iOS 7 looks quite pretty.

Though nothing will sway me from the One.
[HTC Rezound] Dark Jedi:
Heard on the radio apple sales are so bad that apple is offering a $200 credit when people trades in their iPhone 4 or 4s for an iPhone 5.guess it was jobs that made apple profitable and not the devices themselves. Lose your pitch man and everything goes downhill for ya.
[HTC Rezound] GrayBoltWolf:
Wow, the iPhone has a quick setting to turn on the flashlight from any app!

Apple is really moving up in the world!
[HTC Rezound] AshtonTS:
I agree. If iOS had a file manager/downloading files without a jailbreak, I'd honestly buy an iPhone in a heartbeat
[HTC Rezound] Insidious:
I still wouldn't but the design is definitely one of the premiere user interface schemes. It really looks incredible. I give Apple a hat tip.
[HTC Rezound] antp121:
I'm getting an iPhone. I need a phone I can't brick...that easily.
[HTC Rezound] AshtonTS:
I think I'm going to try to get an iPhone too
[HTC Rezound] antp121:
I'm serious. Apple always had the nice looking hardware and now the software is finally catching up. Kinda sad it took 7 versions for iOS to get a major overhaul though, well overdue.
[HTC Rezound] AshtonTS:
I don't know if its because I have a cold or what, but I am so digging the UI of iOS 7. Its like just perfect. I just need to find a way to convince my mom to buy an iPhone or trade my nexus 4...
[HTC Rezound] antp121:
I think I might just get the iPhone 5s/6 whenever it might come out, probably coinciding with the iOS 7 release. I hope it gets nfc. That would make it an auto-buy imo.
[HTC Rezound] GrayBoltWolf:
This is XDA, right?
[HTC Rezound] SirSigma:
Did you guys catch E3 today?

If you didn't, let me sum it up.

Microsoft dug their own grave and jumped into it, and Sony pissed all over the tombstone. Sony seriously won this year.

I know I'm getting a PS4, and I'm definitely skipping on the Xbox One.
[HTC Rezound] tehknics:
I was traveling so I had to catch up... You're right tho! I've always been a PS guy so I'm glad things went so well for them. Going second sure paid off!
[HTC Rezound] yojoe600:
im a ps guy as well and although ive had both and I think the xbox one is going to fail hard
[HTC Rezound] SirSigma:
Sony pretty much called Microsoft out on their bullshit this time around by specifically mentioning that the system would allow used games the same way it always has been on PS3. The moment they mentioned it, the entire audience exploded into cheers. It's also priced 100 dollars LESS than the Xbox One and packs more power, so it's a real no-brainer.

Oh, and Sony even knows they ass fucked Microsoft. Check out this new promo they released.

Just so you can get siri 2.0?
[HTC Rezound] ijustwantmydock:
Those games are boring and way too played out. For a Halo replacer get destiny or titanfall. For Gears Of War, they haven't even announced a new one so ehh.
[HTC Rezound] Dark Jedi:

[HTC Rezound] wlmeng11:
So the Mac Pro no longer looks like a cheese grater...

Now it's a garbage can.
[HTC Rezound] GrayBoltWolf:
I was just going to say that.

Professionals are going to go PC now. No user accessible parts inside + no CD drive means every professional is going to hate it.
[HTC Rezound] ijustwantmydock:
But you have thunderbolt ports. It's still a joke, looks stupid, is impractical, and apple doing something just to say they innovate. Windows 8 isn't necessarily the best for pros either, so I think hackintosh's will become much more prevalent with the pros.
[HTC Rezound] GrayBoltWolf:
Yeah, it has a million thunderbolt ports, but why would you spend $200 for an external thunderbolt HDD when you can get a 1 tb HDD for $60?

Hackintoshes will never become popular among the pros, they just have too many problems and can't use near the full power of the hardware.

And even things like the graphics. You can't change the graphics card to suit your needs. What if you want more power? Too bad.
[HTC Rezound] wlmeng11:
It does have a neat cooling system, but I don't think that's a feature most graphics professionals care much about...

But the part that will impress is its ability to render 4k video while hooked up to 3 4k monitors. That will surely impress professionals. Plus that newer ssd type technology, dual GPUs and up to 12 cores can't hurt lol
[HTC Rezound] GrayBoltWolf:
It's nice but impractical for professionals.
[HTC Rezound] antp121:
Not really. Most people that consider themselves "professionals" are actually hipsters that buy anything with an apple logo so they are used to no expandable memory, etc. Its just the norm. Not that many people had Mac pros to begin with
[HTC Rezound] wlmeng11:
PCIe solid states have been around for quite a while.

