HTC Windows Phone 8X for AT&T: what’s different?

HTC 8X for AT&T what's different

We recently reviewed the global (HSPA+) version of HTC’s Windows Phone 8X, the first handset to cross our desks running Microsoft’s newly minted mobile OS. Starting today you’ll be able to purchase HTC’s 8X for AT&T, which features the same exquisite design but adds LTE and a dash of carrier flavor. Pricing with a two-year commitment is $100 for the 8GB model (available in California Blue and Limelight Yellow) and $200 for the 16GB version (blue only) — in comparison, the global (HSPA+) phone sells for about £350 ($560) unsubsidized and unlocked. We spent a few days with the 8X for AT&T and while it’s pretty much identical to its global sibling, there are a few differences worth mentioning. Hit the break to find out more.
