original info was that "all us carriers" would be on board,so for me it will depend on the availablity of a t mobile variant(i think they are the most versatile). with newer phones im still a bit afraid of getting one that wont be s-offable(aka tegra 3 one x :mad:) so i may also wait until the confirmation that something is working.

not sure what im looking forward to the most... the bigger screen or having an actual sd card again :D

I remember when the Verizon variant of the HTC One 2013 came out, you could unlock the bootloader via HTC Dev. This was only available for part of the first day though... Hopefully T-Mo will leave the bootloader unlockable! Otherwise I plan on getting the unlocked version from their website or a GPE edition if one comes out.

T Mobile haven't kept anything off of the unlock list yet. Hopefully they keep with that mentality. But I agree with you, I wouldn't get one either if they did. That's a big reason I left Verizon

not entirely true. the Sony Xperia Z1s has a locked bootloader that cannot be unlocked as far as i'm aware...

That's not an apples to apples comparison. I am referring to HTC Dev official unlock site. T Mobile has not requested any devices not be unlockable through it like Verizon and AT&T.

I doubt that the Sony locked bootloader is at the request of T Mobile... it's probably a Sony thing

you said "T Mobile haven't kept anything off of the unlock list yet" so my reply was for that. but yes, T-Mob hasn't requested any devices not be unlockable through HTC Dev.

You know for a fact that tmobile requested the Sony bootloader to be locked? I have never heard of T Mobile requesting any OEM to keep a bootloader locked down tight.

At any rate, as long as I can unlock the m8 thriugh HTC Dev we will be ok :D

i do not believe T-Mob requested that Sony lock the bootloader. there is no concrete evidence or clarification as to whether they did or did not request it, though.

i'm not sure how T-Mob treated the M7 but i would wager that it would be the same for M8.

Getting ready to retire my 2 1/2 year old Rezound for this. As of this morning, news (out of China) is that the duo camera is combined 16mp. The leaks have pretty much confirmed removable storage and a battery close to 3000 mAh. Only regret is rumored 2g ROM space. Hopefully that's 3g. Willing to give up my unlimited data on Big Red for this one. :good:

I will be getting one - or at least I am currently planning to. I have been on a Nexus device since the Nexus 4G on Sprint. Ready to upgrade from my current Nexus 4 on T-Mobile - first non-Nexus device to catch my eye. Wife has been using the original T-Mobile One for the past year and I am looking forward to the upgraded version.
