The One S has some shortfalls. But I'm convinced this phone is this year's dark horse. The only thing keeping this phone
From top dog Is the pentile screen, which I don't mind though.

Yes I agree , I love this phone , just wish we had true s-off and a little bigger screen but I can deal with it . Can't wait till we get a good jelly bean rom.

Nice!

Ah, nice. Hope have the same community support like GS3.

What are u guys on about I think the one s screen is just perfect if anything a tiny bit too big the only thing I don't like about this phone is that it does not have NFC and in that case is not very future proof as all good Phones releasing now are going to have NFC

HTC has a great record for updating there phones. We'll see jellybean soon enough

YES! I got something that is great! I keep hearing about this pentile screen. I'm gonna look it up. I wish there was a browser that makes white webpages black, though. I know you can do some fancy stuff to get it to work, but if only Chrome had that option built in.
And not just inverted, either! That makes pictures look creepy.

This phone is the bees knees minus the pentile display...

I like the One S better. I haven't had the SIII, but I've had several similar sized Galaxy Nexii. It's honestly too big for regular use. I don't want a phone larger than 4.5".

Any chance of it coming in white?

I don't know about you all but I'd love a really white (ie no black screen with a white backplate) n5. So far the leaks make the phone look really ugly and cheap. I know we buy the nexus for its guts and software... Not its looks but it may look so bad in pictures because of the matte soft touch black paint. If you examine the pictures closer it has a very clean design.
To get to the point, this phone would look really elegant I think in white. Not since my original g1 have I had an all white phone, AMD certainly not a white nexus. I know beggars can't be choosers, but if Google ever wanted the nexus line to be a commercial success instead of just a Dev line for their new software, options like this would be awesome.
Given that zero of these leaks have revealed anything other than a black phone, I'm SOL.

Well white would be nice however all the leaks show a matte back and we all know matte white doesn't work(HTC One X)

Not that this means anything, but some of the case makers have renders of it in white. Regardless, i think google likes the oreo look of "white" devices, so i dont think they'll make a white bezeled phone anytime soon.

may be released with white as well...

Here's my quick (And bad) photoshop of how the Nexus 5 should really look like in white based on the leaked box's images.

I think this is fake
Even i photoshopped the nexus 5 black picture and got something similar to this.
This is just an inverted pic of original nexus 5 pic and it took less than a minute to do it..

Oh yah lol good eye the white nexus on the box has a black camera lens too.

Yeah the image looks legit as it follows other nexus packaging and the N5 displayed on it as a black front face just like the white version of the N4

New Blue HTC ONE M8 picture.

Just saw this and snapped a quick screen shot. Looks very nice. May have to get one even though I already have an M8! Originally posted on Phonedog.

Gotta admit that it does look nice! however I've never been one to have a vibrant phone
Sent from my HTC6525LVW using Tapatalk

I've never been one to have a vibrant colored phone either. I normally always go with the gray/silver look. That's also why I went with the 5S instead of the 5C at my last upgrade. Looks pretty, though, if you're into it.

Doesn't interest me much. I like neutral color phones. They work best with cases and the new color scheme of android IMO. I do at times wish I picked the gold model, it looks excellent in an all black case like mine. But hey, silver works fine and looks good
Sent from my HTC6525LVW using Tapatalk

This would go great with my ice blue Game Boy Pocket from many years ago.
But I too prefer neutral colors on my phones.
Edit: on second thought, the new M8 looks a bit more Aqua than blue. Not sure about that song and dance.

If only it were a dark blue.

Yeah, it's kind of sexy.

Reminds me of my old m7. As long as I can get root s-off I will upgrade.
Sent from my One M8 using Tapatalk

Looks a little bright, the blue M7 that was a Best Buy exclusive was the perfect shade of blue. It kinda looks like the glow in the dark slickwrap.

I can see myself getting tired of that color very soon if I got it.. Too loud imo
Sent from my HTC6525LVW using Tapatalk

I think in person it will look really nice!
Sent from my HTC6525LVW using Tapatalk

Looks nice. But I think, I will not let myself use a phone with that color for a long time. Am very much satisfied with my Gunmetal Gray color.

Wish mine was that color as I really liked my m7 that color. Maybe I can give my wife this one when the blue ones out(if I can s-off or course) nice find

Cool chick phone but a little too rainbow bright for me.

The camera is pretty bad :/ It's also hard to hit the power button when holding it one handed.

Double taping the status bar turns the screen off.

I never got that to work, only double tapping to turn on, it must be sensitive. Also that's why I'm not a huge fan of the camera :/

I upgraded from the DNA as well,and so far I don't have any complaints. The camera isn't the best but I knew that going in.
Sent from my HTC6525LVW using XDA Free mobile app

You can improve the camera a lot by the custom settings.
.
^this was a bit over saturated

The cameras not really bad. It's a 4 'ultra pixel' but it's good in low light and all the effects I.E 3D makes up for the la lacking pixels. I love the phone coming from a note 3. The build quality,display,size,speakers,and speed is what I favor most.
I'm not a real fan of sense but I took care of that with nova launcher and the viper1 Rom? I recommend that Rom if you're thinking about rooting ?
HTC ONE M8?

After a little over a week of use my experiences with this phone has been nothing but positive... Of course the camera leaves a lot to be desired but other than that, smooth sailing.. After a day of use on a full charge I still have 50% + left. It almost lasted 2 days that's a lot more improvement over the droid DNA.. I haven't rooted yet, I'm actually kind of scared and hesitant to. On another note I feel like I made the right decision over and S5..

Yeah it stinks.. hopefully it's no t hardware

I also have that ....
Heard from others that it's a hardware problem and the only fix is exchange. Other carriers seem to send a new device. How is the verizon?
It seems that we are getting refurbished one after 14days of purchase according to
http://www.verizonwireless.com/support/device-replacement-program/#defect
Anyone tried to talk or chat with Verizon Customer service?
