I've used the HTC One. You've got questions. Let's do this.

I saw a calendar "tile" in blinkfeed in one of the hands on videos on YouTube though.

No, Google Calendar does not link into Blink Feed, that was one of the first things I asked about when I had my hands on with it. The Productivity lock screen will display your next calendar event though. I don't have the link handy, but HTC has a phone setup site where you can see all the options for your feed.

This is not correct. It sucks in your calendar just fine if you want it to.

What about signal strength, the old death grip issue some phones get. Wondering if you hold the phone tite in your hand will your signal strength drop?
Thanks,
Vinny

Unscientifically, I haven't noticed any issues.s

Camera pics. Is it better than the Iphone 5? I don't care about the sunset, flowers, or sunshine. I mean indoors, friends night out, cook outs, or lake weekend, parties,family, real life stuff.
The HTC ONE X rear camera is good but I wouldn't say better than the Iphone 5. It was a hit or miss picture. The HTC ONE X front camera is a fiasco

Gentlemen, thank you for taking the time to answer all our questions. This is awesome.

I was curious if you ever see the menu bar (i.e., black bar at bottom of the screen with three vertical dots) when using apps on the HTC One? This was a problem when using the One X until a fix was issued by HTC.

How about you tell us how that bezel looks like ?

Yep. That hasn't changed. At least not unless the app devs have updated like they're supposed to.

Does this have HTC browser included or no ?? Or just chrome browser ??cuz chrome doesn't support flash plugins

It's got HTC's browser, and you can set Flash to only run on demand.

Oh thanks for the quick response phill . I hate it on my nexus 4 without lg browser

Hm, they told me wrong at the event then! Haven't seen any sample screens with a calendar tile either.

Hey Phil,

Does it include scenes?

Great feature for someone who uses a phone for work and personal.

Regards and Thanks

Thanks for answering all these questions. Do you have any idea when a final review will be ready? Thanks.

Nope. We're just now getting final units.

Actually, Alex is taking the lead on the review. Bug him.

(But I'll probably write up some thoughts separately.)

With all this "HTC Zoe" and "Ultrapixel" talk you would think those that actually have the phone would be more willing to talk about the quality of the camera which suppose to be this huge feature, something just doesn't seem right. If you ask me, I have a strong feeling that most reviews will rate the camera average at best and even though megapixels aren't everything most reviewers will probably say that 4mp just isn't enough.

We're testing. Have also been waiting on newer software. The phone I have has older software than Alex's, for instance.

Do you have any idea about what differs from the final units you've got now, and the one reviewed by The Verge?

Newer software, for one. I've got both versions here, too.
