I bet Lowveld will be glad he hasn't started work on the coding of the new base yet then if it's likely another one will be released...
Anyone got any ideas if HTC have any decent future launches planned (obviously they will have, I mean in the way of specs, device names etc). Due an upgrade in about 3 - 4 months so don't wan't to be getting a phone that's been out a while with the one X (before anyone tells me it's not been out a while, It will be 6 months since release by the time I upgrade!), I Always seem to upgrade at the wrong time... Don't get me wrong, Love my DS, but I got the phone, 2 weeks later SGS2 launched Don't want to do that again..
It is kinda hard. After a couple of days on aokp I want to use sense. Its great being able to jump between the two. Suppose that's the beauty of being rooted.
As an aside I and a few others here are interested in the one x and the boot loader. Just been speaking to one of my buds who is a big xda member and he is one of the people trying to crack S-OFF and there is a bounty of $2000 to the first person to do it .
Shouldn't be long then with that incentive

You might aswell wait and hold out if you can. I'm in a similar position, I want to upgrade to the One S next month, but it means I will have to keep it for 2 years, and it'd hardware might age out
So I *think* I might just pass out on the upgrade ...

Guys, unlocking via HTCdev does not void your warranty. Only if something goes wrong as a result of being unlocked/rooted, then your warranty is voided. If you want to return the phone, you can relock the bootloader and install a RUU, the "TAMPERED" sign goes away and "UNLOCKED" turns into "RELOCKED".
If you do this you have nothing to worry about in terms of warranty/returning the phone.
Correct. Got the following pm from an official HTC rep regarding my WiFi aerial hardware issue....

Hi guys, this post is mainly aimed at the German members of xda, I'm in Munich for a few days next week and after a long work day me and a couple of friends would like to find a bar to relax in and enjoy the Euro's, can anybody suggest somewhere? I'm based in the Kempinski hotel at Munich airport, I'm not a fan of hotel bars (full of other tourists) and would prefer to experience what Munich is really like, I've never been to Munich before and I'm really looking forward to it :beer:
I had a good play with my friends One S today.
Now, I don't think it will be my next phone. The screen is definitely grainier than the DS, no doubt about it. Colour saturation is very nice on it, pictures look fantastic, but going to text based stuff, its really grainy, I actually can't believe it's that bad, for what is considered a high end range. Why did HTC choose the Damn pentium screen?
I also used the full Sense 4.0, stuff looks nicer, slightly snappier, but to be honest, it's more or less the same speed that Fallout offers me. Of course, this is only tests with the homescreen etc, but games and web browsing are a different story!
The One S' design is so beautiful though... It's so light and thin, even with the leather case it had on it!
Battery seems alright. My friend said it lasts him a day... He watched a movie through netflix, streaming through 3G, and it drained like 40% battery, which I suppose is acceptable...
But I doubt the One S will last me the 2 years. The screen is terrible IMO. The UI is pretty much what I have on my DS, so it's not a huge game changer. I'd only benefit from the larger screen (but poorer quality!) And faster chip.
Even the SGS2 with a lower res display is clearer and sharper.
So I think I will probably pass out, or i might look to the GNex, and have a good play with that too...

The screen pissed me off a lot when I looked at it before I got it, while I still had my DS. But after using this for a month now, I hardly notice the graininess unless I have another LCD next to it. Which is never. It only looks horrible because you're still too used to the DS.
Battery life is amazing - 2mw drain when screen is off, and ~5 hours screen on time with max brightness. Try getting that on DS.

Hello old friend... long time no see. Seems like yesterday.... me flashing your roms zero hour on my ds and irritating you with bug reports and requests...
And i just realized how much i've been away from this forum when i saw your recog dev title... Hearty congratulations!!
I'm catching it. But I'm still a skeptic towards the whole extinction of the desktop. BTW, congrats on Recognized Developer!
Yes, long overdue! Congrats LOWVELD!

I'd like to know why that is as well. Seems similar to AMD selling the X3 which is actually an X4 with a locked core. Never understood it but to be honest I've never cared enough to understand why. This seems interesting though. I'm sure there's a valid reason though
