Yeah I followed what you did. Have you used Affordable Mobiles before? Strange 3 still haven't got it on their own site.
[HTC One X] xavier2k3:
Bigdy, thanks so much for posting this! It encouraged me to follow up an Orange upgrade with phones4u. They gave me the One x in white free on an 18 month contract, 400 mins, 3000 texts, 750mb for £28.50 a month. Got the free media link too! I'm in band 5 and a loyal customer having been with Orange for 6 years+ and been on these past contract for 30+ months on my current 24 month contract. Reduction of £7.50 a month in the contract itself.

Now just gotta cancel my dial-a-phone preorder.

Thanks so much!
[HTC One X] MancUK:
First post from a long time lurker & as such I'm unable to post a link to the T3 (via Mobilife) deal of the day. It's out there on the internet if you look but only lasts for 10 hours from the time I posted this. The deal is as follows:-

Vodafone UK

Free HTC One X

Free HTC Media Link

24 month contract

900 minutes

Unlimited text

500mb of data

All for £31 per month.

As I fell out with Vodafone I doubt I'd get that so I'm hanging on to see what I can get from T-Mobile as I could upgrade from my Desire as of 14th March. I can't wait to get the phone & hope the 5th of April is still the expected launch date in the UK.

Cheers,

Manc
[HTC One X] chrisjcks:
Ouch,

2 year deal with just 500mb data?

Might be ok for some, but I hate being tied down for sooo long & I use upto 500mb of data per working day, so having that for a monthly allowance would be majorly expensive for me.
[HTC One X] bigdyl69:
No worries, glad to have helped
[HTC One X] MancUK:
I agree. I got unlimited data from T-Mobile when I got my Desire so will be waiting to see if I can get the same deal from them for the One X, can't see why not.

Manc.
[HTC One X] DomCowell:
The Orange deal is cheaper as it comes out at £28.50 a month.

ALthough you only get 600 minutes, you get 1GB data too (and swapables). The vodaphone deal is good nevertheless.

I have a One X on pre-order with Orange, however like you am available for an upgrade with T-Mobile - but if they don't post their deals before release they will lose a customer (erm, technically they are combined with Orange, but they still fight for customers).

Oh, and welcome to the forums :)
[HTC One X] tsleng:
Mine was good. Within the time slot.
[HTC One X] Goku80:
no apps from 3 so that is all cool:D
[HTC One X] Zipperface:
It's the photo i was trying to find online also! Thought someone else may find it helpful :)

As for the weight. Pretty similar feeling... if anything the Desire feels a little heavier!
[HTC One X] Bigmille:
LOL, Look how small the One X is!
[HTC One X] Zipperface:
lol

NO I'M CALLING ON MY GALAXY NOTE!!.... NO IT'S RUBBISH :D

jk ;)

what's the background on the Note? it's pretty nice.
[HTC One X] try2:
I can live with that too.

Wasn't going to root just yet either.

Mine is at home on the charger. Got the wife to do it so I can come home and play straight away lol
[HTC One X] Goku80:
:D thing is though i received mine today and i can not make any calls at the idiots from 3 have not activated the new card yet:mad: and i can not use my old contract as i sold my galaxy s2:D
[HTC One X] det66:
bunch of useless twunts :mad:
[HTC One X] OysterCatcheRR:
Wooooo!!!! It arrived!!! Charging atm, I havent even tried turning it on.... Should I?

This is a bad idea, isn't it...
[HTC One X] det66:
It's killing me not turning it on
[HTC One X] chrisjcks:
Hi,

My HTC ONE X (white) has been delivered, my first impressions are:

WOW - what a screen!

Its sooo clear & bright, it makes my sgs2 look rubbish. :D

The phone isn't actually that big, not when I place my sgs2 next to it.

I'm having problems putting htc's screen protector on, (already given p on the first one), and the 2nd one is also troublesome - the sides won't stick down! Grrrr - I have a 1mm edge around the protector, that just won't stick.

Not sure whether to use or not, think I will wait to see if it sticks as this edge is noticeable.

I've not really used the phone yet, its on charge.

But I'm amazed at the screen, its super clear, super bright. (Is default auto aswell?)

