so excited that i have got my rhodium i decided to start a thread so people who share my excitement when they 1st got theirs can post! hope the moderator don't close me down.................
it is beautiful and so slim considering what is under the hood! been trying that dual speakerphone system and it works well. tried using in noisy environment and it auto fades out surrounding noise so you can hear what other person is saying! still cant stop the wind blowing into speakers though!
interesting to see what battery life will be on this thing as that could be its achiles heel! added coreplayer via cab and it works well. videos look stunning! the tilt screen is much stiffer so it don't flop about like on my old kaiser/tilt. used to think the screen on my kaiser would fall off at anytime! it would be nice if people posted the their initial feelings of the device wen 1st received and thoughts after a few days of use. i will be!
thanks all
Keep us posted
waiting for mine shall have it tommorow will post my firt initial thoghts on the phone ad then long term use ie battrey life.

well i guess this is one of the few times we are allowed to feel like that! after initial 12 hr charge i am gonna put battery through its paces! seems to be an issue from some reviews on web. will see tomorrow and update! can't believe that MS hasn't updated WMP but i got coreplayer and thats a beast!

Oh ok sweet yeah post on the battery if you would. So WMP doesnt play movies well? On my touch hd it seemed to play better than coreplayer for me for some reason. I cant wait to try it out tomorrow How is the speaker volume? for music and ringtones

Keep in mind that it takes like 3 full battery uses and reloads to get the battery on its best.

yeah i know that but cheers for pointing out. getting its ass kicked today to see how it holds up after 1st charging cycle. gave it overnight charge - 12hrs. really hope battery holds up as this could be the only thing that could be its undoing. however saying that, when all the cooks start building rhodium roms etc i am sure there will be things in place to aid battery life!
few other things
no spare stylus. searched whole box and nothing.................
slide out mechanism is a bit stiff for my liking but like the sturdier feel to tilt screen. not sure bout purple background and do like the t-mobile look. that will be my 1st enhancement changing clocks and penguin to t-mobile rhodium look! will post screenshots of how it looks once done! very quick scrolling and smooth accross tabs. mem usage 50% as standard. music playback is more than suitable and in my opinion quite good! FINGERPRINT magnet my god! ugh hate that but will have to live with it! screen protector in box but i can never apply without getting bubbles underneath! big fingers/hands. i find tilt suitable enough for watching vids from my desk or table at home! can't wait to see WM6.5 on this machine
edit: still have the issue where i have to untick proxy in connections to get certain web apps working on t-mobile. for example messenger! not a big prob and doesn't slow down connection speed!

no worries! posted a few more observations above. must have been typing at same time as you!
finger menu is there and almost instant. synced my hotmail and gmail accounts with no issues. camera is 3 mgp and very adequate in good light conditions. that high res screen makes all the difference. video recording is awesome dude, best performance on any HTC deivice IMHO! call quality is great and very crisp. tv out is there but alas no cable and haven't searched to see if available yet!
multemidia
opera 9.5 there and works well but no flash support. IE is there but older version not new version. flash i however supported in IE. will update IE with cab i have for new version. been bashing since morning from bout 8.30am and till 3 bars left in battery.
(Sorry skip I know this should be posted in the UK thread, but I'm looking for some fast answers)
I'm happen to be in London at Nov. 17 and wonder what stores could have the gnexus in stock on that day. Carphone warehouse @ Oxford Street perhaps?

Thats ok mate I will let it slide for hmm 4 days then its getting closed
Im guessing that all phones4u store should have it in stock on release day, my local store in Great Yarmouth said they will have it in stock on 17th. Also maybe o2 stores since they have stated it will be available on pay monthly and PAYG plans on release. Havent heard anything about Carphone Warehouse stores stocking it.
If you give phones4u a call on 0800 072 5855 they should be able to tell you which stores will be stocking it on that day or put you in touch with them directly.

Thanks Mark! Exactly the info I needed. (Actually it is no coincidence that I will be in the UK at launch day lol)

Well one needs a vacation sometimes, so why not go where there's a new Android version is released .. and yeah London is also great LoL (there's a nice Jazz festival going on now).
Just hope I can get it somewhere without a plan. Otherwise I have to fill my time with visiting weird things like bridges, palaces, churches etc lol

Haha you dont wana do that theres plenty of bridges to look at in the world. Phones4u should definitely be stocking them on 17th so get a few adresses before you go and even call them if you can.

Man the text on this phone is HUGE!!! Even on the GN you were able to reduce the size of the text a bit more than this. Anyone else find this text way larger than it needs to be?
Also for all those who are consideirng buying. Handtec fantastic retailer. I use to buy from them back in my winmo days and they would always screw up the importing documents and the package would be stuck in customs but they have fixed that now. Fast and smooth transaction and it was also the cheapest i was able to find it.
I'm glad you had a good experience with Handtec. I was thinking about ordering from them here in a few days as well.
did you try and change the font size in settings?
settings..>..display & gestures..>..font size
do the packages always go to customs or they just choose them randomly

I believe its random. I've ordered twice from Handtec. Last year I got my GS II from them and it arrived the next day without being stopped by customs. My One X is in customs now. It was supposed to arrive today. I faxed the papers in and my phone has been released. It will arrive tomorrow. So it was only a 1 day delay.

Yea. I changed it to small but i believe the GN had a tiny setting that this device doesn't have or the small just isn't small enough.

