Dear peeps of the forum,

I am thinking of buying a new phone, but im facing with a dillema, I do not know what should I do...
So I am seeking advice from you guys.
Should I get the HTC One now, or should I wait for The Nexus 5, and if I do, does anyone know when it's going to be released and the price of it?

Thanks in advance. :)

i love my htc one but i think would wait till the nexus 5 if i was in your position, then make a decision . I just find that the htc can be a little inconsistent with quality

I have heard that it was supposed to come out yesterday or something, but then it was delayed and should come out today... :D

If thats the price, then I am surprised...

 

But yeah, The thing that attracts me to the HTC One is it's awesome aluminium body, and the ultra pixel camera, aswell as I have had not bad experience with high end htc's. (had a One X then lost it.)

What about the specs though?

Thanks man,

Specs are even more impressive than I thought, especially for that price.

Then I guess that's sorted, I am getting a Nexus 5.

Wait for the Nexus 5 to come out, I have the Nexus 4 and it's awesome, so I can't imagine the Nexus 5 being worse. It has very good specs and you get stock Android  of course.
