HTC M8/New Flagship

Recommended Posts

Base storage will be 32GB. I for one have two 32GB Sd cards so I'll be upgrading for that reason alone. Also - my brother's phone is a cracked S3 so he'll inherit my beloved G2. :P

 

I'm more interested in the color available. I kind of like the lighter silver but we'll find out tomorrow which colors are available for which carriers. I wouldn't want a color that can be scraped off.

I personally like a gun metal grey color, looks silver in daylight but at night Its more black. But the current one in red looks great, reminds me of a red rum plasti dipped m3.

My cousin is on AT&T and he's upgrading to this same device so I gotta make sure I don't grab the same color as him. LOL

 

The blue M7 looked amazing also.  Wondering if blue will be an available color again,  From what I hear, Best Buy has the exclusive gold color.

I currently have the One in silver and red but I am hoping that sprint has the New One in blue.  If not then my next choice will be red then the gunmetal grey.

Many sites are saying that this device is an in store exclusive only. You'll be able to purchase online but you can only get it in store on Verizon for about 2 weeks.

If this is true then that will be pretty awesome, guess we will find out in a few hours.

Engadget is reporting that a Google Play Edition will be available at launch:

Best part is that HTC is apparently making its apps available from the Play store as well, so we can take advantage of apps that really leverage the hardware (camera, IR blaster) without the rest of the bloat.  Very encouraging!

 

If, of course, a Sprint version of the Google Play Edition is available.

Other carrier will be taking order by April 10th, so I would assume it could be well before that as well.

Just got word that we might be able to order online today on sprint, not sure yet though.

Looks like you were right.  So I will be ordering two sometime today as soon as possible.

Yes, we can order online sometime today.

So looks like Verizon is the only one that has them in stores today, then? I was hoping to go grab it from maybe Best Buy on Sprint.

I'll be purchasing this device today. I think this device generated as Mich hype as the EVO did. Hopefully that doesn't mean montths of being sold out. Gunmetal too! And they are hyping up radio performance.

 

I wonder what AJ's stance on this device is.

I'm surprised this phone supports 700 tmus frequency already that's impressive on htc s apart and it also has dual carrier aggregate as well for att

I'm ready to go play with one in a store to compare it to my G2, I like the phone just nit sure would it be worth going to from a G2. Only concern is the slightly smaller battery in it, but I'll past judgement when I seen some stats from real users with real day to day stuff.

 

Edit: just looked at it on phonearena site and it don't show its tri band? I'm guessing it is just listed correctly at the time.

AJs article confirms it's triband enabled. Every Sprint phone from here on out will be triband enabled.

Ok, hopefully once Sprint starts rolling out the b26 it will be interesting. I'm on the fence about this phone, not sure if I should spend the money on it or not.

looking pretty nice, can't wait for a detailed comparison between the stock m8, m8 google play edition and the nexus 5.

Looks like there's only the 16GB Model online now.  Order form is live!

The one I am looking at says 32gb

    • S23 and S24 (at least ultra versions) have 4xCA NR. I currently have n41+n41+n25+n71 most places I go.  I think select devices have 2xCA upload but I do not think it is in widespread use yet. CA is still mostly download focused.
    • If they use n41 + n41 2CA, people that are somewhat distant from the cell site will have an OK download but the upload will be a disaster.  Upload capability on b-41 was always a disaster on the old Sprint Network.   Now, with n25 + n41 combination, even the more distant users have a more decent upload.  I see n41 + n41 + n25 now with my S22 and I understand that we will see 4xCA with newer phones in the future.     I also see n41 + n41 + n71 sometimes too. Also some other combinations of 25, 41, 71.  I would think that eventually we will see AWS paired with n41 too.  What I am not sure of is ----  when I see 3xCA on my S22, I can see the 3 channels involved in the download but I am never sure just what I have on the upload. I do not think I have 3xCA on the upload.
    • I don't know enough about the nuts and bolts of NR to know the answer, but is there a reason they're not doing two overlapping 100 MHz n41 carriers and using selective resource shutoff to make each one 97 MHz?  Thus making use of the full 194 MHz instead of leaving 4 MHz unused as implied by the current standard 100+90 configuration? - Trip
    • Looks like another T-Mobile 5G bump happened over the past week and a half, maybe less: n41 carriers are now 90+100 MHz, up from 80+100 (which in turn is up from 40+100 back in early March). This is on top of the new n25 carrier recently. As part of this, it looks like T-Mobile is starting to prefer n25+n41 2CA even when pushing data, rather than having higher levels of CA that would hit higher peak speeds; at least indoors I need to force n41-only if I want to see the full 190 MHz there. To be fair the speeds are plenty quick with that amount of spectrum, and I'm sure they're load balancing, and my guess is this is a little better for battery life? With this expansion, they're now at 10x10+10x10 n25, 15x15 n71, 100+90 n41, for a total of 260 MHz (including FD uplink) of deployed NR here, up from 250 MHz a week ago, 230 MHz two weeks ago, and 190 MHz six months ago. VZW is at 140 MHz minus mmW, 170 if you count n2 DSS. AT&T is at 150 MHz (80+40 n77, 15x15 n5), 210 MHz I think if you count n2 and n66 DSS (guessing they're still running those). With this level of spectrum they should be able to continue offering home internet wherever. Guessing this is the last upgrade they can make before they need to throw new equipment on sites for C-Band. At this rate I figure that'll happen next year on a few dozen high-traffic sites.
