Windows Phone 8X review topic.

[Winterfang]

Can someone tell me, how do I do Bold or change the colors of the lettering? I want to make the main topic easier to read.

That's the case of every review so far. I updated the post with a couple more reviews. Here are things all have in common.

1-Reception and call quality is amazing.
2-FFC wide angle is useful but the lack of quality disappoints.
3-Best looking device in a long time.
4-Amazing screen.
5-Windows Phone OS is holding the device back.

I think number 5 is just down to reviews being done by either IOS or Android users who are not used to WP I have been using WP from the start and would not switch back to either IOS or Android even if they do have more app's. I recently owned a Nexus 7 tablet with Jelly Bean the latest version of Android and despite their being a lot more apps most of it to be honest is cr*p I prefer quality over quantity.

Ha, you think that's bad, you should go read the threads for people complaining about AT&T. All they got was "November".

HTC 8X In The House! Cameraphone Shots Online

In the end, the HTC 8X has a decent camera for still shots. In fact, it's up there with the best 8-Megapixel cameraphones on the market.

A camera exclusive review is a pretty cool idea. So sad that it was so short, the review could really benefit for some extra time.

Thanks a lot for sharing.

Paul Thurrott seems to be in love with the 8X:

The CNET guy loses all cred with me for saying ClearBlack tech just results in deeper onscreen blacks. Research much?!

He sort of contradicted himself when he said "I?ve become somewhat obsessed about smart phone camera quality" and "The 8X?s 8 megapixel camera is absolutely good enough for me" in the same paragraph lol.

No doubt. Look no farther than the 920 and its sub par blacks.

That's a very fanboish review, it was a little painful to read. That being said the 8X has to be good for something to act like that. Also nobody has tried the yellow one, weird.

I have no doubt the 8X is a very good phone. In fact I was on the fence about getting either the 8X or the Lumia 920, but opted for the 920. But ya, when Paul gets enamored with something, he turns into a major ******.

I've watched phonedog Aaron's reviews on YouTube and Anandtech's preview. I think it's going to be a really good phone.

Haha, yeah I didn't say it was the most unbiased review. He does make some pretty ridiculous statements. But what I found interesting was that his unabashed love seems to come mainly from the design and feel of the phone. Seems like everyone agrees that the design is a strong point.

 

[brmiller1976]

The fact he loved it over the 920 speaks volumes, IMO.

 

[baseballbert]

Agreed. It's looking like this generation's belle of the ball!

 

[Winterfang]

I think is the best looking phone since the N9. Looks like a Natural evolution of that design, I can't wait to see it in person.
