As we said in our hands on preview

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

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 design & build quality, Great battery life, Live Tiles and groups shine for sharing and communicating
