Beats Audio Wants to Ditch HTC
Poor HTC
I feel so bad for them. They came out with an effing BEAUTIFUL phone in the One X (and One XL here stateside), but their software was half-assed and the hardware limitations (1gb of RAM was on the verge of being obsolete even at that point) caused serious lag after the carriers touched it. And the audio/speakers were awesome! I thought the One X was/is the best looking phone ever! I just wish they'd given more concern to the software/hardware of the phone. The One is a fugly tin can-looking POS. It's already cheap at Wal-Mart! $149 w/contract. So now you can't give an HTC away. Who can blame Beats for wanting to get off a sinking ship?:-(

Are you kidding me? The HTC One is a sexy piece of hardware. The hardware is amazing and the software is so fast and wonderful. It is currently the best phone on the market. And having the speakers in the front of the device is such a small but amazingly important choice. The One is leaps and bounds beyond the One X was.

Are you serious? The One is one of the most beautifully engineered smartphones out there. Right up there with the iPhone. To each his own I guess. Also One sales aren't dismal either. They're not as good as the Galaxy of course but they are selling. A Verizon version will definitely help sales. Many have been waiting for it. Not everybody wants a Galaxy S4 or an iPhone

i love my HTC One!
After using launchers and unlocking the boot loader, I have really come back to the Sense 5 experience and love it all over again. I don't use HTC mail, and some of the bloat is, well, bloat. But Sense 5 is really wonderful. And the HTC One is an amazingly satisfying smartphone. I don't know what there is not to like?
Perhaps, you don't like that it is aluminum. Perhaps the band of white plastic which dips into the Aluminum throws you off, or maybe it's the Ultra Pixel camera. I really like how each of these add to this phone.
I wish it was compatible with NFC for Google Wallet, and i wish it came initially with an unlocked boot loader. And i wish that it was CDMA and GSM like the Verizon iPhone. But honestly, i'm...

Yeah, I'm gonna totally disagree on the looks of the One. It reminds me strongly of the iPhone 5's front-end with a back-end that feels like my thermos. ugh. And sales are most definitely not strong, as Wal-Mart discounted it by $50 within a month of it's coming out. At one point, one retailer I was at had it and the GS3 at the same price point. That's sad.

It doesn't take a genious to design a phone that people will like, and will sell. In fact, almost any idiot could do it, but apparently HTC can not. They design their own phones, they make their own phones based on their own ideas. How can you feel bad for them when they make a bad product? If it was a good product, more people would buy it, and this post probably wouldn't be here.
They sunk themselves by making stupid decisions, like putting phone electronics in the plastic flimsy back covers (See: Sensation, Amaze). By making devices that people don't even know exist or buy (See: Windows phone 8X) and by making huge mistakes like sealing a battery, and getting a repair rating of 1 out of 10 (see: HTC One).
