HTC 10

[PhoneChanger]

Well HTC have announced their new flagship, as expected the main selling point is a OIS front facing camera.

It does address some of the shortcomings from the previous iterations such as better battery, better rear camera, and more but I feel it is all too little too late to save HTC. They needed to do something big and bold to make people look up, and I feel this phone just won't deliver.

Plus with the price point expected to be that of the S7 it's a tall ask.

What about good to hear that myself, my wife and two or even more friend are thinking about to leave o2 after few years of cooperation? Guess what it the reason. That is good info for o2? Im sure you dont' care at all. As you don't care about existing customers! No loyalty at all.

If you want something you go where you can get it, not just phones but everything in life. If you change banks do you think your existing bank will miss you....? You are just an account number but if they lose enough accounts due to their products and services, then they will take note. Unfortunately I don't think the number of people leaving due to their stupid business decision about the HTC 10 will have any effect on O2's profits or their rethinking the decision they have taken.

I know! So disappointed in them. HTC's best phone yet.  x

Another person here gutted if they really aren't going to stock the HTC 10. I really wanted one on refresh. The HTC 10 looks like a modernised M7, my fave phone ever...

The below is an interesting opinion from the vodafone forum....

'There's another point I'd like to make. Ranging decision in national suppliers like Vodafone and O2 are not made on a whim or overnight. Some decisions can be taken for granted. Of course all networks will supply the next iPhone and Samsung Galaxy and these are planned years in advance. The Galaxy S8 will already be well advanced as will the iPhone 7 and 7S/8.

Thus this decision will not have been taken last week or even last month - probably taken months ago. It can't be changed on a whim either. HTC, like all manufacturers, has to juggle global logistics and get to the phone in stock to networks all over the world.

Even if VF listened to all of you and changed their policy today, they probably wouldn't be able to get their hands on stock for several weeks.'

Well that is crazy, why would you not stock HTC's flagship mobile...... that will be me and my partner leaving o2. why would we go to CPW on o2 when they offer deals on Vodafone cheaper then o2. or i could go to an online company even cheaper...!! sad day o2 have lost 2 customers from my household... i wonder how many more will switch...!!

Not that many.....certainly not enough to damage O2's revenues.......now if you were talking about an Apple mobile phone (see what I did there ?) then that would be a significant blow to O2's business.
