Nokia recently found itself taking component manufacturer STMicroelectronics to court over the HTC One and its microphone. In case you missed all those developments, STM created this microphone part for Nokia, and wasn't supposed to sell it to anyone else. Instead, it ended up providing the mic to HTC for use in the One. Nokia went and got an injunction that prevents STM from doing any more of this business, and while there won't be any recall of the HTC One, HTC will need to find a new source of mics in the future. We’ve wondered just what steps these companies would take next, and HTC ...

It's tough to be HTC these days. If you thought that 2012 was a hard year on them, at least it didn't prove to be as financially complex as 2013 has. The company has posted their Q1 results and even though there were a ton of things aligned to se the company enjoy some glorious results, the profit margins prove the contrary. So far the company profits are down 98%, and we didn't get that number wrong. These numbers have plunged to NT$85 million ($2.85 million) from NT$4.5 billion ($152 million) in this same quarter last year. The same can be said about revenue, which dropped to to $1.45 ...

We have heard a whole lot of claims about the HTC M4 over the past several months. Some of those suggested it would be a smaller version of the HTC One, with a metal body and all. Some said that the M4 would be more like an HTC First sans Facebook, with the same 4.3-inch 720p screen. Today a very believable-looking render of the phone has arrived alongside some updated specs and it sort of seems like everyone was right: we get that HTC One look alongside that HTC First display. While there are a few tweaks, the design here is largely the same as the One's. The only changes we can spot are ...

My esteemed colleague, Stephen Schenck, wrote yesterday that by the time Windows Phone 9, or whatever it will be called, comes out Nokia may be the only player left at the Windows Phone blackjack table. It got me to thinking – it's not completely crazy and could easily happen. Nokia enjoys a special relationship with Microsoft – a sort of friends with benefits kind of relationship. Microsoft pays Nokia, Nokia pays Microsoft, Nokia puts together a nice little perk package in Windows Phone 8, most notably Here, the artist formerly known as “Maps”. Nokia has also spearheaded major ...

Launched in the midst of much higher-profile devices, one of the best mid-range smartphones – one that stands for much more than just another mid-range phone – has suffered from a terrible case of bad timing. After spending 11 days with the phone, our full review of the HTC First went live one week ago today. When we first caught wind of the First, there really wasn't a lot to get excited about. It was, in a sense, the elusive Facebook phone; its specifications were mediocre; its build and design were plain and simple; and it came pre-loaded with Facebook Home. There was nothing about ...

As you've probably seen, when it comes to choosing between the HTC One or Samsung's Galaxy S 4, we here at Pocketonow are heavily leaning towards the One. While we appreciated Samsung's effort, little things like an uninspired design and gimmicky software found us turning our praises towards the One, instead. Apparently we're not the only ones who think that the One is more than adequate competition for the GS4, as HTC's North American President was recently talking about One sales in light of the GS4's arrival, and he seems positively optimistic. Mike Woodward describes One sales this ...
