HTC One (M8)
Anyone going to get this? I'm tempted to switch from my nexus 5 to this.

dont see a reason to make a switch, doesn't seem like an upgrade at all

it looks nice though aside from that 'htc' border that needlessly elongates the phone

I think engadget said the camera was lackluster, huge disappointment. I held a dummy in my hand and it felt pretty good but if the camera is shit then i don't see a point in getting this at all

Samples don't look good, pictures still grainy.

Also it's so damn long. Last year's One was long enough.

Just played with it at work. Decent phone actually with the perfect size and dual camera. Nothing special like extraordinary but nevertheless a good upgrade if you take a lot of pics and like to read on your phone. Not a fan of sense still, thats about it

Camera pics are a little washed out. Hopefully an firmware update will fix that.

I don't think you'll be disappointed with the Nexus.
I came from an HTC One M7 and dont regret it at all

Thinking of getting an M8 to replace my broken Nexus 5. How's it so far for those who have been using it for some time?

coming from an s3, i'm actually very happy with it. camera's ok, but definitely was not a dealbreaker for me unlike other people. the metal body makes it feel very solid. audio and processing performance is good. the sense UI only took me an hour or so to get used to. of course, i'm coming from an android OS variant which made the transition a lot easier.

IIRC, there's a "Google" version with stock android and no sense overtop, right? Could be worth it as HTC Sense has been pretty shitty in my own experience.

I've heard that Sense 6 isn't as bad as previous versions.

The more I read and look into the M8 the more I want it... the only thing holding me back is the camera.
