Pros: Modern looking, big screen with great image quality, Nice phone, etc...
Cons: Everything is fine until you drop it. It dropped from my pocket (3 feet high?) onto the floor, and the screen just shattered like ceramic plates. It would not even turn on. What a disappointment! If a phone cannot be dropped, I cannot use it as a phone...

Honestly, its probably the best smartphone out there at this time.
Cons: The battery, although its 1800 mah, the handset consumes 3%/hr just sitting there doing nothing, even with all background syncing closed, and with battery saving apps.
That means it will be dead in about a day and half w/o usage.
The active usage time for the phone in internet mode ( with screen on) is less than 3 hrs.
The active usage time for the phone in talking mode is about 4 hours.
The active usage time for the phone in video playback mode is about 5-6 hours.
It can probably get you through the day, since you will likely not use it that much to drain it completely. But it is no by any means wonderful.
Other Thoughts: I guess there is no 100% perfect products. Galaxy S3 has a pentile, fuzzy display. HOX has somewhat dissappointing (but not bad) battery life. iPhone has small screen and is part of suffocating ecosystem.
in all, I am happy with HOX.

Rating: 5/5Blazing Amazingly... HTC
Pros: This phone does what it says and more! I'm very wow'd from this phone.. Super fast n smooth. Graphics are very decent in gaming. Multitask like an Octopus can n does... Sense 4.1 is sweet too... I've gotten 3 OTA updates in less than 24hrs, in Canada, and updated to ICS 4.0.4. as most people are still waiting. I did right by buying this Quad Core phone. Huge HTC fan, so, they're hard to disappoint me...
Cons: No Expandable Memory or Removable Battery.... Kinda mad how i seen this on a competitors website for $559 (Black/White) after I've gotten this for $609... All good though, money's meant to be spent @Newegg
Other Thoughts: *Samsung Galaxy S Vibrant *HTC Incredible S *HTC Evo 3D *Samsung Galaxy II HD LTE *HTC One S *HTC One X

Rating: 5/5Great Phone
Pros: Very good reception, nice screen, powerfull CPU
Surprisingly good battery life, over a night of standby use, battery down to 85%, over a day of light use down to 70%
Latest Over the Air update bring Sense 4.1 and update the firmware to 2.17 which run really smooth
Good support from rom moder
Wifi, 3G speed is good
Cons: Can get hot from time to time, using custom kernel solve this of you are familiar with rom flashing.
Can go thru the battery charges really quick with some games
Bootloader can be unlocked but NO S-OFF so this limit what you can do in term of modding
Other Thoughts: Compared to a Galaxy IIIS only advantage of the Galax is the memory, with sense you can be running with 2-300K free memory, this isn't a big issue with android but if you multitask then it show...
