Well... just in a way out of curiosity - what made you think "This is what is missing in my life" of the X10?
For me it was a friend who showed it to me and I tried it - and almost immediately fell in love with it.
Actually this is the second best phone I have owned. The best is the Nokia 3210 - that phone could withstand some serious beatings and "falling-out-of-the-pocket-onto-the-asphalt"!
1. I'm 17
2. Need an upgrade from the LG Vu
3. The chick who sold it was hot
4. Phone looked sexy and was a MAJOR upgrade to a smartphone
I got conned into buying it by the rogers sales man, personally I would have liked to do some more research before buying the phone
I never had a smartphone before my X10. In the past I had feature phones from Nokia, Motorola, and then I had a Sony Ericsson Z525 which I liked.
When the Sony Ericsson X1 first came out, I was impressed. I wanted it, but it was not offered in the United States though one of the major wireless carriers here, so I just kept on using my Z525. When the X2 came along, I thought it was unimpressive so I didn't think about that one much.
I saw videos of the X10 around the time of its release and was impressed by the custom UI so that started up my interest in the XPERIA X-series again. Then as Android became more and more popular, I kept hoping that it would make it to the U.S.. When it finally did, I picked one up for $50.00 (U.S.D.) and have been happy with it.
It's a nice evolutionary kind of product for me. I used to use a PlayStation Portable for mobile gaming, listening to music, and videos. And I used a Sony NAV-U for navigation. Now my X10 is my main portable music player, it's great for watching videos, I have some casual games installed on it, the camera is okay when I'm without my usual digital point-and-shoots, and the free Google Maps/Navigation can't be beat. It's also great to have around for general Web stuff.
The only bummer about the phone is being tied to AT&T:
Who will never offer firmware upgrades to their Android 1.6 X10 customers
Who has no inexpensive unlimited data plan
I'm using the SE generic global 2.1 firmware right now which suits me fine, and I'm patiently waiting for the 2.3 upgrade. The phone may no longer be a high-end device, but it's still sleek looking, has good build quality, performs decently, and does what I need it to do.
1. Loved the design
2. I've been an Ericsson/Sony Ericsson Fanboy since the 90s.
3. I originally wanted a desire but that wasn't available on my network carrier.
4. I've wanted a smart phone. Could never afford UIQ phones (nearly bought an M600 once), never liked S60, WM or ios so Android on SE was a god send.
free and the camera
Its design, white color, and the "Sony" word..
1. Camera
2. Cheaper then the desire and sgs on craigslist when I bought it
Truth be told as soon as I'm eligible for a upgrade through rogers I'm selling my x10

Sony always works great for me. Since I bought my first Z500 almost 10 years ago.
i had a crappy galaxy i7500, needed a new high end smartphone, xperia x10 was a good choice, under circumstances had to get it used, it was the cheapest used high end smartphone i could get, at $200 for a pretty good condition, i'm pretty happy by my purchase

My first smartphone, and I knowingly bought it when I knew it was at its end of the life cycle because it was relatively cheap (350 bucks without plan) and was fast and sexy, and I saw the support XDA had for this smartphone.
It was love at first sight.
I would have gone for the captivate for ATT but it was too expensive at the time. So i got the X10 instead. I am glad i did it in the long run cuz of the upcoming release of gingerbread and the camera. I personally love my X10.

It never came to me that I need to buy anything larger than Sonyericsson T303, and never came to my mind to buy an x10 mini, but when I was looking for a new phone, I see a couple of good review about the x10 mini, so I bought one. after a month or two I find it hard to surf the web because of its size, and my Post paid plan contract is ending soon, so I aquire the plan with x8, which is like mini, only larger. I get used to it.
So I was thinking, X10 mini have decent camera, but small in size, X8 have larger display but lousy camera, so I trade it for X10. I was thinking of HTC Desire HD, but finding it too big. I was also eyeing for defy but x10 screen is larger.
So there, X10's journey to my life is not that easy nor complicated. I think this is what we call destiny.. hahahaha...
June last year i wanted one of 2 phones, desire or x10.
Was my first android phone so no research was done.... doh
I ended up getting x10 cus the desire looked so wide like a brick.
Now i wish i didnt upgrade on my exact due date, i should of waited till more phones were released.
However i still love my x10 but only thanks to xda community!

