I prefer the design of the HTC One X more, but the One is a damn fine looking, all business, few gimmicks smart phone.
Got a tip for us?

I have never dropped a phone and had the screen crack. I once had a phone slip out of my pocket while getting in my car and then ran over it though...where's the test for that, huh!?
You mean like this one?

I am not a big htc person as I don't like sense but I personally thought the droid dna was better looking.

Just played with the One and WOW...stunning device. Best screen I've seen on a phone and build quality and design is phenomenal. Like what HTC did with the UI too. Responsive, smooth and great fonts. Didn't have an issue with power button placement either.
If I was in the market for a non-Apple flagship...no question. Might even trade my N4 for it.

It's the first time a phone has come out that makes me actually want to do the switch. I think the phone is beautiful and the OS looks great.
I'm debating it but waiting for a little more real world testing of it, seeing how the GS4 is and if Googles and Apples event has anything that catches my eye.
I'm still a huge Apple fan boy and will always be, they build great products. I have an iPad, 2 Apple TVs, MBP, iMac and an iPhone 5, but think it would be cool to mix it up a little and have an HTC One.

Had a play with a working model in the O2 shop in Harrogate this afternoon, the device is beautifully crafted with a screen to die for, I like the OS and was really impressed with Blinkfeed, bottom line is, IMHO, tis a stunner, and my first impression is that one would need to look far and wide to find a better phone.
4.7 inch screen on a phone the size of an Xperia Z...
Largest bezel in the industry...
People complain about Samsung making larger and larger devices, how about HTC making larger and larger bezels...
Pass, I'll gladly wait for the GS4!

Exageration is such a talent, I bet you are mighty at making mountains out molehills too......
Yeah I was gonna get this phone until I saw that drop-test video and this other video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V9mIqjICdYI&feature=youtube_gdata
I'll stick with my iPhone 5, thanks
The phone I ran over was an EVO 4G (during the year I was with Sprint, aka "the lost year") and the screen definitely was not operational afterward.
Form follows function.
People want the functionality, but also wants the form to fit their lifestyle and personality.
How is it any different from buying a car?
I could not agree more. It seems that looks of the phone are more important than anything. People just pass over most android phones because they are plastic. Sure I want a good looking phone, but I want it to work well too.
Well, I'll agree w/ you on this one. For iOS, it just doesn't work at all. So many people missing out on Android b/c they think plastic is cheap, when it is truly the highest build quality of any smartphone on the market.
HTC has been known for their designs the past couple of years.
The real issue these days is not design. It's HTC's (especially in the USA) lack of timely Android updates.
And of course HTC has never been know for good battery life.
I'll wait a few weeks to see what kind of reviews people are giving the HTC One before considering it.

Battery life from us who have the device here in Europe is very good all told. I'm getting through a medium-heavy day on 3G & Wifi with around 40-45% left on my battery.
Read the big HTC thread for the breakdown of daily activity etc..
The one is the first Android handset I've had where the battery life was consistent on a daily basis, previously with other Android devices it could be ok one day, then terrible the next.
You can bet ill be brutally honest about htc ones shortcomings if there are any. I'm known for it.
Ditto for any phone I may get in the future.

lol..... yes!! we all know
But try and appreciate the good stuff before you attack the bad, and when you make a list of it's problems (we all know what they are going to be at this stage .. i.e. Sense, button placement, power button) try and see if you can take a good point and counter balance it against each of the bad.
It makes the focus much more balanced
I try and do that with every device I get regardless of who its by too.I can see why you were banned now...every post is about how your iPhone is better...
He just enjoys trolling this forum section, his latest troll about how you have to have an iPhone if you want to attract girls was priceless in its moroseness and shows how utterly moribund his opinions are.