The phone is sex-ay, & the notification light is bright enough (even though I can't see the actual light when its not on)
[HTC One X] Goku80:
i know mate they are useless...so i have to wait for like 24 hours to activate the new account and plus now they are sending me a micro sim for my other contract which is ok...but if i want to re-negotiate my tariff i have to wait for the account to be activated before they do anything:mad:

regarding the beats earphones he is talking to his supervisor to see if they can send it to me or not...hehe fingers crossed
[HTC One X] Icemagic786:
Seems P4U have changed their delivery method, Apparantly mine has been sent today via city link which means it will not be here for Saturday..... Gotta wait untill Tuesday... Gutted!
[HTC One X] det66:
OHHH FFS mate I got the dispatched email this morning and Royal Mail delivered it today at 2.30 apologising for not being here for 1pm !
[HTC One X] Bigmille:
I got most of my background pictures from this thead. Using Multipictues Live Wallpaper app the picture auto change every 10 mins.
[HTC One X] Goku80:
update 2

Right got off the off and actually for once not really happy with 3 network.

They told me:

To be able to re-negotiate my tariff i need my account to be activated firstly. So that means easter holiday weekend with no phone. I said well i can not use my old contract as i sold my s2 and that card is not a micro-sim. So basically i am waiting for that to be activated in the next day or two before i can do anything else regarding my account.

I said due to all this inconvenience and as to not sending me the I-Beats earphones already with the box i should get them send out to me no matter what for the hassle you guys are putting me through. Anyways not holding my breath for that but you never know due to what is going on. Apparently they are having technical errors hence why my account has not been set up.

I told him also that i never had this happen to me before. Everytime i had a new contract with a new phone my activation was on straight away and not had this happen to me..anyways it is playing a waiting game now and i am using my phone now as an mp3 player and to surf the net over wifi:mad:
[HTC One X] Zipperface:
Excellent. thanks for that.

I do love a good sharp background pic :)
[HTC One X] craftycarper1:
No branding or boot logo on mine, from Dialaphone, on Vodafone, as far as i can see only 1 Voda app.:D

Guessing it's probably unlocked as well, might cut down my Orange sim and give it a go, number will be transferred next week anyway.:rolleyes:

Can confirm after cutting my Orange sim, my One X is unlocked as well.:D
[HTC One X] det66:
Phones 4 U are also saying about activation taking up to 48 hrs. Wonder if it's some kind of security thing, I'm with o2 btw
[HTC One X] tsleng:
Seems like micro-sim will be activated the next working day. NEXT WORKING DAY!??:confused:

There are no working days in the next 4 days. :eek:

So I guess I have to use the desire for now...
[HTC One X] qpop:
Why not chop your old SIM into the right shape? Loads of Youtube videos and would provide a stop-gap for you.
[HTC One X] Goku80:
done that..tried it and messed it up:o
[HTC One X] manook:
Just received another HTC one x preorder which I cancelled with three last week. Can't even return it until next week as there is no account setup and they can't find my initial order.

By the way I queried what customer service are working and as they are outside of UK they are in Friday and Monday.
[HTC One X] nickhuk:
Already choped voda sim few weeks ago (had to use an iphone 4s for about a month :mad: )

phones for u voda upgrade came this morning, micro sim with phone not activated so threw it in the box and using my old sim, no difference apart from a new paint job on the sim.
[HTC One X] dannysmith43:
Hmmm just got my consigment number from live chat with P4U...so they are sending via City Link....called City link and they tell me its due to be delivered Saturday! I won't be here but that may be useful to someone else whose in this situation....Still no email from P4u about dispatch...quite shocking
[HTC One X] beasty54:
Did phones4U at anytime say we would get beats earphones? Does anyone have proof?
[HTC One X] Drefsab:
I spoke the to phones4u and they said they are being advised it should be coming with beats headphones.
[HTC One X] west2cool:
jus got my tracking number after they claimed it was dispatched yesterday, jus did the tracking on royal mail site.

We have received your item and expect to deliver it before the guaranteed time on 10/04/12. If you have purchased Saturday guarantee, your delivery will be guaranteed on Saturday
[HTC One X] sebbo90:
"What is in the box ? beats audio headset/ ibeats headphone or normal headset.

Answers

PHONES4U STAFFEXPERT

Fantastic question kevin987

All HTC One series handsets will ship with ibeats In-ear headphones as standard. The handsets also feature beats audio software built into the HTC music player for enhanced sound and playback."

From the q&a section of the HOX on the phones4u website. I have also spoke to someone on the phone and to chat and they both said the same
[HTC One X] visor:
Just collected my OneX from the Three store, and I can tell you that there are no beats earphones in the box - they're exactly the same as the ones I got with my Sensation (basic - not even tangle free model).

