Best Buy: HTC M9 costs $649

Re: HTC M9 costs $649; Price leaked on Best Buy

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.

Exactly my point. Now, there was enough differentiation between the M7 and M8 to sell people on the M8. In particular a noticeably larger and sharper screen, plus the duo-camera setup. But the M8-lookalike M9 is going to be a problem when it comes to differentiation with the previous generation (which is bound to be discounted).

Anyway, the show is about to begin, let's see what they say!

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?

Oh, and by the way, the One M8 is going to get all the software features that the M9 is coming with. As per HTC.

Sure it will - but all they said was "later this year".

The HTC M9 giveaway sweepstakes mentions an ARV of $599. No mention of the internal storage size.

I would take that price as being the minimum - 32gb.

Price of HTC One M9 leaks on Best Buy's site

I wouldn't pay 500 for it. don't pay full price for this thing because it's gonna go on sale fast.

$599 for a 32 gb version is a pretty good deal in my opinion.

Re: HTC M9 costs $649; Price leaked on Best Buy

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.

You can't be serious. The M9 has 0% chance to outsell the GS6. I bet verizon sells more GS6's than the total amount of M9's sold on all carriers..

Re: HTC M9 costs $649; Price leaked on Best Buy

I disagree.... of course the GS6 will outsell the M9 but not on all carriers.... lol

If the camera pans out it's still not bad for it off contract. Anything more and meh......lol

Now if you're able to get a 32gb for 549 and a 64gb for 599 - that would be an entertainment value.

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

No it won't. Retailers will likely sell it for $100 less. $550. On the other hand on the used market they will be around $250. Good price.

Re: HTC M9 costs $649; Price leaked 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.

They sell the iPhone $50 above Apple.
