HTC One X

Considering my last phone I signed up with was a BlackBerry Curve in late 2010, I'm more than happy with my new smartphone. To be completely honest with you my son broke my BlackBerry a year into my contract and I just never got around to getting it fixed. So I made do with a $20 Nokia with could only make calls and send texts, the screen broke early this year so my One X is pretty 'new age technology' to me ;)
I first went in wanting an iPhone 5 or a Samsung Galaxy S III, but one look at the iPhone I wasn't really impressed. The woman in store talked me into getting a One X, saying she had just come back from holidays and used this phone for EVERYTHING. She gave me a Samsung Galaxy S III and a HTC One X to play with for a bit to help make my decision, I ended up ditching the high-techy gadgets for better quality images and crystal clear music. After taking it home and spending the last twenty-four hours playing around/customizing it I can say I'm pretty impressed with my first HTC phone.
The camera quality is beautiful and when you hold down the snap button continuous shooting comes into play at one shot per second, perfect to capture a bird taking flight, a fast moving car or my little monster and his rather erratic movements. Other things I've come to like is how clear the One X plays music and the super fast internet connection! I think this will soon be replacing my iPod AND my laptop (oh yeah, I said it!). In fact I was more than willing to blog on the One X and would have if the Blogger App was better, so I stole my partners laptop instead.
The only thing I don't like about the phone is that the camera lens can get quite "murky" in the sense that the slightest smudge on the lens equals any light to blur and stretch during capture, ruining the image. I'm also not a huge fan of the white plastic backing, it feels cheap and very breakable. Not something that many would complain about, just a little quirk I found. All in all I'm very happy with my new phone, hopefully it will have a longer life than my old BlackBerry.
