Ok I have used the HTC One X for over a month and it was very fast and audio quality was great and so was the battery life. With HTC's new "Sence" it has had tons of tweaks so the user exprience to make it more enjoyable.
However here are the downsides or things that were rather annoying one thing is it seems that multitasking is disabled but a quick fix is to root the phone and install something that can manage the mines and change to something less aggressive like 22 24 30. Now I have a HTC One V as my primary device and noticed that sometimes the phone can stutter a tad bit when running games. With Sence using less RAM it does feel a bit slower than my 600MHZ processor optimus V but it does seem HTC is trying to improve but it does not feel like a giant step but please allow us to turn off Sence in future versions and maybe on the lower end One V maybe used Qualcomms older dual core chip as a single core can feel choppy when using multiple applications.
Now onto the advantages of running the new Sence 4 I have to say that on the One V Sence has been "watered" down for the slower hardware and smaller screen. Now that HTC has dramatically reduced Sence's RAM usage the phone feels fast out the box as opposed to having a custom ROM. One thing that I have noticed is that the stock animations are gone completely which makes the phone feels smoother and much more consistent with the performance.

GSM/UMTS
Only in America are CDMA devices very popular which says a lot as CDMA is constantly ageing. GSM devices have ruled over seas and in domestic areas the best thing about GSM is you can put in a SIM card and continue using your service. However doing that can cause certain features such as HSPA or LTE to not work and as a result the device can be useful or useless.
GSM based devices use HSPA,UMTS,EDGE,GPRS or LTE the huge advantage that GSM has over CDMA is the universal ability to change service providers however some carriers may choose to "lock" their devices to keep it on their network however you can "unlock" by entering an unlock code. Airwaves provide the way for wireless devices to communicate and different frequencies like 850MHZ can talk to 1900MHZ. With that being said you will want to check your device's frequencies and the carrier you want to switch to frequencies as having all frequencies but one can result in having only EDGE. That is the thing that people don't seem to give Apple credit for as the iPad and iPhone have LTE and GSM and CDMA radios and don't disappoint on performance unless it is a bad radio or network if you have Sprint. I personally recommend a world phone that can be unlocked for another network like O2 so if you come to the U.K for example your AT&T phone will use O2 and vise versa. Another thing people don't seem to credit Apple for making a dual CDMA and GSM radio so if you have Verizon or Sprint or any other CDMA carrier you can use a GSM carrier for back up or just left Sprint.

Sprint Sucks
With Verizon wireless being the only carrier in DC having full 3G service (EVDO) underground really makes me wonder as testing all carriers Cricket was last and found a tie with AT&T and T-Mobile and Sprint was third but the thing is Cricket is a prepaid network so they are kind of an exception.
Now with Wmata telling us that there will be service at all rail stations by 2012 and they told us that in 2002 which devestated me as Sprint does not have service even at some of the busiest stations and T-Mobile offered service but it was not consistent. However AT&T has had service at either every 2 stations or every station but here is why they both tie sometimes when using AT&T I was unable to make phone calls but with T-Mobile it was great service just wish it were consistent. Sprint had service in areas where lots of tourist are like Smithsonian station but data speeds were absolutely ridiculous litterally they were fast for EVDO A. With either carrier they won't disappoint even Sprint as they are upgrading their 3G network which is always nice.

LG optimus V best phone ever!
After owning the LG Optimus V for a year and a half I feel different in s good way. The phone was a mid range Android phone that out the box and still comes with 2.2 "froyo" however at the time that was pretty good as high end phones like the Epic 4G were still on 2.1. Now I upgraded to the HTC One V I love it is fast and runs Android 4.0 which brings hardware acceleration to the phone. I don't agree at all saying that the other phone was terrible it did have its flaws however those were hardware flaws like a low resoulution.
After doing a great deal of research I found out that having specs like an Adreno 200 GPU was weak and 600 MHZ was weak but it handled Android fine. The purpose of this article is to show that because you're device runs Android well it does not make it superior to you're PC as an Intel Core 2duo will indeed beat any ARM chip you throw at it. It is indeed 2012 and some users surveyed use their phone more than their PC and I find it odd as more users seem to only use a PC in their work lives and use a tablet like Apple's iPad which does provide nice media play back but is in no way a laptop replacement.
