That's a cool looking device. I hope you like it. How is the audio? HTC had been one of the best OEMs for audio at one time, but I haven't kept up with them lately. I like the clear case you got. What brand is it?

I had forgotten how good Boom Sound worked since it has been so long since I had the M8 for Windows.

I got a wallet case like I always do but it doesn't do justice to the color so I got the clear.

Forgot to mention it's a Spigen case.

I went a little bit outside my comfort zone with this since I've not heard anything good about HTC lately. Man I was wrong. This is the U11 factory unlocked model and it is good. So far only one gripe and that's the screen brightness being a tad too dim for my tastes. The camera is sick, probably better than my S8+. More to come.

Congrats! I hope it serves you well. I'll be looking forward to hearing more of your thoughts.

At this point there isn't much to say other than it's a solid flagship device from a manufacturer that I wouldn't have considered based on what I had read. That says more about the lack of true journalism these days than it does about the product itself. HTC is in dire financial straits but that didn't stop them from building one hell of a device. As I mentioned before, the only personal gripe I have is the max screen brightness not being what I prefer. My senior project manager would probably love it because he has his phone set at about 25% brightness all the time. Maybe he's part owl, I don't know.

What I do know is that this phone is easily in the top 5 today. Even though battery life is excellent, a bigger capacity battery would put it in the "holy s**t!" category. It easily lasts one of my days but it has less left in the tank than say, my GS8+. Another concern is directed at HTC and not the device itself and that's security updates. It's still on the December 2017 patch which is ****-poor. My Windows phones are on March 2018.

@raycpl, I got this back in 2106 for USD21.95, has always worked great (probably only USB3.0 though:).



Update: just checked and it's now $30 and change (USB3.1), and also available in 128GB for $53 and change: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0...pUvbUpU3741010

(it looked like this ..32MB jeez!!!)

You should've pestered your neighbor to return your things. Lesson learned though, don't let anyone borrow anything from you.

I've used the NexDock, the Superbook and an old Motorola LapDock for Continuum and they are toys compared to this. I especially like how an included USB-C to USB-C cable provides the means to connect and charge the phone simultaneously. Superb fit and finish although the display is a couple of shades too dim for my tastes. YMMV on this front since I always set my displays to 100%.

The spoiler hasn't arrived or been painted yet. But here's what it WILL look like, except imagine a white car and not a convertible and therefore without a fender antenna. But other than that.... LoL

Updated with actual spoiler on actual car. Still not painted to match.

It hasn't arrived yet but I just purchased a set of Proxes A20 Toyo tires from 4WheelOnline that I'll be using on my Tacoma for recovery vehicle modification.
