I recently (and luckly) dropped and broke the screen on my HTC 8X, and honestly im glad I did. Im on Tmobile and signed up for there protection plan that will replace your phone no matter what you do with it. When I contacted them for a replacement, they sadly informed me that they no longer have the 8x in stock, and would need to talk a substitute. They offered me some crappy Android phone, or the Lumia 925. Hell ya!
The 8x has a great form factor, but the soft coat they put on there polycarb is a liability. It gathers dirt from your pockets and peels off really easy. Horrible design!!! After a few months, my 8x looked like hell. Before my 8x, I had an HTC HD2 for over 3 years and not a single mark on it! What a difference. Plus, I have had the 8x for over 8 months and not a single update to the phone, and no real exclusive software. Then you look at the Nokia camp and see every week exclusive software and updates to fix issues. It was a no-brainer to jump that ship!!!
One of the things I quickly found out is the car charger I used on my 8x just fine, does NOT work on the 925? What should I specifically look for in a car charger for the 925?
Also, what sort of screen protectors do you guys recommend?
Im still trying to figure out if I want to make 3D printed cases like I did on the 920 or 8x, but it will cost me over $200 to do that and im not sure the level of interest. The charging back plate is already really nice.
Well anyways, its time to say good buy to my 8X...
