It will interesting to see if HTC will provide access to the bootloader.
Honestly, if you root this device, it will be a decent phone. It has ver similar specs to the sensation, and for the price a rooted version will get you by for awhile.
Bootloader unlock? You bet, right through HTCDev. Now we wait for a custom recovery and root.

Thank god someone else actually had this phone other than me now. Got mine yesterday and you're the only other person I've seen post that has one.

I really hope this phone does well. I like the Note 2 and DNA, but heaven forbid if all the "cool" phones have to be the encroaching tablet size territory. With a custom recovery and root, I am seriously contemplating having the First be my main driver and sell of the Note 2 and Optimus G.
I got it because I had a nexus 4 but I was always shuffling it around because of the size plus the battery is garbage. This is so easy to use one handed and the battery lasts about 7 hours of screen on which is almost double what I got on the nexus. I just want root the stock ROM is working fine for me and I surprisingly like Facebook home so far and I didn't really use Facebook much before.

This strikes me as an ideal phone for CyanogenMod. If audio quality reviews come back positive, I might just buy.

Hey there guys! I'm looking forward to the next device that google will make in the future.
Google Nexus Camera, who do you want to make for it? And tell the specs and price that you want.
Google is watching us here. =)
what?

Yes this is horrible, this idea.
First of all: Google could care less about what we think....

A better camera on my phone is welcome but not necessary for me. Last time I was going to use my CyberShot I brought it with me to a wedding and then used my phone instead. I definitely wont be buying another stand alone point and shoot, even if it was a Nexus.
If you think that this is the dumbest thread ever... Watch out...Google will make one. They are now in talks with Panasonic. We'll see
Man I just made an epic noob move. I hit the wrong button We need an unthanks button. I'll go watch paint dry now, that's pretty interesting.
I'm ssoooo interreeessstedddd....

Well considering that Samsung makes the Galaxy Camera, maybe Samsung can re-brand the Galaxy Camera as a Nexus Camera with Vanilla Android running on it (just like they make phones with both TW and the Nexii phones).

Actually google is working with canon on a full frame mirrorless camera for $200
So I can write whatever I want here?
I just bought a Rii Handheld keyboard (RII-518), and I am very happy with it.
It looks like this:

only smaller than you think, and it was only 35 dollars from this site: http://dx.com/p/mini-handheld-rechargeable-bluetooth-wireless-keyboard-93118
It pairs beautifully, and the only think I don't like about it is that it doesn't work right away when you turn it on. You sort of have to push a few buttons, and then change apps - but then it works fine. I usually just turn it on when I start using it, and then don't turn it off until I put the tablet away for the night.
Anyway, try it if you think it's for you.
Tempted to buy this. One of those items I would really like to test drive before I commit though. I have would be using it for note taking in class probably. Thoughts?
Looks nice n compact..
I've got one of the diNovo mini's.
http://www.amazon.com/Logitech-920-000594-diNovo-Mini-Keyboard/dp/B0011FOOI2
Works well, and you have mouse control as well with the trackpad on the right.
I got this one and really like it
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B004T0QLLO/ref=oh_details_o03_s00_i01
Both of those are rechargeable? And have you tried to do any extensive note taking?
Seems way over priced, have seen similar ones for 10$ shipped on ebay, Chinese ones
Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk 2
Build quality on the cheap Chinese ones can be very poor though, waste of $10 if you get it and the keys don't work properly.
Well, I won't say the Rii's quality is comparable to an old IBM Model M keyboard, but it certainly works! Well worth the money IMO.
Android 4.3 should have been revealed earlier in the year, and the last few months should have been betas for Nexus devices, available as full ROM images.
Result: Less running dodgy leaks, more stable end code, happier techy end users.
Apple do it to great effect, and I feel Google are missing a trick here.

I think the way Google sees it is this: from the release of a new version (nexus devices) until the release from OEM's (Samsung, HTC, Sony, LG etc) it is kinda like open beta, where a large userbase uses the new OS (bug smashing) and developers catch up with the new API. Maybe this is one reason nexus devices are somewhat considered developer phones.
You tell them Peter! Cuz you so crazy like that....

You get NOTHING! Good DAY Sir!
Just found this . As always guys please take this with a grain of salt, who knows if the sources are reliable or not but it's always great to have some hope it's coming sooner rather than later.
http://www.geeksnack.com/2015/05/22...llipop-update-incoming-in-the-next-two-weeks/
The article is full of mistakes so it is unlikely to be true. Considering Samsung's history of delivering late updates we will probably wait forever
Sounds too good to be true, and we all know how that goes
according to this article we already have 5.0.2!! oh wait... we kind of... don't!
5.1 update possible for tmobile edition, but only after they release the note 5. Even than they'll make us wait a few more months because cmon there tmobile and they take forever.

I have high hopes but low expectations. Luckily 5.01 has been running fairly smoothly for me with AT&T. (knock on wood)
I am very excited. I really think it's a special phone, at least from a first glance. The phones that Samsung, Apple, LG, and others put out year after year are all.. carbon copies of one another. I always choose an outsider if I have the option for anything outside of the mainstream - you know, especially if everyone has it.
I had HTC m8 when Samsung ruled Android all alone. Than I opted for OnePlus when I broke my HTC.. because, why not right? Cheap, and as good as the twice as expensive ones.
Anyway!!
That was probably the main reason I decided to go with Pixel. On top of guarantee of getting new Android OS probably before anyone else, I also like the lack of a company skin, and bloatware. I mean root does take care of that but you shouldn't need to root to get rid of apps from a device that you OWN.
When I get it, hoping the order process goes without a hitch, I will write my first impressions here.

I didn't spend much time on the forum but from a few reviews I read.. it seems pretty mixed. Some hate it, others love it. Care to enlighten me, please?
Greatly appreciate any effort to that question..
