Cnet Review: The gorgeous HTC One is a winner
Userlevel 7
[As HTC's new flagship smartphone, the HTC One is packed to the rafters with top-notch components and technologies including some of the latest processing gear from Qualcomm. In addition to being state of the art, the successor to 2012's HTC One X is lovingly crafted from premium metals, leaving no doubt that the Taiwanese smartphone manufacturer has put a considerable amount of blood, sweat, and tears into this handset.]

The camera and speed of the phone are excellent. ;)
Wouldn't you mind to test your HTC One as per below instructions? :D
Impressive resistance! I am sure Galaxy S4 wouldn't survive even the first three minutes of the test.
I cannot wait to have HTC One in hand. Hope it will be available on our market within May.

I've seen it here and it's very nice but I can't justify the $149.99CAD to get the phone and $75.00CAD + 13% Taxes a month for.@ wrote:

I think I will stick with AT&T for now and switch in 2 years if I am dissapointed. Thanks for the info! 😃

When I was running all 48 States in an 18 wheeler Verizon was #1 for reception and I believe still is. 😉@ wrote:

I stand corrected. I just spoke with Verizon Wireless.
1. Their prepaid plans do not support 4G, only 3G. Both the Galaxy SIV and the HTC One are 4G. At this point, Verizon does not support HTC One.
2. There are two prepaid 3G plans available from Verizon. The $60 per month plan is unlimited minutes, unlimited text, and 500 mb of internet; the $70 per month plan is unlimited minutes, unlimited text, and 2 gb of internet. But this is for a standard phone, not a smartphone.
Looks like you'll need to go with a contract plan with Verizon for the Galaxy SIV and the HTC One (if and when it is supported).
I think I got that right.

Yep - I am in Colorado and I work out of our Broomfield headquarters! Does the $50.00/month plan come with LTE data and unlimited texting?
Userlevel 6
Mike, I assume you're in Colorado? BTW, beautiful place. I love it out there, particularly the mountains. I seem to recall, several years ago, when I had Verizon, making cell phone calls from the top of Veil Mountain and the reception was crystal clear.
Anyway, here in the Northeast, Verizon is unquestionably the king of the hill receptionwise. They just came out with a new $50/month no contract prepaid deal, which sounds pretty good and is probably designed to compete with T-Mobile's $50/month no contract prepaid plan. BTW, T-Mobile has announced it is abandoning its contract plans altogether.
Please keep us informed about the HTC One.

I was actually thinking of switching to Verizon for the same reception issues with AT&T. Their prices are a bit steeper but I may consider the change after this contract ends.
I will get my HTC One on the 19th and I will let you know how I like it. I want the HTC because of the premium quality and time they took with the unique design - performance wise, I think both phones are very impressive. I think it comes down to the details like battery life and the cameras.

Mike, I used to be with Verizon (I was with them for years), but they started to charge for everything and I grew tired of it, so I switched to T-Mobile on a $50/month pre-paid no contract plan. The plan is good, but in the Northeast, T-Mobile doesn't compare with Verizon insofar as reception is concerned. In fact, Verizon has the best reception in my part of the country, bar none. I may be switching back to Verizon because of the reception issue. However, I'm told that my T-Mobile Samsung SII (unlocked) is not compatible with the Verizon network, so if I switch, I'll have to buy a new phone. Now, the question becomes, which way to go ... Samsung SIV or HTC One (assuming Verizon adopts HTC)?
Userlevel 7
Yes, that is the 2 year contract price. I was suprised to see that T-Mobile was getting it to be honest. They may still announce Verizon availability - I personally have AT&T.

Hi, Petr. Great hearing from you, and thanks for the inquiry. I'm fine.
Thanks for the comparative review. Very helpful. I added it to my favorites list.
Is everything copasetic in the Czech Republic? How's the new President doing?

Hi, Mike.
I assume the $199.99 is a two year contract price? Also, I'm surprised Verizon is not listed as a carrier. Man, that's a great looking device. I'm a Samsung guy, but this thing's got my attention.

I am literally counting down the days! My phone is causing quite the headache (shuts down randomly, sends texts to the wrong person, and goes to the home screen after entering 70% of a phone number I want to call).

Hi, guys. A few questions about the HTC One:
1. Mike, what's the price at Best Buy?
2. Which carriers can you use the HTC One with?
3. What advantages/disadvantages do you see about the HTC One as compared with the Samsung Galaxy S4?
2. HTC One Availability
3. I think the performance and speed will be about the same. The quality of the HTC One looks amazing compared to the S4 and I think the Ultra Pixel camera looks amazing. The S4 does have Gorilla 3 glass whereas the HTC has the older and weaker Gorilla 2 (I can just replace the phone over and over if my screen cracks so this doesn't really affect me). Also, the HTC has better sound quality with the built in speakers.

Hi Richard,
Hope everything's alright with you in NY.
As for your questions, sorry I can't speak for 1. and 2., it's different here in EU. Regarding your last question I kindly draw your attention to this comprehensive comparison. It should answer all your questions about the both devices and their pros and cons.

It looks like as a very good deal with Best Buy!@ wrote:
That's what I was thinking! And if I decide it gets splotchy or dirty too easily, I can just replace it at Best Buy unlimited times.
