Why you need a smartphone ??!!
For all your needs HTC One M8 can get the job done well.
buy it now and you will never feel sorry.
I tried so many smartphones LG G3, Galaxy S5 & iPhone 6 for some time but at the end I decide to get the M8, and for me it is the best smartphone I ever used.

Same here tried a hell of a lot of devices they all suck except the m8 best ever !

I am coming from nexus 5, g2, and s5 to HTC m8. I kinda regret waiting so long switching to m8. It's definitely one of the best smartphone I ever had. Build quality is top notch with amazing speakers. Battery life is really good and I really like sense features. Camera is decent but that's not the main reason why I bought it. I usually take pictures with my dslr.

i previously had xperia z2, then galaxy s5 and now HTC m8. and there is no doubt M8 is best among them. and i think it is still worth to buy one. amazing speed, good camera, beautiful finishing.

I've also tried all the top of the line phones and switched to new phones monthly, and than I got a m8 and the switching stopped.

Same here my wife was getting crazy i kept switching.
I think i dont switch this one anymore

Whether the phone is "worth it" to you, isn't a question other people can answer for you. It depends on what you have now, what you need the phone for, how much the money means to you, etc.
Its a great phone, and I can honestly say its probably still the best phone you can get at this time. Meaning, if I lost or broke my M8 and had to buy another phone for full price; I'd most likely just buy another M8.
On the other hand, if you have a decent phone now, there is likely going to be an impressive new HTC flagship coming in April. So you may want to wait. On the other hand, some folks switch phones like I change my underwear. So it really depends on you.

htc cutting their smartphones prices????!!!

wtf is that right htc cutting their phone prices because off the losses? i just bought the one x 2 monthes ago for about 600$ in asia! really stunned !
No idea if this is true but it makes sense, they are competing with alot of new phones at the moment (and coming up, like the iPhone 5) and yes bad economical times too for HTC, to keep up with the competition > lower prices.
Ya ..One X will be down to half n so does One S n One V will be given away for free with every Beats Headphones u buy..

If you read the source story the liklihood of it being true are slim. Since when does a site called "mydrivers" suddenly become credible? The bad press and rumor mongering are going to hurt HTC more than anything they do at their own hand.

Even of it's true so what? You already bought the phone and I don't know about you but I think I am gonna use the phone for a while and judging by how android phones have been sooner or later the price is gonna go down anyway because there will be newer phones with better specs sold for the same price we bought our phones awhile ago.
Sometimes I don't get the way you kids think SMH :what:

You hate the screen which takes 90% of the phone, hate touchwiz, which defines the way you interact with the phone but still think S3 is better... that makes sense. Or at least explains why you trust that source.
Let's get real. If there are some price cuts they will be for the Chinese version (HTC did say they will bet on the Asian market) which means locked bootloaders, internet limited to the Chinese version and all the other goodies the Chinese will make HTC include in the phone. Thanks, but no thanks!

They can sell them for what they want. It's an electronic gadget, they always always drop in price over time. Who in their right mind would be a) surprised & b) angry over this?

I don't understand why anyone would expect them not to cut the price. When I got my hTC Desire, it had to be on a £36+/month contract to be free. Just 6 months later, it was on £20 contracts and the One X is going that way. All phones do, they're never 'current' for very long, it's just something you have to accept when buying electronics these days. Next year, all the midrange phones will have quad core CPUs and HD screens, the the year after, a £99 network operator-rebranded ZTE will. It's a _good_ thing. Don't complain about being an early adopter, it's your choice to make.
Ask yourself this: While you may be able to purchase the phone, or an equivalent phone for less money now, surely you couldn't at the time you bought it? Are you not happy you've been able to use it until now?

when it was first launched, in UAE it was like DHS 2750 and after a month its DHS 2500 and stayed like that for 3 more months, now its around DHS 2300-2400. Thats normal for every phone i've got and even the s3 is around the same price now as well.

Worth Upgrading from M7?

