Only drawback for me really is it doesn't have ICS yet. Sherm, I saw recently that it is supposedly coming to bionic soon. Any idea when?

Android phones have never been as impressive as they are today. They have
never been as responsive, as slim or as powerful. Their displays have never been
more vivid or more stunning. Their data speeds have never been as fast.
Competition is now hotter than ever before in the smartphone market and
consumers are reaping the benefits. At its core, each and every new smartphone
that launches is an engineering feat that simply could not have existed a few
short years ago. And yet as amazing as the current crop of smartphones might be,
there has probably never been a worse time in Android’s brief but storied
history for savvy users to buy a smartphone.

A quick glance through the smartphone catalogs of each of the four major
wireless carriers in the United States reveals a terrific array of Android
handsets. There is certainly no shortage of gigahertz or gigabytes, and spec
sheets in general have become laundry lists of cutting-edge technology. More
importantly, of course, this new breed of Google-powered phones offers
performance that is far more responsive and fluid than previous generations of
handsets. But as impressive as these devices are, right now is a horrible time
to buy any of them.

Things are about to get a whole lot better.

For tech savvy smartphone users, committing to a two-year contract is brutal.
Mobile technology moves so fast that smartphones can seem outdated just months
after they launch. While this trend is bound to continue, the degree to which
new generations of Android phones outdo their predecessors will always ebb and
flow. Handsets have been improving at a somewhat modest pace for the past year
or so, but the next crop of smartphones to hit store shelves will represent a
huge leap forward rather than a few short steps.

Two leading smartphone makers, Samsung and HTC, are on the verge of launching
next-generation devices that will put today’s high-end handsets to shame. HTC
has already unveiled its new One-series phones, and the two high-end models it
showed off at Mobile World Congress are game-changers, plain and simple.

The HTC
One X is the Taiwan-based company’s flagship smartphone for the first half
of 2012, and it features a 1.5GHz quad-core Tegra 3 processor, a 4.6-inch 1,280
x 720-pixel Super LCD 2 display, an 8-megapixel rear camera, a 1.3-megapixel
front-facing camera for 720p video chats, 1GB of RAM, 32 GB of internal storage,
embedded 4G LTE and Sense 4.0 on top of Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich. All that
technology, mind you, is squeezed into a gorgeous 9.27-millimeter-thick unibody
polycarbonate case. The U.S. version of this handset will feature a dual-core
Snapdragon S4 processor and 16GB of internal storage, but the impact of this
“downgrade” on the user experience is negligible — the phone is still lightning
fast and beyond smooth.
