I would talk you off that ledge but I've already jumped myself.
What was the selling point for you , screen is better on X that's about it
S3 has more RAM
larger screen
much longer battery life(allegedly)
Faster phone
Camera's a wash from the video review I saw (pics better on X, vids better on S3)
The S3 does look like a stupid pebble/Rock though at the end of the day

- S3 Screen is trivially larger. Most people can't tell the difference.
- Camera is not a wash. Not by any stretch of the imagination. HOX wins hands down.
- S3 can be had with 64gig memory, but not if you get it from AT&T. It wins the storage battle ONLY because of microsd support.
- MUCH longer battery life is absolutely NOT TRUE, at least given equal tests in equal areas with the same carrier. Comparing quad core versions of both phones, HOX wins.
- The S3 is NOT faster.
I'm seriously considering it. The multitasking issue (and HTC's "non-giving-a-crap" attitude) has left a bad taste in my mouth. I know I can flash roms and stuff, but I honestly hate having to tweak products for basic things to work. After the USA version of the s3 comes out and the reviews pour in, I'll make my decision. I honestly don't care about the amoled vs. LCD thingy. My eyes suck anyways

"the multitasking issue" i see this thrown around a lot in the one x forums but honestly i haven't had any issues multitasking... there's even a button for multitasking called the recent apps button. idk maybe i'm just not understanding the real issue.
Well, consider yourself lucky if you have never experienced it.
Try this:
1. Launch the stock notes app, compose a random note.
2. Tap the home button (or recent apps button), launch the camera app, take a few pictures.
3. Launch the email app, view an email.
(Optional: also go view a webpage in the browser app)
4. Switch back to the notes app.
What happens? Is it where you left off?

HOX camera is okay, but i would not say it is better then the SG3, both are 8mp, it's hard to tell any difference.
The screen is bigger on the SG3, shhh don't tell any one who is getting a IP5 that a few CM is not that big a deal(LOL) Seriously though it is bigger
The SD support is HUGE for SG3, phone has more storage hands down. The difference will be felt every month in streaming data that cannot be store locally on the phone.
As far as battery goes, my HOX cannot make it from 8am to 11PM w/o needing a charge. SG3 is ?? for now, but it does have option to change battery, effectively giving you another 12+ hrs.
I'm not saying the HOX is bad by any means, but it is lacking in a few areas. Enough for me to want to get the SG3.
