Seems like quite a few of people are bashing this phone because of the battery and lack of SD card. I guarantee when the next iPhone hits and is LTE its battery life won't be much better, yet everyone will just accept it.
Yes, 16GB of internal storage is disappointing but those with large music libraries can use Google Play or your 25GB of DropBox included with the phone.
Its time to put the most disappointing phone of 2011 down for good. (Cough iPhone 4S)

And every time you want to access music, you have to engage the radio and kill the battery some more? What about those that ride the NYC subways (or any other underground trains) and don't get service? had i relied on streaming my music with Google music (which is less seamless than iTunes match because i'd have to upload a ton of music to begin with), my one x battery would have been dead by lunchtime if i started my day at 5-6am.
Then maybe the One X isn't for you. Thankfully I live far, far away from NYC and have a perfect signal everywhere I go with AT&T.
because i buy on expansys usa and the ree stocking fee if i return it if 25% i sell it and get more money
You hate NYC? Haha, what a shame. Also proclaiming the 4S a disappointment is silly. Yes I wanted a larger screen last fall but everything else was awesome.
Like others have implied, relying on streaming your music is a flawed point. Forces you to use 4G data in a non wi-fi area plus wi-fi and a cellular connection are not always available. (Subways, planes, spotty cell in trains, etc.)
Even with that established that is not a deal breaker for me. I can stream my entire collection via Google Music in strong wi-fi areas (like my house) plus I could get a 64 GB iTouch if I deem having my collection during long trips as absolutely necessary.
At this point the only way I'm not getting the One X is if reviews say the battery life of the LTE model is terrible. We shall know very soon.
I do as well, in Chicago where I'm in an LTE area, and used it with the Galaxy Note. I love Google music and all that stuff, but for the first time in 4 years I got the text from AT&T that 2 weeks into the month, I was 90% through my data plan. I love the idea of how it all works, but it will never be able to completely beat internal storage. I think 32GB is a sweet spot, and realistically for flagship devices, they could just do what Apple does and have tiers of the devices.
I have AT&T unlimited and have 5GB since I have an LTE phone. Don't stream that much but I know I'll be good. But yea this can eventually be an issue for some people. If it, skip on the One X.
That's excellent
I'm glad it's working out for you. I wish I and 99% of people were in the same boat with grandfathered plans :\ With my iPhone, having so much more of my stuff locally really keeps the data usage low.That's excellent
Guess no one signed a cell phone contract in 2008 or 2009 when unlimited was all you can get?

People did, but a lot of them stepped down to lower tier packages, swapped carriers, etc. I'd be interested to see the number of smartphone users on AT&T with an unlimited plan still. I have seen numbers thrown around in threads varying from 20% to 40% with no real data to back them up. I am not even sure if AT&T really makes this information very available.

The author in this video says the LTE One X gets roughly 20% more battery life compared to the international model. He does not mention however if he used the LTE model in an LTE area.
New One X owners-
How's the dictation feature compared to Siri? That's one thing I use a lot on my iPhone as well as dictate on my iPad.
I am trying the new Nokia Lumia 900 right now and it's dictation feature is disappointing. For that and a few other reasons it's going back. So I thought I might try an android phone again for my second line. The One X seems the most interesting out there right now.

I have had the International one x for about three weeks now. I have no problem with the battery life. It's an awesome phone. The display is really unbelievable. Images look like they float on top of the glass. It's the best Android phone out right now! But I would still say the iPhone is the best smartphone out. I have always had both Android and IOS phones and bounce back and forth all the time. Right now the three I have are the iPhone 4s, HTC One X and the Galaxy Note. If I had to choose one it would be the iPhone because IOS is so good...but the One X is a very close second place. If you want the best Android phone out.....the the One X is it!! Just don't get rid of your iPhone! Best of both worlds!
I'm following the XDA forums with respect to the One X. The Rogers and AT&T models seem to be suffering from very spotty wi-fi performance. I would hold off purchasing the AT&T model for a few weeks to see if this issue is addressed by HTC. (Potentially a software update.)
^ thanks for posting that, the Wi-Fi problem I hadn't heard of yet.
Weak Wi-Fi was one of the reasons I returned the Galaxy Nexus and another Samsung phone.
Hopefully HTC gets this fixed with an update soon.

Just the simple fact the iPhone 4s doesn't run on LTE or even 4G pretty much means its not even close to the best phone out there. 3G speeds are a joke, sorry.
LTE isn't mainstream enough for your point to be valid.
At the huge expense of battery life it may not be worth bit for some people until battery tech catches up...
