Posting with my new toy :)

Just got my new phone today, the new HTC one :-)
Lovely bit of kit, much smaller screen than my Note 2 but this phone is a hell of a lot faster!

Taking me a while to get used to sense again but is nice to have some uniformity back in a phone after 3 years of using Samsung crazy coloured menus.

Haven't tried the camera properly yet but the couple of shots I fired off in a pretty dark lounge focused very quickly and low light levels seem very good.

All in all very impressed and the phone really is growing on me :-)

There is always something special about getting a new phone. Can't put my finger on it, but it's always such a treat. Hope you enjoy it kibbster.

It's for you.........
Anyone remember when phones had dials, but you could tap on the handset rests to dial
Out (and get free calls if you knew the right numbers)
The people who discovered that went on to developing the internet........

Mine turned up today too

But 3 are yet to activate my SIM and deactivate the old one, so I felt like an ejit carrying two phones around all day!  But I did listen to music for an hour or so and only suffered a 1% drop in battery, with my two year old One X, I'd have lost 5-10%.  I can't wait to really see what it can do.

As for listening to music, I expected the speakers to sound better than those on my One X, but the One M8 sounded better with earphones too.  I think we'll be very happy together for the next two years.

Yeah ok it might be good, but does it sub ohm?

Haven't really tried out the speakers yet but they are rumoured to be excellent!

 I can remember doing that to beat my parents phone lock! (BTW It wasn't me that invented the internet!)

I remember that! Also remember my dad being really puzzled as to why the phone bill was still so large. Me and my sister were expert phone "tappers"

I have just tried to plug the charger that came with the phone into a socket and...it doesn't fit!

Nice one HTC.

Good job I've already got plenty of chargers.

I've just used USB to the PC.
It does say that if you use another USB lead it slow charges and you have to use the HTC supplied one to fast charge.

Also just ordered a 64GB SD card for it, wanted the 128GB but they are seriously expensive.
64GB should get all my music and plenty of space for photos/movies.

have you tried an app called plex yet its very good on a big screen phone
