" I took the liberties of moving our thread from general to the HD forum"

In Denmark the rumors go from HTC them self that it will come in november so all can get it as a early X-mas gift but dont know other countries :S Unforntunaly

The Swedish online store Webhallen has it listed with a release date of 2008-11-19.
http://www.webhallen.com/prod.php?id=91090

A few weeks ago, I pre-ordered my HD from http://www.clove.co.uk/
They are guessing a mid November ship date!

Have anyone heard if this will have multitouch?
Wouldnt make sense if it didnt have it.
Batterytime seams low as well.
Hope they will have some hardware upgrades before release.

If only I can pre order HD!!!!!!
In my country there is no pre order available and I´m sure it´s going to be more than 6 months to a store to have it and very expensive.....
Hope a good friend travel to Europe soon!

Does anybody know whether Sprint US is getting this device?
Thanks.

Don't know bro, but if they are I might just jump ship. I get horrible Hsdpa on att. Iphones tie up the bandwith. Even though Sprints broadband is slower I beleive it is less congested

This is my next phone. I hope this beauty comes out soon... (I'm in the US)

Am I reading the specs right?
Is the 3G support for GSM in USA missing from this phone?
I hope I'm wrong... I would like to get this one on ATT... really don't wanna go back to sprint.

Sprint should get it. They have gotten all the flagship HTCs so far so...

Right There is no 3g Support to the US in with the Euro HD version.
Much Like Same as the Touch pro and DIamond, we will have to wait for the U.S. version.
And like I said on Tito's thread. AT&T would not introduce this iphone killer and jeopardize its exclusivity with Apple. Apple is the most marketable phone in the US. Whatever they touch turns to gold it seems. Anyways, Sprint needs to reinvent itself and they seem to be doing this by acquiring the latest phones. Only problem is that they are notorious for handicapping the **** out of them.

Does anyone know if this will be realsed on Orange UK?

Any new or rumour about navigation software ?
Rgds,

Right now we know its GSM only cause in the picture it shows 3g simple on top right corner...i highly doubt we would even see this in the States...but i can hope...man only if it support America GSM highspeed

is this a fair critisism? There are not many phones/pda's that have good "hd" video qualities, surely the hd is reference to its wide screen and resolution which is better than most other alternatives? i guess some of us will have to buy n try, like i did with my touch cruise

HTC One (M8) Drop Test

1st page yes ! Lol , btw thx for making the thread , good luck with it

I wonder if there will be 'Dual Sim' version like the One (M7)?
I am looking for high end dual sim phone and the One fits the bill.

I'm going to get my m8 very soon, hope that the ac version would be sold in Hong Kong, and hope there won't be any differences in software

Judging from past history, there will be a dual SIM version for the China market at the very least.
Also if you notice the SIM tray can be modified to support dual SIM.

I just went into my local Carphone Warehouse to look at the HTC One M8 display that they had.
It has cemented my love for HTC and the One series.
The build quality looked great from what I could see, nice screen, the body felt weighty and premium (although it was hard to hold the device properly - it was smothered with security tagging)
I installed Antutu Benchmarks and started to take a video of it, until a store assistant came over and started a conversation with me... "Can I help you?".
He then proceeded to ask me what handset I had, when he saw it was a One M7 he then told me that the M8 wasn't worth the upgrade (to my dismay, is this his sales technique? Abysmal).
He then told me that the M8 had a 16mp camera, at which point I laughed and said that it didn't - he doggedly tried to reassure me that it did, while I assured him that it didn't.
He did say that one good thing about the handset over my M7 was the fact that it was running Android 4.4.2 KitKat, which my M7 couldn't run, I then showed him my M7 running KitKat - he asked me how and I said I'd rooted it and had installed a Custom ROM, to which his reply was "a what?".
Oh and I also spoke to him about my dislike of the onscreen buttons and the bezel, again to which he replied "what?", so I had to point out to him the difference between my HTC M7 capacitive buttons in the bezel, to the M8 onscreen buttons with added bezel.
He then got what I meant when I told him that it then made the 5" screen 4.7" effective...
I love the staff in the Carphone Warehouse!

I would have just said "Yes, it does" and showed him. Wtf does rooting/custom roms have to do with having 4.4.2??

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
No as the update is being released for the M7, I just happened to be rooted and have 4.4.2 installed long before the update was available for my handset.
Anyway, that's off topic, my point is that this salesman was [email protected] and didn't know anything about the beautiful HTC One M8 that he was selling.

