I've been using the M8 for just over a month and enjoying every minute of it. I've held onto my ICON waiting for Verizon to release CYAN and see if it corrects some of the annoyances of Utilizing DP -- battery drain, long delay awaking from sleep. But the M8 exceeds all of my expectations by delivering an impressive 8.1 Experience with great processing speed, incredible battery life, sexy design and a ton of after market accessories that are readily available.
As most people I thought inferior camera, questionable HTC support, lack of wireless charging. HTC has exceeded my expectation with a battery the puts the ICON to shame and thus no need for wireless charging. I was lucky to get a full day of battery out of the ICON with 45 Mins of phone time and email. Even in idle state the ICON burned through battery as a feverous pace. The M8 easily makes it through 2days before needed a charge. Taking pictures is a breeze with the M8 as there is no lag launching the camera and app. Shutter speed is quick and allows to capture pictures back to back which is important to me as I take candids and need the app available fast. I missed every opportunity to capture the moment with the ICON & 1020 dues to the lag from pressing the dedicated camera button.
I was leary to step away from Nokia but thus far all that has gone away. Icon will be posted in 4Sale Section shortly..
