hardniola: htc are goin down every day.... Dis fone is scrap plus d battery notin but fluke.

The phone is not crap, it's a mid-range phone running on Quad-core.

The battery is not bad too, considering the fact that the display is 4.3" and CPU is Quad.

It all depends on the price.

The upcoming 'HTC One Max' is a huge one.

Nice specs but do anyone knows d price range
