I have just spoken to P4U store over the road from work and they have a One X in stock in white. Told him I would wait for the online pre-order to have done something by lunchtime, otherwise I'll cancel and pop over and buy it off him.

Think I might have another web chat with Charlotte B for an update.

Edit - Just checked my bank account and noticed that they haven't even taken payment for the handset yet either.
[HTC One X] Goku80:
White one mate..Looks gorgeous..Massive though:eek:

regarding the headphone hunt i might not bother..they are saying if i did the order online and not over the phone then the earphones would of been send with it..load of bollocks if you ask me...

still on the phone with them...just on hold and he said to me that he will speak to logistics and raise a case with them...have to wait like 48hrs...to be honest i think it is not worth sending back and having to wait like another few days just for that...will try and get it separate the headphones if i can:D but anyway phone looks gorgeous and will keep you guys updated
[HTC One X] Drefsab:
It was the same for me not had a single bit of communication from them since placing the order other than the standard One saying the media links will be delayed. I spoke to their live chat yesterday they said my order had not been dispatched yet, its really annoying not knowing
[HTC One X] Goku80:
beats earphones not going to be included and to be honest no point trying to bargain with them and try and make a case of getting them to send it out to me. like someone said before i probably just spend money on a pair of decent earphones and not to worry about it...anyway just glad i got my phone now and let the party begin
[HTC One X] dafadau:
Had another thought if I'm going to go with GiffGaff - what are my chances at picking a One X up on PAYG from an O2 shop today?
[HTC One X] dainesefreak:
Probably best to phone a few and see.
[HTC One X] chrisjcks:
Pretty high, but you realise giffgaff runs on the O2 network?

O2 top up cards will work on giffgaff too.
[HTC One X] BigladUK:
I called my local store this morning and they are putting one by for me so you might be lucky

[HTC One X] Devilsduck:
My three order is out for delivery...but no time slot given...what's the betting on me being last delivery at 6pm
[HTC One X] combat goofwing:
Well all you t mob UK customers there is good deals to be had,just phoned up to request my PAC code.A very nice lady asked me the usual questions then said she could see I was interested in the one x in white,she said they had none but could get me one via there partners chitter chatter,told her what I was looking for and to cut a.long story short its being delivered before 1 pm on Saturday on the following

18months @35 per month

Free phone

I get £180 per month to spend on texts,calls,pic messages,08 numbers(more than enough ad use about 60 mins and 300 texts a month)

Unlimited landline calls

Unlimited internet has a 3 gig download limit which is what I have now but facebook,google,Twitter etc doesn't come off my allowance so I thinks its a pretty good deal ,please to 18 months only and to keep my decent data download

Sent from my LEEDROID powered Desire HD
[HTC One X] dainesefreak:
Web chat with P4U and . . .

"Your order is currently awaiting dispatch and could take 3-5 days."

"Ok, sorry for being a bit thick here but does that mean that it hasn't shipped yet?"

"Yes, but that could be happening now as the system hasn't updated yet."

"Ok, who do I call to cancel as the shop over the road as them in stock."

Oh dear. Going to call at 12 to cancel and then pop over to P4U over the road who has white in stock.
[HTC One X] OysterCatcheRR:
You can check the time on the DPD website no? They should have texted you the parcel number so you can check
[HTC One X] Goku80:
guys anyone who made there order online through the 3 website make sure you have your beats earphones with the phone.

apparently to get the ear phones you must place the order through the website...cheeky ****ers but anyway just keep an eye out.

First impressions.

Screen is gorgeous. Will go to the extent and say yes it is better than my S2 i had.

It is huge.:eek: but will get use to it.

Hate that you have to use a micro -sim. have to get them to send me a micro - sim for my old contract.

but other than that i am pretty happy.

Hope the guys who are waiting for their phone they get it today and enjoy it....Now just wait for the development to start:D
[HTC One X] Audioboxer:
Are all mobile phone launches this messy? :D Lack of stock, HTC launching right before Easter holidays, lack of HTC Media Links, providers unveiling their tariffs extremely late and other general confusion/disappointment?
[HTC One X] tsleng:
Depending on who you are buying with. :p

I'd say 3 has done a good job this time round. Unlike the Desire-gate last time :D
[HTC One X] Devilsduck:
Yeah, I have the parcel number, but it just says out for delivery. Where it should say the timeslot it just says "today"!
[HTC One X] bev309:
I ordered via 3 website yesterday, due for delivery today between 15:09 & 16:09. I had to call 3 for a tracking number as they never sent one - haven't received a text either.

