Ok, this isn't about taking away from people who are having genuine problems.
I don't have the phone yet but very much want it
If you got this phone and think its good and was a good choice for your upgrade say hi.
Please don't bother otherwise, there's plenty of threads for that. Itd b nice to counter the balance a bit As the title says....

The phone feels fantastic in hand. It's form factor is what I would call perfect. On top of that, the build quality is surprising. I have no "creaks" or shoddy feeling areas like on the Atrix.
Hi!

I agree thers nothing but people moaning at the moment! Im personally loving this phone coming from an x10 glad I upgraded early.

Zero problems .
GPS works and locks and sticks to route .
WiFi as good as SGS1
Battery no problems .
Screen no problems .
Sounds excellent though i can understand thats it not much good if you want to distort the sounds with extreme treble or base .

Hi, good phone, no real problems just slight weak wifi
Absolutely no problems here. Only gripe I have with phone at the moment is the game selection. But Live Holdem Poker works and thats the only one I play daily.

I don't know if the battery could be better but besides that this is an impressive phone. After you use this for a couple of days it is very hard to look back !!!
Pretty much everything is great for me. TW took a little time to get used to but it's been a solid experience
had this phone for a few weeks now and after my much loved hero, this is in a different league! if you dont have it, do sumthin to get it, you will not be dissappointed
Im loving my phone. Feels great in the hand. Doesnt feel too light! The screen is the finest screen ive seen on any smartphone. The blacks are just that. Ive not noticed any wifi strength issues at all. Call quality is very clear. Voice commands work impressively well. No reception issues.
I can also confirm that i am getting approximately 32 hours of normal everyday use out of one charge. Which i believe to be very impressive.
Luckily i can say ive not had a single issue that others have reported.
Best phone I've ever owned (came from G1 to Desire to this)
Thanks for the effort peeps interesting to see a couple of names from bug threads still rate the phone. Its a shame about how few came on tho, leads me to think that either
a) the phone sucks, don't believe that personally. Iv had a couple of sessions on it now in phones4u and cpw n love it.
b) people prefer to be negative than positive, this I can believe.
c) most have been happy enough with it to not bother coming to this forum
d) people don't want to comment knowing some **** will either bash them about being a noob or use the new favorite and call them a troll

I'll keep it short. I love this phone, its awesome. Its not perfect (a perfect phone will probably never exist) but I'm happier with this than I was with my SG1. I may even go as far to say that I'm more excited with this phone than I was when I got my first Nexus One. (the N1 was a huge upgrade for me, and my first real switch to android)
I don't have any serious problems, and haven't been disapointed in any way. My GF has a brand new HTC Inspire, and I would love to throw that away and get her one of these.
My setup is in my sig.

Sexiest phone out of the Galaxy S line up by far...
Omg my vibrant came today, but i had it sent to my cousins house because i work all day, and they are not around.....
I need to play with my damn phone. Let me have it *sob*
**** 100 POSTS TODAY, OH YEA
I also love my vibrant coming from a nexus one... the only thing the nexus had over this was development, flash for cam , trackball/notification led... I love the vibrants the awesome Multitouch, bigger brighter screen/samoled, awesome processor/gpu (hell benchmarks are about the same as the rumored dual core T-Mobile phone), And I actually like touch wiz believe it or not..... I don't have a gps issue and even if so if it get me close I'm smart enough to figure out the rest, I can wait for a fix because from what I can tell mine works great , got me to a few places already no problem .... compass is wack but I've never used that so don't effect me.
I love the music player and the tw music player interface . Its got a sweet movie player too that plays avi and xvid like a champ...
All around I'm happy I made the switch, the n1 with fake Multitouch did it for me, I had to move on.... awesome phone..
You don't want positive posts here, now do we haha...*cough* jon c and byron or bryon.
I love my phone too!!!! I have had it officially two weeks now and so far so good. No GPS problems here, no menu button problem, no lag (not even close), I tested it side by side with my friends evo and this phone still went faster and looked crisper, no skipping, no nothing baby! Finally someone who had nice things to say about this phone.
I know this will probably bother some of you, but I haven't liked a phone this much since my iphone 3g. HD2 horrible, slide good phone but small.

