I don’t understand it. I think people just treat their phones bad. All HTC phones I’ve had (Droid Incredible, Thunderbolt, and Rezound) haven’t suffered from the issue. Though, I only had the Rezound for a week lol

Cool. I am a fan of the international one, I kind of feel that the US models (while still good phones) polluted the design a bit, made it too much like the other offerings on the market.

The international one. A lot of people hate the plastic, but I find it a very handsome device. Different strokes, and all that.

HTC says they’ve fixed the manufacturing issue causing that and they’re replacing any effected devices.

Best screen and LTE? I’m not sure if anything like that is hitting Verizon but from what I’ve seen, the Super LCD 2 on the One X and Evo 4G LTE is the best you can get. They both have LTE too.

Normally I wouldn’t reply to a fevered, mostly nonsensical rant, like this. However for the sake of the comments I’ll correct you on the HTC One Series Stuff. As far as the One X screen distortion goes, I think it’s a non-issue. I didn’t see a single review that mentioned it as a problem. You have to press down on the bezel for it to happen, it’s a bit hard to put much pressure on the bezel when holding a phone normally. Lastly, I tested it on my OG Evo and found that if I press hard enough I can get the same thing to happen, that combined with reviewers not noticing, leads me to believe that the people who reported the issue were simply pressing too hard in an odd spot.

Now, as for the One S, the chipping problem effected many users, but not most. HTC also handled the situation pretty brilliantly by saying they’ve fixed the issue in manufacturing, and replacing any phones with the chipping problem for free.

Just out of curiosity, are you talking about the “real” international SGSII or the US Carrier versions?

I’ve had my original Evo for two years and it’s in almost perfect condition, no hardware problems whatsoever. The kickstand is slightly looser than it used to be, but that’s probably my own fault for constantly messing with it when I’m holding the phone.

I’d like to see a new iteration of the hd2 design with the speakergrill on top, isosceles trapezoid form in the crosssection with the curved back, just thinner, softkeys or capacitive buttons, unibody, multicolor. no funny design stuff. I like the lumi, and the curved edges htc one displays anthe the front of the galaxy nexus

I’ve noticed the exact same thing. Buttons also seem to fail and the kickstands fall off. There is not one person I know that owns an HTC device that hasn’t had hardware issues.

I notice a lot (A LOT!!) of HTC devices suffer from the falling-usb-port-issue, wtf is up with that?

And carrier logos! In the states, almost every OEM bends over to the carrier to meet their demands of adding a horrifically ugly carrier logo to the face! They need to be more like Apple and say “No. Its OUR device. WE manufacture it. You don’t. Your logo doesn’t belong on my phone.”
Its the reason the Droid Incredible 2 is so ugly as well as the Thunderbolt. Check out how the HTC EVO looked like before Sprint forced HTC to put their logo on the face! Looks 10x better!
But Samsung should keep their logo off the face altogether. Their logo is ugly.
But the ugliest logo of them all is T-Mobile’s horrifically ugly logo! Sickens me! They defaced the GORGEOUS One S! It looks SO HIDEOUS with T-Mobile’s logo!!

That’s actually wrong. Glossy actually is less slippery than soft touch, and in my opinion, soft touch looks better, though the diretion Samsung took with the SGSII is a step in the right direction. Glossy scratches too easily, soft-touch is kinda ugly. But whatever texture Samsung is using for their battery covers isn’t slippery, doesn’t get fingerprints, and looks good.