Will let you know if the beats headphones are included, but not holding out much hope lol!!
[HTC One X] manook:
Popped into my local town and to my surprise all the shops had stock of both colours (including three,voda and tmobile)

Ended up going for the 12month voda contract. 199.99 for phone, 36month but got urbeats headphones and a free case so I was pleased.

Also turns out I can get 20% monthly discount through my wifes work which was a result.

Just gonna use the 3 months unlimited date trial and then swap back to giff-gaff
[HTC One X] dainesefreak:
Ah yes, I was in the first batch, one of the lucky ones. I ordered the day of launch and got mine the following day, unlike those who ordered weeks in advance and waited weeks after launch to get the phone.
[HTC One X] west2cool:
wat sort of case did you get
[HTC One X] gaiden0000:
Just got mine from Three, and sad to say the Headphones are just default HTC ones. No beats, so they are getting a call from me shortly.
[HTC One X] dannysmith43:
Just did a live chat Charlotte B on P4U....was dispatched today...when it turns up though??? Who knows!!
[HTC One X] riz157:
Mine just arrived. On charge as I type. Ordered yesterday from mobilephonesdirect and delivered today. Fantastic
[HTC One X] MrPhilo:
Going to get my tonight, hopefully they have some in stock.

But im really curious of the Samsung i9300 (S3), I had a Galaxy S2 and now Galaxy Nexus.

A leaked benchmark of the i9300 dominating the benchmark at 2nd place beating iPad 2, just behind iPad 3, using the old Mali 400MP GPU. Surprise the old Mali 400MP is beating the Tegra 3.

But im still getting a HTC One X, then I'd probably get the S3 after aha!

Benchmark:

http://glbenchmark.com/result.jsp
[HTC One X] combat goofwing:
just add got email confirmation,standard webrowsing does also not come off my allowance thats unlimited so 3 gig a mnth for sky go onces its working is fine for me
[HTC One X] manook:
http://shop.vodafone.co.uk/shop/mobile-accessories/htc-one-x-touch-case

Ignore the picture as the real case has the correct cut outs.
[HTC One X] dainesefreak:
Apparently the 9300 isn't the S3, it's another dual core 1.5ghz phone with 4" SAMOLED screen.
[HTC One X] OysterCatcheRR:
Wait, Terminator, did Three not send a microsim with the phone???
[HTC One X] Goku80:
hehe let me know what you do..did you order it from the site?

---------- Post added at 12:27 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:24 PM ----------

yes they did.. but see i had already a sim only contract which i paid 10 pounds a month and i have like 1gb internet data. were the one that came with phone i am paying 32pounds a month and only getting 250mb internet data...

so need to get a micro sim for my sim only contract and i will be telling them about my new contract data as well..kinda stupid really
[HTC One X] det66:
Attachment is webchat with p4u just now.

No tracking no. but dispatched yesterday? and will take 3-5 days ? bollocks. They are palming us off ,what's the odds phones don't arrive to next Tues/Wed?
[HTC One X] OysterCatcheRR:
@Term - would it not be cheaper to just get an internet add-on??
[HTC One X] MrPhilo:
Well isn't that a bad thing? If that beats Tegra 3 and it isn't the S3, I can't imagine how S3 performs.

But it's taking too long for S3 to come so im just gonna get the HTC One X tonight:)
[HTC One X] dainesefreak:
Just spoken to a P4U Account Manager to cancel my order. Upshot is she is emailing the warehouse to see if it has already been dispatched as she's had a few that she has gone to cancel only to find they have already gone out.

I said that if it has been dispatched then I'm happy for the order to stand. If it hasn't then she is going to cancel and I'll pick one up in store. So I'm waiting for my phone call back, which is apparently happening within the hour, 45 minutes to go and counting.
[HTC One X] OysterCatcheRR:
Are these tests even optimised for quad-core processors??? THey dont really mean anything atm
[HTC One X] beasty54:
I got my grey Vodafone one X from p4u today but only got the despatch email this morning, they also told me 3-5 days.
[HTC One X] MrPhilo:
It isn't about the CPU, its about the GPU.

The GPU is using the old Mali 400MP with huge improvement compared to Tegra 3.

The thing is though, Samsung Galaxy S3 is gonna be released around summer in my opinion which is too long to wait. So the HTC One X is still for me.
[HTC One X] nickhuk:
Mine came today... Waaw. It's sooo light, it first felt like the battery was still to be put in, obviously not the case.

