Seriously, I don't know where to begin to express how disappointed I am in this phone. Thoroughly regret not getting the Lumia 920 at the time. I chose the 8X as I liked how it felt in my hand better and reviews were (in general) very positive. But once again, I was proven that reviews don't tell you anything about long term use. I really like WP8, despite its flaws and don't plan to go back to iOS anytime soon, but this will have been my last HTC phone.
I bought the phone in January this year, so pretty much 6 months ago and the list of stuff that is malfunctioning, performing sub-par or straight up broken is long.
Buying a Lumia 925 or the new 1020(?) as soon as I can.

- Black coating has come off all 4 corners, revealing the shiny black plastic underneath. Hideous.
- The loudspeaker started rattling and sounding distorted a few months in.
- The loudness level when making a call is waaaay to low. Never had this issue with other phones.
- Screen scratches very easily, dispite never placing it in my pocket near keys or coins
- Still suffers from random reboots... seriously, they had enough time to fix this.
