Better screen > slightly better benchmarks.

Also the One X has to push twice as many pixels, so in any Benchmark that uses fps as a metric you would expect to see it slower than the One S.

Yes but for a mid range phone with a great screen it kicks ass :cool:

Saw non working models of both. X is too big, for my small fingers anyways. Touching the left part of screen up near top impossible for me with one hand. Then again what do you you do with only one hand bar make a phone call I suppose.

Think the S would have been a real beauty if it didn't have the 3 buttons on bottom, get rid of them, shrink phone by that much and I'd have bought one there and then!

Aye its a sweet phone if the One X is too big for your tastes.

I have a chance to get the one s tomorrow as a new customer with o2 and they will take the sensation as a trade so phone will cost nothing and 18mth plan with a 1gb add on about 42 euro.Should i wait for the one x which vodafone have offered me on upgrade for 299!

Doesn't sound like they're doing you any favours there. Surely with selling the sensation privately, coupled with the 299 you'd be willing to pay, you'd be close to cost of an unlocked x - in a month or so when the price drops - and avoid having to sign a contract.

Did O2 say when they would have the one x?

If I upgrade, it'd be the X. Personally speaking, the screen on the S looks kinda disappointing.

My vodafone one x arrived this morning. Very impressed with the screen.

the phone itself is not a whole lot bigger than my sensation.

Nice, am Jealous, any chance you could give us a battery report in a few days time after some real world usage?
Online reviews are one thing but it's better to get a report from someone who uses the phone in the real world :cool:

Thanks in advance

Will do. The battery is the only real reservation I had about ordering it, here's hoping it exceeds my expectations.

This must be one of the worst product launches of all time.
According to HTC Ireland on facebook, the One X is being launched in store today, yet I have rang vodafone and three store in my nearest town only to be told that they do not have them in stock. Three even told me that it would probably be next Wednesday before they have them.

It's on sale on the Three website, and I ordered one over the phone.
Is ordering online/over the phone an option for you? I think they often have stock on the websites before the shops.

Vodafone in the Blanchardstown Center had the one X last night. O2 shop has the one S from today, quoted two weeks for the one x, CPW never heard of it!

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...

Do Three still allow tethering from their phones does anyone know?

Not so far as I'm aware:

if you joined on Billpay before January, you'll be allowed to tether using 'All You Can Eat' data.
