I’ll most definitely be getting it through T-Mobile since they are the one I am with now. I can’t wait to get a look at the 1080p display, since I’ve been hearing a lot of good about it. I watch shows on my phone a lot, since the only time I really get to keep up with them is on the way
to and from work at DISH. I’ve got the DISH Anywhere app on my phone, which lets me stream my live and recorded shows anywhere I go, and I think it would be great with the 1080p display on the HTC One.

So from what I’m gathering now, it seems you can remove it as your default homescreen, so you don’t have to constantly look at it when you open your phone, however, it remains constant, as one of your other home screens…which is just dumb.

The one real benefit is a reduction of clutter on your desktop and floor…with wires hanging around, waiting to be plugged into your device.

I liked Sense too…back when I had my Droid Incredible, REALLY liked it… but Android design has advanced greatly since then, and Sense just doesn’t compare to stock Jellybean 4.2.2. (By the way, no one’s even discussing how this phone is being released not even o the latest version of Android.)

Sad that my Droid Incredible’s camera is still better than my Galaxy Nexus. My Droid Incredible also had the best speakers of any phone I’ve ever had…designed extremely well (and that was before the Beats partnership).

Why do these manufacturers keep messing up these phones? On a pure design, and spec level, I would be all over this phone. The casing and screen are gorgeous, the speakers are heaven sent, the Sense tv features are great, and the Zoes, while not necessary, are a nice plus. But the ridiculous blink feed, ugly sense, crazy button set up (really? third button missing for a logo? As if the huge HTC on the back isn’t enough), and janky navigation make this phone NOT the ONE for me. I loved Sense back in the day when stock Android was ugly, but Google’s design is fantastic in appearance and function now, and way better than what HTC, Samsung and the lot keep insisting on piling on top of it. If they kept this phone as close to stock android as possible, this would be a clear winner…but they didn’t.

Actually HTC’s BlinkFeed can be turned off if you like your home screen the traditional way.

I personally LOVE it. I was at the event and I was playing with an executives phone who he didn’t mind me screwing around with. I added my Facebook, twitter Instagram, some text blogs and a general news category. It took about a minute to sync and wow. It’s actually real fantastic if you enjoy social networks. I missed HTC friendstream but that was kind of buggy, this on the other hand is a Facebook news feed integrated with twitter feeds and nice Instagram pictures is just fantabulous. Probably wouldn’t appeal to some, but a lot of people use Facebook, twitter, Instagram everyday so there’s definitely a market. Wish you could remove.

I’m leaving Verizon in July, my whole family is leaving by next year. Now, not sure if I should go for AT&T or T-Mo. Tmo is definitely cheaper. AT&T is more expensive than my Verizon plan but has better network than tmo

Verizon knew this phone was coming and opted for a DNA anyway. They are stupid for accepting last-gen phones with new features grafted in to them.

I understand, But rarely do you (need to) print a 1:1 ratio. Human eyes are only so good. Even up close. Also, the 1080p was in reference to you saying “so the only thing i use my phone for, is video recording.”

Didn’t HTC start the MP battle that they’re now shunning with the DROID Incredible?

Verizon wants to sell accessories and make more money. The SSD slot would sell some cards, but margins are tiny on them and deals are always better online. The wireless charging pads are still new, expensive no matter where you get them, and no clear defined ‘This is the best charging pad out there’ so they can sell there crap with confidence.

I think Verizon was smart not to pick up this phone. Verizon probably feels slighted after running an ad campaign specifically for the DNA; then HTC turns around and releases a bigger, better flagship. Why should Verizon push the offspring of an HTC Windows Phone that felt up an IPhone 5?
