Anyone check out the source today? User’s post was taken down and replaced with a surrender gif. HTC must have gone after him

Rezound 2

I’m tired of the whole thinner-is-better smartphone nonsense. The ultra thin phones are less comfortable to hold and by being so thin, there’s no room to add better features including bigger batteries. And I couldn’t care less about putting my phone in my pocket because I keep mine in a protective case in a belt holster.

If HTC paired this phone with a 3500+ mAh battery, I wouldn’t care. But HTC is still too concerned about thickness.

Yeah, and that’s why I refuse to buy ANY smartphone that doesn’t have a swappable battery. I don’t care how ‘spectacular’ it might be.

I have a One X. I love it. Honestly though, I can’t make it through a day on battery. I get about 2.5-3 hours of on screen time. If HTC goes with a 5″ 1080p SLCD2, this phone has no chance of making it through a day. Just look at the pictures. That phone is thin.

What you say is true but smartphone makers are constantly striving for more powerful processors and batteries so that we can enjoy better displays as well as other features. They are supposed to try to make their products better.

Would this be a good buy for my next update after my Rezound?

I just bought and use the big extended battery on my HTC Rezound, and it easily gets me through a full 24 hours with moderate to heavy use. When I buy a new smart phone, the first accessory I purchase for it is always an extended battery. In fact, I always verify before I purchase the smart phone, that they do indeed offer an extended battery. And for me, one of the absolute joys of buying and using a phone with a removable battery, is the fact that if I’m using the extended battery and it for some reason goes flat. Well I can just take it out and pop in the fully charged regular/default battery. Plus, with the ability to buy as many regular or extended batteries as I’d like. I don’t really see how I could ever be caught in a situation, relatively speaking, where I didn’t have an ample amount of juiced batteries sitting in reserve until they are called forth for duty. Sure the power could go out and I wouldn’t be able to use an outlet to charge them. But I keep them all fully charged at all times whether they needed at the time or not, and they hold a stationary charge for quite a long time. And, if they over go bad from sitting on the charger at all times, I’ll just replace them, and I also cycle them regularly through the phone. I just personally don’t understand why someone would want to give up that freedom in the battery and or storage department, but hey, to each their own. But as I’ve said in previous posts, I’m very much hoping that it becomes to where non-removable battery/storage top tier phones are the only thing available to purchase. That will truly be a sad, iPhone-esque day for the world of Android and the community. If those freedoms became forever lost, well as much as it pains me to say, I might have to abandon the Android ship. And since the other smart phone choices are worst, bleak or similar in degradation of user choice and freedom, well dumb phone here I come once again. To me and as should be everyone else, a smart phone is always going to be luxury and definitely not anywhere near a necessity.

I would second your idea of a dream HTC smart phone, but I would add one more feature. I would want it to have simple storage, in essence, I would want it to have – Internal Storage & SD card Storage, that is it. I absolutely despise the storage allocation on my HTC Rezound. I personally believe it to be the most idiotic way to allocate memory/storage. Instead of what I had on my previous phone, the Motorola Droid X, where I had the lovely aforementioned Internal & SD (External). Now I’m stuck with a storage scheme that could only have only been conceived and commissioned by a drunk or retardedly high HTC employee. They say “Well not as many developers offer the ability to move your apps to the SD card”, well I eagerly say “BULLSH!T!!!!” to that sentiment!

I download apps like a madman on an app-binge. Brand new or super old, I use and own them all, of all possible varieties. And if I use my phone’s default APP2SD function, or use a third-party app to do so, well the ratio of apps that allow for moving to the SD card versus those that do not, well the percentage of those that do is massive compared to the opposite, and I currently have quite a few apps installed.

Yet, the geniuses at HTC, thought it would be funny to p!ss me off, and they allocated the storage as such – Phone Storage/Internal Storage/External Storage (aka-SD, External 2, Ext 2). And I have found not a single way to move a single damn app to my 32GB external SD card. Hell, it’s a pain in the anus just finding a File Explorer that reads it properly, luckily I did though. But my SD card sits inside my Rezound with only 5GB’s of it being utilized. And a good portion of that 5GB’s being filled up, is stupid system crap that actual SD card needs and uses to function. Yes I know I can store movies and photos and songs on it, but that isn’t a pressing need for me personally. What I do need is more space for the many applications that I like to download and use regularly. The what I consider to be, moronic wisdom, of thinking it’s a wonderful idea to partition the phone’s internal storage into two parts, well d@mnit I think it’s so annoyingly stupid and completely less effective than the simple “Internal & External (SD)” scheme. As much as I enjoy using my Rezound, that one little niggle really sours the experience, and keeps it from reaching the status of what I consider to be a perfect smart phone.

Not for me, no it’s not. I own and use a Rezound daily, and I’ve never experienced negative or bad multi-tasking issues.

While that is true, those extra pixels require a lot of processing power for very little appreciable difference. There may be a couple times under normal use that you notice it, but the processing power, and hence battery drain, will be constant.

Why is it that the silly notion of once the ppi gets past a certain number that its useless just because you can’t see the individual pixels? That’s nonsense because although you can’t see the pixels, you CAN see a huge difference in the minute details of the overall images displayed on the screen.
