What is with the trend of removing buttons? I want my search button back! I wonder how they plan on doing a menu and multitask button.

IIRC Google has been pushing the manufacturers to get rid of all hardware buttons.

No proper wireless nerd wears skinny jeans. With all of our devices, we need cargo pants with lots of pockets. Otherwise you would have to use a fanny pack, and that is not complimentary to the image

I got Dana Wollman from Engadget (review: http://www.engadget....-sprint-review/) to confirm the Sprint HTC One does have the engineering screens.     Edit- I do hope they had a final build unit

Check out the Galaxy Nexus and Nexus 4 with all onscreen buttons. Google has been recommending devs remove the dedicated menu and search buttons, and add in App Switch. Part of the reason is, hidden menus are bad for intuitive user interfaces. Phones without them show an "action overflow" button on (almost) all apps.

unification would be great software wise and it is a better way to differentiate from the iPhone. I'm personally Android and I hate to admit but Samsung did copy a lot of software stuff and the home button.

From what I saw the stuff that Apples accused samsung of copying was very generic or things that they should not have a right to. Like the symbol for a telephone. The thing is universal. If anybody has a claim to that it should be a baby bell in my opinion.

true true. But what do you think about the dots to show what home screen your on as to apple's dots for app page? And Samsung going to a physical home button after they have established soft keys with the US S2. side note , I personally dislike apple a lot and am pro android all the way.

I thought the dots were more a part of android than any specific manufactures design language. I only say that because i have them on all three generations of evos that we have had. A physical home key may be a better case but samsung and apple are far from the only ones to have used physical home keys.

This render has been leaked for a while now and I really hope it doesn't look like this when its released. I don't know about anyone else but I am not really feeling this phone at all. I wonder how they will improve on the camera though, that will be my biggest factor between this and the gs4 when it comes out. Also, if this doesn't have an sd card slot then I think it will be an automatic no purchase for sure.

 

Yeah not feeling this either. It goes against what has been the traditional HTC "feel" that people buy this brand for.

Sprint is going with the same design as the GSM models this time? My theory is that if Sprint had just gone with the One X design and called it the EVO, that they'd have better performance on it. They could have sold the AT&T version with CDMA enabled and had a better phone.

but with the exception of the evo3d the term evo includes having an SD slot and a kickstand. the evo3d's main point was having 3d, which we all know failed horribly(I had the phone and minus the 3d it was a great phone.).

I wish I could find some decent rumored specs about the GS4. I just got my daughter the GS3 and I gotta admit it is pretty sweet, so much so that I almost upgraded myself to one...but I'm holding off to see if this M7 might be the "ONE" to move to since I fear the GS4 will be another behemoth (hearing the Note3 is going to be a 6.3" screen...wtf?).

I hope not. In my experience, the 4.5/4.7" screen is the max, unless it is edge on edge with little bezel space.

Worry not. The next step in handset evolution is to have no bezel at all...

If it comes with LTE 800/2600 support, considering it is a world phone thatis supposed to be one over 100 carriers in 80 countriesi, I will be selling my current EVO for that phone. The camera takes excellent low light photos without flash. Yet people are still hugging out about no removable battery and no SD card slot.

I currently have a S2, and holding off on my yearly upgrade (losing 60 bucks through BB buyback by waiting until summer) - the S3 just didnt feel right to me when I held it and not sure if I want to step all the way up to the Note... I know if I do there is no going back to a smaller phone again! I liked the OG Evo I had, so we'll see. The specs look solid, I dont mind the SD card absence and the camera tech is intriguing.

 

Awaiting info on the S4 to compare!

HTC Sense TVTM HTC Sense TV transforms the new HTC One into an interactive program guide and remote control for most TVs, set-top boxes and receivers. Tapping the power of the cloud, Sense TV makes it simple and intuitive to see what’s on and find that favourite show.

      Dish Network/Boost Mobile cell/5G buildout thread

      Definite usage quirks in hunting down these sites with a rainbow sim in a s24 ultra. Fell into a hole yesterday so sent off to T-Mobile purgatory. Try my various techniques. No Dish. Get within binocular range of former Sprint colocation and can see Dish equipment. Try to manually set network and everybody but no Dish is listed.  Airplane mode, restart, turn on and off sim, still no Dish. Pull upto 200ft from site straight on with antenna.  Still no Dish. Get to manual network hunting again on phone, power off phone for two minutes. Finally see Dish in manual network selection and choose it. Great signal as expected. I still think the 15 minute rule might work but lack patience. (With Sprint years ago, while roaming on AT&T, the phone would check for Sprint about every fifteen minutes. So at highway speed you could get to about the third Sprint site before roaming would end). Using both cellmapper and signalcheck.net maps to hunt down these sites. Cellmapper response is almost immediate these days (was taking weeks many months ago).  Their idea of where a site can be is often many miles apart. Of course not the same dataset. Also different ideas as how to label a site, but sector details can match with enough data (mimo makes this hard with its many sectors). Dish was using county spacing in a flat suburban area, but is now denser in a hilly richer suburban area.  Likely density of customers makes no difference as a poorer urban area with likely more Dish customers still has country spacing of sites.

      Mike if you need more Dish data, I have been hunting down sites in western Columbus.  So far just n70 and n71 reporting although I CA all three.

      Good catch! I meant 115932/119932. Edited my original post I've noticed the same thing lately and have just assumed that they're skipping it now because they're finally able to deploy mmWave small cells.
