YowCH’s new HTC phone with Beats headphones
After workng very hard for the past 21 months, YowCH’s HTC Desire now suffers from a failing vibrator and is too small on the memory (sluggish running of programs). With a recontract with Singtel, and searching for a not-too-large and not-too-expensive phone, he settled at the recently released HTC Desire X at $18.00 with 24 months contract (street price is $350.00), bought online and delivered to TYLin office. In addition, he paid an additional $68.00 for a piece of Beats Solo headphones (street price about $200.00), collected at Oro, the distributor.
Still using Android (now ver 4.0. Ice Cream Soda), data and software transfer was successfully carried out in a few hours, much easier than the previous transfer from Window Mobile to Android.
And yes, the phone is white. The alternate colour in Singapore is dark blue, which looks quite bad, actually. Overseas seems to have black.
So how does it sound? Are gigantic headphones going to be awfully conspicuous to use when in the car?
Not safe to use on the road (car or walking) as the headphone is very effective in cutting out all external sound. The quality of the phones (build and sound) is fantastic (and this is the most basic model), certainly comparable if not better than your old Sennheiser.
