Ah, that is a very valid point, but I would much rather have a device with that caliber screen provided that it gets good battery life than be able to easily access Google Now since I will likely just have it on my homescreen anyway via the widget or app itself. I just wish it was a Nexus. =[ HTC’s skin doesn’t bother me too much even though I am currently running Nova Launcher on my Thunderbolt with leaked Sense ICS.

my main quibble with physical buttons is that they tend to not be upgradable. for instance Google added the Google Now gesture to the soft home button. maybe they’ve implemented a similar gesture with this physical home button (or at least i really hope they have), but what if Google adds another gesture? things like that really expose the limitations of physical buttons. also, they just seem so antiquated

Not saying this will be a great battery life phone but look at the Iphone (i hate to compare to that phone but it seems to do well) it only has 1400 mah battery. 2050 seems like a good boost to compensate for the bigger screen.

Get a rezound battery in your tbolt, go back to liquid 3.2 gingerbread and undervolt your settings to 750 (184, 25x, 35x) and you will get 2 days. I get a full day with 3.5 or 4 hours of screen use. Its not truely about the MAH. Its really about the WHR of the battery vs the phone. I got the rezound battery the other day and im thinking about keeping it another year.

Motorola cameras suck. Have owned only Motorola since the Droid X. Nothing to write home about. Can’t wait to get the Note 2!

for me this comes down to a couple of things. I really don’t want to buy a phone anymore that’s carrier exclusive due to the lack of accessories, the accessory line-up for samsung devices is ridiculous which is nice. Second I’m going to wait and see if the bootloader on the Note2 gets unlocked like the S3 did because samsung devices get a lot of dev. attention which is very important to me. These will be my deciding factors as to whether or not I stay with VZW which I am seriously considering for the first time in a long time, as a matter of fact I’m leaning everyday more and more towards leaving because it seems like they do something everyday that pushes me further away, there coverage and my unlimited plan can only keep me there so long. I think I would rather by an N4 unlocked at that price and test drive T-Mo and AT&T to see which is better in east tennessee.

Hardly, there is nothing wrong with having capacitive buttons on this device, especially when you realize that even if it did not have them, the bezel would not be any smaller than it is because then it would be asymmetrical, so at least they are putting that bezel space to good use. And why have a high-res screen if you are going to sacrifice a portion of it for a strip of buttons instead of using that space to view the content.

Motorola OWNS the Droid brand, so I don’t know what kind of licensing deal Google has with HTC….that might hint something about the software.

Keep your panties on. We don’t know what other advantages this HTC will have besides the 1080 screen. It will probably have all sorts of other selling points in the same way the the Note 2 has a big batter, microSD, and cool software features.

Except for the lack of integrated LTE.
