Hey I live in Europa and Im already waiting for the Droid Dna since the first leaks but unfortunately it's not for Europe (they said).
HTC recently announced that the HTC Butterfly is going global and I'm super happy.
But, here's the thing:
HTC always announces new flagships at MWC so I dont want to buy a new phone in january when another/newer flagship gets released just 2 months afer.
What do you guys think? Will HTC reveal a new flagship at MWC or not. Should I buy the Butterfly or wait?
P.S: Sorry for my bad English.
You should wait till mwc 2013 DNA/butterfly/butterfly j are not international models but the butterfly can take gsm meaning it is international but only cause any gsm network will work. The official flagship is out in February with a better camera/design/processor/hopefully a bigger battery. The latest international flagship in the west regions Europe/America is the one x+. The butterfly is ONLY aimed at the Asian market.

If you always wait, you will be always waiting. New models always come out and they are always better than the previous model

It was announced that the Butterfly was for the Asian market only. HTC are said to be working on a device codenamed the "M7" for the European market.
Droid DNA = US.
J Butterfly = Japan
Butterfly = Asia
No European release as yet.
I decided to import a Droid DNA from the US and I don't regret it for a second (apart from UK Customs basically robbing me in tax charges).
I could have waited for HTC to release the European variant but let's be honest, no-one knows when or even if this will happen. If u want a Butterfly/DNA import one. You could be waiting a very long time otherwise if it gets released to the Euro market at all.

Oh ok I got you. So if I want this phone I'm better off getting it from Verizon. I don't like the big Verizon logo in front of it but oh well... thanks for the info!

I don't see a point of waiting. I got mine Droid DNA yesterday and i am trully happy with it. But in February when Butterfly will be released, there will be announces from Samsung. And a for now, we have the best smartphone in the market. Don't wait, waiting is killing
I could have either gotten the DNA or waited to Feb. as we have an upgrade for this month and in Feb./2013.
the choice was easy,
I bought the DNA.
I was scared of the 5' screen, coming from the largest I ever used daily was 4.3(Rezound), I sold my GNEX for the Rezound because I liked the size better and was HTC
but, I'm actually coming from the INC4 (4') to the DNA which is a full inch bigger.
I have to admit, I hated it the first hour or so. I felt it was way too big and I could never use this for my daily. within an hour, I realized how well this phone feels, I can even do most things with one hand.
You could wait -- but why when the hottest phone is out right now.
the screen on this phone is un-real. the quality built is the best HTC has ever put out for VZW, IMO, except maybe the HTC droid Eris, that phone was awesome.
anyway sorry for the rant. for me it was easy not to wait, but I suggest getting the DNA. also when the next hot phone drops and if you really want it, you could always sell the DNA and get new phone. might cost you some, but IMO if you wait, you're always waiting, unless you know a phone is coming that you want.
If I knew VZW would be getting an HTC phone like the DNA or like the one series (not like theinc4, that phone isn't built nearly as nice as the one series phone) I would have waited 4 maybe ever 6 months for it.
in words of John Garcia "The waiting is harrrd, -- it fNNNkNNN takesss soooooooooo longgg"

Here’s a bit of interesting news to keep us talking over the weekend as a new T-Mobile inventory screengrab has fallen into our inbox indicating the HTC Sensation 4G, HTC Amaze 4G, LG DoublePlay, LG myTouch Q and LG myTouch are nearing their end-of-life status. We should remind you that “end-of-life” does not mean the Amaze 4G will immediately disappear from store shelves — if anything there could be still be weeks worth of inventory sitting in T-Mobile warehouses. That being said, the idea that the top two HTC Android phones on T-Mobile are nearing the end of their run hopefully tells us something new is on the horizon. The HTC Ville perhaps?
As we look down the list at the LG handsets nearing end-of-life, we’re asking ourselves if anyone out there is terribly surprised that the myTouch and myTouch Q along with the DoublePlay are already nearing the end of their run? None of these phones were ever positioned to be heavy hitters and the DoublePlay, with its unique dual-screen approach was never given the kind of marketing or billing a phone that unique could have received.
Our first thought after reading through this list was one of hope, that T-Mobile will replace some of their high-end devices like the HTC Amaze 4G and Sensation 4G with other, top of the line handsets. Unfortunately, we’ve got very little information about what is in the T-Mobile pipeline for 2012, but we imagine with the Amaze 4G going away, T-Mobile isn’t going to replace it with anything other than a phone that exceeds the already powerful expectations the Amaze 4G set. While the first quarter for T-Mobile might be a little sparse, our hope is that the second quarter of 2012 and beyond will be filled with lots of exciting handsets as T-Mobile revs up their lineup to lure new customers in.

