[POLL] Have you pre-ordered?

Just a general thread, have you pre-ordered the One X yet? Vote in the Poll

Amazon rules! (white color)

Really considering this, my first Android was the DHD and loved it. Been on the SGS2 since launch but this One X something about it that is making me want it.

I would go for it (well, obviously I would say that as I have pre-ordered it!)
However, the only issue for me has been battery life but with mobile chargers I decided that wouldn't be an issue. If you are not fussed about getting it on release, you could simply wait for the S3 announcement and decide between the two - although the One X camera will be hard to beat imo - the features anyway.

I've "registered my interest" with Vodafone. They're going to call me when it's available. Hopefully I'm one of the 1st in the queue.

not due for an upgrade until mid May, so I'm going to hold out to see if any major issues appear before I either upgrade or jump ship to another provider.
about 98% sure I will be getting one though

I think the options of the poll don't cover everything, my selection would be:
No, but considering to pre-order very soon...
I'm not 100% sure what is stopping me... I'd like to see an official announcement about beats, I'd be interested to know if the deluxe set would be released in UK, I'd like to know for sure what the final price would be (I'm going to be purchasing phone sim free).
I'm also changing companies in 5 months time and maybe they have different policies on phones so maybe I should wait... but then I could always sell it...
Also when I bought my HTC Desire maybe 6 months later they announced the Desire HD, so part of me also wonders if a new flagship will be released in 6 months time and maybe I should wait as I'm not in desperate need of a new phone... but on the other hand I cant think of anything that I need that isn't on the HTC One X and if I did buy it then I plan on it being my phone for the next 2 years.
The HTC One X looks good, I would really like to get back to Android sooner or later (WP7 is not for me...), I really want a HTC phone so GS3 is not an option for me.
So I'm more than likely going to pre-order I just haven't hit the submit button yet...

Firstly, apologies I didn't think of the million different potential options.
Also, if you wait for the "next best thing" all the time, you will NEVER get a new phone?

I use clove.uk. Handtec is good as well although they take your money upfront and lie about when it will be released. There is no tax. Clove.uk will send DHL for a minimal rate. Prices are very similar. There are other options as well.

I purchased from eBay on a pre-order auction from a reputable seller. The reason I did this is because I had a 10 percent off coupon for the electronics category. I ended up getting a black one out the door for 656 including shipping.

Suddenly I am interested in the S3, if the March 30th event is to be believed..
Still got my One X on pre-order - would anyone cancel and swap to the S3 if it is good enough?

Yes, the grey version!
I find it hard to wait for 2 weeks. Im looking forward
till the first real reviews!

Yeah!
i pre-ordered it on CLOVE TECHNOLOGY in UK (grey version) and is more cheapest than other sites

In Netherlands the price is already as low as € 545 excluding shipping. I wonder what price does after the release? I really want it. I think even though high price it must be worth. Ofcourse when waiting the price will go down, but keeping mine evo 3d until the price is dropped by like maybe € 100 then mine Evo 3D would be dropped in price even more.

Meh... I prefer HTC, but it isn't that simple. The GS2 produced arguably one of the best dev communities ever. That phone was spec'd out like a beast too. While I don't believe it was/is the end all be all, it deserves a lot of the attention it gets. Samsung put a lot of good hardware in, and they also ship their phones with unlocked bootloaders. Unlike HTC that is becoming less and less dev friendly...

htc cutting their smartphones prices????!!!

wtf is that right htc cutting their phone prices because off the losses? i just bought the one x 2 monthes ago for about 600$ in asia! really stunned !

No idea if this is true but it makes sense, they are competing with alot of new phones at the moment (and coming up, like the iPhone 5) and yes bad economical times too for HTC, to keep up with the competition > lower prices.

