I was lucky enough to get the One X today ahead of the May 6 launch. So far I am really enjoying the phone. My initial thoughts are as follows:
The good
High build quality, feels very good in the hand.
White gets dirty quickly but rubs off easily
Phone is super lite
Display is better then you can imagine, only phone besides IPhone 4s that I have owned that is easy to see in direct light. Display is every bit as good as IPhone 4s and it's more then an inch bigger. Sorry AMOLED fans this display is better. The glass is very thin and has some type of coating that repels finger prints.
Sense is well done so far not the over bearing sense that I didn't like before.
LTE is crazy fast
Beats audio does add to the sound quality
Camera is fast although I haven't played with it enough to see if it can go head to head with the IPhone 4s
No lag yet even with multiple apps open, phone is fast
Stock browser is nice and has nice features like being able to open all websites in desktop mode
First phone that I don't want to or feel the need to put a case on it
The bad
Task button is nice to get to open apps but I can't figure out how to kill the task
Settings button in pull down takes getting use to
The three dots on screen for menu wastes display
Camera lens with the way it protrudes out scares the crap out of me looks like it is just waiting to be scratched
If you aren't comfortable living in the cloud, space could be an issue should have shipped with 32 gb's like the international or for more money offer it in addition to the 16 gb's like IPhone.
Sense takes away some ICS features and feel.
I will provide a more detailed review after I have spent more time with the phone. However, this is the first phone that I feel beats the IPhone 4s in many areas and I can see myself using this phone as my daily driver.
To everyone that pre-ordered the phone I don't think you will be disappointed.
