thick bezels, 4up camera, blah blah blah... stop whining like kids!!! i have been using the m8 for a week now and neither the thick bezels not the camera has bothered me... this phone is just a beauty internally and externally and if you haven't used it just shut up before making any comments on it... sense UI is a million times better than cartoonish and cluttered touchwiz! if you dont own the phone then dont complain about its features!

    Hope HTC keep its promise to support software update for old devices for at least 3 years.

      I've been with HTC since the original Desire and still am. Good 70% of that has to do with Sense UI. Gorgeous, Fluid, Smart.

              I've been using Xperia my whole life. Im 29 years old. I just bought HTC for the first time, and i must say, im never going to buy Sony again...and that too..just because of sound quality (actually there are many things more). Surprised?

                I really wish them to reduce the top and bottom bezels and make that back less slippery.

                  Increase your sales by dropping the price of phones which inturn will result in more revenues.

                  Simple logic these guys can't understand ....i don know why these companies hires so called think tanks strategic guys with millions of dollars in salary when they can't even come up with a simple solution like this.

                      Lower your price and your going to boom. Even your midrange phone is too expensive.

If it had a 13mp camera then it should have thrashed Samsung, LG and Sony in sales. As it is, the ultrapixel camera is a gimmick aimed at the Instagram and Facebook addicts.

                            yeah i said it, 03 Oct 2014Watch out for what? Samsung doesn't only sells smartphones,... moreWatch out for lower profits!

                            Samsung profits have been below market expectation 2 quarters in a row, and this was BEFORE the iPhone 6 even launched. What do you think next quarterly result is going to be?

                            Watch out for lower sales!

                            Samsung trade-ins tripled leading up to iPhone 6 launch.
                            LG G3, Xiaomi, Huawei are also selling well and stealing Samsung sales.

                            Watch out for low share price!

                            Samsung share price is at a 2 year low currently. With the above spate of challenges, Samsung will need to work hard to not keep falling.

                            Watch out for fanboy delusion!

                            Samsung is selling so much of its own hype, it might actually start believing it lol. Alpha is an example, where they suddenly believe they can sell a mid-range phone at flagship prices.
