        They’re only real if you’re a journalist. The random sheep who pre-ordered them are never gonna get theirs. Mark my words.

      They don’t really, they pay ODM to design the phones. Trumps probably paid ODM to reuse the design.

        An ODM is a type of company - although it’s very possible they paid the same ODM to make the phones, since they likely have the tooling ready to go.

      My Taiwanese friend pushed these so hard, but at the time, isn’t ready to jump ship to Android quite yet. I ended up getting an Xperia for my first android because nothing looked interesting enough from HTC. I kept waiting for that “one,” but they just said fuck it we’re not making shit anymore. They also tried to jump onto the crypto bandwagon with a built-in wallet or something. I dunno why anyone would need that when you have a bajillion software wallets.

        I miss my HTC One M9, probably favorite phone I’ve ever owned. I’d love a more modern version of it.
