Great phone, Great choice

Reviewed in the United States on January 8, 2015

Great phone. Sense UI is very intuitive and looks great. Love the news feed. The screen is very responsive. Battery lasts ~1day under heavy use; moderate use 2/3 days (which i'm satisfied with). HTC regularly updates the dot view (wich i very much love) for the dot case with charming themes. The camera is really good; i don't really use the 3D thingy; i brag about it though (and ppl are like wtf. Aliens!). The sound is really good. I also had the M7 with beats audio and the Boomsound on M8 sounds better; +bass and +sweeter sounds overall. The phone looks so darn good i hate to wear a case; it has the right weight so it does not feel like a cheap toy wheb holding it. I am also glad that it has a card slot which it's rly useful. Everything starts up fast and runs well. The phone is rootable and s-off-able. The signal is strong, wireless as well.
The only small downside would be that the screen is too responsive at times and it detects your finger when it's just above the screen (very very very close to screen, i'm talking about 0.2mm); after i got used with the keyboard layout I magically managed to get over this. A friend just bought Note 4 and it has the same issue; maybe it's from gorilla glass
I have the phone for half a year now and i'm still in love with it. I dropped it once from ~1m, without case, on gritstone and it just got 2 tiny tiny white spots.
I bought this phone along with 2 other friends of mine. I liked it so much that i bought for my dad one too

Had a terrible experience and learned it a hard way

Reviewed in the United States on September 21, 2016

Never buy international warranty phones from amazon. Had a terrible experience and learned it a hard way. I bought a HTC M8 from WCE Distributors on October 2015. The invoice did not have serial number or IMIE number, which generally is there whenever you buy it from ATT, Sprint, Best buy etc.

Well the phone's screen stopped working (blacked out) after 3 months.

When I called HTC they said they need Serial number or IMIE number to provide support/troubleshooting.

I reached out to WCE distributor earlier this year earlier this year for serial number/IMIE number, but they plainly refused.

Somehow I was able to find it serial number by connecting it to a laptop. I called HTC now they are telling the device is actually sold on 25th June to someone in Hongkong and I need to call Hangkong numbers to get support. It is ridiculous and total system failure.

My conclusion is don't buy phones from Amazon in case you are counting on manufacturer warranty or any kind of support, in 99% cases you will be on your own. 1% I am leaving out for some fortunate ones :)

Amayzon phone!! I had an EVO when it first came out and then switched to samsung and have had samsung galaxy first to fifth and and note 2 and 3 and decided to switch back to HTC because it had such high praise. Well i'm glad i did. As much as i miss my big screen from my notes, this phone is very well built like an iPhone but i very much dislike iPhones. I do like their build. Feels very sturdy not plastic. Loving the speakers in the front and the screen is very nice and camera is awesome. It can even unlock the phone with just your face and when it's too dark or doesn't recognize your face you can put a password and it unlocks traditional way. The face recognition is just a faster way to unlock and it also has where you can put in extreme power saver and turns everything running off except email, text, and calls. Battery has lasted me all day and i have a bunch of apps running compared to my samsungs. Overall great phone.

I waited awhile before posting a review because of my previous experience with phones working fine for the first few days or weeks and then suddenly starts giving problems. BUT I've had my phone now for a few months and i haven't had any problems. The only downside to this phone i found was the fact that the battery cant be removed but so far i had no cause to remove it.

I got this phone for my wife and she loves as do I. The build quality is as advertised and it is certainly brand new. It was unlocked and ready to go when the sim card installed. I love the phone but I do have one complaint. None of the information from the seller mentions that this phone will not work with T-Mobile 4g lte in the states. I will have to move the phone to another provider in order to get 4g.

Excellent Phone, but first make sure everything is in there

The phone came on time, but I had a part missing from my phone which was the SD card tray. If it wasn't for that, this would've been a 5 star, great phone overall. I recommend buying a case because it is a little slippery in your hands

I don't know why it took me so long to write this review. I bought this phone in september, and it's absolutely amazing. I am very satisfied. It's working great since the day I bought it. And the best of all, it was much much cheaper comparing to my country.

Product is as advertised. When I got it, the phones language was on something oriental like Chinese or Japanese so I had to find my way to the settings using icons and change the language to English. After that the phone has worked great.
