So after a day or so playing with the phone, I found myself switching the launcher to Nova. Call me crazy but the only thing you lose is Blinkfeed (no thanks), and the HTC themes. I can always backup my setup of Nova and switch between them at will. But for now I will just take the speed of the 10, and the pure customization of Nova. I do have one gripe about HTC and that is they locked down the system tuner. I would like to be able to switch around the quick settings shade, as I want to replace extreme power saver with the regular power saver. I like the idea of throttling the device, if I know it is going to just stay dormant on my desk for hours on end, while at work. Guess another win for Nova, since I can set a quick setting to my desktop for power saving mode.
Also coming from the MXPE, this screen is really small. But it is the perfect trade off for a more comfortable one handed experience.
