    Hopefully they get rid of sense, or atleast make a nice replacement for it.
    Only then will I ever be interested in another HTC device.

    Sense isn't the problem...the amount of RAM they put in the devices is.

    Personally, I love the Sense features and with 2GB of RAM in that beast, it should be perfectly fine. 768MB is just a tad too small, 1GB would probably have been enough.....and my contract is up for renewal in Feb!

    I definitely need a 1080p quad-core phone to browse the internet, check twitter and facebook and send texts.

    And ugh, Sense.

    Re: News - The HTC M7: new 468ppi flagship smartphone to launch in Feb?

    Glad to see they went with 2GB of RAM, their Sense seems to slow everything to a halt on my sensation to the point where I had to remove it - 1GB would have probably been a close call with their next version.

    Exactly what I was going to say. Sense was killing my Sensation with 768MB, some have complained about the 1X and 1S being aggressive with background killing tasks - they have 1GB... 2GB should be plenty though, assuming they don't just consider it another GB they *must* occupy with Sense.

    Slight exaggeration there... pretty sure nobody is expecting the HTC Canary to get a WinPho8 update...

    Looks nice, and annoyingly like the phone I'd expected my HTC One X to be. Not unhappy with my purchase mind you, still prefer it over the Galaxy S3 or an iPhone but gah, so much nicer and with a better finish by the looks of things

    468 PPI is pointless, nothing more than bragging rights. But in fairness does look like they've ticked all the right boxes this time round.

    For me htc have been disappointing since the desire, the desire HD was almost great but the battery was so poor, the incredible s wasn't bad but since then their phones have always looked good on paper but haven't performed as I'd expected. Hopefully this'll be the phone to put htc back on the map win me back from apple, htc, I dare you (the s3 nearly did)

    (I realise that as this is hexus and I mentioned I was an iPhone user I'll get the obligatory isheep apple fanboy comments)

    As your picture shows, you are out in the cold... alone... metaphorically... and literally because you tried to get to get directions home and ended up in Alaska.

    Next thing you'll be telling us you use Twitter every 13 secs and bought Will.I.Am's camera wotsit! Quick, to CarPhone Warehouse, get the man a new handset!