I own them all (I deal in phones) and the only that competes with the vibrant is the iPhone 4 display (incredible) but I still keep my sim in my vibrant (mostly)

Ya know, it's true. With all the negative stuff about the phones gps and compass problems, it actually IS nice to see a positive thread about it! I too have the same gps and compass problems. BUT, unless they are hardware related I will patiently wait for fixes. I am just so pumped about the speed Froyo will bring!!!
*although the data and apps stored to the internal sd card thing does concern me because the I/O is lame in comparison to the Droid X. Why would sammy gimp their awesome hardware like that?!?!
It's only been out for a little while. It will only get better from here. And it's pretty dang good right now!
hi guys,
i'm new to this forum..currently, i'm doing some research for SNS as i'm going to make a choice between this device or other HTC devices. Regrettable choice is intolerable! I was totally confuse really. I heard there are some recognizable problems with SNS such as no LED notification, no fm radios, bad compass and etc. So i would like to ask, whether this phone is worth to grab, and what make it so special compare to other phone?
i'm using a lot of gps for navigation, and i used to sync a lot to fb and my google account, and imap for e-mail is very crucial for me. USB Thetering or bluetooth tethering is available here? i used to chase custom roms when i was with my htc phones before for performance improvement. Sometimes, i made a good time playing games from my phone to release tension. so does this phone still worth for me?
if there's anyone coming from DHD, did you satisfied migrating to SNS?
Thanks
I'm coming from dhd and i am pretty satisfied...
Dhd battery is awful and the screen is really bad too. I really dont care about the fm lack, i never used it in my old phones. And for led notification i use bln and it works just fine.
Dhd is too big, and despite htc's fame for making devices with good materials, i really dont like dhd build construction, my volume button doesn't last three months, also my power button. The speaker is really low and in call volume isn't the best thing either.
I really like my nxs, sure i miss some things from dhd (like the ram amount), but the overall experience is really better...
edit: ah, the thing i really miss is the browser. Nexus browser is simply pathetic when compared to dhd one

Gps is outstanding. All tethering is available. The nexus is a great choice as it seems to do everything better. I came from htc. The pure ginger bread feels like what other phones work towards. The custom roms are the most stable you will find. The phone is sexy with a curved screen and completely blacked out. I use gps every single day and always locks instantly. Over clocking makes it perform better than dual core, with out all the bugs of tegra.(still new) I have no regrets, fits perfect in pocket and sitting down doesn't feel like it will break in the pocket since the phones screen hugs your leg from the curve. Personally the size its great not rediculously large or too small, very classy to show off. And no lag...ever . If you want some extra features go with decks rom, it integrates cm7 features with fantastic bagreet life and a stock feel ..which is a very good thing on the nexus.

Came from a Desire Z and Desire, the NS still feels snappier and gives more battery life. The only thing HTC has a upper hand on is the browser which is the best on any mobile platform! Sense is good but it really bogs down the system, plus it's just pure eye candy especially with sense 3.0

I've had my NS for about 3 months now, and all flaws it had has been fixed.
Since this was my first smartphone, I don't know if my opinion really is of that much weight, but I love my phone, it's simply put amazing.
The screen is incredible.
The build quality doesn't leave anything to be desired.
The ROMs available are awesome.
The... eh screw that, it's just awesome in every aspect.
I can guarantee you this: you will NOT be disappointed.
Oh, and welcome to the NS forums

