Look at the Moto X, with tiny bezels.
Onscreen buttons adapt to whatever you need, offscreen buttons are fixed.

But they off screen where they should be, they don't adapt that well onscreen, had lots with them and I dont like them, we have to agree to disagree

No problem whatsoever 
Similar here, my M7 contract is up in April.
I think price may be an issue though, M7 it was £50 toward the phone then £19.99 a month. I see next to no chance of getting a deal like that and I am unlikely to go above £26.
Blatantly going to end up with an M8 cheap!
In my eyes, they really need to change it up with the camera, and innovate in that department in the same way they did with front facing speakers. It's no secret that the overwhelming criticism of the M7 and M8 is the camera. Pretty much every other department is praised; they need to make it really special like something similar to Pureview, or Ultrapixels that actually work like they're supposed (i.e. significantly improved low light images) but with a resolution bump.
I'm going to be very disappointed if they simply pick some old 20mp sensor (i.e. the Z3 sensor) and update the SoC.

Honestly wish we could get something like the A8/A8X on Android, I don't see anyone needing 8 cores, highend PCs have 4 cores just seems silly.

MediaTek is making a 12 core CPU, /facepalm.
Its a negative in my point, none of those SoC have the memory bandwidth to really even support 3 cores properly, its just more heat, more volts, no gains.

S810 is looking pretty disappointing thus far, which is a shame since most flagships will use it.
Was the bigLITTLE idea designed with all 8 cores working together initially? As the first few SoCs only allowed 4 cores to be used at a time (switching between high performance and low power), then suddenly it moved to enabling all 8 to run together...
Nvidia had the right idea to go back to 2 strong cores on the K1... which oddly went back to 8 cores with the Tegra X1.
Maybe the Snapdragon 808 might've been the safer choice...
You never know, the all metal build on HTC's phone may help with cooling.

It's not about running all 8 together, but a mixture of big and little cores.
nVidia stated they went back to the standard 8 core because of the process node drop to 20nm. Tick Tock style.
Either way I still think we have ample processing power for now. GPU's are getting a nice boost lets not forget.
Fair enough, the A15/A7 combo seems to have worked pretty nicely, could be because A57/A53 was designed for entering higher performance markets.
Makes sense, would give Nvidia more time to get Denver compatible with 20nm.
GPU wise the Adreno 430 does sound like a beast and looks very promising. It should perform even better on Hima's 1080p screen compared to 1440p screens

Rather have an A8X in there .
.
I thought the M9 was going to ship with the Mediatek 6795 octocore 64 bit processor.

Had 3x M7's all of which went faulty. It's a shame because I actually liked the phone (when it worked).
So while I used to be a big supporter back in the early days of the XDA Mini S etc, I'm steering clear of anything HTC for my next phone. Their quality control seems to have gone downhill lately and I don't see the M9 being any different.

I guess you mean a critical success as they've both been a dismal failure commercially?
The early M7s and M8s were plagued by QC issues and they fell off the premium pedestal very quickly to begin fighting on price against the Galaxy and iPhone devices of the time by being cheaper, not better.
I honestly think they need to stop trying to force a USP.. the camera on both phones was nowhere near as good as the competition other than in very niche situations and the front of the M8 had acres of what many complained was wasted space, partly due to the obsession with boom sound which lead to it having a smaller screen than the competition with a bigger footprint.
I'd like to see them have a success but those last 2 handsets have seen them losing money and market share hand over fist.
Successes they were not.
