Might drop in and see is the One X in for 200, might be a better bet then the One S, cheers

I assume the phone is unlockable off Vodafone via rooting and the like?

The HTC One S needs to be rooted before been unlocked.

Root
Unlock (Use method 2 or 3 down the thread)

Not easy but yes it seems it can

can the one x be unlocked easy enough?

I had several HTC phones and they were all unlocked without having to go and unlock them I thought as a rule HTC phones are never locked

So go for it!

I had the same so went to CPW and bought the X

Have ordered the S,offered it a lad in work but if anyone else is interested let me know. At Cost Obviously, sure PM me. Would rather see someone on here get it than release to the masses

Edit :Apologies if against BA rules

Have moved the HTC posts out of the Samsung Beam thread into it's own.

wilser · 08-03-2013 02:00PM

CPW sent me a used Beam when I ordered a new one.
There was a battery already in the phone and a photo taken back in August.

It was still cool to have the Beam for two weeks, but I'm much happier with the HTC One X. Even if I don't ever get those free Beats earphones that are sposed to come with it.

Which outlet?

Just gotta make sure my outlet doesn't sell them separately or something before I ask for them.

jenno86 · 08-03-2013 02:19PM

Any luck in Galway?

Just got it in the shop on Grafton Street. One x

donnacha · 08-03-2013 02:39PM

Go into your local carphone warehouse and they can check stock for you. Went out to Liffey Valley at lunch and they had none - confirmed none in Carrickmines but 3 x's in Dundrum so I drove out there like a lunatic

Unfortunately the 3 in Dundrum don't have the beats headphones (this was a special promo that had been running so not all the stock left have the beats headphones attached).

After all of that I decided to pass on purchasing the x as I think the wife would prefer the slightly smaller s version so there are still 3 out in Dundrum if ur quick.

Can anyone who already has picked up an x confirm if its locked to vodafone?

loki7777 · 08-03-2013 02:44PM

What is the model of those beats - in ear or overhead?

Mine [without Beats] is locked to Vodafone.
Also, the three left in Dundrum have been reserved by people so they're unavailable.
I'd recommend people to phone [<< verb] shops in advance to check stock and reserve them.

These are the earphones.

mtdelany · 08-03-2013 02:52PM

is it only the 'X that has the earphones or is there any chance the 'S might come with?

uck51js9zml2yt · 08-03-2013 02:52PM

none is liffey valley at lunchtime. didnt know anything about the headphones.

Caliden · 08-03-2013 02:54PM

The One X is coming up as 199 online (400 euro discount) and I'm at the checkout.

Is this a joke or one of those "we messed up, you can't have it for that price" occurances?

It's neither. Buy it.

When CPW outlets have a few phones left of a model that's being discontinued and isn't selling, they do a recall and the outlets send the phones back to HQ/"the warehouse" and they're sold online. That's where the new stock on the website has come from.

There's no mention of Beats on the website though, so you could get it with or without them. Still worth it either way though.

Others have got it for that price AFAIK..

.. so yep, it's a go-er!

Would pick it up if I didn't already have a Beam waiting at home waiting to be unlocked.

Solution: Download a photo to your Beam, dated August 2012 :pac:

Caliden · 08-03-2013 03:18PM

Just got off phone will a chap in Citywest, none left there.

Said there were 2 left in Blackrock and 3 in Dundrum. Didn't ask about the rest of the country. Would've been a panic buy for me and can't really afford it right now so closed out the online purchase. Ah well!

uck51js9zml2yt · 08-03-2013 03:21PM

I jsut got a ONE X online.

I'll have a ONE S spare if anyone wants it.
I'm going to cancel it over the weekend.
