Double tap home

So getting this phone. I think it's sexier than the butterfly.

Wait for s4 to come out.
Then price drop and buy HTC one. Lol

Just waiting for the price to drop. My phone is almost a year old. Sometimes I think its not worth changing it. But lifespan of an electronic is only 2 years these days. A couple of months when the price drop it would be the perfect time to change.

Actually if we think about it, its two different market.
butterfly is built for more robust users.
The other one is mainly for mainstream users.

i think its gonna be on screen 3 dots bar?
but coming from custom roms, i remap every button on my phone to make things easier. hardly use recent apps button as well.
can remap long press or short press, or even double click like what htc did. double tap home = recent apps.

don't need navigation bar.
can appear anywhere on top or bottom or left or right.

One phone to rule them all..

The timing is weird. usually it doesn't take that long for it to arrive.

Timing is of essence. They should start penetrating the market while the cake is still hot. Since samsung have way more marketing budget than them, its hard for htc to keep the hype up till April/may.

but then again. Htc market share in Malaysia is meh.....

I think the best part of this phone is the Micro usb is finally at the right place.

true enough. looking things in a different perspective. i think they wanna focus on other regions first.

Malaysia? not very big pot of gold only la...

in overseas, their rate of signing up a phone with plans are cheap. (of course you don't compare with conversation rate, dollar to dollar) sometimes even free.

in Malaysia, you still need to pay RM 1k plus to get a phone. that naturally narrow the target market. Market is one thing. but need to factor in your target market. In Malaysia, only the mid to high income groups are capable of owning this phone. With that being said, middle income also don't change their phones every now and then.

Sorry, cant give definite answer to your question. What i say is based on my personal speculations. I do not represent HTC or neither do i work for them.
The launch are all based on contracts with telcos.

Maybe, they will be bringing in the Htc one contract free ( or unlocked version as referred to by others) earlier than mentioned. That has always been the case for most not so popular android phones though priorities are given to telco first.

My major concern is battery life. Either than that, i'm pretty ok with everything.

sounds to me like zoe with drink up alot of battery

pre-order with who?

yes. it's the tegra chips that are hard to s-off.
ini qualcomm i heard easier

that one can only use on RRP lei.
dont really save that much in the end

with custom roms/kernels, it is highly possible.

low heat is such a bonus these days. My current one x multitask abit heat lai liao. =.='

Htc one will be HTC only flagship phone for 2013.

Which means more focus will be put on this phone. faster updates etc etc.