The M7 is supposed to get Sense 6. The only things I see that the M8 has is the depth camera and better battery and microsd card. Is there anything else? Thanks.
Might as well wait M9

Short answer there is about as much reason to switch from the M7 to m8 as their is to switch from the S4 to S5..which is not much
-4.7in screen vs 5in screen, nice size upgrade, but the bottom buttons moved into the screen.
-Speakers are better on the M8, but they aren't bad on the M7
Reason's you may consider the upgrade:
-32GB storage is not enough, you can expand the memory up to 160GB Total on the M8
-Gun Metal Gray looks sick, I love the fit and finish of the M8, it does look better
I had the M7, got the Lumia Icon, which I am now upset I sold, because I really like the Windows interface and screen
- Was deciding between the M8 and the S5, and I am sorry, but Samsung just looks plain cheap, even though I know it's a great phone.
Lets see... A better processor, SD card, bigger screen, bigger battery.... I definitely think it's an upgrade. Personally I would sell off the M7 and pay the difference for the M8, the price difference is definitely worth the upgrade.
Sent from my HTC One_M8 using Tapatalk
In my opinion, the processor bump doesn't mean anything since I don't play games and the M7 is plenty fast. I don't use up much memory (don't watch videos or have lots of pictures) so the microsd card doesn't mean anything to me. Bigger screen is nice, but 4.7 is good enough for me. The only thing that looks really good to me is the battery life increase. I heard the speakers are better/louder, but then again, I don't watch movies on it and listen to music only on headphones.
Hard decision.

How can this possibly be a hard decision? You've basically said that every feature that could be considered worthy to upgrade for you aren't interested in. Just keep your phone, honestly. You've already answered your own question and you don't need people on the internet to help push you to an impulse buy.
Agreed. Thanks.

Yeah dude ...just keep your device and why troll the M8 boards? If you don't have the means to upgrade then don't. I like to have the latest and greatest cause I could.
Sent from my HTC One_M8 using Tapatalk
Battery life alone was enough for me to upgrade. I can easily go all day even with heavy use. The M7 I had to charge twice a day, with the same usage my M8 last all day. Something about the M8 that makes it so efficient. It's night and day difference, with that said all the other little aspect of the phone has been slightly upgraded and if the whole package is not enough for you to upgrade then I don't know what will.
Sent from my HTC One_M8 using Tapatalk
Seeing how I have both here at home I can say it's a beautiful step up from the m7. I actually bought the m8 and passed my note 3 to my lady which was using the m7. I always liked the m7 but lack of ad card support was what made me go back to Samsung,but after what they pulled with Knox I am done with them.

Seems to me that your decision isn't so hard then
I think the battery (particularly if you are a heavy user) and camera are enough of an upgrade to justify getting the M8. What makes the decision difficult is that the HTC one m7 is just a great phone making it too short a time to upgrade.
Personally I'm awaiting Xperia z2 before moving on from my HTC one.
The M7 is already such a great phone. I prefer the M7 over M8 as far as UI is concerned. I do struggle often with not having the SD slot as I often transfer apps/Tasker things between my phones a lot. I have to use OTG or bluetooth.

I made the switch and I love the M8, the build quality, new fit and finish, bigger screen, louder speakers, micro sd slot, dual camera, way better batterylife make it all worth it to me. I got mine off craigslist too (sealed and unopened for $560) beats $625 + tax from T-Mobile.

I dont have a EIP. I bought my last phone outright too (but from T-Mobile)
The phone was unopened and sealed and they told me that their sister (the one selling the phone) works at T-Mobile and was selling it and my guess is (from talking to my friend that works at T-Mobile) is they got it for cheap from HTC and turned around and sold it (HTC has promotions with T-Mobile employees (they do this every year) I am not worried.

