It looks like a giant candybar! I have nothing against the Evo 4G nor the HD2 which I previously owned (I took it back! Found the recipt DJ!) but the enormous screens aren't for me. They just feel like their gonna snap with their extreme thiness, not to mention the battery life was bad on my hd2 due to a 1230 mah. But, the Evo and HD2 are fine, this thing is rediculous. It's longer than the rest and what's up with the mirrored finish around the screen? If you wanna make a 4.4 inch look bigger on a phone your insane!

Much too big for my daily use. Plus we need detailed specs & benchmarks for evaluating it

Look it up bro. It's all over the net. It's currently the fastest phone as of right now (I THINK***)
And I'd get it. And of course a great phone MUST come with Android. Anything else would be crap.

The Samsung Galaxy S 1900 hummingbird chip or whatever is supposedly way faster than the snapdragon... I honestly have never heard of this phone before today lol.... I'm just not really a fan of motorolas.

Yea, no decently spec'd Android phone in a while that's GSM. I mean the Galaxy s thingamajig (I don't know what it's called) is the most advanced gsm we have right now, but unfortunately no HTC's since the desire! Where are you GSM devices with really good hardware and awesomeness eminating from you!
EDIT: ATT is getting a major advanced (im being sarcastic) Android HTC phone called the Aria!!!! Yay 2.8 inch screen with a 600 mhz processor!

the aria is the legend btw thats what i heard

No keyboard = not for me
I will not buy anything without a hard keyboard and will never believe that a phone without a keyboard could be better than a phone that has one.

Me and my, "homeboys" are porting the Samsung Galaxy S Pro to the G1!

Sometimes I like to express emotions with a pic borrowed from the internet.
Regarding the Droid X:
I don't think the EVO is too big, but it's pushing it. This thing is even bigger and the backwards chin would irritate the buhjezus out of me. That thing looks more like a multimedia device that includes a phone.
Of course I'm biased after several years of good service but I'm extremely pleased with Sprin't lineup lately. Not much to choose from but what they have is up there with the best of em, at least compared to what's available in the US

Thanks for changing your sig pic. Now I will no longer be tortured by the guilt of using your sig pic to post in the funny pictures thread...

yeah why are there almost no good android phones coming out for att

My guess is that the only reason they offer ANY android phones is because apple lets them in order to disguise their plans for world domination, and if they can get a few android people on board then they are at least a little closer to the iPhone and may one day opt for an iPhone when upgrade time rolls around.
AT&T offering android is like a consolation prize... it's more symbolic than anything.

will it have a front facing camera ?

I personally enjoy oversized screens, so I think the Droid X will be my next phone. I have a question, though -- will the phone have a decent modding community around it in the way that the EVO does? I realize that it's a difficult question to answer right now, but I'm very excited about getting a new phone (and rooting it).

No front-facing camera.
Also, let me take the opportunity to talk about video calling. If you use a cell phone in public and you don't care that other people are extremely annoyed at hearing you talk on your phone, get ready for my fist. Just regular calls around me annoy me, video calls are going to enrage me. Try not to be a douche and take your calls in private, please.

HAHAHA, too funny. I would really hope that people have enough sense to use vidoe calling when and where it's intended (ie. at home, in the office. NOT on the subway, in a restaurant, etc..)
Alas I am sure there will be plenty of people that just can't stand for other people to see them on a regular old voice call when they could be seeing them on a video call on their awesome new phone.
Please, please, please if you end up feeding someone a knuckle sandwich for being on a video call in public have a friend catch it on video for our viewing pleasure

People need to prioritize, they critisize it because it does not have a dual core CPU but really what good is that going to do, its a phone. It isnt like any Android app is that CPU intensive.
no HD video, doesnt matter either, HD video on phones still isnt anywhere comparable to a HD video camera. the resolution may be there but the quality isnt.
I for one rather take on time and priority Android updates over anything else.
I do like this phone, and glad i sold my N1 before the market for N1's shot down.

