Which phone did all of you come from?

blacktea · May 1st, 2012, 11:26 AM

I have noticed a lot of people using the HTC Desire before they made the switch to the One X. It's the same in my case, I also used an HTC Desire before making the switch.

So I was interested in seeing what devices you guys used before the One X.

anoniemouse · May 1st, 2012, 11:44 AM

+1 for the desire, if the one x holds up to the early promise then it should be every bit as great as the desire was when that was new.

craftycarper · May 1st, 2012, 11:59 AM

Yep, Desire here also, just happened i was at end of contract when One X came out so it was the logical choice for me. LOVING IT.

El Presidente · May 1st, 2012, 12:04 PM

Desire HD. I could upgrade in January, but had a totally agonising wait until the start of the month before this came out. I nearly went for the Nexus, but I'm glad I was patient.

Trekk · May 1st, 2012, 04:25 PM

Nokia lumia 900, and I am happy I switched

cupraman · May 1st, 2012, 05:15 PM

Desire hd and I came to upgrade time 2 days after the release of the one x, happy days.

ab2502 · May 1st, 2012, 07:27 PM

Samsung impression, so happy with the one x.

Dave L · May 1st, 2012, 07:43 PM

Desire for me too. Was on the lookout for a new phone. I got the heads up from these forums that HTC was nearing the release of new phone so decides to wait. Really pleased I did. Well impressed so far.

Oridus · May 1st, 2012, 08:00 PM

HTC Inspire, Samsung Galaxy S II, Samsung Galaxy Note, Nokia Lumia 900 are the phones i've used in the last 8 months... now going with the One X.

moix · May 2nd, 2012, 01:46 AM

Iphone 4, Galaxy s2. so far so good, a little issue with the battery life. and yea still figuring out a way to restore my s2 backup (.sbu) in one x

Casanunda · May 2nd, 2012, 05:19 AM

I've been having a read through this subforum as I got my One X on Monday and thought this was as good a thread as any to say hello to everyone. Seems a good phone so far, but I'm now just about to unlock the bootloader as I need rid of Sense asap! I've come from a two year old Desire by the way

kevinlufc · May 2nd, 2012, 07:59 AM

Desire for me. Was a fantastic phone, apart from the storage issue.

Yeah storage was a HUGE problem for me on my Desire. I've actually found the built-in internal storage pretty useful. No need to hassle with SD cards anymore.

s.m.knipe · May 2nd, 2012, 08:25 AM

My most recent device lineage is Atrix 4G -> (International- Yakju) Galaxy Nexus (so I am used to the 16GB storage limitation we will see stateside here)

JKOH · May 2nd, 2012, 09:05 AM

Desire for 20 months, Sensation XE for 4 months and One X now. Not that the Sensation XE is no good but because the One X is superb. Really like the camera and video function, takes very good pictures, even indoor night photo looks clear and sharp. The screed display is very good and natural, viewing outdoor at auto setting is still good, one of the best HTC phone to date. Will likely stay with One X for a year or more until the next worthy HTC new phone is available.

RetroDude · May 2nd, 2012, 10:04 AM

Desire for me, contract expired about 4 months ago but they put me on a short term contract so i could upgrade any time. Been waiting for the right phone, delighted with my choice.

how much better do you like the one x vs the sg2? Im about to upgrade to one of the two and havent decided yet...The size of the one x may sway me the other way.

deakodude · May 2nd, 2012, 02:45 PM

Desire here too for me.

Martin L · May 2nd, 2012, 04:03 PM

Came from a Legend.
Still love the look and feel of that phone, but size does matter....

ifb-online · May 3rd, 2012, 04:33 AM

Although at the last minute I went for the Galaxy Note after obsessing about a One X for weeks

- I think I would have been very happy with a One X - I thought I would contribute here; I was a HTC Desire user before.

NikkiC · May 3rd, 2012, 05:46 AM

I came from an iPhone 4S. Not missing it at all and loving the One X.

Angelman · May 4th, 2012, 04:40 AM

Last phone I had was an Orange San Francisco (ZTE Blade) which was my first introduction to Android. As you can imagine the step up to the One X is a significant one!

However, I have owned both an iPhone 3G and an iPhone 4 in the past. Seems a long time ago now though and I'm now a complete Android convert, definitely.

galaxyian · May 4th, 2012, 04:51 AM

I come from a samsung galaxy gio. I had many issues with it's internal storage so i am relieved i wil get my htc one x tomorrow

May 4th, 2012, 05:02 AM

I have come from iPhone 4S... had an iphone in one guise or another since day one... the One X is my first Android phone.

Netherdragon · May 4th, 2012, 05:03 AM

Desire HD i what I was using.

bought it sim free and had a cheap ass Three sim only contract.

Upgraded 3 months early and got 3 to write off my early upgrade fees so went for the One X

So happy with it, especially as My Desire HD was really begining to chug in the last few months I was using it.

shawn1224 · May 4th, 2012, 05:53 AM

Been rocking the Inspire since launch date. I almost jumped on the Galaxy Note but I was kinda weary of the hefty price tag.