First, it looks cool and has relatively high specs.
Could've got a SGS but my mom has one already, and it's not as good looking compared to the X10.

Was it necessary to create a new thread just to ask this??? Don't we have enough pointless threads already?
If you are referring to "Beats Audio" and trying to be clever in title, then Samsungs sound is amazing and much better than my Sensation XE
or If you are asking why samsung is better than HTC heres my opinion.
HTC do nice premium devices (as from 3 years ago), materials etc feel expensive and very premium. However being with HTC for the last 10 years, they always fail on software on performance and I have always needed to root them and put a ROM on them to make it better. I do like Sense though.
However as this is my first samsung smartphone I can only say they case is nice not as premium feel as HTC but the software is very good, the phone is responsive and the interface is quick and nice.
Are we talking about Beats Audio or Samsung just being better than HTC?
I've been an HTC customer for years, way before Android when they were making iPaq devices. I like(d) HTC so my first Android phone was an HTC but I think they're just having trouble competing properly because the hoi polloi don't know the name, so HTC undercut competitors and sacrifice on build quality.
Almost everyone I know has an iPhone or Blackberry. They scoff at "that HTC thing" I had, they think Android is the poor man's smartphone. The majority of people like to copy others when they don't understand the choices available to them so they naturally go with Apple, Blackberry and the more adventurous ones who are willing to try Android will opt for Samsung, Sony and Motorola.
I picked Samsung this time based on spec and my perception of HTC failing to build functional, reliable devices.
My eXperience about htc n samsung.
I had got htc sensation after using battery is horrible
.sound quality is horrible.very low sound.Then sold out after 1 day.
Then got samsung s2 .with this i m satisfied.
After some days i got htc sensation xe .i feel same thing sould quality not so much good as samsung.battery is horrible.i sold out then got s2 white .at third time i didnot buy one x .coz i knw iit is useless for me now i got s3 n m satisfied

Same can be said for Samsung mate. I've had GS1 for two years and we also had a GS2 too. I wasted so much of my life flashing so many betas, rc's, finals on those two devices.... And we all know why.. **** stock roms with performance to match. All I ever wanted was a sense Rom. Never happened.
Tried a GS3 and One X and kept the One X. All Virgin stock and working so well. No need to flash a thing. No more titanium backups failing. No more bootloops. And. Got my life back.

I'm a Samsung Man (TV DVD wise). My first Samsung phones are the S series. I love them truly awesome phones i want for nothing with them..
But i got to say i'm so proud of HTC and their One X phone. It's their first true brand phone that sits above all their others for the first time. When you want the best from HTC, you now know it's the One X. In the past i couldn't tell you what their hero phone was.
HTC makes great phones, but they lost their edge. On my next device, I don't want to do a htcdev bootloader unlock, nor do I want to wait around for my phone to die. Since, I can't do a battery pull because of the built-in batteries. When it comes to Android it is either Samsung or HTC. Sense was fun, Touchwiz sounds like fun. Besides there's even going to be some new development taking place on the Sprint/possibly Verizon CDMA sides.

I almost got myself the One X... such a great phone untill... I noticed the BEATS (Tm)
I immediately went for the S3.. as I don't want overpriced logo c*** on the back of my phone
I'm a user of HTC. Used to use HTC Hero, now - Sensation. Their smartphones has many software bugs. The percentage of hardware bugs is very high. Though their repairing service is ****. They can repair your phone for months...
They will cancel your guarantee because of root automatically (htcdevs). In the same time the smartphones' quality is very poor, the telephones can be cracked from time to time. And not-warranty repairing can cost you the price of a new phone.
The antenna and sound are awful at all HTCs beginning from Sensation. And finally their battery is a piece of ****. Now it's built-in, so can not be replaced by 3rd party one.
NEVER buy HTC smartphones.

It gets hot, that's true (and kinda strange.... )
The camera isn't that bad (and absolutely enough for the use you're gonna do of it, e.g. posting photos on FB)
If you are looking for similar sized phones you can consider the GSIII Mini, considering the fact that it hasn't got Sense customization, and for a HTC user it can be kinda disappointing (I used to have a Wildfire S, when I bought a Xperia go I was so disappointed of sony customized UI that I replaced it with the Desire X)
Just a thing... please improve your english..

