Yup... slightly disappointed, but not including a camera button makes total sense given their philosophy of "Zero gap"
Sorry to rain on everyone's parade here but i really can't believe HTC have sacrificed there multitasking button for there stupid Logo.
I really like the look of the device but to replace a button with a stupid logo is totally beyond me.
Couldn't agree more. It's an idiotic decision. I probably use that button more than any other.

Only if you don't use the capabilities of your phone. If you do -- and I do -- you use it a LOT.

Guys you doable tab the home button for multitasking! So stop complaining you can map the button like in sense 4+,This is the most incredible device launch since the iPhone 4, Even the press conference was apple like, all the camera, zoe, sense 5 all incredible, battery life should be good as well, I wanted to keep my One X but I can't because how beautiful this thing is, I'm in love

im glad this is mentioned clearly in the global specifications page
http://www.htc.com/www/smartphones/htc-one/#specs
lets hope it stays that way...a little disappointed as well it uses DDR2 and clearly states it by the way...soon we will tell what is lost in the benchs
comparing dimensions and weight:
One X: 134.36 x 69.9 x 8.9mm, 135 grams
One: 137.4 x 68.2 x 9.3mm, 143 grams
also like we say in my country, it was "low" from Nvidia to announced Tegra 4i in almost the same time, unfortunatly i fully agree with Semiaccurate on this one, its a ridiculous plan B by Nvidia...sigh

Key mapping doesn't help when you only have a total of 2 keys to map.
a double tap isn't as efficient as a button. As i've said earlier HTC have no multitasking key because they opted to put their Logo instead.
You can defend it all you like but it's still wrong. I'll wait for the reviews before judging it, a launch event is just an hour of PR after all.

double tapping home is hardly a deal breaker when they have innovated with almost every aspect of this phone.

"Right now, the One X has few serious rivals. It's blessed with a gorgeous screen as well as an attractive design, and it houses a terrifying amount of power within that svelte and lightweight frame."
Put simply, the HTC One X stole the show at Mobile World Congress
"Engadget"
The HTC One X features a beautifully crafted polycarbonate unibody that has the ruggedness of metal but is super lightweight. With seamless construction, the unibody combines a unique high gloss 'piano' finish and a matte back. HTC One X is blazing fast with the new NVIDIA® Tegra 3 Mobile Processor for clear graphics, faster applications and longer battery life. It includes a 1.5GHz Super 4-PLUS-1™ quad-core with an integrated fifth Battery Saver Core and a high-performance 12-Core NVIDIA® GPU. The HTC One X also has an amazing 4.7-inch, 720p HD screen crafted from contoured Corning™ Gorilla Glass. HTC One X will also be available in select 4G LTE markets with a LTE-enabled Qualcomm Snapdragon S4™ processor with up to 1.5GHz dual-core CPU’s.
The HTC One X begins with a beautiful crafted poly-carbonate uni-body, it got the ruggedness of metal but its super-light, the uni-body has authentic color through and through and it's super rugged, super durable. We thought a lot how to get the most out of this poly-carbonate uni-body and we began with seamless construction, the One X has this beautiful piano gloss edge around the perimeter of the phone and a matt back surface, it's the intersection of these two textures that creates a crisp surface break, it's this detail that really maximizes the precision and beauty of the material, we've taken this premium housing and combined it with 3D Gorilla glass, the glass curves and flows over the edge, this phone feels great when you pick it up, in fact when i'm using this phone i'm always rubbing my finger around the outside surface, it really feels awesome, we've obsessed about the tiniest of details on the One X, a good example is the way we've micro drilled the speakers holes to reach that perfect edge, it's attention to detail like this that really sets it apart, i like to describe the One X by distilling it down to three basic ideas, piano gloss side walls, curved glass and a simple iconic camera detail, it's the whole design sysyncly described in three short phrases
The HTC One S is for people who want a high-end smartphone in a more compact size. It is powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon S4 processor with up to 1.5GHz dual-core CPU’s. It also includes a 4.3-inch screen crafted from contoured Corning™ Gorilla Glass. HTC One S brings HTC’s innovative metal unibody styling to a new thin 7.9-mm design, making it HTC’s thinnest phone yet. The HTC One S sports two new finishes that break new ground in mobile phone innovation. The first is an ultra-matte black Ceramic Metal surface that is the result of a microarc oxidation (MAO) process originally developed for use in satellites. It transforms the surface of the aluminum unibody into a ceramic, super-dense crystalline structure that is four times harder than anodized aluminum, enabling the HTC One S to look great over time. The second finish for the One S takes anodizing to a new level with a new patented process that creates a light-to-dark gradient fade that looks gorgeous and sophisticated
Definite performance increase.
