One X or wait ?

[Krumschi]

Hello !

I want to buy a new cellphone and my question is:
Wait for the Samsung Galaxy III or buy the HTC One X?
The HTC has very good technical data ...

Thank you =)

Just read up some reviews & speculation.

The HTC does look impressive. But I still worry about the Sense UI, never really liked it myself. I've seen demos of the Tegra 3 processor running real time games designed to push the power. It was very impressive, but again battery life will be an issue.

In the other corner we have only guess work on what the S3 will be packing. HTC has been on the losing side when put up against Samsung's releases. It's hard to regain the momentum once lost.

Here's a reasonable guess at what the S3 will be released with.... CNET (http://crave.cnet.co.uk/mobiles/samsung-galaxy-s3-complete-guide-50006020/)

Personally I'd wait. If the release is as soon as July for the S3, is it worth risking buying the wrong phone rather than waiting 3 months?
Think of those Isheep that bought an Ishite 4 just before the 4S was released.

I've been toying with this myself. Wait or get the one x?

Here is a nice review of the one x HTC One X Android smartphone ? reghardware (http://www.reghardware.com/2012/04/06/review_htc_one_x_android_smartphone/)

No micro sd slot and cant remove the battery has put me off for now until somethinng released on the S3 (rumoured may 22nd Samsung Galaxy S3 release date revealed as May 22 in leaked invite | Metro.co.uk (http://www.metro.co.uk/tech/895373-samsung-galaxy-s3-release-date-revealed-as-may-22-in-leaked-invite) )

Looks like the S3 will be unvailed on 3/5. I'm due an upgarde and been thinking the same as peeps on here (one x or wait). If the spec is anything like it's supposed to be, got to wait..

By the way, any of you guys work for network providers? I'm with T-Mobile and they have been trying for the last few weeks (a month before my upgrade) to get me to have the i-phone 4. Smacks of it's gone down like a sh*t sandwich and they have too ordered too many?

It will also be due to the amount of commission they get for the handset.
There are two types of sales tactics.... Give the customer exactly what they want at the best price. Or force them to take the phone & contract that makes the biggest bonus.

I wouldn't touch an Iphone even if it was the only phone available in the world. A couple of empty bean cans & a length of string is much more appealing.

September....gotta be kidding me...they were saying 2nd quarter...that is bull ox by Samsung if that's the case....

I couldn't wait anyway....and rooted and running the latest ics stunner ROM...(very similar to the ics ROM i had running on galaxy s) had the cyanogenmod 9 by imika first but didn't like it....really loving the ROM...

~~~~~ Samsung if they gonna make us wait that long :D
