Who has it? Got it yesterday on my Nexus. It's definitely different and takes some getting used to, but overall I like it.

I used Developer Preview 3 months ago on my Nexus7. I'm waiting for the HTC One m8 version. Its a massive change, huh?



The thing I don't like is notifications block the recommended menu area for the previous version of Android.

I dont like how you have to swipe up to unlock the phone too. I have a security feature already in place (pattern option to unlock). So I now have to swipe up on the lock screen, and then enter my pattern lock to get to the phone. It seems like there are a lot of things that now take 2 or 3 actions to do something, where as previous versions only took 1 or 2. I also didnt like that they took away the gallery but I downloaded a Gallery app that gives it back like previous versions.

I've switched to Photos for a long time now. I think it works better than Gallery.

I'm still on the HTC EVO LTE Jellybean with Sense4+, you have to swipe up to unlock the screen, then enter you password to unlock the phone.



DTN hear any updates on the next HTC Flagship? Really wish they would bring the built in kickstand back, like the EVO models.
