Why did you pick the One X over Samsung S3 ???

---

You don't even know the specs of of the S3 and you have already pre-ordered the One X. You do know the S3 will be annouced on May 3rd right?

Well for me the biggest reason is...... The HTC Vivid. It was released on the same day as the Skyrocket and it has had ICS for over a month.. It was also released 6 weeks later than the S2.

The Sammy Att combo does not like to upgrade very fast.

Plus I always reserve the right to change my mind if the S3 is coming to ATT in May and is totally Bad

Ive had the Captivate and right now I have my Galaxy S II. While I love my GSII, Im tired of Samsung and the same square boring look. Then yesterday, I was able to play with the OneX for an hour and had me completely sold.

Im sure the GS3 has nice specs, but chances are you wont be utilizing them 100% of the time. Ill take the look of the OneX over a "potential" increase of hardware, and instead enjoy the beautiful screen and fast camera.

Im choosing the HOX or S3 simply because Samsung is and already has already taken too long to spill the beans on the S3, its like they are hiding nuclear weapons or something. And also its time for a new phone and I dont feel like waiting several more months for the S3 to be released. And the fact that it takes Samsung/At&t forever and a day to release updates to their phones. Another note I hate about Samsung is that they release multiple versions of their phones like the S2, S2 Skyrocket, Skyrocket HD, etc... lol

Edit: Im still using my old captivate simply because I wanted the S2 but then came the skyrocket and others then came news of the S3 so I couldnt choose until I saw the HOX at MWC then I played with it the other day in the local store and Im completely sold on it now.

I also had a Captivate that had to be swapped out 5 times for all sorts of issues.

The S2 has been great except for the camera buzzing sound(autofocus).

ATT is sending me another one now to swap. It didn't bother me too much,,, But I figured it should work correctly since its going to the family member I took the upgrade from.

For me, I'm tired of waiting for something good. I have been eligible for an upgrade for months... Don't want an iPoop and recent phones just don't do it for me. The S3 could be great, but the HOX is available now (relatively). At worse if the S3 is announced to be available really soon I could always take the HOX back. Plus, my last 3 phones were HTCs...guess I'm a fan of the quality.

Another reason, be it a dumb reason, is I hate their naming scheme. If someone asks me about the HOX I can say it's an HTC ONE X. If they ask about the skyrocket for example I would have to tell them it's a Samsung Galaxy SII Skyrocket HD. I would hate myself for even having to say it...

Do other HTC phones have all the stock skins? I noticed that while playing with the store demo. I think there were at least 10

I ordered it so I could flip it.
If I do decide to keep the One X, it will hang around till the GSIII arrives.
(unless the GSIII turns out to be a turd)

Gonna be funny if the GSIII turns out to be a monster on the 3rd, then my One X arrives on the 4th...

Keep the HOX and flip the iphone5

i have had the captivate and the note, the cappy was a bug from the start and had slow updates, the note didn't "feel" like an upgrade aside from the screen which as a phone was to big for me i guess as it was a pain. the note had last years hardware and felt cheaply made as well. i'm not saying the h1x will be a dream come true but it is different and i think that is what i need.

i remember my htc pure back in the day and it had great support and updates, and was well built. i have tried all the major brands a chance or two, if the h1x sucks then my next try will probably be a motorola as the atrix was really nice and i kinda miss it now.

You know, that was my intention at the end of last year. (I've been up for upgrade for a long time now) and Apple effed us with the 4S. Then I almost used it on the Note to flip. I'm glad I never got around to it, the 1X is much more exciting...
