So I am guessing Phil that this is the cool rumored 2nd LED notification light, the one on the back of the phone? If so, very cool ! Looks more like a tiny speaker though ...

Will there be an international unlocked version?

I like to see it compared side by side to the note 2. I'm still leaning towards that, but I like this phone overall.

Is it me or does the camera lens look not centered in the bezel?
Odd that it would be off centered like that.

This phone doesn't have the metal "dots" on the back like the One series does. Even the J Butterfly has them. Wonder why this one doesn't???

**reb422** · 10-23-2012, 04:04 AM

Also... has anyone confirmed if this phone will have a micro SD slot? Blackmannx? Phil?

To be honest, after owning an HTC Eris, and an HTC Thunderbolt, it's pretty hard to get excited about a new HTC phone. Even though I did enjoy my HTC Incredible, the screen had some pretty ugly burn in by the end of my contract.

**jamdmyers** · 10-23-2012, 06:21 AM

I went back and looked at the front pic, it's hard to tell but perhaps HTC found putting the noise cancelling pickup on the back to be more efficient.
After all we hold the phone to our ear, where does all the ambient noise reside (on the backside of the phone) ??

Oh, and if it weren't for Tesla, Edison would have accomplished nothing.

im up in the air between this and the note 2

unfortuantly i really dont like the design of this version and very much prefer the japanese colours like the black with red back and sides.

but i will say i read some articles concerning the newest sharp lcd3 screen and they state it has a 2.5 nearly 3 times less power draw than lcd2 so couple with the quan quad core cpu i can see it doing alright on the 2500 battery so we will just have to wait and see

cant wait personally as i took one look and thats what iv been looking for

also the japanese version of sense which is the newest revision is very light compared to sense on one-x it very close to stock so a lot of people are going to like that

What do you mean metal dots? I have a One X and it's a matte polycarbonate exterior shell. No metal dots.

Maybe you're getting this confused with the LG Optimus G?

We will buy this phone. 5months later the s4 will be out.

I think he's referring to the POGO pins.

Previous HTC Droid Incredible owner on Verizon.
Update from Eclair to Froyo was quick. Received Froyo update within a month of two after it was released. However, Gingerbread update took six months or longer.
Hope this helped.

Htc def has stepped their game up. The one line has gave them life. To me I wish this was branded as a one series for Verizon. But I've loved my thunderbolt and incredible . So this will be a great refresh of the droid inc. Considering the 4g dinc was a let down in my book

**weblos** · 10-23-2012, 03:26 PM

The white j butterfly is the sickest phone I've ever seen. I hope Verizon doesn't mess with the design. That and a good battery and I'm gonna be the first one to the store the day it comes out.

Ahh yes you're probably right.

**reb422** · 10-24-2012, 01:28 AM

That was exactly what I was referring to. Why do you suppose the DLX does not have them? Even the J-Butterfly has them.

I think we all have to remember this isn't a final build of this phone

**Kevin O'Quinn** · 10-24-2012, 02:53 PM

Honestly how many accessories have taken advantage of them on the devices that do have them?

**weblos** · 10-24-2012, 06:30 PM

Reading the map from earlier today on the website, no mention of a white or red version? I will be very annoyed if that's the case

**DarkScythe** · 10-24-2012, 11:56 PM

I am honestly quite sad that the J Butterfly won't make it outside of Japan.

I'm looking for something to upgrade to from my original Droid Incredible (my first smartphone, haha) and absolutely love the curves on the J Butterfly, but I don't really like the look of the DLX.
Argh.
