well I don't blame. I'm assuming you live in the stone ages since your hiding behind a stone wall and think this phone is cool...
haha.

probably... i mean to make such a big hype for a phone that's a brick? no 4g...? no front facing camera? this literally looks like a Nintendo DS as a phone. It doesn't really appeal to me and probably a lot of other people.

Probably not. It is an industry first, but it's also pretty much just a gimmick, like 3D. I would have been much more interested in a dual core phone, or even an Evo with an updated processor.
I can see how it would be good for mulittasking...if it had the power of a dual core processor...but the specs are very underwhelming, and the battery life is going to be horrible.

Its not that bad a phone but sprint did themselves a great disservice by hyping it up so much. People where expecting something huge and instead got a phone.

it's sort of like taking a ds. And then taking out the gaming capabilities of it, and then.... selling it.

Yes. Yes you are.

The issue is that it "may" be a good phone once some people get their hands on it and play with it.
But you cannot deny the overwhelming negative response (see their facebook page) as a pretty big sign that it may not be a good phone.
If you look at it from a sales/marketing POV they would much rather have a phone that everyone thinks looks really cool at a press release, but then falls a little short of expectation in the real world. At least they sell some phones, and the high initial praise helps sustain the life of the phone.
Now look at this situation, especially in this economy, 99% of the initial response is bordering "verbal lynch mob", even if it a good phone, how many people will actually give it a chance?
First impressions can kill...........

It's an interesting concept, I'll give them that, but it's made by Kyocera, looks like a brick and not a lot of developers will go out of their way to make use of both screens.

I've seen almost nothing on the phone, but I agree. The hype was the worst of it.
I recall saying something similar would be great. I dropped the thought when tablets came.
EDIT-saw the video. WTF? Now I know why people said brick. I no longer have any interest even in passing.

The biggest issue is that from what i understand, its a basic Android. Phone with a 2nd gen snap dragon running 2 screens. Won't that hurt performance?

4G - I don't have it...and i don't need it.
Front facing camera - Mine sucks..i hardly use it.
Maybe it's just the cool factor of it, but I think it looks more professional than the Evo.

now thats just silly!
But, remember,
you will never get an update past the OS that they ship it with
you get like a whole 5 apps that can utilize both screens, and no developer is going to waste time expanding their code base to accommodate this
and now i have lost interest! lol

Actually its the second gen check out engadget fire more proof...i don't feel like providing it.
. Under the hood there's a 1GHz second-gen Snapdragon running Android 2.2 -- we'll forgive the older software because Kyocera had to do extensive customization to add dual-screen support to seven core apps like the browser, email, and messaging.

I wish I had never bought my Note...

My reason? I have finally stopped trying to find the perfect Android phone! I have had so many over the years and was constantly looking for the perfect one. Got a GSM Galaxy Nexus last month and fell in love...until I fell out of love with ICS. Seriously if the Nexus came with Gingerbread, it would be just another phone. The camera sucks, etc.
The Note literally has everything I want in a phone. I'm finding myself sitting here enjoying it without searching incessantly for a better phone. Feels kinda strange, actually.
My wallet thanks me and I'm a happy camper. Best phone ever.

I really need to stop reading about new android devices. Makes me want to catch em all. But no worries, I love my note.. for now.

I had a try with the galaxy nexus here in the shops....i must say i was very dissapointed with it....the screen is not as vibrant plus ics is also not as good of an os as i was expecting....but maybe thats because i only played with it for about fifteen minutes..

I can honestly say, I wont be buying another device until Galaxy Note 3.

WOW! Those are some specs!
A phone with those specs will be hard to ignore! GNote is doing great for now! It really does do so many things well!

For now the Note is the best.
It has got its problems here and there.
I had problem when I transferred to many apps to Ext SD
and the phone keeps on rebooting. Can't seem to handle
the extra apps in Ext SD, don't why.
Still it is a great phone & mini Tab.

Best combination ever= GNote and Jailbroken iPhone 4.
The SIM is in my note for now, but some times I just needed that smaller form factor. Pop the SIM out of the adapter and back into my iPhone, head on out!

Do you have a cite for this? I have never heard about it.
I tried 3D on the Evo at a store and I was quite impressed with both viewing and the camera. I expect the technology will only get better and I would be pleased if the GS3 has 3D. However I am not sure whether I would want to go back to the smaller size and lose the S-pen.
A Galaxy Note 2 with 3D, NFC and quad-core would be utterly amazing though.

Are you sure that's true? Haven't seen the news on any of the popular tech sites, the phone has a single camera but is supposed to shoot 3D?

