Just placed my order for pick up in store. Lets see if it actually works this time ... In the past I have added myself as a "delegate" for in store purchases and was told only my step dad could do anything since he is the account holder. I have already paid and signed the Easy Pay agreement online so it shouldn't be too much of a problem, I would think.

The difference between 3xCA and 2xCA is negligible at best for 99% of users. In fact, short of doing speedtests and sharing screenshots, the user experience is the same. When your phone is idle (no da

I'm pretty sure most people don't expect, no, demand, nearly as much out of their product reveals as you do. Other than reading your complaints, I never felt like the reveal for the HTC 10 or G5 were

Yep, will be supporting 3XCA, the second device on the list. The exact date will be May 13th https://www.reddit.com/r/Sprint/comments/4gvsb7/htc_10_coming_to_sprint_lte_plus_network_may_13th/

So I have to echo some of the complaints that folk have had. Most of the stores in my area do not have any HTC10's or even a demo. In my opinion, as a hail mary device, they should be doubling down on the production rather than limiting it. Anyways, not a fan of the silver. I rather have a dark color. If you look at the HTC website only the unlocked version is available in the darker color. The silver is the only color available for both Sprint and Verizon. Despite all of this I went ahead and ordered via Sprints website.

I think all the carrier-specific US units are silver only at this point. TMo is launching on the 18th, no carbon gray either. AT&T isn't going to sell the 10 at all.

Is there any way to tell if a store has a demo unit short of calling or visiting?  I really, really want to put my hands on one.

That's true for M8/M9, but Uh-Oh for 10 is different.

 

 

Definitely only silver variant for Sprint, HTC has it up on its site now too. $600 with a coupon + Uh Oh, still probably a worse deal than $504 from Sprint. 

 

This might sound silly but lack of carbon gray for Sprint just tips the balance for me towards getting an unlocked one from HTC and using it on TMo. I've had 6 different black / dark gray Sprint HTC phones, not getting a silver one now... Also fed up with lack of development for Sprint on XDA. This will only get worse for HTC 10 as there's only 3 SKUs - international, US unlocked and Sprint. Will keep my SERO account active in case the rumored HTC Nexus this year turns out to be comparable to HTC 10.

 

 

Makes me nervous that if HTC does make the Nexus it will only be released in one color and not 4 like the 6P...

Shouldn't be an issue with the new Nexi as there are no different carrier versions and region SKUs.

Got mine during lunch, it's OK, that's all I can say. Got to work and noticed a black "burn" mark on the lower left hand corner. And the keyboard is quite "sticky" had to switch to the Google keyboard. Needless to say I'll have to take it back as soon as I leave work this evening. Quite disappointing to say the least.

Downloaded the official HTC keyboard since its what I'm used to. I couldn't figure out why I couldn't switch to it, or find the HTC mail or calendar apps. Then I realized, they unbundled all those! I like the idea!

Haven't met an OEM keyboard that I liked ... always go straight to Google Keyboard. Sucks on the "burn" mark. Can you elaborate on what you mean? Screen burn or an actual burn?

Noticed on the coverage map that LTE roaming is not shown for the HTC 10.  Is this an error because the phone is so new, or is there actually something preventing the phone from LTE roaming?  That will be a deal breaker if true.

It hasn't shown for other devices that actual do roam, at least initially. So hopefully the maps just haven't caught up yet.

I also disliked the keyboard, too much "stuff" on it. But Google keyboard is nice!

I'm gonna have to try out the Google Keyboard. I keep hearing rave reviews about it on both Android and even the new iOS version. I've been using Swiftkey for the past few years, if you guys have used that before, how would you say it compares to Google Keyboard?

Probably has more features, I used it a long time ago, but it's been long enough I don't really remember it. I just like the cleanness of the Google keyboard. My dad uses Swiftkey and his swiping always seems to have more errors than mine (google) ... but that may or may not be the operator ;)

I got a S6 Edge after having the M8, and I never felt like I *enjoyed* the phone as I did my M8... I think that was because of the incredible development by the guys at venomroms.com...which are also developing for the HTC 10... check them out. They are the reason I'm probably going to get an HTC 10 -- if they come out with the Carbon Gray.

Yeah, Team Venom are great, had their M7 ROM at some point, but went a different way for my M8. However, the issue of carrier-specific development being dicey will always remain. Even the ROMs that are supposedly compatible with all 4 major US carriers often have some Sprint-specific bugs. Custom kernels often aren't ported to Sprint/Verizon at all (sigh, flar). Now that Samsung has completely locked down their bootloaders for S7/S7E, a non-Sprint HTC or a Nexus are really the only options for flashaholics.

Tried it.  They only had fake phones, nothing actually there.  They had an HTC 10 model, but that was it.

 

At the Sprint store, they didn't even know the HTC 10 existed.  I did get to see the G5 and it's better than I expected.

My Sprint store was excited that I was the first one to get the 10. I was there about 1 pm and they hadn't even put it om display yet.

      Network Vision/LTE - Long Island Market

      Just mapped at least 8 5G small cells (all 109xxxx gNBs) while driving on the Southern State. They all seem to be n25/n41. I'm pretty sure nearly all of them are upgrades of existing small cells as opposed to new builds but I'm glad to see Crown Castle/T-Mobile hard at work getting midband 5G on all of these. Each of the unpinned gNBs belong to 1-2 small cells. I still can't pin these sites until the Cellmapper devs give us the option to split cells for 5G sites.

      Their offers have been crap recently, so this is just more evidence to not buy from T-Mobile.

      T-Mobile Will Soon Prevent Early Payoff Of Phones Receiving Bill Credits If you finance a phone with T-Mobile it will remain locked until paid off but now you won't be able to pay off early. If you don't currently purchase your phones from the manufacturer here is another reason it might be a good idea.

      Was in Red Hook again and I swear there are more Link5G sites as there are Verizon, T-Mobile, and AT&T small cells combined in the entire neighborhood. It seemed like every other street I turned down had one installed. Hopefully carriers will start hopping on them soon. Seems like a lot of effort to go through for no one to use them.  — — — — — T-Mobile converted the Sprint site on top of NYU Langone Brooklyn in Sunset Park. I first mapped one sector of it back in November 2023 but I thought it was a small cell so I never pinned it but I ran into another sector today which caught me off guard. I'm unable to find a permit for the conversion so it's definitely a surprise. There's another T-Mobile site 1 block away that T-Mobile initially installed back in 2019 so I'm kinda surprised they're keeping both considering the Sprint conversion is on a much taller building and could potentially provide much better coverage to the entire area.  — — — — —  Old permit for this new install expired but a new one was recently issued. It's gonna be similar to the site at 360 Forman St in Brooklyn Heights. Permit calls for only 3 antennas to be installed so I'm assuming it gonna be Band 2/41/66 and n25/41 only which is a bit of a downgrade from the now decommissioned full build that was on 871 7th Ave but in it's current state the nearest macro is a few blocks away and a small cell at Broadway and 55th is doing a lot of heavy lifting in the area so anything helps.
