I admit I haven't read every word of every post but it doesn't sound too good from the skimming I've done.
My first "smartphone" was an EVO 4G and everyone here was so into that particular phone that I was convienced that I had purchased the absolutely BEST smart phone on the market. Add to that the incredible help from EVERYONE here. But time marches on and I eventually found myself sold into an HTC Desire 510 ( still not 100 5 positive about that ) The phone needed to be replaced ( Boost Network ) and in complete honesty my EVO was jacked to run on the Boost network. I still loved that phone but the mumbo jumbo that the people who work in the Boost stores sold me on the fact that the Desire was a quadcore while my Evo was a dual core. The only part of the EVO that sucked was the phone memory and all of the messages I got saying " resources were low " Once again the guys ( and girls here helped me to keep the phone active especially after needing to return the Desire and since the couldn't fix it they sent me a new one 6 weeks after sending it in. I had 17 days left on my monthly contract and by then I got shamed into buying a Samsung Gal 5s and moving over to Verizon. So the service wasn't better, the S5 has been replaced 3 times, and I'm still paying for it until Feb 2017.
Here's where we come to the HTC 10. a couple of nights ago I did one of those general searches: " what is the BEST HTC smartphone. First up came the HTC One 9 A but the info seemed dated. Then I discovered the HTC One 9 M and then the HTC 10. In the process I've been told by several carriers that they were no longer carrying HTC. Hmmm now what's up with that? I did find a few HTC 10's offered on Amazon ( all international versions ) Best buy claimed to have it but when I went there today the manager of the mobile department said they didn't have many HTC phones and maybe I needed to order it online.
Has HTC lost their way?
That Desire 510 that I own is said to be stuck on kitkat. Guess what. I have it loaded with Lollipop and use it around the house on my network. Since upgrading to Lollipop the battery lasts for days.
Sorry for the digression. I think I still want to find and buy a 10 but I'm not going to pay some absurd price for a phone from a company that might be going belly up.
Are there ROM's for it? Is it even worth fooling around with this phone which was promised and not easy to find?
If I find one I'll let ya know.
