About the same as the M8 last year and fair. Looks like the leaks are correct based on the pic on Best Buy.

Bestbuy normally charges $100 bucks more off contract then carriers though.

So it'll be nice if it's price is $550 off contract if purchased from the carrier or from HTC themselves.

Really? A bill more than a carrier? Never heard such a thing. Wow

looks legit, if true good for htc. that's a much better price than what was rumored and will probably sell better than the s6. for me im still holding off until the summer and see what the oneplus2 is about. bought a moto e 2015 for the time being.

I think it's a very respectable price point. Anything beyond that is to much imo

Good find. Now the other post that said $850 can be put to rest.

I think that's awfully overpriced for the One, I'll buy the Cheaper One that looks like the Same One instead. </joeconsumer>

How do you figure it's overpriced? 649 full price is on par with the S5, and presumably the S6. The S5 had 16gb of storage and was $649 at release.

As soon as the M9 comes out the M8's price will drop significantly.

Yes, that's a given - but you said the $649 price was "awfully overpriced" for the M9. I was just asking how you thought it was overpriced.

Joe Consumer is going to think that the $650 M9 is grossly overpriced compared to the $400 (or whatever it gets dropped to) M8 that looks exactly the same. Hence the use of the </joeconsumer> tag.

no "joe consumer" will look at the $800+ rumored price point of the s6 and buy the m9.

But you still have the sub-par camera and a year old plus device. Or you wait a month (give or take) until after it releases and buy a mint M9 for 500 beans.

And I'm sure that battery in the one year old device is degrading a little.

And you always seem to point the finger at Samsung for an awful lot, one might think you have a complex. Samsung did it, so it must be OK, all Samsung's fault, etc, etc. It just doesn't work, really, I'm sorry to tell you, it just comes across as jealousy. Now, again, Joe Consumer is looking at two devices, one of them is a $650 One model, one is a $400 One model. They look nearly identical except for power button positioning and camera module. Same metal, same speaker grilles, same software, same screen. What will you say to convince our new best buddy Joe to buy the new one?

im not loyal to any brand tbh. i just gave up on sammy after the s4. basically your buying the same device year after year. just like with apple at an outragous price. to top it off samsungs seem to lag the most out of any device ive seen or owned. im not getting the s6 or m9 but if the htc is priced lower that's what people will gravitate towards.

Aren't we lucky that it's $649 and not €649 or more that our European friends are probably going to get socked with..?
