HTC has been experiencing some shipping delays with the One M9, presumably due to a lack of stock.

Coincidentally, our phone seems to have encountered more relaxed quality standards than is expected from HTC.

Straight out of the box we noticed a large scratch on the bottom left corner of the display glass.

And it doesn't stop there! When we first booted up the phone, we were greeted by a lovely defective pixel near the middle of the screen.

These issues are giving us a bad feeling about this phone...
