HTC Rezound First Impressions/Reviews

[alf_dart]

I'm in your court, tony bag o donuts; Wanted the Rezound 'cus I loved my 2 years with the Incredible so much, but ate the Nexus/ICS candy, and mostly lovin' it. Universal keyboard delay in ICS however, surely they'll fix it. Regarding signal issues, I obsessed over that point pre-purchase. I live in a fringe *3G* area, which gave my Incredible troubles as well. By and large, "hotspots" are the same, and in less rural areas, 4G is all it's advertised to be. No issues w/ irratic 3G/4G toggle. All said, if you don't mind the lighter weight Samsung design, eat the candy.

And btw, the fantastically responsive camera shutter speed of the Nexus cannot be understated. Don't know if that's hardware or software but it's grreEEAT!

Why are Nexus owners reviewing the Nexus in a sticky thread specifically for Rezound reviews in the HTC Rezound forum? Anyway...

My impressions:
-Screen is amazing. Beautiful and vibrant.
-Photos from the camera are awesome. Close ups rival my point-and-shoot Canon with a superior lens.
-Stock camera software, effects, scenes and options make the want for 3rd party apps nonexistent.
-Haven't had a dropped call or data connection yet. Works when I need it. Always.
-Phone is snappy when navigating throughout, even with a Live Wallpaper.

I miss a couple things from ICS, but none worth what I gained.

Point taken. If it gives you satisfaction, I'm just sore that Samsung doesn't build their phones like HTC (particularly the exceptional sound quality). The Rezound is surely a slightly larger, much better version of the Incredible. It's a really great phone. Make way for a little off topic contrast/dissension though.

A subconscious need to justify their purchases most likely, a lot like a lot of the iPhone people who come to Android and BB forums and sites.

After 3 months, my positive impressions are...

The Screen - Great for us that wish we had 'young' eyes
The Battery Life - Use it mostly for phone calls/email. My location only has 3G but always 4/5 bars
The Camera - Mostly shoot landscapes and difficult light. Perfect for quick shots with xlnt results
The Phone - Just right: non-slip Otterbox case with a little bulk for worn out hands to hold. Always fast and ready when you hit the pwr button.
Rezound sets the bar.

Update: the battery just passed the 6 day mark. Of course I didn't rely heavily on the net or movies...just emails and phone calls plus a camera shot or 2 and, yes, stand-by. Stock battery with the 10+ stock apps listed under 'running services' ; sync serv, google serv, mobile IM, Verzion Location Agent, blah blah bloat, ect.. You can squeeze some life out of a stock battery.
