Beautiful LCD screen. Smooth user experience. Good battery life
No expandable memory. Camera not on par with other HTCs. HTC apps are a bland assortment
HTC's Windows Phone 8X needed that "one more thing" to justify its place among the premium phones, but fails to deliver. It's a good phone, just not a great one....

If you want an amazing Windows Phone 8 handset that Nokia doesn't make, the 8X is the handset for you. It's sexy, slim, feature-packed and specced to the nines with a price that's nice to match...
Lovely balanced feel; 4G connection; Beats Audio "headphone amp" helps to provide tons of sound for wired earphones;
No microSD; 16GB storage with only 12GB free isn't really much these days; A deafening camera and audio bug: don't take pictures with headphones in; Not enough apps in the ecosystem;
If you're after a great Windows Phone 8 experience but haven't been at all intrigued by the big bulky 920 put forth thus far by Nokia, HTC's 8X could be the solution you're looking for.We're still not sure about that camera bug that seems to leave us deaf...
Fresh and attractive design, Excellent screen, Slick and fast performance

Abstract: Nokia's not the only smartphone manufacturer getting a bite at the Windows Phone 8 pie. No, sir. HTC also wants in on the action, and it's going to get it with the HTC 8X — a curvy new addition to HTC's Windows Phone fraternity.AU Editor's Note: this is a...
We haven't tested either handset yet, but on paper, Nokia's Lumia 920 is looking like a better buy for Windows Phone enthusiasts who want to get on board with the new version than HTC's Windows Phone 8X. Nokia's handset supports 4G speeds in Australia, w...

HTC's Windows Phone 8X is a delightful phone with excellent performance, decent battery life, a gorgeous screen in a unique form factor. It has the promise of being one of the best phone's on the market, but is disadvantaged by a half-baked app store and a lack of Nokia's proprietary apps. Nevertheless, the 8X has a great camera, best-in-class sound quality with Beats Audio and a powerful headphone amplifier, and a number of features that make it worth your time. Considering it is being heavily discounted on both Rogers and Bell at the moment, it may be worth looking into....

Windows Phone Store no match for App Store and Google Play for app selection. Little in the way of differentiating apps from HTC
