Hi all,

I am thinking to grab a HTC One likely the next price drop (it's around 2k for quite some time). Here's a few questions that I wish to know more about.

1. I will intend to unlock and root my device as I really dig the DT2W or tap the logo to wake (power button is too far away at the top la), as well as the Modaco Switch thingy. I figure I could retain my warranty if I use the RevOne method instead of HTCDev, but would like to hear more on this matter. Any idea if I should pick a Brightstar set over a SIS one for this matter as well?

2. I really like the black version. To me, it's more sleek looking but it is susceptible to dents around the chamfers and scratches/scuff for the aluminium. Any real-life reports (I have read about discussion on XDA and I think scuffing is not really an issue)? I use my phone NAKED and I am not interested in using a casing. I might go for a bumper if it doesn't affect the grip of the phone too much. I am okay with the silver version, but am worried that the white plastic will turn yellowish over time (again it will be naked). Any advice or comments? (Red is too much for me, LOL!)

I think small chip is fine, a Sharpie can hide it easily. I was considering Butterfly S before mainly for its less vulnerable plastic case but figure it was too big for me. Need to stretch thumb to drag the notification bar when hand in default position.

So it's either to hunt down an old stock with the 4.1 out of the box or wait for revone to support the newer HBOOT. I don't mind using it stock for a few months until revone manages to support the newer HBOOT.
