I hope to hear from other Cube T9 users on their opinion if the T9 is the new reigning champ!

I know that there has been a few issues with the screen, but I would think it was mostly early models, and Cube has shown itself good to take care of QC issues in the past.

So is the T9 now better than the 9X?

It is slightly heavier (still no prob with that), and not as thin. But it is faster by a good margin, with a bigger battery. The rest of it is just excellent Cube quality.

The build quality has been brought into question, but I see nothing wrong with it at all.

Different, yes! Sub-par? I just don't see it.
