Looks pretty good to me.
Really?!
The competing HTC One X is $999 or $0 for $100 a month for two years, so for a phone that's only an extra $50 more you wind up paying an extra $480 over two years.
Warehouse Stationery are offering a pre-order discount of $100 making it $949, and as mentioned above Telecom offered this same discount for the One X, hence why it'll be interesting to see if Vodafone and 2degrees offer anything different.
The HTC phone deal includes 300 mins vs the S3 deal which is 400 mins hence the extra $20 a month. Same deal really, yet you're essentially getting a better phone with the S3, other than the screen.
Then, when you look at the real cost of calls etc vs buying out right, the $0 for the phone looks ok or even good.
networkn: They are hardly raving about it :)
I wonder how far away the HTC One X in Black is? Anyone have any information? NZTF: If you were giving HTCOneX and GSIII a rating from 10 overall, how would you rate them? I know you have only spent a few hours with the GSIII, but as a first impression?

Yeah, I'm really thinking that this device just doesn't offer enough of a jump forward for me to bother upgrading; yes, it's better in every respect than my SGSII, but not, IMHO, as much of a jump as their was from the I to the II.
Maybe once they drop in price. . . .

Hard question, I should probably refuse to answer, because there is no way to give an opinion with any authority based on the time I've had with the S3, and my opinion of the One X is heavily coloured by how many deal-breakers it has for my personal use. For me personally the S3 is VASTLY superior, for those who can live with 25GB of storage, average sound quality and GPS and barely acceptable battery life then the One X starts to look appealing with its great design.
