[One (M8) General] jmcamz2899:
I got one. 32gb dark grey. Loving it so far.
[One (M8) General] Frankie1588:
Yeah, that is what I think I will do. If anything I would like to avoid the tax and get it for about $600 even so even that would be fine.
[One (M8) General] Root-Maniac:
UPDATE!! My device has shipped from AT&T already, the estimated day for for it to go out for shipping was the 28th, i can confirm it is now on a plane headed to my state. VIA UPS tracking.. YIPPPEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
[One (M8) General] bmoreboy02:
Something else you can try that has worked for me is post an ad on craigslist saying "let me buy your upgrade". Ive did that for sprint plenty of times. I just simply post an add saying ill buy your upgrade for $200. Just meet me at a sprint store and ill give you the money for the phone plus an additional $200 once its activated on my acct. Youd be surprised how many people jump on it
[One (M8) General] Scott:
Oh dude! I got it, you got it... I cant wait to see who gets this phone...

Assuming unlock soon... This is going to be AWESOME! Hell, even locked its nice as can be!

But the phone does kick ass :p
[One (M8) General] Frankie1588:
That's a fantastic idea haha! I will do that! Thaks man!:good:
[One (M8) General] bmoreboy02:
No problem. I actually made out big time back in december when bestbuy had the note 3 for $149.99 for 1 day only. Some girl met me there and we did the deal. I sold my lg g2 for $400 and paid about $370 for the note 3
[One (M8) General] bobbarker2:
Just got this on Verizon.. and HOLY **** BLOAT. Switch to ART just for kicks, it had to optimize 230 apps!

Can't wait til this is unlcoked or atleast rooted so I can get rid of all this crap.
[One (M8) General] razortaz18:
What size is Verizon selling 16 or 32gb?
[One (M8) General] shawnten:
It's in the speaker mesh up top I saw it today at Verizon store
[One (M8) General] Frankie1588:
All U.S. variants are 32GB.

Thanks!
[One (M8) General] hamad138:
Wtf it has ART ;)
[One (M8) General] h8rift:
I have one on the way :-X.
[One (M8) General] who MIKE D:
Guess who else got one!?!

THIS GUY! :)
[One (M8) General] Root-Maniac:
Glad to see the big boys are around!! This is gonna be awesome!!!!!!

:good::good::good::good:
[One (M8) General] gramsey1911:
got lucky

I walked into a vzw store at 125pm today and bought the last "one"
[One (M8) General] tnicko:
In this review here from Android Central, at 1:44 you can see the colored LED blinking pink. But it's NOT in the speaker grill. It's in the sensor just to the left of the front camera.

[One (M8) General] riz157:
Htc did well to ship to so many countries and available on day of launch. Kudos ordered mine from O2 uk can't wait.

I hope notification light is more prominent then Htc one.
[One (M8) General] who MIKE D:
Thats actually just a sensor
[One (M8) General] tnicko:
A sensor that blinks pink? :confused:
[One (M8) General] who MIKE D:
its the proximity sensor... the camera just picks up the light from it and makes it look very bright and pink
[One (M8) General] tnicko:
Ah. Well I feel like an idiot, lol. Thanks guy!
[One (M8) General] Scott:
Daaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaamn!

Looks like it turned into a part up in here!

It is much more prominent! I was very relieved to see it. Normally when my One or One Max sits flat you cannot see the light. This is much batter to be seen sitting flat.
[One (M8) General] Frankie1588:
Is it an RGB light or just the standard green/orange? Thanks!
[One (M8) General] riz157:
Lovely and is it Rgb like samsung different colours or just green and red?
[One (M8) General] Scott:
As far as I can tell its just green
[One (M8) General] riz157:
Try light flow app to see if it can be changed. Thanks
[One (M8) General] Raech:
Holy cow. So I ordered on Sprint.com today by 1:06 pm Eastern. Because their warehouse and UPS is here in my town of Louisville, KY... I got notification my phone arrives tomorrow. (Faint)
[One (M8) General] blestsol:
mad familiar faces in here already. Grabbing mine Friday.

I'll admit..I am disappointed with the camera though.
[One (M8) General] tacotester1:
I debated for weeks whether i should shell out the cash for this and.

Got one !

Verizon

and metal finish!

very excited!

now that i finished worrying about that purchase

which case should i buy...

i was thinking of this one since i already spent so much money.

and i heard these are pretty good in general

this ones called atmospheric i think

it was clear so i thought would be pretty cool to still see back

i guess well see

http://www.poeticcases.com/atmosphere-3

any other suggestions? not so into the price of the dot one
[One (M8) General] Frankie1588:
Also going to grab one later in the week off contract if I don't see any on eBay/Craigslist.

