my razr flipphone finally gave up the ghost so i picked up an htc 8x. So far im diggin it. I really dig the interface. Its just so much cleaner and feels more like an OS than just a desktop filled up with shortcuts. For no real smartphone experience it seemed pretty intuitive. Didnt have too much trouble just figuring it out. The one hangup I had with it which bugged me was the contact list. I was expecting just an address book to type stuff in. But you have too group contacts to accounts or like folders. Like facebook, twitter, linked in.... It through me off because i have none of that shit. Ended up just putting them under my gmail account handle. I hope that doesnt mean google will create lists or data mine from it... I think I see the perks of filters with too many contacts and the need for accounts but I would have liked a simpler address book that isn't so connected. The xbox live interface is nice. And i like the subtle parallax shift that happens in the menus and the simplistic look of utilities. Seems to work pretty good and look good.