Damn you!!!!! Lol, I just bit the bullet on eBay on my N1, and yes, prices are lower, I took $50 less than I would've a week ago.
And criticizing something they dont own is the same thing people did with the G2, then people found out it was a really great device. It doesn't help companies or end users when people prematurely "bastardize" a device.

I got the Nexus one when it first came out... read the forums briefly... but I only remember people complaining about battery issues... like it would die with so-so hours.
I was trying to see if there were anything else that got fixed later on.

The Nexus 1 got ripped in its first few weeks for its dodgy clearpad 2000 screen which has support for only two touches at a time and its overlapping axis... This just shows you people are never satisfied. The N1 is one of the most important phones in history
JD

I absolutely agree. before I got the phone I read so much crap left and right. All the whining about dual core, no sd, etc...I buckled down sold my N1 and bought the Nexus S the first day and there is no looking back! best move I could have made. The phone is awesome, it's already rooted and will give you the best android experience without the bloatware(sense, touchwiz). Technology moves so fast and people are never happy. Right now, this phone kicks ass!!!

I used to hate Samsung phones (especially regular phones), but this one seems to be the best phone from Samsung and it looks very cool.
No memory card is the only thing I don't like.

I still think Google and Samsung could have done better than this. LOL. LOL
Anyhow, it sounds to me that if you already got rid of your Nexus One you don't have a choice but to now love your Nexus S.

I think this is the first topic I've read without reading a single post whining about this or that. Kudos to everyone in this topic and the whiners that didn't post in this topic. I say whiners because I see it in almost every single damn topic I read through.

I agree. Hopefully in a few weeks or so we'll see all the naysayers and doomsayers pass.
One day and we already have boot unlock (though that was admittedly pretty simple), custom recovery, root, and an optimized kernel. I only see bright things in this device's future, but that might just be the amazing screen!

Not sure why people are hating on it so much. I havent taken my hand off it for a couple hours and I absolutely love it. Definitely worth my hard earned $560

He was with me in the worst of times (Sony x10), and the best of times (HTC sensation, Samsung Galaxy S2).
He helped me not to lose my way (GPS), and always had something funny to say! (Youtube, twitter, joke of the day via google)
He always disliked fellow OS's that thought they had something he didn't (apple, blackberry, and most of all.....windows)
But he was NEVER a hater.....
He was the original TRAIL BLAZER, as we can all attest to his sense of voyeurism, and his want; no NEED, to be the pioneer and game changer in the washed out industry of cellular.
How can we forget his track ball that notified us who was contacting us? Or was that his way of saying.......... "Don't you forget about me." (Simple minds)
In my mind he will always be number 1. And his good friends CM7, MIUI have and will always have fond things to say about him.
I remember Steve Kondik saying once "Do you remember that one time he forgot to flash the gapps??? How embarrassing, HAHAHAHA!" It wasn't funny back then, but as time went on, the humour of the situation began to shine thru! I saw my N1 crack a smile......
He went thru numerous surgeries, swap-outs, re-boots, and firmware upgrades. And lived to tell another story.
He loved desert. Ones worth mentioning were eclair, frozen yogurt, and gingerbread. A funny thing about N1; he was always the first to the table with spoon in hand.
As we speak he is being sold for parts on Craigslist. However he was always greater than the sum of his parts.
Thank you N1!

Wonderfull.... What made you sell your n1 for parts? It was certainly more usefull in one piece....
By The Way, What phone is that in the upper left corner? Some sort of Samsung?

Yea the phone in the top corner of the pic is a Samsung galaxy note!
I was trying to fix the power button issue and accidentally crunched part of the main board

UPDATE: I've upgraded to the Galaxy Nexus...... Once a nexus fan, always a nexus fan!
Cheers guys!

