looking forward to seeing some shots from the launch event and 1st hand user feedback!!

---------- Post added at 09:09 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:09 AM ----------

my initial thoughts were to grab the white one x..

but strangely, the more i look at it, the more i prefer the black phone... i dunno what is going on here... is it just me?
[HTC One X] Radiognome:
The white One X seems to look realy cool!
[HTC One X] robt772000:
I saw it in white and it's the 1st phone I ever liked in that shade. Black used to be my choice.
[HTC One X] DomCowell:
No! I thought black was grim at first, but it is growing on me.

Think I will just get family and friends opinions, since they both look amazing.
[HTC One X] barondebxl:
White for me. I got jungle fever.
[HTC One X] w1nter456:
Ya, My first thought also the same, but when I analyze it, white HTC One X was HTC flagship. If I buy a black HTC One X, people won't notice that easily. Therefore, I going to white : ).
[HTC One X] DomCowell:
I categorically refuse to buy a phone because of other peoples views on it.

Being relatively young, the majority of my friends don't understand the concept of anything being 'better' than the current iPhone - so whatever I buy it wouldn't get any kind of recognition as any good (just the 'cheap option' :L)

Genuinely struggling to pick, also determined to hold out on the pre-order because of the S3, but if it is that 'leaked' banner board model I don't really want it anyway - I also dislike the current TouchWiz thing. An poor attempt at making it look like Apple's, without being sued.
[HTC One X] Audioboxer:
Went with black, or grey, depending on where you order. Everything I own tech wise is black, and quite frankly I don't like "standing out", or having someone ask if "that's the new iPhone?" :P

Hope I can see the final product soon, heard from here that the black/grey version at that mobile conference wasn't the final product. I'd prefer if they went with jet black, not really a fan of greys or lighter shades of black. Especially with the bezel being piano black.

Cmon HTC just make the damn thing black, or at least darker than the current shade it is.
[HTC One X] DomCowell:
Bang on it! I get that with my TouchPad, but for iPad. No, it is a tablet with Android on it - then suddenly you didn't get an iPad because you can't afford it or something lol

I am really edging towards the black now, as after thinking about it all my things are black :L PS3, PC, monitor, speakers, tablet, printer, amp and so on.

My decision would be made up if they made it jet black - but the grey is just swinging me back in to the middle!
[HTC One X] w1nter456:
Ya. Honestly, you don't buy a expensive smartphone because of show off. If you did that, then this whole android thread not for you. You might think you buy a HTC One X, people will be dislike on it. But what for? I buy it because I like it. I like being unique. Every smartphone also has it own uniqueness. I think you already chosen become a unique android user but you "struggling" to decide HTC One X or Galaxy S III. So, I hope you understand the unique of android. People buy HTC not because of show off or something. They buy it because they think totally different. : )
[HTC One X] floepie:
From the photos white looks better to my eyes. But, doesn't this have a sort of matte, soft-touch finish on the back that might allow it to show dirt? I wouldn't worry too much if it were more glossy.

So, I guess the question remains. What type of surface is that exactly? Is it similar to the new white Xperia S?
[HTC One X] eteyen1:
again this whole issue of white getting dirty surfaces. Does anyone have any real insight into this? It seems silly that a phone company would not realise that while is prone to get dirty and take measures to prevent it, so I'm a bit sceptical about it all. anyone who has a white phone that can share insight into this? Is the dirt being referred to something that can be easily wiped off?
[HTC One X] jonas2295:
Yes. A friend of mine got the sensation XL in white.

He dropped it once and you could see it so good that he dropped it since you saw it where the grey/black points were...

I dropped my HTC HD2 many times which is black/grey and you will still have to search for those points..

I know they are different phones and one x has another whole new level cover but this maybe helps you.

Press the thanks button..
[HTC One X] Mesho Arc:
I'm getting a White One X
[HTC One X] jameslfc5:
I agree, all my current gadgets are/have been black, touchpad, sgs2,ps3, tv etc

I'd like a jet black, with a nice black piano finish around the edges but so far from the grey photos I'm swaying towards white as I didn't like my nexus being grey.

