For me, I'm really disappointed with the plastic body of the phone. It makes the phone looks like a toy when holding in hand despite being the flagship phone.
I don't care how strong the polycarbonate body is, even holding S2 feel better in the hand.

In my opinion, the One X looks much better built than the S2. The polycarbonate does not look cheap and plasticky.

If you can wait a month, the Galaxy S III will probably be announced, and the other competing phones like the Optimus 4x will start popping up. Really, this is the first quad-core phone and it is displaying all the telltale qualities of a 1.0 phone, despite HTC's supposed commitment to quality over quantity. This is also their first unibody polycarbonate phone, so two firsts is a really big gamble for a phone buyer. The first dual-core phone last year was the Optimus 2x. Tons of issues and even a class action lawsuit. Even if this is the one you plan to buy no matter what, I would still give it a month to iron out software kinks and hardware manufacturing issues, and then buy a later version of it.

Would be better to see what the competition comes out with and then making a decision. Also gives time for the price to drop.

To buy, or not to buy, that is the question.
I will probably wait till Galaxy S III gets released (22 may) and then decide.

The fact is that whatever phone you buy, a better one will be released soon enough afterwards that you'll wonder if you should have waited - but if you play that game, you end up waiting forever. Which is why I don't have a tablet yet.

With the One X, to some extent I think it depends on how much you like HTC Sense. The SGS3 might well have better specs, but I like Sense, so I wanted to stick with HTC.

I've only had it 2 days, so it's difficult to give a detailed opinion. But I like the feel of the phone, external build quality seems good, the screen is fantastic, and Sense 4.0 is a major improvement over previous versions. My only concern is the lack of a microSD card, but in all honesty I rarely filled up the 32GB card I had in my DHD, so I'm hoping that won't be an issue. The only issues I've seen so far are all software, and updates will come.

I haven't unlocked and rooted yet, as I have a 14 day cooling off period to see if I'll keep it or not. But early signs are that I will.
