HTC M8/New Flagship

Any idea on Best Buy? I'm skeptical to order online because of the G2 fiasco.  They didn't know when my order would ship then and I didn't want to wait and had to get a supervisor after countless calls to cancel the order so I could get it the following day in store.  

 

Their site says it'll reach my location on April 1st, but I'd rather just pick it up in store.

 

Nope, I would assume around the same date. Verizon only has a 2 week exclusive.

I got the device with my upgrade. It was 199.99 plus tax.

Yeah, doing it through telesales is 249.99 then a 50 mail in rebate.

I'm tempted to order because I'm impetuous. But I already have the nexus 5 original 2013 HTC one and the ONE max. I don't think I need it! But I want it!

You only live once so just ball out, LOL. I am like you, I got the One, One Max and N5 and I still bought the m8.

MINE HAS SHIPPED!!! It says delivery on Thursday but all the other times I've ordered it said two day then upgraded to overnight. Lets hope they continue that tradition.

Looks like HTC is making apple like moves revealing the product and have it ready for purchase the same day. Except I don't think apple items ship same day

Best Buy can take in store pre orders for the M8 currently. The latest communication states that the Sprint version can not be sold in store until 4/6. VZW and AT&T are available to sell as soon as stock arrives.

Anyone get it through Easy Pay on existing line on Framily?  Do not want to add a new online, gives options online to join Framily with Easy Pay but need to add new line.

I actually like these ads. They're more convincing than the ads with RDJ in them. This is almost a mockery of all of those other tech companies that like to show off nonstop. HTC is simply saying, "We're not going to tell you what to do, we let the reviews speak for themself and they say that our phone is the best."

How do you embed YouTube videos?

When you press the share button on YouTube it gives you the copy embed code which includes the embedded code so you can play from site without going into YouTube page.

Just paste the link. The forum does the rest.

I'm hoping to see some comparisons regarding LTE performance between this device and the N5.  Anyone got an M8 order that already has a N5?  

Well I already have an N5 so as soon as I get the m8(it shipped already should have it tomorrow) I will be doing comparisons almost immediately.  I just hope it doesn't disappoint.

Got my email late last night with tracking information as well, should get it sometime tomorrow.

 

 

 

I think these videos are actually pretty well made, much better than that RDJ garbage from last year.

Yeah I agree, definitely a huge improvement to the RDJ ads.

As always, I look forward to your first look/thoughts.

 

PLEASE let us know how RF compares to the N5!

that is what I want to know as well. I would have made my way to a Verizon store to play with one hands on but it's too cold for that it's supposed to be spring and its like 30 degrees outside!

Weird question I know but...

Is the "Settings" menu on the M8 (or M7) white font on black/dark background? Or is it the standard black/gray font on a white background?

 

Thanks for the info.

I want to get this device. I haven't bought a HTC device in a long time. However, I'm unwilling to sign a contract with ATT and I don't want to fork out the $650. I haven't touched my savings at all this year. I need to be a good boy!

    • 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.