I'd recommend it if you can get it for £180.
However if you're willing to go for a few quid extra I'd go for the GSIII Mini or a little bit more than that you could get a Nexus 4...
As Matyt said, the device gets hot and it gets pretty annoying and unpleasant.
We have received updates for this device, and most users now have a Jelly Bean update.
Moreover our device gets the Linux 3.4 kernel with Jelly Bean meaning we'll be able to run the next few releases of Android on our phone whether it's officially or unofficially.
We have lots of progress on the AOSP ROMs front as well, with CM9 almost fully working and CM10.1 in the works.
In terms of developer support, you can't go wrong with the DX
Thanks for your advice im geting more tempted to get the desire x now do you think there is a way to fix the overheating and do yuou think this could shorten its life?
once i again....
if you dont have too much money and want a nice - cool , fast phone...not in a shoe size...you better buy it!!!!
it gets hot but not in critical points....
for the money you will pay you will get a very good phone
and lately a lot of developers are working on our phone...so we will get jb roms aosp and others..which will make our phone twice faster
from what you ask...this phone suits you!! A LOTTT

thanks for all your help nice to see a bunch of friendy guys who know what there talking about who can give real advice
mine doesnt over heat until i play an intense 3d game. and that happens to all the midrange phones i know of. Its only major compromise is on:
- no front camera
- no digital compass
- no 720p video recording (although playback is possible)
But dont forget the positive things:
- fast processor
- Good camera lens and low light snapshots
- HTC Sense (although lite version)
- Ram is higher
- Screen colour reproduciton is v good. (although not very bright)
- HTC Sense
- JellyBean (Upcoming in some regions - Damn you HTC)
- Light and beautiful design.
I agree with neXus PRIME. I havent had the issue of the phone overheating.
The phone is absolutely amazing in my honest opinion. Except for the front camera and htc full sense. Although i would advice you to check this link regarding the white noise (hiss sound) on some of our Desire X.
But that has never annoyed me at all as i barely noticed it. And after some search on Google, the white noise seems to be a problem or some kind of sacrifice introduced on almost all mobile devices to compensate and even out other weird sounds. I think there is a video regarding this which is on one of the pages on that link thread.
There is nothing else to disregard Desire X as an awesome and handy and comfortable device for those of us keen on getting a quality phone within a budget.
And once again if you want to compensate for all the con points neXus PRIME has first mentioned in the above thread, then by all means buy a Samsung Galaxy S3 mini.
I have come from a Wildfire to the Desire x.
The perfect move.
The DX camera is 10x netter than the Wildfire
I am glad i Made the move.

It important that you are 100% happy with your purchase...my advice go with your heart.
the Desire X is a nice phone has everything that you need and will receive updates for at least 4.X(not sure about official but surely unofficially).
about the heating that can usually happen due to prolonged usage at high frequency of the processor(our default governor is performance hence the reason slow down scaling and rapid fire upscaling).
this can be fixed by moving to interactive governor(better ratio of scaling) or/and changing the scaling governor to conservative.
though this problem might persist if you play games/use apps that have a high processor demand(usually very graphic intensive).
there so my suggestion is to look for a device that has the following points.
1.confirmed jb update(this gives it a better chance of getting 4.x future updates).
2.Strong developer comunity.
3.possible working method for rooting.
4.custom recoveries.
5.good specs vs price ratio.
for me the Desire X ticks all these boxes.
but in the end the choice is yours.
Good Luck,
Dark Passenger
The phone is far better with the JB update, from my own anecdotal experience. I was unhappy with it on ICS. I'm still not impressed with Sense Lite that we were burdend with, and had I known about it at the time I would have opted for another device.
There are many positives about the phone, it is very cheap and it works OK for the price. If I had more money I would go for a Nexus 4 though.
The other reviews above are good, but I'd add in the actual handset is not very comfortable in your hands, especially for extended periods, and the screen feels less responsive than the one on the old Desire (Bravo). It is very plasticy and the back cover feels very cheapo and fragile.
It's a grand Android phone, it costs next to nothing (comparatively) but the performance is fairly low end and there's an air of cheapness to the whole thing. My Nexus 4, GS3 and other devices feel far superior (though to be fair they are). My One X JB update slowed down some fairly basic functionality for me and I really didn't like it after it updated. I've a concern that HTC are rushing software or it is too fragmented for them to release solid ROMs for their devices.
I use the DX as my day to day out and about phone and it works fine for the most part. There's nothign major wrong with it, just a lot of little niggles here and there. Some of which were fixed with JB update!
If you want a very cheap phone for basic surfing, facebook etc and won't be installing any particularly big games you'll be fine with this device.
I went to get the desire X on sataday and was told by the shop that they do not keep them in stock as they are such a bad phone that they nobody wanted them but from what you guys said it sounds like hes talking out of his ass