Sorry to hear of your troubles ericshmerick.
I cannot understand why your unhappy with the camera, possibly a problem with the camera or phone itself?
As for myself I'm extremely pleased with the camera, video camera and it's results, BEST i've seen in a mobile...
Here are some samples I've taken myself with the Note, you can judge the photos yourself.
Unfortunately I've not had a chance to use the camera during the day just yet, will try and take some proper day time shots soon!

Give me Windows on Note
I completely agree with you.
The Note has the best HW I ever has seen, except the placement of the on/off switch, which, however, is a minor disadvantage. But Android is terrible, synchronisation with Outlook is terrible, lot of apps are terrible and very badly designed or not intuitive to use. I like it as an eBook reader. The rest is a crap more or less, unusable for business.
I wished this device having Windows!!!

And ode to one of our fallen brighten......

My beloved HTC Nexus One.

He was with me in the worst of times (Sony x10), and the best of times (HTC sensation, Samsung Galaxy S2).
He helped me not to lose my way (GPS), and always had something funny to say! (Youtube, twitter, joke of the day via google)
He always disliked fellow OS's that thought they had something he didn't (apple, blackberry, and most of all.....windows)
But he was NEVER a hater.....
He was the original TRAIL BLAZER, as we can all attest to his sense of voyeurism, and his want; no NEED, to be the pioneer and game changer in the washed out industry of cellular.
How can we forget his track ball that notified us who was contacting us? Or was that his way of saying.......... "Don't you forget about me." (Simple minds)
In my mind he will always be number 1. And his good friends CM7, MIUI have and will always have fond things to say about him.
I remember Steve Kondik saying once "Do you remember that one time he forgot to flash the gapps??? How embarrassing, HAHAHAHA!" It wasn't funny back then, but as time went on, the humour of the situation began to shine thru! I saw my N1 crack a smile......
He went thru numerous surgeries, swap-outs, re-boots, and firmware upgrades. And lived to tell another story.
He loved desert. Ones worth mentioning were eclair, frozen yogurt, and gingerbread. A funny thing about N1; he was always the first to the table with spoon in hand.
As we speak he is being sold for parts on Craigslist. However he was always greater than the sum of his parts.
Thank you N1!

By The Way, What phone is that in the upper left corner? Some sort of Samsung?

Yea the phone in the top corner of the pic is a Samsung galaxy note!
I was trying to fix the power button issue and accidentally crunched part of the main board

UPDATE: I've upgraded to the Galaxy Nexus...... Once a nexus fan, always a nexus fan!
Cheers guys!

How do you like it so far, coming from N1 to the GN, Ive been debating on it for a while now. Mines not dead yet got Medroid ICS running currently, but in the future when the prices drop and there are a few used ones running around, Is it a good phone worth getting. Basically what i'm asking is from your personal preferences a list of pros and cons about it.

R.I.P
A sad day indeed!

One of the issues with the n1 was the lack of internal memory. That ALWAYS drove me bananas. That ASIDE, it still went toe-to-toe with the heavy weights out there! My thoughts are because it was meant to be a developers phone. If you were to look at the specs of the n1 against other phones in its prime time, you would think that it would not compare. Build quality was awesome, and with android it was a match made in heaven (thanks Cyanogenmod) .
I thought a bit about what phone to get next. Creeping thru XDA helped my decision on the gnex as well as the nexus one. Both devices had/have HUGE Developer support (see cyanogenmod, aokp , miui, fransisco Franco just to name a few......)
This was my deciding factor in choosing the Samsung Galaxy Nexus. As well as ICS outta the box with hardware acceleration.
Did I forget anything, lol?!

It was a good poem, but can't really agree to it being a sad day. I don't know, I guess I don't wholeheartedly attach to any phone I buy. Sure, it's a great phone and I don't know what I would do without it, but I wouldn't mind switching it for a better one any day of the week. Though, if my only alternative was an iPhone 4S, I'd stick with the Nexus.
Regarding the internal memory. That doesn't bother me much with the use of an A2SD script. But the seemingly unsolvable issue with not being able to download big market apps is one thing that really drives me crazy.

I'm guessing English is not his first language.

I could barely understand what you are asking for, but I doubt Quad Cores will give you good battery life. The Atrix is already big enough with its dual core CPU and somewhat mediocre battery life. I would say go with the Atrix, thing is a beast once you flash a custom ROM onto it!

tegra 3 i heard it has an extra core (5 instead of 4) for idle processing so that instead of all the cores running at low speeds it has only one running to conserve battery or so nvidia said

haha im sorry guys. My phone has the touch screen glitch which makes one half not wok properly. And I know, the thread was named wrong LOL and also i think i made this at 2 in the morning. Which doesn't help. I wanna know what are some phones that have the same specs (or better) Than the atrix, like I wanna be able to dual-boot miui and cyanogen mod and has good battery life. i was looking at the droid 3 but i don't know, what do you guys think? sorry about the confusing post again haha

To be 100% honest - most people here DO suck at typing, earthquakes notwithstanding ... and spelling and grammar and ... well, you get the idea.

