Can't seem to find full info on this...so far I see screenshot like stuff off web, pdf files, pictures...
My big question is powerpoints. If I'm going to use this for notes it'll be a necessity to be able to scribble on those slides...anyone know if that's viable?

The way note taking works is to take a snapshot of the display and then save any
Hand written notes that are over layed. So for Powepoint you would send jpegs of each slide you commented on.

Jah can you give us an idea of the performance versus the Galaxy Tab? Does it feel faster? Sadden its not a dual core....this might not matter now but it surely will in 6 months.
Much smoother than the Galaxy Tab and the screen is of better quality. Sense UI makes the overall experience much better as well.

Can I say I wish I was you right now lol.. I really want this tablet for this note taking ability so I have to ask you one question. Is the pen accurate enough to take notes on a smaller scale? Not like a giant scribble that they show in all the videos.
Have you compared the ntrig pen system to the wacom pen system found in many higher end windows 7 tablet PCs?
I only have experience with the wacom tablets and they work awesome!
You can make detail notes but i think you will need a Matt screen protector as the screen is to slippery for more than a few short notes.

I sold it. Why? Because there is no official upgrade or whatsoever since I got it on May, and most of all, the scribe pen is useless and have very little function to it on evernote. I paid freaking $80 for the pen! $80! And all it can do is take down notes! I could have bought any other tablet for that kind of use. But what I really bought it for was for sketching and hoped that it would function with Fresco app... but HTC won't do a damn thing about their $80 pen. So long Flyer!
so, we care because?
and which one did you buy?

If you have any bad feedback about the flyer post it on HTC facebook page o twitter, i love the scribe pen and his integration with evernote but seriously as someone said here "if you are going to buy something, buy it for what it is and not for what it will be".
All you have written in the first post says to me that the flyer wasn't for you (and it is one of the best tablets that i have used) and the fault was your bad choice of shopping a product that will fits yours needs and not the tablet itself.
Amen to 13lizzard. This is all generically a "PC" world because of the "personal" part of computing. For me, the Flyer is the best set of price, feature, size, and quality out there, and obviously it is not for SC23 - great, I get it - but above all, BUY YOUR TOYS FOR WHAT THEY CAN DO, NOT WHAT THEY MIGHT BECOME. That's kind of like marrying a gal not for who she is but how you think you are going to change her...
I don't know how you couldn't make use of pen, but I now use Flyer instead of carrying a lot of notebooks with me while working with customers at field. You can make a full report with photo, notes, and even sound record. Even with HC update, pen is much more useful. Maybe you should go for iPad2

Its basically a crap shoot with any of these manufactures. Except Asus Acer since they dont produce many phones. They all pretty much suck for updates. However the xoom has been doing well. I chose this because the flyer was too much drama, no root, no way to go back from HC, and no support.

I can't decide whether you are being sarcastic or honest.
I switched to pencil and paper for a bit. The UI is bare, but its as natural of an interface as you can get. An added bonus is the low cost of hardware upgrades.
i have even found the customer support rubbish for when pencil hardware failed multi times and needed to be rebooted with sharpener. i think it has boot looped and now run out of battery
Meh. The reason I won't touch any android manufacturer other then HTC is:
1) HTC Sense
2) Build Quality
I have always known that HTC uses inferior CPU/GPU; However, the build quality + software MORE then makes up for it.
I work for HTC and have been using the Flyer with Honeycomb test ROMs for a couple months. I absolutely love it. Flyer + Honeycomb is brilliant.
Flyer fans, keep the faith! You will be rewarded soon.

I wouldn't spend more than $250.00 on one today. But yeah, it's a great little tablet. I love mine and think there's plenty of life lieft in the o'l girl. Also, it's the only 7" option if pen support is on your list.
That's precisely what it use mine for and it excels in that area. I wanted a reasonably procedure tab with decent specs and honeycomb. It succeeded in all these areas.

I'm curiously wondering how many of you xda a developers users, actually like the new HTC One? Personally I like the design, features such as the stereo speakers that are on the front and the new design of the back. I don't really know how I would like sense 5 considering sense 4 on Viper ROM 3.1 .0 is actually really really good so give me your thoughts

I like the back. Not a big fan of the speakers but I bet they do sound good. Nice specs but if Sprint gets it and changes it like they did the One X then it'll make me disappointed I just got this one.