Even so, after yesterday's false start, I'm a happier chap. :)
[HTC One X] Audioboxer:
Affordable Mobiles now have the HTC One X in stock, hopefully my order ships tonight and gets here for Tuesday.
[HTC One X] beasty54:
Thanks, i'm just querying it over the phone now, its not a deal breaker but its not good either.

*EDIT*

Well i'm glad i gave phones4U a ring, they offered me a £50 cheque because the beats headphones wern't included.
[HTC One X] Reckless187:
My cousin got his from in store Vodafone. He got the white one I think.
[HTC One X] vinfromuk:
Reserved a One X in Grey for in store purchase tomorrow at CPW - I'm not sure if the shopping centre is on Sunday hours though with it being a bank holiday, so I'll just have to resist getting into town for 9 sharp!

Friend at work ordered through O2 on Tuesday night and asked for it in white, the girl he spoke to verbally confirmed white. The order confirmation didn't mention colour and a grey one turned up this morning. When he phoned to complain and get it swapped they told him they weren't doing white.
[HTC One X] tsleng:
Did it. Success!:D
[HTC One X] dainesefreak:
Ok if this happens I take it all back. Called P4U this afternoon, after not being sold a white One X in store, and reinstated my order.

Literally just had an email saying that they have arranged a special courier and I will be receiving my phone on Good Friday.

To be honest I can't fault the Account Manager I spoke to. She even went down to the warehouse to reinstate the order herself and called me back.
[HTC One X] OysterCatcheRR:
This phone is so much better than I expected it to be. And I expected a lot.

Forgive my French, but I have literally been j***ing everywhere for like the last 2 hours.

P.S. I might have had a bit of luck with regards to Three and not getting the Urbeats with them. £50 credit will go down very nicely :)
[HTC One X] tsleng:
£50 credit?

How did you get that?
[HTC One X] jonneymendoza:
here is the best tmobile can offer me

£60 for the device,

18m flex35 unlimited internet(more or less same contract im on now).

good?
[HTC One X] Bilhouse:
jonneymendoza from Evo-Web right? I assume your moving from your Galaxy Nexus to the HTC One X?
[HTC One X] hetalmp:
Phone has arrived HTC one x and its a beauty. Why is the USB cable so short
[HTC One X] Goku80:
i second that as well..how did you manage that mate
[HTC One X] OysterCatcheRR:
Spoke to like 4 different people. Explained that the sales person had given me the impression that I was getting urbeats and quoted Kaz guy confirming we would get urbeats - they didnt really argue :S

If you are able to do that as well, then the headphones you will be able to get will be MUCH better than Urbeats...
[HTC One X] Goku80:
thing is you already have an account activated..i can not do jack **** till my account is up and running. if they say to me on Tuesday when i get back from my weekend away that my account is not activated i will be returning the phone...do not need that kinda bull**** from them and get a different phone...:( wished i never sold my s2 now:(
[HTC One X] bev309:
Mine arrived - some problem with the sim - so cannot use it until a new one arrives - over bank holiday weekend too - gutted is NOT the word!!!!
[HTC One X] Goku80:
i feel your pain:(
[HTC One X] trickyhenry:
UPDATE

Right .... Now my further bad luck.

So I ordered from kingofgadets guaranteed delivery..... No!!! Stuck in Hub?? WTF.

So went to cpw £479 splash on MasterCard.

Now with a little trebuchet launcher and widget locked I nearly have a stock ics One X and I am very very pleased.
[HTC One X] chrisjcks:
I'm just sooo glad that my cut sim that I made with the noosy sim cutter - worked perfectly.

I don't like all the apps I don't want installed, such as google+ etc.

I don't like how it tried to install all my apps on 1st boot

Large Twitter sense widget, but no large facebook one...

My biggest problem is the contacts, I don't know how to show just my saved sim contacts in people - it's populated with facebook contacts etc. (annoying)

I gave up on the HTC screen protectors, they just wouldn't go on as I'd like - I'm a little OCD, so it has to be perfect.

But, I'm using my pouch so don't need one as of yet (gonna wait for film, such as SGP or zagg)

I'm loving the phone though, the screen is truly something special, the design of the phone is great too.

I didn't think I'd like the curve, but I really do. :)

My first white phone, and I love it.

