How does it go? "A long time ago, in a galaxy far away...."
The 8XT makes a solid first impression and it is very similar (like a long lost twin brother) to HTC's 8X.
The HTC 8X is a quality Windows Phone as is, but HTC added a few more
bells and whistles to the 8XT to give it a little more gusto (Data Sense,
HTC's Camera App, Micro-SD slot, BoomSound, etc.). Is it enough to
revive the Windows Phone market over at Sprint? You'll have to hit the
break to see what we think...

Solid
build quality, Data Sense, quality audio through BeatsAudio and
BoomSound, micro-SD card slot expansion, and an appealing 8MP camera
The
only really bad thing about the 8XT is that Battery cover is tough to
remove to access the micro-SD card slot. Other than that, there is room
for improvement but nothing is to the point of being critical to the
overall performance of the 8XT. Internal storage may be too low for
hardcore users.
It's
easy to compare the Sprint HTC 8XT to the HTC 8X. They are cut from
the same cloth and are both quality Windows Phones. While the 8XT tries
to build upon the 8X, there is room for improvement but nothing
detrimental to the overall experience. It's strength has to be the
audio quality and it can hold it's own in other areas (camera
performance, screen quality, battery life, etc.). Sprint customers
should be pleased with the 8XT.
