Its just like the SIII with more bloat. HTC One looks gorgeous and has enough power, no body needs an octocore cpu in a phone yet. Also I dislike plastic phones alot especially the flimsy back on these units. Honestly when was the last time anyone carried a spare battery, the fact its built in makes no difference to me and people ditch the phone before you wear the battery out anyway.

What's so boring is that they're all bloody Android.  It's like having the choice of a hundred different cars, all with the same engine.

Android has gotten very good though, Simon. Its a lot more polished now, is slick and fast and very customisable. If I wasnt invested in iOS i would have an HTC one this year, the reviews for that are great. Android is only like Symbian was to Nokia but with the backing of Google, yes privacy issues but they have the best R&D in town. Samsung may want to watch it though as people seem to forget Android is actually Google, not Samsung.
