I agree with what you're saying, but from HTC's standpoint the S4 has a significant brand/name recognition advantage, and the hardware specs of the 2 phones are comparable. Many people will just buy the S4 because they had an S3 or b/c their friends have one or recommend it to them. The Galaxy line is a juggernaut--the One line is not.
Ideally, HTC needs to undercut the S4 price, not compete head to head with it.
The One would benefit by positioning itself as an exceptional value, not just another phone in a high price range.
The bigger point here is that AT&T has increased the on contract price of its top phones by 25% (from $200 to $250) and it's not being talked about...yet.
omg finally some good news
I posted this question in the best buy pro order thread but realize I should have asked this question in this thread;
Does anyone know when his many months you need to be in a contract to use your early upgrade ($250 plus the cost of the contract phone)?
How does one preorder off contract full price? Does it give you the option while preordering?
I've got a question for ya or anybody. I'll be buying off contract. Never done it before. Besides paying full price how does getting a sim card for it works?? What about my pics, contacts? Exactly what is the process???

If you already have a microsim then copy your contacts on it and pop it in, but if you don't have a microsim on your old phone, you'll need microsim adapters that make the microsim big enough for your old phone, then you copy your contacts on and take it out, pop it out of the adapter and put it in the one.
i dont think htc uses microsims
