HTC One preview thread (was "Any M7 takers?")

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:

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.

    • A heavy n41 overlay as an acquisition condition would be a win for customers, and eventually a win for T-Mobile as that might be enough to preclude VZW/AT&T adding C-Band for FWA due to spreading the market too thinly (which means T-Mobile would just have local WISPs/wireline ISPs as competition). USCC spacing (which is likely for contiguous 700 MHz LTE coverage in rural areas) isn't going to be enough for contiguous n41 anyway, and I doubt they'll densify enough to get there.
    • Boost Infinite with a rainbow SIM (you can get it SIM-only) is the cheapest way, at $25/mo, to my knowledge; the cheaper Boost Mobile plans don't run on Dish native. Check Phonescoop for n70 support on a given phone; the Moto G 5G from last year may be the cheapest unlocked phone with n70 though data speeds aren't as good as something with an X70 or better modem.
    • Continuing the USCC discussion, if T-Mobile does a full equipment swap at all of USCC's sites, which they probably will for vendor consistency, and if they include 2.5 on all of those sites, which they probably will as they definitely have economies of scale on the base stations, that'll represent a massive capacity increase in those areas over what USCC had, and maybe a coverage increase since n71 will get deployed everywhere and B71 will get deployed any time T-Mobile has at least 25x25, and maybe where they have 20x20. Assuming this deal goes through (I'm betting it does), I figure I'll see contiguous coverage in the area of southern IL where I was attempting to roam on USCC the last time I was there, though it might be late next year before that switchover happens.
    • Forgot to post this, but a few weeks ago I got to visit these small cells myself! They're spread around Grant park and the surrounding areas, but unfortunately none of the mmwave cells made it outside of the parks along the lake into the rest of downtown. I did spot some n41 small cells around downtown, but they seemed to be older deployments limited to 100mhz and performed poorly.    
    • What is the cheapest way to try Dish's wireless network?  Over the past year I've seen them add their equipment to just about every cell site here, I'm assuming just go through Boost's website?  What phones are Dish native?
