There is a way, but it is more complicated, iirc something to do with a RUU file, sorry not much help
Wow, it turns out the HTC logo is actually a capacitive button 
Guy has remapped it so now you lock the phone by touching it (and waking the phone up by hitting the home button) or using it as the menu button

Nexus18: "Wow, it turns out the HTC logo is actually a capacitive button"
That's CRAZY. Surely that's fake, why on earth would HTC do that?!
(That TV ad is a lot better than the UK one I just saw set on a tube carriage highlighting blinkfeed)

Is there any reason why not many people are ordering sim free from phones4u which seems to be the cheapest at £489?
Is it just the stigma of having to order from them or something else. I've just placed my order for this (my first android phone) and was curious.
On another note really looking forward to getting the phone. I had a HTC touch HD running windows 6.1/6.5 many moons ago (great hardware even then) and have gone through various upgrades of iphones and am currently running a Lumia 920 but I'm finding the windows eco system too limited.
Looking forward to seeing what android has instore!

See that's weird because there's no message like that on the page for me at any stage of the process. I bought one anyway. Didn't realise it was back in stock at CPW... argh... but at least this way I know it's not gonna be locked. Delivery estimate currently 25th March, which is odd because I've got Prime.
Not fake
No idea, extremely stupid decision. If I had to guess, I would say something to do with the blackberry devices and the way their logo works, perhaps they will "activate" it with a software update???
Yup, HTC really are hammering away at the marketing area this time, I just hope they keep it up throughout the year as with the one series phones, the marketing just died slowly where as Samsung had a constant high level throughout the year.
They have a real winner of a device that is getting a lot of attention world wide now and from looking around internet forums etc. it seems like the majority of people prefer it to the GS 4, I haven't seen a poll etc. where the one has lost yet, check out android police poll on the right hand side:

I am also seeing a lot of iphone 5 owners moving to the HTC one, just like what happened last year with the iphone 4s owners and the GS 3.......
Lets just hope HTC can sort the stock out though but with the latest news about nokia and the mic situation, I can see this delaying the handsets even further.......
@Robbo
I would be very surprised if it is since the guy who done it is a highly rated ROM/kernel developer, he has even uploaded the boot image for people to use

It's so bizarre how they didn't bother to include the HTC button in the original release.
If you map the HTC button to do something will it void the warranty?

However, iirc you can relock your bootloader........

I'll give it a miss then. I'm not bothered about the HTC button. I just wondered if I could add extra functionality for free without voiding the warranty.
Got it back today. Not impressed at all. I have a new IMEI number but I don't think it was a much of a replacement.
The screen still isn't flush at the top and the gap at the top is much bigger.
Plus the bottom of the phone was dirty and quite weird how they didn't turn the phone off before sending it to me. However the only positive thing is that there's no longer a dent on the bottom speaker grill and the plastic shavings are gone. The bezel feels a lot smoother now.

Early reports from HTC was that there was nothing behind the logo meaning it could never be turned into a button. Dont see the plus in HTC promoting that view when loads of people were moaning that there was only 2 buttons
Think that is the same for me too, Contract up next month & today has been a really nice day but because of that I haven't been able to see the screen on my N4 it is pretty much awful in sunlight, My S2 was much better. Just don't know if I can handle HTC's skinning
1.28 VS 1.29 firmware for camera:
First one is automatic mode, second is set to ISO 100
Unfortunately no full screen/size versions.
Would love to have seen a comparison to the 1.26 firmware, which a lot of the very early review sites were using.....
