What's wrong with some of you people? Can you not read the thread title?

To the OP - the 8x is your bet option. I agree that it is VERY stupid that they gimped the AT&T version, though. Wireless charging aside, couldn't they have at least made the blue, ya know, blue? Tech early adopters are generally male, and most males don't want a phone that looks purple in most light sources. The Verizon 8x does in fact work on AT&T, but not entirely - no LTE, internet sharing, or MMS. Otherwise, at this point, your option is the purple AT&T 8x. The next crop of phones will probably be this summer / fall.

Precisely what Deeko said.

Also, there might even be some released as early as May. We'll just have to wait and see what happens at MWC, but I'm hopeful there will be new hardware.
