chirag1988 Posted March 25, 2014 Share Posted March 25, 2014 Anyone else following the release of this phone? I've done blackberry, I've done iphone and I was looking forward to the Samsung S5 but it's been a disappointing release - so now I'm hedging my bets on the new HTC One M8 which is being announced as we speak!

StevoD Posted March 25, 2014 Share Posted March 25, 2014 im watching it now am i wrong but it looks 99% the same in design Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chirag1988 Posted March 25, 2014 Author Share Posted March 25, 2014 Yes the design is similar but the internals have been improved. Having never owned a HTC and bored of the iPhone I'm really looking forward to getting my hands on this phone Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StevoD Posted March 25, 2014 Share Posted March 25, 2014 (edited) see im about 5 months overdue an upgrade as there nothing i want (currently got a sony xeperia t ) i had the HTC Desire HD which spent more time with HTC than it did me during my contract, so this was potential upgrade but surprise surprise same as every other mobile phone company in this decade the new model is the old model but with something better faster newer or bigger, i miss the last decade when every phone manufacturer did there own thing and new models had fresh designs and new features all sonys looks the same all samsungs looks the same all nokia etc etc are they all paying porsche to design them if it had looked like some of the fan concepts then it might be a bit more interesting Edited March 25, 2014 by StevoD 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chirag1988 Posted March 27, 2014 Author Share Posted March 27, 2014 Mine arrived today, using as we speak! Nice refreshing change from having owned an iPhone the last two and a bit years Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chesterfield Posted March 28, 2014 Share Posted March 28, 2014 I'm considering the S5 or the Sony. S5 has faster processor, slightly larger screen, 4k video, higher res camera, but I'm uncertain about the OS. Currently have a S4, and never used the HTC or Sony systems.

tomdotc Posted March 28, 2014 Share Posted March 28, 2014 Think I'm going for the Z2. Had HTC and Samsung phones before so makes a change to go to Sony Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
