[T-Mobile HTC One (M8)] AnDruid:
I see some not so heartening details on Amazon/Play store. Updated my previous post. Will need a bit of research regarding the radio flashing as well as the LTE bands, but looks like T-Mobile and Amazon M8 may have trouble playing together.
[T-Mobile HTC One (M8)] ausch30:
I just looked at the one Amazon is selling and it seems to me to be a Sprint version, although I don't know that the radios listed are actually correct since the Engadget article said all versions will support GSM/EDGE (850/900/1800/1900) and there's no mention of those on the Amazon product page. There's no mention of GSM or HSPA/HSPA+ at all so based on their data it wouldn't work with AT&T or T-Mobile.

http://www.amazon.com/HTC-One-M8-Un...52509-3704704?ie=UTF8&n=2335752011&s=wireless

3G (800/1900 CDMA/EV-DO Rev. A frequencies)

LTE (1900 MHz)
[T-Mobile HTC One (M8)] AnDruid:
Not sure, but maybe the data over there is not accurate? Even the Amazon M8 page for ATT version shows the same information.

http://www.amazon.com/HTC-One-M8-Gunmetal-Grey/dp/B00IZ1VNZ2

This thread over on the M8 forum does not have much concrete info either:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2694630

The radio situation is indeed a veritable mess. I wonder if there are any real tech/cost challenges which limit the radio compatibility or is it just the carriers being evil. I assume a standard hardware chip across all devices will be easier and cheaper to put in, so it must be the evil carriers forcing HTC then.

I am somewhat banking on the fact that unlocked phones (the one on Amazon) are most likely to be GSM compatible. Must get in touch with Amazon customer care I suppose rather than ranting here.
[T-Mobile HTC One (M8)] Elythor:
The Anandtech review actually shows that the GPe version combines the best of AT&T and T-Mobile!

http://www.anandtech.com/show/7893/the-htc-one-m8-review

It should work for both carriers.

It is instead missing WCDMA 900 so not optimal if you want to use it in Asia/Europe.
[T-Mobile HTC One (M8)] ausch30:
I did see somewhere that the DE has AT&T radios and the GPE has T-Mobile but that really doesn't make a lot of sense. I trust Anand so I think they're probably the most accurate.
[T-Mobile HTC One (M8)] xda23:
So to understand if I bought a tmobile version it work on at&t and verizons networks as well? I thought Verizon just had cdma phones not Gsm like tmobile and at&t
[T-Mobile HTC One (M8)] Elythor:
No, T-mobile version will work for AT&T but not for Verizon.
[T-Mobile HTC One (M8)] EtherealRemnant:
What a ridiculous mess! Carriers shouldn't dictate what bands the phone comes in and they should all just be released in ONE model for GSM and all carriers get it.

I understand needing special models for Sprint and Verizon but for GSM its getting ridiculous.
[T-Mobile HTC One (M8)] busab:
Even the tmobile version doesn't show the 1700 frequency. Isn't that a requirement to be fully compatible with tmobile??
[T-Mobile HTC One (M8)] AnDruid:
The Amazon AT&T page updated to show following specs for network:

http://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B00IZ1VNZ2

3G - WCDMA: Domestic 850/1900MHz with HSPA+ up to 21 Mbps; Roaming 2100 MHz -- 4G – LTE: 700/850/AWS/1900MHz; Roaming 1800/2600 MHz

Developer edition specs were also updated to show same specs.

http://smile.amazon.com/HTC-One-M8-Developer-Edition/dp/B00J3AYHOI/

The unlocked version (non developer shows Verizon like specs). Hope they are more accurate now.
[T-Mobile HTC One (M8)] kirdroid:
Exactly can't understand what the morons at HTC are doing.

Anandtech has clarified the radio stuff in the first page of their review.

http://anandtech.com/show/7893/the-htc-one-m8-review
[T-Mobile HTC One (M8)] Tidbits:
AWS = T-Mobile frequencies

AT&T, Unlock, and Dev versions will work on T-Mobile.

LTE = YES

HSPA+ = Depends if you area has LTE or HSPA converted from AWS to 1900

2G = YES

T-mobile version loses spectrum for LTE due to spectrum deals and HSPA+ spectrum support.

Qualcomm charges to license spectrum for their radio chips. Also it requires more hardware to support more frequencies. There has to be give and take, and would you pay $900 for the HTC One if it supported more frequencies?
[T-Mobile HTC One (M8)] kirdroid:
Really? Apple has all the bands in one model. $350 Nexus 5 has all the necessary bands. So it is bull that it costs more, they just screw up every time. By the way I use the unlocked model and enjoying the M8 but no excuse for not having a single gsm model.
[T-Mobile HTC One (M8)] Tidbits:
Sorry I firmly believe Google subsidizes a bit of the cost for their phones. They are using the console model to generate revenue.

Apple devices have a premium cost compared to majority of the items out there and doesn't include how much they make from iTunes.

The T-Mobile version is cheaper than the other GSM models.
[T-Mobile HTC One (M8)] kirdroid:
Ok I will give you one more example...Sony unlocked devices in Sony store cost same as HTC One and they have all the necessary radios to work perfectly on r T-Mobile and AT&T. It's not that hard you know if you want to do a single gsm model.

