I ended up getting it on meteor so it was unlocked. One little issue though, I let it charge and performed the available update about half an hour ago and it still has the green update icon in the middle of the screen, does it take this long?

Guys, is the One X currently one of the best smartphones on the market? I'm still using the original Desire but wouldn't mind upgrading.

Where's the best place to buy sim free?

One X or the Galaxy S3 are the 2 flagships (One S is a bit of a beast too)
Youre gonna be looking at 550-600 everywhere SIM free. Havent seen any cheaper really (that I can remember anyway)

I think the One S is a wonderful phone even so far as to say it's probably better then the One X for most users unless you really want the extra screen real estate

Yeah the S3 looks fairly good it must be said.

Hard to justify 600 quid on a phone though, and I don't want to tie myself in to any contracts.

Unplug the charger, It won't finish the update with the charger in, as it tries skipping to USB host/master. Should say it at the beginning of update

Check adverts.ie
I picked up a brand new one x with beats headphones for 400.

Hold ur horses lad
AT&T Dropping Price of HTC One X in the States was $199.99 on a two-year contract, now $99.99,

With the reduced price, the HTC One X will cost half as much (though not at the end of the contract) as the popular Galaxy S III, potentially making it a more attractive option for some buyers.

This is due to a fall off in sales because of increased Galaxy S3 popularity

I wouldn't pay much attention to the subsidised price that AT&T are offering tbh.

They're sim free in 'Fonez' in Corbet court in Galway for €500. Best I've seen so far.

Will any of the hdmi adaptors work to watch tv

hdowney · 30-07-2012 08:56AM

I got a screen protector for the one V today, and it has a little cut-out bit on it. But I canni work out where said cut out is supposed to go?

dave13 · 30-07-2012 01:00PM

at the top of the screen. there's a tiny sensor there for detecting when its held to your ear

I can't see any sensor, is it on the right or left side!!!!

ooPabsoo · 30-07-2012 01:28PM

Just got paid, so tempted to get one of these!....€519 from three. Never spent so much money on a phone before!....Is it really worth it?

To the left of the 'HTC'. If you look closely you can see a tiny hole behind the glass

I actually can't see anything :P but I shall put it on that way round so thanks

What are the odds of us getting this update?

Getting pretty bloody sick of that damn black bar....

Karen23 · 02-08-2012 11:40PM

I have a wildfire S and I love it but the 150mb internal storage is just pathetic , I've deleted everything I can except one app which I need. At the moment I have 3.98mb available internal space with system update available that I can't download.

Which of the HTC One phones would be best to upgrade to , I've been looking at the specs for the One V which shows 4gb internal storage but after reading forums I noticed people saying its advertised as 4gb memory but actually only 100mb is available.

If I cant find a HTC with better storage I'll have to look at another brand which is shame cos I like it.

Mr E · 03-08-2012 06:35AM

My One X says it has 2.11GB internal storage. I have 36 apps installed and 1.48GB free.

Phone storage is 25.24GB, with 20GB free.

It depends on what you want to use the storage for. The One X has no SD card slot, but I don't miss it to be honest.

Julius Seizure · 03-08-2012 10:48AM

Also, remember, app2sd is now native since froyo. If anything is too big just throw it to the 25 GB. You can't use it when you mount the USB (there's UMS for you) but it's a small payoff. You really wouldn't worry about space.

i think the mic is on top of the phone beside the headphone connector. the sensor in question is to the left of the HTC Symbol. if you hold it in the right light you can see it through the glass

Anyone one else having issues streaming YouTube videos, specifically music videos they always play choppy and skip even if on Wifi and the video is fully loaded, it's like the phone is running out of memory when trying to play and skips.

I had the latest you tube app so uninstalled all updates and retried, same problem.

Your interest is easily peaked, the article says a whole lot of nothing.

A Sense update that improves general performance and reduces lag. I don't see how it isn't interesting, especially for someone like myself who doesn't root.
