[HTC One X] Zorachus:
Since I missed out on the new Nexus 4, and I needed a new phone right away, due to breaking my Galaxy Nexus, I picked up the international One X off Craigslist here in the U.S. for $325, from a guy who only used it a week, and then he got the iPhone 5.

I have owned tons of different Android phones over the years, and this One X is hands down #1, and amazing to me. My previous Android phones been; MyTouch 3G...Nexus-One...EVO 4G...Nexus-S...EVO 3D...Galaxy S2...LTE Galaxy Nexus, and now the One X.

I got the stealth grey color, really good looking phone to me. I rooted it immediately out of the box, and installed the latest CM10 ROM. This phone is super fast and butter smooth. The screen, my God the screen :D best smartphone screen I have ever seen, just so sharp and clear, and realistic colors. Battery life is amazing so far. Why do people complain about the One X battery life ? My first full workday with the phone now, unplugged at 6:00am, used GPS Navigation for couple hours this morning, tons of texts, lots of phone calls, lots of e-mails, surfed the web, and at 4:30, now unplugged for 10.5 hours an battery is at 35% left. And this is with no WiFi at all today, all outside in the field, with auto brightness on screen. Right now 3 hours screen time.

To compare, my Verizon LTE Galaxy Nexus, sucked balls on battery, I never even used the 4G/LTE but like once a week, it was mainly on the 3G network 90% of the time, and there is no way in hell, with the amount I used the phone today, it would last 10.5 hours with 3 hours screen time, no way. My Galaxy Nexus would be lucky to get 2.5 hours screen time, and be in the red 10% left. And I tried all different ROM's all different kernels, tweaked settings to no sync, everything I could, and still that CDMA Galaxy Nexus, just had crap battery life. My Wife also had the Verizon Galaxy Nexus, same with her, poor battery life, she didn't use the phone nearly at all during workday, it would just sit next to her in the office, with like maybe 5 quick calls day, and a few texts, after work would come home, and her Nexus would be at 50% battery, with like only 45 minute screen time.

I also got her a used international White One X, rooted with the newest CM10 ROM as well, she said right now her battery life is at 75% after 9 hours unplugged. She said the screen is way better than the Nexus, and phone feels more solid, she said she likes typing on it better than the Galaxy Nexus too.

To me this One X with CM10 ROM, is like HTC's Nexus-Four, their successor to the famous Nexus-One. Now I don't see any reason to pick up the LG Nexus 4. What would I gain by going for the N4 over the X ? Next phone for me, would be if HTC releases a One X2, hopefully similar cool design as the One X, but with their new S-LCD3 technology and 1080p screen, and 2GB RAM, and bigger battery. Of course needs to be rooted and latest Cyanogen ROM installed :) I just love HTC's hardware and design, this One X is a solid phone, with nice artistic taste.

Only issue we are having, is Google Voice mail not working. My Wife said when she tried calling me, and I was on the other line, it would not allow voice-mail to be left, said this phone number does not have voice-mail setup.

Straight Talk for $45/Month unlimited can not be beat. I was paying over $125/Month on Verizon for one phone. And we keep our data to like 1.5GB/Month, I use most data on WiFi only at home or office.
