Yes, the One is also a very large phone - the amazing front-facing stereo speakers do come with a price, which is overall phone size - and that makes them less popular with some folks too. And, like BB, HTC has to be able to make a good profit on every phone they sell, so their prices are high.
But make no mistake: HTC's camera problems are its single biggest Achilles heel.
