The HTC one XL is a blue tick phone, I have used mine way out in the boonies and been able to have reception where others have struggled with Iphone 4s and older and various other HTC/Samsung devices.

Well I'm not sure about the 5, but the 4S is definately gives blue tick performance, and out performs both the HTC and Nokia Lumia is our rural area (the only one that gets signal at our house)

From memory I dont think the 4S was rated as blue tick either by Telstra but it certainly performed well above the competition. I would be surprised if the 5 was worse but until they get into the wild its hard to say.

For me, I really dont GAF just as long as it works as designed to. I don't use my phone to its full capabilities either, it's cool to know it has those features. I only have the SGS2. I only went with the Samsung phone only because it came free in a bundle pack when I amalgamated my internet/landline/mobile in 1.