I have no screen glitches etc
[HTC One X] combat goofwing:
Got the same deal off t mobile flex 35 but got the phone free

Sent from my LEEDROID powered Desire HD
[HTC One X] Goku80:
i have to agree with you mate. and tomorrow i might be going case hunting. the thing that i am starting to find a bit annoying is the buttons at the bottom. is there no option like on the s2 were you have a timeout for how long the lights can be lit up?
[HTC One X] jonneymendoza:
galaxy nexus is my work phone and yea its me mate. you getting a htc one x?

uhh? how did u blag that? what did you say because i kept asking if thats the best deal they can offer. that on 18m contract?
[HTC One X] Bilhouse:
Yep picked up an HTC One X in White today from Phones 4 U. Got it SIM free. Beautiful display. Blows away the Galaxy Nexus screen. Selling my iPhone 4S now since I got the new iPad. This will be my new phone....well until the Galaxy S3 gets announced anyway!
[HTC One X] chrisjcks:
LOL I havnt got a clue, first ever HTC phone.

Still don't know where half the settings are. :)

But c'mon, those blue lights are awesome.... Sooo much better than plain white.
[HTC One X] tsleng:
Surprisingly, my micro-sim got activated.

It is about 4-5 hours after I registered it and after the trouble I went to cut my old sim up! Successfully as well! LOL
[HTC One X] bev309:
That's good to hear!!

Can I ask who you are with & how you registered it?
[HTC One X] tsleng:
Sorry I did not state that.

I am with 3 UK. Just filled up the form on their website and that's it.
[HTC One X] wizzkidd:
Orange sent out the email this morning to say the HTC One X was in stock. I called them and they said its in their warehouses but not on their systems yet. I was promised that they'd send me a text when it is on their systems, and sure enough at 1pm I got that text.

I called them promptly and was holding for some time to get through to someone (my guess is everyone was calling at the same time).

Anyway, I've ordered the phone on Panther 36 (which is their promotional 24 month contract for this phone) at £36 inclusive of VAT and a wealth of new add-ons.

What let me down is that they confirmed that there are no Beats headphones in the box, he couldn't confirm if there was a screen protector in the box and that they only had the phone in black! He said the white will likely be released for sale in 2 months. I went ahead with the free upgrade nevertheless.

I've seen in a few posts back that someone is showing off their white HTC One X which has frustrated me somewhat. Can anyone here confirm that there really is no White handset available to Orange at the moment? If there is a white handset, do you think I can get it swapped (even after its been delivered) ?

Thanks.
[HTC One X] bev309:
Thanks - I am with 3 UK too - or will be as soon as I can get it working lol!!! I wasn't aware of any form on the website - do you mean the 'my account' one or is there something I am missing - sorry for all the questions!!!
[HTC One X] tsleng:
It is three.co.uk/microsim

I am an existing customer so I need to use that to start using my new micro. (while disabling my old sim)

As a new customer, I am not too sure how that works. I thought it should be activated and good to go.
[HTC One X] Audioboxer:
Dialaphone are doing the Panther 36 deal for £28.50. Handset costs £59.99, but they're pretty much wavering that cost for anyone that phones and asks them.

Think you could've squeezed a better upgrade out of them!
[HTC One X] bev309:
Ah right, I see, thanks anyway - I guess I'll just have to wait until the new sim arrives next week !!!!
[HTC One X] samreedy:
well some stupid company called yodel decided they cba to deliver mine to me today....

probably wont get it tomorrow, sat or monday so will have to wait until tuesday :@
[HTC One X] wizzkidd:
Damn it, a £28.50 could be exc VAT, so even inclusive, it works out to £34.20 which is a £1.80 saving - not much for me to cry about really. But every penny counts I guess. Although i'm getting the handset for free. So i guess I could offset that £60 as an indirect saving.

I just called orange this evening and spoke to someone hoping that they'd say "oops we made a mistake, the white is infact available"... but no, the person was very clear and blunt that they only have Black and cant even clarify if they ever will have it in White. DAMN! :(
[HTC One X] DomCowell:
That price is inc VAT - if it isn't I will be furious!
[HTC One X] Audioboxer:
It's including VAT!

Strange that Orange claim they aren't getting white, everywhere else is. Think it's simply more in demand and they don't want to lose a sale.
[HTC One X] craftycarper1:
What blue lights?
[HTC One X] wizzkidd:
That's a competitive price if its already inclusive of VAT, I've just checked it on their site and saw the deal you were describing. Damn, how can a reseller offer lower prices than the main company themselves? I did notice that it said 250MB of data? The Pather 36 direct from Orange said their giving me 1Gb of data plus these "swapables" which includes sky sports that doest eat into the data.

Did you say you were you able to get the £59.99 handset fee waived too?

If the data allowance is 250Mb I suggest you get on their case about that, and if they sort you out, i'm going to get on Oranges back and give them a hard time too to price match.

