It is not important of course. I don't think anyone has ever mentioned it to be a dealbreaker.

It is a flagship phone with beats audio plastered over its back. The Sensation XL and Xe has it and they got beats audio plastered all over them as well. Therefore we just expect beats to be bundled with the One X.

Without it, its like example: Mercedes partnering with Mobil, recommending Mobil 1 as the lubricant for the car. It even has stickers on under the bonnet mentioning it. But when you buy it, it doesn't come with Mobil 1 but some other brand/type. Sure, just like the beats, you can go change it yourself but then...

Personally, I have ordered it regardless of getting the beats or not. I do not like beats audio products because they are more marketing than actual sound. Sure, they sound alright but you are paying over the odds for it. But if I get it it is a bonus, and like I said, many expect to get it.
[HTC One X] nickhuk:
No beats headphones

Clove.co.uk states that the headphones are: "Stereo headset (flat cable) with in-line mic & call control (not Beats headphones)"

Vodafone pre-orders come with beats so expect eBay to be full of them come shipping day.... £25-£35

but TBH the beats that come with sensation XE etc and voda pre orders aren't "real" beats headphone, so is it worth it?
[HTC One X] THFourteen:
but i think thats the mistake people are making

"beats" doesnt necessarily mean a specific headphone. Its more of an audio system. HP Laptops come "beats" enabled too. they dont necessarily come with beats headphones

all "beats" means is that the computer or phone has graphic equalizer preset settings built in which Monster are calling "Beats"
[HTC One X] nickhuk:
Really its just a gimmick... but shh i wont tell if u don't!

where is best to pre-order Sim-free (as in price inc ANY discounts/Promo/Cash-back)

so far its Carphone Warehouse - couple of pennies short of £480
[HTC One X] MancUK:
Useful for me mate thanks. I'm with T-Mobile on the £36 a month contract at the moment which runs out on the 14th of this month. I know the Full Monty plan is £36 & is pretty similar to what I get anyway but I was considering going to another provider purely on principal due to T-Mobiles lack of communication & whats seems to be blaze attitude to allowing customers to pre-order any phone. However apart from that my experience with them has been the least painful of any provider & I've been with all the big ones in the UK so in my opinion it's 'Better the devil you know'.

I take it you got through to retention's by threatening to leave them? If you could update here (if you haven't already) how you get on I'd appreciate it.

Thanks Manc.

I just changed my order for the 3rd time:eek:

Instead of going to Orange I've upgraded with 02 instead. The guy from Phones4U told me it was a tariff that has only just been introduced : Unlimited mins, unlimited txt, 1GB data, tethering enabled, free handset & £100 cashback.

I really wanted to keep my unlimited data bolt on but he said that can't be done.

Still happy with my deal though, just got to wait until April 12th for delivery :mad:
[HTC One X] crimsonnight:
I'm planning to go to Germany on the 6th, think it's worth holding out on pre-ordering and seeing if they're in stock anywhere at Gatwick... think I'll save that much?
[HTC One X] chaps:
Gah! Expansys say they have them in stock, but are not allowed to ship them until the 4th, for delivery on the 7th due to the bank holiday.
[HTC One X] chrisjcks:
Have you not got next day delivery?

If so, it should come on the 5th which is before the bank holiday.
[HTC One X] DomCowell:
As folks from other European countries post their pictures of the phone, I am getting more and more annoyed haha
[HTC One X] rahularora1:
Guys i managed to snag one through Gum mobile - due for delivery tomorrow!

They had this listed on ebay for instock with immediate delivery

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/HTC-One-X...bile_Phones&hash=item5ae5686a85#ht_4050wt_937

so i messaged them and asked them about it: heres the conversation:

so i ordered through their website and managed to speak to them over the phone - they confirmed once again they have it instock, just got the dispatch email below:
[HTC One X] manook:
Just changed my preorder for the 4th time. ahem.

Decided on the following after working it all out (maths wasnt my strong point so excuse me if im wrong).

My requirements are unlimited internet. Not fussed about tethering but decided on 3 via affordable mobiles.

Htc One x - White - Unlimited internet:

3 The One Plan - Affordable mobiles:

117.99 + (24months x £25) - 3months half price line rental 37.50 = £680.49

http://www.affordablemobiles.co.uk/...oubler&tduid=2cbdc7476118d9bad7692b3b8a11e071

Alternatives

3 The One Plan - Direct from 3:

24months x £38 = £912

Tmobile full monty - mobilephonesdirect:

(24months x £36) - Quidco £30 = £834

Vodafone 12month (Giffgaff) - Dialaphone:

199.95 + (12months x £36) + (24months x Giffgaff £10pm) - Quidco £65 = £806.95

HTC X ONE

Hi

I got mine from 3 for 29 pound a month unlimited internet, 500 mins, 5000 texts.

And the handset is free.

