I can live without the removable sd card, but the unibody is worrisome. I have a tendency to run through batteries like a beast and being and to swap to a spare one on the fly is awesome. I hate being tied down to an outlet while I wait for my phone to charge.

Being able to pull the battery is also important to me because it's the most reliable way to kill the phone if it freezes, and because if the charger port gets damaged(as happened with my MT4g) I can always resort to external battery chargers as an alternative.

I also owned a HTC HD2. For me i feel its gonna be better then One x.

Because i don play much games, i use fb/twitter that doesnt use much processing power and listen to music/video.

HD2 with sdcard slot vs One X in storage ( 28gb vs 26gb usable media storage)

HD2 with expanded battery vs One X (2400mah vs 1800mah)

HD2 can load winmo / wp7 / android 4 os.

Until now .. a 2yr-3yr old phone provide so much more functionality then a flagship phone..

I will stick with it for a while longer :D

My thought exactly, too bad the people that dont care about phone specs just go out and mass buy whatevers the latest and make it seem these companies are doing something right, when really there raking two steps back. Loved HTC back in the g1,mt4g days,gave LG a chance but lately Samsung has been stepping up and taking over the cell phone business. Until they prove me wrong I wont budge from Samsung.

well, HTC did do a nice job on increasing the internal memory. my evo 4g only has a 2gb sd, and that is more than i need!

Not a deal breaker for me. I don't need my whole album connection in storage. I have a little bit for when I'm in a spot with no data reception, but the bulk of it in in the air. While it def may be to make the phones thinner, i also think the manufacturers are pushing us to the major online storage companies.

i have to agree.

i just bought it because the screen of my HD2 slowly dies. it does what it want when i have a bit sweaty hands.

and i'm happy about the big screen on the OneX. but somehow i have the feeling that i will change back to the HD2, sooner or later.

a friend of mine still has a HD2 wich he used only a week. it's almost new, and he would sell it to me for 100CHF.

this would probably fix my screen issue... i'm really thinking about that

Too bad all gsm network in my country :( thus the only possible phone for me is the international version 32gb / and maybe at&t 16gb version

Its gonna be hard to overclock the one x without extended battery while retaining battery life. (but i believe our dev would find a way :D)

All these non removable battery / sd slot / s-off is making it very hard for us to customize and modding our devices :mad:

I've been struggling with this dilemma too!

Even though I'm looking to get my first android phone now, I'm no stranger to android. I've been working as an android developer for a bit over 2 years now and have 6+ android phones on my desk at any given time.

I had high hopes for the One X. Though I love Stock ICS, HTC's lightweight sense 4 will likely be serviceable. I do not like Samsung's TouchWiz.

The lack of sd slot bugs me. Especially on a device with 16GB total storage! 32GB internal storage would be a fair compromise since I would store my music in the "cloud". 16GB is just too tight even with that.

My other reservation with this device is the poor battery life that has been reported.

I understand the benefit to creating a unibody phone that cannot be opened. I even appreciate some benefits that gives us. However, it seems like HTC went a little too far with form over function this time around, so I'm still waiting for the perfect android phone.
[General Topics] Spl4tt:
well, "lightweight sense 4.0"

bull****. my phone uses over 700mb RAM the whole time. mostly i have only 200-350mb RAM free. yes, that's enough, but still this sucks

AOSP android on my HD2 didn't even use 200mb

i can't stand sense, i hope there's a AOSP ROM soon.. and today i'm gonna try that ROM "exodized" wich should be near AOSP..

else, the batterylife is the best i experienced so far. i'm just used to have a spare battery..

i don't mind the lack of the SD Slot, but i need to be able to remove the battery.. that sucks a bit, even if the battery is doing good in the HOX..

Google is selling the official Android device right from them....

Say what you want HTC executives but I will only buy a official Android device from now on! Idc about two" Bloat apps(Verizon Gnex)

Compared to 10 or more! So...

And its a crime to advertise 16gb and bloat half of them up with carrier BS!

