Re: Meh
If it works well enough to give directions while driving and make you go "Awww!" over a baby sloth video that's good enough.
Only if you're aiming at the commodity market, where there's little money to be made. HTC are specifically positioning this phone to contend with other high end handsets, and it needs something distinctive. Being nice to hold is now partly commoditised. High res displays and cameras are commoditised. Like them or not, the S7 is distinctive, the G5 is distinctive, and IOS is distinctive. What's on offer here that would persuade you or me to pay the fat end of £600? Possibly nothing because by the sound of it we're both skinflints, but for a price insensitive early adopter, what's here for them? There's no show off factor, and absent that this won't achieve much for HTC because nobody will buy it?
