At&t just dropped the price to $99 today. That combined with source might bring some people back.
I work for At&t as a sales rep and just got the email. This is the new price point, no special or deal.
It takes a while for the reps to learn new prices but it is true the hox is 100 noq

Resale value going to ****.. I hate how on craigslist S3 owners want 150+HOX for their phone. This is going to make it worse.. its because HTC sales have been going down hill on the last quarter. They couldn't even meet their purchasing price for BEATS. Tsk tsk they should have shipped the phones with unlocked BL and source code ready. Maybe some devs will hop on though!
the sale starts the 29th. my apologies for the confusion. The email I received didnt say the 29th.
Interesting. Either way, thanks for the information! I hope the One X's sales increase with the price drop...at $199 it's a great phone, even compared to other $199 phones. At $99 it's a steal!
Would it be safe to share this information with sources outside of XDA, or might it put your job at risk?

So this phone doesn't have any device support? Is that's what issue is?

Hey guys.. I just checked the AT&T web site and indeed the HOX is now at $99.99 or the same price as the Atrix HD. Amazon has not changed the price yet however, though if they do what they did with the Atrix, it could well be on sale at Amazon for $50 tomorrow. I had a long chat with an ATT rep when dialing the 611 number and they are bending over backwards to get me the phone I want. In fact they're going to wave the activation fees and credit me what I would pay in CA sales tax too, thereby matching the deals at Amazon. Needless to say, getting the phone direct from ATT has big advantages, especially when grandfathering over my existing plan (450/UNLTD data/200 txt msgs).
So as a noob to Android coming from 4 years with Apple, I want to make the best choice. I can get the HOX for the same price as the Atrix, and can also get a GS3 for $100. I had actually written off the HOX due to the many hardware issues I was seeing people have over in the AC forums as well as the wifi and multi-tasking problems. I really like what Moto has done with their UI, but the battery life and poor camera kind of kill that. The GS3 is nice but the blue tint on the screen and some of the issues with that phone concern me as does how Sammy fumbled the ICS update with the Skyrocket. So I guess my question is if anyone can offer a NON-biased suggestion as to which phone is really the best built and best performer overall. The lack of the microSD on the HOX also is a sticking point, but needless to say, the screen, camera and battery life are big pluses. Thanks.
