Why does launch version matter? We already have 4.2.2 for this device (I'm running it now, and personally prefer 4.1.2 so far). I can't imagine it would take long to get 4.2.2 on the One. Plus I just saw a post that football says this device will get official 4.2.2 and sense 5, so, again, I can't imagine the One won't have it quickly, one way or another . I Dont see what is appealing about the s4, doesn't seem much different than s3.

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] ED2O9:
No microSD card slot.

No replaceable battery.

No deal.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] igotlostintampa:
you need more than 64gigs of space on your phone? o.o i mean i have 4TB's on my computer (with space for 6 more hard drives), 32gigs on my tablet, 3TB's on my network drive, 2TB's On my FTP server, 1TB in my media pc, 2.5TB's on my laptop...

my 32gig tablet holds my 10000 mp3 library along with some HD movies, and a couple pictures, but with everything on the cloud now adays..whats more than 64 have to offer you?

My phone dies after about an entire day of medium use, and this is the Evo 4g lte...

the replaceable battery is an issue i suppose, but there will be cases that have batteries in them, that double the length of time you can use your phone.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Quetzalcoatl:
I don't want to rely on the cloud.

Sprint doesn't have the best data speeds or coverage.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] jspsuperman:
This, cloud is great if data is. But its not, i have 34gigs of music on my sdcard and a couple movies, also backups. Needless 2 say its about full. Expansion slots should be a mandatory thing imo

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] igotlostintampa:
O.o ok dont take this the wrong way you guys but...

1. I didnt say 32, or 34, i said 64, your phone would be half full at this capacity.

2. There is no way i can believe you have more audio than that (unless you download entire discographies of everyone you know in WAV format) (or FLAC)

3. Photos would be a good use of the space now that the phone has a much higher quality camera (not really all that much), but its not useful to horde photos on your phone in any way if you possess another electronic device. Nor is it safe for your photos to keep them that way.

4. This is a phone, not a media center, or a computer, or a tablet.

5. The cloud is fairly reliable for listening to music (im not saying ALL of your music, but the stuff you dont listen to on a regular basis), or in some cases streaming HD video, but i again dont see the point of holding 10+ 1080P videos on your device. Unless you actually view HD video that you possess (not stream) on a regular basis, as the screen isnt really large enough to provide a full experience..

6. An SD card generally writes slower than internal storage, unless its top of the line..

7. While i can see the desire i cannot see the purpose..

This is not a complaint, nor am i trolling, nor am i stating any of this to try to convince you. These are my views on the topic and i want to know what i am missing here to see if i may have a similar issue when using the device when it arrives.

What does everyone use more than 64GB worth of space for on their device? give me some examples :) I wanna know what im missing out on here...
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Quetzalcoatl:
I don't want my data all in one place . I know that can be solved with the cloud but I don't want to put everything in the cloud. What I like about an sd card is that if the phone ****s out on me I haven't lost my data.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] igotlostintampa:
I suppose i could understand this to a degree, though, ive never had a phone crap out on me o.o i could see the security in that.

I believe that all comes down to how much patience you have, and your sense of security online.

for me, i keep very little on my phones storage, photos i either upload somewhere for public access (the cloud) or transfer them to my computer after about a days worth of photos. Thank god for dropbox.

Videos are the same way, they auto upload to my FTP server after being taken and i then delete them, unless they are something i want to share specifically within the next hour or so with some family (i dont watch many videos on something smaller than 7 inches, thank god for the nexus 7)

Music i stream from my ftp Server, though i do keep the songs i listen to most on internal storage. (i do have an SD card) Along with HD video, though i do keep some movies on my phone, for times of boredom on an airplane, or while traveling.

And beyond that everything is kept on internal storage anyways, minus downloads if you have an sdcard and are using AOSP...for some reason. Torrenting i keep to my SDcard, but i dont generally torrent...........on my phone.

I do though see the reason for other people to need an SDcard for security reasons though now. So thanks for that :) I suppose there will always be other phones out there, i just come from the days when having 2GB on your phone WAS AWESOME, it was then i discovered i could create a "cloud" out of an FTP server in my house :)

If i were to use an SDcard, id keep a backup of it stored safely somewhere else, cause those little things are some fragile little mothas.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] jspsuperman:
I have over 5000 songs and i like high quality, not **** sounding files. I take tons of pics of my daughter, i like looking at them and showing them off. I also have dropbox as a backup and a separate hdd in my comp, but i like having the photos w me. These "phones" do everything that was completely science fiction back in the sixties star trek style. The cloud is not reliable if your service sucks, which being on sprint means it mostly sucks balls. Also im blessed enough to have a job were i can watch a movie or two every now and then, so i like downloading new stuff to the card for that purpose. Top of the line sdcards still arent as fast granted, but i need the extra space. Just because you see one thing doesn't mean that other people dnt see th opposite. Apple took away th choice from th sheeple. I like being able to choose my way.

