Is this the new S5?

Wait... I thought Samsung were supposed to be really good at advertising and that that's the only reason anyone used them?
Now I find that they are crappy at advertising and everyone still uses them. I don't know what to think now.

Seems to be the reason du jour to hate on apple. Why not apply that faulty logic to Samsung too?

We all know only educated, plugged in, super techy types use android. All the other group-think masses use apple phones. Is that how the nerds try to feel superior reasoning these days?

A disproportionate number of the people I know/see with Notes are small women. Purses make for easy carrying.

Anyway, it's not news that most US celebs use iPhones. That's just the way the groupthink works at the moment.

Sounds like you're jealous...

Heh. You're going to be even more confused when you read the relentless HTC apologist AT hired for their articles.

TBH I'm warming to the M8.
I'm hoping that they will have squeezed a decently sized battery in there. About the only hardware thing I'm still a bit Meh about is the size of the phone compared to the screen and the power button on top.

Unfortunately that's something we've been saying for years about HTC, but they never follow through. Keep on hoping.

That's true.

But they put back the SDcard so maybe they are actually listening to end users now?

People have complained to SONY about their puny batteries for ages as well and they finally listened with the Z2. If SONY can listen, HTC damn well better...

Honestly it isn't as bad as most people are making it out to be. The more muted TouchWiz look I'd argue is much better than what we have on the S4 today.

The copper/gold one still looks hideous in that, and they need to stop having that camera hump.

Also WTF at the pulse sensor. If you've got a finger you've already got a pulse sensor.
