Mike’s Musings: If the only difference between the HTC One M8 and W8 is the operating system, then I think Windows Phone lovers, no matter how small, will have a new manufacture to go for the best phone on the market. We’ll see just how good the phone is when it ultimately gets released. I’m still not a believer that Windows Phone will ever appeal to more than niche market. Then again, stranger things have happened.
