sounds positive! I'm waiting for it to be released nationwide.

But looking on lazada, the bundle deal still available, so means less than 100 people have orderd :s22:

Cant blame the consumer. The price is steep for a relatively "unknown" brand in Singapore. For alot of us, the price is the dull point when compared between the different flagship. That could have worked, during HTC prime time.

I'm really looking forward to 10. When note 7 official specs was announced, it didn't hype me up one bit. Iris unlocker is cool (especially when paired with Pokemon Go, it is like using your eye to unlock your pokedex), but seriously thumbprint scanner is more feasible.

Oh, and after using 1+3 yesterday, HTC 10 gesture could use some work.
The quick launching of camera (double swipe) just work too slow.

I expected the NOTE to be better tho. But after watching the first 5 mins of the livestream i decided it's time for bed.

Yes I'm aware. The point is you are paying the price of $1168 for a s7 edge with an additional stylus, iris scanner, and maybe dual edge back. Doesn't make a attractive package for me. I was hoping for dual lens hahaha

Well, the thing that I don't like about S7, S7 Edge and Note 7 is the back, really magnet for fingerprint.

street market price would be cheaper, S7 Edge is expensive when it first introduced too. just that there's 5-6 month gap making it feel the big differences in price. Just reminder that S7 edge is retail for $1098 when it first launch.

Back to HTC 10, sounds like they still don't bother about selling it properly. Wonder how hard is it to bring in a flagship when most of the time flagship are able to sell pretty well.

Been using since May, 32GB grey.
Smooth and responsive phone, with an always on touch activated fingerprint scanner which is fast and accurate and can unlock the phone without pressing down on any button. Very capable camera. Front facing speaker is a plus but could have been louder.

Only downsides are the screen (can't fight with branded flagships) and the partially broken NFC - Avoid for now if you read a lot of NFC cards with your phone, but no problems when using an external scanner to read your phone (eg. Android Pay). The vibration is powerful but loud when placed on a table.

Overall it's a great smartphone that got the fundamentals right.

Sweet. Is the pink tint too obvious or bad?

10 more days to local distribution, my wallet is ready, and I hope they bring in the verizon colors (Black front silver back)... not likely though :v

Me too been using since May, a Taiwan set. Love it, getting used to 5.2" though been using 5.9" One Max for 3 yrs. Best experience so far cannot complain.
Sound is great through the great ear piece. Responsive finger scanner.
Strongly recommend for HTC loves to get this. Battery life alright, unless keep playing games. The only downside is that screen turn to brightest under strong sun outdoor may still not be very bright...still visible though. Great phone in terms of spec and design...imho :D

Personally not too bad for me, unless you compare side by side with an amoled in samsung. But the SLCD5 isn't bad too. Just that you need to crank up the brightness a lil bit more.
