[Deal Alert] AT&T's HTC One X+ Only $80 For New Customers From Amazon Wireless

Posted by Cameron Summerson in Deals, News, One X+

The HTC One X+ may be a rehash of the original One X, but it's a good rehash. It's easily the best HTC phone on AT&T right now, and if you're looking to pick one up without breaking the bank, Amazon Wireless has the deal for you.

Right now, if you agree to a new two-year term with Big Blue, Amazon Wireless will hand over this little beauty for $80. By contrast, AT&T will charge you $200 for the same phone, with the same contract. Scumbag carriers. Similarly, If you're already an AT&T customer thinking of re-signing with the carrier for this device, you can grab it for $140.

[Deal Alert] HTC One X On AT&T Only $0.01 For New Customers And Upgrades On Amazon Wireless

Posted by Cameron Summerson in AT&T, Deals, One XL (Evita)

Despite having been out for roughly six months, the HTC One X is still one of the best smartphones you can buy on AT&T. The design and build quality are both fantastic, Sense is tolerable, and it works on AT&T's blazing fast LTE network.

If you walk into an AT&T store right now to buy this phone, you'll be leaving $100 lighter. If, however, you want to grab this phone without spending more than a penny, Amazon Wireless can make that happen. This, of course, requires you to sign a two-year agreement, but the good news is that this deal is for both new contracts and upgrades.

Congratulations - you will be contacted for your information in the near future!

The HTC One X+

The HTC One X+ is a lot like the original One X - if you stuck the One X in an awesome-machine and painted it murdered-out black, that is. And AT&T and Android Police are giving one away. You do want a One X that got stuck in an awesome-machine, don't you?

You're likely already in the loop about the X+'s robust feature résumé, but let me break it down for you again, just in case.

Hands-On With The HTC One X+ And One VX

Posted by David Ruddock in News, One VX, One X+

Last Updated: October 26th, 2012

I had a brief hands-on with HTC's newest Android devices here at MobileCON in San Diego; specifically, the One X+ and One VX, both of which are tied down to AT&T here in the US. And the one you're probably interested in, the One X+, comes in any color you like - as long as it's black.

Now, my hands-on was indeed brief, but as a One X owner, I largely knew where to go and what to look at, and I have to say - this thing runs smooth. I've never found my Tegra 3 One X especially slow, but the speed difference with the newest T3 chip (presumably, the T33 found in the Transformer Pad Infinity) and Jelly Bean is definitely noticeable.

[Deal Alert] HTC One X On AT&T Now $0.01 For New Customers From Amazon Wireless

Posted by Cameron Summerson in AT&T, Deals, News, One X (Endeavor)

There are two types of people in this world: those who stick with the same carrier for decades at a time, and those who jump from one to another in order get the best phones. If you fall into the latter category, now may be the time to head over to AT&T, because the HTC One X just dropped to a penny at Amazon Wireless.

Sure, HTC may have already announced the One X+ with AT&T as its exclusive provider here in the States, but that doesn't take away from what a solid device the original One X is right now.

Editorial: Did HTC Drop The Ball With The One X+?

Posted by David Ruddock in Editorials, HTC, One X (Endeavor), One X+

Last Updated: October 26th, 2012

Even as the proud owner of an HTC One X, sometimes I find it difficult to defend the company whose handsets I really do love. The One X is a truly gorgeous piece of hardware - a unique and interesting design among a sea of relatively similar (or extremely boring) shiny plastic rectangles. It's the first Android phone design I've looked at and thought to myself, "Wow, that's really inspired." Call me a fanboy if you must, but I really do love the look of this phone. I have since I reviewed it, and I still love it now.

As such, you can guess that I love the look of the One X+.

[Deal Alert] AT&T's HTC One X Now $20 For New Customers At Amazon Wireless

Posted by Cameron Summerson in AT&T, Deals, News, One X (Endeavor)

If you walk into AT&T right now to buy the HTC One X and sign a new agreement, you'll not only be overrun by people trying to get the new iPhone, but pay $100 for it. Here's a better idea: stay home, head over to Amazon Wireless, and get the same phone for just $20 (if you're opening a new AT&T account). You'll avoid the crowd, standing in line, and having to listen to some salesman tell you to buy some other phone that's not nearly as good. You know which one I'm talking about.

Specs:

Processor: MSM8960 dual-core Qualcomm Snapdragon S4 at 1.5GHz
GPU: Adreno 225
Operating System: Android 4.0.3 with Sense 4.0
Display: 4.7" Super IPS LCD2 (720x1280, 312DPI)
Memory: 1GB RAM / 16GB internal (12GB usable - 2GB for apps, 10GB for storage)

Battery: 1800mAh, non-removable

Official CyanogenMod 9 Nightlies Now Available For The International One X

Posted by Cameron Summerson in News, One X (Endeavor)

While the AT&T version of the HTC One X has been getting nightly builds of CM10 for about a week now, the international variant has been left in the cold, alone and scared of its stock OS. I spoke with the international One X over the weekend, and it has this to say:

I'm not really sure what's going on, man. I'm a powerful device, and completely capable of running custom firmware. All of me peers are getting CM10 nightlies, and I just feel like the unwanted stepchild at this point. It's really frustrating.

After a bit of an "emotional breakdown," I was able to calm the One X, whose codename is EndeavorU, enough to get him to realize that CyanogenMod would be available soon.
