    The Phone wars are over...Samsung just won

    How fast does Samsung update the OS (if ever)? One advantage, to me, would be to easily keep up w/ latest Android updates buy getting the Google version. I'm trying a Galaxy S4 now, and I've already disabled all the extra crap like air view, air gesture, etc. Since I'm new to Android, I...

    Thinking of Getting HTC One but have reservations - advice?

    Don't you need to be on the home screen to hit these? I definitely need to learn more short cuts. However, as far as I know, there is only one way to actually turn the HTC One on, and that is the power button on the top. My primary use of the 'home' button on the iPhone was to turn the device...

    Thinking of Getting HTC One but have reservations - advice?

    I recently picked up an HTC One, moving from ATT to TMobile, and have had iPhones from the beginning, most recently having an iPhone 4S. I have to say, I really, really miss the home button. I miss it so much that I went to play with a Galaxy S4 today at Best Buy, and am considering moving to...

    Why I love the One as an iPhone convert..

    Ha, what I've been trying. Still awkward at times. Maybe just learning time. I like a lot of the UI. I still think, by and large, that a lot of the Android apps aren't as polished as the iPhone ones, but they've come a long way. Android the OS itself has also gotten a lot better. I love...

    Why I love the One as an iPhone convert..

    So far I love a lot about the HTC One, coming from the iPhone. Its only been a day so far, but the deal breaker for me probably will be the lack of physical home button. The HTC One is pretty large, so to reach to the top to hit the power button, then almost 5 inches down and across to hit...

    S4 Drama Shot (and other S4 features) on HTC One?

    Can't do the drama shot item as well, or I remove people from an image. There is some photo manipulation going on beyond what Zoe can do I believe. (Only played w/ Zoe for a day though).

    Home button Turn On?

    So there isn't any way without hacking the system? Such an incredibly stupid decision not to have a home button turn on the home screen. Maybe because I'm coming from an iPhone, but having the power button be the only on button is horrible for a device this size. If I pick up the HTC One...

    S4 Drama Shot (and other S4 features) on HTC One?

    As an almost new owner of an HTC One (its being delivered tomorrow), I'm curious about how exclusive some of the features on the S4 are vs the HTC One and other phones. I know the exact S4 apps are actually exclusive, but how often are similar apps available as free or paid ware? Drama shot...
