Blehh, iP5 will the the same old **** like iP4 and only thing is it'll be behind our 3vo as always. I'm so sick of iOS because it's fcking boring as hell that you can't do sh1t with it. I figured everything out in 5 minutes and that's all there is.
Droid, on the other hand...DAMN! is all I can say.
I'm sure that's just a sexy concept.
I will always admit that iPhone. Hardware is sexy. Well made and great feeling.
I hate the software. Its made too easy and in that loses way too much functionality. Closed system, and controlled by a fearful tyrant who is noe all about suing the competition rather than just making his **** better.

If they are so well made then why do I see SO MANY OF THEM with broken screens... And Let me just say I worked for AT&T at one point. 90% of the people who bought the last iPhone were pissing and moaning about not getting signal. That's a piss poor design.
On a separate note... What's with their obsession with making such thin bezels? That will make putting a case on it somewhat of a challenge at some point... They already break easily enough as it is.

First off that's just a fake mockup.
Second off, why the **** does everybody have an issue with the iPhone? Them ****s are excellent phones and have great developer support and app quality is definitely better than any Market app out there when you compare equivalent apps. Especially when it comes to games(or the Android's lack of). Plus JBing solves a ****load of the "omg i can't customize so I'm gonna die" BS.
True Android can do a bunch of **** iOS can't, but you guys act like Jobs came over and personally did something wrong to you.

Yeah I know about them, these types of disputes and lawsuits between big giants happen every day, it's a part of business. If Apple wins, then those manufacturers were at fault, if they don't win, then we see Apple was at fault.
If these imports are stopped, well sucks for those companies, I'm sorry to say that, even if I do love and enjoy their products. There's a reason they would have lost and the courts decide the outcome.
Plus this Apple hate has been going on way before that. No need to lash out hate every time someone mentions a damn iPhone. Apple started this ****, and others followed. Be thankful we have such awesome phones today, and it's because of Apple, whether people like to admit it or not.
wow, how the hell are cases going to fit on that?

Business as usual. This is what corporations do. Samsung is also trying to do the reverse.
At the end of the day, it will all be settled out of court and most probably won't affect us much, if at all. And I agree, its the broken patent system, which every damn company out there tries to take advantage of.
Apple also gets sued a lot as well. It's all about greed. Why let competitors infringe on your patents to make money off your stuff? That's their thinking.
As usual fake android fanboys hating on apple; when do you EVER hear people complain of hardware issues with iphones? Almost ****ing never, any iphone hardware issue is user error because they're probably a dumb ass. Software, who gives a **** about open or closed. That argument is stupid and you sound dumb for saying it. How is android so called open source but HTC never (or takes ages) to release source code or unlock their own bootloaders. Why does iphone have to be "open" for it to be great? Why be mad because apple rules with an iron fist and actually knows how to make a decent product? Im no where near an apple fan boy just technology lover who went through 4 evo 3D's due to hardware issues/defects. Not to mention i owned 3 evo 4G's because of light leakage; HTC got popluar made their money now their hardware is dog ****. The end

Almost every instance on using this phone in public, people either stop and stare or they ask questions. It isn't like I'm trying to bring attention to myself but everyone is always asking if that is the new note. I leave it on my desk at work and whenever people come into my office, I'm asked about it and they want to doodle with the stylus. I hope this interest turns into more sales so that Samsung is prompted to come out with more phones in this line in the future. I simply refuse to go to any other phone now.
If you watched any basketball this weekend, the commercials were constant. They certainly seem to expect good sales:

Seems as if you either walk around waving this phone in the air or you are doing something to draw attention to yourself.

I get a kick out of these type of threads. I used to read them on the iPhone forums and laugh, but it seems the same type of people are here as well.

