As we said in our hands on preview
The Windows Phone 8X design is certainly striking. Think of the Nokia Lumi 800’s “pillow” shape with straighter lines and you’re not far off. Unfortunately
We were given the black version for review
Which is the runt of the litter
And utterly boring to look at. We’ve seen the purple number in the flesh before however
And it’s a lot more exciting - as

We have to be frank
As striking as the design it
It’s not nearly as premium as the beautiful curved casing of the HTC One X and X+ Android phones. And as good as the camera is
It lacks the fantastic burst mode of HTC’s Android phones
And their ability to take photos whilst recording video.And nor is there a 4G data option on the way
Which seems like a bit of an oversight when a 4G HTC One X
Windows Phone still lacks apps
Vague physical buttons
Nowhere near enough Windows Phone apps
HTC hasn't developed any value for the Windows Phone platform
Camera isn't brilliant
Battery life is average
Camera lacks stabilisation
Windows Phone Store lagging behind
Relatively low onboard storage
No MicroSD
No 4G
Small choice of apps
Disappointing battery life
Lack of memory card slot
Physical buttons
Accessibility and sensitivity could be better
Camera interface isn't great
Some major apps still not available for Windows Phone 8

Great performance, Stunning display, Excellent front facing camera, Solid built
Lack of expandable storage options
We absolutely love what HTC has done with the 8X and it's definitely a great phone to have if you love the new Tiles system of WP8. The lack of a expandable storage slot is regrettable, but does not take away what the phone has to offer.(previously publi...
The WP8X by HTC has huge potential to be a killer signature device for Microsoft's latest mobile operating system, but its flaws and stiff competition threaten to overshadow its strengths. Out of the three WP8 flagship devices announced, the WP8X by HTC s...

Windows Phone still lacks apps, Vague physical buttons
What you have here is some fantastic hardware and a beautiful new OS. But the whole package has an Achilles' heel.The first question you need to ask yourself is whether Windows Phone 8 is for you. So, take a look at your current smartphone and work out wh...

Hardware design, Windows Phone UI's smooth interface, Live Tiles
Lack of popular apps, Non userreplaceable battery, Nonexpandable storage
After using it for almost a month as my daily driver, I think the HTC Windows Phone 8X is a great smartphone. It would have been greater if the apps that I use on my iPhone 5 are also present in the Windows Phone Marketplace. If you're the type of person ...
Absolutely amazing feel, Beautiful OS, Smart, even by smartphone, standards
Limited apps, for now, Limited onboard storage, Limited Google services functionality

The HTC 8X is a solid, top-level, feature packed Windows Phone 8 device. Compared to the Lumia 920 and 820, the HTC 8X shines when it comes to form factor and build (Lumia 920 wins in camera and Nokia apps). However we understand if you're apprehensive in...
