              Nokia lumia 920 was delivered with NFC, and that phone is almost 2 years old.
              Miracast is coming with the 8.1 update, Wifi Tethering existed even on windows Phone 7 .. and what other stuff? Nothing you said was correct?

              SO YES WP CAN HANDLE M8 HARDWARE. Please check your "facts" first.

                Am owning windows phone lumia 920 and feel great about it.The OS is buttery smooth for almost One and Half year,Hardware stands the time,using it roughly without any protective case(so that others will see its color).Droped it few times,but didn't cracked.Also,I think App store has enough "useful" apps unlike useles malwares which android calls it as apps.For me,anyone who thinks or writes Windows OS is worst,my kind advise,try to use a windows phone few weeks,you will definitly appriciate this OS.For android fan boys,I think no one can help you.

                    Given the exact same Hardware, HTC could be smart(sales wise) if they would let people change between the 2 operation system using a simple tool. (by installing different rom image)

                    But of course, they're not going to do that

                          Laughable. Try HOLDING the HTC One M8. It just feels so much better. Nokia are betting on a losing horse, that is Windows 8. Great technology, but their design dept is living in the 90's.

In other words, they don't even give a hoot or respect for Windows Phone. They are just trying luck with Windows Phone again since it is now a more mature OS. But how much commitments are they giving? Do you think HTC will provide the better support for this WPM8 just like the old Nokia did? Fat hope!

And just because it is better than samsung galaxy s3, s4 and that's really the "ALMOST"?! FYI, iPhone takes better night stills than M8. M8 is not even with a OIS anymore. Face it man, 4MP is just plain sucks. Even an iPhone camera offers more photo details than M8 camera. And how often do you stay in the dark?? Frankly speaking, samsung galaxy s3, s4, s5, Note etc take BETTER day photos than the M8.
