Android Central's HTC One review

[coggster]

Ah I want this to be my next phone - currently on the iphone 5. But there is just pre-order everywhere I look. Well everywhere except eBay but I would rather buy it from a "store" than eBay. I was tempted by the the Nexus 4 but I think the overall experience from the One is what I am looking for. Of course I have played with neither of them and this is just from all the reviews I have read and watched. Then again I was also tempted by the BB Z10 but think Android is more me at the moment.

What on earth are you talking about?

I think he's talking about whether or not LTE will be compatible in North America. But I could be wrong.

Is it true that it isn't LTE compatible in North America?

If it isn't, thats a total dealbreaker.

CNET's review states that it's only LTE compatible in europe.

The review units that got sent out were all international models. The US versions will be US LTE compatible.

Thanks for clearing that up. It didn't sound right when I watched their unboxing video.

haha, here people can talk freely, the HTC one looks nice.

I wouldn?t buy a phone that is possibly impossible to open without damaging it. What happens if something breaks out of warranty? Or you cracked your display and need to replace it? It seems you can?t even replace the battery. Far too expensive for a disposable product, no matter how nice all the features appear to be.

You send it to htc. It is not a disposable product. If you want a disposable product, buy a Samsung.

So you're going to keep this HTC One until you die? I doubt it. That makes it disposable. All of your comments are so fetching asinine. Can you please stop with this ridiculous hatred for Samsung? You're starting to sound like a dang fool! Did a Samsung phone steal the affection of your significant other? Did it screw your favorite sports team out of a championship? Did it kill one of your family members? Because other than those things, I see no reason for you to be so illogical.

I've chosen a Samsung over an HTC for my past 3 devices. It's a choice, but I wish the battery were better and I hate removable storage.

I don't plan to keep it until I die. I intend to use it for as long as I've had any of my other Samsung phones. I just anticipate it to hold up a little better during that time.

Figured I'd resurrect this baby after a couple of weeks...

but I just finished molesting one at a Sprint store and I have to be honest, swiping up and down in the app drawer is SOOOOO much better than side to side. I know it's a tiny thing, but I've heard people complain about it (Phil!) and it just seems to me that if you are holding a phone in one hand, swiping up/down with your thumb is so much more natural than going side to side with it.

Yes it does with the "Productivity" setup of the lock screen - you have the option of selecting a few. I dont have an exchange account with forced security policy but put in security and I still see my events on the lock screen.

Alex,

Is there any way to have "server search" ability on MSN / hotmail and Google hosted company mail. I could not do this on the HTC One mail app. Am I missing something? I know this is possible on the Nexus 4. It also seems HTC is not using the stock mail app. Will really appreciate a reply. I would to sync email for about 30 days or so but would like the ability to search something which was on the server from 6 months ago or longer.

Thanks

Few questions for someone who has the device

1) does it show your calendar events on the lock screen (even the next event is fine)?

2) same as above but if you have exchange account with forced security policies, do they show anything on the lock screen?

Productivity lock screen is one of the reasons I got this phone, and love sense! Sad I know.

So the camera is great in low light. But as far as in the day, is it comparable to the One X, the S3, or the Xperia series phones of this year?

The camera is awesome in low light. I had the iPhone 5 before I upgraded to this.

You can set a timer before the lock kicks in. Check the settings.