Your comment seems quite underage. Just because some people have strangers asking them about devices and you don't doesn't mean they are lying or looking for attention.
Really only a few devices in the recent past, such as the Droid RAZR, have received as much media attention and advertising as the Note, so all of your latest tablets and phones have likely not drawn the same attention from the general public. Therefore you cannot compare them to the Note.
I do not show off my phones, I use them. With my Captivate, I received no comments from strangers. With my Infuse, I had a couple, but only from people familiar with Android that were curious what brand and model it was. With the Note, same use and everything, I have received more comments and attention than the whole time I had both of my previous phone, in just two weeks. Dude in line at Chipotle, girl employee at Home Depot, several people I have never talked to in my classes here at college. This phone is turning heads whether you are looking for attention or not, so don't be a downer because nobody finds you approachable.

i don't know about the Advertising
but after using it hands on for a few days I'm addicted, it's so hard to get back to my T989
I get a lot of looks, and some comments. mostly "is that a phone???", "is that the one with a pen?", or "Is that the Super Bowl phone?" (referring the commercials played at the Super Bowl).
I have a gold metallic case on it so most of the time it looks like I am carrying a huge gold bar. Funny the looks I get.
I get asked about it all the time. I'll just be sitting on the train or at the bar or something and I guarantee someone will ask about it.

It's definitely not the advertising. It's the fact that it's a larger phone. I used a Dell Streak for 1.5 years and got the same type of comments about it.

Not worth the time to comment but I will anyway. I use my phone for business, not playing games. I don't "play" with it while waiting in a food line, nor do I walk around with it like it is a trophy. Many here do. That is obvious. As far as being "approachable", I am not looking for strangers to come up to me and ask about my phone, and I certainly don't want them "touching" it. The reason I even responded to this post was because the OP stated that the Note exuded a "coolness' factor. That certainly tells me how old he or she is.
We all grow up someday. Some of us a bit later I guess.

Nor do I walk around with it like it is a trophy as you put it. That being said, I still think it has a 'coolness' factor and yes, I have been asked about it in public. I spend a great deal of time on the phone when out - isn't that kind of the point to have a cell? If I didn't want to talk on the phone outside the office, I wouldn't carry it. I really do not mind people asking about it.

The lame response by lindenhurst has inspired me to share.
Story#1 (2 weeks ago)
I attended my wife's induction into the honor society for her university yesterday afternoon. There were 16 inductees and we all socialized a bit before the ceremony began. I was to pin my wife so I quickly made nice with the couple that sat next to us and asked if they would mind tag teaming on getting pics of the pinning action. All was set. If you could have seen the look on the face of the guy (and others around us). When I pulled out my Note... He said "what is that!?!? ". Of course, I took the opportunity to demonstrate the wonders of the Note to him as his amazement grew. After he got a chance to handle it and snap a few pics of us during our part of the ceremony he was hooked. His wife looked at me and said "I guess he's found a new toy now.. I can see it in his eyes".. I just laughed and went about my business. He had an iPhone.
Story#2 (last week)
So I venture into my local Best Buy to return an item. As I am standing at the return counter waiting for the guy to process my return, I am typing away in facebook and fully engaged on my Note. The young girl behind the counter next to him said "Wow. Is that the Note? I want to get one so badly. My mom won't let me but I am going to figure out a way to get one. I love that phone." I then let her hold it because she was so starstruck with it.. Really... I laughed inside.

I got my EVO 4G LTE yesterday and I can see why Apple is worried.
Most apple fans I talk to say that Iphones feel more responsive and have better battery life. This phone feels very responsive and I've only charged my phone one time in the past 22 hours. If Apple doesn't step up and actually improve their product they will suffer the same fate as RIM.
Has it been announced what this third lawsuit is claiming?
What they are claiming is listed in the link below.
I also actually listed the 27 HTC devices in the complaint here.

It appears HTC has countered with a complaint of their own and we are back in the ring for another 12 rounds. This is insanity looks like the ATT One X date might be in Jeopardy.

I agree. They only reason why this has gotten out of hand is because Android has began to take the market over Apple. And the only way Apple knows how to fight back is to take out the competition, starting with the biggest fish first (HTC). Instead of innovating (which they're oh-so-good at), they'd rather keep making what they have and take out competition.

