If you go to the original article, there are 21 picks but it's not that helpful. The article is in Chinese but pictures are pictures. Most of the words say things like "screw here", etc.

It should be noted that this is the international version of the HTC One X.

Thanks for that! I still didn't see anything that resembled storage in there. I'm thinking it's gotta be under the aluminum shielding there.

As far as AT&T's plan and why they knocked us down to essentially 10 gigs..
You had one thing right when you said cloud dependency, but I think it goes much further than that. Think of the 23GB free Dropbox space they're giving us all, the Google Music they are all undoubtedly expecting us to use. It's the precursor to their future attempt to hold your data hostage! What are you going to do if you don't pay your bill and your service goes out? You can't access your dropbox on the go, you can't stream your music through Google Play. They know that nobody wants to actually fill that measly 10 gigs with music. It's an attempt to get you more motivated to pay your monthly bill, and to extend your contract for another two years once this one is up. It's funny how they give you 23 gigs on your dropbox for 2 years, the same as your contract length. Something tells me that extending your contract will get you another 2 years once it's up. It might look like simple marketing, but honestly it's quite shady of them.

The 25gb of dropbox space is a deal between dropbox and HTC. At&t has nothing to do with it (nor any other carrier for that matter), so no, you won't get another 2 years of 25gb drop ox storage for extending your contract.

The choice of less storage and more cloud based storage is because that's where the market as a whole is going (world wide) and the bandwidth available with LTE connections.

And the deal between dropbox and HTC for 2 years is because that's the average lifespan of a product until it hits eol.

But I need to reinerate again, It has nothing to do with carrier as this offer is worldwide with the one x (both evita and endeavour).

if someone wants to buy me an extra phone, I'd gladly try replacing the nand chips on it... Should be a possible replacement of chips... depending on what chips were used, # of address/data lines, etc... and if there is a compatable same # pin chip that is double the capacity... thats only half the battle, the other half would be getting the phone to recognize the larger capacity nand chip... I'm not so sure that would be automatic... would likely require modifying a low level driver's address map...

Sprint version has a microSD slot so it's a real kick in the nuts.

this is a kick in the nuts indeed. i just got a att verion of the one x. the lack of storage was almost a deal breaker for me. i traded in my HTC vivid and paid $100 more

Sprint's network is also a kick in the nuts...

Anyone happen to know if the evo 4g lte's battery will fit in our phone?

So true. I was on sprint and was deciding between the two, went with this as I was sick of sprints non existent 4g and terrible 3g. If any coverage at all. Where I frequent atleast.