I actually believe all packages go through customs. You only get stuck when some document is off or if some genius over there reads the document incorrectly. That last one really pisses me off. From my experience it goes through customs in the middle of the night. Once its starts moving the UK it gets to the US the following day. For the east coast folks i believe it stops in Memphis which has a customs office and then goes out from there.
at what time/day did you guys order it? and what color? did you choose Fedex or UPS? someone from NY said he got it the next day..his package didn't have to go through customs

I'm not sure how anyone would know if it went through customs or not? There is a difference between being stuck in customs and going through customs. I think its like saying I didn't go through airport security just because you didn't go through extra screening. I'm pretty sure it all goes through customs but then again I've never worked for fedex or UPS so i don't really know.
In this case I ordered on Sunday afternoon and they shipped it out Tuesday evening UK time and I got it Wed morning before 1030AM.

I don't know? probably because he received it the next business day..Ive placed an order wed afternoon so hopefully i will get it this sat
At Handtec? If you placed it on Wed and you live in Miami you will probably get it Friday assuming they didn't mess up any documentation.
How much did you pay for your One X?Are there any tax/fee when you purchase from handtec?

It was 403.99 pounds without VAT, which you don't have to pay if you are in the US. That turned out to about 685 US dollars.

I'm using on At&t but I believe it supports 850MHz and 1900MHz on the One X but only one of those for the One S. I haven't had any connectivity issues but I also have not left Melbourne FL since yesterday when I received it. I also bought a micro sim cutter. I'm sure you've already considered this but I wanted to let everyone know that the Noosy second generation cutter is great although the adapters SUCK!!!!!

You can set the text size to small and reduce it even more if you pinch to zoom when you're in an actual text message!!! It'll be bloody tiny! Or skip the: Settings - Small step and just pinch to zoom when you're in a message.

Hahah!! I did not try that. Thanks for the tip. It worked well. I just wish it would go through the entire overlay. Just so much wasted space but lets be honest we all know I'm waiting for a AOKP build lol. Probably won't happen till kernel source is available.

hmm ok plan b.. install 'rom toolbox' from the market go to the last page of the tweaks and choose a font from the font installer..some of them are really tiny
Sadly I enjoy the current font. Just wish it was smaller. I mean to be honest its a nit picky thing. If my only complaint about the phone is the font is too big then HTC is doing something right.
Cannot agree more on the font size!!!
I'm getting a little annoyed by the font size too!!
Received my One S yesterday and the font size is the first thing that caught my nerves!!! I was like !!!
Especially in the Email app, even setting the body font size to small, the text is HUGE on the emails!!!
I own a Galaxy Nexus too, and the font size is SOOOOO MUCH more normal and gives you more sizes to choose from!!!
So I'm guessing its a HTC Sense issue...
I actually posted a thread on this problem too (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=24749856)

Had new htc 10 today before turning the device on i noticed lines running down the screen vertical under the light , but as ive seen this before with other devices i wasent to bothered.
Now im running my brightness at 60% because im not keen on the auto brightness settings and i think they make the screen look quite poor. The screen looks nice at 60% but that being said you can see these vertical lines running down the screen on white backgrounds .... anyone else noticed this ....... feel a bit underwhelmed with the screen at the moment due to this.
I had the exact same thing although now I can't see them anymore. It may have just been when I was sat out in the sun.
I literally just noticed them for the first time today. I have to hold it at an angle in bright light to see them though. I can see them when the screen is off too. I can see them if I really try on a white background, but if I don't look for them I don't see them.
I have these too - it looks like a digitizer thing.
Just been to a store. Store unit does not have it. Can we get more people reporting in please? Mine is the black unit, UK..
--- Or it might ----
I am not certain. Can we have more users confirm existence or not of it?
Just got out of a three store. Put my unit to the demo one side by side. Demo one did not have it. Manufacturers flaw. Mine is going back to HTC uk
Some HTC 10 users reported this issue is about sharp panel, the other one tianma doesn't have these lines

Thank you..
Is there another thread or post where I can monitor this discussion?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=3370972
BTW thread is really long
an issue
Hi all, this is definitely a real issue.. I got my HTC 10 in the UK after ordering from the HTC website, and immediately noticed the faint white lines running down the screen... its unacceptable.
I sent it back to HTC and its currently 'in repair' - the guy told me there have been no reported issues with the HTC 10 so far . I've since gone into O2 store on oxford street to have a look at the display model - that had the same problem as mine!! So I thought ok what the hell, its such a poor screen why have none of the reviewers been complaining about it. But then went into EE store in stratford today and their display model does NOT have the same problem.
So don't know whether its due to a faulty batch or different screen as people in the other thread are mentioning, but whatever it is, its pretty disappointing from HTC. you pay £500+ and get a crap screen after preorder... wheres the quality control!!

Exactly...
I think it also comes down to whichever colour you choose...The discussion in the thread above links to all sorts of issues with these panels - However, O2 does not ship the Htc 10. So I am not sure how exactly you saw that in their Oxford street?

yes you are right actually, it was carphone warehouse not o2 shop that I saw it in. It was the one behind selfridges near Bond Street. One of the frustrating aspects actually has been I couldn't find any shops with a working display model of the HTC 10 to compare my pre-ordered handset with. Mine (and the two I checked in shops) have all been the black model.
