Based in Suffolk UK - got software update 4.4.3 today (19/08/2014) on my unlocked HTC One M7 - now running software number 6.09.401.5. The M7 was bought at Dubai duty free last year.
I also have an unlocked HTC One M8 bought through Amazon but this has not been updated yet. Still running on 4.4.2.
From reports the M8 was supposed to be updated 1st with the M7 waiting till Android L software release. Seems the rumours in the UK got it wrong.
Hopefully the M8 will be updated soon. Anybody in the UK got the unlocked M8 4.4.3 update yet?
BTW I had the M7 off for the last couple of days as I use my M8 as my primary device. When I restart my phones, I always automatically go to Settings/About/Software updates and it 'found' the update.

          So, the device supported 4G but you disabled it until the customers have screamed? This is really disgusting!

                Anonymous, 18 Aug 2014Soon this phone will be updated to 8.1 hahahaActually, they will produce a new batch that is preloaded with MobileWin 8.1, it will not be an on-the-air update for the existent Android M8's

                However, there are rumours about all M8's having interchangeable OS support, meaning the user will be able to flash his/her M8 with either Android or MobileWin

                        I just updated and this phone is just amazing. I hate Samsung n iPhone after using One M8.
                        HTC has made a solid phone with amazing features and superb battery life and also a perfect size to fit the pocket.
                        The look and feel is just beautiful and has its own charm.

                                    I bought this phone in India. Would like to point out that 4G was working on my device from last 1 month..even before I updated it.

                                        So that's why and all by the sudden I got a 4G connection on my M8, as I am subscribed to a high-speed internet on my SIM-Card that I was using on an iPhone4 which doesn't support 4G

                                        After I bought my M8 (4.4.2) I started using that SIM-Card in it, I was only getting 3G connection, so I thought that my net-plan doesn't include 4G

                                        However, after I got the (4.4.3) update, I noticed that I got 4G connection without changing my net-plan, I live in Middle-East.
