There are only 3 things that would put me off buying the HTC ONE amd they are.
1. The camera isn't as good as other flagship smartphones unless its low light.
2. No SD card slot I'm currently using 47.6 GB of data on my Xperia Z1 lots of movies and music.
3. Their financial status is a cause for concern, although I'm sure HTC will pull them selves out it you just have to look at Blackberry as they as they may get broken up as a company being sold in parts for more cash.

Apart from them the HTC ONE is a superb smartphone in which many users are perfectly happy with and will be for months maybe years to come.
I'm so happy 'cause today
I've found my friends ...

I know but I decided to not care about the camera as I'm a lousy photographer anyhow.
32gb is enough for lots of music. I don't like movies, even short clips are not my thing.
If HTC would stop next week, I can hack it and make it a Google edition.
For hardware warranty there is a Dutch law. The shop that sold it is responsible, not the firm that made it.

Can't go wrong this way. I hope

Very first impression is that it's big but not to big, and slim very slim.
It's charging now.

I'm really starting to enjoy my One.
It does everything I want it it to do without any problem. It took some time to get used to the buttons, coming from a lumia800 all buttons are on a different place.
Photos come out nice also.