I've always predicted, even when the first iPhone came out, that at some point it'll fall. They have no strategy. All they do is patent ideas that were made by other companies that are used in mainstream phones. I've said it before, Apple is to the ITC as LeBron James is to the officials in the NBA.
Sadly, Apple has the money to keep throwing bogus lawsuits out......and see which ones will stick. All the patents claims are going to hit many device manufacturers this year, will waste a lot of money, and slow down some really great devices.
Apple doesn't want the competition.....

Oh how I wish they would go somewhere!! iSuck, but I pretend like I'm better than everyone else!
Apple has been lagging behind in the phone development for quite some time. Even when the 4 was released, there were Android phones with features way ahead of it. The fact of the matter is Apple is now the one playing catch-up and lots of their customers are looking for a new, more customizable experience. So if you can't beat em, sue the pants off of them.. and that's what Apple's tactic is currently.
As of right now, Android has, and will be top dog. And I have a big suspicion that the iPhone 5 will be dead in the water unless Apple has a couple tricks up their sleeve. One mainly being iOS itself. It NEEDS to evolve in order to stay competitive. With more and more of the current generation becoming increasingly tech savvy, Apple's reliance on "it just works" will become far less effective.
None the less, in the end, it hurts consumers and makes Apple look like a huge douche canoe. And I'm all for letting that huge douche canoe drop right off a huge waterfall.

Or they could simply add almost nothing but 2 year old technology to it and people would come out in droves... oh wait... they already did that with the 4S.
Anyone else notice that some of the phones in the claim are pretty old? If they were going to have this lawsuit they should have done it long ago... It seems mighty suspicious of Apple.

Sure, it sucks for Samsung. But a lot of what Apple went after them for at least made a little sense. Samsung blatantly copied Apple in many situations. And even if there were examples of prior technology that fit the case, Apple was able to show that Samsung intentionally copied Apple's work instead of basing work off of said prior technology.
Before we start a circlejerk of people condemning Apple and all of its employees to hell, please realize that this was a legitimate legal decision and the people who made this decision put a lot of thought into it. I'm not happy that Samsung lost either, but I also believe that they lost for a reason.

This major win with a major competitor will only give birth to a whole new round of suits and new strategy that will probably lead to us being phucked over. The realization of apple being a monopoly is becoming ever more true. You think the bs we had to put up with when our EVOs were held in customs was crap, just wait. I see bad things heading our way. I know Samsung copied apple. We all said that awhile ago. But jeez, if the courts will agree with apple that a rectangle with rounded corners is copying, then what does that say for us?

If I was running apples legal department I would Sue Samsung also they are tearing there sales apart all apple needs to do to dominate the market again is make more choices for there phone bigger screens easy hacking and better ui improvements come on apple dust off those thinking caps and make a new product instead of pumping out the same phone every year.

Ha.. A billion dollars. Should be able to pay their lawyers with that.
It's not like Apple is going to be able to go willy nilly on other OEMs now. They don't have the resources for that, and if they keep it up, Google will eventually step in.
Exactly that's what I'm saying...apple isnt gonna stop at this..google is gonna need to get involved..which it looks like they did with the Motorola suit..everyone knows moto is an ip bank..
I wonder what type of phones the judge and members of the jury use?

As much as I love Android, I kind of have to agree that some of the devices that Samsung were making did look like iFails. Hell, I think Touchwiz does. I will say though, that Apple suing anyone for stealing ideas when they themselves have done so repeatedly in the past is just bs.
Here's the break down of what was infringed. Placement of home button? Thin frame with rounded corners? Serious!? I'm no Samsung fan, but for the sake of our future of android devices I was rooting for Sammy.

Like I.said..that's the scary part..they went to court with these bs patents and they won..now every phone that has those traits can be targeted..this is just the beggning im afraid..esp when its prob difficult to find a jury that isn't a iPhone or android user ..and its the patent that's the issue..once granted the court will uphold their decision..that's where reform needs to begin
I wouldn't worry. This will probably be overturned. A lot of mistakes by the jury.

