Having trouble getting around the 16GB of RAM...

[KupKrazy]

I don't mind the non-removable battery too much nor do I mind the LTE/dual-core tradeoff. However, I'm having a hard time with the 16GB of onboard storage as opposed to the 32GB in the international versions. Anyone know why this was limited in the U.S. to just 16GB? I do store a lot of music on my phone even though I use Google Music cloud as well - and the 16GB is a bit disturbing. I'm not sure I can get around that. Darn - I really was looking forward to this too.

ouch, really? hang on so surely this is more One S spec rather than X then?

Yup, it's only the U.S. version for AT&T that is limited to 16GB it seems. The non-AT&T ones seem to have a 32GB on board storage. The price to pay for LTE network coverage I guess thought I don't know why the on board storage had to be lessened unless there was no space for it.

That being said, I don't think you'll see any such limitations in your version available there!

sooo...the US versions are basically a HTC One S-XL? rather than the One X? i.e. a One S with a bigger screen?

That's pretty much what it looks like, yeah.

why don't you just buy the international version and use it without Lte?

I guess then he wouldnt get a subsidised phone out of a deal? and if your area had LTE...wouldnt you want the fastest connection possible? I certainly would reconsider my options if the UK had LTE readily available...

depends on the person. at home, work, or school, i have WiFi anyways, so data speeds never mattered much to me.

Speculation is that Sprint will get the phone as well....Hopefully and if they get the phone it come with 32GB of onboard storage! As I to have a lot of music and video on my phone!

Yes, the cost would be subsidized by AT&T but apart from that, I did consider the international version. I am also a "grandfathered" unlimited data user with AT&T and they recently clarified their data throttling for those with unlimited data. The limit before they start throttling is 3GB/mo, but for those who use LTE, it is 5GB/mo. So, I'm trying to figure out how much that is worth it to me.