i never do i sent a nice email to there head office saying how there staff ignored evreyone in the shop untill they all waked out then when i came back an hr later the palce was empty and then was told its a rubish phone but you guys on here seem to be loving the thing so im just looking for somewhere elce to buy it from but there isnt any other place i can find that sells it so i may have to bite the bullet and buy it from them
Personally, i hate the phone. I regret buying it everyday. Hell, even my old Galaxy S was a lot better then this piece of crap. Don't recommend buying it.
I find it Amazing that some people take so much effort and time to come onto a forum and talk rubbish.
You can go onto virtually any forum, IPHONE, Galaxy 3 and 4 forums, you will always get people there with problems, mostly user related.
You also get the chops who also go onto the various forums and say this phone is the biggest rubbish just for the kick of it.
To the one who bought this product, surely you dont compare it to Top of the range Galaxy, Sony or Iphone.
Compare apples with apples.
The Desire X fits into its own market, It delivers just what is expected of it . Accept that or buy another phone that will suit your needs.

HTC Desire X ¦ Android 4.0.4 ¦ ShadowDX ROM by Team Shadow ¦ Tapatalk 2 ¦
ok, i have had HTC phones in the past, however, got an s3 about a year ago and i love it. one of the reasons i left HTC was i was tired of not getting updates in a timely manner (or at all) and the lack of dev support when compared to the GS3 (i am a flash-o-holic). but i am very interested in the ONE.
Anyone that has come over from an s3, i would love to hear what you like or dont about the phone as i am trying to make a decision in the next day or so (one or the s4). The S4 does look great, but its SO close to the s3 in terms of look and general use that i dont knwo if i would really fee like i am getting a new phone.
Thanks!
I came from att and the gs3 and I love this phone. In terms of design and how the phone feels in the hand, there is absolutely no comparison. The phone is definitely snappier and sense 5 is significantly less intrusive then touchwiz. The display is amazing but it does seem smaller then just .1inch(4.7 vs 4.8). I also get much better battery life on the ONE then I did on my gs3. I was in your boat and I debated between the s4 and ONE and I'm glad I made this choice. In the end it is definitely personal preference though.
Sent from my HTC One using xda app-developers app
I had the S3 before my Nexus 4 and now I have the One.
The One blows the S3 away in every aspect IMO, and I loved the S3. I mean loved it. But the One is my favorite phone EVER, hands down.
I also had an SIII. I went from SIII to the HTC One. However I jumped ship to the Sony Xperia Z. I did have the SIV for sometime but the Xperia Z is really something. It's has been an understatement phone because the HTC One and SIV steal the spotlight but really the Xperia Z us probably far the best to use. All the connectivity things and it has its own BlinkFeed styled app. It's really great.
Try the Xperia Z and the HTC One and see for yourself. The One us a great device but the Sony just has that little something over it

Flaps for every port? No thanks. I don't need the extra hassle of things that break in a matter of months just to take my phone swimming.
The Xperia Z is definitely a nice phone, but I don't care for the design.
I currently have both the S3 and the One. I use both daily with the S3 being a work phone and the One being my personal phone. It really isn't fair to compare the S3 to the One though. For my use, the One is superior in every way. Battery, smoothness, speed, display, form factor...
I must admit that I am an HTC fan boy coming from a G1, G2, Evo, Amaze, and One S. I did have an S2 for a period before I gave it to my brother and thought it was brilliant at the time though so maybe not completely bias.
Seriously though, when the S3 was announced, I was walking around claiming it as my next device. I was sold. When I went to get one, I couldn't do it. I thought it felt cheap and worth maybe $200. I wandered around and decided I would rather have the One S. It just seemed like a better device. My work then decided to change networks and give us our choice of an S3 or an IPhone. I obviously went with android but quickly found out I had made the right choice with skipping the S3 at launch.
I never felt like the S3 was a better phone than the One S even though it should have been. The screen size was better but I always felt like the One S looked better. I also saw no significant difference in speed. The S3 was better at multi tasking but everyday lags and stutter were no different. They just seemed to be on par with each other. Once I picked up the One, I realized what crap I had been using. The One is just on another level. Compare it to the S4 but comparing with S3 is just being mean.
Sent from my HTC One using xda premium
Thanks for all the input and suggestions. I really appreciate it. However maybe I didn't state my intent well enough.
I am not trying to compare to an s3. That is my most current phone (had the one s before that) I am considering this over the gs4. I know both those blow the s3 out of the water but that's the phone I am leaving.
As for the Xperia I am definitely interested but don't think the dimensions would work. And from what I have seen the ui is just ok. But I will definitely mess with it when I can. Maybe it will be the one after this (every 6 months!!)

