The more I used the 8 today, the more I found it...unremarkable.
This is hardly surprising to me. There's been indications for a while now that people are tired of the constant upgrade cycles. Phones are lasting longer and personally I don't see any new breakout features to woo the crowds coming anytime soon.
I was a bit worried when I saw the CPU. It looked pretty old. It's actually not too bad spec wise. Still on Windows 7 too.
I've reached that point where I'm not going to upgrade unless necessary. There aren't any new devices that wow me to the point I want to upgrade at this point.
That's pretty much the same for me. If my USB port wasn't acting up I wouldn't be thinking of upgrading at all for at least another year.
Quite the adjustment. Not only for letters, but numbers, punctuation, etc...
Some people find that keyboard more functional. Good luck with that.
If I had a $100 bucks for everytike I said that in a day, I'd still be broke as uncle Sam would try to find a way to tax it.
That's the drawback with how Android initially so hardware driven. Truth be told, I could have easily if I wanted to be a cheapass just repaired the HTC 10, S-OFF to change the ROM to the international variant and left it on 8.1 and be OK for another 2 years. That phone the audio is still better than a lot of others launched since, the camera is plenty capable (it was the first modern very good HTC camera) and I'm still a sucker for high end aluminum designs.