And no Google is not subsidizing $500 or something, may be little bit they take a hit on profits from selling hardware but in no way they are fools to subsidize huge dollars. Like T-Mobile was selling Nexus 5 for $500 or something? Which might be the actual price.
[T-Mobile HTC One (M8)] Tidbits:
Like I said earlier a subsidization is a subsidization. Google takes at least $50 hit per device more than likely. They'll make that back in the first month of you owning it. Also there are things not on the Nexus which they don't have to pay royalties and licensing.

Sony is a bad example you bring up to back yourself. Have you seen Sony prices without any sales? If they actually brought out the Z1 months ago they'd want over $700 while the Z1S with less spectrum and no headphones, and less metal going for $600.

Yes companies could make one model, but not everyone is willing to pay for it. Sadly we are the minority.
[T-Mobile HTC One (M8)] kirdroid:
Alright will make it simple.

HTC One M8 Google play edition - $700 (Has all necessary radios including AWS HSPA 1700 band)

HTC One M8 unlocked and Dev edition - $700 (Missing the AWS HSPA 1700 band)

Enough said.
[T-Mobile HTC One (M8)] Tidbits:
Who's to say Google doesn't kick anything back to HTC. Show me something either way showing Google does and doesn't and that "proof" doesn't prove a thing. Google could take a $50 hit for all we know.
[T-Mobile HTC One (M8)] kirdroid:
Wow you are in denial. Unlocked, Developer editions are basically AT&T sku.

From Anand tech review of M8.

"As far as I can tell only the AT&T and Google Play Edition SKUs support carrier aggregation. The two SKUs are quite similar from a cellular standpoint, with the AT&T model locking out UMTS band 4 to discourage movement to T-Mobile. "

http://anandtech.com/show/7893/the-htc-one-m8-review
[T-Mobile HTC One (M8)] Tidbits:
Anyway anandtech doesn't prove a thing sorry. It just shows hardware and no actual licensing deals or costs between carrier, Google, and HTC. I want to see the DEALS between companies not the hardware. It is already WIDELY known spectrum licensing on devices isn't all or nothing. Also ordering 1M units is different than ordering 5M units, or even 10M units.

As I said before they CAN do it, but MOST people aren't willing to pay for it. Your example the Z1 reflects this when not comparing sales. Are you willing to pay $100 for your M8?
[T-Mobile HTC One (M8)] kirdroid:
Yes I'm am... And you are not providing any facts other than arguing while I have provided so many. And you don't know more compared to anandtech otherwise we will not be here. What licensing? The radio is already there on the hardware. Can you show me some facts about these spectrum licensing thing you are talking about.
[T-Mobile HTC One (M8)] Tidbits:
I guess you didn't read everything I said go back. Back in 2009 there was a lot of talk about it. There's more involved than just the radio...

Anandtech does not take into account the amount ordered, and the price per unit within the deals. That greatly affects the product. This is KNOWN business and FACTS.

A $50 difference affects people perception on buying an item. GPE vs. Dev is a perfect example of them. People cried that the fact GPE was $50 more expensive than unlocked without knowing the Dev price was a $50 sale. Most people said they should buy the dev and unlocked over the GPE and put GPE on it. I see this on multiple forums including this one. Without knowing how much Google is paying per unit and if they do subsidize some of the cost to keep it under $700.

Now the AT&T and T-Mobile version are both $640 support less spectrum than the GPE version which chances are $20-30 of that discount is units order and removes headphones and case (which increases the cost per unit).

So now show me these deals
[T-Mobile HTC One (M8)] kirdroid:
Known business and facts? From where? Can you show me these known business and facts? :)

If I was making deals and able to show that, I would not be arguing with you.
[T-Mobile HTC One (M8)] Tidbits:
You win... The only way you are going to understand is if you start your own carrier, or start building your own device. You win, and I know absolutely nothing. Complain all you want about it will not happen because people are not willing to pay for it. It's that simple. Have fun.

[Sprint HTC One (M8)] exSD:
Apparently they posted the wrong price @ 249.99. It was suppose to have an attached promo code for $50 pricing it down to $199.99 but it was poorly communicated. Thus on the night of the 25th the new $199.99 upgrade price was posted.

So if you call into customer care, tell them your situation and let them know that you need to talk to the order status department and they will credit you $50 + associated tax ($58.xx total for me) to your Sprint account (no charge back).

hi there, I am a german composer, living in the netherlands and I have openings this and next month. I do excellent work, especially in orchestra scoring but also any other music style that you can imagine. my skillset:

+ music production of original tracks, background music, trailer music, film music

+ mixing/mastering

+ audio editing

+ sounddesign of sfx, soundlogos, soundpheres, adding foley to video

bonus skills:

+ I can create unique piano pieces, derived from a person's name, birthdate and birth city

+ experimentation and the love for randomness and chaos

+ I tend to use sounds that nobody else uses. although I can deliver you the "standard game trailer tune", I enjoy it more to go beyond these boundaries of overused orchestra and sfx libraries

+ experience in illustration and webdesign. in fact, I work together with motion designers, who can purchase 2 things at once: sound and graphic assets

+ a small and selective network of musicians, writers and animators here in amsterdam, I may even be able to help you out with additional forces in live-recording, animation, illustration, character design, vfx, compositing, storyboarding and storywriting.
