not a chance. Do ppl really buy LG phones? Do they have an unlimited marketing budget like Samsung.
I admit Samsung makes horrible phones. But how do they sell? Its all in the marketing. They are cash rich, they would do anything to kill Apple.
Yes, they will find it tough, at the same time they are bound to eat some % from Sam with this model. Im sure they would market it accordingly.
Do u know HTC makes better phones than shitty Galaxy phones with One X, Butterfly and the flagship One series?
Problem is they have very limited marketing budget and they are struggling selling their phones.
You are right, my bro bought one HTC ONE X PLUS for his wife a month back. Fantastic specs with in built 64 gb. Great music n sound clarity. I was spell bound to say the least. That day I decided that enough of Sam phones for me.
Also most of the consumers get attracted by the gloss and color reproduction of Sam phones . That includes me also.
@kea @novaknole – HTC has one of the worst service network. If you have any trouble with your phone, you are finished. I think Samsung design >>>> HTC. And like novaknole says Samsung is the market leader in displays – most vendors including Apple use their screens.
* I meant:
HTC design > Samsung. But Samsung service + quality >>>>> HTC.
but there is no death, probably they dont have humidity factor,
Also there was a recent storm in NW pacific which crossed coast for from south of Shanghai, so the moisture over Shanghai has been pulled by that system, which is the reason for more heat and less humidity, so the death.
as soon as the torrential drizzle stopped, knew we were heading for a very uncomfortable day. Chennai rarely misses predictions for a hot and sultry day and here it is.

From Unbreakable Codes To Incredible New Computers, Quantum Technology Is Clearly The Future
“I don’t think people need their own quantum computers,” said Beloussov. “Not everyone needs their own power generator. They’re expensive and complicated. I imagine we will be interacting with quantum computers over our mobile devices in the future.”
It was lanina condition till July, this favours SWM, so we got bountiful rains. Now ENSO turned neutral, hence rains reduced as i forecasted on 28th July.
Marginal ELNINO condition from here is possible, so SWM will withdraw on time.
Positive ELNINO & below -0.5C LANINA & Negative IOD is favourable for NEM. This is the condition we have now and this will continue till December.
Since the SWM withdrawal going to be on time, we will get NEM onset in advance, means before 15th October.

If you want to minimize regret – buy the efficient S3/S4. Downside is a plasticky phone. If you want to maximize glee – buy the beautiful HTC One X. Downside is you are screwed iff things go wrong with your phone. Decision depends on the nature of person you are 😀
@Parthasari– I had Samsung in my mind before Kea put his foot down..I am again back to limbo state!!although most reviews tend to state Ashwinds..i.e. HTC is definitely way ahead,but suspect on service
a HTC Desire has now spent more time going back and forth to the service center than being used. Been fighting a battle with them for over 3 months – 4 trips already and each time they send it back without even checking if the issue was resloved. They agreed to replace it about 3 weeks back – still no news 😛
I personally prefer the Nexus line: regardless of manufacturer because I think Google makes sure the manufacturer are kept honest. Not to forget that updates are always first if you use a Nexus and the lack of bloatware.
I love the One X’s design and camera. But its a great phone so long as the going is good.
In terms of service it is definitely SAMSUNG, i dont have any idea about HTC service.
one thing i would say, both are good in higher end versions.
One thing i would say is, do not see too much when buying a mobile.
I am sure that you will not use 1 mobile for more than 2 years.
I have purchased HTC Windows CE Touch in 2004 (Model D600) @ Rs.29,500/- + 2GB MC for Rs.4500/- till today its working fine, no problem, i haven’t faced any problem in that.
I have a HTC one V absolutely no issues with it for the last year or so. Must have dropped atleast a couple of dozen times doubt a Samsung would live with that abuse.

Japan’s Meteorological Agency says it is investigating after it issued an alert for a very strong earthquake that turned out to be only a mild shake.
Loud alarms rang from cellphones and TVs just before 5 p.m. Japan time on Thursday, warning of an earthquake of magnitude 7.8, which could cause severe damage. It said residents throughout Japan should be prepared for a jolt.
A few minutes later the Meteorological Agency reported a magnitude 2.3 quake cantered in Wakayama prefecture, in western Japan. Under the Japanese system for measuring quakes, it barely registered.
Broadcaster NHK said the agency blamed electronic noise for triggering the apparently false alarm.
Japan beefed up its warning systems following a magnitude 9 earthquake and tsunami in March 2011 that killed more than 18,000 people.
It was noticable in radar too. A red spot developed a bit SE of airport all of a sudden, but dissipated quickly. Looks like it was velachery and other areas to the south
Chengelpet and Kanchi areas might get the most today. The areas surrounding those, not the whole district. But decent rainfall possible for cheyyur covalam stretch too
Yesterday’s feeble off shore trough extending from South Gujarat coast
to Maharashtra coast persists. Southwest Monsoon moderate to strong
over North East, Central Arabian Sea and South East Arabian Sea and moderate over South West Arabian Sea.

