T-Mobile is in the holiday spirit and are dropping some deals to make the season bright. The latest offering is a $50 discount on the popular HTC One M8 (both Android and Windows Phone versions). The discount drops the full retail price from $585.60 down to $535.44 — not a huge discount but still some extra change in your pocket for the holiday season.
If you opt to go the monthly route instead, you can do so for $0 up front and $22.31/month for 24 months.
With the purchase, you'll also snag a brand new limited edition Xbox Dot View Case to go along with your new phone as a bit of an added bonus.
You can head over to T-Mobile to check out all the details and get in on the discount offer now. We're not sure how long it will last, so get on it while the gettin' is good.

Save $50 on the HTC One M8 at T-Mobile for a limited time
Awesome! Glad I waited!
Is there a way to buy that green Xbox dot view case without having to get a phone? I got the M8 from Verizon when it first came out in August so that promotion wasn't around back then
Anyone know if this is for current customers as well?

Yes, it is :)
Just ordered it!
Ugh I just don't want this phone on T-Mobile. Still waiting on a high-end Nokia on T-Mobile .
Same +925
Every store I've called has had a different story. One says they're getting them in soon, another tells me they're not getting them in at all and they're special order only. Oddly enough, they ALL knew which phone I was taking about when I called. I was completely ready for them to say "uhhhhh, no sir, the M8 in an android phone, not windows."
They are not getting them in store. You can call as many stores as you like wishing and praying you'll get lucky but the answer remains the same, Online Only.
I really want to get this. My 925 has been replaced twice already. But with typical lack of Tmo support, I don't want another 810 on my hands.
T Mobile service bites.
I've got good ol' AT&T... Expensive as hell but service is good and phone selection is awesome. How come people dont realize you get what you pay for? Between T Mobile and Sprint I've heard more Verizon and AT&T switchers complaining that their new service sucks... You cut your bill in half... What planet have you been living on where there is such a thing as a free lunch?!
That said the M8 was a great upgrade from a 1520 thanks the IR blaster... Never could keep track of the TV remote but thanks to the M8 I don't have to!
AT&T is not expensive as hell imo, Verizon is :P
Almost switched before they released M8 on AT&T... Seemed like prices would've been pretty close??
TMo service is great and generally outperforms the other carriers in my part of the country. It's how they pick phones and support them they really need to work on.
You have no idea what you are talking about. I have Tmobile and have zero issues with service and before you try throwing the, well in this area blah blah blah, I'll tell you you're still bs. I have family\ friends in 7 states that I visit and it's just fine.
And good ol' ATT is ripping you a new one, fyi. I had ATT and they are crap. Lets see you try and get anywhere close to the unlimited plan I have and pay less than $85.00 a month.
Think I'll stick with good ol Tmobile.
Don't hate... Just sharing my experiences. For what its worth I'm in Kentucky... Have 3 co-workers who switched to tmo and two who went with sprint... All 5 complain about low data speeds compared to their previous carriers. I usually brag and show them my consistently 10mbs+ speed test results... Often as high as 40 or more.
Also coverage maps for sprint and tmo don't show any significant coverage in eastern Kentucky where my wife and I have a cabin... Verizon and AT&T dont even quite make it but at least if we walk uphill a bit we can get coverage... At least going by the coverage maps I'd have to drive 5 miles or more to get service with those guys.
I have had sprint and wife had tmobile...she dropped more calls than I did with sprint, and after switching to AT&T, I wouldn't ever switch back to anything but Verizon...sprints internet stunk and her call quality and coverage was awful...just my 2 cents
Actually cyclingguy, I have unlimited on AT&T for $88 all in and got the M8 for free which makes my 2 year service per month about $60. Switching to T-Mobile would actually be more expensive with less coverage.
I just don't understand how the monthly fee turns out to be good. :/ . People complain they want cheaper monthly then they add the cost too which is a ton more. Imo.
It's just an option if you don't want to spend the $530 upfront; they finance it for you. You end up paying more in the long run, but it's an option if you want something and don't have the money right now.
Not sure how other carriers finance but on Jump, you pay the price of the phone, nothing more. If the M8 is 585.00, you pay 585.00. Where they tend to get you is the actual starting price of the phone but oddly the M8 is actually cheaper on tmo.