The only thing that this has over any other workstation is that it's REALLY small, but not many people care about that.

And since it's a cylinder, you can't rack mount it, or at least stack them.
[HTC Rezound] Obaterista93:
I have not. I take it I should?
[HTC Rezound] winged mantis:
Yeah. It's a very difficult game, but still fun
[HTC Rezound] Dark Jedi:
It is challenging isn't it. I am dissapointed with the latest gears. As it starts to get good the game ends. Just seems to be a filler game.
[HTC Rezound] BreatheALittle:
If you're mainly wanting the iPhone for the UI appearance, take a look at this:

Does anyone know a GSM phone with a screen no bigger than 4.3" with good battery life and running stock(ish) Android?

(A physical keyboard would be nice, but that's probably stretching it.)

Edit: the priority is this:

1. Good battery life

2. 4.3" screen (at least definitely less than 5")

3. Stock android (at least Jellybean)

4. Keyboard

5. SD card

I have a feeling that this doesn't exist, and that the closest thing would be the Nexus 4.

[HTC Rezound] wlmeng11:

My Rezound is fubar'd, and I'm probably switching to GSM.

And I definitely want battery life longer than the Rezound.
[HTC Rezound] GrayBoltWolf:
Extended battery.

[HTC Rezound] wlmeng11:
Doesn't fit Ballistic case, and all the Rezound extended battery cases suck.

Anyway, still fubar'd.
[HTC Rezound] Dark Jedi:
Dom was cold blooded put a bullet in his wife's head? Cole is the bomb though. He is so funny on this game.
[HTC Rezound] GrayBoltWolf:
The OEM extended battery case works really well. I am using it now.
[HTC Rezound] Obaterista93:
But you know he still loved her. He had no will to live without her.
[HTC Rezound] Dark Jedi:
Sorry I hated Dom as I had to always play as Dom. My cousin always was Marcus. So I was happy when he died. I said hell yeah no more playing dom lol. Latest gear Cole was player 2 and cousin can't stand Baird Lol. I run around with the retro lancer yelling whooo here comes the Cole train lol.
[HTC Rezound] shrike1978:
I have no idea what you're talking about, but that made me LOL.
[HTC Rezound] wlmeng11:

By the time my upgrade hits, HTC one will be on verizon. Gs4 or one?
[HTC Rezound] Insidious:
One. Compared both and the S4 is laggy and Touchwiz is disgusting.
[HTC Rezound] brock350:
But you probably won't ever get any updates from HTC.
[HTC Rezound] GrayBoltWolf:
All of us Rezound people manage.
[HTC Rezound] yojoe600:
I dont know when I will ever update since I dont want to lose unlimited data :(
[HTC Rezound] wlmeng11:
...which is not many people
[HTC Rezound] GrayBoltWolf:
And why do you think I live on XDA?
[HTC Rezound] Dark Jedi:
Unless you own a Google nexus phone you don't get many update no matter who the maker is. I remember the HTC thunderbolt got more updates than the samsung droid charge. Heck there for awhile the no one knew if it was going to get GB. It changed every month.
[HTC Rezound] tehknics:
At least we generally have the option to root whatever device we have. Kinda makes the whole update thing not so important (at least to me anyways).
[HTC Rezound] wlmeng11:
Recommendations:

Verizon contract ends in September

Nexus 4 on Straight Talk, Razr Maxx HD, or Razr M?

Currently leaning towards Nexus.

The lack of expandable storage is still stupid, but at least I usually carry my laptop, so that's not too much of an issue anymore.

Prefer Ballistic SG cases, available for Nexus and Razr M, but not Razr Maxx HD.

Battery life: as long as it's not the Rezound or Thunderbolt :p

Supposedly the Nexus 4 has decent battery life, and lasts a whole day without media, so that should be good enough.

Camera: should be fast (as in startup and shutter)

Supposedly the Razr HD has a mediocre camera, not sure about the others.

As far as specs, I don't care about games, but care about browsing.

Apparently, the Nexus 4 renders webpages almost as fast as the iPhone 5 (and the iPhone 5 is pretty damn fast). Haven't seen the others.
[HTC Rezound] ijustwantmydock:
I like my RAZR HD, but I don't know if in your situation it's the best call. The RAZR M has an atrocious screen, the RAZR HDs being a bit better but no the greatest. The RAZRs being Verizon phones is also an extra hassle. The downsides of the Nexus seem to be battery and no expandable memory, the RAZR HD has an adequate battery for me even when I went through 2+ Rezound batteries a day. The nexus being cheaper and I unlocked to begin with seem to make it a better fit for you. Oh I just remembered that the Nexus 4s camera is pretty meh too, man I really don't know what you should go with.

