It's great that HTC makes this statement.. honestly though big red has been the reason for software delays for most devices. You never know maybe (very optimistic) they will change their ways. I know as soon as L drops the incredible devs here will improve it for this device.

Excited to be up to date. I've always had phones that were outdated at purchase and never received updates. Finally something nice.

we know HTC seems to be on their game for the GPE releases. So if they release L for GPE will that count for them releasing it within 90 days.

Also Verizon really drags their feet on updates.

Excellent

This is great news... if only I had waited to get the GPE edition.

I really don't care how long Verizon or HTC delay the update, all that matters is when will the CyanogenMod team get the update? <G> That's when I'll get it.

Just remember guys, whoever releases any builds of L, the dev release is an ALPHA build. Which means some stuff isn't gonna work. And if it doesn't, don't blame the dev's. There's already been a lot of people whining on androidpolice and other sites about apps not working, and other stuff not working correctly, and blah blah.

Agreed. I think a lot of people are going to bash the devs over things being broken. If there is even a port that boots it will be fun to mess with. I wouldn't expect a functional daily driver for at least two months.

The first ones won't even be alpha. What we will get at first will be ui elements put on top of kk. Also who knows how well the version of ART in the preview will play with the m8 in its current state.

at the rate verizon holds back updates, i wont be surprised if the verizon m8 gets the L update and still doesn't have extreme power saving mode lol
