not with that horrible camera lol.

I played with it...got some good things going for it...but a few things that are unnacceptable to me. I told myself my next phone HAS to have a real dope camera...i was already to cop the htc...........then i peeped that camera and was highly disapointed smh.

Do you review cellphones my good man :whistle:
naw i just buy alot of them. I'm thinking about starting a review site though because it seems like im always giving reviews on my purchases. The HTC One M8 is probably the best Android availible for Tmobile users right now. I admittedly haven't used the LG3 though so that may be superior.

Loving my surface pro 3 though. Everyone that sees it is very impressed.

Used an S5 for the past month coming from my 5s. The screen was nice, but that was about it. The performance of the UI was usually not very good. Little lags here and there made for a bad experience. The One is fast as shyt and the UI feels a lot more refined...

Don't get me wrong, the phone is no slouch, but its fukkin 2014 and it has a quad core processor yet the performance was not even really as good as my old Galaxy S2 (UI wise)
highly disagree with this....ive had the s2/s3/note4/ and the S5 right now....the s5 performs MUCH better than the g3 let alone the gs2...yall dudes be killing me when i read things like this....it just shows people either dont remember how well phones performed when they had it....or just straight up lie to support their purchase lol smh.

Htc one is definately fast when it comes to opening up apps...ill give it that. Its a little more snappier when it comes to that specific thing in comparison to my s5...overrall though..they are BOTH fast imo. Where the htc one gets smashed though is CAMERA.....SCREEN...and sd card slot storage and battery....both perform smooth and get the job done in many areas.

Also a small thing i noticed...the default web browser on the s5 has better touch to scroll performance.

Wont lie though...before i even tried the s5 i was all in about to cop a htc until i realized the camera wasnt where i needed it to be.

Im almost considering trading my 15 in Retina (plus some cash from them) for this. The 15in is kinda too big and heavy...but I enjoy the added screen real estate. Dunno

Been wanting that M8, love the build/aluminum body - but the consistent negative camera reviews kinda scared me off a bit. Decided to hold out to see how that LG G3 ends up.

See, youre wrong too many times in this paragraph.
1. The S2 with regards to opening apps and switching between them was much better. The S2 was the last Galaxy not to have every feature in the book thrown at it. It was a superbly fast and SMOOTH phone. (The Exynos version) The S2 performs everyday tasks better than the S3 as well. (QUALCOMM version)
2. The HTC has a SD card slot and comes with 32GB onboard vs the paltry 16 of the S5
3. The battery life of this One is better than the S5. This is signified by the times where the S5 was often hot to the touch, yet this has not happened on the One. Also, I usually have to charge the S5 twice a day depending on how much ive used it. The One? Not so much
4. The S5 had HORRID touch scroll performance. I was extra sensitive to this due to the fact that I came from the 5S, which has the best touchscreen latency of all smartphones (or among the best). This is one of the main things that turned me off the phone. Why the hell is the phone quad core and still lagging sometimes when I scroll? Also, when I say lag, I mean the response time between swiping and the scroll action taking place.
5. The screen is relative. That shyt is too big to me. It does have awesome colors though

:dwillhuh:

This is disturbing and news to me. I had no idea this phone was being scrapped. If this phone doesn't come out, i'm going to be fukking furious!:sadcam:

Seriously i'm incesnsed. I'm going to strongly consider buying the new iphone if this cancellation news is true. I'm utterly sick right now.
