    Beats over Bluetooth?

    The answer is no - beats will not work with a bluetooth headphone. Seriously, beats is so horrible of an implement that Dr. Dre has permanently tarnished his image in the most negative way.

    Scratched my screen!!!!!

    Never had an issue with scratches either - always keep in pocket and never used a plastic cover. Biggest thing is to ensure nothing else is in your pocket, particularly not any keys.

    Is there an everyday point to 4G? My battery life is HUGE on 3G

    Re: Is there an everyday point to 4G? My battery life is HUGE on 4g is a huge difference in speed, incomparable in web page loads to 3g. I will never go back. It's the whole point of the phone. If you want good battery life, then consider going to 2g only. In fact, swap out for a regular...

    Who thinks the Rezound will get ICS Friday?

    I was a Pre+ user and the upgrades goes over so many generations of improvement that it's incomparable. Like using an old C64 to a modern Pentium rig. It's that much of a difference. It's really replaced my need to access a desktop/laptop significantly since the Rezound works so well...

    Who's staying stock till official Ice Cream Sandwich OTA?

    You don't seem to have an understanding on how software development works. Just because no one mentions something about a problem on a forum doesn't mean it doesn't exist, especially when it becomes statistically insignificant with a sample pool too small for using a given product to begin...

    Wait or go for it?

    I came from the Droid Incredible and the difference between that and the Rezound is day and night. The enlarged screen size alone is enough to make me want to switch, nevermind all the other enhancements. I'd say we are looking at least until Q3 2012 for a worthwhile improvement to the...

    Who's staying stock till official Ice Cream Sandwich OTA?

    Stock all the way. Used to be a rooter and found it not worth the trouble for a phone I depend on dearly. I enjoy stability and so embrace OTA updates only.

    how is gps?

    Works very well for me, slightly quicker locks than my old Incredible and less loss of signal where I live (mountains block a lot of the satellites).

    Rezound vs. Razr Maxx?

    You seem to be splitting hairs over battery life on stock 4G smartphones. There is no signficant difference in this regard when running identical application scenarios. 4G is simply a battery drainer on any smartphone. As is 3G, when compared to 2G. You simply have a large screen that is...

    Is the OTA worth losing temp root?

    The update solved the audio noise issues for me. That's a huge deal, as it instantly repositions the phone from the worst audio device ever made to where it's supposed to be , as one of the best.

    Rezound vs. Razr Maxx?

    Battery life issue is overblown on the Rezound. Just get the extended battery and use it for times when you really need it, then switch back to the regular battery if the bulk matters that much to you. It's nice that we have a factory OEM solution for a true extended battery instead of relying...

    Ice Cream Sandwich Speculation.

    From a marketing standpoint, by end of Q1 should be expected as the phone will still be marketed heavily through that period. By summer the phone will be at its EOL on the sales floor so no real reason to release anything by that time.

    Bluetooth Mouse/Keyboard

    Thanks for the report. Disappointing to see HTC's Sense fail again. I did some searches online and find conflicting info on whether the phone really does support HID, which is the key. Looks like it may not after all. All is not lost of course, as a ROM with the standard android bluetooth...

    Anyone else experiencing almost constant 4g drops since 1/9/12?

    Re: Anyone else experiencing almost constant 4g drops since 1/9/1 Have not noticed any higher frequency, but the unit does tend to drop 4g when signal gets weak and into 1x mode, even after moving into a full force 4g signal area. This is remedied by flipping into airplane mode and out. Seems...

    Missing my Incredible's Optical Joystick

    Had an incredible, never used it. Simply felt inaccurate and hurt my finger after a while.
