In the write up, he says that it comes with Beats Audio. Unless it's just the logo you're looking for, which in that case I'd be willing to bet there's some pretty nice looking decal sheets out there LOL.
 
The only thing that I can imagine about a square screen mask is that they are shooting for the 2-year upgrade market on the Evo or something. The 3D was curved.

Still can't say if what we're seeing is final or prototype, but we'll know in a few hours.

If it indeed has a removable battery, maybe the entire chassis has changed. :confused:
 
It baffles me as to why the kickstand is above the battery. I think it'd look so much better below it(Not to mention it'd allow the kickstand to work in portrait mode). I do however suppose this will be really stable. As for the overall design, I'm fairly confident the retail backing will be different. I honestly can't imagine that two toned backing passing.
 
Personally, the international version looks much sexier. But I'm not going to make a final judgement until we see this thing later tonight.
 
To me there is no comparison between the international version and the Sprint version. Sprints is just outright ugly as hell. It looks like the internals will be awesome though.

Maybe something different coming tonight but knowing Sprint this is exactly what we will get as a final product.
 
it might be like this girl i new....

in pictures.. she looked scary ...nasty...
in person.. she looked cute...

so... hopefully ... once we have better clearer pictures.. or see it in person... she will be cuter.
 
Really excited about this one. it seems like a true Evolution from the previous iterations of the Evo. The kickstand is back, along with the dedicated camera button. Hopefully, they will throw in the 2650 mAh battery. Pair that up with Sense 4.0, ICS 4.0 and the new 28nm architecture Krait processor.

SOMEBODY TAKE MY MONEY!

Interesting pictures, supports the Pocketnow shots from yesterday.

Looking like Covert_Death got the kickstand mostly right.

But seriously - can the ultra hip, anti-Sense bloggers please move out of their parents basements and just shut up about how superior they are to Sense? I have been hearing the bleating of that flock since Eclair.

To the bloggers who read our pre-release threads (yes, you, you're not fooling anyone) - root and lose Sense if you don't prefer it. We get it. For the millionth boring time.

Android is all about choice.

Just tell us how the phone does, not how hip you are to Ice Cream.

Yeah, I hate that when reviews center around the UI! Makes absolutely NO sense (no pun intended). The reviewers aren't informing consumers of all the capabilities of Android (even without rooting). One of my best friends (diehard Apple guy) was caught up in reading all the reviews and one of the main things I told him is to not pay attention to what the bloggers/reporters say about the UI. At that time, he didn't understand and ended up choosing his secondary phone partially based on Sense UI.

After he got the phone, I sent him a link that I made in the Photon thread of all the different Launchers/3rd Party UI's that can run as overlays and probably will work smoother/better than Sense UI. He went pretty wild at that point, downloaded LPP, Go Launcher Ex and ultimately purchased SPB (even I haven't ever wanted to bay $14 for an app...ever). Nontheless, one mistake he was making off the bat was he was paying for apps immediately, as long as they had a good rating. I had to get him out of his "apple habit" where a lot of the good apps are paid apps. Told him, "majority of the apps that you buy in the market have an alternative free version that is absolutely just as good." He would share apps with me that were paid apps and I'd turn around and send him the link to a free app that did the same exact thing...hilarious!

Okay, enough with my soapbox speech, I'm really excited to see/compare this phone and whatever Motorola comes up with to compare/contrast. Minimum requirement for me to jump on my last gold premiere upgrade is quad-core processor. After that, it's just a matter of which one will suit my needs better. So, I won't be lining up or pre-ordering this one, but it'll definitely be something I'll consider once Motorola's Superphone is announced.

amen, i love it when my carrier listens to me... i seriously think we got everything we wanted. if there is something people were asking for from the ONe X and it's not there, it's not important. this thing has EVERYTHING

if there is a lesson to learn its just as you said, if you want FULL functionality and you want everything we asked for (sd card, kickstand, battery door, blah blah blah) then we may loose aesthetics.. but honestly, with a phone this amazing who gives a damn, i'd buy it in pink!

The only things I don't like are the red accents (not a big fan of red) and the fact that they haven't figured out a way to keep the overall size of the phone down, but increase the screen size. With Ice Cream Sandwich having the capabilities for on screen soft keys, I thought they'd be able to accomplish that.

I didn't really like the size of the ET4G, so if this is bigger, I may not jump back on the HTC or EVO bandwagon.

ONE X (134.36 x 69.9 x 8.9 mm) VS. Epic Touch (130 x 70 x 9.6 mm)

So if the Sprint version is around the size of the International version it will be very close.

Thanks for posting the dimensions. Yeah, I just have to hold the phone in person in order to really tell how comfortable it'll be. Based on the international version dimensions, seems like it's less thick and slightly less wide than the Epic Touch 4G, which could make it easier to hold with one hand. Glad I'm going to be holding out until Motorola announces their Sprint phone. That'll give me some time to do size comparison and determine if the move back to HTC will be worth it, now that I'm so used to Motorola.

It's less wide by .1 mm I don't think you will notice that haha. I hope Sprint's version is as thin or at least thinner than the E4GT.

Yeah, the width won't make much of a difference at all, but the thickness might play a factor in comfortability holding the phone. That's my main concern.

Strangely enough, the Photon had very similar dimensions to the EVO 4G, but for whatever reason, the design felt so much more comfortable to hold the phone. I'm hoping that's the case with the EVO One vs. the ET4G because I really didn't feel comfortable holding the ET4G with 1 hand.

Ok I go my White Unlocked Version of the One X in this morning. I also have the Epic Touch (SII)

I can tell you size wise they are almost Identical.

The one X is a little bit thinner. Also the One X has a very small bezel. Its almost like all screen. One X also a little bit lighter.

From looking at the leaked pictures there is no way the Sprint Version will be as thin as the International version.

I guess with LTE and the bigger battery that is to be expected.
