I got the One X. This is exciting, but not as exciting as the HTC Phablet, rumored with a 440ppi display.

Wouldn't this help HTC buy releasing it on all carriers? I've read where people like,e the one X better than the S3. Now with a teg 3 that can also allow LTE, this would be a great phone for Verizon. Or the rumored 5in is a Verizon exclusive
The problem is COST.
It costs a lot to develop yet another version of the phone to support CDMA and the only carriers you can sell that on is VZW in the US. (Not even going to mention the vanishingly small customer base on Sprint.). The sooner VZW drops CDMA the better. The sooner people who want cutting edge phones LEAVE VZW the better.
LTE is GSM. And the chipset they used has LTE and GSM and HSPA radios embedded.
Such a phone can be sold everywhere. Except VZW.
The world is a far bigger place than just the US, and its no accident this phone is coming out first in Europe.
That Euro version will work perfectly on AT&T for HSPA+, (and probably LTE as well).
But LTE really doesn't matter much if you have HSPA+ virtually everywhere.

It looks exactly like an HTC One X.
But hey, nice troll attempt.

There are currently no plans to make an international unlocked version of the LTE One X+. Don't ask me why, nobody seems to have an answer (current running theory is the bands they use for LTE overseas require a completely different chip).
Wanted to buy my wife the HTC One X she would have loved the phone, but tmobile didn't carry it. So I went with an S3. It's a shame HTC appears to be making the same mistake here and only offer it on AT&T.

Ok. HTC doesn't choose which carriers get what phones. They make a phone, show it to the carriers, and then the carriers decide if they want to buy it. Carriers are the phone makers customers. Not us. And not the other way around.
Your logic is flawed, it's much cheaper to make one phone footprint and very the radio chip than it is to carry the entire phone, which it's what HTC does for every carrier. Chances are the real reason is that the carriers don't want the same model that other carries have.
Everything costs money, the question is can they make more money than the cost. HTC has a better chance of making money off off one phone write different radio chips than a different model for every carrier. Samsung and Apple are proof of this.

Well damn. I would love to be on a GSM network. But i use to much data.. I may just keep my verizon line and get a prepaid and just tether to my At&t
As much as I want to, I probably may not. If I get it, something better's going to rear its head and make me feel like a dunce.
I'm probably just going to focus on getting an N7

Now that cpu is impressive!
The design looks better as well.
It should go to all 4 carriers
Hopefully they smartened up and made the battery removable and have it SOME KIND of new features to compete with Samsung.
It's basically an upgraded EVO LTE.
What they should have put out the first time...

I was worried about this when I bought my one x. I came from a long history of blackberry and had the vivid prior to the one x. I too thought it was a big gamble not having a removable battery. But I have never thought about it since and its never been an issue for me. Just my 2 cents. Don't let a small feature ruin the rest of a great device.

A few thoughts... First I currently have the One X and was excited to hear the specs on the X+ because my two real only complaints on this device are the battery life and storage. While I would have liked to see MicroSD added 64GB is a huge jump. I used to be a die hard "must have external battery" thinker but for my usage I have found that it hasn't been a huge problem unless I am on an LTE network that eats batteries and since rooting and installing a custom ROM that allows me to force back to H+ when I don't want the super fast data its not an issue for me.
However I too have decided that I will no longer buy carrier phones, I am tired of carriers locked bootloaders and garbage apps (and I used to work for a carrier...) so if there isn't a version released that isn't carrier specific then I most likely will regretably pass.
On the subject of what carriers get what phones... This is a complicated issue and it varies phone to phone, carrier to carrier, mfg to mfg. Sometimes it is as some have suggested that mfg don't want to build CDMA versions for a small US market. I say small because while Verizon is big if there isn't a huge martketing campaign pushing the phone then it won't sell in great numbers, and Verizon likes to push their exclusives first and foremost. Sometimes its the carriers telling the mfg that they're not interested, this happens a lot with Verizon, they'd rather have fewer options because it gives them greater control over what they do push to their customers. Lastly it sometimes comes down to a mfg not wanting to over invest in a specific device and if it for all carriers then they have to dedicate their entire production operation to one specific device and if the ramp up in production happens and the device falls flat then that is a hard thing to recover from.

Far more than an upgraded Evo LTE. I wasn't aware the Evo LTE had a slower quad core.
This is a substantial improvement. Wasn't everybody mad that we didn't get quad core like the international version? Now we have it AND lte. And international doesn't get lte. Lol
