    MobileCiti, the picture is of the blue 8S, not 8X.
    Here's a proper picture for you to use: http://store.threestore.net/wp-content/uploads/2012/11/HTC-W…
    I'm guessing why you haven't got any upvotes yet is because of that picture, as the previous 8X deal at $269 was gobbled up quickly.

    Can someone give a decent review on these? They seam to be pretty decent but I'm a little concerned about two things:

    1. Its a windows phone (i.e. blue screen of death etc etc)
    2. Support for Apps (i.e. is there much in way of apps out there)?

    Cheers

      Plenty of apps available, www.windowsphone.com.au

      • giventofly on 14/06/2013 - 23:39

        You can get the blue boot loop of death. Which I had on my Lumia 920.

      1. Windows Phone is different to Windows on your computer. As far as I know, you can't get a blue screen of death on a Windows Phone. The operating system itself is generally rock solid. No random crashes, force closes, locks, etc.
      2. Windows Phone has support for most of the popular apps but not all of them. If there is a particular app you need, you better check the Marketplace if they have it first.

      Battery life is pretty good in general after the Windows Phone Portico update (Apart from some weird problems with displaying the correct %, think it's fixed now on mine).

      Just my experience, I'm quite conservative user - turn off all unnecessary connections (NFC, Bluetooth, sometimes 3G) and I can get through a whole day with battery at the 60-ish.

      but lack of app though, nokia has much more apps.

    • kingkenny7 on 14/06/2013 - 16:32

      I can say it is comparable spec to Lumia 820/920 (slightly Lumia's better IMAO)
      but the price is in the same level with 520/620. Defo specification itself is much better than 520/620.

    Too bad I already grabbed the black one on the previous sale, but been very happy with the phone so far (though I did have the HTC Mozart before, so coming from a WP background). Battery life is only so-so, I'm not a heavy user so it's OK, but that'd be the only concern I'd raise.

    Definitely a great price overall and if my delivery experience is anything to go by you'll get it pretty swiftly too.

      You can uninstall all stock Telstra apps on the device by holding down the app in the Settings menu and clicking Uninstall. Unlike Android you do not need to root the device to uninstall most carrier apps. The only exception will be the Telstra logo that is flashed once upon booting the phone.

  • GreatWhiteHunter on 14/06/2013 - 16:58

    How much better is the 8X compared to the 8S???

    Is it worth more than double the money??

    • brent3000 on 14/06/2013 - 17:06

      Yes,

      The 8x is the larger version and also had 4G

      Its like the 820 vs 920

      • iChopstick on 14/06/2013 - 17:09

        Its more a case of 820 vs. 520, only 520 > 8S in term of real life usability since it comes with 8gb instead of 4gb in the 8S.

        • kingkenny7 on 14/06/2013 - 17:18

          Yeah, plus Windows 8 phones don't save their apps to SD Cards, so it means 4gb is a true restriction.

          I'm using Lumia 720(8gb) and already 4.2gb used.. I'm not a heavy phone user at all though. All the music and vids are in MicroSD Card..

        • BlueJay87 on 14/06/2013 - 20:04

          Actually the 8x is equivalent to the 920 as it has the HD screen.

        • iChopstick on 14/06/2013 - 20:27

          Which is about the only advantage it has over 820.

          If you compare it to 920, 8X falls short in just about every category, minus the price of course.

        • BlueJay87 on 14/06/2013 - 20:38

          I'd definitely rather the 920 if the prices were equal.

          Still, I'd much prefer the 8X to the 820.

        • iChopstick on 14/06/2013 - 20:44

          Each to their own.

          Though I have to admit that 8X is gorgeous device, and cannot be turned down at this price.

  • Corey on 14/06/2013 - 17:06

      Telstra has been marketing the handset as a 4G capable phone, and all 4G services in Aus currently operates on the same band - 1800 MHz. So yes, it should work with Optus 4G.

    It looks like an awesome phone with great specs, but my understanding is that if you rely heavily on google services (e.g. gmail, multiple gmail aliases, google calendar) that this phone will not be of much use to you. Pity… I'd bite if not for that.
