I am not eligible for an upgrade for a year, so I am sticking with my EVOLTE. But my wife and son got HTC Ones this week, and they blow the EVOLTE away. Much smoother, faster transitions, and most importantly, better multitasking. I also think the camera is indeed better. The front speakers are fantastic, and the included headphones are actually pretty good. My wife is coming from an HTC windows phone, and my son from HTC EVO Shift 4G. Both are happy. And the $100 of for each is just a bonus. $99 per phone plus activation is a pretty good deal. But I can wait until next year to see what is available at that point. Hell, I miss my Sprint Pre minus, and I cannot wait until Phoenix gets Android running as an app on my webOS Touchpad. But the HTC One is a fantastic smartphone. This is in large part due to Matias Duarte having left Palm to become director of the user experience at Google/Android.
