Nokia has been dominating in camera department for awhile now. Some of their best cameras are N8, Pureview 808, and Lumia 920.

                  Yes, Nokia made good Camaeras; it was one of their selling points. Except for the 920 the other Nokia Phones are dated in their other features.

                  .

                          its a beautiful phone and software features are great. only thing that concerns me is htc's continued market downfalls, they should think of innovative ways to market this nice phone. once the numbers are up ill consider buying this phone. HTC better improve as well their customer service right now it sucks big time.

                                Anonymous, 05 Mar 2013Beats audio is a gimmick.I beg the differ and GSMarena also. Read:

                                The HTC Butterfly really aced our audio quality test, showing nicely clean output and garnishing it with way above average volume levels.
                                The smartphone did great in the active external amplifier part of the test, posting great scores all over the field. In addition it had volume levels higher than all of its competitors and close to that of the Apple iPad 4 tablet, which is the loudest device we have tested recently.
                                More impressively, there's next to no degradation when you plug in a pair of headphones. The stereo crosstalk rises, but that's the only affected reading. Volume levels remain at the same high level, too. This is one of the first occasions when HTC has really made the Beats audio logo stand for something other than a simple equalizer, but the wait was probably worth it.

                                  I have an iPhone 4S, held out from buying a 5, but I am now so drawn into buying this stunning phone. I hate Samsung (a brand that has more bugs than a 10 year old mattress). HTC have brought out the possible dark horse of 2013.