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] swaze:
Just an observation....many people always say no sd no battery is a deal breaker blah blah blah......I need all this space blah blah blah.....yet when the phone comes out and they start to see all this activity coming from cool ROMs and such, they end up getting it anyway. Not that it matters but that's what I have seen in the past few releases. Its kind of funny to me.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] 10-Dee-Q:
for me:

-NO SD is Fine : as the HTC ONE has build in 64GB memory in it

actually i preffer it this way for number of reason, the internal storage is more stable than SD card, as you know there's a lot of chinese mad SD card that tend to be slow and unstable thus making the phone hangs, slow, etc.

and also it allows me to put bigger size file than 4GB limit that fat32 have.

as long as it came with build in 64GB or bigger, ill be happy.

-No Batter : this is a little bit on the hard side.

i have charger at home, office, and my car

so basically i'll be okay for normal day usage , the problem with build in battery for me is when i go abroad for holiday or bussiness work.

we can still cary an external battery pack but it's a little bit bothersome and most of them are a little bit heavy and big.

anyway i'm still curious wheter the new HTC one for sprint will be global capable or not ?

the only thing that can make me upgrade from EVOLTE to HTC ONE is if the One have GSM capability which i needed badly as i frequently overseas where there's no CDMA network available, and also that front speaker,! the EVOLTE speaker is the worst speaker phone i ever owned. so im looking forward to those "stereo speakers on the ONE"
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] ED2O9:
In response to my previous post regarding "No microSD...", I just want to explain my reasoning. I already have a class 10 64GB microSD card in my Evo 4G. If I opt to switch to a new phone, I don't like the idea of paying more for memory space that I already own. It's not like expandable memory is something new. In fact, forcing customers to pay more for devices with larger capacities instead of giving them the option of adding memory as needed is one of the reasons I've avoided Apple. Last summer when the Nexus 7 came out, everyone jumped on the 16GB version and said that people were crazy to expect more space than that. With developers like Gameloft releasing apps that have 1GB+ of additional content, that 16GB was filled in no time. Suddenly, the 32GB version was available and now that seems a bit restrictive. Two years from now, who knows what the average size of some of the games might be when you consider the speed and graphical capabilities of these new devices. I chose Android because I like to customize the device to my needs, and the ability to add more memory space in the future is major consideration.

The same holds true for the battery. Practically every phone I've had in the past 8 years has seen a noticeable drop in battery life after a year due to normal use. My solution has been to replace it with a new battery after a year and keep the old one fully-charged as a back-up. It's worked out well and I can't count the number of times I've appreciated having that second battery available. The Evo battery can't be replaced on the fly, but it's a pretty simple project if the battery life start to become an issue.

If HTC wants to boost their profits by forcing customers to pay extra for the 64GB version instead of adding a microSD slot, that's their choice. Personally, I feel that if I'm going to pay a premium for a "flagship" device, I shouldn't have to make concessions, and passing up on expandable memory and user replaceable batteries are just that.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] USMC retired:
Yep

I will be getting it, and when the first ROM hits for the phone.......I will theme the heck out of it.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] scottspa74:
"Its not like expandable memory is something new...". .you're right. It's something old, and android wants nothing yo do with it, which makes sense from their business model.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] jspsuperman:
That kind of thinking isnt reasonable tho. Its like trying to close pandoras box after seeing the great things inside. Here you can have expanded memory for awhile but now we dnt think you need it, so we are taking it away. No no, we dnt care you have bought a 64gig microsd card. I just want choices, not somebody telling me what i need :D
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] ED2O9:
If the idea of a microSD card slot is so antiquated, why didn't Samsung drop it with the GS4 (which is actually slated to release with a newer version of Android than the One)?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] swaze:
perhaps to stand out from everyone else. If you haven't noticed Google wants phones to do away with SD cards and seems like most OEMS are following. Samsung is looking more and more like they are getting AWAY from android and moving towards their own. SoI guess what google wants doesn't apply to them.