TLDR: Rambling and concluding that I don't know what you should get.
[HTC Rezound] AshtonTS:
You have no life?
[HTC Rezound] GrayBoltWolf:
Obviously. I live on my computer.

From developing, to Photoshop, to managing my Minecraft server, to gaming. I do it all.
[HTC Rezound] AshtonTS:
Get the Nexus. Its great and I love it.
[HTC Rezound] wlmeng11:
So after leaving my laptop outside for about half an hour to do an operation, my CPU fan was 0 rpm (off), and the CPU temperature was 36 celcius. The power draw was also very low, at around 8-9 watts (usually 11).

At first, I thought the fan was broken, but it would be unlikely for the temperature sensor to also be broken, and it still read 36.

So I opened a game, and then the temperature went up and the fan turned on.

Unfortunately, it wouldn't go back down to 36 celcius once it warmed up.

TL;DR

Put your computer in the refridgerator and watch magic happen.
[HTC Rezound] Obaterista93:
I suppose the refrigerator is one way to cool your computer. I've heard of water and even oil cooling, but refrigerator is a new one.
[HTC Rezound] Dark Jedi:
My old thunderbolt to keep it from overheating from charging and tethering at the same time. I placed it in my ac unit at my apt. It keeps it quite cool.

My company switched over to shared data today... :'(
[HTC Rezound] SynisterWolf:
ouch
[HTC Rezound] yojoe600:
thats never fun...
[HTC Rezound] tehknics:
Yah.... Oh well eh. Supposidly the company is gonna save a bunch, so that's good. Now everyone has access to a hotspot. Somehow I had 19gb last cycle. Not sure how that happened but I'll have to scale down lol
[HTC Rezound] SynisterWolf:
how much data are they allowing you to use personally?

/side note my work removed all the old nexus repeaters and added sprint. sprint is looking better than ever for me now that they have full reception inside the plant like my vzw had since day one. :fingers-crossed:
[HTC Rezound] tehknics:
There never really has been any separation between the two luckily. They set us to 2gb each now with some "extra" in case someone spills over. I'm curious to sew how it all turns out. I'm still not sure how I used 19gb tho.

U thinkin of switching to sprint?
[HTC Rezound] Dark Jedi:
2 gig? Might as well not even have a data plan.
[HTC Rezound] SynisterWolf:
yeah, i need unlimited data. i use way too much to change to a tier plan. If VZW doesn't bring it back first quarter of next year i will be saying good bye. :/
[HTC Rezound] GrayBoltWolf:
I barely hit 1 GB out of my 4 GB cap.
[HTC Rezound] tehknics:
I hear ya there. It was just a move to save some $$ for the company. Most of our employees really don't use much data so for the majority it makes sense, just not for me lol.

Makes complete sense! I'd throw my wife on a different carrier if I could get the bill down. Right bow she just has an old flip phone w/o data.
[HTC Rezound] SynisterWolf:
i use on average 1 to 2 gb a day when i'm at work with pandora playing all day and just checking emails and surfing the web. we don't have wifi on my side of the plant and i spend most of my day here. about 10 hour or so plus the drive in and to home.
[HTC Rezound] tehknics:
Dang, so how much do you end up using a month?
[HTC Rezound] Dark Jedi:
Last I heard I have used 146 gig in a month.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uqszKFsaBpo&feature=youtube_gdata_player
[HTC Rezound] pmania:
We switched to shared data and bill was cut in half. Just use WiFi more and its all good
[HTC Rezound] zetsumeikuro:
On a single line plan there is no way this change would be beneficial. Especially since I get % off on the data plan and monthly access charge. I rely on mobile data to stream music and videos as I work graveyard. But I suppose for families/small companies that don't use much data and can save money by switching more power to them.
[HTC Rezound] SynisterWolf:
I wish we did have wifi more where i work or else i would keep vzw.
[HTC Rezound] platinumrims:
I'd get a GS4... Screw the 1... Lame battery life and no SD card. Not to mention no updates and it doesn't even come with 4.2.2
[HTC Rezound] SirSigma:
1. The battery life on the HTC One is incredible when you get 4.2.2 installed on it (because why would you not want a rooted phone?). I get around 3 days on a single charge with Android Revolution HD installed.

2. Go for the 64GB option. It's so much storage that you have little to complain about unless you really just like having a library of blu ray quality movies on your phone. There's no 16GB variant to waste your time, either.