They just released the amaze few months back.
Edit: Concerned About Our End Of Life Post For the HTC Sensation4G/Amaze4G? Don’t Be.
Judging by your comments, Tweets, emails and Facebook posts a number of you expressed some concern and confusion over our recent “End-Of-Life” post for the HTC Amaze 4G, Sensation 4G among others. In hindsight, I suppose I should have made sure this was put into the post surrounded by neon lights to avoid any confusion or panic, but “End Of Life” only means it is the end of the “shelf life” for the phone. In other words, the phone will no longer be sold once the end of life is actually put in place, which we emphasize could still be weeks away. This DOES NOT mean the end of T-Mobile or HTC support, or the cancellation of planned Ice Cream Sandwich updates which are still scheduled for the Amaze 4G and Sensation 4G. There is no reason to be concerned over those updates and the phones remain covered by their warranties. I have little doubt HTC will continue to update them as planned.
All this being said, let’s re-emphasize that there is no reason to be concerned over that post as this isn’t the first instance T-Mobile or its competitors have set a number of phones for end of life at the same time. It is clear however that T-Mobile will have to replace them with alternative (and likely improved) models so we’ll just have to kick back and wait and see what Magenta has in store.

If they replace the Amaze already i will honestly probably leave T-mobile asap. The phone has only been out for 3 months. in 4 months the Sensation will be one year old so that would be not too bad but still. i could care less for the rest though. The amaze isnt even THAT much of an upgrade from the sensation anyways so im pretty sure it has nothing to do with power..

Reading this news will make it a better choice to go with the SGS2 (if people were torn between the two phones).
This thread should be sent all around to show how much HTC / T-mobile cares about their users. Think im going to wait and see how this actually goes and if it actually happens im going to wait till the Xperia S comes out and probably go to that.
Wow...I've had the phone for 2 weeks. Kind of insane news if this holds up. I could understand if the phone was plagued with issues, but honestly since I've owned both phones, the Sensation and the Amaze, the quality of the Amaze is superior.
I understand technology moving forward and such, but how many iPhones get released every year?
What happened to promoting the phone and giving it a chance? Speaking of promoting the phone, did T-mobile or HTC ever have a commercial for the Amaze? (This doesn't include the iphone vs amaze videos that T-mobile did.)
Also - not like they yanked the Sensation away when the Amaze came out, just because its a better phone.

You guys also have to remember that up until a months ago, T-Mobile wasnt sure if it was going to be a company. They didnt have as much into future plans.
Now that the ATT deal is done we are 150% in making a strong presence in 2012, phones and all
ok guys i dont care about the LG phones but really the two top htc phones out for tmobile now end of life? the amaze have a few months old not a lot, but im curious remember while back when apple won in court against htc and htc latest phones will be banned in 2012! i wonder if this have something to do with it?
but really if they have in mind of coming out with new hanset why take away the best phones they have! that no sence, and by the way the amaze is better than the samsuck
and Tw launcher and remember at least htc is more friendly than samsuck
dont forget the G2X has been EOL for a while and I still have quite a few in my store

this has nothing to do with it im sure. its most of their old phones, like the incredible etc. all the phones shipped with froyo most likely. the sensation and amaze were not on that list.
This is complete crap, I can only take so much solace in a manufacturer update. EOL means devs have less of an opportunity or motivation to work on the device.
Craigslisting this abandoned step child as soon as tmobile announces a succesor.
I still do not see clear evidence of that happening. All that link shows is a picture regarding some backorders and some whatever 3 paragraph comments some dude has written. And remeber tmonews is not official rep of tmobile so personally ifind that article total crap

