Clickety website. Tonight's show will be up to view soon.
Damn - was about to come on and post exactly this.
Just watched it with my wife who loves iphone
Beat the motorola driod & nexus one - and (as said) nearly the iphone. Bearing in mind the gadget show loves the iphone to death :S
Ouch...the Nexus One took a panning
Considering how Apple biased these guys are, I think they must have been very impressed with the HD2. For me, the HD2 is the best phone available at the moment.

the spelling mistake in the URL is on purpose, , , ch5 have spelled it wrong
and who cares what anyone else think, I, and I repeat I think this is the best device for ME, period. Don't you think?
It's nice to see media are noticing phones other than Apple branded ones!
Why can't I see the video? Says I can't watch from my current country/location? What gives?
Can't watch the video

Also bearing in mind the review focused on two of the 'weaker' aspects of the HD2, the camera and text input, it just shows how good the HD2 really is (I personally think the camera is very good, up with my Ignito/Diamond if not better, and once I installed Swype - wow fantastic!)
I haven't had a single crash, no obvious issues with my 1.48 ROM + camera fix, totally happy so far

It'll be on here soon, unless it gets uploaded by other means
TBH the review itself is superficial, complete with classic english eccentricity, it's the outcome that's surprising considering the gadget show's iPhone fanboys
Forward to 6:51:30 and pay close attention to the her hand raised to her Ear @ 6:51:38 and Pause....that bak of the HTC HD2 !!!!!!
They have masked the front of the phone with CGI...LoL
HTC HD2 .....YEP !!! there it is !!!

the region restricted video content has not been in place long. can't see the point of a site like others that restrict viewing to the UK where it airs anyway.
I always thought that the Gadget show was sponsored by Apple as they are so biased!
One thing though...Why didn't they include the Iphone as part of the tests?? surely that would have been a fair comparison....Well we all know that the Iphone would have been knocked off it's perch and they wouldn't want to show that!
i was flying in side of Nexus News and found this
http://www.sog-news.com/2011/05/rumor-nexus-3-tegra-3-nexus-hd.html
Seems pretty interesting,,,, there is specs of Nexus 3/X and some imaginary Nexus HD Tablet with imaginary specs ....
What do you think?
It looks like a website where some bloke has just speculated about something that isn't even announced. Would you like me to give you some specs of what i think? It'll be worth the same.
Oh, this is always fun. And then a blog picks this up, matches it with the other posts and blogs copying each other, suddenly it's FACT. It's everywhere on the internets, it must be real!

A proper rumour needs at least some hint of facts, this has none unfortunately.
I for one can't wait to get my hands on a tablet that sorta resolution, I mean come on who doesn't want that.
I started a blog that gives an in-deth look at the A7+ so that developers and consumers alike can check it out without actually buying the device. I've noticed that there are very few reviews or videos on the A7+, so those will be coming to the blog.
I don't mean for this to be an advertisement for my blog (it's really only temporary), it's just that I really couldn't find any info on the device, and am hoping to prevent that for future buyers. Also, if a developer sees this and says "hey! I'd like to develop for that device" then that would be awesome .
(because I can't post links yet, add the .com to the end)

Thanks, man. Really useful. Looks like 1saleaday put it up for sale again for $90 and I'm thinking about getting it. I think it will come up in the future so this is a great resource. Very detailed information.
Could you do some videos? I am wondering about the pinch to zoom. I heard it was horrible when it came out but then they released a firmware to make it better. Have their been releases after that to improve pinch to zoom?
I also heard you mention bugs/shortcomings in another thread. Could you talk about those as well on your page?

That was the A7, NOT the A7+. This is exactly why I started the blog- so many people confuse the two
The A7 had "1 + 1" input, which is NOT true multitouch.
The A7+ has 4 points multi-touch.

Are you referring to the ROMs? Because ALL the custom ROMs by Dexter have some pretty major bugs (depending on how you look at them). Videos and posts will be written about the ROMs after I finish checking out the stock firmware.
It's Clove, so not sure how much one can trust a company that sells phones when it comes to reviewing....but seems like a good job.

This isn't a hands-on review, it's basically spitting out facts already known. There's already reviews like this on YouTube.... Meh

This is like a support video or better to say advertising clip
I don't if it s right But I can see special support from UK websites this year for SonyMobile (that i like it)
& I saw like this from French websites in 2012 (maybe this is just personal opinion)
like other websites that specially support Samsung devices (AndroidAuthority in my eyes)
:good:
I liked reading the review and several of the videos were interesting, too. In particular, I liked the video with all the Z2 video samples in it. The video quality and effects are very impressive to me, and the effects shown actually look useful and not just gimmicky.
Jon at Clove is very neutral in his reviews. Despite selling phones as they sell more than one company
Very imformative too

Sounds like Jon's employer to me...
From what I've seen Clove do very good unbiased Demonstrations. Reviews would be more critical of a product.
To echo what phil9309 said earlier,
Having watched the video and read the blog - the blog review is a proper review whereas I suppose yes, the video is more a run-through of the phone and features.
Type in 'clove blog' into google it will come up directly.
Review link.

Sounds good, I haven't really liked the ergonomics of the Z devices in the past which is why though I have been mostly impressed by them I've never purchased one.

He's focused on devices popular in US. And they are bit of Apple-centric (not complaining, but simply stating a fact). Their reviews of Apple devices are some of the best reviews you can find.
New Review!

I saw a few people disliked what he said about the speakers. Not sure who do believe though. Most people says it is as good as the M8, or even better.

Is he even serious? Its like he got ***** slapped before making the review. Or forced by the bosses to not put the Z2 above the competition. Totally no mentions of the extra RAM either? Wow!

I agree , felt like it was rushed. I seriously lol'd when he poured water on it. When he comments on the sound but doesn't even show it in the video? It feels like a first impression video not a review..
I think we should make it easy for people who come to this section to see reviews about the phone.
So if anyone finds some reviews, please post them here.

You may have interest in this white version:

Another hands on video:
Edit: looks like YouTube embedding is broken, and on top of that I just realized mine was the same video that was posted right before me anyway (hard to tell with no embedding).
I just receive an invitation to buy the "oneplus x", but there is no full review yet. I don't know what to do
I'm worry about battery life. My 3 years old nexus 4 is a shame with it too small battery... Hurry up dear reporters !

I just got one invitation as well and I can't wait for the reviews to come before it expires! Anyway, even if it is not up to the expectations we should be able to easily resell it at no loss, shipping costs included.
Battery life will likely be fine - it's only 2525mAh, but it's also only a 5" screen. Based on the OPO's solid battery life (3100 mAh battery and 5.5" screen), I imagine it'll be fine.
Here's a review from someone who already has the phone:

It seems like it's taking forever to get reviews out for this device. Here's one from pcadvisor.co.uk:

OnePlus X Short Review
Hey... if you are willing to buy One Plus X smartphones,before that you must go through its review. meaning what are features of mobile and what is the different from another mobiles. I have read the review of this smartphones and it really good.
