The lockscreen shortcuts can indeed be customized. They are linked to the 4 shortcuts at the bottom of the home screen, and whatever you change those to, the lockscreen shortcuts will follow.

It has biger and better display and it has "impressive audio quality".
Only real disadvantages are low resolution of video recording and lack of front camera.
Really very nice phone.

This cell phone shows perfectly what is wrong with HTC for more than a year. Good luck selling poor speced phones with high prices.
No wonder that HTC sales, revenues, and profits are going down very fast.

I am an ex iphone 3gs owner & I am going to buy this phone. I have a very tight budget & I really don't remember any other mid range phone whom gsm arena praised for churning out perfectly clean & impressive sound quality.

Uddated list of disadvantages
1. It does not have 720p video recording
2. Cortex A5's at higher price than the A9's in Ace2, Sola and U.
3. HTC Sense to assure lags and hiccups.
4. NO COMPASS (a chipset limitation i guess)
5. No front cam.
6. Very old 2010 Desire series design

Very clear win for the Ace 2 here, cheaper and better. Im interested in phones in this class coz my wife is changing her phone, all the research and reading i do points us towards Galaxy Ace 2, or Xperia U if she can live with 6GB storage.
Design: Ace 2 has very rounded shape, unlike the Galaxy S Advance it does not look like a cheap iphone3 copy. Desire X design is typical old boring HTC design, outdated. Only advantage i see with Desire X is its display, SLCD is very good.

gsmarena, desire x has a notification led. it's located on top right corner.
I'm using kakao talk and notification led will blink when new message arrived.
I agree with that back metallic plate surrounding camera & flash, it's too out of place, and beware tho, it can deliver small electric current.
if I connect my htc dx to my old pc using usb cable, then I touch that back metallic plate, sometimes I got small electric shock. yea my old pc has bad grounding, that's why I always avoid phone with metal housing..

It's so HTC, releasing a capable midrange without front facing camera. Are they not aware of skype, tango, google hung out, etc..... they never made a complete midrange phone. Go Samsung!

The fickleness that HTC shows towards its own products is mind boggling. How do you expect your customers to take you seriously? Instead of spreading yourself so thin, maybe you should concentrate on making existing customers happy.
I have been a strong supporter for a long time and it pains me to see all your potential being squandered like this. Wake up and smell the roses. Samsung would not be where it is if you do your homework.

Quite agree.. A very good phone overall (well for me no front cam is not a big deal)..
Priced a little higher..

I liked this phone and thought it was cute until... I saw by your review the shortcuts on the dock / lock screen aren't customizable, nor it has the different HTC innovative lock screen styles, and what happened to the Call/People app? On my EVO 3D they're integrated into a single tabbed app, much simpler. Where's the quick settings tab in the status bar / notifications area? The recent apps list it displays there in Sense 3.6 are also great for unlocking the phone directly into them (you call pull the status bar before unlocking in ICS), it's actually a killer feature I find myself task-switching from it more often than holding the home button on my current device sometimes. Also no HD resolution video. :/
HTC is going backwards with Sense, sadly, and this make me like less this company that I used to...
