Anyone else slightly regret not going with the s4? Not that I don't love this phone, it's just that there are some things that annoy me. Such as the back and home buttons not responding sometimes. Then there is the horrible vibration that has me turning off haptic feedback. Which sucks because I loved having it on with the s3.
Honestly the haptic feedback thing is what is killing me. This has been an issue since the OG EVO.

No regrets at all. I love this phone...but the buttons not being responsive is quite annoying.

...why?
I have no regrets with my purchase. TouchWiz can kiss the tip. Sense 5 is far superior.
Sense 5 is the only reason the phone is still in my hands. But on Thursday, who knows what I'll have. Maybe the S4.

One of the first things I turn off on a new phone is touch sounds and hepatic feedback. Not in the plan if you are looking for optimum battery charge life. This is just my humble opinion of course.

I've commented on this in a couple of other threads, but picking the One over the S4 was a no-brainer. The S4 is nice, it's definitely fast, but grip ergonomics are where it matters for my personal tastes. The One is far better designed I feel than the S4. Somewhere along the line Samsung forgot that cellular phones are used by human beings who typically have hands smaller than an NBA center. Also, thickness isn't even a competition here - the S4 is like a brick compared to the One.
The One, especially the black One, took the best design concepts from the iPhone 5 and improved upon them significantly. The phone feels right. I'm sure the S4 is great, but this phone is better for me.

I'm saying that unless my local Sprint store had the S4 in some kind of protector case that I didn't notice, which was possible because I put it down almost the moment I picked it up, I held a phone that was marked as the Galaxy S4 that was considerably thicker and heavier than the HTC One, and it didn't fit into my hand at all. I could easily be wrong - the difference was so clear holding the One that I was quickly turned off by the S4. Being $100 cheaper also helps. My apologies if I have incorrectly spoken on the dimensions of the S4. I'm just recalling what I personally experienced.

No apologies needed, but the S4 is definitely thinner and lighter than the HTC One, it is confirmed. Not only that but they are pretty much the same length or maybe the HTC One is a little taller. The S4 is wider though.

rather disappointing, only 1500 for what looks like double the thickness, you mean to tell me that 1500 is all they can fit in there?
besides for me personally how that thing works would render battery tweak pointless as the phone is convinced its "plugged in", so it would always be running at the max.
cool concept but seems way too big and bulky for my taste

you can turn the power on and off. so you can run the battery completely down and then turn it on. so it would run normally and then charge from the power suit.

Ok... so I missed around with the powerskin a bit over the last 2 days.
As far as function goes, it works really really well. It prioritizes the phone over itself when plugged in, has a button to handle checking charge and enabling/disabling the charging when not plugged in. It works pretty perfectly from a purely functional standpoint.
The feel of the powerskin is also really nice. the soft touch or whatever feels really good in your hand.
It's a little bigger than I expected (though I didn't really know what to expect) but it is not as big as some of the 3500 or so extended batteries I've had on past phones.
That said... I know most people just want the visual, so here are some pictures. The flash makes the powerskin look grey-ish, but it's not. It's actually just as dark black as the Nexus S case itself... it just isn't shiny.
Last two pictures...
Darn little to bulky for me.

No problem... I will say that the pictures make it look more giant than it feels when I hold it. Not sure that is helpful, but my opinion on it is that the size is a smaller con than the function and convenience is a pro.

I'll get you some in a bit. But imagine your device doubled. And also I just leave it on as soon as both my both and the poweskin are charged and then I leave the power skin on and I continue to use my phone one the powerskin then I drain my normal battery. Most useful way. The other was is to drain the nexus battery then charge the phone with the power skin. But you don't get much juice because you are sing the phone and charging at the same time. All in all. I managed to get a total of 3 days total without being with a charger. AMAZING! But I don't like the bulk much.

Ordered one for me and my wife's Galaxy s Blaze. Can't beat the price.
Well even though I wasn't too impressed with the GS3 from what I had seen I got caught up in the hype as it neared launch and ended up buying one. My battery cover didn't snap correctly and overall build quality was not impressive, so now I got the ATRIX HD.
Reasons I prefer the ATRIX HD..
-Build Quality and materials are far superior to the samsung (Gorilla Glass, Kevlar backing, metal buttons etc. it just feels put together so much better than my gs3)
-Design is more appealing (the oval blasé design of gs3 left much to be desired & I think the razor-esque design of the ATRIX HD with the more rounded corners is really nice. From the titanium bezel in the front to the all black casing that surrounds the Kevlar backing this thing just looks sweet!)
-On Screen Nav Buttons (I've always thought it was a mistake manufacturer's never adopted the futuristic buttonless design of the Gnex)
-Hot Swappable Micro SD (Love the side loading approach to memory cards)
-Dedicated HDMI port (Finally got a HDTV so its gonna be cool not having to use the stupid mhl adapters)
-Skin is much closer to stock ICS than the heavily skinned touchwiz(or any manufacturer skin for that matter) in fact there is no more motoblur just a few tasteful customizations(still use apex for that stock look and feel!)
I know there are some tradeoffs going with the ATRIX as opposed to the GS3 but it just feels like an overall nicer phone to me. Wasnt really loving the Baby blue color or the flimsy battery cover on the gs3. I'm happy with my choice but either way I gotta say AT&T is killing the game right now between the ATRIX HD, GS3, One X, Lumia 900 etc. theres something for everyone. :good:
Great post. I have a GS3 with a few days left in my remorse period. I like the GS 3 just fine but it's a bit underwhelming. The screen is actually quite dim and I need to keep it on max brightness to enjoy it at all. However camera and battery life are superb.
What trade offs are there? Early reviews say the camera is pretty lame and battery life so so. Can you comment?
bummer, phonearena just came down pretty hard on this phone.

