Except that I think the phone has become a little bit slower. Not sure, but I feel that it used to be faster in the beginning. I'm still on 01001 btw. Ps: I don't think the rim is metal.

          Hi to all Idol X owners. Mind giving your latest opinions or comments about this phone after owning it since last year.? I am from Malaysia. I owned this phone since October 2013. To date, the phone still serve me well. The battery is still functional 100% and i never notice unusual battery draining. The phone itself still running fast and excellent. Screen is still awesome, no dead pixel or color shift whatsoever. The only downside is, the paint on the metal rim has chip

I just don't want to have to use force (no matter how little) to press a button, when there's also soft touch home buttons. Plus more wear&tear for physical buttons (ps That's why I'm testing Gravity Screen app at the moment, to reduce the number of times having to use the physical on/off button to bring up my lock screen or to lock it). Anyway, yeah, it's all a matter of personal taste, I know some people prefer physical buttons (although, like I said, I can't understand why :-)).

                    Omer, 10 Mar 2014Dunno why anyone would want a physical home button. For me,... moreit depends on how you use the phone. phones now are just like computers, you need to wipe your RAM once in a while and close all your recent apps for time to time otherwise they will slow down and there for give you a bad experience with the product. (which you probably didint do) I prefer physicle buttons for the only reason that if EVER my phone was to freeze, its waaaaay easier to get it to work again if you have a physicle button. that way you dont have to force shut it off by removing the batery... which is not good for your internal and/or external memory.. And i have monsteriouly big hands and i keep accidentaly hitting the touch home button and it pisses me off when i do that.

                        I have bought this FULL PRICE for 249$ here in Canada. little bugs here and there but nothing to be alarmed. The camera is AMAZING. The screen is AMAZING!there are a couple downfalls though, the phone needs to be "professionnaly" opened to change the battery, there is not physicle home button and the rear speeker is soso. But besides these little downfalls I LOVE it! VERY GOOD buy for that price. If you dont want to buy a 650$ phone but want some equivalent or almost this is the phone you need to buy!

Well, 01001 works well for me, so in no hurry to get an update anyway, I was just curious why so much difference between firmware versions, that's all.

But what I find weird is I've seen several updates being mentioned here over the past few months, and I'm still on the 1st one (and not just me, also a colleague of mine who has the same phone). Ps I haven't tried the pc-software yet, only checked for updates on the phone itself. Dunno if that makes any difference?
