I must admit, I am dying for Android L and will probably change CIDs, MIDs, etc. in order to get it as soon as it comes out! haha
I must agree with you. The fact that it's so tall makes its dimensions easier to slip out from your hands since it's very thin and the material is slippery. They should start making it just a tad wider, in my opinion.
I rest my case! AND, as soon as it lands and you figure out all of its secrets, about a week, you'll be back in bated breath for the next update! The problem is that Android fans don't Give themselves time to appreciate the platform, they are in constant critique mode! And, as long as you're doing that you can't actually enjoy how far we've come or appreciate what's right in front of you! I don't like to stereotype platform loyalists, but ios fans are seemingly more mature with respect to their expectations of what a phone can do! They have matured with their devices! Android fans like to keep being reborn..lol! They make it to puberty, then go right back to the womb! If every new version of Android is not exciting, then they're bored, restless, and ready to try a new phone, or platform! Grow up a little Fandroids! Every new version is not going to be groundbreaking whether it's the hardware or the software! Smartphones have hit that plateau and have matured! A faster processor won't make my fingers move any faster! A bigger screen won't make my eyesight any better, and a better camera won't make me a better photographer! Enjoy the sweet spot that we are in right now!
I mean Apple sells 10 million phones in the first week of the release of what I consider to be a follower phone...And, get this, they've been looking at the same app drawer homescreens since its inception back in 08 or 09! They have no worries! There is something positive to be said for maturity! And,I walk in to an Apple store to the repair section and these people absolutely deify Apple! Now, flip that to the HTC M8! In nearly every facet of phone excitement, the M8 outdoes the latest ios devices, but because we have so many choices we can't really get behind and be loyal to a truly awesome device like the M8 and HTC! We want water proof, we want 20 MP, we want the smaller bezels, we want this, we want that! But, the truth is, no one person can get everything they want from a smartphone because there are just too many options to consider, so why not grow with a promising company like HTC! Every time we test the waters we take away from HTC! I'm not saying that HTC should be the only platform, but we clearly should not be worrying about whether HTC will be making our phones a couple of years from now..RIGHT? They are the "little engine that could!"
