HTC One (M8) is gone

[sb1776]

Went from Galaxy S4 to HTC One and couldn't be happier. I don't love the bezel, but the height is no problem.

Re: HTC One M8 is gone.

The S5 is 1/8-inch shorter than the M8. 1/8-inch.

this. people are crowing about how much smaller the s5 is over the m8. it's marginal at best and the s5 is actually wider than the m8 too. which imo will make it more unweidly because your grip around it becomes elongated which lessens your ability to reach the corners of the screen.

i was worried the m8 was going to be too tall as well from reading and comparing the dimensions to previous phones, but upon picking it up (for me at least) it feels very natural and comfortable.

the weight difference is marginal at best too (iirc like 20g) b/t the s5 and m8.

the only thing i like about the s5 is the water / dust resistance. would have been nice if it had built in wireless charging so one would almost never have to open and close the stupid flaps though

i think they confused the s5 with the 5s, so many letters and numbers all over the phone world!

Sure, I understand that. But when comparing it to the other devices like the S5, Nexus 5, etc. They all have 5 inch + screens. So, does it make it that much different in handling it? Or is it that these prospective buyers don't like it compared to last year's model?

The Nexus 5 has a more sleeker design making it more nicer in hand. Its not only the screen. These phones while having the same screen size, vary in design, width and height which changes the way you can handle them.

Yeah, that's why I'm trying to include the word "Galaxy" when referring to the Galaxy S5 and the word "iPhone" when referring to the iPhone 5S. I've seen this kind of mistake happen on more than one forum.

I think the M8 feels great and I think they hit the spot with size.

Re: HTC One M8 is gone.

I didn't nor would I ever want to adjust to be able to use a device comfortably. The m8 felt great since the moment I picked it up

Really? Change is good. I moved from a 4s to the One a year ago and had to make an adjustment. I'm glad I did.

Had it for two days and then sold it. Nice device, very high quality. Not the build quality of my 5S but it's close. Either way, build quality wasn't first on my list. Battery and Camera are pretty much one and two. The M8 gave me over 6 hours of screen time for each day that I had it. Not bad. The M8 camera wasn't as good as the 5S but on the other hand it was decent enough to get by for me. So what was the real killer for me? The length......the M8 is just ridiculously long. Felt funny and looked funny. I seriously couldn't get over the length. Felt like I was holding a metal banana. Anyway, I am officially standing in the S5 line. Had an S4 last year for a bit but the lag was terrible so I dumped it. Got to play with the S5 at BB the other day and kind of fell in love with how it felt in my hand so.......lets do this samsung. Please get it right this time for me.

My note 3 is longer than the M8

I was in CrackBerry and WPCentral forums before, so you are right.

Re: HTC One M8 is gone.

I have to disagree, I really like iOS7.1 ..very light, feels simple, yet does everything I want it to.

seriously??? Wow.
IOS7 crippled my iPhone 5 and my iPad 4th generation and reduced both to a congealed mess.
I couldn't receive emails, much less send them, accessing any website took longer than a 2 year old takes to tie his shoes and when it finally loaded it froze, and then there was that pesky issue with losing all my school notes...
The apple tech told me that IOS7 was fabulous... With the new iPhone 5s and the new iPad air, that is, lol.
So I said I'd upgrade... to Samsung. Never looked back.

It works great on my second gen iPad. No issues at all.

Yes indeed. I have iOS 7.1 on 4 devices and it works fabulously on all of them. I'm sorry your experience hasn't been as a great as mine. No big surprise, just like android iOS works great for some and like poopoo for others.

I certainly didn't have that experience with iOS 7. And iOS 7.1 is faster, smoother, and more stable.

IOS 7.1 has been perfect on my 5S and mini retina.

Re: HTC One M8 is gone.

I'm going from a 5s to the M8 and the size is the one thing that I'm worried about. It is pretty tall. Does it still fit comfortably in a front pocket?

If you're concerned about the size why move to the M8? Also, no need to worry, if the phone doesn't meet or exceed your desires simply return it.

It does for me as well. It's not too bulky and thick so I believe that helps some.

yeah there is that. My hands are on the small side. My moto x sure felt great. My 5s is too small. I need a good camera though so the moto x didn't cut it. Too bad, the m8 is a nice phone. Very nice but just a little too long for me.

Try the z1 compact. Awesome device.
