There’s little question that the HTC One X+ is going to attract some attention in the Android world, but the biggest problem is its limitation to AT&T in the US market. That’s where sites like Expansys USA come in as they just placed the One X+ up for pre-order. It doesn’t look like it’ll work on AT&T’s LTE network, nor T-Mobile’s future LTE… Read more
