Just like iMessage, have it built into the messages app.

Touchwiz is hideous, but it worked ok. Don’t get me wrong, I much prefer stock or sense, but to get the larger screen and battery I could deal with touchwiz, as well as the crappy design. But it doesn’t look as though I’m going to have to, the above link points out an HTC phablet, and today there was also a post on Pocketnow on this subject too. I hope their right.

Though I really liked the multi-window support on the Note, hope other phablets get this too.

Cool, thanks! Little disappointed it will have the same specs, hoping for snapdragon 800, but i have no complaints on the performance of my One anyway so this would be sweet!

So am I the only one that thought “but deadly” instead of “not forgotten” when reading the headline?

The pluses of the butterfly – the screen is larger, the capacitive buttons are better positioned, and it has an sd card slot.

The pluses of the one – sharper display (though probably not noticeable unless looking really close), a faster cpu, faster gpu, boom sound, and the camera.

Both good phones, if you want the larger display and sd card slot, get the butterfly. If you want better performance and better sound get the one.

That’s what I don’t get. You can measure how many people view online with 100 accuracy, Neilson is more like an estimate based on servers and a limited number of monitoring systems in certain people’s homes.

Online would give a far more accurate number.

Why you must ask? Well simple if you’ve read any of my articles you’d know why I did it, if not I’ll explain, I recently moved to Great Falls, Montana.

He clearly states he’s in the USA, unless there is a Montana in India that I’m unaware of.

Now we all know stealing is wrong deep down, and at least this guy/girl is willing to admit to what he has done with little or no fear.

Thats the problem. Stealing is wrong, and we should all feel somewhat ashamed if we’ve done it. If we don’t, than that just means we dont feel as though we did anything wrong or we dont care. I don’t see how people are on “their high horses” telling this kid that what he is doing is wrong. He is young, so maybe he doesnt know any better. I know back when napster first came out I was a little older than he and I downloaded my fair share of music, it just didnt seem like it was wrong at all at the time. Now I’m older and know better and have been paying for my music for years.

You’re right. I too don’t have the money for Lambo, so I should be able to steal one.

Well, looks like defrndr beat me to it, but I cant delete this post. Only edit.

Ah, no worries.

I don’t own the black one, I have the sliver/grey one. I found some videos on the black one. I don’t think the black one scratches more easily than the grey, its probably just that the black one show those scratches more. Though the chamfered edge on my black iPhone chipped really easily.

One Stealth Black Does it scratch easily?

Grey one? Are you sure you’re not thinking about the One X? The HTC One is made out of aluminum and only comes in silver or black, the HTC One X is made out of plastic and comes in black, white, or grey.

I liked most of it, but agree that the Mandarin was wasted. I kept waiting for the Mandarin to go into evil mode and that the actor character was just a way of him messing with Stark.

Also, Pepper returned way to quickly and it was very obvious she was going to survive that fall. They should have kept her dead, with her maybe returning in a future film as the badass she was in the final battle, maybe even the classic returning as a bad guy marvel trope.

I actually liked windows mobile a lot more back when it was new than windows phone now. I kinda wish they kept original paradigm of windows mobile and kept upgrading it. I think a modern windows mobile would be sweet.

Its ok. And for the record, I have a One in front of me too. ;)
And for swipe-down settings, get the app “settings extended”. It adds quick settings to the drop down menu, which you can customize.
Cant help you with lockscreen widgets or the clock app though.
