HTC's new 8X Windows Phones look slick!

Ergonomics seems to be completely ignored when talking about the iPhone.

Apple and ergonomics... oxymoron. I've only cares about the stark industrial design.

God i remember the hockey puck... i detested that thing

I've watching a few vids on the 8X and read many of the major tech blogs' impressions.

I think HTC has a winner on their hands, with the potential to outshine the Lumia 920.

The thinner design, reasonable screen and body size, plus LCD display appeals to be greatly.

I just can't decide. For me it's:

HTC 8X
-Slightly nicer polycarbonate body and finish.
-Thinner profile and lighter weight.
-Wide angle, high resolution front camera.

Nokia Lumia 920
-Better rear camera.
-Wireless charging & magnetic docking. (awesome Palm Pre like feature)
-Nokia exclusive map / data apps.

What I really want is the 8X body with Nokia's inductive charging/docking system and map applications

I'm in exactly the same position. I really want the HTC - but I wish it had the maps and charging that Nokia does.. For me, Maps is really important and I think Nokia will lead in this area..

I wish both Android and Windows Phone let you manage programs on a PC, like iOS does...it's soooo annoying having no way to back up programs, and potentially downloading 90 billion MB of files if you restore or whatever, among other issues.

Can't speak for Win Phone 8 (It might have it, who knows) but in Android you can backup apps through a backup app itself. Granted it is not baked into the OS but it is still something... which is better than nothing!

Very nice looking hardware!

I just personally can't stand the Windows Phone interface, though I have a friend who absolutely loves his WP7 phone so different strokes for different folks.

No micro SD slot. HTC almost knocks it out of the park but leaves out a biggy. Still a nice phone but w/ 16GB...it needs external space. I wonder what the other two colors are?

I'm sure they do have SD card slots.

I'm sure the 8X doesn't.

That's a mistake by HTC, 16gb and that's your lot.

I'm split between the 820 and these phones. I'm probably going to go with the lumia because of the Nokia City Lens, Nokia Drive, and Micro SD. Plus, the colored shells look really cool. Still waiting for pricing and availability on Nokia's end, which may push me into HTC land, but I heard a rumor the 820 was coming to T-Mobile, which would seal the deal for me.

Don't forget Nokia and Motorola are going to destroy the asian company's reception too. When faced with a similar phone there's no way I'd pick an HTC or Samsung or something over a Nokia or Motorola.
