Engagdet and TheVerge have both had just terrible reviews of this phone (The review quality being the terrible part)


I understand that because it's a variant of a previously released phone they aren't as excited about it, but both of the ones I've read feel rushed and provide no real information.

these review sites are trash. they get the phone for 2 days and pump out all the reasons its bad, but the truth is they dont know how to use the phone or android.

Yup. I never trust those sites for phone reviews. They know nothing about phones

The lack of an LTE network is an interesting con about the phone. Even without LTE/4G capabilities this phone is still really dope! I'm certainly not buying it for the network. As far as complaints about Sense, well that's what you get when you purchase an HTC phone- if you don't like Sense, install a custom ROM or stay away from HTC. The battery life complaints are shocking to me- I can't imagine it being that bad. With improvements in power management or ICS, the S4 processor, and Sense 4.0 it seems bizarre that battery life could be only mediocre considering I had excellent battery life on my E3D.

Anyhoo, as always I take these reviews with a grain of salt because there is only one review that really matters- mine.

How can they say Sense is still too intrusive as a con?..IMHO if you buy an HTC phone you kind of know what you are getting into...Get over your complex and buy a stinking nexus device..

Agreed! plus most HTC phones such as the EVO line get AOSP builds that work just as well as the builds ran on nexus phones. So in the end you can have sense for those who prefer, or you can have AOSP for those who prefer that. Non-HTC phones can almost never get a sense build to play with. Having the option is what makes htc phones ideal for me. Especially considering having that same option when it comes to samsung phones with touchwiz is not appealing to me at all. Basically a samsung phone with TW is junk until stable aosp arrives.

typical ATT/Apple nuthugging websites.

Sense intrusive? HA! They toned it down in my opinion. Got rid of the huge round dock, Background for the flipclock, and most of Sense 4.0 looks useful and intuitive.
