Who’s preordering the 12+?!?!

[NEXUS_HTC_PS]

Amazon switch back to June 21. Hopefully, this estimate.

Damn, I hope we don't have to wait about a whole month...

 

[GibMcFragger]

I have one on pre-order, and my order email says June. The HTC website now says July for current orders.

I hate not having an exact release date, lol.

 

[MizWylie]

I have one in abandoned cart on HTC. I'm buying a house right now, so fun time doesn't exist for me right now.

Yeah Amazon saying date as June 21 sucks, that's a long wait. Hopefully that's just rough estimate, probably it's somewhere in the middle between June 7 and 21.

Remind me of LG V20 when they first announced. 1 1/2 month wait.

Better than V20 or LG products because LG gives zero ****s about it's messaging and let the carriers announce prizing, release date when ever they want. (In the US)

I would like to try HTC phone, but we even have no official service provider, plus mine Mate 9 can't be upgraded by any phone of 2018, the performance compared with astonishing battery life, is something amazing, other than that, i would like to try HTC.

Also some of you were talking about Samsung, i had the s7 edge with stock, rooted and highly tweaked rom... This phone was plain average, performance were pathetic

My M8 is dying on me, I have to twist the wire in a specific way and try million times before it charges! Not sure I can wait the whole of june for U12 to reach home
The price you pay for hanging on to your oldie for too long :-\

What scathing article by David Ruddock from Android police... He is generally very critical but this one he doesn't seem to hold anything back.. Ouch.

Yeah I read that too... I think he has some valid points but, I'll be sticking with HTC till they go under. Over the past 5 years, HTC has been overly criticised on all kinds of things and I've still thoroughly enjoyed the devices they make.

It's a mixed bag. I like what this site has to say. Even though it's not as thorough a review as I'd like, it tells me what I need to know. I already have two HTC 3.5mm dongles, I don't need anymore.

Reads very personal and subjective! Hard to trust or take seriously, and with companies paying for reviews, I'd rather try for my self

Wow, that's rough! I disagree with a lot of it though. I also think the "phone reviews" tag should be removed to just state that's it's an editorial only. I honestly don't know what some bloggers want. The same guy praises the Pixel, but talks about HTC's lack of innovation. In what way is the Pixel innovative? (Not saying the Pixel is a bad phone, but it's not very innovative either. And oh how I hate the "I" word. It's so overused.)

I read that as well. It's a pretty good read, and most of it lines up with how I feel the phone will work. I'm a tiny bit concerned about the buttons. I'm not too worried about the headphone thing b/c I have 2 pair of HTC earbuds, and they both sound really good. Add in active noice cancellation and I'm intrigued. I also wish that it came with the 3.5 dongle for my car, but oh well.

So exciting! Can't wait to see homescreen setups and more!

Same here but still gonna wait until this website does there review & a few others. Was thinking maybe I should choose a different phone as it's not sounding to good.

I've seen a couple reviews from folks I've never heard of before on YouTube, but I'll wait until I have mine before I make up my mind.

 

[msm0511]

So after watching that video I'm wondering a few things. Most people think the buttons aren't configurable as far as pressure goes. They are. It uses the same pressure you set for Edge Sense, so they're going to be harder to "press" if you have Edge Sense to the highest pressure setting. Also, they complained about screenshots. In the Nav bar the extra buttons are actually 2 configurable pages that you can swipe between. Screen shot is one of the options in that configurable nav bar. It almost seems that many reviewers are not realizing options that are available or are configurable that will address some of their complaints.
