Yeah, I've already got my heart set on that as being my next phone, the only slight disappointment I have is that it appears to be white.

It will spend most of it's time in a case if I get it, but I'd still have preferred it be brown/black/grey.

I know what you mean. I like the black finish on phones personally, here is a charcoal grey almost black version. I figure around june something from HTC will come to sprint from pass releases..

Despite new on-screen buttons on ICS, I am really surprised that none of the new phones announced at MWC actually has no physical buttons....
Up until now, Galaxy Nexus still holds that title....
I wonder why manufacturers still adds physical buttons...

Honestly, I looked at that thing and just laughed. It's laughably huge IMO. Personally, I think the GNex is too big. To me if you get much bigger than 4.3" then you need to hit the 7" size and call yourself a tablet.
 
What caught my attention was the Galaxy Note 10.1 (I'm considering scrapping plans of buying a tablet now and waiting for that) and Nokia's crazy 41mp camera phone (can shoot up to 38mp). I know the latter is not Android but its what made me go WTF out of everything out there, after the GNote 10.1 made me do a quieter wtf with the multiple screen capability out of the box.

Agreed. The HTC One S at 4.3" is about my max. It's coming to T-Mobile and might be my next phone. The One X is going to AT&T but not the quad-core Tegra 3. AT&T's version of the One X gets the same dual-core S4 Snapdragon as the One S.

I like the GNEX from the first time I went and look at it so the size does not bother me. I personally like HTC and how they build their phones, yes 4.3'' is nice on my EVO but that .3 is not a huge splash to me.

For me it makes the difference between being able to reach my thumb across the screen or not. On the GNex I can't reach my thumb horizontally across the screen. To be fair, I have small hands but for me any phone where I can't reach my thumb horizontally across the screen is too big and any phone where I have to stretch is pushing it.

I would consider myself an HTC fanboy, but there's no way I would buy that phone. The hardware is nice. No question about it, but it's just too huge.
 
HTC's mostly unlocked bootloaders will prevent me from getting another one unless the dev community figures out a full S-OFF path for the device. So the One X looks nice, but I wouldn't get one until it's been proven to be fully rootable.

I don't buy any device unless it's rootable. HTC's tend to be and they tend to be friendly to the dev community as well.