How do you like it so far, coming from N1 to the GN, Ive been debating on it for a while now. Mines not dead yet got Medroid ICS running currently, but in the future when the prices drop and there are a few used ones running around, Is it a good phone worth getting. Basically what i'm asking is from your personal preferences a list of pros and cons about it.

R.I.P
A sad day indeed!

One of the issues with the n1 was the lack of internal memory. That ALWAYS drove me bananas. That ASIDE, it still went toe-to-toe with the heavy weights out there! My thoughts are because it was meant to be a developers phone. If you were to look at the specs of the n1 against other phones in its prime time, you would think that it would not compare. Build quality was awesome, and with android it was a match made in heaven (thanks Cyanogenmod) .
I thought a bit about what phone to get next. Creeping thru XDA helped my decision on the gnex as well as the nexus one. Both devices had/have HUGE Developer support (see cyanogenmod, aokp , miui, fransisco Franco just to name a few......)
This was my deciding factor in choosing the Samsung Galaxy Nexus. As well as ICS outta the box with hardware acceleration.
Did I forget anything, lol?!

It was a good poem, but can't really agree to it being a sad day. I don't know, I guess I don't wholeheartedly attach to any phone I buy. Sure, it's a great phone and I don't know what I would do without it, but I wouldn't mind switching it for a better one any day of the week. Though, if my only alternative was an iPhone 4S, I'd stick with the Nexus.
Regarding the internal memory. That doesn't bother me much with the use of an A2SD script. But the seemingly unsolvable issue with not being able to download big market apps is one thing that really drives me crazy.

Yea I used apps2sd as well. The bigger files drove me krazy too! I found myself cleaning cache constantly......

Uninstalling apps and then installing new apps had been my major pastime off late on my nexus.. Just to free up memory.. Clearing cache works but only sometimes...

HTC One M8 Upgraded: HTC Prime

Not sure if you guys are aware of the rumors or not, but the HTC One M8 will have a better edition available soon titled the HTC Prime. It's rumored that it will have a faster processor speed, better camera, etc. Here is the link with the details : http://www.digitaltrends.com/mobile/htc-m8-prime-news/
How do you guys feel about this? Personally, I feel a little cheated. I've heard companies release smart phones to work out the kinks and issues in the 1st edition then recently releases another better one shortly after, butI didn't think HTC would fall in line with that. If this isn't a rumor, Id feel as if I'm missing out. Just sayin'.

I think it,s an anti-poor policies from htc if all this is true

would definitely feel cheated.
I got my M7 near launch and the only thing that came along that made me want to upgrade was the M8.
The M8 means 8th flagship, how can it be a flagship if there is a better model from HTC out and about.
I hear excuses that this was a premium version, but my M8 is already the most premium device out there.
ho hum, we shall see!

Nearly every other company does this. I'm pretty sure Samsung is doing the same thing...
As EddyOS mentioned, there was already multiple rumors going around before the M8 was released.

Well HTC didn't with the M7 and Apple don't.
Samsung have an obligation to flood the market with every device conceivable, HTC are better than that.

keyword: 5.5"
go checkout the Desire 816, which is also boomsound + 5.5" compare it to your M8 size
and let me know if you still decide to cry
equally s805 power is wasted on the 2k resolution you will be surprised, this is why most OEMs decided to stick to 1080p this round

The Prime = new Max

extremely piss off htc it's now Samsung ??

It's a One Maxx 2 and far too big. Just as useless as the One Max 1. Anyone upset at this needs to get a grip. 5MP UP ? No point either.

Sooo... companies should stop improving and releasing new products so customers don't get butthurt? I'm confused. Every company is going to be constantly building and improving on their products. If they never released one because another better one was in the pipeline, then they'd literally never release a single thing. Technology moves fast, get over it.

Exactly. It's not an upgraded M8. It's a new max.
Do not want. Way too big.

IMO this is really unnecessary!
Samsung and HTC could use these new ''features'' in a new mobile, M9 and S6 for example. I bought the M8 mid april, and maybe, soon i will have a ''old device''?
This is really sad...
But, anyway, these new devices look very good inside.