Ya ..One X will be down to half n so does One S n One V will be given away for free with every Beats Headphones u buy..

well do you know what i am going to do i am going to sell it out now when it's still got it's high price and get the s3! what i should have done in the first place still hate that amoled and touchwiz but still it's better phone! thx for your replies evreyone i am not saying that the hox is a bad phone but....!

If you read the source story the liklihood of it being true are slim. Since when does a site called "mydrivers" suddenly become credible? The bad press and rumor mongering are going to hurt HTC more than anything they do at their own hand.
http://translate.google.com/transla...://news.mydrivers.com/1/238/238621.htm#ystfuv

Even of it's true so what? You already bought the phone and I don't know about you but I think I am gonna use the phone for a while and judging by how android phones have been sooner or later the price is gonna go down anyway because there will be newer phones with better specs sold for the same price we bought our phones awhile ago.
Sometimes I don't get the way you kids think SMH :what:

You hate the screen which takes 90% of the phone, hate touchwiz, which defines the way you interact with the phone but still think S3 is better... that makes sense. Or at least explains why you trust that source.
Let's get real. If there are some price cuts they will be for the Chinese version (HTC did say they will bet on the Asian market) which means locked bootloaders, internet limited to the Chinese version and all the other goodies the Chinese will make HTC include in the phone. Thanks, but no thanks!

They can sell them for what they want. It's an electronic gadget, they always always drop in price over time. Who in their right mind would be a) surprised & b) angry over this?

I don't understand why anyone would expect them not to cut the price. When I got my hTC Desire, it had to be on a £36+/month contract to be free. Just 6 months later, it was on £20 contracts and the One X is going that way. All phones do, they're never 'current' for very long, it's just something you have to accept when buying electronics these days. Next year, all the midrange phones will have quad core CPUs and HD screens, the the year after, a £99 network operator-rebranded ZTE will. It's a _good_ thing. Don't complain about being an early adopter, it's your choice to make.
Ask yourself this: While you may be able to purchase the phone, or an equivalent phone for less money now, surely you couldn't at the time you bought it? Are you not happy you've been able to use it until now?

when it was first launched, in UAE it was like DHS 2750 and after a month its DHS 2500 and stayed like that for 3 more months, now its around DHS 2300-2400. Thats normal for every phone i've got and even the s3 is around the same price now as well.

LG G3 worth?

I'm about to buy an LG G3 for 350 euros. (16 Gb, black)
I don't want to buy another mobile phone within at least 2-3 years as I'm starting high studies and I won't have much to spend then, but I really need a mobile that can handle everything and can last a lot.
Do you think it's worth it or is there another mobile coming soon that's better? Is it going to be supported by the community for a long time?

One can always wait for the next great product.
If you like the features then get the phone. It has gotten good reviews and has a good reputation here.

Go for it. This phone should last you the amount of time you want it to without it feeling outdated by the 1 year mark. Hard to say what will be our in 3 years but I plan to keep mine for to better part of 3 years.

I'd wait and see if there's gonna be a new nexus phone with L or go for the N5. This phone lags sometimes, has pretty low development activity (yeah, I know the reason, no complaint but a fact). After my nexus 4, I should've gone with the N5. The G3 is an okay phone in my opinion and looks sexy but the wow factor is missing for me...

The phone is great ..... but its really what you want your phone for and whether it fits those particular needs, I'm afraid there is no absolute answer, its about your needs and whether this phone fits them or another is more suitable.
I would advise research and checking it out and the competition, sorry no easy answers.

I'll try to tell you my history, from a person that doesn't change their phone every 3 months, or.. in a better way, a xda-user exception.
Got the Gnexus almost on the end of its lifespan (4 months before Nexus 4 release). It lasted 2 years when I gladly changed it to LG G3.
I saw a lot of reviews to after choose LG G3. What you will see outside is questions about the battery life due to the "unnecessary" QuadHD display.
Having a Gnex for 2 years is undoubtedly a nice school for battery life and screen on time use...
I really don't care about that after having that phone for 2 years.. and in every aspect besides battery life, LG G3 wins (for me).
So, tl:dr, buy it without doubt, grab a spare battery if you care so much. The design and the display of LG G3 destroy every other phone released till today.

