Hi all! Just thought you might like to know we have a HTC One X in the building and we hope to publish our online review in the next few days!

Hi Andy, dumb question probably, can you confirm it has GPS as I didn't see it mentioned in any of the pre-release info, cheers?

Isn't there some cloud based storage available? 

Seen a review of the One X earlier, on Trusted Reviews, looks a great phone.

 

Yet not as high scoring on the benchmarks as it's little brother, the One S (although both are shtoffashvl fast)

Yep it does. I believe it's actually assisted GPS, or A-GPS, which should mean that it will work better in areas where the signal's particularly weak...

From what I can see the One X seems to be superb, but time will tell.  I can return it in 14 days if it’s no good.

 

Was considering a One X myself but 3 things are putting me off, only 32GB of storage, no option to add an SD card, or access to the battery being a unibody design.

 


To be honest, the storage doesn't bother me as you can just plug it into your pc and backup anything via drag n drop like a data stick (unlike an iPhone). It's what I do with my desire.

The battery thing does bother me though, but on balance I think I can accept it Smile
