Anyone jumping ship and getting the HTC One M8? - Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3

I have the opportunity to get an M8 heavily discounted with no contract. What do you guys think? Should I get it?

Just bit the bullet

So, I just bought a "new" Galaxy nexus on ebay. So, What should I do with my rezound? Sell it, or hold it? I obviously I am jumping the gun a little, I have yet to receive it. I probably wont see it until next weekend. I know technologically it is inferior, however it has a much much larger development community.
Even when the ril is working, there will be other hurdles that need to be crossed. After ICS source comes out for the rezound I may regret my new purchase.

Even better, donate it to the community by finding someone who wants to dev for this phone but doesn't have one.

Or keep both like I do and be a balla! You can get an adapter for like $2 on Amazon for the micro sim to full size sim.
I could use one for experimental development. 10 dollars

Eff wire fly, they used charge you the price of the phone if you change your plan in any way or switch phones.
I'm never trusting them again..

No, the price is right - for the Sprint model. But Wirefly hasn't sold AT&T for years now.

Question on Purchasing an S4

I was thinking of buying an S4 to replace my rezound. If I don't let the Verizon people touch it or turn it on, what are the chances that the phone will NOT have root breaking OTA?
Thanks

If you use a discounted upgrade price they are not going to let you walk out with them activating it.

Discounted upgrades were discontinued earlier this year. You purchase just like you were a new customer.

I used my two year upgrade at flywire. Com
Came with mdk
When I first got my phone at the store I told them not to open it and they didn't. I told them I was in a hurry and that I'll activate it later.

I bought my S4 from Best Buy last Saturday. They made me activate it and set it up, but it only began to download the update. When the update notification asked me to install the update, I said "wait 23 hours". When the 23 hours were over, I instructed it to wait 23 more hours. In that time, I was able to root my phone, install a custom recovery, freeze the update APK, install Darkside's ME7 rom, and sigh with relief. Also came from the Rezound. It was a good choice.

One more day than necessary with this busted Rezound may kill me.
Thanks for all the info, I'm going to try the hurried customer approach.

Just bought my S4 from best buy 2 days ago it came with the mdk firmware first thing I did was turn off mobile data to make sure the update could not download. Rooted unlocked and had CM 10.2 on my S4 within the first hour. Just make sure when you buy the phone you turn off WiFi and data that way the update can't download

Don't get me started on the Rezound, by far the worst phone I have ever owned.
Anyway, just got back from Verizon. They said they wouldn't let the phone take the update before I got it, and it was pre update. So all is wel.

NewEgg AT&T HTC One Black Refurb $249 or less

I jumped on this ..it's the only real "Deal" I have seen on a HTC One
No Idea how much stock they have so I'd hurry if you want one

are you talking from experience or just guessing ?
the only other review on newegg stated the device was in Mint condition
Pros: Phone is in mint condition. Came with Android 4.12
Cons: I ordered a Black HTC One but they sent a silver one instead. duh heck?
The stock recovery on the phone was corrupt or missing.
The previous owner obviously had this rooted and a unlocked boot loader and blew up the phone... that's why they returned it to either AT&T or HTC.
Luckily we have the XDA devs so we can fix problems like these!

Yeah the camera is not a deal breaker for me.
I'll still need to test the sound and radio's. But it seems to be a keeper

Update @beaups
I used the phone all day today without any problems
the Sound is perfect. the Radio's all work as expected