Well, yeah, if you can't wait, go into a shop and try it, play around with it and decide how it feels for you. At end it's gonna be u using it I'm not happy with it but I'm okay with it personally. Only reason I got it is that I broke my nexus 4 and got a good deal on it from my SP. Otherwise I was thinking about ordering a nexus 5. Had it in my hand, used it before, I just simply love nexus phones for aosp android, quick updates knowing Google is behind it and if they screw something up in the software they will be quick to release a fix while manufacturers won't be, and to be honest they make shifty UI except Sony imo but I had 2 Xperia phones, both were flagship devices and both sucked.
But as said before, it's your own personal preference. Try it in a shop and you'll see it for yourself. It looks really sexy with the huge display with the tiny bezels and reminds me of the nexus 5 a bit as well. Though I miss my aosp android experience and the quick updates. I however appreciate for instance the IR control and the camera.

The Note 3 was announced early last September and released at the end. Samsung staff have been told there's going to be no annual leave around the middle of Septemeber, the correlates to what happens around their releases. There's no way they'd wait over a month from when they announce to being on sale.
The G3 struggles with the 801 powering it. Check out the videos of a comparison of the G3 805 Vs G3 801. Check out the articles on Samsung's new QHD screen technology also,it uses less power. There may be other better phones out later this year or next but it would be mad to buy an 801 QHD phone when the other major companies are about to release their 805 versions.

Just out of interest, would that be a grey import? The cheapest I can find in UK which is probably imported from EU is £390 which is about 480 Euros. Or is it second hand? Makes more sense if it is the latter.

Why you need a smartphone ??!!
For all your needs HTC One M8 can get the job done well.
buy it now and you will never feel sorry.
I tried so many smartphones LG G3, Galaxy S5 & iPhone 6 for some time but at the end I decide to get the M8, and for me it is the best smartphone I ever used.

Same here tried a hell of a lot of devices they all suck except the m8 best ever !

I am coming from nexus 5, g2, and s5 to HTC m8. I kinda regret waiting so long switching to m8. It's definitely one of the best smartphone I ever had. Build quality is top notch with amazing speakers. Battery life is really good and I really like sense features. Camera is decent but that's not the main reason why I bought it. I usually take pictures with my dslr.

i previously had xperia z2, then galaxy s5 and now HTC m8. and there is no doubt M8 is best among them. and i think it is still worth to buy one. amazing speed, good camera, beautiful finishing.

I've also tried all the top of the line phones and switched to new phones monthly, and than I got a m8 and the switching stopped.

Whether the phone is "worth it" to you, isn't a question other people can answer for you. It depends on what you have now, what you need the phone for, how much the money means to you, etc.
Its a great phone, and I can honestly say its probably still the best phone you can get at this time. Meaning, if I lost or broke my M8 and had to buy another phone for full price; I'd most likely just buy another M8.
On the other hand, if you have a decent phone now, there is likely going to be an impressive new HTC flagship coming in April. So you may want to wait. On the other hand, some folks switch phones like I change my underwear. So it really depends on you.

Many of these questions are already answered, if you just look through the forum sections.

HTC could have done better with the price and availability

The phone itself is looking to be the best flagship of the year so far, but HTC should have taken a page from Apple's page book and made it available sooner. I say this because many buyers want immediate satisfaction. Not shipping until early May is a mistake. The next flagship coming down the line will be the Galaxy Note 6 which is supposed to release as early as July. You can bet there will numerous leaks about the Note 6 between now and the time the HTC starts shipping. This will make many decide to wait and see what the Note 6 has to offer.
The price of $699 is too high unless HTC throws in some value in the way of package deals like LG has done with the G5 and Samsung has done with the G7.