Curious, by buying it second hand do you still have access to the HTC advantage insurance? Also any problems with warranty if something were to go wrong with it?
Those were the two issues that made me hesitant to pick up an M8 on craigslist, there were a few for sale a couple days even before they were released and I was actually pretty tempted to bite, but also the thought of EIP/stolen/lost blacklisted IMEI numbers scared me off.
my wife and son had m7's and I had one maxx on Sprint, but we switched to Tmo in February due to Sprints horrific network..
Now, they have G2's, and love them, and I have a LG Flex, that I dont like that much for a variety of reasons(zero development, no sd card, android 4.2), on my 3rd replacement right now, and would love to grab an M8, but have 3 more months to wait for my first Jump..
This phone looks like a home run, and I am blown away by how much development there is already for it!
Seems like it is a major upgrade from the M7 in alot of ways!!
Why would you get the Flex knowing 1st hand it was on an old software version and no micro SD card. I personally love the Flex minis the blue tooth issues with Netflix being a hair behind. Only reason of thinking on this phone.

M9 or wait for M10

I just had to return my M9 due to my IR blaster not work. I had the phone for about a week and REALLY enjoyed it. If I had to complain about anything it would be the battery. But debloating seamed to drastically improve the batteries performance and I was not quite finished debloating when I sent it back. I'm coming from a Nexus 5 just to give you an idea of what I'm comparing the batteries performance to.When I returned the phone Amazon had run out of stock on the Gun Metal Gray version and the listing was updated to, Manufacture disconnected.
I now sit here pondering if i should hold off a bit or spend 649$ and buy the phone from HTC's website. When I had the M9 it seemed like a couple roomers popped up on the M10. I'm not a big fan of the larger screen but the rest does intrigue me. I'm just worried I'll play the wait for something better game and never decide on a phone. Especially since the launch date still seems to be a heavily rumored April.
So my question to you all is would you recommend waiting for the M10 or just buy the M9 again for 649? My main reason for asking is like I said, I only had the phone for a week. I'd like to hear from people who have history with the M9 and what they would do if they were in my shoes.

Ive had the m9 since september last year, and i got no problems with it whatsoever. Had the guts of rooting my phone last week on MM. Nice experience, but if i would buy a new phone today, id probably go for the 6P. But thats just my opinion. Id suggest that you wait until the m10 drops and see if you like it first.

Thanks for the input.
I would go with the 6p in a heart beat its just to big for me. I don't want to go larger then a 5.2" screen.
As for the 5x I need more storage then 32GB. That's another reason why I liked the M9 is the expandable memory.
I love my M9, but I'd never pay $649 for it. Got mine last summer on swappa for around $400...you should check what's there now. But the price will come down even further if you can wait until the M10 comes out. Then again, the M10 may be worth going with, due to its SD 820 and better battery efficiency.
But I'm very happy with my M9...switch between it and my Moto Maxx.
i got m9 just one month after launching market i had really bad experience ( Bad battery , Camera , Design ( M8 was better) , thermal problem . its been several years iam using HTC flagship phones every year iam upgrading to new one but this M9 after one month i gave it my sister now iam with G4 waiting M10 and you should wait M10 .
The consensus is that it's much improved now vs. when it launched (due to software updates/optimizations, etc.). A good discussion is here regarding its update to Marshmallow:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=3304457
HTC One M9 Lollipop vs Marshmallow Comparison
The ONLY thing that keeps me happy about my m9 is boomsound. Nothing more.
I'd happily trade in if i could find another stereo device of equal spec.

I'd hold off at this point for the m10. Especially if you are going to pay full price for the m9.

Well I ended up picking up the M9 from BestBuy for 389. Paid about 50$ more compared to the one I got from Amazon but this one comes with a proper US warranty. If I would of had to pay full price I probably would of waited.
I noticed a couple hardware differences with the att version compared to the developer version I got from Amazon. But it's already imaged as a developer version and I'm near the end of my debloat process. Battery life is good and storage is nice and plentiful.
Thanks for the input everyone but I guess I'm a little to impatient.

