Re: Still in business .....
While I agree that HTC would benefit from better PR and marketing, I can't agree with your second paragraph.
HTC One M9 is $200 cheaper than the 6 Edge on a rogers phone plan, and $100 cheaper than the Samsung S6.
The specs are on par if not better than the S6 and iPhone 6 (6 plus does have better specs than the 6) with more ram, an equivalent processor, **microSD card slot**, BoomSound speakers (with Dolby surround sound, and yes, they are amazing), and an equally powerful battery (with Quick Charge 2.0).
The camera does seem to be worse than the other flagship phones, but spec-wise it's actually better. This means that you either have to be able to take full advantage of the manual mode, or should try different camera apps to see what suits your needs. Personally I use Google Camera.
And let's not forget the professional look of the phone. The design and feel is of a professional phone, one on which you get work done. This is something that the competitors are only just starting to mimick, but HTC has been pushing out professional-looking smartphones for years.
If you really believe HTC is needed to prevent the Apple-Samsung duopoly, then show some support by not just jumping on the Hate-This-Company bandwagon. Don't let reviewers who spent 5 minutes with a pre-release phone convince you of how bad the phone is, go to a store and check it out yourself.
