HTC One M8 for Windows reportedly heading to T-Mobile and Sprint too | WinBeta
As we all are well aware, it is rumored (and very likely true) that the new HTC one M8 will be coming to Sprint and T-Mobile, as well as the already-announced AT&T. That will make it the very first Windows Phone that is available on all four of the major carriers. This is obviously great news for people like me who are T-Mobile customers, but I'm wondering if this is actually a good thing for a phone that was initially announced as an exclusive.
I think it is likely that many (Samsung & LG for starters) are watching the HTC One M8 for Windows to see whether they want to dip their toes further into the Windows Phone with new devices. However, it also seems like they are very short-sighted and only see what happens out of the gate instead of in the long term. With the AT&T announcement and the very likely true T-Mobile and Sprint rumors, those who were likely to head into Verizon and pick one up are now likely going to wait. Is this a good or bad thing?
Then again, maybe I have it all wrong. What do you guys think?