Also I keep thinking that white might make a nice change :)
[HTC One X] fi3ry_icy:
yeah, now black looks way more awesome... would have love the red metallic ring around the camera lens like that on the one s... :eek:

people like us who drop by xda all know android IS better than iphone..

we dun need to convince others coz at the end of the day, we are the one experiencing this better experience... :)
[HTC One X] jonas2295:
True words, man!
[HTC One X] breadtreemike:
I am going to white coz I had got grey on my desire HD before,either total black is more comfortable for me such as my incredible S before!

Anyway is your choice but white looks better then the grey in the picture~
[HTC One X] mortuus82:
white is ugly... i prefer dark its more nice looking then white like all iphones no thanks.
[HTC One X] MinecraftZombi.es:
Have a white Sensation XL, and love it. no fading or dirtiness anywhere on it, so i have no doubt this'll be just as good at holding its 'colour'.

The One X has the matte soft touch back, but the front white parts are shiny, at least on the rep's one that i saw. It made it look cheap and plasticky, and just didn;t seem to look good to my eyes.

I will go for the grey if i get a choice...
[HTC One X] DomCowell:
Thanks for this information - shiny front sounds a bit dodgy to be fair - would love to see some close ups of it, not on a Chinese website :S
[HTC One X] ahmadcentral:
I'm getting the grey/black one. Although i must admit i was staring at the white one for a while when i first saw it. Never really considered a white phone before until i saw the One X. It looks great in both colours.
[HTC One X] nismo-gtr:
grey is so HTC...... white is better.

any how u are going to slap a case on it.
[HTC One X] fastphil:
would like a white one but it would get dirty to easy in my job as a plumber the grey one looks good that will be the one i go for;)
[HTC One X] MinecraftZombi.es:
To be fair, it could just be that it was a pre-release hw version.I've just compared it with a One XL he has with him and the XL does not seem to have the shiny front.

Also, the X seemed to have a slightly thinner polycarbonate layer, as you could just about see some dark patches where the underlying components were just about visible through the case.

Judging by this, it seems pretty clear that the X and XL that he has may well be from different HW revisions, so it may not necessarily represent the final build.

I'll have to have a look at a retail one to be sure, but if it still has the shiny front, i'll be going grey if i do get an X myself.
[HTC One X] DomCowell:
Please post here as soon as you get this information :)
[HTC One X] twistedh:
All my past few phones have been black, even though I wanted a galaxy s2 in white, I couldn't wait for it to come out and settled for black. This time, definitely getting a white one. Can't wait for the One X!
[HTC One X] craigspc:
I prefer to call the grey one subtle, rather than plain. :D

Which got me thinking - can you get beats headphones in a darker colour too?

Hmm. Maybe it's just me that's plan :p
[HTC One X] floepie:
From almost all photos on the web, the "gray" one looks just like any other black one out there. I'm curious to see whether it looks lighter in color in person than it does on the web.
[HTC One X] Sunny lady:
I'm here for htc one x white . I have never taken any white cellphone except the I pad . All my past phones have been black .
[HTC One X] hello00:
white..

10char
[HTC One X] MinecraftZombi.es:
Ok, I've officially changed my mind.

Got to see the first delivery of the retail ones today.

The White one does not have the shiny white plastic on the front, it is the same soft touch brushed effect as the back.

It is very pretty.

However, even just handling them for a few minutes, there were dirty fingerprints appearing on the back. If you've been reading a newspaper in the morning, you're going to end up with black fingerprints all over this thing.

Don't get me wrong, the colour is not going to fade, but I get the distinct feeling that this thing'll pick up every bit of dirt and dust and dirt off your hands as soon as you touch it.

But yeah, if you can live with that and don't mind wiping it down every so often, i figure it'll be fine. Mine'll probably go in a TPU or Gel case anyway, so it's fine by me.

I have changed my mind, and will go for the white one.
[HTC One X] Tonyipad2:
I preordered mine a white one. Lol this is actually the first white that I have even owned.
[HTC One X] :
I hope the white one will not get dirty... but it is far more beautiful than the black one (in my opinion, obviously)... in fact, I've just payed for my pre-order :)
[HTC One X] milkytron:
I think I'm going with the because I've had only black phones before and I'll be able to tell me phone apart from others more easily (not trying to be a hipster). Like in dark rooms since I'm in college. Plus a blacklight shining on it might be pretty interesting.
[HTC One X] hamdir:
did you see the Retail black version? can you confirm how it looks in the back?
[HTC One X] MinecraftZombi.es:
fraid not. The delivery was of nothing but white ones. I was hoping for some black/grey ones, but no such luck.

regarding the look of the camera ring though, i would say it's going to be the second one.

