- Available storage is less due to phone software.
- Network bands in regions other than Europe and Asia Pacific may be different, depending on the mobile operator and your location. Upload and download speeds also depend on the mobile operator.
- NFC availability depends on the mobile operator and your location. Please check with your mobile operator.
- Battery times (talk time, standby time, and more) are subject to network and phone usage.
A Standby time specification ("specification") is an industry standard that is only intended to allow comparison of different mobile devices under the same circumstances. Power consumption in a standby state is strongly dependent on factors including but not limited to network, settings, location, movement, signal strength and cell traffic . Comparisons of different mobile devices using such a specification can therefore only be done in a controlled laboratory environment . When using any mobile device in real life circumstances for which the mobile device is intended, the standby time could be considerably lower and will be strongly dependent on the factors as mentioned above.
Note: Specifications are subject to change without prior notice

Rated 5 out of 5 by JLeif Everything is great, minus compatibilty with BMW...
I've just purchased an Windows 8X HTC phone (11/24/2012)
The phone would not connect via Bluetooth, so I have had BMW Service department update my car's Software/firmware (2006 325i)
An the phone still behaves the same way So, called Verizon, who put me in touch with HTC Service/Tech help, and it is all boiling down to HTC releasing an Windows 8 phone bluetooth stack update, so that the PUSH functions work correctly with the car.
If your Windows 8X HTC phone doesn't connect with your BMW, Please contact HTC an submit a trouble ticket with them. The more input they get, the faster we will have a solution!
Thanks,
20+ yrs Verizon user, lover of windows and of BMW's

Rated 4 out of 5 by killamikes having issues
i love the phone is really fast and a lot of cool features but the only thing im hating right now is that for some reason the phone sends out multiple texts i went to server provider they changed chip and its still doing it so its either a phone issue or a software issue

Rated 3 out of 5 by checkher Phone improvements
I love the HTC Windows 8 phone but it can most definitely have some improvements that should have been already added.No email has a select all or empty folder,still have to individually check each message to do so.I do not like the no fm tuner,I realize is it just a money grabber leaving this option out.The phone needs updates soon I hope to fix the bugs,or update features.It would be nice if the built in browser has a webpage password remembered feature as older phone have and this new phone doesn't.I take it,it is another money grabber to have to purchase such features now.The kids or children's app preinstalled should have an uninstall feature for the ones that have no use,and to free space on a limited 13 gig free space for user when all is said and done.Same with Xbox feature,its a waste of space for some.Also not one phone I have tried to tap and send even with another HTC windows 8 phone works. I also miss the screen protector that most phones originally came with,seems like everyone is cheeping out on an expensive phone to purchase.There seems to be an issue with tap and send and Bluetooth disconnecting issue.My last missing feature is a lock text message to save,I really like that feature and is not an option.Thank you,I would like a feedback from HTC support

Rated 4 out of 5 by Akshat86 Sound Equalizer
Awesome phone and very good experience. I've used almost every high-end phone from HTC and did not had any problem. But with this phone I'm little bit disappointed as it does not have a sound equalizer and also the quality of earphones provided is not at all good. My ear starts paining after 1 hour of continuous listening. Please change the earphones and also release an update for HTC 8X which should has a sound equalizer as it is a mandate functionality and comes integrated in each and every phone. It will help and contribute in the success of HTC 8X.

Rated 5 out of 5 by HectorC Best phone I have ever owned !
I love the 8X phone and I love the Windows Phone 8 operating system. I already owned a Windows Phone 7 and I enjoyed using it very much but Windows Phone 8 is a big improvement. The camera is pretty decent and the sound quality is awsome, especially when using earphones with Beats on. I wish HTC will provide some good apps like Nokia and it would be nice if they had more accessories for this phone. Well, you can't have everything but I am very satisfied and I have no problem recommending the Windows Phone 8X to everybody.

I have for years been one of the Apple freaks that waited in line to get the 3gs then the 4 then the 4s then of course the 5. I am DONE, I played with the HTC 8x and all I can say is OMG, this is the best, fastest and most stable phone I have EVER owned, keep up the good work. Thank you

Rated 5 out of 5 by JeepIslanderGuyNOLA Sexiest Phone Ever
Bought the Nokia 920 but kept going back to the AT&T store to feel up the 8X and finally succumbed. This is really an amazing phone, perfect for WP8 and has enough of everything to satisfy. I love this phone. Should be called much more than a "phone."
