Wife and I both have the HTC One. We both love it. Works very well, signal is good, front facing speakers are awesome and the size isn't bad at all. I'll probably stick with this phone for awhile.
Wife has family in NC that we get along with great, and we loved it during our vacation there last year. We are seriously considering it in the hopefully near future.
Thanks Shawn. Yeah it's tough watching someone try so hard and in the end it's not enough. And we are so helpless and can't really do shit to make anything better.
