The new HTC ONE (M7)

After having fears on the camera I will say isn't too bad to be honest.

Certainly is passable.
 
I was a little ticked at first when AT&T branded the One with their logo after seeing Sprint and T-Mobile never including their's. But after I saw the Verizon version, I dont feel as bad. Verizon simply doesnt know what humble means. At least AT&T kept their logo matching into the silver.

Verizon's carrier logo looks hideous. They went all in with name and 4G attached. CDMA versions always have the WORST resell value. Expect the Verizon's One to to be sold for Craigslist by next year for under $200 while the GSM-versions can fetch nearly double. The logo made it look far worse for resell.

God I hope your right. Would love to snag one of these second hand for a great deal without renewing my Verizon contract

Hopefully what will happen is that it rubs off after a while, just like my beats audio logo.

Was so happy when that started to disappear, and I no longer had to appear to associate with people who paid far too much for average headphones just to look trendy

Mine is in a protective case, so it really doesn't matter. I will say though, I do prefer my phones unsullied by carrier branding and apps I'll NEVER use.
 
Really wasn't thrilled with the ios coming out, so i broke down and got an htc one from Verizon this week. I am amazed that i actually like it, alot! The phone has that premium iphone like feel. The camera i would say is meh. But i am not too picky when it comes to cell phone cameras. I used htc manager to transfer practically everything over to my new phone. My music was transferred by double twist. And i am testing both sine and swiftkey for keyboards. Loving the bigger screen. And unlike other ppl. I actually llike sense including blinkfeed. I hate touchwiz so i went with htc instead of samsung. I found all my apps except running with friends which seems to be an ios exclusive. Overall this has been a pleasant surprise for me. I may regret changing one day. But for now i am very satisfied with everything. I do miss some of the push services, a volume mute switch, and notification badges. But i am learning to adjust back to android (I have used android before) Overall i have to say android has come a long way. They still have catching up to do. But they are light years from where they were. I will keep playing with it, and if anyone has any quuestions i will try and answer them.

Edit:
Sorry for the grammar errors. I am still getting used to typing on this new keyboard.

Thanks for your post.

The only thing holding the HTC One back that I own is me. Reading all the things folks are doing with it makes me feel a bit overwhelmed in comparison to tell the truth. It would be nice to take full advantage of something bought but this smartphone is far from a mess and by no means did HTC make a huge mistake with that feedback which was posted on another thread which I'm glad has been closed to tell the truth. To cite those things over the UI, amount of space, front high quality speakers, the camera good or bad just to name a few which I give much more a high priority towards instead is mind boggling.

The One works for me. I hope the trend towards high quality smartphones continues.

Definitely. But I still think even the S III takes better daylight photos.

I won't disagree there! :) I think my Mega also has the edge over the One too (similar camera to the Note 2/S3 AFAIK).

The leak was by Llabtoofer. What it surely suggests is that the update must be nearly ready to be given to carriers for approval and for them to put their crap / bloat in. So the September date hopefully holds true for you all :)

If it all goes to plan it means the one gets 4.3 update before the S4

Just an update. After playing with it i love it even more. I have apex and other launchers on it. Been trying different keyboards. Have gosms with an ios 7 theme for messages. All and all i am pretty happy. Just wish running with friends was on android but i will live. :D

I knew I wouldn't keep things stock for long.

Unlocked and installed a custom recovery and trying the GPE ROM for now.

Will give the Sense 5/4.3 based ROM a try soon.

Just under a week stock, didn't last too long! :D
