I feel you. From the Incredible, to the Rezound, to the One (M7), to the One (M9), to the HTC 10, to the U12+, all I ever knew was HTC. When everyone was down talking Sense and hating on the Ultra Pixel cameras, I was there telling them all they didn't know what they were talking about or missing. Well at least as far as Sense. Even I had issues with the Ultra Pixel approach but now isn't the time to bring up stuff like that. Now is time to say good bye to a brand that was, not just a phone, not just a light in the dark, even though it lit my way several times, but a companion, a navigator when I was lost in the middle of Indiana. Not quite as lost as I was trying to feel my way around the Samsung landscape but HTC still connected to the internet and even helped me through that. As you move on I want to share some of my experience with you. There will be things you hate with your new device, I hated the side to side paging of the app drawer, things that won't come easy, I was totally lost in Samsung's sea of setting's menus, nothing seemed to be instinctual compared to what I had known, but I do hope that you will eventually come to like your new device the way I eventually came to like my S10+. I liked it more than I liked the U12+... Well I actually liked the Incredible more than I liked the U12+. Not sure what they did to that one but I digress... The other models, the other models I could go on and on about. Happier with each one more than the last, even with the ridiculously long waits for OS updates. Did they ever update the U12+ to Pie??? But none of that matters right now. Yes, HTC was a great brand and after owning two of the phone of the year models put out by HTC, one can only ask, what happened HTC? What happened?
What a long strange trip it has been.
