I'm curious. Why'd you "jump ship" to One? Reason I'm asking is my wife's second digitizer (replaced ~1 month ago) is going out and upgrade is due 1 APR. If the One is delayed TOO much, we may have to get a different phone, and the S3 is a candidate. Thx

I want to sell my sg3 keeping my hox, still on fire... I m in Argentina but cant find buyers.. Thats bad:banghead:

Congratulations

I have just got a HTC one to replace my S3.
The ui is far more basic (or close to stock if you prefer) but the speed is awesome and I think I prefer the more natural screen colours. The definition is amazing.
Overall I am more than pleased. Only 2 days in but I have to say that this is my best ever phone. Only thing slightly lacking is it couldn't wait for the 64gb version and I have a LOT of music but I think I will cope with the 32gb version)
The very best feature in NO LAG! I have been waiting for that so long! Even faster than the Nexus 4. In fact this is the phone the nexus 4 should have been.
There have been iPhone muggers before but this Is the iPhone killer!
Android ftw!

I did the same wanting clove send me.

I'm dumping my Sprint Galaxy S 3 as soon as I can get my hands on this phone. Every review I've seen so far says it's the best phone they've ever rated. Period. Looking forward to a quad core processor.
The GS 3 is OK. The GS 4 looks like more of the same with a quad core. Touch Wiz sucks. Running other launchers has really screwed up my voicemail. Rooting is a bit out of my league.
Sprint still doesn't have 4G in NE Ohio. Sprint 3G is SLOW. Any suggestions for the best network speed from a major U.S. carrier ?

NE Ohio here as well, Youngstown area.
I personally love my gs3, just like new technology and stepdaughters windows phone needs replaced, so she is getting the HTC Amaze and wife will rock the S3.
As far as provider, I like T-Mobile in big cities, but the Bonies it gets rough. I get 20mb down and 3 up on their HSPA +.
Verizon is the best for overall. But they are more expensive than anyone else, but great coverage and great speeds.
If not those two, then would make at&suck next in line.
Sprint is God awful round here.
Sent from a galaxy far away!

If rooted I'm sure there will be ways to force roam on Verizon.
@OP If the quality of the camera is the only thing your concerned with, I really wouldn't worry. HTC nailed with the evo lte camera and by all accounts the ONEs camera is better again

as mentioned sold the SGS3, ordered the Black, changed my mind ordered two Silver Ones......hopefully one of them will be a keeper.
Current interim solution - HTC Hero.......

I'm due a free upgrade, so am keeping my 16GB S3, purchasing a 64gb SDcard and using the S3 purely as an mp3 player. The Wolfson dac is more than excellent.
Will then keep the storage on the One free of music and ensure the 32GB version is more than sufficient for apps and videos/photo.

That's nothing, I'm using my girlfriends old lumia 610 and of course it's a pink one.. ~4 weeks to get ONE :crying:

Having spent time with both, the S3 has more features but I mean when really uses them? The One is a more clean and simple phone with a premium feel. For me personally its hit the sweet spot

another sammy user here, moving from galaxy note to htc one! hell yeah.. i tried the device during a preview here and was absolutely blown away!! gonna be amazing!

Same. Waiting for black 64gb to replace my s3
Now if we all fall in love with HTC and sense and don't go back to Samsung in the near future, I can say that this is their fault for not developing a new design from sg3
Got so disappointed when I saw the unboxing and don't intend to buy a Samsung again.
Since I expect their sales to decrease a lot compared to sg3, they might come with a awesome phone next year. But by then it might be too late cuz everybody who tests sense after been using touchwiz, won't turn back again.

"Black to come a bit later..."

Hey guys... I'm more of a lurker than a poster, but I am still excited to get my hands on an HTC One! Take it for what it's worth but I tweeted to Jason Mackenzie about when AT&T would be getting the black version, and this is what he said:
"@holz75 Won't have date for a couple weeks. Focus of launch will be silver. black to come a bit later."

I believe at&t should be blamed here not HTC. At&t done the same thing with the note2. They launched the gray and 2 weeks later the start to sell the white ones.

Lucky. I bet the black one doesn't see the US for at least a month. I couldn't resist ordering one so I go the Unlocked Edition. I will probably buy the Black one later and resell it but I REALLY wanted this phone

I feel they have difficulties manufacturing the black ones. Even the iPhone 5 black one had lots of easy scuffing problems. May be they are seeing that the black ones scuff easily and trying to fix it?