The XL i have seen has the rings as two pieces like the MWC prototype, but these white ones all have it as one piece, like the final version on the right.
[HTC One X] DomCowell:
Thanks very much for this. Did you try wiping one down? Or if not, do you think the dirt will come on nice and easily?
[HTC One X] MinecraftZombi.es:
Yeah, it seemed to wipe off pretty easily. Even the worst of it only needed a drop of water and it came straight off.

My thought is that it'll just get a bit annoying. As I always use a case anyway, it doesn't bother me. but if I were someone who hates cases, I'd be going for the black one to avoid having to clean it every day. Obviously, this depends on what your life is like...

If you work in a warehouse, outside or are around dusty environments and the like, this thing is going to get filthy fast.

If you are sat in an office all day... not so much.

I tend to cycle a lot, so I'm often covered in chain grease, road grime and mud. but as long as it's in a case, it'll be fine.

Obviously, YMMV.
[HTC One X] BugsyLawson:
I must say that the white one looks really nice from a design standpoint, but I prefer to have a phone that doesn't stand out too much. For that reason I think I'll be going for the Grey one.
[HTC One X] arthasz:
Just because some call it Gun Metal Grey i've made my choice:p:cool: i like the sound of that!
[HTC One X] HlmRan:
White for me, definitely.

After a Desire and Desire S, I was edging towards getting something totally different this year (Sony Xperia S, Galaxy S3 etc)

The grey does not stand out in the way the white does, and if the One X was only available in grey, then I would definitely be looking elsewhere this time.
[HTC One X] SartoriXX:
Gun Metal Grey for me, ordered today, the white does look nice in the pictures but I have my doubts on how it will fare over a 2 year contract. I could of course be completely wrong but happy with my choice :)
[HTC One X] hamdir:
turns out we have three colors

white, gun metal grey and glamour grey
[HTC One X] floepie:
What's the difference between the grays?
[HTC One X] MaXmeOliver:
I'm thinking of getting a white one and then buying a transparent slim hard case. But it's really a tough decision :p

[HTC One X] MaXmeOliver:
Is there any picture that will tell us the difference?

Skickat från min Nexus S via Tapatalk
[HTC One X] hello00:
i was thinking that i would be getting the white one but the white one gets dirty really quick..i wish there was a back one available
[HTC One X] MaXmeOliver:
That's what I'm thinking, but you could always get a nice case to it.

Decisions, decisions, decisions :confused:
[HTC One X] Reckless187:
Dear Diary,

Placed an order online with Vodafone for the One X and it got cancelled via email a few days later. Rang em up and placed an order again and a few days later and I got another email saying the order has been cancelled, so I ring Vodafone up again today to re-order and my bank froze my Credit card.

Finally got the card unblocked and placed my order again today. No Im waiting for another cancellation wmail. Cheers Vodafone UK. You suck. Im gonna buy the phone outright next. On a different network.
[HTC One X] arthasz:
Im sorry for you, good luck with everything bro..
[HTC One X] Moleculinary:
German Media Markt got it already now !!!

Also 2.4 should be launch :D

-> Getting mine now
[HTC One X] DomCowell:
Surely the bank blocking your card is not Vodaphones fault?
[HTC One X] floepie:
Yeah, strange story. I'm sure there's a logical explanation. VF isn't in the buisness of rejecting orders.
[HTC One X] nismo-gtr:
wow that suck. why did they cancel u?
[HTC One X] Reckless187:
No idea why it keeps getting cancelled, Vodafone say its some technical error with their booking system. They do it online, even when you ring em up and the system seems very slow as both times I've rang up to pre-order, they've had to restart the system because it kept freezing up during the process. I know I said I'd leave Voda, but a family member works for Vodafone and he hooks me up with some good deals every now and then so I'll stick with.

The hand set is costing me $139 on a 12 month contract, (I dont want 24 months) so it was basically the 3rd time Voda were having to take the £139 cost so my Bank thought there was some Credit Card theft going on and they placed a block on my card.

