our family cntract is up today, so we were going to get the HTC One X from ATT.

Well, since I read Chinese, I went to the HTC Taiwan site and found that the HTC One X that are sold in Taiwan is quad core and has 32G internal memory.

The crippled HTC One X from ATT is dual core and with 16G of internal memory.

AFAIK the locked ATT iPhone is feature and spec identical to the unlocked one. Can't believe they would cripple the HTC One X.

 

The other problem is that an ongoing Apple legal battle against HTC has all the One variants in a holding pattern in customs right now. Read here.

Most international versions of phones use the better chips. The U.S. versions need the dual core chips for LTE-compatibility purposes...

The One X isn't a bad phone in either version, just depends if you want a contract.

 

Get a Nokia Lumia 900, doh!

 

The unlocked HTC One X are available right now for about 600 bucks.

Or I can pay $399 for a 64G iPhone.

This is for my wife.

I will be using my U.S. embargoed unlocked HTC Sensation XL with traditional Chinese Android OS that I got in Taiwan a few months ago.

After two years of Verizon experience, I am really not that impressed by their high speed data coverage. Their voice is good, their data coverage is unimpressive.