Atrix would be the best phone ever if it had a 4.5+inch screen, 4inch is small nowadays.

In my opinion, the Atrix is the best all-rounded phone I've ever owned.
Snappy speed, perfect sized screen, excellent battery life, good loudspeaker, lots of memory

Yes, 4+1 as they say. I believe its clocked are 500mhz for small tasks

I still think the Atrix is an awesome phone. I just purchased one over the Atrix 2.
How big of a freaking phone do you want in your jacket or pants pocket? I don't know about you, but I don't want a huge device in my pocket. I want a size that is large enough to get stuff done, but not be so huge where it sucks down the battery and becomes a pain to carry around.
I really think a 4.3" screen is the limit. I liked the smaller 4" screen on the Atrix better because it would obviously suck a little less battery down and its just the right size with a case on it.
HTC just announced the One X with a 4.7" screen?! I mean c'mon, WTF, if you want to carry that beast around thats great, but have fun.
The "bigger is better" theory with cell phone screens does not ring true for me.

Enough with the negativity on this phone

I am sick and tired of reading negative comments/pages on this phone. I do not own this phone as of yet but I know for a fact this isn't a piece of junk. It is the best smartphone HTC has put out as of yet and its hands down argubally one of the best smartphone out now. Can we please share what the positives are about this phone ?? What we LIKE and LOVE. I want to read about what makes this phone the ONE rather then scaring people off with the negativity, especially the ones who are hesitant on buy this phone.

The only reason why these forums are so negative is because not everyone is going to write about the positives because they have nothing to gain. When people write about negatives, they are searching for answers or advice if that makes sense. There is only a small herd that is bashing the phone but the only reason why it seems everyone is doing it is because they are the most vocal

Ok well it has a great screen, its unbelievably sharp. I personally could see the pixels on a Retina, or SAMOLED screen at about 300DPI, but i really cannot seem them on this screen. You do not see aliasing on any angles at all, ever.
The TV remote function is great, it works, from a distance, which i didnt think it would. The TV app is pretty good to.
The sound output is very nice. Typical Beats (a bit of muddy bass), but if you like that, its really nice. The bundled headphones seem to be Beats headphones in a cheaper housing. Its LOUD, both from the stereo speakers and the headphones, something very few phones are.
It seems to playback almost any type of file at any bit-rate, as long as you use a third party app. My S3 wouldnt play a lot of the stuff ive tried on the One.
Build quality issues aside, it is solidly made. It feels like a sold piece of metal. No flex, no creaks, nothing.
The camera is very good at focusing and great in low light. Dont worry to much about it being 4MP unless you tend to zoom in or crop images a lot.
Its a bit early to comment on speed. It feels slow compared to the S3 at doing most things, but its on early firmware, its not fair to compare to a well developed year old unit. I remember being underwhelmed by the S3 at first.

Expect it lol! SGS4 is coming samsung is probably spending a fortune for thousands of users to bash the HTC One all over the internet.
Even youtube got owned by samsung.. Imagine I searched the word HTC One in the search bar then I get a Galaxy 4 promo video on the top of the search results lol! So much for accurate results eh?

Every new phone has issues. The s4 will have plenty. This is where you write about the issues

The ads come based on your search history. Maybe you've been reading about S4 a bit lately. I do not get that ad on my screen

I'm also sick of Samsung ans apple trolls ranting on about how bad the one is. The phone is great and I won't let them spoil it for me

Same here, I got this phone because it's the one I wanted, for me it's head and shoulders above anything that's out, and I'd most definitely choose it over the s4, why because it's what I wanted in a phone and no amount of people bashing it will change my opinion of it. They just get ignored.

Nah, I haven't search Samsung's product in all my youtube usage history, and yet Samsung note 2 or S4 pops out when I looking for "New One" or "Padfone 2(which I own now)". Soooooo annoying.
But hey , I don't think all the blames are bad or what, some of them make sense. Well, some of them are just, hmm, random complaints from nowhere.

Nice try but nope
Why would I search s4? lol I'd rather get IPhone 4 than galaxy s4 since I am a design freak lol!

People bashing the Htc one are here for a reason. They are scared. They know its the best phone out there and a phone that will hurt Samsung .

There's two parts to it. The first part are people with issues that want the phone. These are the people that are within their right to be complaining. Then you have the people that are just here to bash the phone to try and justify their intended purchasing of the S4. Those people need to be banned.

Sorry guys, this thread has no place in a device forum.