Well, according to the press release in this article, will we NEVER see a black 64gb model?
HTC launches 'HTC One Live Experience Tour' in the U.S. | Android Central
"AT&T: Available on April 19th in silver and black with 32GB of memory for $199.99, and in silver with 64 GB of memory for $299.99 with a two-year commitment."

I would think if it's paint then it would be more evident WHEN it scratches, whereas the grey would be more subtle. Either way, I can't wait and will be fine with the grey. It looks really slick.

Pretty sure the black version is fairly scratch resistant given this video:

Worth buying today?

I just went out to Currys to try and pick one up instore however it was out of stock. Also out of stock on the online website.
However, its still available on their eBay outlet store for the same price. (£99)
Is this still worth picking up then? Are the going to be discontinuing this model? Are the eBay ones their surplus stock their trying to get rid off?
Do you think the price will drop any further?
Thanks!

Very much doubt the price will drop any further. The £99 price tag is to get rid of surplus stock. I got mine at this price as well.

Thanks for that!
So you reckon its still with a pop? Not much else better I can get for £99 can I?

Performance Per Buck (PPB also know and Bang for Buck BFB) is that good that its not just worth getting its worth ripping it out their hands. I have had one which was faulty but the second one is perfect! just make sure you get the Magnetic cover as well!!!!
For a tablet that can keep up with the modern phones its smashing mate.

Yes I managed to play with one in store and it handled everything I threw at it with ease. I was just a bit concerned that it isn't really as popular as other tablets despite the low price.
I was deciding between this and the Nexus 7 2013, but I'd probably not go for the latter as the chip is ancient in tech world now and Nexus 8 is announced this week...?
Thanks all the same for the help, was just really what I was looking for, a confirmation I am doing the right thing. [emoji3]
I guess I'll place my order in the morning.
Cheers!

This tablet crushes the Nexus 7 2012 and 2013 in benches. A tablet that is not popular is not always a bad sign.
But there is also the down side of the company that has its branding on the Nvidia Tegra Note 7 (tegratab) in our case in the UK its Advent as they have bad rep in the computer side of things how ever with the TegraNote 7 the only thing Advent did was Brand the Device the sold making was down to Nvidia!! hence why Nvidia supplies the OTA's and the EVGA GiGabyte etc are all the same. The only major difference is the partition called LBH which holds the bootanimiation with the company whitelable.

I got mine from here, mint, saved £20 for a sd card and case

Quick question, does this come with a screen protector already pre-installed?
And any cade recommendations?

Cracking tablet. I have a nexus 2012 and I have to be honest the performance of the tegra note is just a joy. Love the official case as well. Worth every penny. In fact I am giving my niece my nexus!

Thanks for all the feedback! Typing on this beast now, I've set it all up and it has really impressed me. Unfortunately the official case is not available anywhere at all!

I picked one up a couple of weeks ago and haven't regretted it one bit. For £99 delivered to your door it provides one heck of a bang for the cost. I'm still looking for a decent case in the UK for it, though.

I got the official case through pc world online. Got it delivered to my local store. Does the trick extremely well!

I used a Nexus 7 screen protector off ebay 99p for 2, had to cut it down slightly and overlaps the camera, but hardly use that

I paid £3.19 for a pack of 6 off Amazon. [emoji51]
Not here till Thursday at the earliest so in the mean time I have to put up with the scratch ridden plastic cover it came with. (Fruit Ninja with Stylus caused it) ?

has anyone tried Skinomi® TechSkin - EVGA Tegra Note 7" Screen Protector Ultra Clear Shield

Tempted to get one of these..
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/271447868326

Best case for Tegra Note is Fintie case for HP Slate 7 Extreme. It is 100% compatible. Also the magnets work like a charm.

Which colour?

So look like pre-orders in the UK are going ahead on Friday. I went to the Samsung experience store in London today to take a look and choose a colour. However they didn't have the two colours I am trying to decide between: Gold or Green.
Has anyone had hands on with either of these? I cant quite decide if I like the green, I do like a phone a little different, so it probably will be my choice.
Is it possible to do a poll on here of the colours?

I wonder if all colors will be available right away at launch.
Samsung is known for releasing different colors of phones over time.

I think I'm going for Platinum Gold, depending on how noticeable fingerprints look. It looks very professional and sleek. I know the Pearl White one conceals fingerprints the most but I'm bored of white already.
The Emerald Green also looks extremely sexy. I really want to see them all before I choose one.