I went down to the local branch and had the block lifted and re-ordered the phone. If it gets cancelled again, Im just going to go down to a Voda store and try and grab one on the day of release hopefully...
[HTC One X] -Andyoid-:
Just changed my order to white. :o
[HTC One X] Audioboxer:
Just changed my order to white as well with DAP, hope I don't regret.

Girl said Quidco will not be affected as order reference number stays the same, I'll be keeping an eye on that though. Didn't change anything else, just handset colour.
[HTC One X] hamdir:
so you finally broke lol :D i'm still resisting white
[HTC One X] Audioboxer:
yeah :(

The silver camera ring looks much better. First time I've owned a white phone as well - I'm also guessing resale value in ~2 years MAY be higher on the white handset due to all the Apple lovers :p (whom I may be mistaken as now... really hope I don't get IS THAT IPHONE 5?)

From youtube, it seems like the body is similar to the Xperia S, any dirt/even pen marks can be wiped off. I don't do anything in my line of work where my hands get really dirty, and I have the HTC pouch so the phone should stay fairly clean.
[HTC One X] K1ngLouie:
I have now decided...I will go for the white one, it looks stunning!:)
[HTC One X] stian230:
I just changed my order to white after looking at some unboxing on youtube . The brown-gray doesn't show the design like the white .

The last white phone I owned was HTC magic . I really hope onex will be just as good as the magic.
[HTC One X] craftycarper1:
Still the Grey for me as the white one looks like it should be in Kenneth from "Benidorm's" manbag.:p
[HTC One X] Johnny Rogue:
Black Version!

Just ordered mine from a well known car phone mobile type establishment..... They're selling a white and a black version apparently!!

Also, there's a German guy that's just put up an English version of his unboxing vid on YouTube and his phone looks VERY black!!

Just thought I'd throw that into the mix... ;)

Getting the Black (probably grey) one by the way :)
[HTC One X] Wtrt:
To those in doubt.

I just got mine in grey. It looks every bit as awesome as the white one in my opinion.

Really has this though look. Just think of the name gun metal grey, its that though.

I like it very much and am very happy i didnt cave for the white one x
[HTC One X] CARLXXXH:
Black vs White

I still can't make my mind up.

I originally placed a order for the white version than changed to black now I am not sure again.

The one thing that puts me off about the white version is the silver lens cover.

[HTC One X] bimmerboii:
Im in the same boat.. ordered one in white. Delivery is on the 3rd so i still have time to change to a grey one.

Hmmm..
[HTC One X] hello00:
i wish the back covers were resplaceable
[HTC One X] pewpewbangbang:
The white one initially didn't look "Amazing" because it looked like it didn't flow together with the screen. And I thought the black/grey looked amazing.

But after some unboxing videos, the white one grows on you and actually looks really good. I'd probably go for white and stand out if I was buying one.
[HTC One X] PaulWilks:
I've been toying with the idea of going back to a white one after having a HTC Hero in white... the more I think about it though the more I'm decided with going for a grey one...
[HTC One X] fcng:
I want the white...but for everyday use and not to clean the phone all the time... black is the way to go... white or black....:eek:
[HTC One X] vinfromuk:
I'm going for the grey one, the white is a little too brash for my tastes.
[HTC One X] OysterCatcheRR:
Agreed. The white looks fantastic, but is a bit too 'out there' for something you are going to be using every day.
[HTC One X] Super Chimp:
Grey is just boring with this design.
[HTC One X] exotikos:
ordered with Phones4u the white one... but thinking whether to change it or not... i think there is a bit of time left before they start sending them out...
[HTC One X] twistedh:
I've seen a grey demo unit in the HTC shop we have here in DK, just looks a little boring to me. Plus the shops only seem to be able to get hold of white versions currently and I don't want to wait any longer!
[HTC One X] vioalas:
It's killing me

I love the white! I fear the staining though, apparently even the ink of jeans has gotten on the white one, even though it rubbed off. But grey is boring... Maybe white with a clear case..?
[HTC One X] knoxploration:
Why not grey with a colorful case? White is vastly more popular, which means it'll be vastly more common to see. Be different. :-)
[HTC One X] raghupro:
Just to help you guys
[HTC One X] exotikos:
I think the reviewer may have been a bit OTT...

you either have really new jeans (as just came out of the factory...) or you dye your clothes every week...

when was the last time you had anything in your pockets that actually picked up any colour from your jeans?

i am still in two minds, but not because of discolouration... a white or a clear case will protect it.... but whether 2 years later the white will still look cool, after the initial excitement is gone....
[HTC One X] hamdir:
half the story?
[HTC One X] exotikos:
so surely a case would get rid of the problem...

but I think i am going to change my order to the grey, as it has more available cases than the white one...

