What smartphone is on your upgrade horizon?

Isn't there some cloud based storage available?

Seen a review of the One X earlier, on Trusted Reviews, looks a great phone.

Yes there's a plethora of cloud based solutions for Android, but it starts to get expensive if you have large amounts of data.

Plus obviously it requires a data/wifi connection, and i don't really like the idea of having to pay to access my own media (storage or data charges)

From what I can see the One X seems to be superb, but time will tell. I can return it in 14 days if it’s no good.

Was considering a One X myself but 3 things are putting me off, only 32GB of storage, no option to add an SD card, or access to the battery being a unibody design.

Like an iPhone you mean?

Fair point re. having access to fast enough broadband, i'm not sure the cost of data is going to be relevant for very long more though, plenty of all you can eat deals popping up and competition means they're getting cheaper.

Yes it smacks of iTwattery, doesn't it.

Hi all! Just thought you might like to know we have a HTC One X in the building and we hope to publish our online review in the next few days!

Hi Andy, dumb question probably, can you confirm it has GPS as I didn't see it mentioned in any of the pre-release info, cheers?

Yet not as high scoring on the benchmarks as it's little brother, the One S (although both are shtoffashvl fast)

Yep it does. I believe it's actually assisted GPS, or A-GPS, which should mean that it will work better in areas where the signal's particularly weak...

Ok, excellent, thank you.

To be honest, the storage doesn't bother me as you can just plug it into your pc and backup anything via drag n drop like a data stick (unlike an iPhone). It's what I do with my desire.

The battery thing does bother me though, but on balance I think I can accept it 🙂

Good to know, thanks Andy / The_LHC.
