New instalment of the HTC One X "real-user" review up, 4-way camera shootout ensues!

Hi all, quick note to let you all know that the next instalment for my One X review has gone up at the Telecom Tech Blog. Catch the camera review here, and don't forget to cast your votes on the camera shootout at the bottom of the page - HTS One X Vs Samsung Galaxy Note Vs iPhone 4S Vs a standalone digital camera!

The Samsung Galaxy S III: AndroidNZ goes hands-on, brings you our thoughts and exclusive details

One can almost sense the near-palpable nervousness of the
One X capturing this shot... I think it came over all Mr Blurrycam
because it was shaking with fear (or maybe that was my excitement)

Something great happened to me today; I got the rather unexpected joy of being able to play with the Samsung Galaxy S III. The pieces fell together quite unexpectedly yesterday, when a nameless benefactor temporarily came into possession of an S3, and was kind enough to give it up for a couple of hours today (I don't think I could have been so generous, I would have been more in the "from my cold dead hands" camp I think).

Anyways, what follows is an account of my brief two hour experience with the S3, and some of my thoughts and early impressions. I unearthed a few things that nobody else has covered in relation to the S3, so I hope you'll enjoy it (you didn't think exFAT support was all I had for you, did ya?).

Catch you after the break.

Video Review: Speck CandyShell for HTC One X

In the continuation of our HTC One X accessory coverage, I've decided to take a look at the CandyShell case, which comes from the folks over at Speck Products. The CandyShell case first came to existence in early 2009, when it was produced for the iPhone 3GS. Its popularity was quickly noted by consumers and the case design spread to many other devices.

Due to its simplistic yet stylish approach and design, this remains Speck's most popular case, so it is no big surprise it was ported to the One X. The case itself is a hybrid, composed of a plastic shell with a silicone inner layer, although the real treat is that the materials are molded into one single piece. Due to its design, it is extremely protective, yet slimmer than most other hybrid cases.

The HTC One X "Real-user" Review at the Telecom Tech Blog, first two parts up now

The One you're looking for?

Hi everyone, very brief post here to let you know that my first two posts, The HTC One X “Real-User” review, Part One: Initial impressions, Design/build quality, Screen and Benchmarks, and
Making sense of Sense are live at the Telecom Tech Blog.

Unfortunately some loss of formatting errors when it was posted resulted in a fair number of problems in the first post in the form of words that were clipped and so forth, so don't be surprised if you feel it's not up to our usual standard here when reading it (I'm working on sorting those issues out, but it's generally sound in the sense that what I intend is reasonably clear). The second post seems to have made it through unscathed, so hopefully we'll be good from here on out. 

With luck the third part will go up this week, dealing largely with the camera, so keep an eye out here or there for that. In the meantime there is other content there from the other members of the Telecom Tech One X group to tide you over.

As per usual feel free to throw questions my way here, there, or on Twitter @NZtechfreak