I didn't say they were. But being that the "Prime" has half inch bigger screen than standard M8, it's closer to being a "new" Max, rather than a "better" One.
It's too big for me. I'm not butthurt that they are coming out with it after purchasing my M8. Its a totally different class of device.
I stand by my "do not want."

OK I understand In that case, you're right

I'm okay with this... Bigger screen means more power consumption.. The only thing that upsets me is the better camera rumor.. Even then I'm fine.

M8 improved upon...

Still don't think the m8's looks have been surpassed. Definitely not by m9 and, from what I've seen, not by the a9 either.
Specs don't, to me, seem significantly better either. No front facing speakers, only 2gb of ram, for UK.

Is it a question ? Open it in the Q&A section next time

No, a, GENERAL, observation re. the m8.

Granted the title and the questioning emoji don't help. However it's basically a general discussion. Not quite on the A9, but the M8 in general.
HTC is literally on a last ditch effort at this point in their history. Where the future will end up with them being bought out, closing shop or hopefully getting back on their feet and becoming a well received icon again.
The M8 is a pretty well designed device, granted it has it's downsides that everyone has their own opinions on. The M9 is its own beauty, but I've stuck with the M8 because it's still a capable device and better looking. With the A9 sure its design language HTC had well before the Iphone 6. However a device as well received and common like an iPhone it will be a copycat to the general public. We can all make our statements against calling HTC copycats, but at this point it's a label that will stick.
I would like to see their next flagship be something to wow us all. A design that is HTC. If they attempt to improve on the M8/9 design again which isn't entirely a bad thing, but a new fresh look would be nicer. The M8 has been the longest daily driver I've kept in a long time. I normally go for their new flagships, but the tides might be changing. Once my M8 gives its last breath if the common trend continues I'll regrettably be moving away from HTC.
For the love of all things not the iPhone. I sure hope not

Then change your title as it has question marks all over it !

I still love my M8 and dont feel the need to upgrade really. It has great looks, great performance... The only thing I miss is the battery life I used to have when we were on Kitkat. Also, there seems to be an occacional lag that only goes away when you clean recent apps...seems to me that HTC rushed the Lollipop update, I hope they fix these issues with the Marshmallow update.
Regarding the M9 I find it hard to believe they will be able to acomplish the 15 days after Nexus window for updates since it still has Sense skin, but time will tell.

Granted the title and the questioning emoji don't help. However it's basically a general discussion. Not quite on the A9, but the M8 in general.
HTC is literally on a last ditch effort at this point in their history. Where the future will end up with them being bought out, closing shop or hopefully getting back on their feet and becoming a well received icon again.
The M8 is a pretty well designed device, granted it has it's downsides that everyone has their own opinions on. The M9 is its own beauty, but I've stuck with the M8 because it's still a capable device and better looking. With the A9 sure its design language HTC had well before the Iphone 6. However a device as well received and common like an iPhone it will be a copycat to the general public.

Dude, this is exactly my point of view. I hope HTC will make it. Since I moved to Android after breaking my iPhone 4 back in the days I stuck with HTC and I hope there'll be plenty of reasons to continue with it.

Ah yes a question it is......reported to be moved to the Q&A

I bought the m8 after I decided not to buy the m9.
I certainly hope HTC and come out with something awesome once again. I remember really liking the concept drawings of the m9 before the m9 was announced, and those looked amazing. If only HTC would take a hint from those designs...
I really wanted to buy the m9, but it was just not worth it when it first came out.

Using the M8s (as couldn't get M8) along with the P8 and more less shifting towards the P8. As die hard htc fan never thought I will end up with Huawei device. They support is much better and P8 is an excellent device, bar battery life, but it does a full day with some 35% around 6pm still available. I'll skip the M9/A9 and wait for the M10. If not happy then sticking with P8.
