Windows 8 is with us at last and so, not coincidentally, is
Windows Phone 8. The HTC Windows Phone 8X is the first handset
we've seen with the upgrade and it's looking very good indeed, with
a dual-core processor, vibrant screen, eigh-megapixel camera and,
who'd've thought, a few new Windows goodies.
It's on sale now for around £400.

Stepping into the slightly worn shoes of the original HTC
Desire comes the Desire X, with a flurry of improvements for
not much in the way of extra cost.
It's on sale now for around £230.
Rather like the iPhone, recent HTCs have all had a very similar
look to them, and at first glance the Desire X looks little
different to HTC's current hero handset, the One X, or indeed
the lower specced One V. Look a little closer though, and
there have been a few changes. Size-wise, it's between the two,
with a 4-inch screen compared to the One X's 4.7-inch and the One
V's 3.7-inch.

They're calling it the James Bond phone, but rather like the
excruciatingly obvious product placement of the James Bond Rolex
in Casino Royale, Bond seems to get what he pays
for.
In this case, 007's £400 gets him a dual-core processor, a
4.6-inch screen and a 13-megapixel camera -- handy for recording
SMERSH secrets or recording those Q tech briefings he can never be
bothered to pay attention to.
The camera, updated OS and slightly bigger screen put it a
smidgeon above Sony's last hero handset, the Xperia
S, in tech terms, but in truth, not by much.