Thanks! Yes I had my GS3's brightness turned to 100% the whole time too so I know what you're talking about. The camera on the GS3 was good but still wasn't good as my old iphone 4s. Battery is one area you might take a hit because ATRIX HD has bout -200mah but considering the screen is 4.5" it should be comparable. Much happier with the ATRIX HD though it has way better design and build.
Love the post man. I too exchanged my GSIII for the ATRIX. I love it. The battery has taken a hit coming from the GSIII and for some reason I can't get my micro sim to actually stay in the slot but other than that its great!

For me this phone is perfect. I practically got it for free and its an improvement over my Atrix 2.
Although I do think the SGS3 is a superior phone, I just wish it didnt feel & look so cheap. Plus I didnt like the UI.
I didnt like the HTC One X at all.
My rating would go down if the phone would have costed more than $100
It blows away other phones at the same price.
I keep the Galaxy S III for one day and swapped for the HD. I left IPhone and Atrix 2 was my first android. I have never trusted Samsung phones and was leary when I left store with it. I just think Motorola is on par with Apple with build and quality. I know they are almost as locked down as Apple products. But like I've read here, "my android DID what YOUR iPhone can't". Love that quote.

Some of those Benchmarks are inaccurate because some of those tests cannot run the GPU correctly on the Snapdragon S4.
Finally got some hands on time with this phone. Love the UI and it's fast as others have said. 3 things kept me from trading my GS 3.
1. The screen is noticeably smaller than the GS 3. It starts off with smaller dimensions and then the always on screen buttons cut into usable display size. It felt cramped.
2. It felt quite cheap in hand and lacked the premium feel of the galaxy and HOX. Even though the galaxy is plastic it feels more sexy and solid.
3. As many have pointed out the camera simply fails to measure up to the HOX or galaxy. I took identical pictures with all 3 phones in the store and the atrix lacked detail and sharpness. All 3 were on auto.
It's a great value with the dock but its worth the extra 100 to step up.
I dont want to start an argument but how does this feel cheap? It to me feels loads better than the s3 and a little better than the 1x which was better than the s3 the s3 i returned within 24 hours. It was nice but didn't put me in any jaw dropping moments. Guess you prefer plastic feel.

The thinness and contours and blue color of the S3 give it a more solid and premium feel IMO. A little more weigh because of the large battery helps in this regard. This is admittedly subjective.

I compared the outdoor readability and general brightness comparing the s3 and hd side by side and the hd on easily. Of course the hd takes a battery hit bc the screen can get so bright. The only area screen wise that the s3 wins on is the darker blacks but I could care less about that. The hd is a very solid phone, i love it. Im gonna get pissed though if at&t releases an hd maxx with a bigger battery in time for Christmas.

Sadly, I was not impressed at all with the SGS III - too cheap feeling with a clear-coat that shows every fingerprint. Hardware-wise it's awesome, but design-wise I do not like it - maybe if it came in black or dark grey with a rubbery coating. I don't want a large, slick phone. For $150 less, I picked up the Atrix HD and I'm fairly happy with it so far, just hoping to find a way to improve battery life.

It's good that there is no headset because it means costs can be reduced. besides the headphones they include are normally bad so I feel it's for the best.

The headphones weren't that bad IMO if you just pushed the rubber part deeper into your ear (the way they should be )
On my GNex and my old S3 I got way more quality than I expected.

Yeah black was the only option. I was confusing myself with the ones they offer through their website. My edge is white but it should look good. I'm interested to test out NFC with it too.
Is the offer still available for testers? Link if possible?

Getting mine in tomorrow.... cant wait to test it out. We'll see how "slim" it is.
Initial pictures. One thing I noticed off the bat was it doesn't sit flush on the edges where the volume buttons are and the sound seems to be extremely muffled.

Dam that just ruins the whole look of the s6/edge. Lol so ugly.
What I noticed about this case also is the bottom edge sits really close to the home button. If you put your thumb flat it dosent even touch the home button. You literally have to go at it at an angle. Feels very plasticy and makes the edge look so ugly

Correct. Initial impression is not very good. Feels cheap, charges very slow, doesn't fit right, muffles sound. And I had to remove my front and side skins to get this thing on thinking I might use it for awhile...

That's the nail in the coffin for me then. I'm going after their 20000mah 3.0A charger with debrand stickers (or a case maybe)
Why would anyone ruin their beautiful phone with this fugly monstrosity. Why!

free and to provide a review........
This kind of case with extended battery might be a hot thing few years ago, but now with all these new technology like power bank, wireless charging, new fast charging from Qualcomm in both wall and car charger. makes these old thing obsolete.
Pair this with S6 Edge, that's even a bigger sin by itself.

I agree but i also think its time for phone makers to start thinking more of new battery technology and less processor and new designs. However. .. my opinion is they will do away with big bulky phones, go with the new flexible screen and cloud service. Same with laptops and desktops.
i forgot to hit one day shipping when i got my code and mine comes Thursday.
i have purchased other items from them in the past and been very happy and not reading reviews here at all yet so i dont go in looking for stuff and its a clean slate in my head