Is was through affordablemobiles i called them and they said it comes with audio beat headphones but he didn't know which ones.
[HTC One X] skanj:
Dialaphone have put up there price to £199 for the 12 month vodaphone contract now.
[HTC One X] DomCowell:
What was it before hand??
[HTC One X] nickhuk:
£109.90 - hopefully just so the call centres can say "ohhh i can take £90 off the cost of the handset for YOU" when really theyre taking nothing off
[HTC One X] hetalmp:
Had a chat with dialaphone customer services and they told me the orange contact phone which a lot of people have gone for including me has a branded orange phone. She said probably on the back. Not sure I want that branding on this phone.
[HTC One X] Evil-Dragon:
I hope not. I doubt Orange will have branded this phone because it's already built, it would need to be done by HTC when it was built.

Hopefully it's not true or i will send it back.
[HTC One X] Audioboxer:
Eeeek, this better not be true.

Seriously, what an incredibly dumb move from Orange if they think people will be happy with that (returns will be in high quantity).

The iconic design of this phone is more important than say the Desire Orange put a custom back plate on (something which can obviously be changed).

It's sounding by branded they're going to bloat the phone out - Which is disappointing as I thought DAP would ship a default unlocked phone. I simply can't believe the rep means a logo on the hardware.

Mine will be going right back to them if Orange touch the hardware - Software bloat I'll remedy by a custom rom, and eventually changing the bootup graphics. DAP can either give me an unbranded phone from their stock to swap, or it's a cancelled contract and deal.
[HTC One X] chrisjcks:
In the past, most orange phones come branded - thought people already know this.

Unless you buy a sim-free phone on orange, it usually comes with a small orange square logo on the back of the phone.
[HTC One X] Audioboxer:
I've never been with Orange before. Shoddy move.

I am now interested as to how they're getting this done - With the phone being entirely enclosed in one case, it would have to be done at HTC manufacturing.

Where as phones with removable back pieces can have back pieces manufactured any where.

Do they brand iPhones?
[HTC One X] Evil-Dragon:
My last contract Orange phone (Sensation) not bought through dialaphone was unbranded. I got it through buymobilephones.net.

I still think that Orange won't have had enough time yet to get all their branded crap ready, hopefully the phone will be unbranded. Here's hoping anyway.
[HTC One X] LeeDroid:
It should be generic on orange uk ;)

Expected launch date is the 5th...

Sent from my SuperSensational ICS LeeDrOiD loaded Beast
[HTC One X] Audioboxer:
Hope so! Was excited to join Orange and give them a spin.

Are you getting a One X? Used to rock LeeDroid on my Desire, great ROM.

edit: Heh, just noticed your sig! Awesome. The community for this phone should be great.
[HTC One X] maverick1103:
I really hope its not...I will ring them and check tomorrow and if it is I will cancel the pre-order and go to work (Carphone Warehouse).

The deal with DAP is great tho :(
[HTC One X] DomCowell:
If Orange is branding it I will send it straight back - and stay with T-Mobile (technically same company, just minus ****ty branding)
[HTC One X] matw01:
anyone ordered from phones4u been given any sort of delivery date? nobody seems to know when us uk people are getting this phone

Think next Friday being Good Friday and no post in UK is fecking things about!
[HTC One X] matw01:

[HTC One X] craftycarper1:
I had my Desire from P4u on Orange in 2010 and it was branded and locked, case had Orange logo on the back.

DAP Orange Branded Handset

Well after reading yesterday that someone spoke to DAP to be told that their handsets are going to be Orange branded handsets and locked to the network, I thought I would give them a call.

So about half ago I rang DAP and asked the question, a lady in Customer Service said they are, so I asked can you cancel my order then, got diverted to cancellations and a guy called 'Martin' asked why I was cancelling, I repeated my answer to him and he said that Phones4U/DAP do not buy their handsets from Orange but directly from HTC so they will come unbranded!

Not convinced he gave me his direct extension number and said if it does he will cancel the contract and send out a bag, but said about 3 times that he can guarantee it will not locked to Orange.

Hmm I'm not sure what to do now as the deal is great, but when the 11th finally comes and it has Orange branding on it I will literally flip Lol!!
[HTC One X] det66:
Whats this about the 11th? Thought it was next week? CPW and P$U both state delivery week beginning 2/4 or delivery for 7/4
[HTC One X] maverick1103:
My delivery date has always been the 11th, Carphone are getting the phones in next week, some stores have already receivef demo handsets, my store hasnt :-(
[HTC One X] Audioboxer:
I hope the CS rep is going by past orange doings, retentions do seem to know their stuff a little better on the whole (higher staff band than normal CS).

If the DAP orders don't surface till the 11th+ I will fear the worse a little, the "delay" could be to do with getting orders from Orange, but that would be a lie to your face from the details you were given. They really should be getting them to us by the 7th, especially seeing as UK stock is suppose to be with retailers now.

Either way you've set yourself up well for a favourable outcome, I think I'll be phoning them later today to go on record as well. If they come branded force them to exchange yours for an unbranded as that's what you were told by CS.
[HTC One X] Chartist:
Phones4u an Dialaphone are both bundling the Media Link. I have not seen anywhere that stocks have arrived and I suspect that may be the cause of the delay until the 11th
[HTC One X] Audioboxer:
Actually the T&C for the media link say it has up to 28 days to arrive AFTER you receive your phone.
[HTC One X] craftycarper1:
Looks like DAP have realised that the 12 month Voda deal was too good, and have bumped up the up front phone payment to £199.95 :eek:

I knew i was onto a good deal when i ordered at the original price with cashback from Quidco.:cool:
[HTC One X] chrisjcks:
My official HTC pouch has arrived... Just not got the phone to put inside it. LOL
[HTC One X] matw01:
Phone4you advised me that the media link would be delivered with the phone
[HTC One X] west2cool:
how long ago was that, as the new info with regards to 28 days was published recently.

