Using m9 currently, upgraded from m7 last year. Have always been supporting HTC since my first smartphone. Gonna get the 10 then go find a 2nd hand m8 to complete the set =P
HTC software update in Singapore is quite on speed compare to some brands and what i know usually the telco apps are done by them too so not much different. Really hope by mid or end of this month they release the phone.
Several questions to you
1) M9 is said to have CPU overheating issue & camera photo shoot result, the colour accuracy not accurate, is this 2 problem real ?
2) When HTC announce software upgrade globally, it will take around 3 months to arrive Singapore.
3) HTC ownself flash apps for the 3 telcos here ?
4) I foresee won't be available so early.
If earliest may be early July. The phone not yet approved by IDA
They sure must plan for marketing material
They sure must negotiate with telcos & retailers, to sell the phone
They also must print label, with Singapore IDA approval
Not easy though, lots of hard work to do
