May 22 is a loooong way away. Wonder when American carriers will get the phone? The HTC One X, for example, is being delivered to European customers starting today and it was released quite a while back.

Thought it was only like a month ago. Actually I don't think it was anywhere near a month ago. http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&g...one+x+unboxing

Personally, I prefer plastic, but not shiny silver plastic. I like a light weight phone.

Just thinking about it...does anyone other than Apple make a phone that isn't plastic?

Nope. Apple makes quality phones.

The iPhone 4S is primarily glass.

The new HTC One phones are some sort of treated aluminum, aren't they? That's infinitely better than glass. It doesn't shatter when dropped.

I think the One X is some kind of machined polycarbonate, like the Lumia 800, and the One S is part treated aluminum and part plastic (for the antenna).

I would prefer plastic also!
It doesn't break as easy and is better for the antennas and radio frequencies!

The HTC One V that was announced at the same time as the X and the S has the "iconic" HTC chin just like the Hero/Legend.

I don't prefer the toy feel and a cellphone no matter what it weighs these days doesn't feel heavy to me. A case of some sort will go on all of my phones adding top that hefty few ounces.

Slick is correct http://reviews.cnet.com/smartphones/...-35147482.html

I think the phone looks like something from the matrix or back to the future lol...is the leak official / trustworthy or shopped, is the question...

If true, it'll be interesting to see if the consumers are ready for the new shape & look, disregarding material & internal hardware of course .

You know we cant do that lol

That supposed image of the SGIII looks slick indeed... I thought the body was supposed to be made of some kind of ceramic material? Anyways, it looks like the front of the phone to me, I see what definitely looks like a display ... and why on earth would they have the first advertisements showing the back of the phone lol.. that wouldn't make much sense.

As long as it's not plumber butt phone like the Evo 3D I'm good.