Yeah, I was honestly fine with the M7 camera (after I got it fixed for the pink tint issue). As long as its as good as the M7 camera I won't be too bummed.
[One (M8) General] Scott:
No.

Those look nice. I got the Generic VZW one because it was cheap and I was in a hurry. Whole purcahse from walking in the store to walking out was 10 minutes. I just grabbed the cheapest case. I will go back tomorrow and look at the incipio and I will also be hitting up ebay tonight.
[One (M8) General] tacotester1:
nice! this poetic one was pretty affordable compared to the instores and other ones by them similar had pretty good reviews ill give u guys an update on how it goes!
[One (M8) General] flar2:
If anyone has one that is NOT Sprint or Verizon, can you upload an image of the boot partition for me?

EDIT:

I'll take the Sprint or Verizon boot.img as well
[One (M8) General] phsteve:
Jealous! I'm in NYC, ordered at about 1:15. My tracking number is still blank on the order info page! Any other people on Sprint get tracking numbers yet?
[One (M8) General] blestsol:
those cases are beautiful man lol. But I went to the verizon store to test the phone out and ...i tried zooming in. I pray I never NEED to zoom in after I get this.
[One (M8) General] rotchcrocket04:
Definitely agreed - love seeing some of the prominent members of this community jumping on board with this device. Cant wait to see what the dev teams do with this!
[One (M8) General] blestsol:
i wonder if well get an immersive mode to combat the onscreen keys and give us that screen estate back.
[One (M8) General] ratchetjaw:
Mine shipped be here tomorrow. Wasn't going to get it because of the camera but pulled the trigger anyway
[One (M8) General] Scott:
Wait! Did someone say there is a Dev Edition? Because if so, beings that I paid full price I will get the dev edition.

EDIT: Nevermind, its not fro VZW. I will wait on bootloader unlock.
[One (M8) General] rotchcrocket04:
Well, I know that 4.4 (API Level 19) introduced this for app devs - so theoretically I wouldn't see why not?! I haven't spent enough time looking at ROMs and tweaks for the Nexus 5 so I don't know what the devs are able to pull off (such as throughout the UI) but it will be awesome to see what will come of this.

I'm no dev, but this was interesting to read through to get an idea of how these functions work: Using Immersive Full-Screen Mode
[One (M8) General] mentallo:
Got mine today at Verizon. I'm coming from a Rezound. Awesome so far.really smooth.
[One (M8) General] itsxiao:
Omg so jealous right now.. Why Tmobile WHY?!
[One (M8) General] CB620:
Gets T-Mobile lte.

Verizon HTC One M8 on T-Mobile SIM it is Factory …: http://youtu.be/oJwqFersSoo
[One (M8) General] surge27:
Dev edition on its way...:thumbs up:
[One (M8) General] Dark Jedi:
Its sad that its the same camera that's in the m7. At least it has a SD slot in it. Will just stay with my m7
[One (M8) General] daorderdillon:
Different sensors
[One (M8) General] Hardcore73:
Mine will be here tomorrow. Ordered from att today as soon as it was live.
[One (M8) General] CB620:
Is that right
[One (M8) General] graffixnyc:
I got an AT&T version getting delivered tomorrow an an order in for a dev edition :)
[One (M8) General] BFirebird101:
Came from a DNA as well. This phone kicks ass.
[One (M8) General] blackroseMD1:
Glad to see you decided to grab one. Hopefully the AT&T model works with HTCDev.
[One (M8) General] graffixnyc:
I probably won't keep the AT&T version long. I ordered my dev edition through HTC and they said it would ship on April 3rd and gave me free overnight. It originally said it would ship today but when I call they said the 3rd. So my plan is to use the AT&T version until the dev edition comes then sell the AT&T one on swappa.. Lol
[One (M8) General] blackroseMD1:
Ha! Well, I'm stuck with the AT&T version, so I'm still hoping for easy unlock.
[One (M8) General] P1 Wookie:
Ordered mine about 1:30 through AT&T after debating with myself if I wanted to use my upgrade or not. Currently have a G2. I'm hoping the speakers and build quality will sell me on this phone. Camera I could care less about. I almost never use it.

Mine will be here tomorrow...err...today!
[One (M8) General] Mr.Mischief:
Just purchased a developer edition from Amazon. First decent smartphone in a while to have the headphone jack on the bottom.
[One (M8) General] P1 Wookie:
Of course, the downside about ordering through AT&T is I will probably get it in a generic box with none of the extras.:mad:
[One (M8) General] jakesteed:
*sigh* I expected this but was holding out hope there would be an IBTL window to git 'er dun. Oh well, ordered mine (Verizon, gunmetal gray) and should have it by Thursday.

