Bad battery, bad buttons
12 years ago
The phone is light, thin and fairly indestructible. I can't even scratch the plastic back or screen. While it is obviously well-made, it feels "plasticky" to me.
The screen is very nice, images and pictures are smooth and clear. And the sound is louder and clearer than I could imagine a phone could be.
Tethering and wifi have both worked well when needed/available.
I had no issues with the camera but didn't use it too much (I'm not a big picture taker).
The buttons are difficult to see/feel in the dark or in a pocket until the phone is picked up. Grabbing it, it's hard not to push one of them accidentally and that can start applications like the camera or a bing search screen or otherwise change your volume settings. It's particularly annoying when I'm trying to use the flashlight in unexpected manual work situations.
The phone eats through it's battery fast. My phone is 1.5 years old and 3-4 hours of on-and-off web surfing on message boards will kill a full cell. It recharges very very slowly using a usb connection to a PC - sometimes it will appear to be charging even when it isn't.
There are a couple of issues with the operating system but nothing major. Coming from an iPhone 3s I remember noticing that the screen was less responsive and less easy to "type" on but it wasn't by much and I don't notice it now. There's also a little clipping with IE - in landscape mode the bottom right edge goes off the screen. I got used to that also.
It's nice being able to play around with the tile sizes and arrangements. I also like that the phone can be used as a usb storage device albeit there's not much space for large images/videos (vs my old iPhones that had to be jailbroken to allow that). Otherwise it would be hard for me to explain to someone what the advantages of Windows are over iOS.
I'm not an apps user other than Kindle and the flashlight so won't comment on that other than to lament about the lack of bank apps for uploading checks.
This is my 3rd smartphone and while I had regrets about losing my old iPhone I will have none when I replace this with something with similar features.
No, I do not recommend this product.

Good smart phone for med users, not those who think its a computer
12 years ago
for a user who isn't to hot on running a batt down to the last drop but well ok to make uses as radio or music stream, movies well maybe one movie at a 2 hour length would be good the phone tend to get hot being on all the time, connect the external wire or some sort of good speaker system you have a nice output in sound really good bass no eq though, so make sure the external speakers have some sort of eq, its well ok for making it in to an ipod/mp3 player maybe movie center as well.
batt life well depends on the use of how long you want to be on speaker talking or some games or like i said watching a movie but the batt id have to say does last, watch for to many the running task in back ground this can also play a part to lowering batt,
watch being on the wifi all the time that plays a part to draining batt with facebook, skype, twitter, or other apps like scout gps, it wouldn't even stop scout gps but i think thats just a glitch in the app it self,
other then that the back light fades on normal hand held talking, the main thing i hated more is how you cant see the phone in the day light, but to answer the phone without needing to see it you can work with the setting.
many are right on apps not many and i have reviewed some. i dont trust a lot of developers for apps unless its from the main company though, i have seen questions asking for details after getting them, i wouldn't give to my best friend ffs, most seem to want to get in to bank accounts or they have access to the phone so yea paranoia set in on the apps found.
as most creators or developers abuse windows creating unlawful apps or programs anyway to get your id or bank info.
so be careful choosing apps remove asap if you feel they dont fit ya fancy.
read the reviews too most importantly, how ever im not a fan of windows after the xp, and windows 2000 where you had better freedom of choice, as where linux its all about the freedom of choice in all areas, windows copy catted mac, linux and mix a bit of widows in to the windows vista to the windows 8, some windows geeks will disagree but they lack the education in linux to prove that and i can bet im more safer on linux then any widows systems but working with windows 7 i was ok to keep using windows, now the os 8 for pc i hated very much wont ever use it ill stay with windows 7, but windows 8 i feel belongs on the phone its just a much better smooth run, as im sure the surface tablet will to.
with a windows your block from correcting any programming as where in linux and as experienced in pcs or operating systems linux is best and you dont need decompression programs to fix screw ups or take out the traps people abuse programming to steal your information, id , and bank info, and less hijakes and vary little viruses and its more stable then any windows i have ever worked with, most of those issues in a windows device or pc are designed to screw up all windows,
so you have to really look in to protection on a windows phone as well as its pcs os too.
this phone only has available space after taking out the many useless paying apps to gain up to 5 something gb you get less in its space of 8gb i was vary un happy of that.
so for people that dont expect to use the phone like an ipod and expect to use it as a pc for all works. the phone is best for the economist user not the abusing user who has the think they need the phone when crapping in the bathroom or always got to gossip or talk about people all day on the phone. i'm not unhappy of this phone frankly im impressed my self.
those who have boohooed and cry you need to look at the positive side not the negative side for the uses this phone has what most says negative there is very little to boo hoo about its a phone ffs not a computer.
so in all i did abuse this phone only a few issues was found to be of a problem not what al had to say fully negative about.
Prosover all a good phone with fast responce, use head phones to talk, good mp3 player if not using many apps, will hold batt life limited on uses up to 2 days, some apps useful and works just fine and safe, haven't had wifi issues
Consone issue a one time ending of call then redialed, one time phone restart by it self, get a bit over heated from long use, not a lot of good apps that is trusting
Yes, I recommend this product.

