I haven't seen a single person here trying to re-affirm their purchase. I for one was considering changing to the S3 up until yesterday. Seeing that it's still the same old Samsung Galaxy (I.e. Powerful hardware w/ questionable material choices and in this case screen choices) I lost interest in it.

I mean, if you were to jump into any other thread about any other android device, you wouldn't see people trying to defend the HTC One X against it. They are doing it here simply because they feel they need too. I think enough posts have been wasted on this, So I'm not going to talk about it anymore either.

Everyone try to remember that everyone here can make up their own mind.

They're two of the biggest phones this year. Naturally people will be discussing them relative to one another. In fact, most people on this thread have been discussing the S3 on its own merits. References to the One X haven't been as widespread as you perceive them to be.

I have to be say I was a bit disappointed though I can't exactly say why. I mean the S3 seems like a great phone, maybe they just hyped it up too much and that raised expectations.

Or maybe the design was a bit underwhelming. All the flowery language about inspiration was a bit off putting for me as well.

In the end there is probably not a huge difference between the 2 phones, just comes down to personal preference and choice I think.

I can imagine a certain amount of relief from people who purchased the One X as they are not now in a position where a vastly superior phone has been released just 1 month later which is always a concern when buying a new phone these days it seems.

Just disable the bloatware and pop a new launcher on and away you go.

No you still have a non stock android device devoid of any updates until samsung and/or your network provider get round to handing them out. It's just rubbish.

Rom it?


I get what your staying all the same and for me the launcher worked until I just said f**k this I'm romming it and haven't looked back. I understand that's not for everyone and agree it's a real pain that both HTC and Samsung don't give you the choice but force your hand.

ROMS are buggy,all of them Cyanogen, Darkys, Android Revolution, whatever, yes I flash them as I prefer it to stock Sense or Touchwiz, but no they don't offer as good an experience as vanilla android.

I'm the same, I prefer a natural Android feel so I'll flash a community ROM on whatever I get, usually within a few days. I'm lucky that I'm not due an upgrade till June, works out perfect.

I'm still undecided between the GS3 and the One X, although the GS3 seems to be tipping the scale with it's removable battery (a nasty practice), SD card slot and 50GB Dropbox space. I've had a quick play with the One X, I just need to do same the GS3 to see if there's anything I don't like. I was surprised at how plastic the One X was compared to older HTC phones, a very Samsung feel to it, would have sold on me was it metal.

I always liked sense, it added the polish that froyo and gingerbread needed. Touchwiz lasted about 2 hours on my S2 but it didn't seem very intrusive, more like just a launcher. A mountain of bloatware as standard tho.

Stock ICS with Nova is great.

Seen on Clove the S3 is £514

So when can we expect this to be in shops? I heard 3 months - would that be correct?

[mik_da_man]

CPW told me today that they would have it in June, not sure when in June, what networks or price...
