I received "item is backordered" email this morning for a dev edition. I also received the email from the VP yesterday saying it would ship 3/30. So, I called. The sales rep said all colors/models are on backorder/not ready to ship and there was no ETA to give me. I was going to give the M9 a try before I get my S6 edge...but looks like the M9 might not even get a chance.
[One (M9) General] WorldIRC:
I'll say it again -- the people on the phone at Digital River are functionally clueless and simply see your order is on backorder. They have no real insight or access to information of value. I'd trust the VP's email more than that of a call-centre rep w/ no information.

......really tried to love it.....the camera quality really is a deal breaker...
[One (M9) General] bia9977:
That bad?
[One (M9) General] biswasd:
low light very bad

HI There --- I've been a member on XDA for god knows how long and have been a fan of HTC since old PDA days:)

But it is now clear to me that the company has some very serious systemic issues in their senior leadership where they have no "go to market" strategy or "brand equity" behind the ONE series of phones.

What do they (HTC) stand for in today's marketplace amidst a sea of competitive products?

I was soooo looking forward to having a SLCD screen, boomsound, and AN AWESOME CAMERA.....that's all i and (probably many others) wanted out of the M9. I consider display (visual), speakers (auditory), and camera (day to day functionality / feature) to be three of the most important features in a phone.

I don't have time to switch to manual to take a shot of my son at a basketball game.....

sorry for the rant....

1) Upon first glance in daylight, the camera appears to be very good.....until you zoom in.....artifacts galore.

2) Low light shots ------ ( 2.5 out of a scale of 10) would be my grade. Even with HDR / Flash....

Not acceptable at this price point.

YMMV
[One (M9) General] bia9977:
I'm 100% with you. Put thermal problems on the top and as much as I love HTC I'm gonna pass. M8 is still a beast with proper rom. Let's see what next year will bring.
[One (M9) General] biswasd:

[One (M9) General] haZethew0rld:

[One (M9) General] bitwiser:
I agree. I have a Moto X 2nd gen and was looking to replace it with the M9 or S6 Edge...received the M9 today and have to say the camera is only slightly better than the Moto X...very disappointing. I think the selfie (ultra pixel) camera is better indoors without flash than the main camera. :(

I really like HTC, but I think they really missed on this one. Looks like the S6 edge is in my future.

I am also not sure if I like the sharp edges. The M8 (which I owned as well) was so much smoother. However, I do like that the M9 curve is not quite so drastic. When you set it down on a table it is more stable and it somewhat feels better in hand.
[One (M9) General] biswasd:
was going to say the same thing - actually moto x camera (which is not all that great) is actually more consistent in framing and exposure than the M9

---------- Post added at 11:59 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:58 PM ----------

i'd reconsider buying the M9 in the future if the camera issues are COMLETELY resolved......i can even tolerate the cpu throttling as there is not noticeable lag from a ux standpoint.
[One (M9) General] Nemeth27:
Hi everyone,

Quick question..doesn't the DE ROM version normally have a .1520. In it?
[One (M9) General] bitwiser:
after more comparisons...I think the Moto X is as good or better in some photos. Attached images are taken with same lighting and at the same angle, using the same focus point (all on auto settings for both, no flash with ok indoor lighting)...

I know this is no the right thread for photo comparisons...just really disappointed in the M9 :(

[One (M9) General] frankcck:
Anyone got their dev M9 with software number: 1.32.617.6?
[One (M9) General] jay_ntwr:
Yep, that's what mine showed up with yesterday, the 1.32.617.6 was installed on it and the OTA check said it was up to date. I flashed TWRP (the .5 instead of .6) on it and rooted and I'm all set. I had to get a nano sim today because the M7 card wouldn't fit in it. I like the sharp edges--threw me off a bit at first but I've found they make holding the phone a lot easier for callused hands used to metal and woodworking.

The two things I didn't like--the keyboard didn't have swype so I installed the Google Keyboard and that fixed that. There is also no longer the shortcut under apps/widgets/shortcuts for an individual mailbox but includes all mail. I'm going to have to look around and see if there is a way to fix that because on my M7 w/ 5.02, it's there still. That sort of sucks because I like seeing the icons w/ my personal emails and work emails separate. Other than that, fine piece of hardware for sure.

[One (M9) General] y2jdmbfan:

[One (M9) General] Behold_this:
This is correct. The two devices use the exact same software, the only difference between the two (besides CID) is that the developer edition comes with an unlocked bootloader & network unlock, while the "unlocked" version comes NETWORK UNLOCK only. If you buy the "unlocked" version, then unlock the bootloader yourself, you essentially have a developer edition.

[One (M9) General] stevedebi:

Wait, so I am about to order in 2 days.

Thanks for responding! That's rather important since T-Mobile is upgrading the LTE and H+ networks. Yeah, I just did some more reading and the SIM unlocked and Dev Editions seem to have about every band covered. The Nexus 6 doesn't have band 32 but has a band 41 but I have no clue what that effects..

