Against my better judgement, I got a One X off ebay to see how I liked it and new Sense. I've played with it in AT&T stores here and there, but never enough time to see how I actually liked it. In retrospect, it was a horrible idea. Not because I have Verizon, (hey, I'm a phone geek, I like to try out phones even if they're not on my network) but because it made me realize how much I prefer the One X over the S3 I have now. Everything about it, from the screen, to the build, to the software, is exemplary. Seriously, the build, to me, rivals the iPhone easily. The software is MILES ahead of Touchwiz.

I am more tempted than ever to just say 'screw it' and move over to AT&T from Verizon. With the $99 price for the One X on contract, I could sell my S3 (only had it for two weeks) and STILL come out ahead despite my ETF. Damn you HTC for making such an attractive handset!

I won't upgrade my antique HTC Thunderbolt for a Samsung S3. Waiting on Htcs next better device. Only hope they make one.

I'm liking what I see with the One X. Enough to ditch my unlimited plan with Verizon. (not that I would keep it once I upgrade)

Interesting you say that. I'm currently thinking about taking my Galaxy S3 back for the HOX, based on the build quality alone. Ever since I held that thing, I can't get it out of mind.

So I'm pricing out the One X, but I'm encountering some weirdness with the Mobile Share plans. I can get a 25% discount through AT&T premier, but when I add the phone and a mobile share plan, it says that the Mobile Share plans include a 1 year service agreement. When I do the same, but choose the older plans, it says that the plans include a 2 year service agreement.

Even more weirdness: I tried doing it outside of the Premier website, and you don't even have the option of choosing the mobile share plans. I'm not sure whether I would believe that its only a one year contract, unless they're trying to entice people to sign up for the new plans.

That's the only thing giving me pause, especially if it goes to T-mobile (with their new unlimited plans) as rumored.

Supposed to be releasing? Who said. All I've seen are rumors. If you keep waiting for the next best thing (and seriously, have we not all learned how long it takes carriers in the US to launch a phone?) we'll never buy anything.

Bingo. That's why I'm considering just saying 'screw it' and jumping over.

I decided to wait a bit. The mobile landscape will be changing a bit here in the next couple of months, so I want to see how the iPhone and update HTC phones stack up.

Htc might not be releasing any more new phones this year. They decided to do a few per year. Last year they released over 22 handsets in the U.S. This year only 7 so far. Their trying to get their sales back up by creating those awsome devices.

We will see something from them. It's almost a guarantee. Could be December could be sooner. :p

I work at AT&T, use the HOX as my work phone and can't understand why people like the S3 over the HOX. The S3 looks and feels like a toy. The HOX imho is a far superior package.

Biggest issue I have is the lack of SD. Since mobile share plans would be a one year contract I still might sign up.

They're going to do updates at six month intervals, without a barrage of new models. There will definitely be something new before Christmas.
