I will out definitely be purchasing one of these little beauties. As I deliberately abstained from the One, waiting for the M8
However, I do have a question; is it worth waiting a few months for manufacturing to iron out any issues before buying ?
Hardware or board revisions tend to change or is this not an issue with HTC anymore ?
Cheers

every device/company improves manufacturing as the device ages.
Ultimately its your decision to make.
Thanks, I will wait a few months I think on my poor old one X.

Playing the waiting game on technology is always a tough call, and in the end there is always something better coming so it is just a matter of picking the time when you are ready and the device suits you. If you wait a couple months to buy the M8 there will be news of the Note 4, LG G3, iPhone 6, and possibly some new HTC's (mini/max).
Personally I go with the early order straight from AT&T, if I have any issues I walk in to a store and exchange it no biggie.

Hey all, seeing as how Wirefly has posted the g2x for being 149.99 on pre-order, I was wondering if it was worth it to jump on the bandwagon quickly, or just wait till the reviews come out. The deal ends on Friday if I am not mistaken, so i just wanted the forums advice;
would you think i should wait for the reviews to come out?
do the pre-order devices generally have a worse build quality compared to a month later purchase? (I know that some people said that the g2 hinge got better as htc improved the hinge over time, but i doub thtat)
Thanks alot!
EDIT: mod, please delete this thread, i didnt know ther was an optimus 2x thread, ill move it to there
Pre order just means you are waiting in line for it
Generally, after reading about many devices, never buy it the first time around. Wait a good month or two and read reviews.

so i take it that the htc didnt make the hinge stronger over time? (as absurd as it sounds)
I got mine early as well except I walked into the store and got it. I haunt had any hinge problems.

Idk?? Ive seen some phones (on youtube) that have ****ty hinges.. ive never had an issue. And why not preorder?? You have a buyers remorse period for a reason.. use it. The only reason id wait is to see development support for a phone. But since cyanogen said he was gettin at G2 i knew id be good.

I am really tempted to upgrade, however I keep telling myself that if I just let my 2 year contract expire, the phones that will be out in that time will be a lot better then the one.

I was really very tempted to get HOX when it got announced last year which I of course bought. Somehow I don't feel that about ONE. I guess that's because I am completely happy with my HOX, and prefer the way it looks comparing to the one. Not planning to upgrade anytime soon and the reason is not that I can't afford

There is a developer model available, ships SIM free with bootloader unlocked, I'm not 100% sure that it will be s-off but it does say fully unlocked, no mention about warranty but it seems there trying hard to give the community they want.

No more HTC unless they remove their crappy implementation of s-off and locking bootloaders.

apart from the battery and the camera i dont think the s4 has got that much more.. good looking device but i think the alluminium unibody of the One is nicer. and probably most of the people here prefers sense over touchwiz. indeed two top specs phones!
definitely tempted with One. Also signed up for the supposely $100 rebate from HTC. Who knows...I might buy the One to get the rebate and sell it hopefully at a higher price. :fingers-crossed:...unless I decide to keep it

According to my sources Verizon wireless will have the HTC ONE before march ends maybe dna+ will see and will have a removable battery and sd card slot will look different alittle in colors hint red/black compared to the normal HTC ONE that all the other carriers will get .. And they will do there own marketing next week now that gs4 has gone and shown there phone.. Specs will remain the same might use a 13mp for camera instead thou .. Will the 13mp be better then the ultra pixels will just have to wait and see reviews. All depends on the camera SENSOR..

If this is true, i am definitely getting the HTC One
TechnoBuffalo's samples show the HTC One blowing the Lumia 920 away in low light. Litchfield's camera samples show the One is better than the Lumia 920.
I'd say it's going to be the best camera in an Android phone, bar none. SGS4's camera samples out there right now look horrible.
Ugh if it's true the phone you listed is not a HTC ONE

This sounds too good to be true. If it is true than I would absolutely get it over the S4.

How does a removal battery work when it's not located next to the backplate? This phone you're describing sounds just like the HTC One but completely different.

Join the club...they have NEVER had a flagship HTC phone. MAYBE the Touch Pro/TP2 days, but I'm not counting them because WinMo6.1 was so terrible. The Thunderbolt was somehow not as good as the EVO 4G. The Incredible's were incredibly mid-ranged. The Rezound was a JOKE and the DNA is too big/slow...
There's no winning in the US

Hello every one,
I bought a Htc One X couple of weeks ago. The phone didn't had any warranty with it. The problem started right from the beginning, i had a faulty device which had a WiFi signal issue. Later i found out that, the camera lens went kaput and i wasn't able to adjust my focus. Now, a mild l screen Flicker started when the phone is on full brightness. After all thesw issues i decided to sell off my one x at a lower price and move on to another device. Even within a couple of weeks i grew fond of this forum. And i am very sad to leave. But, i have to do what i have to do.
My request is, can you please suggest any phone with a good all round performance and good xda dev support and is in the same league as Htc one x?
Thank you so much guys.

Maybe you can specify a price range. Go and look the Nexus 4. If you like the screen - it's a good choice. And the price is tempting.

Seeing that you live in India, the nexus 4 is the best option among the three. You may even sell the one x at about 20000rs and have to pay only 5000 for the N4

I do consider it comparing between two phones but I assure you that n4 will get longer Dev support. Just take the example of the earlier nexus which still has a great Dev community.

My HOX is slowly getting more and more problems, and I too am thinking about switching to another phone. If you want dev support, the Nexus 4 probably has the best xda dev support of any phone ever, and you can expect it to last a looooong time. I'm currently looking at the Xperia ZR (which is available in India) it certainly won't get much for dev support but it looks like a really solid phone with great battery life (much better than N4 but with the same CPU/GPU combo) that's just my 2 cents though. Sony isn't great about updates but as long as they are better and more straightforward than HTC then I will be happy.
Oppo find 5 without a doubt. Maybe the price is a little higher but the screen is much better! And the design is beautiful something you can not say of the N4
