Oddly I've not seen sight of H+ signal as yet even though T mobile have good coverage in my area hmmm

It wouldn't be anything to do with my sim not being a proper micro-sim ... they used a tool to trim it down in store?

I got the exact same deal with Dialaphone but they offered 4 months free line rental too, which worked out at £504 for the life of the contract. They're not offering the 4 months free line rental on that plan anymore but they are offering it on the Panther 36 plan (400mins, 750mb data) on a 18 month deal.

My three n4 is showing h+ with an adapted sim so that shouldn't be the problem especially as yours was done in store.

The orange deal above is fantastic, it's like buy the phone interest free and have decent use of our network gratis, the cb and bill credit are crazy.

Further proof how HTC messed up with the camera, see these shots from the SGS IV review at GSM Arena, simply amazing without need for any Ultrapixel low-resolution marketing spiel http://www.gsmarena.com/samsung_galaxy_s4-review-914p9.php

GSMarena have a broken One unit, most review sites got crappy pre production phones. It's all HTCs fault for rushing out untested and unfinished hardware (again)

The "Ultrapixel" concept makes much sense than silly 8-13MP resolutions on phones. It's just poorly implemented and rushed, I bet they only started work on it after testing the 808 last year.
 
As Sarge said. It is pretty obvious gsmarena got a crappy unit.

They're the worse photos that I have seen produced from the one, just awful.

Not only do they seem to have av faulty camera but also faulty speakers.

Weird how they got a review unit with faulty cameras and faulty speakers, chances are one in a million.
 
Being faulty also gives it a really negative review to the average consumer.

I've just also talked to the Three help on their site and he seemed adamant to sign me onto a deal today. No wonder their shops are always empty.

Well go and read other reviews and user opinions rather than just always posting about the bad photos/reviews :rolleyes:

Pretty much every review so far and user has stated that the htc one audio is extremely loud and way louder than the gs 3 etc. they don't just rant and rave about the loudness but also about the quality so I think 1 review VS multiple reviews/user opinions speaks for itself regarding that area.

You can go and watch the videos on youtube and hear for yourself the difference in loudness.



Camera, I think it is pretty obvious that there is a problem when you look at all the reviews, variable results everywhere and it appears that the unit gsmarena got isn't the final unit (since they got it in their office not long after the htc one presentation show), the fact that the photos their one produces are probably the worse compared to all the other bad ones also speaks for itself.

Do I need to link every article that says the camera is better than the gs 4 camera hardware on paper, lack of megapixels aren't the problem, the one has a hardware and/or software problem etc. again?




Here is phonearena's video camera comparison:

so then the whole point of "solid aluminum etc etc" goes poof when you cover it in cheap silicone from recycled fake boob implants..

But this cripples half of the phones appeal, and doesn't guarantee it won't break anyway.