I've owned plenty of your devices, the last (HTC evo 3d) was in a otterbox defender case, and the cheap battery back cover started showing gapps in the creases???

Also your screens need not have so much space in-between. Some people (HTC) believe that heavy means quality, NOT ME HTC!!!!! The bigger they are the harder they fall. Anyone heard of that?

Disappointing.

Drop hardware keyboards, so already have me looking for another manufacturer, which both opens and pushes me out the door.

Can't change the battery...slams the door behind me.

No microsd slot - locks the door and ensures I won't return.

HTC - what have you done? 3 months ago I couldn't imagine ever buying a device from another manufacturer and sung your praises to anyone who would listen.

I was able to articulate categorically why an HTC device was the right one to buy, and provide intelligent arguments to people countering their 'but I like this other thing' arguments with cold hard facts and proof of superiority.

Now?

I can't imagine ever buying an HTC device again and find myself arguing for anything else that ISN'T an HTC device.

I may not be able to tell people what to get, but I don't hesitate to tell anyone who listens why they should not even consider an HTC device in their choices.

Hope you hear that, HTC - while I may not have any suggestions on what to purchase, the only advice I give anymore is don't buy HTC.

Sad, sad state of affairs.

If I had a facebook, I would post this. If someone else would like to quote this to the HTC facebook page and attribute it to my XDA username, i'd appreciate it.

Typed up on my doubleshot - the last HTC device I am likely to own.

Even if the battery cannot be replaced it isn't a big deal since you can get an external charging source anyway. The sd card is more annoying.

We should also look into the issue of HTC's unlock! They are locking down what can and can't be done through fastboot limiting our options when it comes to rooting. @toastcfh has been doing some extensive research into this and is leaning away from HTC due to their stubbornness in actually unlocking our devices.

Please if you are on twitter let @htcdev know how you feel. If you have a blog or do any sort of Android journalism spread the word! They have also put up eating pages on their site and facebook, so go and tell them we need a true unlock solution for our devices and/or a way to flash what we want through fastboot!

I believe I will continue to buy HTC in hopes for a solution. Hopefully, HTC will step up and provide the solution.

Consider yoursef lucky

HTC TYTN II: Some hardware keys stopped working after 12 months of normal usage. Sold it for spare parts.

HTC Desire Z: Capacitive buttons stopped working after 8 months of normal usage, flex problem possibly. 8 months? Second HTC phone in a row? I was pissed off. This one had to be serviced.

I often buy my phones from USA or UK online retailers (you know: Clove, Expansys, Negri, etc), there's no HTC division in my country so I contacted HTC Latin America for a service shipping address, at my own expenses if required.

They said they couldn't process my request because my model was "not available in Latinamerica" and asked me to contact HTC USA.

OK I asked HTC USA for a shipping address or a place to take my phone for service in person since I was going to travel in a couple of weeks, but they refused to provide an address and said they couldn't accept the phone for repair beause my Desire Z "was from Bell Canada" (Bell Canada?? I bought it from an online retailer!!) and I "had to contact them for service".

OK I got it: I had to travel to Canada, find a Bell office and show them the phone for inspection, fine. Enough.

Good bye HTC. Goodbye forever. That was my last HTC device.

I won't waste my money on 8-months-lasting phones, with or without world-wide service.

I ain't buying any of the One series...reasons: no MicroSD slot, no exchangeable battery, no longer aluminium unibody for the price, tegra 3 and not the S4....

I have several HTC phones Diamond, O2 XDA Terra, HTC Legend (my spare phone just in case I messed up big time with the Desire) and HTC Desire (the good old Amoled one, rooted and S-Offed and running MildWild right now, experimental phone).

Note:

O2 XDA Terra was in repair several time due to the screen and the physical keyboard.

HTC Desire went once to repair to to over heating during GPS applications (before I decided to root it).

I am really disappointed with the Ones...HTC is moving towards iPhone and I ain't buying any iPhones!

