I'd like to see an Xperia T in that shade of blue/purple

I'm feeling the same thing but at least it is not blatant copy :)

Well they could have made this phone little more broader rather than longer :(. Bit disappointed with the design (personal opinion)

It's kind of ironic that HTC manufactured the X1 for Sony-Ericsson.

Since Sony Ericsson said they're not making WP8 models, I was hoping HTC would step up and at least make something similar

Don't think anyone said they looked like Nokia phones? :/

go to other articles about this phone and you will see that many people say HTC copy the Nokia lumia. Even early PA article say it similar to the Nokia design.

Ahh, my mistake then, I haven't looked at the other articles on the 8S & 8X

I don't understand. You say the 8X has 820 specs, in WHAT WAY does it have 820 specs? The 8X has 720p screen, more internal storage, a better F2.0 lens on rear camera, a 2.1M pixel camera on the front, a bigger battery. These specs all match and the front camera actually beats the 920. In my opinion, it's competing with the 920 and Ativ S...

a lot of people actually think this isnt a worthy flagship coz its a real step down from titan/titan2

yes it has a great camera but dont forget that 820 has carl ziess on it! and dual LED flash... and 720p screen too! and fyi 8X has 16gb of memory with no microSD slot while 820 might only have 8GB but atleast expandable memory, also has wireless charging and changable shells..

and nokia even said that pixel dont matter.. the one that matters is what you do with them! so even that 8S has 2.1mp front facing camera which is nice but front facing cameras are use for video calls purposes coz a lot of people dont usually use front facing camera to take photos with themselves.. they still use rear one! but it is nice that htc put 2.1mp!

they are the same size 4.3" same chipset 1.5ghz dual core with 1gb of RAM.. so i think 8X isnt a worth competitor of lumia 920 or ativ S... coz 8S is a real loser if it will go after lumia 820! even though it look really nice, but spec wise, no! there's no front facing camera and it will chase for 820? FAIL!

No the 820 does not have a 720p screen. It has a 480 x 800 (217ppi) AMOLED screen.
The 8X has 720 x 1280 (340ppi) IPS LCD2 screen.

Fair enough, the camera isn't even used as much. But for me, 720p screen is a must in 2013, for a "high-end" device.
I'm also not sure what you mean by it being a "step down" from the Titan models... The only feature that has better is the camera (16M pixel) and like you said, pixels don't matter.
