OP asked for opinions from people who have used both, that should reduce the unqualified opinions.

Re: iphone 5 vs HTC ONE Assuming you meant the One has better battery life than the iPhone? The main reason I switched back to the iPhone from the One was the battery life. The One almost always made it through the day on a charge, but I found myself always monitoring the battery life, so I...

Re: iphone 5 vs HTC ONE I've owned them both. Neither one lags.

I came from an iPhone 4 and have had a One for about 5 months now. I'm still on the fence. Despite the bigger screen, I don't think the One is any easier to read than the iPhone and pictures are just slightly better to view on the One. Messaging and voicemail aren't as smooth on the One...

My favorite phone was the Treo Pro. I could zip around that thing one handed. I think a phone like the Terrain would sell a lot better if it had a better screen, better camera, and a more recent version of Android. Because it doesn't, they won't sell nearly as many as they could and conclude...

The thing I miss most from the iPhone is the physical home button to turn the phone on with. When I mess with an iPhone the thing I miss the most from the One is the back button. I'm sticking with the One because of the better Google integration (calendar and tasks).

I wish somebody would consider my idea for a 2 sided phone. One side would be a full screen like the the S3 or the One and the other side would have a physical keyboard and a small screen. You could then just use whichever side suited your task at hand.

It is, and has been, checked.

I transitioned from an iPhone to the One a few months ago and still am not comfortable with some of the basic phone functions. I purchased the developer edition directly from HTC and am using it on AT&T. First question is regarding voicemail. I downloaded AT&T's visual voicemail. I get...

When I first switched to the One, it didn't seem that much bigger than the iPhone, but now the iPhone does seem tiny. Posted via Android Central App

I chose the One because it was supposed to be the easiest one to transition to for an iPhone user. I didn't want a nexus because of lack of lte and marginal battery life. Touch wiz gave me pause on the s4. Posted via Android Central App

Thanks, that was my problem.

I definitely miss the home button. Swiftkey has a free trial. Give it a try, I think you'll find it worth the money to purchase.

Yes the One is the only Android device I have tried. I have a unique requirement for my weather apps. I own some getaway property west of Big Bend National Park. It is 80 miles from any normal weather monitoring points with mountains in between. So, most weather apps do not have accurate...

I've been using an HTC One for about a month now and if I had to do it over again I would not switch. In a nutshell, each has it's advantages and disadvantages and I don't think either one is that much better to be worth the hassle of changing. For that reason I would not recommend to someone...
