With the release of the HTC One, Verizon customers were dismayed. Suddenly, the rumors started flying. Will there be a Verizon version of the HTC One? Will a different device come to Verizon with similar specs? What about the DLXPLUS? Neither HTC nor Verizon have said a word about this situation, until now. HTC’s director of public relations Tom Harlin… Read more
In a surprising move, HTC has released the source code for some variants of the HTC One. I say surprising because they usually release source code months after the phone, which is absolutely ridiculous. Case in point: Along with the HTC One source code, HTC also released the source for the DROID DNA. That device is a good 5 months old. But I guess this… Read more

HTC forcing security on all their phones, even when rooted, is an inconvenience at best and heresy in many people’s eyes. S-ON basically means you cannot write to the NAND with traditional means, so flashing ROMs gets significantly more complicated. If the bootloader is unlockable, why should they force S-ON on us? If we bought the device, shouldn’t we… Read more
People are often complaining that smartphones are getting too big. I often agree, though my Galaxy Note II betrays that.