I am now considering to get myself either a SGSIII, Sony Hayabusa, Motorola Razr Maxx or SGNote 10.1 (tablet) until end of the year...none from HTC..

Sorry to dissappoint you, wise HTC fanboy, but

I've had a lot of phones during the last 17 years: Ericcson, Nokia, Siemens,

Motorola, Samsung, Sony Ericsson.

I buy often because I love tech, but every time I buy a new phone, I sell or keep the last one, because good phones rarely fail.

I'd say only 3 out of around 25 phones have failed me.

And 2 of them were HTCs.

Moreover, HTC is the ONLY brand that has failed me twice with zero support.

I agree. Matter of choices and personal tastes.

Maybe I am the only one with two bad experiences in a row with HTC phones. Anybody can fail ...twice ;)

HTC make the most powerful smart-phones I ever had in my hands, and I tried a lot of theme. All of them have great look, those are far above other manufacturers. Only think is that there is some lake of finishing lately, as for my sensation XE. The rear body of my phone isn't fully past to the main body in some place.

After many people complain about the battery life, but as far as I can make heavy use of my phone a full day I am satisfy. And for those who want more battery life simply buy a low performance phone without tactile screen.

Sense UI is also the best UI you can find. Fast, stable and offering a really complete and powerful interface.

In the top of that, the Devs developing custom Roms and tweaks for HTC phones are awesome and give to our phone everything that HTC didn't think about and improve grandly user experience.

Only thing I could advice HTC to improve is to follow what the devs make for HTC devices in order to customize and improve the roms. It would be great to find something like leedroid tweak, a rom as fast as Coindroid and a kernel as Faux kernel binder both performances and battery life. With all of it nobody would ever think about S-OFF.

Like many others I too have had many phones over the last 17-18 years. The first really good "smartphone" experience I had was with the G1. Before that I had the SDA, MDA, Audiovox 5600 (all windows phones) and a bunch of Nokias before that.

For the last two years I have gone away from Android after using the Iphone because the OS felt clunky, lagged, looked like crap(mainly due to the screens of the android phones).

Well I have finally came back to the Android side with the HTC One X and love it. I could care less if there is a sd card slot and here is why, DROPBOX 28gigs free to put whatever I want on it.

I was telling my friend that the only time I keep music or videos on my phone is when I travel, since there isn't any service in the airplane. Any other time I can stream whatever I want and most of the time I have access to wifi so data isn't a problem.

I read someone say they couldn't keep 20 gigs of music on their phone and at that I laugh. Why the hell would you even want to do that? To each their own, but lets get real here folks. I have more of a issue with not being able to pull the battery than a sd card slot.

Just my 2 cents.

Inconsistent maybe in the fact that older phones get the update later but that is to be understood, HTC want to:

Release the update as quick as they can so they do it for the devices with the most numbers, newer ones.

HTC have been very good with the ICS update in terms of the phones getting it, I mean HTC are giving the Desire S ICS but samsung can't give the samsung galaxy s ICS? That's just crap.

Well I've been using HTC devices since 2005. over the years I have owned a Blue Angel, Universal, Touch, Titan, Titan II, Touch Pro II, HD2, Dream and a Desire HD. Looks like I am finally done with this company.

If they are worried about losing sales to the technically illiterate crowd they should release two versions of this phone. One with removable battery and storage, one with unibody and internal storage. While they're at it, maybe they can release their own proprietary crapware like iOS for those who cannot "figure out" android OS. This is clearly just another case of customers being forced to bend to the will of their corporate masters. Good companies CONTROL their customers nowadays ;)

Most companies still want to try and follow an iPhone model to attract people with sleek and thinness. Not too many people complain that the iPhone has no memory card slot, but then again, you don't buy an iPhone for that. It's all about to appealing to users. Apple basically said: If you don't like this type of phone, buzz off. There's so many Android and other OS phones out there of different styles to attract different kinds of users instead the conformists. You just have to deal with it and wait for the "Next, Best phone".