I 1000% agree with you on the build quality. Although i have not had a SINGLE issue with any samsung phone i have had, but for me, build quality is a second priority honestly cause the first thing i do with a new phone is get a good case and screen protector so really all that cool metal doesn't mean a damn thing.

This is the One forum, and someone was asking for experience using the ONE coming from the S3. Your posts do not apply to that topic. You're continuing to post about a phone you're dev'ing for that no one asked about.
Bye.

I'm not sure if your reading this correctly... He asked about the One or SIV. I recommended an Xperia and the OP acknowledged it as well. He was talking about cases for when he gets a new phone so I just put a little doubt out of his mind with the Z.
If you have a problem you can leave or just ignore what I'm saying, just like how I ignored you when you were saying how you don't care about the design when I wasn't asking for your opinion... In fact, I was talking to the OP so please, be quiet if no one was talking to you at first.

Ok, fair enough. My apologies but it still appeared to be trolling IMO
Just to be fair, since you want to compare the One and the Z:

And all three

As much as I love my One, the S3 is still a fantastic phone which could have kept me happy for another year. The only thing that pushed me to upgrade is my wife's phone was dying and she gets my hand-me-downs.
I'm perfectly happy with my HTC One, but if you have a perfectly good S3 you could probably hold out a few more months and see if new Nexus or Note 3 comes out.

Can't wait to make the jump in a couple weeks. Just messing with a friend's HTC One for 5-10 minutes I was sold on its build quality, and the Dev community (it being internationally flashable) is awesome. Only see positives for this phone in all aspects. So glad to be moving from plastic to QUALITY. I've yet to get a compliment that my s3 looks nice, and the HTC One gets nothing but positive looks.

Sony doesn't need any protection. But they do give you two InvisiSheild protectors for front and back. Just for the people who are a but scared. HTC One scratches easily... Even in the Offical Double Dip case...
The Xperia Z with the Honami ROM is very great and you should consider it when you go to buy your phone

yeah.. i am definitely gonna mess with it before i buy. They are supposed to be instore tomorrow so hopefully i can mess with all the options and just pick one up tomorrow before another phone gets tipped and i wait for that one!! lol (its a vicious cycle)!!
DAMN... and now google has to schedule something for the 24th!!!!! i woud expect android 4.3 but hopefully it wont be the nexus 5 (cause that should ship with KLP i would hope) but good thing TMO in CA has a 30 day return policy!! going to the store hopefully today to make my choice.

ok, i have had HTC phones in the past, however, got an s3 about a year ago and i love it. one of the reasons i left HTC was i was tired of not getting updates in a timely manner (or at all) and the lack of dev support when compared to the GS3 (i am a flash-o-holic). but i am very interested in the ONE.
Anyone that has come over from an s3, i would love to hear what you like or dont about the phone as i am trying to make a decision in the next day or so (one or the s4). The S4 does look great, but its SO close to the s3 in terms of look and general use that i dont knwo if i would really fee like i am getting a new phone.
Thanks!

Biggest minus for me is the button layout change and missing of menu button. That's a HUGE minus for me. Guess you don't know what's missing till you lost it. But S3 had the sudden death syndrome so it makes no sense for me to dive into S4 when I just got screwed over by S3...
The dilemmas...
Hey guys. I'm currently using an HTC One and I'm thinking of buying the Xperia Z2 in June. The last Sony phone I used was the X10 Mini and haven't used a Sony since. I wasn't at all impressed by the new HTC One or the Galaxy S5, so basically the only phone left that's even remotely interesting would be the Xperia Z2.
Which brings me to my question: Can Sony be trusted? I have read about several issues with their phones.
Same boat as you. Last sony I had was the standard Sony X10. It was awful. Hated every minute of it. Was not as bad as my nokia 5800 I owned before it though.
Phones since then have been the galaxy S2, galaxy S3, now the LG G2 (best phone so far), and now pre ordered the X2. It looks amazing, and am very excited about it. Might not have it long as im planning (stupidly maybe) to take it to my 3yr old sons swimming lessons and get some underwater video footage of him as he loves swimming underwater! Think the slow motion feature will look amazing. So hoping Sony really is true to their word on it being waterproof