HTC made be heading in a new direction with phone design for their android phones. Even though the Amaze 4G is a new phone the design is old. HTC has used the same design for years. I like HTC design/build, but the public seems to prefer Samsung build/design for Android. I think the Galaxy S line is the top selling android phone worldwide.

I though HTC said last year they were going to chill out on the releasing of like 700 different models.
Why the hell are they releasing a new Droid incredible thats completely different from the one series.
When are manufacturers going to realize that instead of pumping out hundreds upon hundreds of different models they could have like 2-3 different models and take them to all the carriers. I thought that was the direction HTC was headed with the One series but now once again they will release those as well as another evo, another incredible and they still say they have 3 more phones in the pipeline.
I mean instead of having a ton of different phones with mediocre hardware and R&D why can't they just be more like (This is the only context i will ever say this in) Apple well designed phones across all carriers. It seems like they would save some money on design as well...
Its not like people are stupid enough to run out multiple times a year and buy the new HTC phone. Even the most tech obsessed people change phones once a year (normally).
It seems to me that if this is working so well for apple why cant it work for other manufacturers...?

The iphone is that way because apple has such a stranglehold on the carriers that they allow them to have THE ONE, THE ONLY IPHONE on their network... HTC to get phones on the network has to bend to the carriers demand to get their phones on the network, at least they are not using different hardware for them, so they can update relatively quickly
Sent from my PG86100 using xda premium
they simply ment you wont see stuff like the Sensation, Sensation XL, and then toss in the Rhyme and things like that...still lineup will be much less than previous year.
They can pump out a million phones for all I care as long as we get the updates when PROMISED and not 6 months later.
The new Incredible still looks similar to the One series. They have their design template, now they're just releasing the phones according to that. I'm sure carriers push for something more exclusive to them, hence the EVO LTE on Sprint and the Incredible LTE on Verizon. Both lines are well known.

How do you satisfy the hand that feeds you when their requirements are "It needs to be something different, that the other carriers don't have".
Look at the HTC EVO LTE.. It's a rebranded HTC ONE X.

The dragon series has been in play in China for a couple of years I believe, we just don't year about them here, incredible is a redesign one s, evo LTE a one x

Here are the "whys":
1. U.S. Carriers, simply do not flex. There has to be some difference, some 1 up or some brand/design designation. In the U.S. when you buy a phone, you buy a bond with the phone & the carrier. They feel the need to stand out in some form or fashion.
Ex: AT&T was itching to say their iPhone was 4G, Nokia's Brand-free flagships never making it to the U.S.,The Samsung Galaxy & Galaxy SII series naming/differences, etc. the list goes on.
2. 2 words China Mobile... Maybe a cost thing? The HTC Dragon series is low end, China Mobile isn't playing for losses of any kind, they're pretty hardcore profit wise. Even Apple had a hard time with China Mobile before a deal was finally struck, had Apple by the balls.
Ok so I'm sorry to ask this if it's been asked before. Deal is I have the Htc one x but my grace period is almost up. Really like the phone but I miss my Samsung. Thing is when is it supposed to if it does launch for AT&T. If it'll be not intil the late summer early fall then I'll just keep my one x. If it supposed to launch say in June. Then I'll wait for it and return the one x before the 30 days. I'm back to using my iPhone 4 and can't stand it.
AFAIK ATT is GSM so you can just buy one, pop in a sim and you're good to go.
I may be wrong.

