I'd say yeah, get it. If you don't want a phablet then it's really your only choice with higher-end specs. Battery life is outstanding. Camera is the best I've ever used (with especially quick shutter time, crisp pics). Screen is real nice.
That said, the mostly very minor issues I've experienced in the last 2 wks:
- you can't set separate volumes for ringer and notifications; there's one slider that controls both
- agreed with others that the volume rocker is a tad too flush (although this is something I've adjusted to)
- there aren't as many (any) power saving settings as my Gingerbread HTC phone, but then again the battery life is great to begin with
- can't move apps to SD card (ICS "feature"?)
- and the biggest issue I have -- when using gmail with the stock HTC mail app, any new mail (er, any changes to the inbox at all) do not change/sync automatically unless I choose "refresh" from the menu. Hence not getting any notifications of new mail. This is a big issue based on my google searches, and affects not just gmail but Hotmail, Yahoo, etc when using the stock mail app on many HTC phones running ICS. Most people say, "just use the gmail app". I could, but don't want to.
Btw I got mine for $50 on newegg mobile. Very quick shipment, no issues.
