Last year I updated to the HTC M8 WP8.1 and Oh MAN! I didn't expect all the haters! People see my Phone and think I'm a mutant from an altered dimension. I broke the mold from my former iphone 5 and now I'm not cool. That I am fine with, but when I try to talk Tech regarding how great and how much I love this Phone and OP system people think I'm crazy. Then if I ask them if they have used both phones, sure enough they haven't so I think I'm a better judge of each than they are... This fact sort of ticks me off. I can only say this, "Thank you God for releasing me from iTunes dependency and giving me freedom to simply download apps and they just show up on my phone bill." Oh, and I drop it all the time and my HTC never breaks! Thank GOD! No more broken iphone screens and faulty lightening charger defects!:excited:
