I was just watching a video of the One's Sense 5, and it seems they got rid of that carousel-style task switcher and replaced it with a page where the running apps appear as large preview tiles in a grid.

But it's a 3 x 3 grid, so it's *totally* different than BB10, lol...

Do you have a link to the video? That sounds like Android OS.

around the 2:00 mark.

Doesn't stock android have a vertical list with little icons that you can swipe off sideways?

Got ya... thanks. yes, you are correct.

Not with that huge hump on the back of it lol

That's what I said. They look just like the Droid X besides the back...

[randall2580]

Naw, it's aluminum. That would make it more like, the iphone. The Z10 looks like an iphone too. Tech companies worship apple.

HTC has an agreement with Apple now - they for one, don't have to worry about a lawsuit

More than copying them a "Little" quite a lot, down to their own "Story Maker" app

And a camera that is capable of 5 frames before you push the shutter and 15 after. ...

[djh_wolf]

That's one sexy piece of kit. Yum.

[BoldtotheMax]

I for one don't care how much these devices look like or resemble each other, but rather how well the OS runs and man does the ONE really look appealing. Going to definitely check this out.

There's even a red one! LoL.

Red HTC One Future Remains Unclear

I can't tell if this thread consists of insanely one sided people or its for comedic relief.

I hope its the second option.

I though so too when I first saw it :-(
Couldn't they come with something better?

Just little stuff, nothing to worry about. Z10 is the one and only!

It also has an always smile mode

Looks like time shift.

[djh_wolf]

To be brutally honest, a company could bring out a phone with a camera twice as good as the Z10's, a faster processor, latest android, a battery that lasts 4 days, and the dominant opinion in these parts would still be "BB10's better!".

This phone looks interesting. Got to say though, I enjoy customising the look of my homescreen. Does anyone know if the "sliding social feeds" look is set in stone, or is is customisable to a more BB or iphone look ? If I could swap that scrolly-crap for a few homescreens of icons and folders, I'd be in.

Apparently the Blinkfeed thing can be customised or turned off.
It's an Android, so at the moment the customisation and personalisation options would be light years ahead of BB10.
It will however be outddated fairly quickly as most Androids are, and resale value will tank quickly.
Having said that, my Z10, bought at 480 quid about 3 weeks ago, can now be resold for about 300, which isn't great.

The bottom and top bezel also looks similar to the one on the Z10

...which in turn looks similar to those found in several other (and older!) phones.

Holy cow..... Can Blackberry sue HTC for patent infringement?

They have no patent on that... And while the functionality is identical, it isn't done the same way as time shift.

I was looking on CNET today and saw pics of the brand new HTC One phone. I couldn't help but see a little of the white Z10 in what I saw.

See, in the edges are angular, similar to the Z10

So, who copied who?

lg optimus 3d -- Available July 7, 2011


Blackberry Z10 -- Available January 31, 2013


HTC One -- Available March 2013

Not really seeing as BlackBerry licensed the tech from Scalado. Scalado provide this tech to Nokia devices as well.
HTC implement it differently, in many ways better.
Time Shift needs to be done on the spot for each pic.
HTCs version saves the 3 second bursts in your gallery, so you can go do the time shift on any of them later, from your gallery.
That's pretty cool.

That would also result in big files.

This. Separate option would be best.

[bobauckland]

Posted via CB10

Absolutely, but I would certainly like the option to go back and play with files later.
With 4MP pics they may not be that huge either.
More features will surely be better though.