Let’s start with the simplest form of this: CyanogenMod does not pre-announce support or lack of support for devices"
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] swaze:
It wasn't dropped, just the team who normally dev for Samsung said they aren't getting the device. That doesn't mean it won't get CM, it just means another CM team member will have to step in and dev for it. More than likely someone will take the challenge but they may/may not be as good as team hacksung.

No they dont, but if you are an OEM who is running googles software, more than likely you are going to stay in line with their requirements to efficiently run their software on their phone. That is what partnerships are about.

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Rippley05:
My girlfriend said I can use her upgrade. .different account but I assume she can get the phone and give it to me before she activates it.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] scottspa74:
Uummmmmm, of course they do.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] leerage:
She will use her upgrade to purchase the phone, activate it, and then once it is activated she will need to switch back to her old phone. Once that is done you should be able to activate it on your line. I'm not sure if they can just use her upgrade without activating it first since you have two different accounts.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] MrSteez:
Yeah we would have to put it on her account first but you wouldn't even take the phone out of the box. As soon as the phone is put on her account with the Upgrade we'd take it off and put her old phone back and now we have a phone that's been upgraded and paid for not on any account at all so we could put it on his account. Hell, we could even give the girlfriend his phone to use on her account if it's better than the one she has already.

This is how I plan to get mine too ha from my Grandma's upgrade.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] indiscriminant:
I will be getting the HTC One as long as we can get it rooted/S-off which I have no doubt we will get eventually if not shortly after the US release.

The battery not being removable means nothing to me, my current EVO doesn't have one and it has worked fine for me. Rarely have I found myself with a dead phone. The expandable storage isn't as big of a deal to me either. My music is on Google Music, I keep certain playlists pinned to keep on my phone when I am in areas without good data connection/wifi which is plenty. There is no point anyone is in poor data/no data range for an extended period/point they can't work through it with things like that. 32 gigs is plenty and 64 is more than enough with tools like google music/drop box in my opinion.

Outside of that its more of a E-Penis bragging that you can play 4,000 songs back to back and watch 10 movies without having data, because that WOULD NEVER HAPPEN in real life.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Rippley05:
Little confused... So you're saying after it arrives in the mail, she'll have to take it to Sprint and get it activated on her account then de-activated?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] volk9029:

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] ryanalan82:
That's wrong, I have 10500 songs on my 64gig , almost every day at work I set it on shuffle. Not everyone has awesome Sprint data speeds, lol. And with data on, battery would be sucked down to hell trying to stream music for 8 hrs a day. On Wi-Fi it's acceptable but other than that I usually don't access the full 14500 songs in my Google music cloud. Also 64 sd plus 16 internal isn't even enough. I want to be moving forward in more storage space, not backward. I also have maybe a movie or so and a full libraries of games from every emulator that even runs. It saves time having it all on there and NOT every having to keep running back to a computer to swap things out, I can't stand doing that. Goal..... Fill it up, and leave it alone. Otherwise it's like your just getting $10 in gas at a time, trying to be cheap, but you still gotta go to the pump everyday.

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Rippley05:
I'm not being an ass here, but the person with 10,500 songs is not the norm. I''m not one to judge anyone for how many songs they want, regardless of how I feel about it, but it is most certainly the exception and not the rule. They aren't going to cater phone designs around the handful of people who just have to have all that music. There are other options for you, keeping your old phone is one.

Again, not bashing you because I LOVE my music as well...just saying 32/64 gig options are more than enough for 90% of the people buying the phone. ;)

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] decayer177:
Just more reason to rely on cloud computing for storage since you can no longer just put in a memory card when you need the phone replaced.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Genjinaro:
Its not that it isn't enough, its definitely an acceptable amount of storage.

Its that there are those who invested in having that much storage (over 32GB) because they use that much storage, sure the cloud isn't unreliable but it also isn't "as reliable".

That simple.

When you take the SD Card out of the equation, you are married to those limitations.

Some might not even use 32GB yet, usage patterns can change in a 2 year (22 month) period.

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Westfire:
I have been on the Evo line since the beginning but I am just not all excited with getting the One. Maybe the Evo LTE is still just a great phone that an upgrade doesn't feel necessary. My other concern is about the special drivers with the One's camera. I remember the hell we went through with the Evo 3D porting ROMs and such, they just never really worked right and was painful. I hope it isn't the same thing with the One. If you strip all the Ultra Pixel features from a ported ROM you are left with a basic 4 MP camera which would suck.
