[HTC One X] ErikWithNoC:
Hello all. I currently have a Nokia Lumia 900 (upgraded from an iPhone 4) and have the ability to trade it in up until the 14th of May or around then. I've been contemplating switching to the HTC One X because of what I have read about it. I don't want this thread to be about bashing other devices, but text in the browser of the Lumia 900 is bothersome for me; it is very rough looking (I think this is partly due to the font, but mainly resolution) and the application support is disappointing (not the quantity, but the quality). Every review has stated how gorgeous the One X's screen is and I like the curves of it as well so that pleases me. I have used Android devices and have never been particularly impressed with them until I handled a Galaxy Nexus with ICS. That was a big turning point in Android for me and am heavily leaning towards giving it a go (I'll be able to upgrade again in November if I dislike the phone for some reason) as this would be my first personal Android device, but I had a few questions.

1. I have read some stuff about the storage of the One X. Apparently it only comes in at 16gb, but Sense and ICS take up about 6gb of that and leaves you with 10gb for personal use. I have also read that out of that 10, only 2gb is allocated for apps. Is this true? I don't like the idea of being limited in what I store on my phone. I don't see why I need a partition to detail how to store stuff on my phone.

2. I have seen people complaining about screen flickering and yellow dots on the screen. I typically approach this with optimism and assume its just the vocal minority, but I still would like to ask if its a problem.

3. I'm not a big fan of the way Sense 4.0 looks and much prefer stock ICS. Are there any custom ROM's out (not launchers) that get rid of Sense and leave you with just stock ICS (does Android Revolution HD)?

4. How is gaming on this device? I'm assume its quite spectacular with the Snapdragon S4, but most of the gaming tests so far have been from the Tegra 3 devices and begs the question if those Tegra 3 games are capable of being run on the AT&T model of the One X. I've read that the S4 beats/matches the Tegra 3 in most tests and was wondering if the stateside One X will be capable of the same gaming abilities.

5. Does Beats Audio really do anything?

6. How loud are phone calls? One problem I had with my iPhone was that calls were really quiet and I needed to use my home phone when I talked to someone. The Lumia 900 is quite loud and I have been very pleased with it and was wondering if anyone could tell me their experience with the One X when it comes to phone calls.

7. This is something I'm really surprised I don't know, but for some reason I can't visualize how notifications are handled with Android ICS/Sense 4. Both WP7 and iOS (now) have notifications appear at the top of the screen, but I can't remember what Android does. I thought it might roll into the status bar or something, but I can't quite remember. Is there an app or tweak to allow for instant reply to texts regardless of what app your in (I had a jailbreak tweak that allowed for this on the iPhone)?

8. I have also heard that apps are somewhat disjointed. By that I mean the UI. WP7 and iOS both have a typical design philosophy to them and I know Google has been pushing developers to take advantage of that with the Holo theme in ICS, but I was curious about users experiences with 3rd party apps. Are 3rd party apps typically good looking/uniform with the rest of the device?

I think that about covers it. Sorry for all the questions, I'm just very curious about the device and heavily leaning towards switching my Lumia in for it. If you want to say something about the device on top of the questions I have asked, please do so. I'm really looking forward to seeing your replies and experiences with this phone.

Thank you for taking the time to help me out with this decision if you choose to do so.
