Haha! I am wondering the same coming from a barely-working HTC Desire that restarts every time I try to do anything with it

I'm really excited. Wildfire was my first smartphone, for such a cheap device (£60 I paid) it was great. Hope the One X meets my expectations.

its gonna blow ur eyes out, using a nexus S with super AMOLEd and the screen on the onex was just stunning and its so slim and light yet strong. but the size would take some getting used to since the wildfire is such a tiny little thing

Wow. That's some jump! My friend has a Wildfire, which he regularly hands to me to fix the mess he's gotten it into. You are in for a treat.

For starters the size will take a bit of getting used to. The screen is going to blow you away too. But from trying to use a Wildfire (which in my opinion was never powerful enough to handle Sense properly) the biggest difference you are going to notice is no longer pressing something and having to wait 3 or 4 seconds for the response.

No longer will certain apps not appear in the market for you because of an unsupported low screen resolution or lack of a GPU.

Web browsing wont be painful to read web pages without zooming riiiiiigghht in close.

Press the camera shutter button, and the phone will be taken instantly. I seem to remember the Wildfire takes the photo a few seconds afterwards. My friend was always complaining about missing the moment with his camera.

You wont miss the track pad quite as much as you'd think.

You wont need to be constantly force-closing apps to free up RAM to stop the launcher from reloading.

All-in-all, you are going to wonder how you ever put up with the Wildfire!

Can't wait. I was what I'd call an 'advanced' user of the Wildfire, I know my way around the file system and I've flashed many different ROMS. Really looking forward to seeing what the Dev community can come up with for the X.

Never used the trackpad.

I think I'm making a huge step with the one X.
I had an HD2 but it unfortunately had the digitalizer problem so it's dead now. And a friend gave me his HTC Legend to wait the new release of phones
I'm using it for 2 months now so I think it's gonna be a shock too
I'm still a student, if you like my work buy me a Beer