I think you might complain about the poor signal strength and how you can't hold it without pressing the screen.

I can see the unwanted screen presses, but why would that have poor signal strength?

Exactly what I am looking for.
I have waited a little while before making my decision on what to buy to see if there will be a new HTC One (M8) version and it looks like there should be.
Would anything beat the HTC One (M8) as a dual sim phone except for maybe a potentially new HTC One Max (M8) dual sim phone.

I don't understand why this is what moto calls an upgrade. The display is bigger, but the pixel density is lower too, the camera is bumped to 8mp, but everything that really counts, such as the CPU, ram, and the GPU is the same. Even the battery is the same size.....c'mon moto, step it up.

I wish it had a 4.5 - 4.7" screen with an upgrade to the CPU and/or RAM and/or GPU. But I like that it has microSD, FM and front-facing speakers; I don't care about 4G at all. I'm not too concerned about battery life, since anything will be an improvement from the old Sensation that I'm replacing.

Maybe that's why they didn't changed the name. It is essentially the same phone.
Here in Brazil there are only 2 models being sold
8GB, dual sim
16GB, dual sim, DTV
Looks like the model name here is XT-1069 (online stores here are using this code to both models, needs to check)

I dunno where you got better camera from, just cause it has more mp doesn't make it better. I've seen 8mp cameras blow 13mp cameras out the water. And again, what good is a bigger screen if it isn't as sharp, not saying it's not sharp, but it's yet to be seen. Don't get me wrong, I'm buying it, and I have a first gen now, I just think they could've done better. 2gb of ram is the move they should've made, but who am I, I'm just a consumer. Also, extra, front facing speakers are awesome, if they sound good, which is lso yet to be heard. I'm a Verizon ( xt1028 ) user, which is locked down tighter than Ft. Knox. If the boot loader on the gen 2 can be unlocked and the device can be rooted, I'll be ecstatic.

For the money paid the phone is great. I'm not putting the device down, like I said, I own one myself and will be buying a new one. All I'm saying is that IMO they concentrated on the wrong things. Although the display upgrade is a beautiful thing, they definitely should've upgraded the ram. A CPU upgrade would've been nice, but certainly not that important as the Qualcomm 400 is a great SoC.

Hold on, let's also not forget that they upgraded the Wifi chip too. It now supports AC, and it's dual band instead of single band. I feel like that's pretty big.

Yes it is. I forgot about that. That's huge.

Is the dual sim model more expensive than the single sim model ?

It was initially reported to be dual band, I remember clearly reading that, but my XT1068 is single band, and now the specs on the Motorola website say single band.
Unless anyone knows different, I think its just 802.11 b/g/n

Damnnnn..... anyone know if they're releasing a Verizon prepaid version again? I'm starting to think that if they were they would've already done so.

Don't forget that Moto G 2014 has Gyroscope, Moto G (2013) has not.

Moto G or Moto G2?
I thinking about buying a Moto G but im very undecided between the two version
I had a very bad experience with a 5' screen.
Can someone point me if it is worth the new version against the old one?
PS: I thinking in the dual sim version 16gb either way.

Sorry about going off topic, but I'd love to hear about this bad 5" screen experience.

HTC M9 / HTC Hima specs
The HTC M9 specs rumored leaked. Same specs as droid turbo. Those specs will be outdated by the time it comes out. They need to step up their game with Snapdragon 810, 16 ultrapixel cam 8mp front cam. 4k screen if possible prob not though. 64 bit processor, 3 gig ram 3gh 30% louder boomsound. I even emailed HTC about it today. I feel they should listen to people about what they need in a phone.

I could care less about the cpu processor at this point. it only can get so good with phones.. The cpu it have now is plenty fine . The camera needs updated, and work on the boom sound some more.
I could care less about a 4k screen
A phone does not need a 64gb processor
so:
-better camaera
-improve boom
-Improve screen
-larger screen
- it will be sweet if they could make the buttons on the side touch

that are just rumored specs, which aren't official yet so yea i assume the real specs will be different!

Who are you. HTC know what they are doing. Most people buy phones every two years, so they are catering to the people with m7s

Most people do NOT buy every 2 years. More like every year , a very small percentage do the every 2 year thing

Wow are you requesting a spaceship?
1- nothing is called M9 it's HIMA now.
2- No 4K screens yet.
3- bigger speakers bigger camera means way thicker phone.
4- 8MP on the front is #fail. You need something like Ultrapixel so image quality will be the same in sunlight and dark conditions. Even our 5MP front camera sucks in low light.