I can see it now. 10 minutes after the court case is over. The judge and jury walk back to their cars talking on their IPhones... Lol

This is why we call "owned". Go HTC.

Originally I was on the Samsung bandwagon but never owned the device. The company seemed to make all the right decisions at the time.
Then I got my HOX and bought my sis her S3... Then I knew HTC was doing big things just not getting much credit. My One's screen is just amazing.
Great post to drive that point home! haha
just to add i let the same few buddies play with my HONE and now they hare considering buying a ONE lol they loves how fluid it is compared to crapwiz
OP where did that image comparison come from? I've wanted a good One/S4 screen comparison since these two phones were announced.

Droid-Life did a full review of the GS4 and included a macro comparison.

Here's another screen comparison. Doesn't have an icon comparo like the OP tho.
Fanboy circlejerk is literally hitler..
But seriously, stuff like this is why I stopped going to the Int'l One forum for a while. I was hoping it wouldn't happen here, too. IMHO it doesn't do anything except create hate between users of two different phones. One of my friends has an iPhone 5 and is happy to try to convince me that it is the **** every time I see him. I just nod politely and move along.
That my friend is what we call a walk off base hit. Good shyt

I was standing on campus the other day and heard this from a girl standing with a guy:
"HTC's are so stupid. They're the stupidest phones. They can't do anything!"
That is what she said, verbatim. I almost wanted to punch myself in the face for just hearing something that incredibly ignorant. I don't have much shame, but verbally beating down this idiot amongst my peers is not something even I can do or is it worth the effort. THIS is who HTC has to market to. Freaking idiots.
Who cares what they say? Love your phone, tell them to get stuffed
LoL I did similar things almost exactly a year ago, that's the time of galaxy s3 and HOX,
Oh well hope HTC could win this time, even the golleria glass 3rd gen is much better than the one on HTC one which is 2nd gen

I know everyone is saying "just ignore them" yadda yadda yadda. I disagree and here is why:
HTC isn't Apple or Samsung. Several reviewers have called the HTC One the "hail mary" before they bite the dust, and they may be right. If we want to see HTC keep building these amazing devices, we have to educate in order to make a sell in order to keep them in business. We are the nerds that friends and family go to when they have a question about their phones (and computers too, of course). They may say something like "well the Apple commercial said the iPhone can do THIS!" or "the Samsung commercial said the Galaxy can do THAT". We know what ALL phones are capable of doing because it's our passion. Everyone, at least in the HTC forums, know that our phone can trump nearly every feature on both the iPhone 5 and the GS4, thus, we need to show off our phones capabilities whenever we are hanging out with our friends or family.
TL;DR: If the HTC One doesn't sell well, it may be the last HTC phone ever. Show off your phone and keep them in business! :good:

So, basically, your argument is that you should be allowed to bash other phones and cause random flame wars just because it might, somehow, convince someone to buy a HTC phone. That's never going to work.
1. You're going to be arguing/disputing/whatever with a fanboy. Not someone who doesn't know anything about mobile hardware and the difference between a "Galaxy" and a "HTC," but a full-blown fanboy. They're never going to buy whatever phone you're forcing them to consider.
2. Even if it was someone who wasn't a fanboy, you arguing and trying to make them see that your phone is the god of all phones isn't exactly going to make them buy it--if anything they're less likely, because since you were so militantly trying to justify why anybody would buy your phone it would seem that there is some buyer's remorse, at least in their eyes.
3. Like I said in my other post, flame wars do NOTHING. They don't affect overall phone sales and they don't prove anything. There are probably thousands if not millions of iSheep who believe iPhones are by far the best phones and will take that opinion to their grave. Doesn't change the fact that Apple's losing market share and that Apple's stock is in a downward spiral.
But if you really want to go ahead and be a fanboy, go ahead. I really don't care. Just don't let it get in the way of real discussion. Also, it'd be great if you didn't automatically assume everything Samsung makes is crap just because it's a Samsung. Not everyone shares your opinion. I personally hate Apple but I have to admit the iPhone 5 is a pretty good phone. It's just not something I would like. Just a suggestion.
