The problem is that they're losing the window of opportunity because of all those component shortages," Dennis Chan, analyst at Yuanta Securities told CNBC.HTC officials say they hope that when the HTC One arrives it will attract customers with a 4.7-inch full HD 1080p display and a 1.7-GHz quad-core processor.