Grey all the way :-)
[HTC One X] det66:
Ohhh may keep my fingers crossed then mate ,hope you're enjoying yours :rolleyes:
[HTC One X] Goku80:
to be honest mate i am not really bothered about the contract that came with the handset. i am more than happy to use my ten pound a month sim only contract with the phone. now by calling them up later on if i can get them to do something about the internet data on the phone contract then i will be happy. if they do not then i just try and explain that i will be using the sim only contract and let the other run down. win win basically for me..

but will try and get it down from 32 to less if i can. if not like i said i got enough internet data on my sim only contract;)

regarding the beats earphones. found my old sony ones so that should be more than good enough. we already have beats audio sound in the phone so no matter what earphones you get the sound should be great
[HTC One X] dewhurst88:
ok this is for all those that are waiting for there phones from phones4u. i only got the confirmation email this morning at like 10.30 and spoke to them on live chat and they said it had been dispatched yesterday just had a phone call from home since im at my gf's and its just been dropped of by postman and its a white 1 not grey. FINALLY!!!!
[HTC One X] dainesefreak:
Ok, well my P4U pre-order is now cancelled as they still hadn't dispatched it.

So I'm off to the shop down the road in a few minutes to hopefully pick up a white one.

I couldn't be bothered waiting for the SGS3 either. Samsung needed to have done something definite for me by now, a launch date or an official specs list.
[HTC One X] BigladUK:
Sorry if I missed this but for those who have received there phones today I assume they include NFC ?

Thanks

Si
[HTC One X] Twissle:
Just canceled my order with affordable mobiles. What a useless outfit! They didn't even bother to ask me why I was canceling, I'm sure many others have canceled theirs today and it seems that they don't even have these phones in stock to sell but they still kept me hanging on with empty promises. Well done to those who got theirs today. I'm going to hang off on ordering another until I see more reports about battery life.
[HTC One X] dr9722:
Good luck with that. I went into P4U on Monday and the staff there hadn't even heard of the One X and is wasn't even on there pre order list. I mentioned it's available on the website and they said it's the first they have heard of it!!
[HTC One X] dr9722:
Can people please post as to whether or not your One X's are coming with physical network branding on the outer casing?

Some people are reporting that it does, others are reporting that it doesn't.
[HTC One X] nickhuk:
They do: settings > more. Which includes NFC, media link, VPN etc

---------- Post added at 01:36 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:33 PM ----------

Phones-4-u Vodafone no software or hardware branding. software version 1.26.401.2
[HTC One X] Reckless187:
Aw Yeeeah! Just arrived! Its just sitting there, I dont want to open it. Just stare at it lol.
[HTC One X] manook:
Grey one x from Vodafone retail store - no physical branding. Vodafone logo on bootup and a couple of apps but nothing OTT.

Cannot tell if its sim locked as I have no other micro sims.
[HTC One X] Audioboxer:
I cancelled my order as well (3 Ultimate 500 @ £29 p/m), they said it was getting delivered to them today and I'd see the handset tues/wed next week...

Decided to re-order the 3 one deal at £25 p/m and a handset cost of £117.99. That is really good value, 2000 mins, 5000 txts, unlimited internet AND tethering. So if I ever do use tethering I don't need to worry about hiding it. In the long run it works out about £20 more than the Ultimate 500 deal, and obviously has an expense of £118 from the get go.

Going to chill out and resign to waiting another week for my phone. Hopefully by then we have s-off and the development scene is running even better than it already is. Love getting new tech day 1, but as I said previously on here, this is a 24 month contract for me, making sure I don't regret a contract 2 months down the line is far more important than getting the phone day 1.
[HTC One X] DomCowell:
Laughable how the earphones have a bigger box than the phone itself!
[HTC One X] dainesefreak:
Ok, so now P4U in store can't sell me one as they can't do the Vodafone 12 month deal. They could phone up their head office to do a web match but then it would have to be posted out to me.

I give up.

