Both of those aren't deal breakers for me. I have no problem reaching the top and you can always flash a stock rom if you feel the need for asop.

I'm just waiting for a 5inch incredible X type version to reach AT&T, because the One X+ isn't enough of an upgrade to the One X.

----------



Honestly, it should be between the One X+ and the Galaxy Note II. The GS3 is inferior to both, IMO.

Me either. Dont care that the power/wake button is on the top. Especially if the home button wakes up the phone then id only be using the power/wake button to turn it off anyways. Even if the home button doesnt wake it up, its fine for me.

As for the Note 2....not even a consideration for me. Its just too big so i have no interest in it.

I also dont understand why some keep harping on Sense. Dont like it, download another launcher. Its as simple as that. I dont use TouchWiz....i use Apex and would probably do the same with Sense if i didnt like it. It shouldnt be an issue in the least.

True to an extent but launchers are only cosmetic changes. Dialer app, settings, messaging etc will all still be sense. Though you do still retain some awesome features like the camera software. No way to replicate that in asop.

It really isn't an issue though. It's not like sense is iOS where you're stuck with it no matter what. :D

Exactly...i dont use the TW message either. I use Handcent. But i actually like the dialer in TW so you have a point, there are just ways to change most if not everything if you want, ...even the dialer :D

I used to love handcent back in the eclair days. So many features with that app. Currently I only use Google voice for messaging since AT&T thinks they know what's best for me. They only offer unlimited messaging for 20 bucks and took away all other messaging plan options, like the $5 plan. I only text like maybe 40/60 texts per billing cycle and I refuse to pay for something I can get totally free.

My biggest problem with sense is the way they changed recent apps menu for no benefit at all. I wish launchers changed that. And that's not just looks that is user experience and functionality.

I have the One X as my second phone after my iPhone 5 and it is a great phone overall. The screen is amazing. This upgrade looks pretty incremental overall.

HTC Sense is not very obtrusive anymore.

I'm exactly the same as you in this regard. My international one X is my second phone. I prefer to listen to music on it than my iPhone 5, as I do find the beats audio works exceedingly well and as you say screen is amazing.

I'm running Jellybean and sense 4+ as I'm on elevate and its very fast now too.

Nice! I seem to listen to most music on my iPhone but i do listen to Pandora etc on the One X and i agree with you on the beats audio. I think beats is best with more modern base heavy music and i listen to a lot of classical and the like but still enjoy the enhancement. One thing i have not found on Android is a good podcast managing app like instacast on iOS.

I forgot to mention the camera on this one too...very good overall.

Have you checked out Virtuous Tems Holo Skin.

Its a great combination of Sense whilst looking like stock android :) it's my preferred theme.

Can't decide one which way I'm going but I'm really liking the Optimus G. Can't wait to see the specs on the next Galaxy. The One X+ is a solid contender tho

Well I think we have already seen the specs on the LG Nexus. They are pretty much all leaked and confirmed and also the same as the Optimus G.

Also, all the reviews of the Optimus are great. The One X series still wins in the screen department but minimally.

I wish HTC would build another Nexus. Love their hardware but I don't like sense

Note II just a little big for my tastes, S3 and One X+ are about as big as I could go. More I see of the One X+ the more I like it.

Same with me .I like one X+ rather than Samsung Note 2 and Galaxy s3. Heard about the HTC DLX new devices in Japan and US. From my taste, it is the best Android Phone in the current market
