Remember that video of HTC's year end party where the crowd was yelling M7? Something a lot of people didn't pick up was that they also yelled HTC One. It appears that just might be the official name of the M7. We always assumed M7 was just a codename, but then we were wondering a little bit when “M7” showed up in inventory systems for Carphone Warehouse and Vodafone. We also knew that HTC wants to simplify their naming scheme to create a solid brand like Samsung's Galaxy and Note series.

This latest rumor is courtesy of @evleaks, which has a pretty good track record at this point. Of course we won't know for sure until February 19, but it really does seem like the best name at this point. They could go with HTC Two or HTC One X2, but HTC One is just more classy. What do you guys think?

Don’t get HTC Sense naming convention, so it’s called the HTC one, but it’s newer and faster than the one X, one s etc? Way to confuse potential customers