Well, after using some 9 Sony phones I believe this is the only brand which can be trusted so well. In fact I went a step ahead to import their Xperia Ray when it came out some 2 and a half years ago(means no warranty). Not a single issue still, it has fallen face down, been in contact with water, thrown against the wall and it still works with a scratch! Of course, I had to change its battery twice tho, both times after it fell or I threw it in anger, as the battery went a little fluffy and back plate wouldn't completely lock into its place. Recently got the third battery.

Good to know, haha. I'm not really into throwing 100's of euros worth of smartphones into the wall though. Being unemployed really makes you contain your anger and focus it on something else, lol. :silly:
Trusted? not really.
Let say this, the quality of the materials is without questioning but with the Software they screwed us from day one on Z1 and with the release of KitKat 4.4 they compleated the mess, which is the worst OS seen on Z1, with all the restrictions.
I own Z1 and now is not worth to sell it to buy the Z2 but everybody who did not buy Z1 I recommend to get Z2 as it is very well improved.
So I think even is Sony cannot be fully trusted I think you will not have regrets to buy Z2.

Well seeing how Slimesung failed with the S5 (they even managed to mess TW up even more, lol. Uglier and STILL lagging) and HTC failed with the M8 in my eyes (they could have put in a higer MP camera...), the Z2 is the only interesting phone out there, in my humble opinion.

I agree with you, at least HTC have tried something different, that vould be classed as usefull, dual camera, its definately, and could be useful. I mean come on, a heartbeat monitor, seriously!! I loved my S2 and my S3. The S4 just did not offer enough to make me change, and my anticipation for the S5 was so high. I was convinced I was getting the S5!!
My partner is now asking why im getting a sony after saying I was going to get the S5 for so long. Well darling, its because it is sh.........
The Z2 is definately the best phone available at the moment, and strangely, I find it beautiful! I really cant wait to own it and (geniunly) go swimming with it (im planning on doing a video of my 3yr old at his swimming lesson).
Still, phone of the year I think in my opinion will be...........the LG G3!

To be fair i though that on release of kit kat on G2, however I have flashed version 20b on it and suffer no problems whatsoever, I know its not officially release in Uk, but hey, thats why im on xda
I have no experience of Sony updates as if yet so cant comment here with an opinion yet. I know im going to love the Z2, the only thing that worries me is battery, but im hoping with a 3200 battery it will last the day as my G2 does with extreme heavy use.
On a side note, i bloody hate pre ordering phones, hate waiting, have zero patience with things like that at least when my phone does come i will have a new shiny sony tv being delivered for free shortly after, nice bonus considering I would have got the Z2 regardless. Samsung, hang your heads in shame :what:

You do know Sony aren't offering a TV, right? It's all on Vodafone UK, mate. Don't wanna defend Samsung, just wanna get the facts out.
Besides, if the battery turns out to be a little on the downside on the stock rom, I'm sure you could flash something that improves the battery. That's why we're on XDA.

Well to be fair its actually Sony doing the promotion, just through Vodafone, which luckily for me I am on.
TV Offer: Promoter, Sony Mobile Communications. First 3000 eligible pre-orders only before 09.04.14. TV can only be redeemed after first bill payment, between 08.05.14 to 08.07.14. Airtime agreement required. Excludes business customers, except small business (1-4 connections). TV offer Ts&Cs at vodafone.co.uk/sonyxperia
Soon as you recieve tv vodafone dont want to know. Hopefully this means that vodafone are one of the 'trusted partners' that will get the phone on release.
And yes your right on the battery side, but always better to get it running good from stock first as a good base to build on. I am hoping to be honest that people really do decide to avoid the Samsung, not because I hate them as I dont, but because I want them to pull something special out of the bag for the S6. The S3 was such a special phone and I loved it, still holds its own now, especially with a custom rom.
