M7 vs. M8 Comparison Video - One (M8) General

Nice vid! this made my mind up. I am going to get this over the S5. Had the S3 and S4, N2...time to try something different.

Those camera shots look amazing!
Another source saying Verizon only... I hope that part of the video is wrong.
The rest of it? WOW!
That thing is a work of art! It makes my "silver" One look like a cheap toy!

The rumor is to be ordered online for Tmo which I'll assume is preorder. Guess we'll see in less than 24 hours.
I'd probably go silver...again. Can't believe gold is Best Buy exclusive.

Wait... does the glass run up over the speaker grills? :\
That's what it looks like.
I noticed it in the videos but wasn't sure but that sure looks like glass on the bottom.

If that is glass I might have to rethink this device. Part of what made the One so durable was the fact that it didnt have glass covering the whole front. Call me paranoid but covering the speaker grills with glass is likely going to result in busted glass. I really hope it's just reflection and glass dust but it doesn't appear that way so maybe I need to wait for drop test results.

No. The speaker grills are seperate. Look closely. Those are metal scratch on the grill and not from the glass extension.

I've seen it in other pictures too so its worrying, the unboxing pictures for example:
https://www.facebook.com/2351034665...5103466532617/720154938027465/?type=3&theater
It looks like something is over the grill.
Here too:

Maybe its just a coating?

M8 battery announced to last 40% longer than the M7 can't wait to see if its true

But, look at 3:13 at video and you will see this is not a final product.. Maybe hardware is final but rom is not...
In addition to, Unfortunately, there is not a case or screen protector in the box

You are welcome, also no software or user manual plus the box looks very generic for the HTC box for this kind of Hardcore device.
I totally agree with you,any way is the only unboxing till the moment.
That is not the final packaging, for sure. But, as said by wonsanim, it's the only one unboxing video.
Final packaging could have more accessories and a more pretty box.
I actually don't care much about the lookings of the box. It will just stand in shelf for at least 2 years =)
I just hope it doesn't feel cheap, as this is a high-end device. Right now it does, looks like BigMac box quality -_-
And what's with those really cheap looking earphones? Though it's not a multimedia device (and most people probaly use their own earphones), such a device deserves better ones.

Where have you seen cheap looking earphones?
Here are those, in photo:
http://www.solopalmari.com/news/windows-mobile/7556-htc-hd2-e-gli-auricolari
Yep, I was talking about those =) Didn't see them in a picture, just shortly in the unboxing video. Maybe "cheap" was the wrong term, but those do not look like they are good headphones. Especially when they are delivered with those "foam hats" (or whatever they're called), seen in Video at about 2:03. That's usually an indication for "standard" (or "not so good") headphones.
At least that's what I think. Maybe (and hopefully) I'm wrong =)

Great video...kudos to Samsung and the Galaxy S! Success...
I'm eager to see how the keyboard feels.
I have both T-Mobile and Sprint.
That video has been around for months, no pun intended it's actually a replica of every other Galaxy S video with a different color and the Epic shown instead of the the other 4 phones (unlocked Galaxy S has one as well). It's a cool video I've had the tune stuck in my head since the first time I listened to it back way before the launch event.
Only thing I noticed was missing from the first video was no back side shot to verify if there was a flash or not.

There's a flash. It's about 1cm under the camera lens.

Got a chance to play with one last Sunday. It seems like there are a lot of really bad pictures of it on the net. It's actually very nice looking. The phone is very, very thin. It's the exact same thickness as my HTC Hero. The keyboard keys are raised just the right amount, with a good amount of "clicky-ness." I'm impressed with it. It feels like the high end device that it is.
how did you find one?

Definitely a warranty issue. You're fine. Call Sprint up!
Walked in and walked out 3 minutes later with a Phone Ordered to replace it lol.
The back speaker or the earpiece. If it's the front one, mine sounded like that out of the box. Lots of vibrations and sounded like the other person was talking through a kazoo, which was most annoying. I got it exchanged though.

[Q] Xoom knock-off: Too true to be good?

I know (almost) everyone is still upset about missing the steal... um, deal of the year, but does anyone know anything about this:
http://www.applelover.org/android-30-p-1088.html
I saw this and instantly thought SCAM ALERT!!! But what if it's not? If it's true, this can certainly make up for missing that other deal. Also noteworthy, this is a presale. Another thing that I was leery of with the Xoom already officially in stores...
Yeah, I'm sooo calling shenanigans on this.
So many red flags all over this.
Besides, shipping date May 31? Yeah..
They must be working on a different calendar than we are, because you only get the special pricing before "28th Jeb"
Scam... order by Jeb? Jebuary? Oh yeah that's the month that comes after Nevember and before I-lost-500$-uary. If it's a realty good deal you are being taken for a ride.
Sent from my Chromatic Magic using XDA App
A co-worker showed me this and I told him don't jump out the window for it till I poll the community. That Jeb part definitely flagged me!!
The name of the tablet also seems to be photoshopped onto the Xoom... It might be a scam or just a very cheap knock-off from Shenzhen. Either way, I am still waiting for my 25% Xoom

Sad part is, I was investigating this for my buddy around the time you guys were making off like bandits. He sidetracked me from my normal XDA browsing time!

If you look at one of the photos, on the back of the device they have tape over "XOOM 12".

Looks like a pic from a beta version of the XOOM. My opinion, you're better off spending your money on 500 fortune cookies and playing the lottery with the numbers on the back.
I can't say 100% but I think it is a scam...I mean even knock-offs don't look 100% the same as the original.

Wow, thank you op for letting us know about this great deal. I did not want to miss out on a great deal like that 25% off coupon.
I quickly ordered it and I got an immediate email saying that it will be shipped on Mirch 2, 2011. That was quick.
I was about to spend $500 on my weekly ECT (electroconvulsive therapy) but I jumped on this great deal instead.
Thanks again OP.

I really like the part where it says that they have 90 units in stock. Then just a couple lines lower they say "Only 95 units left"! You better buy it quickly.

Kind of true and kind of false. Some of these stores are 3rd party retailers. They have their own inventory and at times have their own promotions. For example the one near my house smells and looks like T-Mobile, but it's owned and operated by a different company.

OK so I had to call like 3-4 times in order to get them to ship me a new one before I send mine back. But it'll be here on Monday. I will say that the screen scratches really easily... I only put it in an empty pocket once and only for like 2 minutes! It's got two fine scratches on the screen already. To all of y'all who plan on going without a screen protector, good luck!

I've heard this from more than one source, it seems like the GG5 is less prone to breaks, but more prone to scratches. On a hardness scale I seen it got scratched at 3 and the S7 edge was like a 7 or 8. Mine is sitting in the box til I get my Xtremeguard and either The Spigen I paid for, or the promos Rinke sent me to review.