Good for a little while
12 years ago
This phone was very good for the first close 9 months. The appstore is a massive drawback it does not have a real instagram or many other popular apps. Everything else was fine until the phone said my SIM card was missing or invalid. AT&T put my SIM card in to begin with and took it out and put it back in when I took it to the store. However that isn't the only problem. It has just recently randomly turning off during calls, browsing, texting, anytime it turns off at least twice a day. Not a good phone. My lesson is looks may be deceiving...
Proslook, largeness, camera
Conssim card errors, random shutdowns, really bad app and music store
No, I do not recommend this product.

Very Poor and Limited. Choose a Different Smartphone!
12 years ago
I was so excited to get this as my first smart phone because I was unable to get a Galaxy. I heard the phone was great. When I first got the phone i was excited. It had cool live tiles and you could hook up facebook and your text messages could be seen in strings and you could changethe screen and color setting around.
Then I found that the camera was really sensitive and most pictures turn out blury. The shound when you are actually speaking on the phone is terrible. I am big into using Instagram and snapchate along with tons of other apps. But on Windows the only apps you can get are the ones that Windows has created or supports. Neither of these are avaliable and tons of other apps even avaliable to normal HTC or Android devices are not avaliable on this phone. I also cant stand that there is not enough memory on this phone. Only 8 GB and you can't put in any type of memory card or sd card, so I am constantly having to delete and redownload certain apps so that I can use certain apps.
It also has the problem of turning on and off by itself multimple times when nothing is anywhere near the power button. It will shut off on me in the middle of a text or a call, etc. and It takes me 10 minutes toget it back to normal. This happens at least two or three times a week.
I would strongly advise you to get almost any other smart phone than this phone! I am so bummed it nowhere as great as I thought. I will never get another Windows phone.
Prosbattery life, color
Conscamera, memory space, sound, very limited apps, turns on and off by itself over and over again
No, I do not recommend this product.

Q: Does any mapping apps work with the 8x Windows Smart Phone?
13 years ago1 Answer
- A: The Windows Phone 8x by HTC runs Bing maps powered by Nokias Navteq service. The Nokia Navteq mapping is arguably the best on the market, especially because of their offline maps. While their are no official Google Maps in the marketplace, there are a few free third party apps available.13 years agoHelpful?
Q: Does streaming radio also mean you can get local fm stations in my area?
13 years ago1 Answer
- A: Streaming radio refers to internet radio. Im not sure as to windows phone 8 having it but most definitely windows phone 7 had FM radio built in.13 years agoHelpful?
Q: would you recommend this as a business phone? I was always a windows user and now starting a non profit. Will need to replace my IPhone. Are the new apps being developed for windows 8 and 10? Plan on getting the Surface tablet and want eerything to work together.
13 years ago1 Answer
- A: I would actually reccommend that. Windows phones are more for business then fun and games( since less then 200,000 apps in the market place). I would also go for the 8X especially since its HTC and it contains beats audio which is a premium audio source. So for your non-profit I would say windows phone is good but for a small business for profit then Android all the way.13 years agoHelpful?
