Come tomorrow, I too will be an HTC M8 WP owner! And Im quite excited about it too! I jumped on the WP train with a KIN(remember those? Haha) and of course, once it was deemed obsolete, I was anxious to check out Windows Phone 7 when my contract was up. I followed so much news and was front and center at ms launch events with 7.5. I really wanted a Titan but the Focus S was such a sexy device, I could resist! So I got the Sammy and was amazingly happy until windows 8 launched and I moved on to Nokia. Got the 920 in red and loved it, yet since then, with a few drops here and there, I've gotten 2 "free" upgrades to a 1020 and a 1520 which I currently own.
Overall, I've been happy with Nokia but none of their phones have matched the feeling I got with the focus s. My 1520 has been a treat, and im sure my wife will take it over, but it wasn't a phone I picked out nor really wanted, which might be why i was still so keen on upgrading when my contract was up. I saw the HTC m8 amd it just feels so luxurious! It looks gorgeous, and it has that perfect feeling in my hand! I only had a few moments with it at the att store so tomorrow, it will still feel quite new to me.
Like you, I desire more choice, and more big names making WP hardware, so Im quite proud to know im going be contributing to that! While I wish MS success in their hardware division, I think its time to move away from Lumia and give another oem a shot. This is my first HTC and I plan to keep it stock the whole way through. The preview for developers has turned me into an obsessed "update" freak and some of the updates haven't been tailored right for the hardware anyways, so id rather wait it out with a phone that works flawlessly than take more risks and become disgruntled if one takes too long.
Funny, one of the things I love most about it? Having Windows Phone written on the back haha. Add a free dot view case, Xbox branded?. Love it!!can't wait, nothing beats the excitement of getting a new phone!!!
