got mine, its epic, bigger than i thought it would be, but the bigger screen improves web browsing ten fold, also the speed apps open and close instantly, makes my old galaxy s look like a nokia 3210

im sure ill get used to it and it will become the norm, but the novelty factor at the moment is superb.

It finally come today, just getting my apps installed as I couldn't bothered to backup and restore from my Legend, and I didn't have that many apps installed... though I'm installing those I couldn't on the Legend  :smiley:

first minus really is battery life, but ive been on it non stop and i guess its the price to pay for a super fast phone with an awesome display. Think until some new super battery that is affordable is invented its the way mobiles are going, so as long as it lasts a full day even with heavy useage thats fine

There are some larger batteries around, obviously they add bulk  :sad:

I'm on vodafone and I can't wait to leave the robbing, ungrateful cnuts. I'll be going with orange most likely, or T-mobile as they have great deals and use orange signal, so get good coverage.

S3, one X or One S for me. S3 most likely.

I've got a One X and S3 now with me now.

The One X feels much better build quality and I do prefer the feel of it, the screen is slightly better in terms of brightness, though I do have a Matte screen protector on the S3 which makes it less than ideal to compare them side by side and I'm not taking it off because it was a pita to get on and aligned with all the various sensors and cut outs etc I can't feel a difference in speed in normal usage, but I suspect the S3 will still trounce the One X in most circumstances - even with the 12 core GPU the Tegra 3 chipset has!

If you do go for a One X just make sure you're paying less monthly than for the S3 on the same minutes/texts/data contract.
