HTC One M9 goes on pre-order in Germany with HTC Advantage

Just a couple of days after going official, the HTC One M9 is now available for pre-order by the official HTC store in Germany.

Currently, you can pre-order the Gold-on-Gold version now, while the Gunmetal Gray and the Gold-on-Silver color options will be available starting on March 31.

The HTC One M9 retail for €750 and come with the HTC Advantage initiative, which was previously available just in the US. In Germany the program gives you free overnight shipping for each order made before 14:00h, help for transferring your data from your old smartphone via a premium hotline and a free pickup and delivery return in case of repairs. Unlike the US, HTC doesn't offer free display repair in Europe.

The One M9 is powered by the latest Qualcomm Snapdragon 810 platform - an octa-core 64-bit processor with four Cortex-A57 cores at 2.0GHz and four Cortex-A53 working at 1.5GHz. The new Adreno 430 is responsible for the graphics, while the 3GB RAM will help with the multi-tasking. The phone packs a 5" 1080p display - the same unit from One (M8) - Super LCD3 - with minor improvements on the technology and color rendering. The highlight of the front are the traditional BoomSound stereo speakers, now improved further by Dolby Sound technology.

The phone is also available in MediaMarkt, Saturn and other retailers across Germany, however the Gold on Gold version currently seems to be available only via HTC's own webstore (which surprisingly seems to be run by online retailer Expansys).

In the UK, pre-orders of the phone start on March 9 with EE, Carphone Warehouse, O2 and Three offering the phone.
