Can this rival the iPhone?

You can always buy the unlocked international version if you don't like the changes AT&T had them make.

You bet. If I go with HTC I will do this for sure. Have to wait until I see what Samsung has in store for us though.

But that's the thing. You then need to choose between a phone that is optimized for the network you are on as well as having access to LTE (which is insanely fast on AT&T) and a phone with decent storage space. When you can't have both on a phone that is already limited in other ways (no EXPANDABLE storage and a non-replaceable battery), you start to ask yourself... why f**king bother? This phone is too much of a hassle....

I think Android phones have surpassed the iPhone since back when the HTC EVO 4G came out. I'm personally not getting the HTC One X because it has a non-removable battery and no microSD slot. It might as well be a large iPhone as far as i'm concerned.

Yeah, but with the iPhone, you can get as much memory as you need. The battery is so good, you don't need to replace it half way through the day.

Now, if the One X had that going for it, I'd be all over it.

I originally meant: can this phone become as popular as the iPhone, along with accessories and other support. Look at Speck for example, over 50 cases for the iPhone and most popular high end Android phones don't have any case offerings.

A small annoyance with me is that no Android device works with my car stereo and my iPhone works fine. The USB cord plugs right in and streams music perfectly. So why can't it have support with Android? That's the kind of level I want Android to reach, along with the HTC One X.

But unfortunately I know it won't. The lack of a micro sd slot and low internal storage will be a deal breaker for many.

Your comparing a brand new phone to a six month old phone...

The iphone4s didn't even match up to the SGS2, which was released 6 months before the 4s.

There is nothing wrong with the battery on the HOX, over 6hrs video playback or over 9hrs constant music streaming via 3g/hspa (no WiFi) - how long do you need it to last before charging? lol

.... I easily make it through a day on my HOX.

If battery is your main concern, the razr maxx beats the iPhone hands down.

Well yea but its funny because every reviewer seems to be comparing all these new phones to that old 6 month iPhone.

People are still buying the 3GS and 4. Why? Because their iPhones. NO one would ever buy a droid over a year old.

iPhone 4S - 64GB storage

One X - 10GB storage

To some people, that's a instant win for the iPhone and a non-starter for the One X.

Doesn't matter... with 64GB SDHC and up to 256GB SDXC (these are micro cards, keep in mind, with 2TB coming around the corner). So the iPhone (no expanded storage) has no competition.

iPhone 4S: 64GB storage

HTC One X\S: 10GB usable storage

"Every vantage point" huh?

$199 instead of $399, much cheaper on contract.

Your logic still fails.

And where exactly is the expandable SD card slot on the One X to support that? That's right. Neither the iPhone nor the OneX have expandable storage so... what was your point here?

I'd gladly pay $400 for a OneX with 64GB. That's the point. Apple gives you the option to do so because they know that's what people want. Want a One X? No choice but to have 10GB usable storage.

I thought th HTC One X had 32g storeage?

People are still buying the GS2 over a year after it was released.

International Tegra 3 version has 32gb

U.S version has 16gb.

I'm glad I'm in a country where I can actually upgrade in a week's time to the International One X.

How about HTC put a freakin' SD slot in there? How much extra would that cost? That's all we're asking.

Erm, maybe because they don't want to, neither do google.

SD card slots actually slow the phone down.

HTC are offering cloud storage as an alternative, which doesn't slow the phone down, if it bothers you this much - don't get the phone.

SD card storage does slow the phone down compared to flash memory inside the phone, but cloud storage is completely based on network connection. The write and read speeds of a micro SD are around 6 to 20 Mbs and It stays consistent. Therefore with strong Lte or wifi cloud storge can be faster but on 3g networks it will be slower and in really bad signal locations it is useless. Not to mention data limited plans

This is a forum to discuss the phone, not sit around and circle jerk about how much we love it. If you look around, there are plenty of people complaining about the lack of storage. Cloud storage is hardly an alternative, especially when AT&T doesn't have unlimited data plans. There are plenty of people (like me) who would gladly accept an SD card slot. If it slows the phone down, you wouldn't need to use it. But having the option is the sort of thing you'd expect in 2012.

Weren't there like 8 pages in this thread? Same thing in other threads, noticing the page count is smaller.
