BMX goes beyond even a power user. If you have seen his data usage stats, you would know what I mean. Wait for real world tests, and then decide.

I want this phone for sure, but I remember what a 'cluster' the Galaxy Nexus launch was on Verizon, so I won't get my hopes up on this quite yet. I'd love to have it in my mits by Thanksgiving break...but I don't think that will happen.

Is the unlock button on top? I know that seems like a petty gripe, but on such a long phone its gonna be a pain reaching for it each time I want to unlock.

According to our source, yeah. It's up top and centered.

Isn't it pretty common for HTC to put the power button on top?

Eek. Not really prime placement for a phone that size.

Hopefully the developing community can utilize the volume keys to wake the device in their ROMs, I remember using that option on my TBolt.

How do people get these devices? like this and the LG Nexus before its released? Do they work with/for them? or just some lucky guy that knows someone that knows someone

It's better that they not answer these questions.

I remember coaxing a Verizon sales rep into selling me docks for the original DROID before the DROID's release date by showing them that I was carrying around a DROID.

Someone finds them in a bar then sells them for $5,000.

So THAT explains why Gawker hates Android. AMIWRONG?

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?

Almost certainly

Guess ill go to the bar and lurk around.

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]

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.

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) ??
