Ugh, i'm pretty dissapointed with HTC locking us out.
I should never have sold my Desire for this... i'm not a fan at all of SenseUI after months of problem free CM7 on my Desire, I don't care if we get 2.3.3 OTA.
I think i'm going to return my phone and get the Nexus S.

I actually had the Nexus S before this phone. Loved it! No bloatware and easily rooted. Was running CM7 on it wonderfully! The only reason I returned it was coz I got headaches from looking at the screen for more than 5 min. Yeah, I'm weird.
So, what's the deal with the XTC clip? Doesn't work on our Bell phones?
And I'm not sure how to get one and how much it would be, either. lol Anybody have an idea?

No idea here either, and I wouldn't want to invest if I don't know for sure it'll work on Bell IS.
Yes nexus s is very nice, especially its excellent support from Google directly. But I tried holding nexus and IS in each hand and I gotta say it felt like IS has more in it
TBO I am pretty happy with 2.2.1 on my IS (I'm coming from SE x10 ...) Awesome HTC Sense, rarely experience any lag, good reception, nice screen, decent in-call volume, plus just read Gingerbread upgrade will give you unpleasantly bigger font (lol)...
Haha just trying to cope with this whole s-on and late GB upgrade depression, but I'm gonna try to stay hopeful anyways!
Cheers,

Yeah, I know what you mean. The nexus s totally felt light and cheap. I'm pretty happy with my IS (I don't use HTC Sense).
But it would definitely be nice to be able to get GB...
Anybody else heard about the xtc clip not working on the bell IS?

Well, if we get like just over 10 of us willing to chip in, it'll only be $10 each.
Of course, once Raskal does his magic...

I would be willing to chip in as well for it once Raskal gets it working for us

Sweet!! Let's hope that will be soon!

I agree my Virgin Mobile HTC Incredible S is waiting to get S-OFF. and if it doesnt happen soon Ill just sell it and get the Samsung Galaxy S2 with my 30% discount a Virgin Mobile when it comes out.

I'm another Vancouverite who would be interested in chipping in for a XTC Clip.

My Galaxy S is not working fixing it will kost 180€ but that is the price of a Nexus S on Vodafone (with point).. I can't decide whether to change to a nexus s or to fix my galaxy s.. can some one advise me?

Really up to you. If that's as much as you re willing to spend, id go with the nexus. New is new after all, fresh warranty and your sgs may have other problems you're not still aware and you may end up spending more in the long run.
But that's only true if that's how much you're willing to pay and if you're not planning to get any other phone during the time you'll be stuck with your operator by getting a phone with points (assuming that's how it works there, it is here)
Another thing, updates. nexus is sure to get official updates to ics while we're still hanging for a confirmation from Samsung.
My verdict, nexus.

True! That's what i've been thinking, i've been using cm7 with stock launcher anyway so i won't even notice the diference..

I found out that the galaxy s II costs 180 with points in company sextion so I am going to buy it through mu brother's company

Bad or Good News. You Decide.

The HTC Incredible S is not available anymore in Australia because it is out of stock and is no longer being produced. Is this good because it means our phone was selling good, or is it bad because htc have stopped manufacturing it?
You choose.

Not available anymore, meaning the ICS update could be a parting gift from Optus/HTC?
They were selling them cheap and were still not popular. So I wouldn't be surprised. imo the IncS sat in an awkward sport between the Sensation, Desire S and DHD. Who was going to buy the IncS when for the same price they could get a sgs2?

Well, technically we just made it in the 18 month update window
I read that the One V won't be getting JB...that's just tight of HTC
And to us, I want a port!

Our devs will port other roms and we will sell our devices on extra big prices, because is a great device and the stock will be limited.

You sir, are smoking some heavy stuff.

The IncS has been sold for 18months. This is a long life for a phone.
When it was first sold, this was a middle range phone. By todays standards it is a low end phone. I think it is time to let it rest in peace.
Anybody who thinks that flashing an hacked rom onto a phone increases it's market value, is out of his mind.

I can see that a joke may start a revolution.
LOL
Our devs will port roms from other phones and we will use it with great satisfaction, and when we will get bored with our phones, we will sell them on extra bucks just because htc stoped produced them and the stock will be limited in the world.
No need to throw stones.
Was a joke.:beer:

Have a look at the Virgin AU website about their failure to provide ICS for the IncS. Seems HTC don't think ICS is a good experience and would prefer users to stick with Gingerbread. I'd say that signifies that it's definitely the end of the road...

Yeah the ICS OTA from Optus is laggy and slow. But its about the same performance as sense 3.0 GB was. Both are laggy. But on ARHD, the lag is gone. Boom. Figure that one out.
Only way to get the update is to dl the ruu from HTCdev which I think is good, as only advanced users will do it. Not ones that expect high performance on a low end phone and end up not buying another HTC because the new update made it lag.

Part of the reason I ended up rooting my phone was because an OTA update from HTC reduced it to a laggy mess. God knows how much crapware must be gumming up the works in those things.
I'm still pleasantly surprised by how well my phone continues to handle anything I throw at it, considering its age. I don't play many games on it, and what I do have are pretty un-taxing (Reckless Getaway is about the most 'high-end' game I have), but with a good ROM and a overclocked processor it's always smooth and responsive. On JB I honestly don't think it's any slower than my friends Samsung GS3. The smaller screen, plus the additional memory and decent processor all seem to come together into a package that just works. It's just a shame that some of its siblings stole its limelight, really. I still think it has an excellent form-factor, and I find the size perfect: not too small and not a massive slab as seems to be becoming the norm these days.
Having said that, it is old. Very much so by technology standards. To expect it to be continued to be supported is unrealistic unfortunately. We will just have to hope that developers continue to support it long after the likes of HTC have passed us by.

Agreed.
The IncS is dying, however! This phone is reliable and for that purpose solely, they should remain to sell it.
Cmon guys, the Wildfire S is still on the market, y not IncS?

You might be right, if the device is unlocked. The best value, in my opinion, is an unlocked, unrooted phone.

HTC Desire goes over 100$ with price, so I think it shoud be a bit more than that.

haven't l0st.prophet broke up his incs and needs now a new one?

I think most of the devs that say there phone is broken or lost probably just don't want to develop on an outdated phone.

the closest exchange is in another suburb LOL.
and he was talking about the big ass sig i used to have.

I bought my Incs off ebay back in November for a "buy it now" price of $140(AUS). It was unlocked, only used previously for about 2 months, and it was in great condition. It didn't look used at all. All the other unlocked ones around that time period were selling for anywhere from $160 all the way up to $190 so I reckon I got a great deal. It probably helped that I saw noticed listing less than 3 hours after he listed it. I wasn't even planning on getting an HTC to begin with, but I saw how cheap this one was and thought I better snap it up before someone else got it.

[Q] Can I exchange my Silver HTC One for the Black[India]

Hey,
I bought the Silver HTC One on June 1st from TheMobileStore. After a month of usage I feel like the black looks better. Do you think that they will exchange it? And how much money do you think I will lose? I have all the stuff they gave in the box. And will they even exchange it?

Maybe the shop can answer your question, but I don't see why they would exchange it.

How can you think that they will exchange ur mobile for new one after one month of usage??
even though there's some fault in ur mobile..u cant claim DOA after 1 month

Keep the silver much better as in the long run on the black one the paint starts to come off.. Same problem like the Apple had with the s4.. Regarding repairs.. Your covered under warranty just take it to any HTC service center they will fix it on the spot.. Why loose money in an exchange...?
