Don't dismiss the Ativ SE.
Just straight up tell me cause I can't decide. Go!
At this point, i'd go for the SE and I dislike Samsung XDWhy? I dismissed it early on in my research. Overpriced and austere compared to either the Icon or M8 imo.
I chose M8 for a few reasons. The camera quality is good enough for the little I'll use it and it is the latest and greates in all other respects imo. Wireless charging wasn't on my list of things to care about either.
Icon duh
It's the best Overall smartphone...the M8 is nice as well but while there are some good stand-out features in the M8, the Icon is the better phone overall. Plus the Camera is fantastic
(though if i were you idk who you are with but i' dislike verizon lol....)
But yeah Icon most definitely over the M8.
I'd also recommend the Ativ SE over the M8. A lot of people are Bullish over HTC's support and while they may support the M8 well, they could also continue to not really fully support the device(they definitely dropped the ball with their previous devices).
A big plus is the Lumia comes from Nokia/Microsoft so it is definitely a larger priority not to mention the software enhancements that Lumia has that extends the OS even more that other Phones do not get. That Nokia Support is great
Saying the Icon is the better overall phone is just an opinion. A more accurate statement would be the Icon is best for your needs. Both phones have strengths and weaknesses and hands on time in the store is the best way to decide which you prefer.
Sarcasm I said that since people had such a problem with Non-HTC owners criticizing the device.I didn't say it. You did.
It really is the best looking Lumia I am jealous of my boyfriend as he has what i think is presently the best looking wp device to date(icon) Glad u enjoy yoursI went in to Verizon last week to buy the M8, ended up leaving with the Icon because of its gorgeousness! Can't put it down! My husband did get the M8 and is overall happy with it so far.

It really is a great looking device! I came so close to getting it too when it first came out. Now I'll wait to see what the 830 looks like.
Ok, who are you and what have you done with 'Mutt?Having not used the M8 for WP yet and only the M8 for Android, I can only give you half an answer, but seeings how I like to pretend I know more then I do, I am all over it...
From what I can gather from your posts, camera performance is not remotely high on your lists. I understand this. For me, I have never changed a single setting except my flash. The only thing i care about is shutter speed, and I never figure that out until I have the thing in my hand. So, why waste your time?
Support: I can honestly say I have had nothing but disappointment and heartache from HTC in this area. I will spare you all my tales of woe, and just say be sure you love the performance of the M8 now. Do not buy it with hopes of improvements. Yes, Verizon is like every other carrier- spotty at best with approved updates. At worst, they hold things up and you will never get them. I do believe the Icon will get better support and more updates based on Nokia/MS past performance.
However, I also feel you just plain like the HTC better from your posts. It is a sexy phone, beyond excellent audio (something I will not comprimise on with my next purchase), and the screen tech is bright enough to burn your retinas. That is a good thing.
You will not go wrong or regret the Icon, which I would most likely choose. It has a vibrant screen, it handles all commands and tools/apps seamlessly, and there have been only very small complaints about it. It has been around long enough if it was going to give a huge set of problems we would know. But I think the HTC is a winner and the ONE series is HTC's best device line since the EVO series. The old 8X has recieved a ton of fan mail on these forums. Again, not a ton of support, but users like it.
I, along with a few others, think the ATIV SE is the most underated WP in the history of the OS. But you are not interested, so I saythat based on where you posted this if you like the performance of the M8, jump on in. If you have ANY doubts, grab the Icon.
