Normally the European price is inclusive of tax....
You have to exclude it if you wanna know the rough street price.

Anyway, i'm quite agree with HTC decision for the camera sensor.
Quote from DPreview "The combination of the large-photosite sensor, a fast F2.0 lens and optical image stabilization make the HTC One look, at least on paper, like the smartphone camera to beat in 2013, especially if low-light photography is high-up on your agenda. And on a phone the low-megapixel approach makes a lot of sense. After all, most of the time you will be sharing low-res versions of your images online, and most editing apps don't support high-resolution output at this point in time."

I am worried for their 4mp ultrapixel sensor lah..
htc should promote and explain more about this 4mp camera of theirs
who want to spent rm2000+ for a phone that just have 4mp of resolution?
knowing htc's PR in the past, I really worried..

Htc one vs nexus 4 in low light conditions.. Not that impressive i must sat

both really looks close, One have lesser bit bit noise 

my point is, htc gave up on mp war. that is right, but the downsizing they took is too big, even at 0% zoom, i can see that the ip5 camera is sharper.
