Just wondering who's gonna get an m8...

mpetruzz · Mar 30, 2014

I'm a tech junkie and often times will get the latest a d greatest just cause. I have a upgrade available but not sure if I wanna give up my rooted m7 for the m8.

I know its gonna be a bit faster and all but it just doesn't seem like that big of a jump. Figure I might wait and get one used in a bit.

What's everyone else doing??

I hear ya. The m8 does look sweet and would love to have one. Though I am running the m8 dump and the m7 runs it smooth as butter so I too would probably wait til the next, next best thing. Unless I win an m8 or get one for free somehow.

I usually get every other htc phone so im looking more towards the m9 next year...maybe then theyll fix the stupid logo bezel and have a more edge to edge display

I don't see the m8 offering anything to justify the cost over the m7. Like others said will most likely wait till the m9.

Since Verizon took their friggen sweet time to get the M7, I can guarantee that most people with the Verizon HTC One will wait for the M9 since we are locked into contracts.

I played with one today and best buy. After the initial "wow" wore off I didn't leave wanting to upgrade. I'm sure at some point I can get one used but no rush.

I'm getting one for sure. I'm stoked to have one on the way. Everything I want/need from a phone.

Honestly, what does it have that the m7 doesn't?

Bigger, better looking screen, better speakers, on screen keys, SD card slot. Basically its what I love about the m7 but better. Also, it feels incredible in hand. Also it was only $60 (technically) since I won it in a raffle.

Hey if you won it in a raffle then congrats! Free phone!

I hate on screen buttons, but some people love them. I do however, really miss the SD card slot.

Winning one is way different than paying 200 and being stuck for 2 more years lol

This is my train of thought. It isn't different enough to justify the cost when my m7 still blows most other phones out of the water.

I agree. The M8 is a step up, but not enough of a step to just toss the M7 in the trash. The only big thing that might push people to upgrade early is that sd card slot... it really sucks not having one on the M7

Just got my m8 today

I dont want an m8 because to be honest i think the m7 is a little to big. Just a little though, but i definitley dont want anything bigger. I would love an sdcard slot, but with usb-otg its not that big of a deal not having one. My next phone will be what ever the best phone is at or soon after my contract is up.

I would get an M8, if it kept the same design as the M7.
I hate the radius of the corners. IMO, it makes the device look childish.
Also, that bezel below the display seems really annoying.
I'm hoping that the replacement to the One Max is worthy of the One line.

mpetruzz · Apr 2, 2014

I kinda feel like we are hitting a critical mass point with these phones. The m7 screen is awesome, 32gb, great speakers and OK camera. If the m8 had a much better camera I'd be more interested. Other than that I don't think its diff enough to upgrade and be stuck for two years.

I'm with this too. The M8 looks cheap with the really rounded corners. The M7 looks like a more expensive device.

Its not cheap at all. Great build quality

I played with one. Def feels premium!! Bigger but felt better in hand cause it was thinner. Just not enough for them to earn my $$ and time for contract lol

Just wondering who's gonna get an m8...
