Ladies and gentlemen, can I please have your attention? I have some urgent and horrifying news.   The Sprint variant HTC M8 has just hit the FCC OET this afternoon.  We will try to have further info

Are you feeling OK? You look a little ill. You should probably go home and get some rest.   Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk

I hope HTC nails it. I had the HTC EVO and loved it. Since then, they haven't produced a device I can actually own regardless of how much money they throw at ads. My hard spots are (and I'm paticular) :

- the rubber band action (or lack thereof as it does this stupid accordion effect) reaching the end of the menu is ugly

- I don't want a silver phone so hopefully their color options of red, black, and/or white come out at launch (I don't want a year old phone)

- have the best processor (I for one tax my phone so heavily on normal usage that I can even bring a Nexus 5 to its knees)

- fix the front side button layout

- have another way to turn on my screen (I hate having the power button be my only way to turn on the screen since it requires undue effort when I'm not holding my phone in my hand already - e.g. ; knock on, active notifications, Google search turn on, back of phone button, etc.

I don't understand what you are talkign about here.  Is this the action where the lists bounce back when you hit the end of them?  If so, I don't understand your disdain for it.

- I don't want a silver phone so hopefully their color options of red, black, and/or white come out at launch (I don't want a year old phone)

I got my Black edition the same day my GF got her silver.  There normally is two options at launch.

- have the best processor (I for one tax my phone so heavily on normal usage that I can even bring a Nexus 5 to its knees)

Rumors are it will. 

- fix the front side button layout

This has not changed since the EVO, or at least from what i remember.

- have another way to turn on my screen (I hate having the power button be my only way to turn on the screen since it requires undue effort when I'm not holding my phone in my hand already - e.g. ; knock on, active notifications, Google search turn on, back of phone button, etc.

This i can kind of agree with.  tablets use other buttons like home buttons to wake the screen.

Whatever the HTC M8 is ultimately called, it is not going to have a significantly better processor than the Nexus 5.  At best, it will be a modest upgrade.  At worst, it will use the very same Qualcomm chipset as the Nexus 5.  If that is inadequate for you, you may need to rethink your usage profile.  Otherwise, you may need to move to more appropriate hardware than a smartphone, which you should remember is still at its core a phone.

People seem to be concerned about the front HTC logo killing off potential screen estate. Looks kinda fishy to me, if that's what it'll look like. We'll see when HTC announces it.

I don't mind the black bar there. The phone resembles the HTC One and looks so pretty. I might be picking this device up on Day 1.

While I do enjoy my G2, I'll likely pick up either the S5 or the M8.  We'll see which one has an SD slot and better RF performance. :P

Pretty sure you can count the M8 out on an SD card slot...

 

You still couldn't sell me on a Samsung device. Especially after using the N5.

I think just about everything that has been "leaked" so far are all fake.  I do think that this one, which is also a render, is the closest to how it might look.

If it looks anything like that, I will fall in love.

What do you think about this one?

I think its definitely a photoshop of the current One but it would be nice if it did have all that screen with basically no bezel.

That's just as pretty, but I prefer the rounded-ness of the other render.

So we now have this leak which actually does look like the device but the screen looks small almost like a mini version. But that could be the depth perception. http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/AndroidPolice/~3/pTzyZz9oRZk/story01.htm

 

Which the above link could be a mini as this was the leak from the other dayhttp://www.slashgear.com/htc-one-2-m8-details-leak-in-up-close-photos-12316740/

I'm not a fan if this leak is true. The black bar with the HTC logo and asymmetrical speaker grills will annoy my ocd.

Personally I love the design. And I like how they brought the metal around the device this time around. There is a photo of the top of the device too. It's all black and glossy and the IR sensor seems present once again.

It's bezel time! Ugh... I hate HTC. Their last phone had a useless HTC logo at least surrounded by useful buttons. Now we get more bezel for no added benefit! On-screen buttons were supposed to make the screen bigger, not smaller.

      Kind of amazing that T-Mobile is still holding onto that speed title despite Verizon all but killing off lowband 5G on their network. While Verizon is mostly being evaluated on mmWave and C-band performance, T-Mobile and AT&T's average 5G speeds include their massive lowband 5G networks that are significantly slower.

      Yup. Very true. We were originally on an Everything Data 1500 Plan, which got Unlimited Minutes thanks to Marcelo's "Loyalty Benefits" offer. We then switched to Unlimited Freedom (with the Free HD add-on that Sprint originally wanted $20/month per line for.... remember that?) because the pricing was better with "iPhone for Life", vs. the "Loyalty Credit" for staying on a Legacy Plan. After that, I ran the numbers and switched us over to Sprint MAX, especially for the international travel benefits. There's absolutely no reason for us to switch to Go5G Plus or Go5G Next if we're going to do BYOD by purchasing from Apple/Samsung/Google directly as we've been doing. These new plans aren't priced for current customers to switch to. They're priced for new customers, where they throw in a free line, etc. It's gone from "Uncarrier" to "Carrier". What a shame.

      Strange business model that they keep around all these pricing plans. 1000s of plans per carrier is reportedly not uncommon.  Training customer support must be a nightmare. Even MVNOs have legacy plans. A downside of their contract mentality I guess. Best to change contracts during a recession. But then all carriers try to squeeze out legacy plan benefits as they grow old.

      Everything "Uncarrier" is becoming "Carrier" again. Because of the Credit Limit that T-Mobile put on our account for no reason at all (and wouldn't change/update the last time I checked all the way up to the CEO), I don't plan on buying/upgrading our iPhones through T-Mobile. I'm going through Apple directly. Looks like I'll be going through Google and Samsung directly for our other lines for upgrades. Also, we're staying on Sprint Max given the ridiculous pricing for Go5G Plus. On Sprint Max, we currently pay for our Plan: $260 for 7 Voice Lines $25 for two Wearable Lines. (One is $10/Month. The other is $15/Month because the AutoPay discount only applies up to 8 lines.) Total: $285/Month vs. Go5G Plus (Per the Broadband Facts "nutrition label" on the T-Mobile Website): https://www.t-mobile.com/commerce/cell-phone-plans $360 - ($5 AutoPay Discount x 7 Voice Lines) = $325 The Watch Plans show as either $12/Month or $15/Month: https://www.t-mobile.com/cell-phone-plans/affordable-data-plans/smartwatches So this is about the same for the wearables as what we're paying now. Overall, it's quite more than we're paying now to switch plans. Ridiculous....
