T-Mobile doesnt have MAO coating so no chipping
HT23SW - 1 week no chipping around phone, slight wear on USB port
Oh, T-Mo doesnt have the black version? Hmmm...
300+ ppi is just too superior to One S, but i still too addicted to the sexy appearance of One S. If One S still chips like this, i'll get One X instead.My wife dropped hers last night (the phone not her knickers) and there's a few dinks along the back. But there's also wear around the usb port from charging. She's had it about 6 days
On a side note, her screen is not nearly as sharp as my HOX. It looks a little blurry around the fonts etc.
Ok then I decided. I'm going for the grey version! I'll go look at the black one in the shop once it's available here to see what that feels like and what I am missing, or not lol
I've had my phone for almost 2 weeks now and there appear to be no visible chipping around edges at all. Just the inside of the micro-USB port as you just explained, since obviously, before coming to this thread I wasn't being particulary touchy about plugging the cable in.Had mine for the weekend now hiking in the mountains and generally using the phone as I expect to use it, and I see no chipping i can't explain. Edges look fine, as do the rest of the bodywork.
Only places I can see glimpse of aluminum is around (almost inside) the micro-usb entry hole. This I would say is expected, as I have a little trouble getting the cable to hit the hole right in pitch dark (alright, I've gone to bed a fair bit later than my spouse, and didn't want to turn on the lights and wake her up)
So far I must say I'm happy with the phone and the finish. Lets see how it fares after a week at work. Two days in the delivery-truck followed by two nights of unloading parcels and pallets from containers. I expect it to hit the floor at least once, falling from my pocket
Expect an update next weekend

My phone is also bought in Norway btw, at a Netcom store. Sorry to hear other people complaining so much about their handset when mine turned out to be such a fantastic and fabulous looking device
Just luck I guess?
Is the chipping on the One S due to a poor production or a flawed design?
Then I accidentally dropped it a few days ago and now theres a huge spot where the paint came off. Larger than any of the pictures in this thread. Ever since then I have been experiencing two more small chips on the exact same location as many other users.
I would really like to post the picture but I can't post outside links. Forum regulations because I am a new user.
But I dropped it from about 50cm, about knee height.
BTW, some off topic one, does the flickering screen issue of One X exist on One S?
You have to be really dumb to release phones like this. This is not the first time HTC has done this. QA obviously sucks at HTC
