HTC is today announcing a new variant of its popular One M8 smartphone: the HTC One M8 for Windows. The new phone has the exact same hardware features and specifications as the Android model released earlier this year, but it is running Windows Phone 8.1 in place of Android 4.4 and HTC's Sense user interface. It is available starting today exclusively from Verizon Wireless' online store for $99.99 with a new two-year contract, and will be in stores starting tomorrow.

The One M8 for Windows is the first major, high-end Windows Phone from a maker other than Nokia since HTC released the Windows Phone 8X back in the fall of 2012. HTC says it has received numerous requests from customers to offer its well-regarded M8 hardware with Windows Phone, and this device is the response to those requests.

WHY DID THIS HAVE TO BE A VERIZON EXCLUSIVE??????



I do love that HTC released the same exact phone as it's Android variant without any changes though

I have really been wanting to try Windows phones. I just can't shake the app availability.

AT&T is getting HTC's new One M8 with Windows Phone too

Apparently the Verizon Wireless exclusivity on HTC's One M8 with Windows Phone was not so exclusive. AT&T is getting it too.

Why would anyone choose this over a Lumia?

I'm waiting on the 1525 but they haven't said a peep about it since early July when it was announced.
