    All the comments about being overpriced are petty as it is the same price as the Samsung Galaxy S7 in the UK. I have always had Galaxy devices but try out all the competition before I buy. I will be checking out the HTC 10 before I pass judgement.

    Remember Haters will hate

      The CFO is just as clueless as everyone who works at HTC. Like, does nobody take a look at the device and does peer review anymore before it gets shipped to manufacturing?? And what in god's name do you release a model that is over a year old and charge MORE for what the competitors are doing? Just how exactly does that even make sense?

          I will buy a HTC 10 to support HTC ......

            This really breaks my heart that HTC is seriously going under. How long can they continue to take this kind of hit year on year.

              It's a shame. I've like many HTC phones and look forward to the 10. Unfortunately they can't seem to compete with Samsung, which is dominating the market.

                They deserve everything that happens to them. Overprice everything and them bezels are fugly.

                  It seems they are trying to recover their losses by Overpricing their Phones... And this is the point where they are actually getting hit badly...

                  HTC you are not selling well because of steep pricing... Bring up Phones with low price with good specs and see the miracle...

                      The price is the only reason I am not considering the HTC 10. I cant buy a phone priced same as the S7 and not equal or greater than the S7. So for me I will take the s7

                      At least LG priced theirs $50 cheaper.

                                Really! Apple's problem is wall street. If making over $10billion in profit in a quarter is your idea of getting destroyed, then who exactly is doing well? Last I checked, they are making 90% of the industry profits. Their iPhone numbers are down and it will be down for all of 2016. It is down simply when you compare it to a once in a lifetime event for the iphone 6, since an unusually high number of folks upgraded to the 6. 2015 was an el nino year, not the norm.

                                  My money went for HTC 10 ... it looks like the perfect choice for me (I really do not like S7/edge). I hope they will recover and will continue to support the user-base with good harware and software as well.

                                      This CEO of theirs is like the Balmer of Apple, systematically destroying the legacy of the company's founder by doing the opposite of what he would do at most junctures.

                                      Apple must hire their own version of Nadella before it's too late for them...
