The HTC One X
and One S are about to launch in the UK and
as such, all the major carriers are getting in on the action. Here's a breakdown
of how each of the major British networks are handling the launch of the most
anticipated Android phone of the year so far.
Before we begin, remember that the HTC
One X and One S should be available everywhere from April 5. so if you step
into a brick-and-mortar store belonging to any of the big five tomorrow, you'll
be able to pick up either a One X or One S.
- Three: Taking first One X and One S orders
online today for delivery tomorrow, the official launch day. The One X is free
on-contract from £35 per month, while the One S will set you back at least £32
per month -- both plans include unlimited data. If you'd prefer a lower monthly
bill, you can pick up the One X from £27 per month, or the One S from £24 per
month, both with a £99 upfront payment. All of Three's contracts are 24-month
deals.
- O2: O2.co.uk now lists the HTC One X (in
grey) as available "online only", with delivery promised tomorrow. O2 offers a
number of 18 and 24-month deals, though all but the most expensive include some
form of up-front fee. O2's "On & On" deals represent the best value on its
network. These give you a One X for free, unlimited calls and texts and 1GB of
data for £36 per month, with the option of bumping the data allowance up to 2GB
for £41 per month. O2 also offers the One X on Pay-As-You-Go, for
£479.99.
- Vodafone: Vodafone's still taking
pre-orders for the One X (white and grey) and One S (silver). The X will is
available for free on 24-month plans from £41 per month, while the S is priced
slightly lower at £36 per month. The first 10,000 customers to order each
handset will walk away with a pair of urBeats headphones -- the same kind that
shipped with the Sensation XL last year -- and 10 free tracks per month from
Vodafone Music.
- T-Mobile: Matches Voda's prices of £41 per
month for the One X and £36 per month for the One S. T-Mo UK, though, offers
unlimited data as part of the "full
monty" plan. The network says it'll
launch both devices online and in stores tomorrow.
- Orange: Says both devices are "coming soon."
