Don't count out HTC just yet. The flagship successor to the One series will be just as good, if not better, than the DNA.

5" 1080p S-LCD3 display
1.8+ GHz quad core true A15 Tegra 4 much faster than S4 Pro
2-3 GB RAM
2,500 mAh battery with optimizations that grant well over 10 hours of battery life

It'll be a great day, that day. One hell of a successor to the One X, eh?

It might be released at MWC like the One X was. That's in late February. It might be released at CES though, that's early January. No exact release date, but Q1 definitely.

It's too bad I got the One X already... I'll have to hold out another year or two before I get a new phone. Are you going to get the Butterfly?

Then you can get the successor to the successor of the One X, that's what people usually do anyways. You always get every other successor to your phone, unless there's something that majorly bothers you about your specific device that got fixed in the immediate successor.

People who got the iPhone 4S shouldn't have gotten the 5, but should wait for the 5S.

People who got the Galaxy Nexus shouldn't have gotten the Nexus 4, but should wait for the next Nexus.

Etc.

Unless you're always wanting the latest and greatest.

Anyways, no, I don't think I'll be getting the Butterfly. I'm kind of tired of waiting for updates, and I'm a bit sick of overlays (I love Sense, but Touchwiz ruined it for everyone). I'm ordering the Nexus 4 as soon as Google releases an update that increases optimization, maybe 4.2.3. This GS2 is getting a bit worn.

Yeah, that's what I was thinking... Unless Google releases a Nexus with HTC or Sony...

I would've preferred it if they did originally. HTC is the greatest when it comes to Nexus. The majority of people who don't like HTC doesn't like them for their lacking updates or Sense, and that would be fixed with a Nexus. Would've loved to see a Butterfly Nexus

Don't worry about the 1700 mhz anymore, 1900 mhz already started running on T-Mobile.

Not across the whole U.S., and they just started converting some of the 1900mhz markets to HSPA+.

Why would I not want to be able to use al of my carriers bands anyway?

And its not like Sony cant add the band, they have international versions of phones with 1700, that for some reason they choose to leave off the U.S. versions.

I dnt get why Sony would limit themselves in a major cell phone market like the U.S. to one carrier that treats them like they are subpar afterthoughts for people who cant afford an iPhone or SG3.