So you did a quick google search to find the first phoney website that reported user upgrade every 2 years. let alone, the article is dated JUNE 2011.. Failed!!! On so many levels
users now are updating every year, that is why tmobile, Verizon,sprint and ATT offers early upgrading. if it was not a niche for it companies would not be offering it
People are upgrading phones when ever they see one they like which is 6 months to 1 year
try again:silly:

Here's my sources http://www.trustedreviews.com/news/...2-inch-qhd-display-and-snapdragon-805-inbound

The Sony Z4 is supposed to be Snapdragon 810 so HTC should be doing 64bit soon since their mid-range is already 64bit.
HTC One M8

I really hope we are not forced to go above 5" if we want a flagship HTC phone.
Fingerss crossed for:
5" 1080p or QHD
8mp+ ultra pixel
805 sOC
2GB or 3GB ram
32GB minimum storage with SD support
minimum bezel (remove the HTC logo part)
Dual speakers
something like

5.2" would be perfect.
HTC One M8

But this will come out 2015. Bigger is better would be so last year

Honestly I don't see trend disappearing any time soon. Go figure a phablet in 2011-2012 with the original note was 5.3 now that is considered normal lol

I need
At least a 5.5 with thin bezels like LG.. (qhd wont really matter, apps are not optimized)
16mp/5mp
805/810
3GB RAM
Louder Boom Sound Speakers
Bigger Battery
32Gb/64Gb

Do you only know people who are all like us? My mom is using a Note 2, one brother an S4, and my other brother a Note 3. One of my buddies is still using an One M7 . Know a few other people who are using older phones than those too.

No way, this might be the case in the US, Europe, Japan and smaller richer Asian countries but definitely not the majority of the people. It's not affordable for them which is precisely why Google wanted to change their tactics and bring out affordable devices that runs latest Android but at a cheaper price like the Moto G(?) and the Nexus devices(Even though it's not widely available). It's common fact that majority of the users of Android still use old Android versions(Honeycomb, Gingerbread, ICS). This is definitely true where I'm at as well, I see a lot of people with early Android devices, most of them walk with S3s, few people have the S4, S5, HTC One M8/M7 or Sony Xperia Z, Z2 haven't even seen anyone with a Z3.
It's not affordable for the majority of people on this planet and statistics like that should include everyone not just those from wealthy 1st world countries where buying a phone every 6months is the fashionable thing to do.
That being said, this entire topic shouldn't even be here, it should be in the OFF-Topic or general section(Not related to a specific device forum). So I just made my post before the close.

I want that awesome wallpaper!

any release information on U.S ?

There are actually two main Zenfone 2 models, ZE551ML and ZE550ML, and many different variations within the same model.
Here are the spec sheets:
The US$199 price point is rumored to be the 720P ZE550ML with 2G/16G. 1G/8G models will only be available in limited select countries.
ZE551ML is definitely the preferred model, given the spec boosts. It includes brushed metal back cover(as oppose to matted),1080P, higher RAM range(2G or 4G), higher CPU range(z3560, z3580), quick charging and NFC.

Just waiting for reviews on basic things like call quality , mic quality , audio output , speaker performance , camera , video , GPS performance ...
I dont mint the 1.8GHz/2GB version ... 1.8GHz with that battery should be good ... I think its gonna be almost the same price as it was 1st launched i.e. 10k or so ... But let's C ...
Kudos to ASUS

Will this be available for Verizon, or just 'unlocked' for other networks like AT&T?

couldn't care less about that exaggerated 4GB RAM but the rest is something to look forward to

$200 for the 2gb version... maybe the 4 Gb version will cost less than 16K

Note that the prices are before any taxes ..And I have no idea how much it will cost after taxes here in India...

Is there not a set tax in India like there is in the US?
On another note, looks like bands 2 and 4 are Verizon networks, and this phone says it is supported there - but not sure if that means it will work with Verizon or not. Want to get rid of my S4, just wondering if I should jump on an LG G3 or wait for this.
But it is not on LTE 13, which is also Verizon and I guess their main? Fail. Oh well.

ASUS Poland confirmed that ZE551ML 2GB RAM, 16GB ROM will cost $199.