cant wait to get the phone delivered. still, have to wait till end of this month
but, you guys are so friendly..i would be happy to join this community
I didn't come from a Desire HD but I have played with a Desire, and a Desire HD and personally owned a Xperia x10, and a Samsung Captivate...and recently bought an xperia Arc and traded it yesterday for a Nexus S.
The Nexus S is miles better than all the phones I listed above. Its just so fast and smooth...one word that comes to mind is slick. The build quality is amazing, the device is the most comfortable device I have ever used. Calling, texting, and web browsing is amazing and better than all listed above. I love this phone and think you will be very happy with it.
I know from now on the only Android device I will ever own is the Nexus line of phones, and they are googles baby so you'll always be looked after : )
hurrmmmm...sry for bumping up this thread..by the way, currently, I've been looking for i9020 but seems, it was pretty rare in malaysia..and if there is, the price was like +-300 for one amoled screen!! so guys, is it really worth it to aim for amoled, or i could just take i9023 for super clear lcd? hurmm
I also looked into nexus s , coming from desire and all htc bull**** with updates. How is screen in nexus s? Its not gorilla , easy to scratch? Also battery life? What about rom space , can we use all 16 gb or are there partitions? Thanx guys

I think Samsung could have done a better job with the ROM. The SGS II Roms are great and very stable.
Memory Management, Optimization are a few things Samsung needs to improve with the Note. Once thats there, I dont see why this device cant rock even more just out of the box.
I am very curious if ICS will bring our Notes really to a higher level
I love the note too!
The big screen is very handy for surfing and remote PC.
The speed?..... Blazing fast, boot also! (I came from a Galaxy S I9000).

For the record: i love my Note! It's not fair comparing it to gs2 seeing as those ROMs have had a year of polishing and optimizing. Get back to me when note ROMs are as mature and we'll talk.

and with ics it will be another story
Just trying the alpha ics has been amazing and very difficult to go back to gingerbread. When ics does finally get leaked for us it will open up the true capabilities I think. It just brings a level of performance that is near impossible to reach with any amount of tweaking on gingerbread.
that's right... i mean that ics will be better for the battery duration .... with a good ram managment the battery life can be longer
Yeah.. I love my Gnote too.. Captains perogative..

I love it too!! I just have two things to say. First, people who pay 700+ for a phone with problrms have every right to complain about it and instead of being mean to them I feel that we could read the parts we like and ignore the rest. After all, hope boring life would be if everyone had the same opinion.... good god, we would all end up liking some like whoopi goldberg or george bush (dumbya)...
Second (not directed to u). I have ICS on my son's samsung Nexus and the settings actually look like a big step backwards instead of a leap forward. Im actually thinking of leaving 2.3.6 once ICS ever makes it to the Note.
My two cents.
2 things I wished the Note had...
1. More ram...1.5gb would rock.
2. 32gb internal storage..
but it still rocks.
More RAM would be nice, and better battery management. I have rooted and installed a firewall and autorun (to prevent pesky apps popping up whenever they feel like eating some of my battery ), and it now lasts the day. I should not have to root and configure just for a full day's battery IMO, but that is Android all over.
Other than that, it is pretty much the very best phone I have ever used and beats all my previous desires (and creates new ones, of course). Prior to that it was my i-mate Jas Jar with 640x480 screen and full qwerty keyboard. Windows was pants, however, and "inactive sync" finally made me give it up.
My note with a custom noreve case (ordered) and my slim Think Outside full size folding BT keyboard (and mouse if I ever find it again) makes the very best of any smartphone that exists today, IMO!
I came from imate jas jar to HTC hd2 and now the Note. I'm absolutely loving it
I'm just wondering how long I can go before the bug gets to me and I start flashing new roms. I used to flash my HD2 almost every week.

