HTC One (M8) for Windows launching soon at AT&T, T-Mobile [Update]
It will not be long before AT&T and T-Mobile customers will also be able to get their hands on HTC One (M8) for Windows, as both US mobile operators are now listing the Windows Phone as "coming soon" to their stores.
One (M8) for Windows launched in August as a Verizon-exclusive version of One (M8) running Android. The smartphone, which costs $99.99 on a two-year contract with big red, is the first to ship with Windows Phone 8.1 Update 1 out-of-the-box.
The AT&T and T-Mobile landing pages for One (M8) for Windows do not offer any information as to how much the Windows Phone will run for when it goes on sale. At AT&T, it is likely that One (M8) for Windows will cost between $99.99 and $199.99, on a typical two-year contract with the mobile operator.
For reference, at AT&T, One (M8) can be had for $199.99 on a two-year contract, $27.92 per month with AT&T Next 18, $33.50 per month with AT&T Next 12, or $669.99 off-contract. For the same device, T-Mobile is asking $585.60 (or $537.60 if you buy it online or via phone, at the time of writing this article).
Both AT&T and T-Mobile announced that they will carry One (M8) for Windows shortly after the smartphone's introduction at Verizon. At the time, its upcoming availability was said to be ahead of the holiday season and, at least at first, only in online stores.
