I still dont understand why anyone would buy a phone with a fingerprint scanner, given all the privacy issues of today. Obviously its cool, and more secure in a way, but it creates a bigger problem than it solves.

HTC must be getting some really good tax incentives for helping the NSA out so much.

BTW, the specs on this phone read like something from 2012.

My 2011 Dual Core Android Moto Atrix had a finger print sensor and it was awesome! Why does everyone write that people are following Apple? The Moto Atrix probably wasnt the first phone with one either! Why would it be creating a ah heck privacy issue? It probably creates a one way hash of your fingerprint that does not give any clue about its properties.

" Most importantly, HTC is following in Apple's footsteps with the addition of a fingerprint scanner for unlocking the device to your favorite application."

Because everyone knows that Apple invented that. Motorola Atrix never existed.

This phone is sick, but a bit too big, and the non replaceable battery are deal breakers for me. If I were still shopping for a phone and I had the money, I'd pass on this. Although 6" of that LCD 3 display would be HEAVEN, the deal breakers above make me pass on this. The One has the best display out right now IMO. I don't even think the 5S can touch it. Saying that, I'm still happy I got a used Note II for $375cdn.

I like bigger phones, I'm thinking of jumping the apple ship and going android. Nexus 5 like great for the price

didn't apple patent the fingerprint scanner? they have a patent on everything else they stole.

HTC to be sued soon.

Phone with finger print scanner is kind pointless consider your finger prints are all over the body. Well.. I suppose it prevent normal cell phone thief.

The Apple iPhone 5S is the very first phone to have a fingerprint scanner made by Apple. Apple makes the very best iPhones in the world of any iPhone manufacturer.
