[kelvinti]

Any new models that are coming out in 2013 got to have 4G LTE. Else, it's not worth upgrading no matter how awesome is the phone likes 10 GB of Memory, 10 TB of storage, 8-core CPU, 100MP of camera...bla bla bla...

I just wish that they standardize the LTE...

No LTE! WHY

Relax, it was meant for the European and Chinese market mostly which LTE is still mostly spotty at best. The only good thing about Singapore telcos is they lay down new infrastructure faster than others with the exception of Starhub. God knows what the hell are they doing...

They are doing surprisingly quite well in Japan. During launch week, it outsold the iPhone 5 and became the bestseller for KDDI (Japan 2nd largest telco).

No LTE! WHY

Hi all,

For those who are still hoping the Butterfly will come in LTE version to SG, here's the screenshot from IDA Equipment List to dash your last hopes. =X

 

[kelvinti]

In that case, it is a pass for me. My next pphone upgrade from my current HOX has got to be a LTE one.

 

[yellowduck]

Great... I don't need 4g anyway since I won't be re-contracting my old plan for a while... can't stand the new plan with so much lesser data.....hope the price Is not exorbitant...

The price in Taipei is selling at TWD22900, which is around S$980+ without plan. Very tempted to buy though but too bad no international warranty. Stocks are low as some shops hv sold out.

i thinking of getting the AU KDDI variant and unlock it.

The price is amazon wireless site is 599.99 USD. This is without contract from Verizon.

Actually Verizon DNA model is GSM unlocked so should work here.

I have ordered one expecting to be delivered around 15th of this month.

HTC rumored going to launch the M7 next week Monday in US (Tuesday) to get a super early headstart from the Galaxy SIV. However, knowing HTC it probably won't shipped until early March and if it is new method of production (to them) early adopters will suffer from production issues.

 

[BradenHeat]

Japan product?



next...........



not being sarcastic, rather Japan coy and folks are trolling us, or rather imho so far.....in regards to phones.

 

[iammole]

bookmarked .

Leaked screenshots of Sense 5.0 (WIP) that will be coming with the M7.

Lockscreen

Dialer

Redesign Keyboard with the ever familiar 3-dots...

And

M7's frameshot

Looks like HTC is flattening their icons and make it more cartoony. God now even the best custom skin of Android have to go with Touchwiz path.

 

[kelvinti]

I'm now comparing it to the Xperia Z.....we have got a serious competition here.

5" is just the sweet spot for me.