Curious about one thing though--the official specs list 16GB and 32GB capacities but the $199 at Verizon comes standard with 32GB. Is the 16GB only for international variants?

Also, I've now seen 2 reviews (Engadget and I think BGR) that reference the phone as shipping with 2GB of DDR2 RAM. WTF? 2014 and not all phones have switched to DDR3? I'm hoping it's just a misprint that they're quoting since I can't imagine why anyone would pair a Snapdragon 801 with DDR2. I may just be nitpicking, but can anyone with device-in-hand confirm via CPUz?
[One (M8) General] Frankie1588:
Anyone else having (or had) trouble deciding on a color? I had the silver M7 and I cannot decide on the silver or the gray M8. I love that brushed finished look on the back of the gray. I also love the contrast the silver offers with the black screen area.

I wonder if I would be able to tell immediately which color I would prefer if I saw them in person.
[One (M8) General] jlevy73:
Sadly it's true. Some benchmarks that have been run have confirmed this. That's why Basemark is higher for Z2 than One because the Z2 is using DDR3 vs DDR2 for the One.
[One (M8) General] anaskr:
I say buy the Gray one... you already had the silver one and the gold looks ugly.
[One (M8) General] Frankie1588:
Yeah, there's no way I would get the gold. Hideous.
[One (M8) General] jakesteed:
Wow. Samsung is laughing right now. Oh well, none of the reviews I've read complained of lag or battery life (quite the opposite in fact) so I'll stop being a spec whore and suck it up.

I'm coming from a DROID RAZR M (bootloader unlocked with fresh CM11 nightlies) so any phone upgrade would be welcome at this point. I was holding out for this phone vs. a Moto Maker X because I didn't want a phone that was already dated. I still might sell the M8 based on how the new Moto/Lenovo X2 turns out...
[One (M8) General] Scott:
Im not sure where you guys are getting your info in regards to DDR2 vs DDR3 on this phone... But I want to break it down for ya some...

1. If someone said this device is using DDR2... They dont understand technology or they typo'ed. It happens. I Typo a lot :( (Had to edit this post 5 times to make it readable, lol)

2. This phone has a chip called a "System On A Chip" aka SOC. The soc contains... CPU, GPU, DSP controller, Modem controller, Bluetooth contoller, WiFi controller, etc... And wait for it... MEMORY CONTROLLER.

3. The SnapDragon 800+ series uses DDR3; to be more precise it uses LPDDR3 (Low Power). Only the SnapDragon 615 and lower use DDR2

4. Its highly unlikely that HTC asked Qualcomm to downgrade the memory controller on this chip for this device to use DDR2. No logic there... Also no mention of such a thing on the sites that hold the technical info.

5. Here are the exact SOC specs... They all list DDR3...

Citation 1: Qualcomms website: http://www.qualcomm.com/snapdragon/processors/801

Citation 2: Wikipedia break down of 801... Please Note M8 is clearly listed as DDr3 on that page as well: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Snapdragon_(system_on_chip)#Snapdragon_801

Anyways... Just wanted to break it down... Specs and what other people post on there blogs are one thing... What the MFG says is another. Who do you trust?
[One (M8) General] jlevy73:
Thanks Scott, I read a couple of reviews stating the RAM was DDR2 but I understand that reviewers from places like Engadget can mix things up. What would be interesting to know, is if the new One bumps the eMMC from 4.5 to 5.0. Do you know which version of S801 the One has? According to anandtech there are three version.

Edit: Nevermind, according to the link you posted looks like it has the AB version which puts it at 5.0. The Asian variant of the One will get the AC based on CPU clock speed of 2.5ghz.

http://www.anandtech.com/show/7846/...-snapdragon-800-and-801-clearing-up-confusion
[One (M8) General] noideaforusername:
Just because the SOC have support for DDR3 up to 933mhz doesn't mean you have to use DDR3. You can still use DDR2 with no problems whatsoever.

Qualcomm aren't the one supplying the RAM, so HTC can be easily use DDR2, and seems (at least according to some reviews and benchmarks) they really use DDR2.
[One (M8) General] jlevy73:
Good point as well, and the results show this could be in fact the case if you look at the Browsermark benches from here http://www.gsmarena.com/xperia_z2_takes_basemark_os_ii_performance_crown_from_one_m8-news-8127.php
[One (M8) General] Scott:
Im not trying to argue with you ... But please entertain this thought just for moment...