---------- Post added at 09:04 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:45 AM ----------

does anyone have a photo of the white HTC one x with a black case?
[HTC One X] mtb2104:
my only concern for the gray is the glossy sides....

dark glossy surfaces tend to show scratches more obviously....
[HTC One X] exotikos:
white has them too... jus coz it is white it shows less...but easily to scratch...

The reviews say that they are not as glossy as appearing on the photos... and i will get a cover for the back which kinda covers the area around it too... so it looks good...

dont get me wrong the white is beautiful, but its too white! i ll be needing to clean my hands everytime i hold it... :D
[HTC One X] fi3ry_icy:
it isnt as glossy..

it is just that it is really smooth and we all know smooth surfaces reflect light well.. so if it is glossy AND smooth.. u get super reflective pics.. :D
[HTC One X] mtb2104:
Yap... I tried the white and knocked it against the counter (for stress test).. and guess what, it dents :D

but because it is white, you can't really see it :D
[HTC One X] exotikos:
does anyone have a photo of the white one in a black case? i think it ll probably look good as the front is not totally white..
[HTC One X] w1nter456:
About the cases.

White One X naked body = nice.

Black One X naked body = normal.

White One X after 1 year = bit of old/yellowish.

Black One X after 1 year = same as new.

White One X with black/white cases = look odd/kind of weirdo.

Black One X with black/white cases = very nice/suit.

Conclusion

If you want htc one x without cases, then go for white version. However, I will still recommended black htc one x since black version with white case/black case look brilliant. Who does not put a cases on his/her new expensive smartphone? Truth be told, white version after 4-6months will become yellowish, while black version still maintaining as new after 1 year.
[HTC One X] xmoo:
I'm going for the gun metal gray because white gets dirty fast!
[HTC One X] Nitin985:
Going grey cause white is an extra £70

Sent From My HTC sensation (desire with rcmix s )
[HTC One X] Marduk20:
got grey because white was already sold out :(
[HTC One X] schriss:
Do you have to wipe the white one more often? Does it only look good when out of the box and then for the rest of its life it's a bit "dirty" look? Or is it more like Lego?
[HTC One X] Gibeon:
I'm very pleased with the gunmetal gray, just look at it....

Very f*cking beautiful.
[HTC One X] exotikos:
looks great! :cool:
[HTC One X] OysterCatcheRR:
Ahh the grey looks superb! Are you using a case/cover at all?
[HTC One X] debully:
You're joking right? My experience today says you are.

Firstly, web order accepted. Fine.

Then Cancelled via email. Card declined (eh?)

Ring bank, get card reactivated.

Re-order on web - Voda declined because the card was previously refused.

Had to reorder on phone and lost the quidco (cashback)

Still not had a confirmation email and ETA, although £130 has come off my card.

Fecking useless.
[HTC One X] DomCowell:
Massive assumptions here.

Don't see why a white phone with a case would look 'weirdo'
[HTC One X] Gibeon:
Nope, it's way to sexy to use one.

But in some working situations, I guess I'll just have to. :(
[HTC One X] hamdir:
man I feel the same about it, its really sexy I compared to the white one and no way, its even sexier on the front laid out on the table with the screen off

mine can't come soon enough :(

finally placed my vote :)
[HTC One X] floepie:
I have the white one. It says, look, even though I'm big and somewhat imposing, don't take me too seriously, because I'm fun. I do the like the grey, but for some reason, I'd rather take the grey if the X had some harder edges and didn't look like a big bar of soap when sitting on its face. Now, I'd be drooling over an X in a blue-grey metallic body.
[HTC One X] :
Finally I've got it!

I finally received my HTC One X White and I must say it is amazing... the design is really beautiful and the white polycarbonate is fantastic.. I thought it was too big for me (I was used with my HTC Desire which is quite smaller) , but it's very light and thinner so I'm able to use it quite comfortably :)
[HTC One X] snowwhite007:
I love the white and Grey i got white tho