Personally, and i probably will get flamed by this, but if they leave it that way, im going to the Samsung side.
I like the hardware but I really hate the new sense. I'll pass it and see what improvement htc gonna make in the next device plus I have to wait my upgrade in Mar 2014

My wife isn't big on phones, as long as she can talk, text, and use the internet she's fine, she has her upgrade now so I'll be getting it and giving her my evo and if I don't like it I'll just switch back and give her the "one", and she has my og evo so I'll send that to htc for $100
If the one stays the same with the other carriers I'm looking forward to see how the development will go.

i like the htc one. i wouldnt mind getting it but im satisfied with my ltevo
i do like the "ultrapixel" camera tho. would be cool to have it and brag about it lol
I usually preorder my phones so I can have it on release day but this time I will wait to see if multitasking is back. If HTC disables this core function of Android again I will be going with another manufacture. Its ridiculous that if I am looking at a web page then check a text message then go back to the browser the page has to reload. I find this very infuriating, especially with all the power this phone is packing. Sense 5 doesn't look promising with the live tiles. Judging from the last couple of sense versions this release will be throw together also and won't be able to handle this new feature without studdering and serious lag.
Sent from my EVO using xda premium
It's ok... The best thing is the speakers... All phones speakers should face you... It just makes sense. But other that I don't see anything special about compared to the new up coming phones. By the time up ready for a upgrade at the end of the year there will be some very good phones on the market.

So are the windows essentially just widgets u could add to the screen?
I'm really drawn to the hd screen, extra ram, and extra storage. I also really love HTC's camera software.
The one drawback is the apparent lack of mSD expansion. As a systems engineer, I carry enough gear with me, so I often use my phone at job sites, carrying suites of software tools, ISOs, etc. That's in addition to the usual books, music, etc. So not having more than 64gb of storage that doesn't rely on the cloud will be a PitA (all too often, I'm in reception blackholes).
I know it'll come in 32 and 64gb flavors, but I really hate paying the premium for higher storage capacity consumption devices/phones.
If the Evo flavor ever does come to fruition, I have to hope that it comes with a microSD slot. Further, if it is released, I'll hold off getting one. I'm pretty happy with the 4g LTE and the price will drop in like 3 months anyway.
I'm in the same boat as you, I like having expandable storage. I can't always rely on cloud services. It's actually quite a debate. Some people like to flame others for wanting an sd card slot. I don't get it. Since I use my phone for work, mp3 player, and camera, the more storage I can get the better. I don't always have data and life is too busy too constantly swap what I have in my storage.
I tend to agree with many of the points raised here. Lack of external storage is rough, as is losing the kickstand. Also, while the new camera has better low light, i think 4MP is too low to allow for cropping. I'd have preferred a camera as good as Lumia 920.

Do you want a device with premium quality that is built solid and has natural colors on the screen (like iPhone colors)? But don't mind the battery not being removable and no sd card? The HTC is for you.
Or do you want a light weight phone with a bigger display that is usually pretty easy to customize with removable battery and sd card slot but have more cartoonish colors on the display?
What won me over to HTC is the screen and build quality but it is different per person... The things you mentioned can be changed with a mod or app from the play store(go pro, chompsms, handsent, swiftkey etc). The only difference would be camera

Are you considering that either phone is going to feel small now that you've been using the note 2? I believe its gonna come down to personal preference . Both phones will do the things that you have mentioned and will do them very well just on a smaller screen.

The swype ability is already implemented in the stock keyboard. Its very useful for when your using one hand. And the auto correct woks like any other android keyboard. If it don't satisfy you I recommend perfect keyboard from the play store. It has the best auto correct I have seen on android. And a lot of customization like choosing from 5 different click sounds when typing.

So, I had the Note II for a little while, though went back to the S3; the Note's are just too big for me personally. Build quality, HTC One wins hands down. Camera, HTC One wins, I feel like the Samsung camera's over saturate the colors, and the exposure is a little off. Stock keyboard on the one is way better than the Note II. Screen, goes to HTC One hands down. Samsung screens over saturate and don't look like natural colors. Sound, goes to HTC One, both with headphones and the speakers on the phone. I honestly grew to love Sense 5 over Touchwiz. I am sick of Touchwiz. I have been with Samsung since the Galaxy S, I'm sick of plastic, and sick of Touchwiz.
Honestly, if I were you, get the HTC One. You won't miss the Note II, well, except for the screen. But the ppi more than makes up for it.

I played with it in stores, even the bloated AT&T model was extremely smooth. I've never felt a phone faster. My eyes couldn't see any flickers or frames lagging. Though, idk how HTC is with updates. Personally never owned one, only borrowed friends. If its not carrier branded I am sure you'll see good updates come reasonably quick. Though someone with more time with HTC devices may correct me.

HTC is just as bad as Samsung with updates.. Then the carrier takes their time with the update.
