HTC One wins "Best New Mobile Device" at Mobile World Congress

While the HTC One wasn't officially unveiled at MWC, it was most certainly the talk of the show. This is what most probably contributed the most to the HTC One winning the prestigious "Best New Mobile Device". We certainly aren't terribly surprised as it's probably one of the most alluring device we've seen from HTC. They have out done themselves in every possible way with the One and we hope to see the significant marketing muscle needed to get everyday people to hear about it.