You're right. Though to be fair, mostly people have been arguing with the people who start complaining that this is a bad phone or pretending that the display sucks (in general, not of a particular defective piece).
Like everyone here I love my note a lot too and I'm not complaining mine, m previous phone was a nokia N97mini and it was a disaster, apart from the really sexy yet sofisticated look the entire phone was a mess. Paint coming off every where, tons of random crashes lack of updates and don't get me started about the OS. Just like that the list goes on and on and I don't wanna waste anyone's time but basically I didn't know what I was missing in mobile technology till I got my iPod that's when I realize 'this phone really sucks'. So coming from a very rudimentary phone I can't complain much but I will not deny there is room for improvement like the brightness, I wish I could decrease further than using a different app to decrease it which I realised also cause lack in color quality. I'm really looking forward to ICS hoping it will answer all my prayers

Composed on my Samsung Galaxy Note using XDA Premium app
Got my note a few days ago and loving it, too. I was a bit disappointed with the stock software, but after flashing Cassie's XtraLiteRom v8 and JKays mod it performs like it should and is nice to use.
Android could certainly take a few hints from MeeGo on how to build a user-friendly UI, though.
I loooove mine too! but like someone else said it really needs ics, since i come from a gnex(still have it) it's hard to swallow. But the big screen and lte data speed i easily forget about gingerbread!
Sent from my iPad 3G
luv u too my note..
I love mine too, however for a few days had battery life issues, but got them fixed. d
Ok so I FINALLY got my ONE today!! Happy to be one of the minority as not many people have this phone yet
After months of videos, articles, threads on xda and various articles the time is here.
These are my first impressions as I've had the phone for a good 12hours now. First time you take it out of the box is just WOW this thing is just quality...100% premium feeling and truly well crafted well done HTC. Its really light and it's quite tall (compared to my old desire hd).
When you turn it on you will be blown away/scared by how loud these speakers are, boomsound is not a joke people this is the real deal! Then listen to some music on this, it sounds awesome. There is even some bass in it which pleased me the most! Really, really loud I gurantee no need for dock or portable speakers.
The screen is mindblowing, especially when your coming from a device with 800x400 resolution like me. The difference is just incredible. Colours are vibrant and natural at the same time unlike the over saturated, way to contrast high colours on the AMOLED. Viewing angles are perfect and it's really bright, I had to turn it down because it stared burning my eyes :/ lol! Blacks are good and whites are good and not blue or yellow.
Sense 5 is just sexy as f***k <3 touchwiz has no comparison against this tbh! Everything looks sleek and very clean. No bloat and actually is better than stock...stock is just too plain imho. I don't like some things like the new way to move apps to your homescreen from the app drawer. The three dot menu but hopefully HTC fix that in an update, if not then I'm going to root this so that's cool. Blinkfeed is ok, I can see that it won't be liked by everyone. I'm already slightly bored of it! When HTC let us add sources I can see this being a success, I know I'd use it more if you liked the hundred plus widget selection of the past HTC sense versions then you may not like that a lot of the widgets are gone! I think this is a good thing I can see that HTC are trying to make you use blinkfeed as your homescreen and the app drawer as the traditional type home screen by alloowing you to make folders.
Regarding music, beats audio is classed as a gimmick and the headphones as overpriced. I agree on the second claim and used to think the same for beats audio before. But it seems as if they have actually made it good and optimised it. It makes the speakers and music played through headphones MUCH MUCH better.
The notification light has pleased me also. It bright and is seen very easily.
The phone has been lag free. A major step up from my single core desire hd super fast, can have like 20 apps open with no lag at all. Multitasking is soo good.
I've already got used to the button layout. Only messed up like twice hopefully the HTC logo thing becomes a real thing.
The phone came with like 45% battery, (5.00pm) after HEAVY HEAVY usage as I'm sure everyone does when they get a new toy it does on me at 1.30am. So 8hours of constant hammerage seems reallllyyy good so far!! Havent gone through a proper cycle of charged it fully yet so can't say anything else on the battery.
However, the phone does tend to get a bit warm every know and then. Not like ohh it's burning but just slightly warm which is expected with most of these quad core beasts.
I took a couple of random pics with the camera, looking good so far but that's on the phones screen and just random ish. Haven't tested front facing cam or video recording yet.
Last point for now (I know I'm forgetting a lot of things)... The phone is quite slippery seeing as I am the only numpty who would end up dropping his phone from ABOVE WAIST HEIGHT within a couple of hours of use. To my surprise not even a scratch, nothing to be seen on the phone. Almost had a mini heart attack but it proved that it's well built
Ohh and the power button is kinda flush so hard to find at times but I'm already getting used to it. The screen also seems to be very good at hiding fingerprints
That's all for now, time to fully charge this badboy and get some sleep myself.

