Which one of these would you suggest?I like the looks on the One X more. SIII has a better processor. SIII is more expensive. One X doesnt have expandable memory.Have some of the problems reported in the initial batches of One X been resolved?the software doesn't matter to me as Ill be running cyanogenmod anyways.any other flagships worth waiting for? Not interested in Note II or iPhone 5. When are WP8 handsets launching?

Used OneX and S3 side by side for 3 days. Gotta say i liked OneX more than the s3. OneX looks like a good quality product and has luxury touch to it. While s3 looks like pastic mid range androids. Camera is also good in onex than on s3.

Strange I forgot to mention the build quality. Samsung's build quality is pathetic. They either don't understand, or simply don't care about it. I mean WTF is with that cheap cheap back plate that they provide with their high end phones. HTC phones are slightly tough to root, but not impossible. Also a lot of progress has now been made on the One X, so it isn't really the end of the road. Lord Clockan, one of the better developers of ICS, has moved on to One X now and so I believe there is going to be continued progress on that front.

yeap. the back panel on the nexus s was horrible. they are using a different design for Galaxy nexus but it is still awful quality plastic for the back cover. one x does not have a removable battery so another negative point for that. but the build quality? the quality of plastic? the white colored unit looks delicious man. 
black? not so much.

I am not too sure about this unremovable battery thing. I mean, I am not aware of anyone at all who carries a spare battery along with him. I was one of the earlier critics that the iPhone didn't have this, but over a period of time I have realised, it isn't really a problem since people hardly, if at all, replace a battery

it is not a big problem for the first year of ownership. it becomes one if you plan to keep it for a longer duration.
after 2 years or so you would want to replace the battery of the device and well you can never be sure if the indian service centers would still offer a replacement. and of course, it would come at a premium compared to doing it yourself.
this was one of the reasons i wanted to get rid of one x. i do not carry a second battery. but i like the ability to replace the battery when and if it dies on me. brian has both of my n1 and ns units. and he has replaced batteries on both of them using the older battery as backup. he confirmed that the replacement battery gives him much better uptime compared to one/two year old batteries.
also... on my Galaxy nexus, i can buy a Seidio battery with double the capacity for around 60-70 dollars. would add some bulk to the phone but the battery backup would become phenomenal. this is something you cannot really do on a phone with non-removable batteries.
i have personally not kept a phone for more than 12-14 months. so it has not been an issue for me. but owners of second hand one x units? i would feel a bit sorry for them. i understand that Apple's battery tech is probably more advanced compared to other manufacturers. their batteries tend to last for longer compared to the competition. i know a person with a 3.5 year old ipod touch whose battery life is still freaking amazing for example.

I hadn't considered the long term use thing. Probably because I myself never observed a stark difference in back up between a new piece and a old one. For instance, my current phone (Nokia 5800XM) used to give me about 4.5 - 5 days back up when it was new. 3 years later, my usage is about the same, probably a bit more with Outlook syncing which wasn't there earlier, and I still get about 3 - 3.5 days which I think is acceptable for a old phone.

the difference would be more than visible on modern day devices as they tend to have shorter battery life. you are talking about devices with 4.7" of display size... and ability to run modern apps that consume a lot of data in the background.

Man. Port out to Reliance CDMA and get this at 26K >> For Sale: Evo 4G Lte @ Rs.26000 - Reputed Sellers - Reliance Mobile (CDMA & GSM) - Discussion Forums
This is basically HTC OneX version for Sprint US.
It does have Micro SD Card slot + kick stand et all..
SOC is Qualcomm S4 Crait (Required because of LTE) which is Dual Core but kicks/similar to Nvidia Quad Core of international OneX in many benchmarks & is more power efficient.
Rest is all similar One X Specs >> HTC EVO
