Expect 700 to 800$ the first week, better wait a month more to get it at 500-550$
I've learned my lesson with the M9, never buying a phone so early after its release.

Overall the phone is good, but not the savior HTC despertly needs
To a degree, you are correct, but apart from iPhones and the G5 (and maybe some Chinese phones) I don't think any manufacturer uses a metal unibody for their phones. Samsung, for example, still uses glass at the back of their devices, and while it's better than plastic, it still doesn't feel as premium as the metal on HTC phones or iPhones.
It looks like a pretty good phone, I'm still waiting for the reviews and comparisons between it and the G5. It's a pioneer of some sorts by having OIS on the front camera and, albeit I don't buy a phone solely for its camera, the camera on the HTC 10 is a good selling point. There's also the new Sense which seems like a streamlined version of stock Android, not that that interests me but it might interest some people looking to get an Android but still want the more streamlined experience that an iPhone offers.
