10 days, not bad: http://www.androidpolice.com/2013/08/02 ... d-htc-one/

That said, the HTC (at least the one I have) seems to be relatively tricky to root, if you're into that sort of game. *shrug*

I've dropped my S3 repeatedly, had it soaked in crude oil, saltwater, dirt, etc. and it still works just fine too. Friend of mine dropped his HTC and cracked the screen. It's all relative.

Relative to what?! Let's not be vague. This is serious shit.

friend sold me her brand new galaxy s3 for $50. First smart phone ever. Unfortunately, won't work with my phone provider, mobilicity (i've rooted and unlocked, but the carrier frequencies aren't supported), but works great for other things. Took me a while to learn how to get cyanogenmod going

Close contest. Played around with htc one and note 2 the other day and I like the note's interface better...

HTC is releasing the Desire 500 (dumb name) as entry level phone for just €249. Interesting option for me, as it's equipped with a 4.3" screen (not too big) and a quad core 1.2GHz CPU (more than fast enough). The only possible dealbreaker is the 800x480 display resolution. Why not put a 720p display in there? Or at the very least 960x540.

Don't talk about poor ppl phones in this thread please...k thx...

480p?

hahaa

We just came to know that Samsung has won a patent for its next generation smartphone with steel body. So, hold your fingers, we can see Samsung Galaxy S5 with steel body.
