After being on Android for 6 months I jumped back to Windows Phone and the 8X was my best choice on Verizon. Design is solid, the phone is actually great to the touch and overall is great to use, though that power button on the top is a little bit of a reach until you adapt to it. The display is clear and 720P. Front facing camera is quite nice with the wide lenses, back facing camera is pretty good as well but can take some settings adjustment at night to get good photos. Performance has been pretty good though I've noticed a number of annoying bugs that hopefully will be solved in software updates. The app ecosystem still isn't strong but it has most of what I want. Overall would recommend the device if you're interested in Windows Phone.
