AnonD-26, 07 Jul 2012I think what went wrong is their marketing strategy !! Thei... moreActually I'm a loyal HTC fan since the very first Desire, but I had to go with the S3 even though I much prefer the One X's looks, mainly because HTC disappointed me when it comes to battery life, I just need my battery to hold on for at least 14 hours without a charge

Also the camera on the One X is pretty disappointing, just like all HTC's cameras

    Well since the US court and Apple delayed selling the One X in US by 2 months for "possible infringements" but it didn't infringe on anything, then shouldn't they not claim damages from the said parties? I say claim from the courts for the time taken and the clear abuse of the system from apple. Damages should be in the region of $250 mil.

      I was a big fan of HTC phones but they seemed to have stopped innovating for a while now. I still own HTC HD2 but what has really changed after that. Nothing really, just a slightly faster CPU. I mean the camera still sucks, the speakers are poor and sounds like a tin can.

      They need to improve otherwise they will simply fall behind competition.

            Learn from apple. One product to set the benchmark. Sell away beats( useless and expensive) fired the lousy marketing team. Fired the person who said HTC will come up with exclusive device and will make sure past mistake will not be repeated. ( now we have one x, one s, one v, desire v, desire c) history repeat again HTC! Why cant u learn..

              That loss would be the same for Samsung, if Nokia had adopted Android.

              Thank God Samsung then thank MS's puppet Elop. Otherwise, your fate would be like LG and HTC.

                        I think what went wrong is their marketing strategy !! Their One x series is rocking have all the feature that s 3 have they have failed at their marketing , coz i know lot of people who respects the htc brand then plastic king Samsung.HTC have most innovative sense technology but they never advertise their strengths.
                        Have patience next quarter belongs to HTC.

                            HTC please release EVO 4G LTE worldwide. It would definately compete SGS3.

                                I love HTC but after what they did here in Brasil, I think the situation will only get worse for the company because they are only investing in places that are having problem with the crisis so it's time to HTC wake up and start to launch smartphones in emergent countries.
                                PS: Sorry for my terrible english

                                  Help me out here, which HTC phone was a black slab with rounded corners again? Oh I remember, all of them.

                                    I think HTC where a good company, but they have been releasing too many phones that look the same and that are expensive compared to their competition. They should release phones like Samsung but designs like Sony, unique and powerful. And not as many maybe

                                      Damn you Apple for stopping the technological progress with your unfair bullying of fair competitors.

                                        No microSD slot for their flagship phone and with WiFi issue. That's 2 flagships in a row. Obviously, they deserved this. Otherwise, I would prefer One X over SIII.
