I like the design, it really does look great. The unibody looks good and I like how they didn't use plastic, like some other brands. It looks solid and clean. Ive seen people saying it looks a lot like the iPhone 5, but when comparing the two pictures side by side I see so much differences that I have to disagree.
I dont quite think HTC added a lot of new functionalities in there though. Can't wait for the benchmarks and reviews. Also, I can't wait to see what Samsung comes up with to compete with this.

Price is estimated around 699 Euros over here.

Thoughts?

My god that looks sweet. I have HTC One V atm and I love it. Hopefully this will be an option for my upgrade next year

Ikr, I'm loving the design very much. Gotta give credits to that to HTC. I'm currently still using my HTC Wildfire and will buy a new phone soon. Gonna wait for the Galaxy S4 (which the release is rumored to be at March 14 by some pretty thrustworthy sources) and then compare the phones to see which one will be my next new toy. I do hope the S4 will look better than the S3 tho. The S3 has a very, unique design. But comparing it to the One I like the One much much better.

Looks good hardware and software wise. Hopefully they do upgrade it to 4.2.2.

Have to wonder what they're doing with the HTC Butterfly though, what's the point of having two flag ship devices? That are sort of similar in specs. Should be good though, not a fan of the 'new' sense especially he dock, to me it looks amatuer'ish compared to what they were doing around Gingerbread time.

well the front cam only has 2.1 MP cam and say nothing about the back cams MP, thats kinda a deal breaker for me.

4MP according to the press at the event but they use 'ultra pixels' which are supposedly better.

At the launch event in the US, an HTC official said, "For years, people have been misled about what is important in a camera - what matters is not pixel count, but pixel size. Bigger pixels let in more light, it's simple physics... We're trying to balance out what a lens can support and what a sensor can support. We're talking about real image quality, not just megapixels for the sake of megapixels. The era of the megapixel is over."

LOL, BULLSHIT. thats what they just said there.

it looks so fucking hot.
and @ the op, they do use plastic bodies, it's just special plastic. (polycarbonate afaik)

and htc cameras are beyond comparison, i'm sure becca would agree ._.

It's actually a unibody aluminum body. Or so they say on their website. Are they? I thought the One X and the S3 were really close to each other camera wise. And for the best cameras I'd say Nokia cameras are the best..

It does look great huh ^^,

No it's not bullshit. I'm not saying it's everything they claim it be, but the technology behind the sensor has been around for a while now and does quite a bit better at low light.
The main reason why it's not used that much, aside that people like yourself who don't understand anything about sensors will believe high MP phone cams to be better, is that you will get a much lower resolution in comparison. Because of better techniques it's only now that it's starting to be something that can be properly used.
Personally I think HTC made a great choice on the camera, this megapixel nonsense on phones is absolute bullshit. HD screens are only 2MP, yet we get phones with 8-12 MP, for what exactly? To zoom in on the absolute shit quality that's 100% on such a tiny sensor?
I much rather have 4-5MP with proper quality, then those shitty 8-12MP sensors in Samsungs etc.

Anyway HTC made some great calls with this phone, I like the camera, I like the design, I like their partially copied interface from MS, I like the screen etc. There is just so much to like about this. Don't get me wrong, I'm no fan of Android, but as far as the phone goes, I truly believe HTC did a great job on this phone. It's a shame it's so expensive, because it would be nice to see them take back some of the market from Samsung, because my issue with Samsung is that they just make the same shit over and over, yes it works, yes it's fast, but they keep sticking with the same ideas over and over, which is basically, faster and higher resolution.

so what your saying is no one share these photos on pc, tv, dital photo frames?, oh make sence then....

Ive had quite a few of the new HTC phones. Most of them run games like Asphalt 7 and Modern Combat 4 perfectly. There's no lag. Ill be getting this and seeing how it is.

What part of HD screens only being 2MP don't you understand? Do the math, 1920x1080. Surprise surprise, it's roughly 2MP.
