Also HTC are a lot better than they were with Android updates

Personally I think it's Samsung that are the ones that are falling behind when it comes to timely updates and it's one of the things I'll have to consider when I can upgrade next year.
Indeed, the One M8 is awesome, but by the time I go to upgrade it should be replaced.

I want an 810 powered phone for the 64bit support that comes with Lollipop for a bit of extra futureproofing. I wouldn't be unhappy with the One as it is to not be changed much design wise as it is gorgeous and just add the latest toys really.

As for the update front, I'm glad they are finally getting on track. The One X+ had a vague promise of being supported for at least 2 updates of Android. We got 4.2, then when 4.3 HTC claimed that Nvidia didn't let them, or something. That stung a bit, although I'm now using a AOSP 4.4 ROM so hey ho.
