I am keeping the N5. It's a solid backup. The M8 shipped with a nano SIM... There was a card inside the box with a number and a code. I called from my work phone and punched in the code. N5 died and the M8 went live...

So how will you use the N5 since your micro sim is now dead? Did you get an adapter?
The obvious answer is WiFi. If I need to make calls on it, ( which why would I not use the M8?) I would have to call AT&T and re-activate the SIM in the N5, which only takes a phone call...
I suppose I could find an adapter and make it super easy, but I haven't needed to make calls from it yet so it's not an issue.

Gotcha. I tend to switch phones depending on mood or situation so I need the ability to swap the SIM in and out. So if I get an M8 I will have to go the adapter route.
oh, I agree. I'm afraid it won't come to the states, at least not for another few months. The z1 just barely came to T-Mobile. You in the states?
A camera which could give better day light performance(m8 doesn't) and at least average lowlight performance (N5 doesn't)
Few more things....
IMO Z2 looks like the device I would go for ,still waiting for some head to head comparisons of m8 Z2 and S5.
Also finger print scanner is least of my concerns![]()
Please explain. The One M8 has MicroSD card storage, has good build quality, excellent audio quality, great display, all in all a good phone.
What's not to like other than price? $599 full retail at VZW is not bad, I may get one for $575 then root it and its factory unlocked already.
You all haven't made it easy. Every time I think I know what phone to get, someone else throws out a valid argument for the other.
For me it's up to this, wireless charging, stock android, and fast updates vs. Front facing speakers, great design, and micro sd. Cost really doesn't matter as it's only $10 a month difference on JUMP with T-Mobile.
Simple.
I like to crop images I take and cropping a 4mp image is not the best idea ,even 4x zoom on a 20mp(Z2) image would result in a 5mp image .
Also I don't like the huge footprint of m8 .

The Nexus 5 and M8 are opposites in many ways, making this a difficult comparison. In our opinion, HTC has the better phone, offering exceptional hardware and software design, a great feature set and epic longevity. But for those wanting to save a few bucks, the sheer value offered by the Nexus is at least worth a look.
If you twisted our arm, though? We'd have to choose the metal body and all-day battery of the new HTC One.
