The home button placement on the HTC One makes me really hate the device, especially because it's where it is because of a logo.
Gross.

I'm abandoning the iPhone ship.
My black iPhone 5 is going to my wife and a black htc One has been preordered on Amazon. 😱

I would def do the same if it came to Verizon. 🙁
Why did you get the black one? I heard the silver one had more presence from all of the hands on videos by tech reviewers.

Two reasons really.
1. Don't like white. If the white bits were silver I might have considered it.
2. For reason 1 I don't like the screen to not match it's surrounds.

I will be getting one when they are available in the states. I have had every iPhone since the beginning, and I love Apple products but I really like the features and looks of the One.

Aye. That's why you have to imagine it.
Really, it would have set the world on fire. The aesthetics and build quality are already very iPhone-like.
Then imagine that iOS 6 had offered some of the many things the jailbreaking community have been enjoying.
Would have likely won me back.
EDIT: Someone with some mad photoshopping skills should do a render of an HTC One running iOS... what could've been the iPhone 5.

Its funny how some experiences can put one off, I have seen a couple of my friends with older and clunkier (UI) HTC models and TBH, they have watered down my enthusiasm for this phone. I like the look of this one though.

Same here. Just don't trust htc.
Either way, doesn't hurt to see what the s4 brings before deciding.

oh oh! I might have to cancel my preorder. HTC is having problems producing the camera.

Apple, too, has had component delays and no one cancels their order. Keep the faith!

This. And their notorious lack of battery management. Makes it hard to jump on board despite its good looks.

I was under the impression all of the Samsung phones are still at 4.1. Which is that the one x currently has. And the only complaint I've heard from the many htc owners I know is poor battery life in some instances. Sense is one of the better UIs as far as usability goes. It's still a pig though in some cases. Hopefully htc fixed that with sense 5. Can't wait to get my hands on the one.

Seemingly positive news about battery life on the HTC One:

Officially DELAYED in UK. Expansys provide the online shop/ordering for HTC.
Bad news folks.....
Those expecting them on the 14th/15th it's been delayed for a week.... They now have 22nd pencilled in at Expansys (though they had expected stock for the 8th - with delivery of phones for the 14/15th to customers)...
So it now looks like end of next week, begging of the week after...
That's not good for HTC as it gives people who pre-ordered plenty of opportunity to looks at the SGS4 especially if they announce it's shipping soon after launch/reveal.....

They can show the release date, it doesn't mean they will have it. The release date is an estimated release date. ;-)
If Expansys who are HTC's official online distributor for the UK is saying 22nd, one has to assume they will be one, if not the first to get it.