I will be going for the gold variant if it is available at AT&T

Green of course.

I pre-ordered black Edge

green if it will ever land in bahrain or saudi lol.

Pre orderd the 128 GB Black edition.
Looking forward to it.

I pre-ordered a black one, but now having seconds thoughts about a gold one. I am afraid to change my order, as I am unsure whether Samsung will have enough phones to send out when it becomes available.

Im going to get the green one with 128gb. It is for me by far the best looking edge version

Looks like T-Mobile will only be getting the Black and White models in to start then Gold later on.
If you read the comments on their youtube video they say that

I will be holding out for the gold. Black and white are too normal need a nice color for a phone like this.

If thats the case thats not too bad. I can wait a couple of more weeks for the Gold.

Emerald Green

I initially went with white... Only becasue I always have black phones and wanted a change.. then I saw pics of the green one... Oh Yeah.... that looks pretty sleek to me.. So I went ahead and swapped my order..
128gb Emerald Green....

saw the black one in a store the other day and placed a preorder straight away! It's not just black it has a blue/green pearlescent sheen that looks stunning. the white has a similar effect but nowhere near as nice and I expect the green one will be similar.
The black one is definitely the best looking imo. once you see this phone in the flesh you realise that the s6 edge is a real game changer. probably the best looking phone ever made and it's as slim as phones are ever going to need to get. wish I could go into cryogenic stasis and wake up on the 10th of april!

just as i predicted, pretty pathetic of samsung as usual. over market, never deliver. my guess is many carriers wont see nothing at all except W/B colors. lots of disappointment when people cant buy the color they want.

What color?

I can only seem to find the Titan Gray color in photos and videos. Even if the silver is shown, it isn't shown in detail, so I can't get a good look at it.
So now I'm curious:
What color seems to be the most desired from XDA users? (What color will you be getting?)
I used to always get black phones, but if there's an unusual color, like red, purple, or the Note7's Coral Blue which I have), then I'll get that. I never get gold. I don't know why, but I don't like gold.

Sent from my Samsung Galaxy S7 using Tapatalk

I ordered a grey one. I had a white phone the last few years so I wanted something else. Too bad they didn't have gold though. I was really thinking to go with that color if they offered it.

Silver

Probably silver, really like my aluminum looking Nexus6 P!

Going titan, closes thing to black

Wow this thread is so racist, don't you know the phone can identify as whatever color it feels it is? After all, it's ((((current year))))

I'm going with whatever color my carrier has available for pre-order Monday.

Most of us buying from a carrier probably won't have a color choice.
I guess I'll be getting what t-mobile is carrying...

Yeah,that's how it was w/T-Mobile's HTC 10 (& previous iterations as well,I believe).
As for LG,we should know something as soon as pre-orders start.
FWIW,the G5 has two color choices,but,at least in my area,on launch,only one color was available/in-stock.
This is the only reason I may pre-order,& AFAICT,there's no way to find out what choices the stores are going to have on-hand on 10/28.

Whatever T-Mobile will have Monday to pre-order.

silver all day baby. the contrast it has with the dark screen looks like sex

Silver. From what I can tell in videos it's actually more metallic looking than the get g5. The titan colored v20 also looks darker than the titan g5. I'm really looking forward to seeing them in person hopefully tomorrow.

just ordered mine. 12 am EST. all they currently had available for pre-order was the titan. which is the color i wanted anyways

Probably silver.
However, I'd like to wait until pre rooted tot or dz ROM released.
I will trade V10 in.

I am getting my Titan(black) V20 today.

I was hoping that after seeing what color others here were getting, then maybe I'd be able to make a decision, lol.
For those of you who got the silver version, is the color actually silver, or is it really just white but CALLED silver
Does the front silver parts match the color of the back?
And is the silver like a brushed aluminum?
I LOVE the color combination of blue and silver, so I was thinking of getting silver and putting on a blue case. The case will obviously cover the back, so I'm hoping the the front will still be silver and not an white color.

I have had the Titan colored one since October 29th..... they didn't have Silver in stock when I went to look at it. Just saw the silver yesterday and it definitely looks nice. Now I am having buyer's remorse for not picking/waiting for it..... should I take a hit ($) and trade back in on the silver? Its past 14 days, so I am not sure what Verizon will do if I do that? Are there any polls showing which is selling better: Tittan vs Silver?

I have the rose gold/pink one.
