I didn't see this mentioned here yet, apologies if it has already been.
So what do you guys/gals think ? Personally I think it's a good move considering the pull he could have from a marketing standpoint. It's been noted that he'll be playing himself and not ironman.

2014 new flagship - HTC Iron
The body material will use the same Ironman metal and imagechip3 will be used for the laser guided focus system(the flash led will change to laser guided sensor), the back camera hole will shoot out high level energy to destroy targets(Samsung, Sony, LG...).

It's great news and as a fan of RDJ i'm truly delighted as much for HTC who are really stepping up their game. Plus i heard he's been payed 12 million dollars for 2yrs contract.:highfive:

Hope you don't mind that I shared that post on facebook.
Currently in 2 minds whether an iron HTC One would be a good move though.

For marketing to be successful there needs to be a high number of placements, impressions and repetition. That takes money. So for BB and HTC to have Alicia Keys and Robert Downey Jr. as tie-ins is great. But not having the money to keep that in the public eye kind of limits its effectiveness. For Samsung, the Jay Z endorsement is about .001% of their overall promotional budget and is a throw-away. HTC's total marketing budget is about $300MM which sounds big but is pretty small against $8B in sales when you're trying to market to a global audience.
I know I should have thought of Iron Man first, but I instead imagined Sherlock Holmes using an HTC One.
I can imagine him doing great stuff with Sense 5 and telling Watson "It is simplicity itself!"

Downey will be featured in the campaign as himself, not the characters he plays in movies including Iron Man and Sherlock Holmes, and will have final say over creative elements, the people said, declining to be named because the talks aren't public. The maker of the slim, metal HTC One handset will likely feature Downey in television, print and billboard ads, they said.​http://www.bloomberg.com/news/2013-...ert-downey-jr-for-12-million-ad-campaign.html

I just wanted to share these really quick. Some sketches of the Droid X during rendering phase of my PSD project. Quite a story behind these images as Motorola was very tight lipped on the dimensions and features of the phone. The original information coming out was that the prototype of the phone had indeed implemented a front facing camera which never materialized into the production version. Thanks again to Gizmodo for helping me out in getting this design up on May 27th, a full 3 weeks before any official images were released.

Nice, the DX that Verizon brought out anyways was an unfinished product that got pushed out to quickly to help with demand of a smartphone, it would have been great to have a front-facing camera on VZ network.
Not to be a downer, but how many people really utilize a feature like that? I would think not many and that verizon's marketing dept. Banked people wouldn't care and look... its sold out!!!
Either way this phone is rock solid.

actually many people of the younger crowd are looking forward to the front-facing camera on VZ network because of its reliable 3G coverage area and also sad that it didnt launch with froyo on it like it was suppose to.
I will have to keep an eye on your work. Amazing! Thank you for providing the wallpaper.
very cool and i dont care to much for the front facing camera. this droid is packed full goodness and i love it. i dont care if i get 2.2 or not let them work out any new glitches then roll it out. we already run a hybrid mix of 2.2 on the x.
This photo was leaked online earlier today......
Not sure if it's real obviously.....
I believe that there were complaints about pocketability of the v2 but after seeing this photo I can't say I agree with their concern.
wow... is that the new Super AMOLED HD+++ ?
Looks like they they made the Note a bit smaller. Cost saving measures, no doubt.
pre-order right away!
That's actually a prototype of the "bloatware" model coming to AT&T...

Is the new Super Ultra Amoled 4K HD Plus. A friend of friend that has a friends who's friends with another friend who's cousin has a friend that is friends with someone which his friends father works at Samsung by taking out the trash.
You won't believe what you can find these days in Samsung's trash.
Also it has an octo-core SOC clocked at 4Ghz with the graphics performance of 3 580s in SLI and a new advance unannounced nuclear based battery that never runs out. Well that's what came to my end from all the above.
Is it confirmed to get ICS?

Typical.. As soon as I buy one a better one comes out, though I think Nokia may sue based on the radical new design...

Damn... 4Ghz? That's a deal killer for me... I won't settle for less than 4.5129Ghz....
Oh and I hear its camera is only 20MP.... :sigh:
When will Samsung learn??!!
That looks exactly like the i*hone 5, Apple released a statement that they're gonna sue.

Yet again another reason to be an Android / EVO Shift user/owner. The VIDEO in the link below just reinforces what we all already know about ITurd ( Iphone ) users, they are lemmings. Yes I just came across the VIDEO, and it's a bit old. But I thought I'd share it anyway. Because it's Hilarious, plus it proves a point. ITurd users / owners will buy a molded Dog Turd as long as you tell them it's an Iphone . The cost of being stupid just went up :laugh: .

We had this video posted in thee doubleshot section, the funniest thing about the whole video is most of them people had the iPhone 4S in one hand and in the other hand another 4S and was saying how much bigger and faster it was, along with photo quality. All you have to do is tell someone its new and they will believe it.
*on another note*
I just got updated the other night to iOS 6 on my ipod and it said there were 200 more features added but in the release notes you have to have a certain version of an iDevice to get this or that. So now apple is fragmenting their OS like Android so that's one less thing they can "brag" about.

This version of sense seems to be far more 'complete' and like you said... there are a lot of different launchers out there if it's not for you.

I want a feature rich phone and I hate AOSP UI. Yeah I'm a sense love eversince So go with HTC. Won't wait for a price drop here. This is just me showing my gratitude for them for reincarnating the nokia XpressMusic line on the latest devices.
Ok XpressMusic and HTC M7 are not totally the same but their line of designs are actually the same. More of like the casual type of phones where it looks really cool and not the typical classy look.
Oh I miss my last XpressMusic phone!!!

If you think about the poor countries which people still just start to use year 2008 model phones, you will see that the market is very big. Note: Most of the people in the world are in that group.