Do a test on the video camera at 1080p and review it on a pc.. Every review that has actually done a video test has looked like the FPS still drops in the low 20's which has been pretty typical of every HTC phone I've seen, especially in low light.

Stopped reading after this. It was an overly enthusiastic story to begin with but this was the limit. Eight hours of "constant hammerage" with a 45% battery charge to begin with. Alrighty. And everybody just swallows this like it's the truth? Best phone ever. Best battery ever. Simply amazing. Will get the phone myself as well but these stories (20 apps open, really, how DO you know?!) are so useless, with all due respect :angel:

My jaw dropped when I saw the phone in retailers. I think my mouth broke in awe when I touched it for the first 10 seconds.

The Z and One are beautiful phones. Two of the best built and looking phones ever created in my opinion.
Is anyone coming to the One from Nexus 4? If so, why?
I went from Nexus 4 to HTC Droid DNA last Saturday (going back today) to this HTC One.
I like this much better. Sound and responsiveness are better to me.

How do you like the Sense compared to the stock N4?
I prefer stock, but the new version of Sense really isn't bad. It does not slow the device down like their previous versions did.
I just got my HTC One from AT&T,coming from a Nexus 4. I have to say this is the only phone I could have switched from. The build is superior, new sense isn't bad although I prefer stock JB. But the keyboard is alsoa pleasant surprise on the One.

My Nexus 4 is going on ebay next week. Most overrated phone. I still have my white GNex so I will still get the updates.
Had my HTC one now since became available, moved from N4, still have N4 but so far not been tempted to go back. New sense is pretty good, would like to turn blink feed off but its not intrusive to be an issue. Sound quality is much better through my head phones over the nexus and camera is better. More storage is a bonus too. Over all a much better phone even better if came with untouched android. Main reason I changed is I'm a tech junky and like HTC kit been waiting for them to bring out something of this quality.
Now a Nexus like this... Yes please!

This will most likely be my plan as well. I actually ordered the 32gb from HTC last night. After selling my N4, I'll be down about $250 which I'll just consider as an upgrade cost. If the N5 follows the same pricing structure as the 4, I should be able to break almost even when selling/buying.
Hi all, I m on N4 right now and I do like it a lot, will probably give KLP a spin then watch if some CM and co are around on the One, then I ll get rid of it.
My question is regarding the battery?
I know, I know, everyone is different, but the personal habits should more or less carry between phones for one individual, right?
So please give me your impressions regarding this?

From what I've read, the battery life is similar to the N4. One of the reviews also said the One has a really good standby (screen off) battery life, but someone who actually has it will have a better opinion.
Given sufficient funds, I would strongly advise to get the One over the N4. I really hated screen responsiveness, camera and the weird feeling of the glass back. And the speaker on the N4 can't even be compared to the ONE. And Sense has really made a big step forward. As all the others, I like a stock experience, but can completely work with Sense 5.0 in a satisfying way.

Well, N4 is also quite good if I don't use it, but as soon as screen is on, the percentages fly away quite quickly. For example I use my N4 to read a lot, which is not very ressources intensive, but really the battery is going fast!
I m not trying to start an argument, I m simply curious

I feel you, I usually have my N4 plugged in when I'm at my desk, or else the battery will drop pretty fast.

I think the speaker will be my favorite change. If the N4 is in my pocket, I can hardly hear the sound, since the little speaker hole is so easy to get covered up. I'm also willing to get Sense a go, worst case I'll just load a launcher.
