A few days ago I picked up a HTC One V. First impressions are very good!
No problems while calling, clear voice.
Signal strenght on 2G and 3G good enough to be used indoors in a reasonable covered area.
Audio quality over headphones is good, this phone has 'Beats Audio', but unfortunately no 'Beats' headset included. Only drawback is a slight noise when the audio player is not playing (sounds like noise from a bad isolated microphone recording), but not noticable while playing audio.
As far as I've experienced, the battery life is above average. My previous phone, Samsung Galaxy Mini, lasted about 1-1,5 day. This one however, is now being heavily used for 2 days and still has 50% left.
Hope I helped you a little bit!