The price is in line with other flagships. Although they're nice, I don't need extras.

The nice thing about the freebies from the other carriers is they have some resale value if you don't want them. It lowers the price overall for just the phone.

wouldnt say its the best of the year it looks horrible and that finger print scanner looks weird not even central if you have ocd you pretty ****ed lol and dont get me wrong not here bashing it because i have a samsung s7 edge now as my last 3 htcs have been m7 m8 and m9 so i am a bit of a htc fan boy just i think it doesnt have the premium looks of its predecessors and sadly will be giving it a miss this year

They are including high-res earphones and a QC 3.0 charger, I think they have a pretty well priced package imo.

I think the package and price are fine. Don't forget you're getting free accident insurance with it too - and that the bootloader is unlockable thru HTCdev.
Both the HTC and Exynos S7s have some tradeoffs to make on US carriers (such as LTE band 30 support missing on the 930/935F), so it's a matter of figuring out what works best for you.

I too have the S7E, and the 10 will have a hard time beating out the Edge IMO. I've been keeping my eye on the 10, but once they replaced front facing speakers with fingerprint scanner...I was like I already own a Galaxy phone since both the A9 & 10 resemble it from the front. If they had kept front facing speakers and put scanner on the back, I would've considered returning my S7E

Front facing scanner is the right way to do it. I don't want to lift the phone from my desk if I want to quickly peek. I am so glad they went this way.
And I am fine with dual speaker setup on HTC 10. Its not the best way for stereo sound but it works way better than mono on the S7 and G5.
Unlocked bootloader is the reason I will buy this phone though!! Bravo HTC! This time its officially supported. No voiding the warranty!
Looking like the best of all so far. S7 and G5 -> can't unlock bootloader -> No sale.

If you signed up for HTC's "exclusive for HTC owners" prior to the unveiling, they promised to send a special incentive.
The email just showed up and it was for $100 off a pre-order thru HTC.
It just keeps getting better.

Thanks, I was wondering when we were going to get that email. Thought maybe they forgot

The price for the unlocked version in Canada is 999$ + 10$ shipping = 1009$
Well its to expensive, lets buy a carrier branded version with a 2 years agreement... What? Bell mobility is the exclusive carrier? With a 85$/month plan? LOL
Well I guess I'll have to wait a few months before buying.

I think the price is on point with other flagships.
1) Bootloader unlocking with out voiding warranty.
2) UH OH Protection (purchased through HTC.com).
3) Quick charger and high end ear buds.
Also there WILL be discounts here and there (i.e. the current $100 off with email coupon).

Did this work? Link please

Apparently I can share it via email. PM me your email and I'll send it.
The only thing I'm not sure about is if it's a unique promo code or not, which is why I haven't shared it publicly. If it ends up being the same, I'll gladly share it out.
NM - just saw it on Android Central and it's not unique, so here it is.

WTF!!! I F'ING LOVE YOU!!!
I haven't even posted here in a long time, maybe years and I just logged in right now to tell you how awesome you are! I was in the checkout page with an $817 bill decided to fish around for some coupons and luckily stumbled back here and ended up paying $707. Big difference IMO.
THANKS AGAIN!!!

You're welcome! Glad it worked out for you!
Very big difference indeed. Did you get some accessories with it to get the price up there?

Yeah I got that ice case. Funny when I looked this morning the $100 deal wasn't posted on the tech blogs yet and after I saw your post I saw it on all of the blogs haha. Sucks for those that were drooling and pulled the trigger immediately!
Again no freebies but what comes in the box is better than the others so I guess it was a good deal. Thanks again!

If you put the phone in your cart and go thru the point where you have to log in with your email and then abandon your cart, I'm pretty sure they will email you a "free shipping" offer within 24 hours as well.
Of course, if you're the type that is most concerned about being at the front of the line, you might not care

$699 out the gate is steep, but it's inline with Apple and Samsung. This phone will probably be $500 by September.
