Why lips? 
 
Like the idea of the depth focus thing if it works properly sounds brilliant. 
 
Read the BBC review earlier andthey were saying the pack of fingerprint sensor was a down point

CS in-joke from when Steve used to basically only communicate using phrases containing one of the following: "lips", "do u want to fight me?" or "M8".

Quite. Almost as shit as the name of HTC's new handset, hence the satire...   
 
Do try and keep up, Russ - I haven't got time to work a mixed ability group.

Looks similar to the HTC one which I have at the minute got offered a upgrade last month and its the first time iv turned one down to keep a phone very impressed with it, but think eventually when I do upgrade ill be getting this

Always liked the current One. Shame to see them desperately trying to "improve" by increasing the screen size.

Was going to order one today as due an upgrade but size of the screen scares me. I have a One X that I use for work and it's huge compared to my iPhone so the additional size does out me off.

I like that they use 10 8 even though it's digital.

Actually just on the side of that. I'm currently with orange, if I take a new contract with EE 4g would they accept the PAC code from orange to transfer my number? I know they won't if you have the same provider and take a new contract but technically they are different suppliers aren't they? Regardless of the fact they are owned by the same umbrella company?

Nice looking phone. 
 
Mines a 5'' screen and it is pretty big tbh.

I'm beginning to detest my One with a passion. Having to shut down the chrome app due to being unable to click the post button is infuriating   Amongst other little niggles that piss me off no end. Especially the sim card issues.

They wouldn't let me take a new deal and keep my number and upgrades were offer was a poorer than a new contract. So decided to cancel and mess around with transferring my number elsewhere before moving to EE. As I was cancelling retentions beat the online deal I was after so happy days.
