Does the volume go up to 11?

I think the phrase about going up to 11 is more famous than the manufacturer.

Dedicated music button? Que?

Edit: Oh I see, just a button that can be programmed to launch whatever music app you want.
Like the scroll wheel volume control though. Never understood the bleating about hi-res support though, my last three HTC's have all played hi-res flac?

They'll have to mention hi res support of its a music oriented phone. I think the USP is the DAC and their claim of superior speaker quality. Not sure if it's enough to entice people though.