Are you getting Black I take it? Since White is not available with Orange :/
[HTC One X] iad77:
Anyone manage to get one direct from Orange in WHITE ? They told me it's only in black ?!
[HTC One X] Audioboxer:
The data is 1GB, 600 mins, unlimited texts and 2 swappables. It was a really popular deal on here, especially when the htc media link was included.

There's a few panther deals, but it is there, looking at it right now :P

I got the handset fee waived by calling CS to cancel and saying I had seen a better deal elsewhere - Numerous other people on here and on other sites done the same.

These online sites simply operate on smaller profit margins, and they have to be competitive to compete. It seems when going direct to the contract providers, you really need to haggle and sometimes they simply don't care - They'll get a lot of casual traffic into the store fronts paying what they offer without any haggling.

Also, I had it ordered in white with dialaphone. I have since completely cancelled (I turned down the £59.99 handset fee waiver), as I decided I wanted unlimited data.

You could phone back orange first and tell them to better your offer or you're going to dialaphone - They probably won't budge and then it's up to you to decide. At least try and haggle with them.
[HTC One X] DomCowell:
It is 1GB data :) Third from the bottom - Panther, not Dolphin :) http://www.dialaphone.co.uk/phone/HTC_One_X/HP_Panel_P3/

Yeah, ridiculous, isn't it? How can a supplier like dialaphone offer so much cheaper deals!

*Also, it is white with Orange :)
[HTC One X] JimmyEatFood:
any o2 customers have issues with image compression?
[HTC One X] chrisjcks:
The 3 touch buttons at the bottom, they are blue & look bloody awesome! :)
[HTC One X] nickhuk:
colour blind? :rolleyes:
[HTC One X] wizzkidd:
Ok, i've decided, i'm going to call Orange in the morning and cancel my order (although i have already received my consignment number from UKMail which says UKMail have "collected" the item, and delivery is scheduled for Tuesday - I hope this doesnt cause a problem). I will then call DialAPhone and go for their Panther 36 deal @ £28.50 because I am convinced that their deal is exactly the same as going through orange (and I can get it in white). Am I right there, or are there some differences? e.g. Purchasing via Dial-A-Phone is just as a reseller right? The tarrif still goes through Orange right, and im entitled to everything Orange related as if I bought it direct? Also, I currently have Orange Care Insurance, can Dial-A-Phone move that over to the new tarrif too?

Oh and one other thing... What can I say to them to waiver the £60 handset fee. I mean, if I say there is a better offer elsewhere, then where should I say?

Just need some reassurance and guidence folks :)

Cheers.
[HTC One X] chrisjcks:
What colour are they then, look blue on mine....
[HTC One X] Arthur Hucksake:
They look as white as Neal McDonough to me, the whitest white man to have ever walked the earth.
[HTC One X] Goku80:
do me a favor mate please...look at the power button at the top. on the right side of the power button do you see like a little hole at the bottom of the button..kinda like the plastic power button is out of place? i know it is nothing and will be covered when using a case but i am kinda OCD with things like that and i just want to know it is not me just imagining things
[HTC One X] Audioboxer:
The tariff with orange is exactly the same, as you said DAP are simply a reseller. Only difference on the contract is the price.

I'm not sure about Orange Care Insurance, you'd have to ask Orange/DAP. Isn't that something you pay extra for?

When I phoned DAP I told them I wanted to cancel because of a £29 p/m deal on affordablemobiles which offers unlimited data. I said the handset cost is also free which its not with DAP.
[HTC One X] Goku80:
Looks like I will be sending my one back. When shaking it I can hear something inside rattling. Not.really what I.want to be.hearing now do I. Gutted.
[HTC One X] chrisjcks:
Hmm, they still look blue to me.

My phone is white, Google is white - those buttons are blue. ;)
[HTC One X] Goku80:
Sorry to ask guys but does anyone else notice there phone to rattle when shaking it
[HTC One X] chrisjcks:
Yeah, a teeny tiny bit.

Nothing to worry about, think I've heard something similar in all electronics.
[HTC One X] Goku80:
So your advice nit bother to return it.
[HTC One X] chrisjcks:
No, if its a teeny tiny sound like mine, its general electronics, they all make a slight noise when being shaken around. (You ain't actually supposed to shake electronics around lol)

But if you can feel a part moving physically around the phone, you should return it.

(I don't know how bad it is on yours)
[HTC One X] leith51:
Mine are blue :)
[HTC One X] DaveDesire:
Someone post a picture of their 'white' buttons then
