[citation][nom]ikyung[/nom]$2.85 million vs... $7.7 BILLION?I agree that HTC makes incredibly beautiful phones with the right price tag, but they don't know how to run a business. I guarantee once the HTC One hits the market, HTC won't be able to keep up with supply/demand. The aluminium body and shortage of components will definitely hinder them from printing out large volumes. Majority of consumers won't wait months in line from all the back orders and will go buy an Apple, S4, or the new Sony phone instead which will result in HTC losing thousands if not millions of potential customers.[/citation]
Samsung is much more than a phone maker, although no doubt their phone division makes good money too.

Samsung are partly run by a government, HTC are run by a SME
