Summary: HTC's new flagship, the HTC One M8, will be available in some places today in the UK, but where should would-be owners look to get their devices from?
Mobile operators and retailers across the UK have already begun selling HTC's all-new aluminium frame flagship, the HTC One M8 after its launch yesterday. But which one is offering the best deal?
O2's prices for the HTC One M8 start at £38 a month on a two-year plan, which includes a 2GB per month data limit with unlimited voice minutes and text. The device has an addition £49 upfront cost on that plan.
With an 8GB 4G-ready plan, the monthly fee goes up to £48 a month with a lower £19.99 upfront fee, while the 5GB 4G-ready plan costs £43 a month with an upfront cost of £29.99.
Three UK is stocking the grey and silver editions of the HTC One M8, with prices starting at £38 per month, going up to £44 per month at an upfront cost of £40.
At the lower end of the price spectrum, consumers will get 2GB data and 600 minutes of voice time. For £41 a month, they'll get as much data as they can consume in a month and 600 minutes of voice; alternatively, for the same price, they can choose the 2GB monthly data cap with unlimited voice minutes. For £44 a month, they get both data and voice uncapped.
Vodafone is offering separate 3G and 4G pricing for the HTC One M8, which is also available in grey and silver. Looking only at 4G pricing, its two year contracts start at £47 a month with no upfront cost, which includes 3GB of data and unlimited voice minutes and text.
Vodafone is also throwing in six months of Spotify, Sky Sports Mobile TV, support and 3GB of access over its wi-fi. Its 5GB per month cap with the same features costs £52 a month, while at the very top end with 13GB of data, the plan will cost £62 a month.
Customers can order now order the M8 from Vodafone for delivery on 27 March. The HTC One M8 is also now being sold at several shops in London including two stores on Oxford Street, one in Westfield in Stratford, and one in the White City.
Carphone Warehouse is already stocking the silver and grey models and says the gold will also go sale on 7 April. Its SIM-free cost for the HTC One M8 is £529. It's also offering £100 cashback on contract deals through O2, Vodafone, and EE.
The retailer says its best value deal is with O2, which costs the £38 a month and comes with an upfront charge of £49 on a two-year contract — the same deal is available direct from O2 — and includes 1GB of data and uncapped voice and text.
Its best free phone deal is with EE and costs £42.99 a month for a 4GB data, unlimited text and minutes, while its best 4G deal is with O2 and costs £43 a month with an upfront cost of £29 and offers 5GB of data with uncapped text and voice minutes.
EE itself will be stocking the HTC One M8 on what it calls a "wide range" of plans. The details of those plans are unknown, however, as the EE site was down at the time of writing.
