During a press conference today in New York, HTC took the wraps off its powerful One M8 smartphone which is equipped with a quad-core processor, two rear-facing cameras, and an updated Sense 6.0 user interface.



Like its predecessor, the handset will come to all four major US carriers: AT&T, Sprint, Verizon, and T-Mobile. Customers can place orders for it, beginning today at 10am PT (1pm ET), with all these carriers, save for T-Mobile. AT&T reported that the M8 will cost $199.99 on-contract. Unlocked and developer editions will sell for $649.99 through HTC. In addition, Best Buy will exclusively stock the amber gold color variant of the phone.


Prepaid carrier T-Mobile said its consumers can purchase the phone online and in retail stores starting next month. Though exact dates were not given, HTC, at least, guaranteed that the handset will be available in all carrier retail stores by April 10th.


Globally, the One M8 will be available in 230 carriers around the world in over 100 countries. Besides the US, it will launch by the end of April in Australia, Taiwan, the UK, Germany, France, and China.
