HTC One XL - It's a good phone. I mainly got it because it has really good reception.
I initially had battery problems, but resolved it by turning down the brightness (which had no obvious adverse affects) and installing juice defender.
The only downside is that it doesn't have tethered messaging (like the iPhone).
I rate it much higher than the last two iPhones (3s and 4) that I had. Much faster and is bluetick rated (by Telstra) because it receives reception in places where the iPhone doesn't.
Just got the htc 2 days ago and its AWESOME!
But i have noticed the battery prob... but thanks for the tip about installing juice defender! im installing it now and ill see how it goes :)
No worries
I think it is the phone's constant access to 3G and 4G that chews up the battery. That access is only needed for data, so juice defender will turn it off whilst the phone is not in use and you will still receive all calls and messsages. As soon as you put your passcode in, juice defender turns the G network back on.
You'll be happy that you now have a phone that primarily works well as a phone (which many smartphones fail to do).