Maybe the SGS3 appeals after all.:rolleyes:
[HTC One X] nickhuk:
haha no need for the box size WHAT-SO-EVER
[HTC One X] OysterCatcheRR:
Sounds like a nightmare mate - best to wait for the best deal though. Dunno if reacting to a week long wait by committing to a phone that hasnt even been announced yet isnt going a bit overboard though :D
[HTC One X] culac:
Just picked mine up from 3. No branding on the case but it does have the logo on boot/shutdown :mad:
[HTC One X] dainesefreak:
I might just take it as fate, not meant to be. ;)

I'm a Samsung fan and was originally holding out for the S3. Decided to go for the One X first, possibly buying the S3 afterwards. Things are making me think I might just carry on waiting. Been due an upgrade since September.
[HTC One X] sebbo90:
Anyone who got their HOX from phones4u say whether it comes with beats headphones? I could only see a comment from someone who had bought from cpw
[HTC One X] DomCowell:
I am currently awaiting Orange to activate my sim card, and then need to phone again to port my number.

Which sucks as I am now going to be caught by the bank holiday etc. Great.
[HTC One X] dr9722:
Im in the same boat mate. If we get the PAC codes in today then taking bank holidays into consideration the port should be complete around the 16th :mad:
[HTC One X] dr9722:
Yes all One X's come with Beats Headphones
[HTC One X] DomCowell:
Ridiculous, isn't it?

I have my PAC code, but Orange wouldn't take it until the sim is activated - which they say may take 24 hours. So then I have a phon, on a contract which I can't use as a phone for a few days!
[HTC One X] dainesefreak:
Anyone been into a Vodafone store and picked one up? Considering going straight to Vodafone and seeing if they have stock in.
[HTC One X] leith51:
Got my one x yay
[HTC One X] OysterCatcheRR:
Woo gz!
[HTC One X] leith51:
Did upgrade over phone went in town popped in shop asked if I could take them now answer was yes you can now its on charge will play later
[HTC One X] Goku80:
how do i know if my baby is unbranded? i mean i can not see any 3 apps on the phone and no 3 sign on the phone:D or unlocked
[HTC One X] dr9722:
24 hours? That's strange. When I got my Galaxy Nexus I just put the Sim Card in and was online straight away.

Do the micro sims work differently?
[HTC One X] Goku80:
mine did not
[HTC One X] det66:
I LOVE ROYAL MAIL .

Phones4U bog standard HTC no Beats, not that it matters to me .i want the phone not over priced crap headphones.

I GOT MY ONE X
[HTC One X] OysterCatcheRR:
Niiice! Mine should be here in the next hour or so :)
[HTC One X] dr9722:
That's weird. I could have sworn I saw somewhere that they comes with Beats
[HTC One X] Goku80:
Thats what i thought but after being on the phone with them and they were fussing that i might have to send the phone back and then re-order again to get the online deals i can give the headphones a miss..

i am calling them later though to re negotiate my contract and might try again about the headphones..either way i am very happy with the latest purchase and for the amount i am paying each month is not bad

it is to slim though so a case is always recommended
[HTC One X] sebbo90:
Has anyone who got the phone without the beats contacted phones4u about it? (Its not the point about whether you like the headphones, but the fact that they confirmed they came with them) I was just wondering what their reply was.
[HTC One X] Goku80:
if they confirmed to you that they should come with them then you have a case mate...i know like you say it is not whether you like them or not it is all about having the total package and without the headphones it does not really complete it..

but again the phone it is what matters and i love it...takes time to get use to though. i keep pressing the back button thinking it is the menu one:mad:
[HTC One X] try2:
That makes me even more happy. No 3uk logo on boot either?
[HTC One X] DomCowell:
I don't think so :S

I have contacted Orange, who have said I need to contact DAP. But it is near impossible - their customer service line appears to only be automated - struggling to get through to ANYONE!
[HTC One X] det66:
Beast of a phone compared to my Desire S

Feels way lighter than the DS as well
[HTC One X] welshandy2322:
use the sales number
[HTC One X] dr9722:
Sorry - DAP?? :confused:

EDIT: Gotcha - sorry me being a spaz! Why on earth would Orange be telling you to contact them? They have nothing do to with the mobile service
[HTC One X] DomCowell:
Dialaphone :)
[HTC One X] Goku80:
unfortunately yes mate:mad: 3uk logo on boot..and just checked and have S-ON as well whatever that means....All honesty i do not mind as i rather not root it straight away and enjoy it the way it is..regarding bloatware the feature now in ICS were you can disable apps is a winner for me. that way i would not have unwanted apps and i still manage to keep my warranty:D
[HTC One X] Zipperface:
Well my white One X arrived a little while ago, and i'm :eek: at how big it is!!

Dwarfs my Desire...

Now it's just a case of waiting for it to charge up!

It's been charging for about 45-50 mins, and the back does not feel warm at all! don't know if that's because it's charging turned off?!

