#plastic htc one m8

Numerous reports are coming in about the Taiwanese firm’s plan of releasing a non-aluminum version of the HTC One (M8) in order to make the price tag more competitive. As you know, HTC prides itself on making one of the best, if not the best looking flagship smartphone in the market. But looks alone oftentimes doesn’t cut it and, more often than not, consumers are still willing to opt for a cheaper handset made of plastic than a well-crafted smartphone with higher SRP. It’s still uncertain if there’s any truth behind this hear-say, but if TMTPost’s report is to be believed, then we might see a plastic HTC One (M8) which the site claims to be almost half the price (USD483 vs USD853) of its metal-clad counterpart. Without the iPhone, we would not have seen the likes of Samsung Instinct, Omnia i900, HTC Touch Diamond, LG Dare and Sony-Ericsson Xperia this early. I had 4 most likely candidates as a great iPhone alternative -- the HTC Touch Diamond, Nokia N96, Samsung i900 Omnia and the Sony-Ericsson Xperia. I had mixed feelings after trying out the HTC Touch Dual phone several weeks ago. The phone is powered by a Qualcomm MSM 7200, 400 MHz processor running Windows Mobile 6 and is compatible with all of the usual HTC accessories.
