Yeah, I got the S3 a month ago...patiently (not) waiting for the ONE or the GS4 to hit stores so I can compare. Kid loves the S3 like a puppy.
-
gone daddy gone, the one is gone....yeah it's gone daddy gone...the one is gone.... not Blister in the Sun...song is Gone Daddy Gone. but agreed...HTC should have had the forethought to have these bad boys ready to hit stores as soon as it was announced. Get all the ducks in a row and say "HEY check out this killer phone and oh yeah you can buy it TOMORROW!"

I guess nobody here ever owned the OG Evo...or an Epic 4G....or any WIMAX phone when they were promised the awesomeness of a speed demon 4G network...and waited....and waited....and then WIMAX got scrapped for promise of Network Vision and upgraded to a EVO LTE or a GS3 or other LTE phone when there was minimal LTE network completed (and probably how they end up here) and still in many areas just a hint of LTE on the odd tower or not even on the radar yet? If I bought a phone NOW without 800LTE support, I can almost guarantee with 100% certainty that I will be eligible for another upgrade by the time that part of NV is done in my area. Unless you have the ability to know exactly when the next level upgrades will be completed on NV beyond the initial LTE roll out, then crying about the lack of phones supporting a non-existent part of a network is plain useless. -
yeah, my concern was the comment about not being able to get them back for updates so wonder if you RUU'd if that would also apply....just another pita.

http://www.expertreviews.co.uk/smartphones/1298596/htc-one-bootloader-unlocking-deletes-apps-blocks-future-updates Seriously HTC? I'm certainly hoping this is BS and not some "well you should buy the developer edition if you want to mess with the device" play...
-
another botch job for the us market. Announce the device, make a sweet upgrade offer, then watch the US market sit and wonder if the phone will be available before the upgrade offer expires. Maybe somebody smacked an HTC exec in the head since a 2 week window (if it was available today) isn't a very long one. It sucks that this device is available in Europe (shortages be damned). By the way, how can anyone say the US release of the phone won't be affected by the ultrapixel camera issues unless the phones are already built for each of the carriers and ready to ship...in which case we should have a release date already. end rant

I'd have to laff my arse off if I saw somebody holding this up to their head talking....

I registered for 4 lines since all eligible this year. I upgraded my daughter from the Epic 4G to the GS3, got her gift card, went back the next day for them to price match Radio Shack ($149 vs $99 - which they did wrong and credited me back like $99 plus a bunch of tax) and they asked if I wanted to also apply the gift card but I didn't have to. Plan on using that one, and the one I'll get for my line on my upgrade to the ONE, the GS4 or to maybe snag a GS3 for free once they drop the price! I'll use my other two later in the year for the wife and younger daughter when they upgrade.
-
honestly, the GS4 may sway me to buy a closeout GS3 since it's more the size phone I'm interested in. thankfully I've got a couple BB upgrade gift cards banked!
-
if they don't get their arses in gear, i'm gonna be swayed by the GS4....
-
hmmm....samsung event 3/14....htc "ultrapixel shortage" announced just days before...... Maybe I wait for the bargain bin GS3 once the GS4 is out.
-
seems like HTC can't seem to get out of it's own way anymore. just doesn't bode well if they can't foresee these kinds of production issues until they've already announced the phone and I don't think they seem smart enough to do this as a marketing ploy to make it seem like the phone is so rare that everyone is lining up to get one....
-
Yep, was messing with my friends DNA (insert AJ joke here) and it just seems a little unwieldy - my daughters GS3 seems just about on the high end of how large a phone I want so the One may be the trick (of course I just blew the $100 I would get back from HTC on the deductible for a replacement 3D that I just shattered last night - the pain of which may make me hold out until the GS4 is announced just to be sure).
-
love the headline for this story in Cleveland today... http://www.dispatch.com/content/stories/business/2013/02/25/htc-one-phone-is-larger-than-iphone.html really? An Android phone that's got a bigger screen than an iPhone? Shut the front door!
-
yes...clearly states $100 or value of phone whichever is HIGHER. So if you trade in something the tool says is worth $0 - you still get $100 (unless I'm missing something), but if you trade in something the tool says is worth more than $100, you get the actual value up to $300 IIRC.

(UPDATED) All for HTC One, HTC One for all?
P_M_G commented on WiWavelength's blog entry in The Wall
the 800 question for most of us is moot...I'll be happy if I have ANY LTE by the end of the year in my area of OC which likely means I'm at least another year plus from seeing 800 if I'm lucky. The handful that are enjoying LTE now (either officially or not) should be happy. Since the release of the ONE will be around the announcing of the GS4, that's when I'll make the decision but leaning towards the sturdy ONE. -
If you got $100 for the OG EVO then that'd be a good deal! only offering 175 for the DNA for crying out loud! $20 for my 3D...$35 for my old Galaxy S 4G slider (but $0 since it's got a cracked screen) so I can count on $100 for either.
-
http://www.htctradeup.com/htcone/?q=terms_of_use Seems odd that you have to worry about the condition of your phone and you can't send in anything damaged?? I guess if you wanted more than $100 it would make sense, but I was gonna send in a cracked screen Galaxy S ... I can't find any link to the "tool" you are supposed to use to determine value.

Evo was the first 4G phone and is somewhat Iconic in that respect. The OG Evo was the reason I left Blackberry. It wasn't perfect but the mention was enough to perk up ears. I compared it the iPhone of the day and it wasn't even close. it had a kickstand! Pretty sure the only other carrier to get an Evo branded product is VM which is piggybacked with Sprint, no? I do agree that they (Sprint) fractured the brand with lousy followups...the 3D (nice but less than stellar as the OG's successor)...the View? the Design? the Shift? The design of the 4GLTE was disappointing with the shiny plastic parts and less than desirable bugs (that still seem to be solved), while the OneX was a beauty. Really - at this point - who cares what they call it as long as it works...out of the box preferably.
-
I put a note2 up to my ear like i was making a call and my daughter asked if it was an ipad mini I may be in the minority, but i'm there with mofus in that bigger ain't always better in tech.
-
As one who uses a cupholder to rest my phone in while charging in the car, this makes me unhappy. LTE800? no chance.
-
I'd bitch about the embedded battery - but 2300 is pretty solid. the 2100 in the GS3 seems to go all day even in my daughter's hands so this might no longer be an issue. if it's 32GB or 64GB options, then the SD card is not really much of an issue either...I used to convince myself of that but with play music and pandora I store less and less on my phone...just for times when network access is an issue.
-
so long story short - got her the GS3 and may have convinced myself to get one as well (not looking forward to a 5" GS4). Of course, I missed the $99 window at BB and it was $149...when I mentioned it the gal reminds me 30 day price match...found it at RadioShack on sale for $99 today so I'm heading back to get the difference...$49 net for this phone is pretty damn good.
-
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?).

Let me know when it builds a DEATH STAR!
