    AnonD-204681, 21 Aug 2014Because Microsoft are paying them that's why. Why do you think they would make one when they k... morethat's one way of looking at it, another way to look at it is WP ecosystem gaining popularity and HTC could be trying to test to see how sales go, it's all in business

      This is enticing but is the OS support in HTC on par with Nokia? I was about to jump to Lumia 930 but I saw this and now I'm confused lol

        paco2x, 20 Aug 2014"No wonder OEMs are staying away from Windows Phone" Oh really? Then why HTC seem... moreBecause Microsoft are paying them that's why. Why do you think they would make one when they know it won't sell well? Microsoft is technically bribing manufacturers.

              Honestly, would go for this anytime over whatever Nokia (or whatever they are calling it these days) is pushing out.

                the problem with this os is when you look at it its ugly, i mean those tiles, but when you own it and arrange those to your own preference it just look gorgeous.

                      Looks better then Nokia? No way! in my opinion, but it's a matter of taste, I'll take the Nokias design over HTC any day

                            On screen keys look lame. Bad looking.. They shouldve stuck with the soft keys.

                              I have to say I can see this device doing particularly well in the enterprise not only in the consumer market. A little more conservative in colour (similar to the Lumia 925 style), some that businesses tend to go for.
                              Then providing what customers have asked for, a great screen 1080p and SD card.
                              Another great thing was the announcement and then availability virtually straight away compared to other WP releases. Well done HTC, I'm looking forward to this one arriving in Australia.

                              With Samsung's, LG, possibly Sony, and other devices marked as coming, it makes for an interesting time for Windows Phone. MS are really getting the OS right too with the latest updates - just nicely done.

                                  That's a tall phone for a 5" screen, those 3 buttons embedded in the screen make windows look ugly, and has a shitty camera (proved with the htc one). Nooooope!

There is no more distinctiveness if it is a HTC phone or Nokia because every... moreYes, than WP OS design is a monstrosity, front tiles, different sized text and plain colors....annnnd that is it. no wonder it doesnt need too much resources...20th century bits are calling