3. No updates and no 4.2.2? See reason one.

There's only like two or three reasons I can think of to get a GS4 over an HTC One, in all honesty.
[HTC Rezound] SynisterWolf:
Agreed when you dont have the SD you wont miss it. The battery is amazing even with sense on it. you dont even need root, 4.2.2 will be out soon with the options to go AOSP
[HTC Rezound] SynisterWolf:
good news, Microsoft wants to make you happy. http://t.co/un1sNfUyUp
[HTC Rezound] Obaterista93:
Because we didn't see that coming a mile away. And they say it's because they care about our opinions and feedback... No. You care about money. And without changing anything the PS4 was going to destroy you.
[HTC Rezound] GrayBoltWolf:
You quoted somebody. That just ruined it.
[HTC Rezound] SynisterWolf:
hummm O.o
[HTC Rezound] platinumrims:
All those reasons you listed are just better reasons to get a GS4... Because you don't have to do any of that to get anything extra out of it lol. And you get even more if you decide hack it. I don't keep my music on my phone or my photos I just stream everything. And I don't want what I have stuck on a 1 without a computer to transfer it. Btw I have more than 64 gigs of music alone. Never mind movies or bootlegs or roms or nandroids. Limitations. The one isn't even on V yet... I doubt very seriously I could get 3 days on a One even with minor use. The one I used for a day didn't last the whole day. My rez with an extended battery doesn't even last me 2 days.
[HTC Rezound] tehknics:
Did that Xbox One "oops" speech make anyone want to get one now, or did they just make it worse?
[HTC Rezound] pmania:
Feels good to have s-off on this phone again :D
[HTC Rezound] shrike1978:
They haven't mentioned removing the always on Kinect thing, and that's my biggest gripe with the console.
[HTC Rezound] GrayBoltWolf:
When they say "oops! Sorry" I hate it even more.

A half apology isn't going to cut it.

I picked up Skyrim again last night and the graphics are amazing. Compared to BO2.

I just enjoying scrolling through all of the mods in the steam workshop.
[HTC Rezound] shrike1978:
I was just looking at Skyrim mods last night. Someone made a two-handed axe that looks like a Fender Telecaster. I laughed for a while at that one.
[HTC Rezound] GrayBoltWolf:
I think we can sum up E3 and all gaming with this simple statement:

PC gaming FTW.
[HTC Rezound] SirSigma:
You're acting like the One is an iPhone or something. How are you stuck with nothing to transfer it to your computer if it's an Android phone just like the S4? Is it too hard to use Dropbox or connect a USB?

In fact, there's only a few reasons I can think of where I'd want an S4. I'll list them right now.

1. You absolutely NEED TouchWiz because you've grown to like it so much compared to other UIs or vanilla Android.

2. You want marginally (as in barely) better battery life than the HTC One assuming you will not root it.

3. You really want to grow room with an SD card (in your case, since you stream everything, why?)

4. You want a replaceable battery (see reason 2).

5. You prefer plastic to aluminum for whatever reason.

6. Wireless charging and the smart cover are major features to you.

If none of these apply to you, get an HTC One instead. If any of these really do apply to you, then you honestly are better off with a GS4.

Oh, and don't even hold your breath for the One to be any good on Verizon. I'm sure the delay is because Verizon is gimping it down and rebranding it. If you actually want a One, you have to jump carriers.
[HTC Rezound] werdna87:
One to Verizon IS COMING. and it is EXACTLY the same phone. don't give out false info :P
[HTC Rezound] ijustwantmydock:
Yeah, they already announced that the One was coming and people would pissed if it was different.
[HTC Rezound] werdna87:
Also. the moto X is on its way...
[HTC Rezound] platinumrims:
Lol what I'm saying is that I'd have to transfer everything off my SD card and into the one... Instead of just popping my SD card in. Honestly though, neither really impress me at all. At least the S4 has "cool" features (that you lose without wiz), most of which are completely useless to me. (lol at air gestures..). Plus I'm not convinced that HTC has changed (and I think sense 5 is worse than 4) .

The only thing in my eyes that the 1 has over the S4 is the exterior. I think that it looks sexy as hell in black. I put cases on my phones so it's not like it even really matters I guess. I don't care for touchwiz or sense. I'm hoping the vanilla rom will be available for both in some form. But I think the 1 loses a lot of camera stuff with it :-\
[HTC Rezound] SynisterWolf:
pic or gtfo.

;)
[HTC Rezound] werdna87:
pic would be boring cause its the same phone :P
[HTC Rezound] SynisterWolf:
says you, but verizon is known to take something that is AMAZING and add "droid" to the end of it.

if phone = amazing == VZW will mess it up.
[HTC Rezound] GrayBoltWolf:
The new HTC OneDroid.
[HTC Rezound] Dark Jedi:
Don't you mean they add droid at the beginning of it? Most droid phones wasn't bad
