I believe it. HTC US president said HTC has another announcement later this month.
So what is you reasons to get the M9, perhaps it's size? Maybe not liking TouchWiz?
Better check out the S6 since you have the N4. The Samsung rep today at BB spoke nothing but positives about the S6 after seeing and trying one. Beforehand he pretty much did not think anything would have him consider the S6 over his N4.
He's a samsung rep. I wouldn't expect him to think any differently or be any less gushing .... it's his job after all - I'd be more shocked has the Samsung rep said he was getting the M9
----------
Not sure why they think releasing it at the exact same time as Samsung is a good idea anyway. They simply don't have the marketing budget that Samsung have and you would think they would simply release it later around June instead. Even Sony & Motorola don't go up against Samsung's release schedule.

Time will tell how well the M9 sells.
Yes but he did not think he would even consider getting the S6 cause he really likes his N4. Food for thought, he is the same boat as us as he needs to sell the N4 and he told he he would not mind taking a hit for the upgrade. That is a total turnaround from his initial plan of keeping the Note 4.
Its a double edge sword, either they wait and everyone who is upgrade eligible has done so already or they have go up against them and their marketing. But between everyone upgrading either in the fall (apple) or spring (Samsung) it doesn't leave much for the summer as people have either upgraded for a Samsung or are waiting on apple.
Valid arguments, I think because of this HTC doesn't have another choice, and I don't get it, why LG thinks they are good to release between Samsung and Apple.
M9 seems like it has the recipe for what I would like for the most part: timely software updates, good hardware, owning the M7 in the past, and having a newer experience than Samsung's lack of support for the Note 4. They've been very lazy. I just cannot see myself not using a phone without a fingerprint scanner anymore though.

At least they can legitimately advertise it as the hottest mobile of 2015
What the hell has happened to Qualcomm and their snapdragon range ? They've been having issues with heat since 801, 805 and now 810 to greater or lesser extents. They clearly need to think of some other way of moving this chipset on efficiently because it's clearly not working just making it faster ..

Feel bad for HTC here, they have limited funds, and were almost out of business last year. They do not have the deep pockets of Apple or Samsung.
The One M9, reminds me of the EVO 3D, just a sad successor to the awesome EVO 4G.
HTC should have held off on the M9, until this Fall, and put the Snapdragon 820 in it, and put more time in all new metal design like the rumored renders.

Qualcomm Announces Snapdragon 820 and Zeroth Platform, Could Hit Consumer Devices Early 2016

Qualcomm did say, the Snapdragon 820 is built on a FinFET process, which could be either TSMCs 16nm or Samsungs 14nm process. Continuing, the company also introduced its new custom ARMv8 CPU core, named Kryo.

This is hilarious. Weren't people getting pissed at Samsung (before unveiling) talking about, "Oh the 810 is just fine and isn't overheating. I'm not sure why Samsung didn't use it."

I think HTC came out and said that their software is not final, so discount all those benchmarks and overheating and disappointing camera results.
Sure hope that is the case. They are in huge trouble if these issues aren't ironed out first before making it into reviews. Yes, every new device will have its early flaws/glitches, etc., but HTC can barely afford to have these stains. If people aren't already looking to the S6 instead, they certainly will if these issues come to light. HTC is in a tough place where extra scrutiny will be placed on the camera. And because they are releasing it almost at the same time as Samsung's flagship, comparisons will be drawn.
The M9 doesn't seem like a bad device, and by every measure, is a reasonable upgrade from M8. But in light of the S6 and the Edge, in light of Apple's insanely successful venture into larger devices (finally), and in light of HTC's overall poor image and past mistakes, people will not be able to see the M9 for what it's worth. And you almost can't blame them.
HTC needs to get it together.

Looks nice......you should start its own thread and not hijack an existing thread.
Snapdragon 810 overheating issues on the M9 makes Samsung's decision to go Exynos look wiser by the day. Remember, Samsung built this custom 14nm chip two years ago. Snapdragon 801 was a cooler chip. Snapdragon 810 seems not. Qualcomm failed this time.
The problem with HTC like most other OEM's is they relied too heavily on Qualcomm and didn't make the SoC themselves. Add HTC being stupid again by using metal design. How practical for heat dissipation! Qualcomm got FAT & LAZY thinking they can get away with incremental upgrades without worrying about thermal issues since they have a monopoly with Android and WP flagships.
We now know that Samsung's latest Exynos is seems like at least one generation ahead of Qualcomms Snapdragon 810. Cooler, faster,and 14nm. LG, Sony,and many others will soon release phones with a substandard Qualcomm SoC called the 810 while Samsung has got them beaten this year by leapfrogging passed the Snapdragons this time. I am disappointed more in Qualcomm than HTC. I knew complacency would sink in after dominating for so long. There are lows after every high. Qualcomm didn't try hard enough which now affects many 2015 flagships that haven't been officially announced yet.

Design wise - M7 > M8 > M9
How can any Samsung hater whether from the Apple/HTC/Sony camp overlook the sexiness from this phone? That platinum gold is starting to look better to me than the emerald green...
