No SD Card slot and iffy support
I really wanted to like this phone HTC, I really did. I have been looking for something to replace my Nexus S but this just won't cut it. 16 GB was fine two years ago, but now I need at least 32 GB (large music collection) and I want it in a smaller physical package.
My wife has a HTC One S that you stopped supporting. It doesn't imbue consumers with a lot of confidence when you drop support for a device that is not even two years old.
Try again HTC because I really want an alternative to Sammy.

The sad part is.... the One S is barely ONE year old. It was released in April 2012. So the phone was only a year old when they announced it was no longer supported. This was a couple weeks after I purchased mine... That makes me think it will be my l...

Pros & Cons..
I like the reduced size but:
Cons: 😎
1> The sides are plastic (unlike the One)
2> No camera stabilization
3> Smaller battery (waiting for review on how this will effect performance)
4> No NFC

6> The side and top buttons are easier to locate with fingers.
Summary: 🙂
My opinion it will be an even trade off between the One and the Mini One. I think the decision for anyone would be a personal preference between the 2 . I think I will go with the One instead of the...

2600MHz???
Yikes. Which company in Europe operates LTE at such a ridiculously high frequency? You can forget about that signal penetrating through buildings unless they have a tower on every block. 😳
No idea, it also says Canada but I'm not aware of any Canadian carriers that operate at that frequency.
Sounds like sprint's 2.5Ghz spectrum... great for wide open areas, probably work well in a stadium-like area, but if somebody holds up toilet ...

That's actually Europe's "official" 4G frequency band. Some of the first LTE networks used that.

curious to know the benchmark scores....
Also, hopefully there will be a 32gb version when it goes on sale.
