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 a proper wireless dork must maintain. :hee:

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

Hey, if a fanny pack is good enough for Chuck Norris...

Oh, and Chuck Norris does not license wireless spectrum. He lassoes it.

I used to love HTC, but since the HTC EVO 4G LTE, and almost all of the new HTC One Series are having random issues. I will be leaving HTC alone for a while. HTC better wake up, or they will be on a chopping block and forgotten. I don't know why HTC, Google, and Motorola intend to follow Apple's strategy of no external SD slots, and internal battery inconvenience, it is a waste of time, and I don’t have time for the bullsh*t. The HTC EVO LTE took forever to charge, and was a pain to have to carry the charger around, when you could just carry an extra battery. When I had my iPhone 4S, the phone was having issues charging, but internal battery is convenient, it isn’t at all…..

It's about the user experience. People have microSD card problems and they blame HTC. Limit on what can go wrong on the phone and realize that yes, you will upset 1% of the population but get rid of a TON of service repairs and upset customers.

 

Same goes with battery.

 

The average person doesn't use microSD or change battery. Phone manufacturers cater to the 99%. Stop being an elitist, you 1%'er :P

The HTC EVO LTE took forever to charge...

 

Hmm, none of my devices, including my EVO LTE, take "forever" to charge. But I use this...

...the charger for my long since forgotten HP TouchPad. Reportedly, the charger is quite powerful.

I buy 2 amp chargers for all my charging. I even have 2 amp chargers in my cars. Fast charging.

if this is a DNA in a 4.7" I'm on the bandwagon. That's really the limit for me. Hell, I like the Rezound with 720p resolution in a 4.3" screen. 5" screen is just a little too uncomfortable for my tastes.

Where is the HTC at CES? Have they shown/announced anything? I've missed it if so...

 

HTC really doesn't do much, if anything at all, at CES. MWC is next month, thats were HTC will probably focus their efforts.

It'll be interesting to see if the actual pictures look better. Interesting idea. Similar to the Nokia pureview tech. For me the camera in a phone is the single biggest feature. I don't carry a pocket shooter anymore and only break out my DSLR for special occassions.

The bottleneck is not so much the sensor any longer. It is the lens. Unless you want a Coke can size lens sticking out of the back of your handset, the camera phone point of diminishing returns is already here.

With the announcement of this phone supposedly coming in a couple of weeks, I think I will wait a little longer before upgrading. Was all set to upgrade to the Optimus G, but it seems to behoove me to wait just a little longer.

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.

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.

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.

 

probably the same as it is now. The recent apps doubles up as a menu button on the EVO now. You don't really need search anymore since all you have to do is bring up Google now and say "google" and then say what you want searched or you can say "call 'name'" or "navigate to 'place'".

I don't see a recent apps button in image.

      Kind of amazing that T-Mobile is still holding onto that speed title despite Verizon all but killing off lowband 5G on their network. While Verizon is mostly being evaluated on mmWave and C-band performance, T-Mobile and AT&T's average 5G speeds include their massive lowband 5G networks that are significantly slower.

      Yup. Very true. We were originally on an Everything Data 1500 Plan, which got Unlimited Minutes thanks to Marcelo's "Loyalty Benefits" offer. We then switched to Unlimited Freedom (with the Free HD add-on that Sprint originally wanted $20/month per line for.... remember that?) because the pricing was better with "iPhone for Life", vs. the "Loyalty Credit" for staying on a Legacy Plan. After that, I ran the numbers and switched us over to Sprint MAX, especially for the international travel benefits. There's absolutely no reason for us to switch to Go5G Plus or Go5G Next if we're going to do BYOD by purchasing from Apple/Samsung/Google directly as we've been doing. These new plans aren't priced for current customers to switch to. They're priced for new customers, where they throw in a free line, etc. It's gone from "Uncarrier" to "Carrier". What a shame.

      Strange business model that they keep around all these pricing plans. 1000s of plans per carrier is reportedly not uncommon.  Training customer support must be a nightmare. Even MVNOs have legacy plans. A downside of their contract mentality I guess. Best to change contracts during a recession. But then all carriers try to squeeze out legacy plan benefits as they grow old.

      Everything "Uncarrier" is becoming "Carrier" again. Because of the Credit Limit that T-Mobile put on our account for no reason at all (and wouldn't change/update the last time I checked all the way up to the CEO), I don't plan on buying/upgrading our iPhones through T-Mobile. I'm going through Apple directly. Looks like I'll be going through Google and Samsung directly for our other lines for upgrades. Also, we're staying on Sprint Max given the ridiculous pricing for Go5G Plus. On Sprint Max, we currently pay for our Plan: $260 for 7 Voice Lines $25 for two Wearable Lines. (One is $10/Month. The other is $15/Month because the AutoPay discount only applies up to 8 lines.) Total: $285/Month vs. Go5G Plus (Per the Broadband Facts "nutrition label" on the T-Mobile Website): https://www.t-mobile.com/commerce/cell-phone-plans $360 - ($5 AutoPay Discount x 7 Voice Lines) = $325 The Watch Plans show as either $12/Month or $15/Month: https://www.t-mobile.com/cell-phone-plans/affordable-data-plans/smartwatches So this is about the same for the wearables as what we're paying now. Overall, it's quite more than we're paying now to switch plans. Ridiculous....