Yes, Samsung international phones have typically been compatible with ATT. And as for the AT&T launch, they definitely said june but who knows.
Define defitely first. Then we will be able to answer your questions
Thanks. Guess I'll return the one x and save my upgrade for the gs3. It's odd though if it would be a June release wouldn't AT&T have announced it yet? Don't they usually announce them a few weeks before for preorders and such?
Yes I spelled definitely wrong.
Ya saw that lol. Tried to fix it but couldn't. Going from a 4.7" screen to the iPhones 3.5" it's hard to get back used to typing
If and when att gets the gs3 it will most likely be different in the hardware cause of LTE. It will be the same as the HTC one x has for att. The new s4 chip set.

Yeah not really thinking it'll be anytime soon. I wish I never sold my gs2. I really miss that phone . It's ok. I really like the one x but not as much as I did the gs2.

It seems HTC changed how app associations were handled for the US version of the HTC One X to avoid patent issues with apple ( http://www.theverge.com/2012/5/16/3...lte-custom-android-build-apple-patent-linkify). This caused some issues like the inability to view YouTube videos in the app when clicking on a video link in a browser web page (only open in the browser - boo). Samsung is caught up in patent disputes with Apple too so I wouldn't be surprised to see additional software differences from the international version...

AT&T will rape the SGS3 like they do every good phone, they can keep their LTE and their stupid yellow pages and everything else they might think I would want. And to make things even worse of course they will get rid of the physical center button.
Would something like say squaretrade work on this? Also I'm assuming (since I'm not in a hurry) the prices may drop come a month from now right?

Personally, I might just have to pull the trigger now. I'm using an Atrix I bought back in May 2011; I had thought that I would have to wait until May 2013, but about a month ago, my availability said I was eligible starting Xmas Eve this year. That was going to be fine, I'd wait that long and buy it in person at an AT&T store, since everyone was offering it at $199. But today, in addition to the price drop at Amazon, I am suddenly eligible to upgrade right now (I checked via Amazon and with AT&T's site directly). AT&T's web site has the phone listed for me to upgrade at $299 with a magic instant $100 rebate, putting it at $199.

You know that the J Butterfly is the Droid DNA on Verizon right? And is unlikely to come to AT&T?
It might come to t-mobile as Nexus 5 hopfully..
I apologize to everyone for accidentally posting this in the HTC J Butterfly Idle Speculation forum. If a mod could move it for me...
I just bought and received the One Max yesterday. The night before It came in the mail, I noticed the 2014 M8 is coming out next week. My big dilemma is should I keep the Max or send it back and get the M8 since I have the 14 day return policy? The screen size of the Max is great and all, but the new M8 is going to be a nice middle ground between the One and the Max. Next is the upgraded internals of the M8 will be updated, but do you think it will be that much of a difference? And last is price. I just paid $200 with a 2 year Verizon contract and would hate for the price to drop next week when the M8 comes out and the M8 end up at or around the same price I just paid for an"older" device. Ideas?

It's not next week for vzw lol. Just a small international cell company. I don't think vzw has a release date yet.
Remember how the first HTC one went?

Get dat M8!! Much better hardware and software!
I read in one of the release date articles that Verizon and HTC were aware of the mistake they made with the HTC One, and wouldn't make the same mistake. Also, leaks of the M8 with the Verizon logo on it makes people think it will release close to the 25th release date. It's a gamble but if I miss the 14 day return policy then I'm stuck with the max for 2 years. For all you Max owners, is the max going to be up to par for another 2 years in regards to hardware?
We are due to get kit kat anytime now... Verizon is bloating up the rom with garbage as we speak.
The HTC ONE.. ONE MAX.. AND ALL NEW ONE(M8) will receive updates for 2 years.
HTC One MAX
Verizon is getting it March 25th. Exclusive carrier for launch instore, also the aws band is active on the m8. The speeds were ridiculous

This is the same question that seems to be posted in every phone's forums... "Should I get the newer version of this phone"? ... Well of course you should! It's usually better... ?
Current Device : HTC One MAX / Retired HTC Devices: DNA, Rezound, Thunderbolt, Incredible, Eris
