When I knew I could I could upgrade from my Dinc 4G LTE, I decided to look around. While there was nothing wrong with my Dinc, I'm a geek and always interested in what's out there.
I've seen the ever-playing commercials for the HTC One on TV so I went to Verizon's web site to see what's what. I saw the One and the One Max. I decided to read about the differences. When I read about the One Max; the bigger screen, SD card slot, etc., I thought "There's the one !"
I went to the store, asked to see it, the really helpful Verizon dude took me over to it. First impression ? "HOLY CRAP !!"
That thing is HUGE, especially coming off a Dinc 4G. My upgrade day was still a week off, I had time to think.
I went home, read about it and really considered if I needed a phone that large. Trade day came, to be honest, I was torn between the One and the One Max. Obviously from this post location, you know which one I chose.
And I'm really glad I did. Watching videos (CinemaNow and Flixster) is amazing. Copied all my music from my old phone to this one (over 6gb worth). The music app actually scrolls the lyrics to the songs as they play, not needed, I know, but pretty cool nonetheless. The sound quality is well known at this point. I'm sure everyone is aware of all the features, so I won't repeat them here.
I had a spare 32gb SanDisk SD card from my Surface and popped it in my Max. Of course I'll upgrade to a 64gb, but I just ordered the HTC D180 car dock kit, the card upgrade will have to wait. While my wife is more than understanding in my "geek needs", I can't blow too much cash back to back. She's the sensible one.