Best Buy has some great deals ..My partner at work got 2 Galaxy S6 edge plus this morning for $214 and $200 in gift cards
they also had the Galaxy S6 edge for a penny and the same $100 gift card (he's on Sprint and was up for contract renewal )
Seems crazy their paying people $100 to take their samsung phones right now
http://www.bestbuy.com/site/samsung...rint/4424016.p?id=1219627836413&skuId=4424016
i got it for just 210$ (2nd phone but it pretty new). really cheap for a flagship
the only problem i have is bettery life (i move from droid turbo)
I bought the m9 after my m7 died...it should be here Monday. I was so in love with my m7 that I did not even bother reading reviews on the m9 -- big mistake. I have since checked into it further and am wondering if i should have purchased the galaxy s6...

Don't worry, the M9 is a much better phone than the m7 or m8. The reviews are old and wrong. The have nothing to do with the m9 on marshmallow. It's an outstanding device.

That's what I am hoping for! I have been trying to find some recent reviews and it seems they are all from 2015. I was really bummed when I saw the poor camera and battery performance....I am hoping the update fixed both of these. I cannot believe the battery is larger in the m9 but reviews said how it drained much faster than the s6. I also wish the m9 had a fingerprint sensor, but I figure I can live with out it since I have not had a phone with it yet.
M9 ****ntastic go fo it pal.

I Agree. M9 Great Device better than 6P which i sold today.kept my M9 :good:

Should I buy?

I'm thinking about getting the m9. I stretched a SGS2 all the way until Lollipop, and I've been running a hand-me-down moto g 2014 for a few a months. I normally use AOSP ROMs.
I'm looking for something with good performance in everyday tasks (no gaming or anything). I'm tired of all the lag.
It's been surprisingly hard to find a phone that will take an SD card without being a giant phablet. My top two considerations were Moto X Pure (too big) and a SGS5 (specs a little outdated). But I've been unsure.
I've never had an HTC product. Can anyone give me a reason not to go for m9? Any other suggestions? Everybody talks about Nexus...if only it took SD.
get the htc 10. it's still expensive if you don''t buy used, but doesn't matter since it's really one of the best phones outta there

I looked at an HTC 10 at the t-mobile store today. Wow! When I'm looking for a phone in a couple of years, it'll be at the top of my list! But right now it's too expensive for me. But it definitely outshines the others in 2016. I love the return of the capacitative buttons.
Going purely on specs (and price range), the M9 is my best option right now. I'll probably buy one this week.

Looking to buy m8

Hey guys i had g2 and g3 now i think i will go with htc one m8, since you guys know the device, do you have other suggestions? I choose m8 because it is cheap and i liked it back then... I prefer buying an old model, and having a good community on xda...
M8 is a bit over 220usd in here, because of taxes.
220 bucks for an m8 in late 2017....just drop the idea man...its way too much than what it should be, even more than double the reasonable price if u ask me.
I bought a sprint m8 just a while back for around 100usd and even then I believe I paid a lot more than what I got eventually.
The problem with buying an m8 this late is that the battery would have lost its original capacity and just won't hold up charge(this was the case with my device), and u wud surely require a battery replacement.
Otherwise the m8 is an awesome device with development still active. The best VFM device if u can grab one at 100~120usd(220 wud be a no brainer for me)
I can only agree with the poster above. Way too much for this old device.

Yeah that shud make more sense and cost a lot more less too, but its just not possible for everyone, considering how complex the internalities of the m8 are.
Nor is everyone a risk-taker
Anyways. I'm planning to disembark from the HTC ship very soon by trading my m8 with a OPO(I tragically bought a Sprint one which can't run 4g on networks outside the states)
And thanks for ur reply

How much can you buy a OnePlus 3 where you are? I'm seeing prices in the US around $250-300. Just a bit more, for a phone that is a couple generations newer, much faster, and a huge XDA community which is still very strong. Where the M8 community is getting pretty quiet. I loved my M8 and the community here. And everyone's situations is different. But to me, the M8's time is past.