Qualcomm, the people that make the SOC says it only supports DDR3. You cant force DDR2 into a DDR3 bus. The bus is different.

I dont want to get into an argument... But if Qualcomm says its an LPDDR3 controller... You generally, withouth some very bass-ackwards engineering going to get DDR2 in the device.

Anyways... Im done. I dont want to argue...

That specific article said it had faster memory performance... And that may be so. There are things called memory latency that come into play. Not all DDR3 is created equal. Not to mention the phone being compared to is 1.5 times as much memory.
[One (M8) General] noideaforusername:
I don't want to argue either since it really is doesn't matter but the controller of DDR3 has backward support so you can use DDR2.

It like you will say you can't use DDR2 in a computer with a mother board with DDR3 capabilities.

Anyway, it really is doesn't matter so let's stop here :)
[One (M8) General] Scott:
Yeah, lets stop here with the DDR2 in a DDR3 slot... Because you cant. They are physically different. But yes, lets stop.

But I do want to show you one more thing....

That benchmark for the Z2 vs the One M8 is not accurate on the site quoted....

I used the exact same program to benchmark my phone (purely stock).

And I am 30'ish points from Sony.

See with your own eyes...

Benchmarks are not always accurate or trust worth... I have a 5% increase in performance over that website :angel:
[One (M8) General] noideaforusername:
I really don't know what to say to you but I remember that in 2008-9 I replaced my old computer's motherboard (it stopped working) with one with DDR3, but I was still able to use the DDR2 from my old computer.

I don't know how much will it matter but I see the S600 also listed as a LPDDR3 type of memory but HTC used LPDDR2 in the HTC one m7 without any problems. So I don't see why they'll have problems use LPDDR2 again.

About your results in comparison to GSMArena's results: In their result they only listed the overall score and didn't listed all the different factors as listed in your screenshot, so we'll need to see a comparison between the memory results.

Anyway, as I said before, software (as you see in your device) can do the trick and close the gap, so it doesn't really matter LPDDR3 or LPDDR2.
[One (M8) General] mmmboba:
i doubt you were able to use a ddr2 in a ddr3 slot. just look at an old motherboard with ddr2 and a new one with ddr3...the "key" is in a different position.

maybe you are thinking about PCI-E 3.0 and PCI-E 2.0

PCI-E 3.0 slots are backwards compatible with PCI-E 2.0 cards
[One (M8) General] noideaforusername:
You are right, it seems like my motherboard just have two kinds of slots (2 for DDR2 and 2 for DDR3) :)
[One (M8) General] Scott:
I was going to say that may have been the case.

Maybe I am wrong... But it would not make "Sense" (pun intended :angel:)
[One (M8) General] rotchcrocket04:
Guys, if you were still wondering on the location, here is an image I captured from this video: HTC One M8 Impressions!

Looks like it's 7th hole from the right, 2nd row down.
[One (M8) General] bobbarker2:
Thank you for clearing this up for confused people. I was cringing pretty hard at the DDR2 comments.

I got the 32GB for $199. I didn't see the 16GB there.

--

It took me a while to find the LED too... which is bad. It's SO hard to notice notifications and if the USB is plugged in then it won't notify at all. I really want to know who at HTC thought this LED light was a good idea.

THere's some other quirks with the phone that I don't like but they can be fixed by a custom firmware. However the recent leak that the Xperia Z2 is probably coming soon to Verizon as an exclusive makes me want to return this phone and wait for that.
[One (M8) General] alhadee12:
The LED is in the top speaker grill.
[One (M8) General] alhadee12:
Got it, but still trying to decide on it. I have a the M7 and a iPhone 5S. Will make a decision in a few days, but so far I like it better than the M7.
[One (M8) General] Life Engineer:
Bro, I can see you have or had an LG G2.

I'm rocking it right now. I like its size, screen, speed, battery but I still can't like its camera.

I find it slow, and most of my photos in low to mid light looks blurry.

After all, for me at least, most of my photos are for me and my son and my family indoors.

After all, outdoors all cameras perform well.

Do you think it would be a bad idea to get this M8 instead of my G2? I'm sure however that I'll have to pay at least 300$ as a difference!

