New 8XT Phone from Sprint the same as an 8X phone?

[Miles of Lief]

Does anyone know if the new 8XT phone from Sprint is the same as the 8X? Or is a new updated version of the phone as far a materials/feel/features ect.

looks to be design and spec-wise an 8s

It's a hybrid of an X and an S. Slightly inferior processor clock speed, inferior screen resolution, but with "Boom Sound" (eh) and SD card support. It's an overall budget version of an 8X; basically it's HTC recycling last year's ideas because they're really not committed to the platform. We'll see if they get back on board when 8.1 hits.
