Guys a friend of mine who works for 02 said the One X Should be out in the second week of April. He also said that less emphasis is begin put on iphones these days as they will just sell anyway, so the new HTC phones should be slightly better subsidised - which is nice.

Edit: Uk pricing goes live:

Trying to take the battery out of my Sensation here and it's a pain in the ass - I really hope with the One X it's easier to take apart. My old Desire you just ripped the cover off - its the same with the Galaxy SII - no idea why they made it so tricky with the Sensation.

I do believe that is with the Snapdragon S4 dual core processor which will be available in the states with LTE. As far as I know thats not the Tegra 3 one that we'll get here.

Really looking for to this phone though. I'm due an upgrade in May and this is likely the phone I'll go for.

Popping the battery out of the Sensation is a doddle

Also - the One X does not have a removable battery...

Zascar

I just find it tricky opening the case, you need to push the button down with your nail and then get another nail in to prize it apart. A lot more fiddley than it should be.

No removable battery on the One X??? Grrrrrr. The battery better be bloody brilliant or I'll be pissed. I just bought a spare battery for the sensation and a plug in wall charger dock for the spare battery. Handy to be able to swap it when needed. Not being able to do this with the One X is a pain, as once every while I find myself stuck when I'm low on battery and have to head out for the night etc.

Have to agree, checked out their pricing a while back and was shocked by how bad they were!

Anybody know when this is coming to Meteor

ziggie

Three have it from 9 th April. So I presume all networks will have it around same time. Due upgrade in May myself, like the One S but afraid to commit to another long contract and something better comes along straight away!

dinevalesco

Any idea if the HTC One S will be coming to eMobile?

Can't imagine a new phone being launched on Easter Monday.

I'm kinda the same, but you can get shorter contracts now. 02 confirmed to me yesterday that you can do a 12 month contract it just costs you a little more. Also, my mate in 02 said they are working on something now where under certain very specific circumstances you might be able to get a 6 month contract. That would be sweet..

700 euro for the White, I think I'll pass. :eek:

Jarren

I wonder about our national operators pricing,any news on that yet?

one man clappin

According to engadget, HTC One to be released on Monday in Central Europe.

I called to Carphone Warehouse in Thurles earlier, the guy behind the counter did not know when they are due to be launched here yet. He had no pricing etc on his system for them.

Wonder if there will be any in-depth reviews soon.

I've read that the processor in the S will actually be faster than the one in the X, and heard mixed things about the different screen types.

Then there's the difference in storage capacity / battery size!

The screen on the S suits me better, but the above are fairly important as well

You need a faster GPU and CPU to drive extra pixels on a 720p screen. So hence why the S might be equal in terms of performance id benchmarked or even faster.

In real life their probably about the same.

Tetra 3 should cope well with it.

flugel

Saw the same on some website, S benchmarks higher as screen resolution is less. But only having max 16gb is an issue, then don't know if I could cope with a phone the size of X, decisions decisions ...

Still waiting to see what the SIII will come up with but I wanna get rid of this Hero sooner rather than later!

I wouldn think 16GB is plenty unless you want your WHOLE music library in there 8GB is way too much of a small amount for me if its not expandable.

Plus you get 50GB of online storage (25GB SkyDrive + 25GB Dropbox) on them as well so any pics or certain music files can always be stored online for quick access.

All my photos are on my SkyDrive so easy to say i save about 1.5GB in videos and pictures.

flugel

Yeah storing music would be my concern, don't know what network / plan I will be going for so not sure how viable music streaming will be for me.

Uploading photo's to cloud storage I'd have less of an issue with.

Think I'll wait to see the phones in person, if I feel the X ain't overly big might go with it

digiman

Bought one of these today, still waiting on my number to move to the microsim. Haven't done much with it yet but not hugely overwhelmed by it. Coming from an SGS2 so I guess it's hard for it to be much a huge upgrade really. The screen is pretty impressive though and overall the phone feels quite big. Have the white phone and it is a cool looking phone, pretty sleek in your hand. The beats audio sounds pretty good through the normal earphones that come with it, quite a bit more base added. Will try them out with my Bose QC3 on way to work later and see what its like. I wouldn't be shocked if I sell it later though when the SGS3 is announced!!!

Where did you get it digiman?

digiman

I'm in Sydney, probably should update my profile!

vibe666

personally, i wouldn't go through the long contract thing again, it's too expensive.

it did my sums and it would be hundreds of euros cheaper to buy it sim free and just get a cheap sim only contract.

i got a DesireHD for myself and a Desire for my wife about 14 months ago for €200 for the pair, plus two €50 per month 18 month contracts with meteor, having gone from an average monthly bill with o2 previously of €150, so we were saving from the outset wich made it look like a great deal at the time.

the thing is, i don't use 400 texts, 400 minutes & 2gb of data per month and neither does my wife (usually less than half that for us both).

that would put us squarely in the €15 per month sim only deal (200 texts, 200 mins, 1gb data) meteor are doing that was posted in bargain alerts.

the results are, that (assuming the oneX and oneS are similarly priced to the desireHD and desire when they were new), if i got the same deal with meteor, which took about 2 hours of haggling at the time, i'm going to be about €350 quid worse off paying for the phones over an 18 month contract, than if i'd just bought them sim free at the time.
