I'm leaning toward this being my next device. Hopefully it will come out soon. I'm babying my Sprint roaming data here in South Dakota to keep from getting the port out letter until I can get the device I want. Fortunately I have a VZW hotspot and an ATT phone with hotspot that I can offload my Sprint data to for the time being. I want the Max!

I was hoping the Note 3 would of been Triband as I was ready to give Samsung a try. Hopefully the stars align just right and the One Max is Triband LTE and Snapdragon 800.

Well if this thing comes with an s600 chip then I don't think I will bother even if it is tri-band.  I am paying full pop and there is no way I will do so if it has the same specs as my One which came out 6 months ago, not to mention I haven't heard anything about an IR port on the One Max which at this point I absolutely love on my One that I know I can't live with out.  So it looks like I will keep my One on my main line and replace my poor evo with a nexus 5.

I would highly doubt if it doesn't have the IR blaster on the HTC One Max especially since the Note 3 has it. The IR blaster will probably be built into the power button just like they did with the HTC One.  These are just basic things that are now becoming the norm for smartphones going forward.  I would be very surprised if the HTC One Max didn't include the IR blaster.

Well I guess we will find out when its officially announced.

Those specs might be suspect. Why release the HTC One with 802.11ac but not on the One Max?

Yep and how the hell does it only weigh 130 grams?  Hell, the note 3 weighs around 168 grams, something definitely isn't right.

 

Edit:  LOL, definitely fake, the dimensions of the device is also considerably smaller than the note 3 as well.

There has been some news that the One Max will be able to individually identify each finger on your hand and open specific apps with them. 

 

Does that mean I can get the five finger discount on the HTC One Max?

The phone as the One is awesome, as the MAX, a flop. S600 should be a S800, should have a stylus, should be tri-band. I think HTC just finalized their doom. Hopefully there is a market for a phablet without a stylus.

I don't think the phone is going to be a flop. The s600 won't be the down fall either. HTC should have included s pen type features that's what is going to make people choose a different device.

 

The lack of tri band is what's keeping me from purchasing this device.

While it may not be a must buy for me, I wouldn't necessarily say its a flop.  Most people I know that owns a note 2/3 can count on one hand how many times they have used their s-pen and the rest simply don't use it at all.  Also other than us enthusiasts, no one knows what an s600 or s800 is much less the difference between the two.

    • Was able to install the March 1 Android security patch. Seems slightly more accurate with 5g ca band id, but can not swear by it. Updated google play system update through the software information screen to March 1. *#73# still works. Froze updates waiting on SCP update beta to fix n41 showing as n38.
    • Just installed it. Thanks for the info.  71 mb mar 1st date.
    • There's a permit for a new 47 story building at 205 Montague St in Downtown Brooklyn. The problem is that  T-Mobile eNB 48352 is on the building next door and this new building will block two out of 3 sectors of the site. For reference, the new building will be roughly as tall as 16 Court St which is right across the street. This site is the primary site covering Cadman Plaza so I wonder what the plan is. Will they just try to change sector placement, move to a different building, or will this just speed up the conversion of the Sprint site at 25 Monroe Place?
    • At least not recently.  I think I might have seen this a year ago.  Not Sure.
    • Did they previously hop between n38 and n41 in prior version of SCP, or have you always seen n41 displayed properly?