Let me explain - at Verizon I paid 220 a month for two phones with a 2 year contract , plus when my 2 years was up I could upgrade to a HTC One for $199 plus tax, $25 upgrade fee, and another 2 yeAr contract. By paying monthly I get a $25 per month per phone discount, so if I get the HTc One for $22 per month not subsidized i save $3 a month plus I save the $199 plus $25 initial cost. Way better because you save the upfront costs, and if you get a kid range phone you can save a lot monthly too. A new iPhone 6 is $27 per month fyi
Wonder does this mean sales are low. Seems odd to discount it so soon after sales. Then again the android one is discounted as well.
I will let my buddy know about this though since he is hell bent on this phone, poor fool :D
Here's what a T-Mobile rep told me... Not in stores, likewise with an Android phone (not the M8), because T-Mobile is "testing the waters to see how well they will sell." So I asked him point blank if he thought either phone would sell when T-Mobile is doing almost zero promotion for either phone, and then to top it off not even bringing the phones to the stores.
I really hope he was mistaken and I do get to check out the phone in person. And even a single flippin' poster up in the store would be nice to see for a change.
I expect TMo to pull both phones within 8 weeks, which should be long enough for them to see almost no sales of these phone, and it'll go right over Mr. Legere's head that company practice contributes to those dismal sales numbers.
I remember when I went to Verizon to check out the Ativ SE, they had a sign outside the door promoting it. But when I got in, it was nowhere to be found. Seem kinda pointless to me... Having a sign but no phone.
Anyways, I went to the Microsoft store to check it out. From now on, that's what I'll do. They have all the phones from all the carries there. This is probably not an option for everybody, but if you have one around your area, check it out. Plus, they could use the foot traffic.
Oh wow that's crazy. The att store around here is just as bad. While I am a Lumia dude through and through, in the end this is still a windows phone and despite my personal opinions of it(not a fan), it does at least deserve some mention and then it will be HTC blaming windows phone again. This phones release has been a mess really tbh. Shame.
I agree. I've been hounding T-Mobile on twitter and Facebook about the WindowsPhone issue. Maybe if enough of us do it, it'll help. I've been to a few stores and the reps didn't even know there was a windows version of this phone. The only people that know about it read news sites like windows central. I anticipate horrible sales.
Obviously, because I just got mine.
Lol. Figured it'd drop right after I got it.
How are you liking it so far? I've beyone frustrated with my 925. Worth the upgrade?
It is! Do it! I was skeptical but this is a monster machine! Glance is all I really miss. Everything about this phone is better. Except the camera, actually. I've resurrected the issue by making the MS Camera the default one. Pix are far more accurate without the fancy infrared camera. It's a waste of space. All my pix were blurry and fuzzy. MS camera is simple and quality is 10x better. You'll feel like a boss owning one of these. The size is perfect too. Fits perfect in your hand and it doesn't slide around. Watch some YouTube vids. The screen is solid. Takes very hard hammering to crack it and its basically scratch proof. The metal casing gets scuffed easily but its metal and already has the brushed metal look so all is good. !! LCD3 screen is more true with colors. Use this phone for 15min and then try using the L925... You wont want to ever again.
Thank you for this! I've been very skeptical as well. As much as I love glance I'm sure I could adjust. Have you had any overheating issues, apps oppening randomly, etc? All irritations from my 925 that's been replaced twice already.
As for Glance... Just double tap the screen and you will see your lockscreen. Set Weather as the lock screen and you'll have all the info u need. I never had an issue with my L925 to be honest. Additionally... The L925 overheated far more than the One. I had the One crash on me once but it was a new game that had lag issues. Plays Asphalt like a dream, for example. Without overheating. It's a beast! Go on HTC website. This phone has a 95% satisfaction rating. That's why they put windows on it. Because they trust thus device and people already love it. Brilliant! Still a Nokia fan. But I needed 5" 1080P and this delivers. As always... HTC hardware and superb.
I have a L920...No glance? I can do without QI charging if need be, but I can't do without glance...you say to just double tap the screen, but I have found myself where there are times I don't want to touch the screen (been working on the car and waved hand infront of phone without having to get grease on it)....that is one feature I dont think I can do without. I also like when I pull the phone out of my pocket, with glance, it shows my screen for a few seconds....glad you are liking your phone though!
I completely agree and have the same exact scenarios. But.... I'm living with it until MS gets their act together
This might be the One for me!
*Drum roll*.... BING!
Nice! But I left T-Mobile already.
