HTC One [Megathread]

I'd love one of these

That's the problem with smartphones though, every few months there is a new 'best and greatest'. I'm still happy enough with my Galaxy Nexus though, but I do want this as well. I'm sure I'll live and get some beast in about 12-18 months anyhow.

I got the One X on an upgrade in Vodafone Grafton Street this morning

The phone is quite light and the screen is excellent

The phone came with a seperate pair of Beats earphones as well as the standard HTC earphones in the box

I tried to buy the phone in CPW but they aren't selling it yet. In Henry St, I was told that it must be a Vodafone exclusive and that they wouldn't be getting it in. In North Earl St and Grafton St, I was told that it was on the system, but there was no stock and the price wasn't yet on the system.

I'll post again later when I get a chance to play with the phone for a while

Got a confirmation mail from Three about an hour ago to say mine had been dispatched, and I'd imagine that the courier companies are working tomorrow alright, so should have it tomorrow. Failing that, it's a long wait till Tuesday!!! :eek:

EMobile bill pay is probably the best way to buy this phone. On price, it beats sim free and prepay.

A HTC One X for €269 + 12 months Select 100 @ 19.41. Hell, you could even throw away the sim card and it'd still be fantastic value for money.

Hey Guys,

For those that ordered from 3, did you have to send in ID & proof of address? How long did it take them to get back to you after that?

Placed my order earlier & waiting very impatiently

Thanks

Was switching from one 3 contract to another so didn't have to jump through those hoops, hope you're not left waiting too long! Hate the wait when you know something is coming, but dunno when!

Bought one online at lunchtime when I saw they were saying it would be delivered tomorrow! Let's hope it wasn't BS

Was going to hold off for sim-free to come down in price but I'm already on Three so 519 will do.

Edit:

Will report back on whether it's carrier branded/locked tomorrow unless someone beats me to the punch.

Got my One X today - its charging so havnt had a chance to play with it yet, looks & feels great not so much bigger than my DHD.
My DHD is rooted - what's the best way of transferring my apps to the new phone without rooting the new phone? Contacts are uploaded to Gmail - that's the easy bit...

had myself persuaded its time to update my desire to the one X but i suspect its going to be too big in hand so might just settle for the one s instead. better for my pocket and surely the s is still a huge jump in performance from my desire?

The HTC One S has a great processor( did better than the X in benchmarks.) So don't worry about that aspect of it.

If you simply go to 'My apps' within Google Play, you should be able to download any/all of your apps

The Classic Flex Max plan, €40.66 per month (I'm paying €30 odd a month for the same plan sim-free at the minute, so €10 extra), 24 month contract, phone is free...

Oh no I wish I hadn't read that
Must resist

Yes, I think the dual core lte chip on the same was compared to the tegra3 and outperformed it mainly due to the 28nm chip and the fact that the screen isn't actually 720p so is less demanding on graphics power. Links are about somewhere.

Can anyone shed any light on when the One S is expected on Meteor?

On O2 at the moment and temted by their 20 euro a month deal (currently paying 35)

Edit: Just heard back, no word on a Release for One S for Meteor yet

Have had a few issues with the display when using the camera and sometimes in the notification bar. Not really show stoppers but irritating all the same. Also it looks like a software issue more than an actual screen issue.

I've attached (hopefully) a couple of pictures to show what I'm talking about

you searched online for any similar issues? i'd be informing the shop of that issue with a view of potential return if it doesn't improve

I was going to get the ONE s yesterday and popped along to my local o2 store (UK). The s is certainly incredibly thin, light and feels wonderful in the hand, there are two major flaws, the screen and Sense 4.0. The screen is nothing like the iPhone 4s or Nexus devices. I was worried that the SGN would be too large, but having a quick play, it wasn't and I really like stock ICS, which is buttery smooth and has the "cool" CRT transition.

Coming from an iPhone, it was actually rather painless, my iCloud email and calendars are all on the phone, no problem. My previous apps all installed quickly from the market. So far the battery life seems on par with the 4s. All of that said, the Nexus is still considerably more expensive than the ONE s, but the screen and stock experience is worth it, for me.

As an aside, the white ONE X looks acceptable, the grey looks awful, to my eyes. It's a really hard, nasty, shiny grey. It reminded me of the grocery tills in Dunnes after 10 years wear.

Maybe that was just a display model thing? I've just got the One X in grey/charcoal and it's a very very matt finish, no shine off it whatsoever, and a nice tactile feel to it.

If anyone ordered their one-x on three yesterday and it showed delivery for today, please update the thread when you receive it, so the rest of us will know whether we are waiting in vain or not..lol