Can they make it 3 in a row?
Yes, i read about this news,
KEA, we too get this temp in chennai in May.
but there is no death, probably they dont have humidity factor,
Also there was a recent storm in NW pacific which crossed coast for from south of Shanghai, so the moisture over Shanghai has been pulled by that system, which is the reason for more heat and less humidity, so the death.
ppl die in Europe when temp crosses 35.

@ Kea Bloggers– HTC one X+ Vs Galaxy s3 /4..I was about to go for samsung,now this debate has confused me..can I get the final word?
If you want to minimize regret – buy the efficient S3/S4. Downside is a plasticky phone. If you want to maximize glee – buy the beautiful HTC One X. Downside is you are screwed iff things go wrong with your phone. Decision depends on the nature of person you are 😀
@ashwinds– aptly put…I have decided!!
go for HTC anyday
would have been my advice too – before I endured their (dis)service
Gopal
What have you decided to buy?
HTC or S3/S4?

@Parthasari– I had Samsung in my mind before Kea put his foot down..I am again back to limbo state!!although most reviews tend to state Ashwinds..i.e. HTC is definitely way ahead,but suspect on service
what is wrong with service? My HTC one screen broke in 11 months, sent it for repair. They replaced the screen free of cost.
Within 2 weeks it broke again. They changed it again. Its working fine now for almost 5 months.
u have HTC butterfly rite?
a HTC Desire has now spent more time going back and forth to the service center than being used. Been fighting a battle with them for over 3 months – 4 trips already and each time they send it back without even checking if the issue was resloved. They agreed to replace it about 3 weeks back – still no news 😛
I personally prefer the Nexus line: regardless of manufacturer because I think Google makes sure the manufacturer are kept honest. Not to forget that updates are always first if you use a Nexus and the lack of bloatware.

I am sure that you will not use 1 mobile for more than 2 years.
BTW any reason you are looking at One X+?
HTC One is their latest
HTC is really Good.
I have purchased HTC Windows CE Touch in 2004 (Model D600) @ Rs.29,500/- + 2GB MC for Rs.4500/- till today its working fine, no problem, i haven’t faced any problem in that.
HTC is one of the best option.

Since I moved to Android around 30 months ago, I have bought 4 HTC’s and happy with all of them

Flash News: Japan get Big Earth Quake
Japan’s Meteorological Agency says it is investigating after it issued an alert for a very strong earthquake that turned out to be only a mild shake.
Loud alarms rang from cellphones and TVs just before 5 p.m. Japan time on Thursday, warning of an earthquake of magnitude 7.8, which could cause severe damage. It said residents throughout Japan should be prepared for a jolt.
A few minutes later the Meteorological Agency reported a magnitude 2.3 quake cantered in Wakayama prefecture, in western Japan. Under the Japanese system for measuring quakes, it barely registered.
Broadcaster NHK said the agency blamed electronic noise for triggering the apparently false alarm.
Japan beefed up its warning systems following a magnitude 9 earthquake and tsunami in March 2011 that killed more than 18,000 people.

It was noticable in radar too. A red spot developed a bit SE of airport all of a sudden, but dissipated quickly. Looks like it was velachery and other areas to the south
Decent chance of rain tonight, good sea breeze too
Chengelpet and Kanchi areas might get the most today. The areas surrounding those, not the whole district. But decent rainfall possible for cheyyur covalam stretch too
Foreca predicts notable rain tonight..
foreca changed its forecast since morning
Yes Partha ..that is the reason i have put this post…Foreca prediction rarely work outs for Chennai
Till Now – Nothing for Central Chennai & North Chennai
* Based on Radar
Chances for Pondichery, cuddalore, vandavasi today.
Kanchi is in for sure shot today, the TS over west of Kanchi is becoming bigger.