It's very easy to induce the HSPA+. When I make a call, I get "H" status then it reverts back to "LTE" after 5 seconds upon hanging up.
[One (M9) General] CWick4141:
Can confirm as I mentioned earlier.. The unlocked version does support T-Mobiles hspa
[One (M9) General] stevedebi:
That is good news, they didn't do that with the M7 and M8. I never understood that decision.

Are we certain that isn't what we would call "3G" rather than HSPA+? They can post whatever they want for a letter in the title bar. I'm not sure how AT&T shows 3G...

However, the phones are easy to unlock from HTC, and I would still go with the T-Mobile version if I had the option - the costs are similar.

---------- Post added at 04:01 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:59 PM ----------

The base firmware is AT&T, but they would not brand it that way because AT&T would object.

---------- Post added at 04:10 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:01 PM ----------

OK, I just spent a few minutes looking into this stuff. There is a difference for T-Mobile between 4G HSPA and HSPA+. If the Dev advertises Band 4 UMTS then it is the same as the T-Mobile M9, if it is advertising Band 2 UMTS, then it is limited to 14K rather than the 42K of HSPA+. Both operate on 1700/2100, but they work differently. All of this has nothing to do with LTE, of course, and the Dev will work on TMO networks - it is the speed that is in question.

"T-Mobile 4G (HSPA+)

With 4G, theoretical maximum download speeds range from 21 Mbps up to 42 Mbps. Once you're registered on our 4G network, you can take advantage of incredibly fast download speeds, and even use voice and data services at the same time. To use 4G, you'll need a phone that supports the frequencies we use.

Frequencies: Band 2 (1900 MHz), Band 4 (1700/2100 MHz)

T-Mobile 3G (HSPA)

With 3G, theoretical maximum download of 14 Mbps. With 3G, you can use voice and data services simultaneously. To use 3G, you'll need a phone that supports the frequencies we use.**

Frequencies: Band 4 (1700/2100 MHz)"

https://support.t-mobile.com/docs/DOC-4988

---------- Post added at 04:13 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:10 PM ----------

If this is correct, then the Dev edition may be doing UMTS HSPA at 14K, not HSPA+ at 42K.

Maybe! It is really confusing the way T-Mobile uses the Band 4 differently than other carriers.

On past Dev models, no one had any luck making the hardware do HSPA+.
[One (M9) General] CWick4141:
You might be right... I get 3g..LTE..and H but not h+ like I did on the tmo nexus 4... When it's on H it's still pretty slow so it might not be running at H+ speed... Not sure why I even got the Dev edition lol... Sending it back for the tmo variant
[One (M9) General] jauhien:
Stock HTC ROM does not display H+ particularly - but the same icon H even running on HSPA+ protocol..

H+ icon is actually just a matter of the graphics used in ROM.. :D
[One (M9) General] epsix:
So dev edition does support tmous new 700 band 12. ;D
[One (M9) General] stevedebi:
Unfortunately it is not the band, it is how it is used. T-Mobile uses 1900/2100 in two ways. One way maxes out at 14K. This is what TMO calls HSPA

The other way uses one frequency for transmit and one for receive, and that one can go up to 42K. This is what TMO calls HSPA+

You can't really tell from the "H" modifier which is being used - that symbol is set by the ROM and does not indicate the speed. You would have to check the download speeds to determine if the dev gets HSPA+.

But HTC has been notorious in the past for NOT allowing the TMO HSPA+ in the developer and unlocked editions of the M7 and M8. I'm not sure that anyone ever figured out if it was hardware or just that they refused to allow the firmware to work, or what. It started with the Amaze, IIRC, when they began doing this. Some have speculated that it would be more expensive to license the HSPA+, so they don't do it.

The base hardware of the Dev and unlock is AT&T.

Since HTC phones are easy to unlock, and there is no 64 Gb Dev edition, here is my adivce: If you plan to use the phone on T-Mobile, just order the TMO version.

Thank you for a really good review.

These headphones are really really good, bought them during a 1 hour sale for around 360 bucks, money that I dont reaaaaally had for the moment but it turned out to be worth it :).

1 question. In one of your pictures you have connected the phones to your computer via usb and it shows up as an input/output device, do you need to do something with the headphones to do that or?

You need to have the power on (so that internal usb dac is powered) and just connect it. If I remember correctly, it was recognized by Win7 as is.

Insanely good review! This is how all reviews should be! :)

I can add to your excellent review that trying to connect the Momentum 2 AEBT to the Sennheiser Smart Control app is a friggin' mega-pain.. (if even possible). I can connect them to my phone without any problems at all, but it's impossible to get the sennheiser app to find any device AT ALL.. tried everything and the app just won't find my headphones. I have followed every guide, checked compatibility with my phone and still no success. I have seen that some people even reinstalled the app 10 times before they got it working..
