          I first would like to say that I have the wonderful HTC one M7 love the sense interface.

          HTC one A9 32gb/3gb $399 sim free USA
          HTC one A9 16gb/2gb £479 sim free ($718)

          Why does the UK/Europe pay $319 more for less phone, or to put it another way, why are we subsidising USA.

          Due to my phone being lost I will be buying a new premier smart phone by December, so why should I or anyone else in Europe continuing supporting a company who charge's over $300/ £200 more for less phone. For £399 I could buy a Samsung S 6 (gold) sim free which is a more powerful phone, fact.

          Now just because 1000's of other companies regardless of what they sell do it, 1000's of wrongs don't make a right.

          According to what I have read on the Internet on many sites your company is hoping that the HTC one A9 turn's your company fortunes around.

          As a consumer I can a sure you if you charge over $300/£200 more for less, it won't.

          Now before I start a blog and post my angry about this on Facebook, (which my friends share and reposted, over a million last time) about this and suggest customers look elsewhere for a new premier phone, which some internet sites, (trusted reviews) say A9 isn't due to the mid range specification's.

            Most specs look good, but the battery 21xx mAh is a joke. Every buyer should get a free powerbank

                You all need to STOP saying this is anything other than pure HTC design, why didn't ANYONE start mocking Apple when they came out with an iPhone 6 that was so clearly, unmistakably, undeniably ripped off from the HTC One M7??? THAT's the real Rip-Off, not the A9!!! Geez...

                    If you want to get mocked for having a fake iPhone, you'll buy a HTC One A9.

                      the pricing is interesting but as an outsider why isn't everyone making a thing about apple pricing of the 6s. I mean I like apple a lot but seriously in Australia its $1300.00 yet we don't here the carryon like you do with the A9 which has better specs overall except for touch. I am with A9 and buy in the usa

                        Hahaha...funny move, HTC. And smart decisions. If you don't want to sell ANY of your phones, you have to continue that way.

                          I am lucky I am not living in the UK. =/
                          This A9 is decently priced in the US but I am curious how much the price in, say, Taiwan and China will be.

                            HTC is having the worst management and marketing dept. they are the ones who suppress their own engineers talent and dig their own grave.
                            The A9 is perfect mid range phone with ridiculous pricing.

                              Might as well go with the Moto X Style.

                                With that Outrageous price I can buy a Pre Owned Galaxy S6 Edge + or a new Note 4 or save for the Xperia Z5, man HTC is so dead the next year this will be the last nail in the coffin

                                  I own an HTC M8...you guys were doing things differently. What happened? Change management....let your engineers innovate...they are capable... Slash price of A9...reduce the number of phone variants u release.. 2 or3 premium phones/year.. start investing in other departments. Sony got their camera lens. I think Samsungg got their processor... U got nothing. This builds capacity.
                                  Do these...and u will be back on track. Trust me..
