This special edition device, priced at $599, will be available in the United States (initially) and supported on GSM networks. Out of the box, this special edition HTC One will run Android 4.2.2 with subsequent software updates provided by Google.

hmm something I might consider.

i'll wait for it to come down to about $500NZD before I look at buying it tho.

[swindle]

Buuuuuut why?

By the time you see it drop that far in price it will be old tech. Like, really old tech.

[Benji77]

have spent $1000 on a phone before. Was great phone but compared to the Galaxy Nexus I got for $500 it wasn't worth it.

[Emrico1]

Me? But I look like the guy from Malcom in the middle... How could you be jealous of that?

The phone is baws though.

[Emrico1]

Nah, Malcom. I can only dream of looking like that handsom little bastard.

[mattnz]

They're going to fix their messed up buttons then?

[Pyromanik]

I have a mate who hates capacitive hw buttons.
Back in my day (HTC magic) they were cool.
But Android has come a long way since then.
I'd probably be inclined to agree these days.

[Retardobot]

I fucking hate soft buttons. I want them separate from the screen.

Also, I cracked the reverse glass on my Nexus 4. Accidentally dropped the keys on it.

[mattnz]

Well they're part of the Android specification now, and they're a lot more flexible.

[Growler]

You cracked the glass on your nexus by dropping keys on to it?

I dropped my Nokia N8 on the 22nd Feb 2011 at 12:51.........

[Retardobot]

Yeah. The backing is covered by a very thin glass panel. I dropped my keys on it from a very small height (phone was on bed, dropped keys onto phone from relaxed hand height). It may not have broken if the keys landed anywhere else than where it did; right at the opening for the speaker.

The biggest issue with the Nexus 4 is that it's smooth. TOO smooth. The hyper polished front and back means the phone slides around like water on a hydrophobic surface.

To be honest, I'd love a Note II.

[Growler]

Note 2 does look sexy.
