HTC are offering 12 months interest free payments by the look of it at least. Smart move.
Not a good deal for HTC, but at least people will be spared the bloatware.
Honestly, the HTC 10 looks pretty great to me.

Yeah, I agree with everyone else. The M10 looks pretty damn good. I'd probably buy one as a backup for my 6P.

I hope it's because they refused to add in 20 apps worth of bloat. I think AT&T has dethroned Verizon as the bloat king.

Thanks for that, I had a play around with a 6P earlier and I think I can live with the size, the 5x seemed too small in comparison. Simply Electronics have the 64gb 6P for £389 so will go with that, as soon as I can get over my itch trigger finger
Same here. I might bite

No unlocked edition for Verizon? Boooooooo.
HTC 10 looks amazing. Was turned off by the initial leaks (RIP front speakers), but everything on paper looks very solid. $700 is a joke though if you're goal is to win back some fans. Luckily i have a contract upgrade this month.

Lol buying $700 flagships as a back up

hmm...thinking bout trading my S6 Edge for this M10
So what's the consensus on the best snapdragon optimised chromium browser?
Currently got jswarts and rsbrowser installed, js doesn't seem all that stable so far, locks up on pages and I have to close tabs to make it responsive. Only had rsbrowser for a couple of hours so don't really know how it will fare yet.

OK, the more I hear about the M10, the better it sounds.
"Your HTC warranty even covers bootloader unlocking on the HTC 10!

Probably RSBrowser, but remember that it's an old version of Chromium and there's bugs abound, especially with Google Keyboard and SwiftKey. Not sure on other keyboards.

Ok thanks, will keep chrome as a backup

No CDMA unlocked? Ugh
Maybe you can unlock it yourself after owning the device.
Phone seems decent although no removable battery.
Look forward to a complete teardown of the unit.

HTC 10 looks to be really great. Too small for my liking, though.

I can sell you my Nexus 10 if you're interested

All the CAF browsers are snapdragon optimized. However, the buginess and stability differs. I find the TugaBrowser version to be the most stable. The dev even fixed the annoying bug that screws with Google keyboard and other Google style keyboards like Chrooma. (It's also no longer an issue on current versions of chrome proper.)
TugaBrowser also gets updated the most often, but it's not on the Play Store. I'm on the March 17th build.

Edit: The dev makes a OnePlus ROM, which is why it mentions it, but the browser should work on any phone. (I have a Galaxy, for example.)

Shit, I might get a pair of USB-C headphones just so I don't have to plug them in the top of my 6P.

has calmed down a bit.
Damn, HTC 10 looks damn near perfect. Just need additional reviews on the camera and battery, their software has always been butter.
Camera should be solid. Looks like the same sensor as the Nexus 6p/5x but with the addition of OIS. As long as HTC doesn't mess it up through software it should be a great low light camera (and pretty much all cameras take good shots in day light now a days).

has calmed down a bit.
The lens is f1.8, I think the 6p is 2.0, so the 10 should be an improvement.
Also, is that a power button on the side? Why would you need a power button if you have a fingerprint scanner? Hope that's a camera button instead.

Not until they actually remove the headphone jack!
I'm curious to see how these compare to current noise canceling headphones.
I have a 6P, but now I'm actually contemplating a 10. I do love Sense and now that they have their camera in order....ugh.

Agreed.
I have a pair of Jaybirds that are useless since I keep my phone in my left pocket.
Bluetooth is bad.

The only time I use Bluetooth audio is for my phone hooking up to my car and it sounds pretty good there.

I use a pair of Jaybird earbuds for exercising and also when I'm lying in bed and they sound great. Never had an issue setting them up or connection problems.

Same. I installed a stereo to do this. It does work great there, but I prefer wired for headphones.
Indoors, they work okay. Outside, where there aren't walls for the signal to bounce around, I get very poor signal from them.

Because you need hardware buttons for when your phone freezes or you want to get into things like the boot menus?

Wut. I keep my phone in my left pants pocket and my Jabra Moves are flawless..
Just sealed it for me I guess. Damnit!
my sony sbh80s are pretty good but in places with a lot of interference they lag. bluetooth is shit.
There are plenty of Android phones that have had superb audio quality ... for years..
I've got a pair of JLab Epic Bluetooth earphones and the signal is poor when my phone is in my right pocket. In my hand, on my waist or arm is fine though.
Shame really, they sound awesome.
Yeah, even going from the iPhone 4S to a Galaxy S4 was a step up. One of the one good things I liked about that phone.
DXOmark score shows it tying with Galaxy S7 for best camera

The bands are there. Droid Life is going to test it on Verizon todayish.
Thanks, I'll give it a try.
Quality wise. I want to see if it is as fast as Samsung's and in real world low light performance. Z5 was also considered the best one not that long ago and well...
