So I knew the horror stories from my Android fans who had bad experiences with their HTC Android phones, and I was so excited to get the latest WP8 hotness at launch that I grabbed an HTC 8X. Everyone talks about how fantastic it is, and honestly, if it I didn't have so many damned issues with it later on, it would still be fantastic. However, it's been about 7 months in now, and I'd like to post this disclaimer.
1st - SIM Problem. Will not go away. My phone constantly thinks the SIM is bad. Phone constantly needs rebooted. At first it didn't happen at all. Then it started happening only a couple of times. Now it happens constantly. Really annoying.
2nd - Phone powering itself off. Again, didn't happen before. Now it's constantly. Phone persistently turns itself off in my pocket. Annoying as all Hell.
Work phone, and I have *multiple* of these phones deployed, so I am quite pissed at HTC over this. Luckily, our work plan allows upgrades each year as opposed to every 2 years, so I can get everyone moved to 928s fairly cheaply.
Disappointed. I really loved my HTC for awhile, but I can't deal with these issues constantly. I'd rather have something a bit more solid. Next time, going with Nokia.
