Maybe this is why Version didn't over order or even bother to carry the stealth black HTC One.

It seems that there's something in the works...

An updated One where, "serious internal hardware changes to update the current handset."

HTC even may be looking into merging the Butterfly and One...

From what I read the new 2014 flagship One could be announced in February (to coincide with Mobile World Congress).

So for those who are waiting for the black HTC One...do we wait a while longer for either the "upgraded" One or just hold out for the all new 2014 model?

I wouldn't wait for a plastic HTC One, even if it was black.  One of the big selling points to me is the high production value of the physical handset.  If I'm going to spend $600 on something I want it be worth the money from a functional and style standpoint. That's why I'm still holding out.

I know what you mean but then again this may give the option for swappable batteries and or mico mini SD card.
