I just wanted to give thanks to the developers of this phone. Especially the ones that gave us an AOSP experience. I recently switched from the Rezound to the Galaxy Nexus which only cost me like $15 to do so in the end. And while I'm happy with the change and I like the Galaxy Nexus, the developers of the Rezound kept it fresh for the year and 6 months I had it.
Agreed! I have had this phone for a year and a half and an still loving it. Thanks everyone!

Amen to that. The devs make it possible to get amazing updates and enjoy the true openness of android.

Yes the developers are truly what male this phone great. Also the reason to focus on hardware spec when buy a phone. I don't know how they do it but it is awesome that after all this time there are still new things to look forward to......without waiting for Verizon .

Has anyone made the switch from the iphone to this device? If so what are you thoughts/comparisons? Would you make the switch back? I am sure this has been asked but I am at work and just time constrained and can't search. Any input is greatly appreciated.

This is a great phone and will do just about anything the iPhone can do, the two downsides are the battery life is nowhere near the iPhones and the games on the play store are lacking but catching up quickly.
The screen in my opinion is much easier on the eyes than the iPhone and I love the size and feel of it. All in all if you don't mind buying an extended battery than I'd say this phone is ideal.
That being said, there are some newer phones out that are just as good but with that better battery life.
Hope I helped

Helped a lot actually thank you I am just torn between this or wait until the Incredible 4GLTE is released. I like HTC a lot. Too bad they opted out of the HTC One series. :-( That is an impressive device.

Yeah, in my personal opinion I'd just wait if out until the end of the summer. Some really great phones are coming out that will have better battery and a better chance of receiving the new jelly bean software (faster and more features than ice cream).
Glad I could help you out

Actually both my phones are Verizon so the HTC One X is a no go for me unfortunately. I know the Rezound is getting 4.0.

Wait for the incredible 4g if you want HTC. The battery on this one is pretty bad. The snapdragon s3 is not easy on the battery. Otherwise look at the nexus or the razr Maxx (official ics is rolling out as we speak) and its pretty close to aosp. They also have working cm9.
Just realized I forgot about the galaxy s3. That's also a great choice.

My upgrade isn't until March 2014. May likely get the Galaxy Note 3 or the S5. Hopefully they have the 1080p resolution and the octa8 core processor. Also key lime pie. Then again other manufacturer's are starting to build better high end devices. Kind wanna see what they have in store for us in the future. For now the Galaxy Note is still an awesome device in my eyes.

The only reason I have so much faith in development is because when I gave away my captivate I regretted it because it has insane roms! The developers in this forum are solid too..
if they made a 4.5 to 4.7 inch 1080p phone that's fast as hell id jump ship
5inches is good..but for a year now rt I've realized I like the size of the gs3 or smaller way better

The gs3 is just a much better phone in general imo....
The i717 performs horribly in comparison.
I have both and the gs3 is my daily, the i717 tends to just sit in a box until someone will hopefully buy it. I put jellybean on it, played with it for a little bit but even still it was never as smooth or as battery friendly as the s3, not even on the same level.

Honestly when I got mine almost a year ago for 50 bucks though AT&T I'd take that offer. The price just dropped on the note one also. But AT&T just offered to take $100 off the upgrade price of the note two so, I honestly might take it. Told them I'd get back with them about it... Can't make up my mind!!! Ugh =(

You've got to be kidding. Development is booming. We're kicking 4.2.2 when a lot devices don't have 4.1 yet.
And the best ROM going for the GNote, we're not even allowed to talk about.

Oooooooh snap, you talked about it! Shhhhh!!! I agree with your statement though. It just takes a small amount of time especially with this device. Well mine I know (i717) but people just want the new and to flash flash flash. I'd rather the ROMs be tested toughly than have it bricked or something.

I stepped to an S4, and though it's 5" it doesn't compare to the note so I completely agree.

HTC makes nice phones. And now they provide a web-based bootloader unlocker (s-off). But how can you replace the pen?
Honestly I never use it. Only time I use it is when I'm sending snapchats and I draw something lol. I mainly run aosp so all the bells and whistles from it are useless.

Yep I agree, but I like nerding it up here also, except I don't have as much time as I used to. I'm definitely waiting for the note 3, my note will be 20 months around the speculated time of release so I'll be signing on another 2 year plan with AT&T . I just hope they don't go overboard with the note 3 size.

yeah those google updates aren't all they're cracked up to be. I've had a gnex since the day it came out almost 2 years ago and have not had a speedy update yet. My wife and I are still waiting for the 4.3 update.
I would think this thread should go in the Nexus forums?
OT: Yeah it would be cool but as others said, OTAs aren't as all as they are cracked up to be. Custom OS's (Roms) > Google Updates (OTA's)
Nexus devices on Verizon don't get quick updates. Actually, devices in general don't.
