I just got this phone, and I have to say it's really damn good. Super fast. Great call quality. Switches between bluetooth devices quickly and seamlessly. Twenty Megapixel camera. I used it today from the van, took pictures of some far away cows in burst mode... 20 frames at a time. I can tell you what color paint the cows have on their toenails. All this for the low price of zero dollars (work pays for it) Anybody else got a new phone? | ||

No new one Yet, the Wife just busted the screen in hers yesterday so I'm in the market for something to replace hers. Will have to take a look at the HTC. | ||

I got my latest phone the day before Thanksgiving, a Lumia 950XL. This thing is fantastic, lightning fast, Windows 10, Continuum, USB-C, best camera you can get on a phone, dual SIM card support, MicroSD and removable back/battery. Continnum is great, I can use my phone as a computer on my TV or Xbox without any other hardware, but if I plug in a mouse and keyboard it is more like using a PC, and I can still use the phone as a phone while doing it. I've all but confirmed this will be my next phone this summer: | ||

OK.... day 2... DROPPED it with no case straight onto concrete from about 5 feet in the air. Tumbled, made contact with 3 out of 4 corners, sustained some scratches. BUT.... otherwise fine. | ||

Recently got an S7 Edge. first smartphone I have ever owned. The SO recently got the iPhone 6S. Hate the user interface on her phone and mine is not much better. It's funny, I got this phone so I didn't look like a Luddite walking into my new job at a high tech company with a 6 year old slider phone. Then I find out they supply an iPhone6S for work use (only). Could have kept my phone... | ||

It takes a little while to get used to Android, but I think you'll end up liking it better than the iPhone... my opinion. I'm the lone Android in an iHouse. | ||

Don't forget that HTC will replace the screen for you once for free. Just register the device with them. | ||

HTC will replace the entire phone for any reason for 1 full year... even if I want to switch carriers. | ||

I gave up on HTC a few years ago, I had an 8X that suddenly developed issues with the battery right at the end of the warranty. HTC replaced the phone 5 times before I got one that wasn't defective in some way, then 4 months later that one got the same battery issue, and I ended up fixing it myself. Each time trying to get it fixed was pulling teeth, the techs kept wanting me to do things that can't be done like removing the non removable battery and memory card. I switched to Nokia/MS and haven't looked back. The phones are more reliable, better build quality, best cameras you can get on a phone, and they have better OEM support. HTC doesn't reliably update their OSes while a 3.5 year old Nokia is still getting updates. Also, don't buy locked phones, that way if you want to switch carriers, it is as simple as popping in a SIM card, no need to replace the device, also you get the advantage of updating sooner, and no preinstalled carrier bloatware. Dual SIM means you can have two phone numbers, or even expand your coverage by using two different providers. (Message edited by Froggy on March 17, 2016) | ||