Really can't wait, first time I've ever owned a top of the range smartphone. My current phone is a Wildfire so I'm really going to notice the difference.

It's not being delivered until the 11th though :(

Forgot to ask, will the micro-sim be shipped with the device?
[HTC One X] rahularora1:
Sorry guys for the late reply, got it through gum mobile, posted here a couple of pages back, ordered yesterday, paid extra for Saturday delivery
[HTC One X] det66:
Think this showed up on Thursday from memory
[HTC One X] maverick1103:
Yes i too hope he is right. I also am worried about the phone delivery date, cant understand why DAP arent getting them until late, i hope as you say its not because there being shipped from Orange.

Yes best to give them a call, let me know what they say if you could pls :)
[HTC One X] welshandy2322:
my delivery date is also the 11th with dial a phone but on Vodafone
[HTC One X] Evil-Dragon:
Trying to get an official answer to the Orange branding issue through Twitter and Facebook for Dialaphone. They've not answered me yet and probably won't because it would cause so many cancellations but it's worth a shot.
[HTC One X] Audioboxer:
I asked on Twitter last night and they haven't replied.

Hiding it is futile, cancellations after they've arrived are still cancellations :P
[HTC One X] craftycarper1:

Quidco and affordable mobiles

Just a quick question to anyone using quidco and/or affordable mobiles.

Affordable mobiles haven't confirmed my order yet as they said they won't run the network credit check until they have the One X in stock (5th April), and consequently quidco haven't tracked my order yet.

Can anyone tell me if I should submit a missing cashback claims form to quidco now, or should I just wait until affordable mobiles put my order through to 3 for checking?

Also has anyone else gone through affordable mobiles, and if so have you heard from them?

Thanks
[HTC One X] nikzDHD:
Wait a few days and see what happens you have a number of days to submit a claim so it should be fine.
[HTC One X] lankyfish:
Thank you very much :)
[HTC One X] manook:
I ordered with them on friday and just got the automated response. However, when I placed and after the verified by visa payment it showed a 3 logo and appeared to conduct a check there and then.

Although cannot be sure what it was doing.
[HTC One X] lankyfish:
That's exactly what happened with me. Was just a tad concerned about not having received a confirmation email but they must just not be able to send such an email out until they have the phone in stock.

Everything seems to be fine then, thanks for the replies.
[HTC One X] dunkstwo:
Does anyone know when Orange will have these available? I can upgrade my phone and contract with them tomorrow, but if I were to go elsewhere, carphone warehouse etc where they have them available in a few days, I'd have to either wait out the remaining few months with my contract or buy out.
[HTC One X] wavemeister:
Does anyone when the pre order offers will end? I would like to see some more reviews before commiting to this phone
[HTC One X] trickyhenry:
Every time I have tried to buy sim free from phones4u I have been denied. They have told me they have to sell them on contract. Good luck.

Lately this happened on HTC titan and galaxy nexus white.
[HTC One X] det66:
At a guess on release date or shortly before
[HTC One X] Bigmille:
Found a 12 months contract from Phone4u with free media link.

The contract cost £36/m with £150 upfront for the phone. It includes 300 mins; 3000 txt and 500mb of data with 3 months Test Data promo (unlimited).

My idea is to use the phone for 3 months until the data promo run out and pay off the remaining contract minus 20% VAT.

So cost of 1st 3 months is £258 + £259 to cancel the contract early = total cost of £517.

I know DAP had the same deal with £99 upfront fee, but seems to missed that one.
[HTC One X] xavier2k3:
I asked on their official FB page a couple days ago.

There response was this:

"We are working on delivering these devices in April. Sorry we can't be any more specific - thanks for your patience."

So I just upgraded with Phones4u instead on Orange. Check my post a couple posts back. Much better off going through P4U by the looks of things anyway!

Pre-ordered from Expansys [uk]

I preordered a grey One X just as soon as they wree on the site, feb 27th I think.

Was notified a few days ago that they were "instock" but when I called up, the CS agent said they couldnt send it out until the 4th, menaing i'd get it on the 5th.

Wonder by the UK was del;ayed by 3 days whereas German was already selling them and India on the 2nd of April?

Wierd.

Either way, mine here on thursday. Hmm. Think i just did a little sex wee!

Try buymobilephones.net.

Their T-Mobile Medium internet deal is slightly better than the Tesco one. It's £26 per month for 300 minutes, unlimited texts, 750mb data, with no up-front cost.

They also have £30 cashback via Quidco.

Both colours available and expected delivery date is Thursday (5 April).

I'm going to be cheeky and ask if you could say that I recommended you if you do go through them -- mutual benefit (PM me with email address, basically, and then they'll email you)!
