I really like the black model but am really worried the black will easily scratch of and look horrible. Thoughts?
If the One S is anything to go by, you're new black phone will look like ****e by the end of the week. My friend has one and the corners and edges were down the silvery alloy in no time. It looks bloody awful like he dropped it.
Solution! Buy a black marker pen. Its like makeup for your crappy HTC phone!
Another thing to consider would be HTC's track record so far.
Have they anodised previously?
If so, was it any good?
That would be a good indicator for this model.
What ar you talking about? Your statement doesn't even make any sense. What does One S have to do with anodized aluminum and HTC One? And what are you talking about your friend having the One already? And it already has scratches and nicks? @.@

When I said my friend has one I was referring to an HTC one s as that is what I was using as an example. Of course he doesn't have an HTC one as it has not been released yet. What has the "HTC one s" got to do with it? It also had the anodized aluminum and looks like a right mess after a couple of weeks. Google it.
Calm down dear.. it's only a phone!
The grey one S is using anodized aluminium and has no chipping issues.
The black one S has a MAO layer, which has chipping issues, however, HTC quickly fixed it with newer models that had smoother/rounder edges and a bevelled USB port so the chipping didn't happen by itself. Saying that, I have had my one S since April (the first version) and it is still in perfect condition except the edges of the USB port.
AFAIK, the black "one" does not have a MAO finish.
