So Lefty just got himself an Android phone

[lefty]

OK just got myself an HTC One S



:D

(my dad old's iPhone 3G is dying, so I'm giving the iPhone 4; I was going to get him an Android phone - but he prefers Apple, so... )


I paid nothing :hat- used my Fido rewards $$$$$ :hat




Beast TBH



Will report later



Go ahead, Hater, shit on me

[ElNono]

What's a Fido reward? Sounds like dog food...

[redzero]

The signal in Algeria must be terrible.

Review, NOW.

[lefty]

Review, NOW.
Review: buy it NOW



:lol




The One S is super thin a light, fits perfectly in my little girl hand; good grip too, that thing is not slippery either

Ice Cream Sandwich runs smoothly on that thing, no lag so far

I cant comment on HTC Sense software, since it's my 1st Android phone, but it's really well integrated in ICS; on teh internetz, they say that this version of Sense is a huge improvement over the older versions



Screen and Camera:

The screen is really nice, although I think the iPhone 4 screen is better - but not by a long shot

8 mp camera is great

Sound : great; the "audio beats" may seem gimmicky, but it's really high quality stuff

Speed: really fast; in fact, tests show it's faster than Tegra 3
Whatever that means :lol

Multistaking: quite good

Widget management screen: really well done; not messy at all

The bad:

- no 32 gb model, and no expendable memory either; I may have to root the phone in order to remove stock bloatware and free memory space
- no removable battery



Oh, and as in any Android device, super customizable, everything is integrated, fuck stock iOS and iTunes, blablabla, etc etc



So yeah

Did you have to re-up your contract? What does your plan look like

[lefty]

Did you have to re-up your contract? What does your plan look like

Yes I did

I now have a better voice/messaging plan for 30$, which is what I used to pay for a lesser plan:
200 min vs 100
Unlimited SMS from Canada to Canada/international vs nada unlimited before
And of couse, unlimited min w/e and evening (nothing changed here)

Data plan : 500 gig

Ah I see. 500mb i assume you meant. I have a hardware upgrade but I don't want a shitty ass contract, I pay too little now :lol

[leemajors]

How much does it run you a month up there? I am just glad as hell I have a family plan with 3 other ppl on it.

[lefty]

Around 60-70$

[resistanze]

I have a similar plan, originally paid $65/month. Called in to 'cancel' and got it knocked down to $42/month. I doubt they'll do that again if I re-up.

[xellos88330]

Is it left handed?

[leemajors]

Around 60-70$

that's not too bad. I pay around 60 with my 20% discount, unlimited messaging, "unlimited" grandfathered iPhone data, and more minutes than I can use. most people I know with smartphones pay at least $80 unless they are on a shared plan.

[DMC]

I passed on the HTC for the Motorola Photon 4G.

Not bad

Yeah; when I get a higher paying job, I'll buy phones outright

You should see what the French company aptly named "Free" offers

A friend of mine who lives in France has this:

15 Euros/month for Fibe internet
20 Euros/month for his smartphone unlimited


Fuck North America :lol

[sinok]

N
15 Euros/month for Fibe internet
20 Euros/month for his smartphone unlimited



Free goes even further for their internet clients.
They get the unlimitedd mobile plan for 16€ a month (with a 3Gig data cap, once reached, the speed is supposed to drop, but never went over it, actually).

But I'm a good guy :depressed

[Drachen]

The the answer to your question about being accepted is NO.....NO!!!

[Drachen]

nah, just kidding. Cool that you like the phone.

[Libri]

I'm also thinking about switching. I have a 3GS but the Samsung Galaxy Note has caught my attention.

[leemajors]

I would hold off a few months just to see:

A. What Apple might have coming

B. What Android manufacturers come out with around the same time

[lefty]

Thanks :tu

The Note is huge
Look for something smaller

yeah, I think the note 2 and the nexus 4 shouldn't be too far down the road.

As suggested I'm going to wait and see what comes out.
