    Power button on top. yup got one. infact I can't recall the last HTC I have owned that didnt.
    Not a huge fan of the physical button. Have one on the Samsung tablet and I often se the tablet rotated 180 degrees to put it to the top.
    You see it as missing features,i see it as choice. The Galaxy range has many features that dont interest me,but my OH preferes the Galaxy range over my HTC.

    It's just a shame you can't get an Android device with all the things I need/want. I guess that's why the iPhone is so successful!

    I know what's missing, I just don't care about it. I care more about what's missing from Android that effects usability.

    old ground but what? The HTC One pretty much ticks the boxes you cover.

    It's still missing the physical home button, iOS, the iOS keyboard and web browser, is physically much larger, I'm guessing it doesn't have lock screen voice control.

    Well stuff like keyboards and browsers are a personal preference.
    saying its missing IOS is kind of pointless. its like saying im missing breasts
    You have the one you are used to
    eg I recently gave Puffin browser a go. Wickedly fast,but takes a bit of getting used to. also in Itunes
    Well Apple patented their voice unlock.
    however for now,voice lock,well its just an app away via the Play store..
    however I did see a report on Google filing a patent that covered some voice unlock aspect

    It's not voice unlock I'm after, it's the ability to use voice control from the lock screen. This is for when I'm driving so that I can skip tracks and make calls. I'm gonna order an HTC One and try it, see how it compares to the iPhone.
