im pretty excited to see what is on the horizon; though, admittedly, i am not thus far impressed. i love the windows phone navigation. that and the camera and the music are the three things i care most about in a phone. i have no idea why a phone with the camera abilities of the one x doesnt come with a dedicated shutter button. that phone is awesome. the gsIII has an amazing camera, and a lot of other cool stuff that i dont care as much about, and yet no dedicated shutter button. it's frustrating precariously holding your phone up and having to poke a finger on the screen praying you dont mess up a good shot more than you do mess it up.

    Anonymous, 27 Sep 2012yeah wp8 as been made extremly customozable compared to wp7... more7.8 update will add the same customizing as 8.

    Good thing they are starting again with the core code.
    Windows Phone 7 is build on CE

    Windows Phone 8 is build on an NT hybrid core and from day 1 will handle up to 64 cores for future use.
    Google it.

    Android is a bloated mess with design issues from
    day 1 causing the problems you see today.
    They need to start again.

        Nothing special about HTC Windows Phone 8X.
        In fact it is a very boring W8 phone.
        It is just a Lumia 920 clone.

                The screen on the iPhone 5 isn't better neither.

                  Why is this supposed to be the new windows os and it looks the same as tge last one.Large boring tiles and uncustomisable operating system.Dead in the water before its released.To be honest they might sell 3 or 4 at the most.Anyone now is buying the new iphone.

                          Your seriously comparing the desktop Windows 7 now to ICS? So not against the Windows Phone 7 then.

                              I'm an iPhone user but it's good to see windows is making a comeback with W8 to give android a dose of reality that once there's more competition is that they can no longer flood the market with these crappy fragmented phones.

                                windows 7 have huge lag i deal with quadcore 3.4ghz 8 gb of ram.

                                jelly bean locks the animations at 60 fps so it doesnt lag .

                                  just look at the htc one s , no lag whatsoever then the one x will have lag ( only because of sense)
