[HTC One S] Terminator19:
Firstly ignore the troll/hater known as the pathetic wilcoholic, all he does is post the exact same thing every 2 months and goes on about the iphone.

And always ignores my question, if he hates the phone so much then why doesn't he sell it and buy his iphone? Guessing he hasn't been a good boy so his parents won't buy him it.....

Just look at his previous posts, don't waste time on him :)

The battery being better??? The one S is far better than the galaxy nexus regardless of the kernel etc. being used, the S4 chipset is far more power efficient, the screen hasn't got a 720P res. and the screen is smaller and more power efficient, the galaxy nexus battery is only slightly bigger so that isn't going to make up for the superior CPU chipset for PE etc. Haven't seen any galaxy nexus owner that can get the same battery life of the one S (1-2 days with 4-5 hours on screen and medium sort of usage i.e. wifi on all the time, texting, phone calls, browsing etc.) Unless you have the bigger battery, in which case it only just about matches the S then, doesn't beat it and are you comparing your tweaked/custom kernel nexus to a stock one S? If so, then it isn't exactly a fair comparison as you could achieve even better battery life on the S by doing the same.

And if you want the complete stock look then you can achieve it mostly, you do realise we have a play market that has almost every app you could want, be it the stock gallery, stock browser, stock calculator, stock SMS and dialer, nova/apex launcher to achieve the stock android homescreen layout and widget locker to achieve the stock android lock screen. Of course changing the themes isn't going to make the phone look like ICS/JB, it is only themes for sense.

The screen isn't much bigger either, wider yes, by much no, taller, no, due to the on screen buttons taking up so much screen estate, sure you can get around this by rooting and flashing a tweak.

And as I said before, the one S screen is much better in sun light, whites are a lot whiter too.

What you have said about the icons and homescreens is completely stupid as you can do this on any android phone there is by simply installing nova or apex launcher, you don't need to be rooted etc.

Lol, sorry but what a stupid conclusion that is "The HTC is great for girlfriends or moms or sisters, I would pick it for them" Please explain further?

Aside from the screen res., storage and NFC, what do all these other "manly" phones have over the S? The camera is one of the best there is as well as audio quality (on the same level as the GS 3 etc.), performance (the best I have experienced on an android phone yet, GS3 and note II, X etc. just feel slow in comparison on the whole when carrying out some tasks) and most importantly the build/perceived quality is without a doubt the best there is for an android phone. Screen is great, best calibration settings there is for SAMOLED, sure you can change it on some phones, but you have to root etc. in order to do that.

And this is backed up by pretty much every expert review and the majority of user opinions.

Granted people will prefer the nexus for certain reasons and I am not objecting to that but you can't say that the nexus is the superior phone when it really isn't, the only advantages of it over the one S is the 720P res, NFC, nexus device so great support etc. and a far better NLED.

The only phones to truly beat the one S overall is the GS 3, note II, RAZR HD/MAXX and the XL/X+.

Dialer - can't find this one anymore, was called ICS dailer+ iirc, besides ex dialer with the black ICS theme is far better than every dialer app there is

And if you really want the status bar, try omega status bar or some other app out, but they are a bit buggy
