HTC have had their latest and greatest toy — the HTC One (M8) — on sale for less than a week, but reports are coming out of Taiwan that the demand for the flagship phone is currently outstripping supply quite considerably.

P.S I just bought the Nexus 5 last night. As a uni student i’m not quite rich enough to get a flagship on prepaid or a plan! Moving from the 2 year old Xperia S and Sony’s lack of… Read more »
I’d never trust anything The Verge has to say.
Nexus cameras are horrible in general. I’ve seen less grain at a mill.
I’m pretty happy with my current phone, the LG Optimus G which is rumoured to get kit kat within a couple of months. Might upgrade to the next G version to come out.
