Who will be more than irritated...

[NickA]

Who is going to be a little upset if HTC releases basically the M8 but with a 12MP camera? It was March when they released the M8, so I hope they offer some kind of trade in program.

I'm ok with the once a year upgrade, or releasing different variants of the same phone (mini, max), but to release the same exact phone with just a different camera is ridiculous.

I am however looking forward to the Nexus 9 tablet.

Even I'm really pissed for the same reason.
These guys just don't know how to market thier company. They released the M8,then desire 816,then 820 and now today another desire phone and a new version of the M8 ,all of this in one year.
Make one phone in a year but make it properly.

I think this is key. The Ultra Pixel failed with the M7, yet they brought it back for the M8. I don't get it.

It's a great phone and I like it, but doesn't occupy my pocket most of the time. Mainly because it's too tall and slippery for me,

My theory on buying any sort of technology is to decide, make your purchase, and never look back. There will always be something newer better and cheaper the following day. I'll just enjoy what I have now until it's no longer enjoyable.

Considering I just bought the phone a few days ago, yes.

Return it

Return it

I have until tomorrow evening to decide if I should return it. I am still debating it.

This phone isn't widely available and the camera could still be junk.

These are my thoughts as well. When you buy the newest, the next model is already mostly developed or could even be in preproduction. As consumers, the reality is we're buying into eventual obsolescence. The life cycle on flagship phones is getting shorter and shorter across all the manufacturers. Enjoy what you have until it's not enjoyable or doesn't meet your actual needs. Pursuing the latest and greatest is a "merry go round" ride that will never end.

Keep the M8. The Desire is not an M8 replacement and is a cheaper phone made of plastic with a smaller battery.

I have until tomorrow evening to decide if I should return it. I am still debating it.

Yeah I'm a bit annoyed. It seems they've finally learned their lesson about UltraPixel but I fail to understand why they didn't learn that after the m7.