Great job by home delivery network by the way... the driver actually knocked on the door! well.. when i say he "knocked".. it actually sounded like the SAS were coming through the door :mad::D

maybe he's never seen or heard of a doorbell before! ;)
[HTC One X] tsleng:
Got my Grey unit from 3 UK. No branding on the outside.

There is the logo on startup and some apps but nothing major.

Firmware is 1.26

Loving it so far!
[HTC One X] OysterCatcheRR:
How punctual were your guys' deliveries from Three? Mine is meant to be between 14:56 and 15:56...
[HTC One X] Horridge:
Thanks for the comparison, I've got a brown HTC Desire and it's good to see them side by side, I was worried about the size difference, but the Desire's screen was beginning to feel a bit small anyway. What's the weight difference like?
[HTC One X] sebbo90:
Put a preorder in a week ago on dialaphone. However happened to see a deal on affordablemobiles, which has cashback by redemption. Dont really tust it tbf, but was wondering if anyone has had any experience with it?
[HTC One X] totoro86:
Yo!

I preordered my white one x on 3 through the website Omio then through affordable mobiles.

It's £31 per month for 24 months for the one deal (2000 mins, unlimited data and texts.

Seemed fair :). Wanted it on 3 for the faster data speeds in and around london.

Not sure on delivery yet.

Seemed pretty fair for minutes and stuff considering that I wouldn't get the deal normally instore, and t-mobile offered the same deal for £36 a month.

The One Deal on 3 normally has a minimum price of £36 for all phones so is pretty good :)
[HTC One X] nikzDHD:
Before you take the plunge have you tested 3? I tried out the AYCE for 1 month and binned the sim. Albeit fine o2/GiffGaff were faster for me with better reception. 2 years is a long time to commit yourself, ensure the network you choose works well signal more so importantly.
[HTC One X] bigdyl69:
Got mine ordered on Monday thru phones4u as an upgrade on my orange contract. Got it on a 18 month contract with 600 minutes, 3k texts and 750mb internet for 28.50 a month and got the medialink box included for free. Not bad I thought as an upgrade on my Samsung Galaxy S and getting it for 18 months when most are only offering 24 but I was told I'm a band 5 customer as I was on an expensive contract. Can't wait to get it now
[HTC One X] sebbo90:
Good price :) I would go for that except I really dont want a white phone. I have had three before and each time after three months or so regretted getting white :)
[HTC One X] chrisjcks:
This is the 1st device I've seen were white seems to be the preferred colour from would-be customers.

Personally I've never owned a white phone, or a HTC phone - so might aswell have a complete change eh? :) lol
[HTC One X] DomCowell:
Pre-ordered for a second time from dialaphone, hopefully for the cashback.

Better work this time - disabled adblock. Nothing showing as of yet (5 mins on)
[HTC One X] nikzDHD:
I tried submitting a claim but it stated it can take up to 3 days to track! Never had any purchases where it's taken longer than a day. Tomorrow I will submit a manual claim and see what happens. It's the cashback that makes this a tempting deal.
[HTC One X] nikzDHD:
Ah mate you'll like it HTC devices are good. Despite certain flaws in the past, poor camera, poor battery life etc hoping the One X is the one from HTC this time round. My DHD was great albeit worse battery life than our S2s.

There's just something about HTC and Sense, look at the Sensation and how the dev community. Plus you get new updates much more frequently compared to Samsung.
[HTC One X] Audioboxer:
Free handset? If so really good. I'm 28.50 a month on Orange for 24 months with 600 mins, unlimited texts and 1GB. £59.99 handset, but £65 cashback covers that.

Would probably prefer your offer for a smaller contract length, but I'm still happy.
[HTC One X] bigdyl69:
Well I got mine due to me being on a 45 a month contract for the last 18 months, phones4u told me I'm on their highest band for a returning customer (used them for my last upgrade as orange tried charging me 150 for my sgs where phones4u gave it me for free, so much for orange being nice to loyal customers) so I could have had an iphone 4s for free (but I ain't that daft). I was amazed by the deal they offered over the phone, wasn't expecting anything even close to what I got so I ain't complaining, just anxious to get the phone now. Don't bother trying to get upgrade decks direct from the network provider, they suck, always shop around with the independent retailers because they will haggle more to get your custom
[HTC One X] dullhunk:
cant wait to get one...
[HTC One X] DomCowell:
£50 cashback now shows up on Quidco.

Still edging towards the black One X though - even after changing my order to White :S