Although on paper many things look like a downgrade, I feel that I'm attracted to this phone for I dunno what reason!
[One (M8) General] alhadee12:
My daughter has my G2 and I've been using the iPhone 5S as my daily driver. This phone is growing on me because of the screen and size. I'm not sure yet why I like it over the G2, but I'll recommend you try it in the store along side your G2 and get a feel for it. I've always liked Sense better than other UI's.
[One (M8) General] Crooke356:
I have the G2 as well. I love the wireless charging and the tiny bezels..and that display. However, the overall look and feel of this M8 is stunning. I cant believe how smooth it is. I've never experienced anything as smooth as the M8. Blink Feed just glides on by. Amazing.
[One (M8) General] crawlgsx:
I have had both the original HTC One as well as the G2, and I just ordered an HTC One M8. The G2 is a great phone, but the build quality leaves a lot to be desired.(creaky back plastic, the plastic shows fingerprints like you wouldn't believe). It was my favorite phone (by far) of 2013 though. While the One was great, speed and battery was "just" ok, the G2 was lightning fast on AOSP and the battery life was just amazing. The battery life combined with overall functionality and speed made the G2 the winner in my eyes. I am hoping the build quality with the increased performance and hopefully better battery can make the 2014 a winner.
[One (M8) General] Life Engineer:
I can say man that this subject creates a big debate (in a good way ofc).

I mean I myself ask myself "what do I need in a phone?" (focus on NEED and not WANT).

I answer, battery, speed, functionality, biggest screen possible on slimmer size possible... I never thought about looks!

ALL of those are ONLY included in the G2.

On the other side, I feel attracted to the build quality and feeling of HTC ONE (both M7 and M8). Also it's a looker although "looks" have nothing to do with "actual use".

However, I adore HTC sense even when last sense I used was 4.0 on the sensation! It looks great and adds great functionality!

Now with sense 6 this has got a lot lot better (especially performance and smoothness!).

Also there's the sound which I never thought of in the past, but once you hear the gorgeous front facing speakers you really know what you were missing!

So I feel in big conflict, while I know LG G2 has better battery life, screen size, even functions; I also feel attracted to this M8 and can't overlook its camera in low light conditions, its looks and Sense!
[One (M8) General] fillyo:
I walked into Verizon to buy one and just couldn't pull the trigger. The camera performance just scares me and I can't get over the fact it is as tall as a Note 3. I don't want a phone that big. The M8 was sleek and fast and the lowlight picture I took was definitely better than my s4, but I know overall the S4 has a better camera. The LG G2 by far had the best form factor, same size as s4 with smaller bezels. I wanted to leave Samsung, especially the way the are locked down, but the S5 may be a better choice for me. The other thing that worried me for now was the fact that I am rooted, have tethering, and bloat uninstalled, I definitely need that option. I am sure they will have the M8 rooted shortly, Maybe I will revisit once the S5 comes out and compare the two again. I really wanted this phone but just couldn't do it.
[One (M8) General] rotchcrocket04:
My One for AT&T just showed up at work. Will be activating during lunch... sooo excited!! :D
[One (M8) General] djkinetic:
Damn I'm jealous of everyone gettin their One's...Ordered a bit late yesterday 4:45pm my order with ATT is still showing as in Progress.
[One (M8) General] shankly1985:
Can anyone tell me if Sense 6 or Kitkat will let you install apps to the sd card?
[One (M8) General] HTCOne2014:
I'm getting myself one but will need to wait here in China :(

---------- Post added at 04:07 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:49 PM ----------

Anyone tried to preorder this on play store for the GPe?
[One (M8) General] srleadjb:
There is a notification light.
[One (M8) General] nickarate:
Ditto
[One (M8) General] subhumanderelict:
You may want to correct that picture. As of right now, the front view is showing as:

Pink: M7

Blue: M8

Red: S5

Green: Note 3

The side view is showing as:

Pink: M7

Blue: S5

Red: M8

Green: Note 3

You can tell that red phone in the side view is the M8 because the phone has a bit of dark plastic at the top. The plastic is visible from the side because it wraps around slightly. In any case, the side view is more correct.
[One (M8) General] th3b3:
How do you order from bestbuy $749 and get them to price match to verizon's price of $599? I want the gold one and im not giving up unlimited internets...States they dont pricematch CONTRACT phones. Im not buying a contract phone. Has anyone had any luck in doing this with other phones?
[One (M8) General] NoFanboy:
Mann I'm TORN between silver and Grey.
[One (M8) General] Frankie1588:
Me too! Haha. Probably going to Verizon in a few to check them out. Maybe I will make up my mind when I see them in person.
[One (M8) General] NoFanboy:
I tried doing this but only made me more confused haha
[One (M8) General] Rippley05:
Gun metal grey IMO. Only because it stands out as being new..well plus it looks good
[One (M8) General] Frankie1588:
I was just thinking...Do they have both color on display?
[One (M8) General] NoFanboy:
My local store did. Call beforehand and make sure. If they don't have the silver m8 on display they should have the silver m7 at least