Can't wait to receive the One X, should be here by Monday.

ukplay · May 4th, 2012, 06:49 AM

Came from SGS2 and although that was a good phone i am more than happy with my One X :-)

flame10 · May 4th, 2012, 07:23 AM

Coming from a HD2, having spent 2.5 years with the HD2.. I feel awesome on the OneX

michiel.van.wessem · May 4th, 2012, 09:07 AM

I came from the HTC Desire. Pretty much got the One X the day it came out in the UK. Had to drop it back a week later since 3G was pretty much busted on my model. But the shop replaced it without any fuss. And the new one has been a star.

Funny you should mention that. I had to phone vodafone today as my 3G wasnt working, it only worked the day that i got it and hasnt since no matter what i tried. So today being the last day of my 7 days i phoned up and the replacement comes on tuesday.

Has anyone else suffered from lack of mobile internet.

Dudditz · May 4th, 2012, 06:48 PM

Came from the Desire, just upgraded and picked it up today.

Was tempted to hold out until the end of the month for the S3 but caved

Only had my mitts on it a couple of hours and I am delighted with the phone.

gracejourney · May 4th, 2012, 10:53 PM

I used the Google phone, Nexus One, for the past 2 years. It was a great phone, still is, but the One X is quite awesome. It helps that both are HTC phones... logic is so similar.

Got mine today and love it.

nettecris · May 4th, 2012, 11:58 PM

Been waiting a long time for a good phone.waiting for the release of the one x. Been out of comtract for a year now leaving lg arena never buying another lg product again most gruesome experince.this will be my first android phone. Looking forward to this phone.

Hoppy · May 5th, 2012, 04:42 AM

Upgraded from HTC Desire. Had the One X since day one in UK so about a month today... touch wood no problems so far, unbranded on Orange.

Fantastic phone.

Nickel Dare · May 5th, 2012, 09:12 AM

came from a Samsung Galaxy I7500

God praise the HTC One X

ajh94 · May 5th, 2012, 10:41 AM

Had the Samsung Galaxy S, then HTC Desire, then HTC Desire HD, then Samsung Galaxy S2, then Galaxy Nexus and now One X.. I love HTCs and have had enough of samsung and their overuse of cheap plastic now!

alexward · May 5th, 2012, 11:56 AM

Haven't got my OneX yet, getting it tomorrow, but I'm going from a Desire. Considered a lot of phones to upgrade to, even been waiting for the S3, but now i've seen and read about the S3, its the OneX for me.
Besides, I really like HTC Sense and the way HTC's work.
My Desires served me well.

blacktea · May 6th, 2012, 10:03 AM

Once you bond with the One X, you never go back

crookloq · May 6th, 2012, 03:25 PM

Had a Desire for 18 months and held out for something awesome to come along, lo and behold along came the one x, loving it!!

webbo254 · May 6th, 2012, 06:28 PM

I came from an iPhone 3GS, this is my first android phone and i love it

joshc01 · May 6th, 2012, 09:27 PM

I came from an iPhone 4. I had resontly got a new iPad and have had a MacBook pro for a long time now, so thought that I had to many apple devices and needed something fresh and new. For me the htc one x seemed like the best choice and so far I would have to say I'm very pleased. Only issues I have is that there are no pop ups notifications when then phones screen is off but other then that I love it.

Woodydog · May 7th, 2012, 03:07 AM

I still have my iPhone 4s.If I keep the one x I will sell my 4s. 4 years with iPhone I just need a change. The one x and the nexus are the only android that made me want to jump ship

Tomo1971 · May 7th, 2012, 11:22 AM

I went from an iPhone4 to using a blackberry bold 9900 but missed a couple of apps so started a new contract for a desire s that had unlimited data so I could use that for tethering etc (I work away from home a lot).

So, decided that running two handsets was too expensive so when the bold contract was up I bought the hox as sim free to replace the desire s.

Made a good choice with the handset, I love it. Just unsure of my decision to use Three UK as my network... Only time will tell on that one.

kilasix9 · May 7th, 2012, 12:09 PM

Came from the Samsung Skyrocket. Yeah, no contest.

+1 on the Skyrocket. I had the rocket for about 3 months because my previous phone, Atrix, broke. The skyrocket was great but the X is just awesome.

Its the first time in a LONG time that I dont have my sights set on another phone on the horizon. I could definitely be happy with this phone for....ugh....a year??

05GT · May 7th, 2012, 08:36 PM

Samsung Galaxy Note

GetZwole · May 7th, 2012, 08:47 PM

IPhone 4 and I love the change. Never going back.

deakodude · May 8th, 2012, 01:44 AM

HTC Desire here previously enjoyed it for 2 years especially when rooted.Know rooted my HOX and hoping for the same good times.

bluemax1962 · May 8th, 2012, 01:43 PM

This is my first HTC love it so far. Samsung Captivate crashed all the time for no reason. Dropped calls and just shut off. Hoping for a good change.

shauny13 · May 8th, 2012, 02:33 PM

Another ex desire owner here.
