***The Official HTC One Thread***

I think all of these phones are a lot cheaper to make than what people think (same goes for anything tbh). There is an article which shows detailed info. etc. that the iphone 5 in fact only costs about $200 to make (that is £126), and as much as I don't like apple :p they do use good components and put the devices together extremely well and to the highest quality, so google/LG will still be making a profit from the nexus 4 imo.

Granted that doesn't cover the costs of the "overheads" etc. but there was another detailed post/article about that too and surprisingly it didn't add much to the cost! :eek: Can't find it at the minute, will link if/when I find it.

What the **** have they done with the multi-tasking button!?!?!?! :confused: If they have actually got rid of that and don't have some tweak/gesture in order to bring the multi-tasking window then that could be a deal breaker for me.

Don't mind the htc logo being at the top, but right in between those 2 buttons at the bottom..........seriously?!?!

I was expecting htc to do something stupid but to do something that stupid......:o

Hate white phones, so will reserve judgement until I see the black model, but overall for the design of the front, I think it looks all right, nowhere as nice as the one S/X design though :( Speakers being on the front is a huge pro though!

Speakers on the front looks horrendous. Why not the side like the iPhone. :(

I bet they've ripped off BlackBerry 10's gestures at the last minute, with the logo being where it is... :D

I can't say that looks in any way an improvement on the design of the current One phones either?

Probably due to the design of the phone robbo, assuming that they have made it quite curvy like the DNA....and it will sound better/louder when watching a video

Haven't followed the blackberry stuff at all really, please tell me it is at least good! :p

IMO most definitely not either :(

Hopefully the rear will be nice!
 
On the Z10 you swipe up from the BlackBerry logo and it acts as a kind of button, that could be how you'll access multitasking on the One:

Ah, if they do that, then that is ok! Although still sucks as opposed to just having a button, not only does it seem completely pointless but it ruins the design by having that logo there, this is why I would have loved on screen buttons, more flexibility when you root etc. :(
