Detailed review
Before purchasing the phone I read many reviews and became a little concerned over the phone's battery life and its physical size.

I must admit that the battery is not the best, it appears to take a long time to charge (in comparison to my previous handset - HTC Desire S) and can drain quite quickly with intensive use.
However, stand-by is fine and could easily last the whole day.

I have fairly small hands and felt that a 3.7" screen has always been adequate for my needs. Therefore I was unsure whether the One X's 4"7 screen would be uncomfortable to use. However, to my delight it is a pleasure to use. I actually much prefer the larger screen size, although admittedly, it is less likely to fit into one's pocket, handling wise-it's fine. I can actually use it okay-ish with one hand too due to it being so thin and lightweight.

Overall I am thoroughly pleased with this handset. It's blazing fast and the design is also pleasing to look at and hold. I would highly recommend it to those who are less concerned over battery life.
