    I think Le Max 2 is better alternative than HTC u ultra. It is cheaper and has nearly the same specifications minus microsd card slot and secondary screen. I am waiting for Le MAX3 which will also have SD 821 and bigger battery.

      I really Don’t think the U is going to have any kind of decent sales. It’s a lot of money for what’s being offered! Good luck!

        HTC u ultra saw 100 dollar price decrease to 650 but I think it is a flop even if they sell it around 400 dollars. The screen is huge and battery is small. I dont know how can someone survive on that phone.
