You'd always need a tariff though right?
But monthly, so I could easily change it or switch networks, maybe if one network went downhill, or I moved house and got poor reception from my current network. Or maybe I lost my job and wanted to go 'pay as you go' for a while. Just examples.

If you don't have the money then perhaps expensive phones are a daft idea anyway but that's for another day(You'll never have £500 spare if you keep signing up to pay 45 quid a month for the latest phone!) - the option instead therefore is to simply buy it on a 0% credit card and pay it off in monthly instalments. That way you benefit from paying monthly without being locked into a contract.

You can get monthly rolling contracts (well, Three do anyway) but they cost a little more than the equivalent yearly ones.

This is looking way too similar to the m8. Such a shame, as with a few tweaks, they could have a really desirable phone. For me, they need to get rid of the black band with HTC logo on it, slim down the bezels and improve the camera.
I think I'll wait to see what the g4 brings to the table before deciding on my next phone.

Buying upfront is great if you need to have the latest phone but for people like me who can handle the same phone for 18/24 months then paying monthly is just fine. I'd rather spend a few quid more each month than have to spend £500 up front on a phone - I'll spend that £500 on something more useful 
I so wish it looked like this. How boring it looks exactly like a M8 might stick with my M7.
I really wish that HTC are playing mind games with us. It would be so incredibly boring if the HTC M9 looks like the M8. We need a breath of fresh air when it comes to phone designs.
If the M9 ends up looking similar to the M9 then I'll definitely be crossing it off my shortlist.

Spigen have been quite clever about this.
The back is pretty much confirmed and the case will fit (I assume) the new-design M9 or the M8-design M9.

Just wtf with that huge band of wasted space just for an HTC logo. The home button is about 1/3 way up the blummin thing!!!
We really do, sadly nobody seems up to the challenge at the moment.
Looks like a potential purchase to me! Why change something that works? If they've given it a decent camera then job done!

Honestly, because since having a kid I have way less disposable income these days. I don't own a decent camera and would rather spend that amount of money on getting a really nice compact camera like the sony camera rx100 iii and then take way better photos.
I think the m7 looks better (symetrical, no huge black bar) and is better proportioned for me. Would feel like spending a lot of money to upgrade with trade offs. When I went from S3 to HTC One M7 it was an upgrade in every way to me (and there was only a year between, this is two years).
There are times you will be without your compact camera. Children present the perfect photo opportunity when you have only a phone on you typically! I've certainly found this with my 3 year old boy - he does the best things when the slr is at home!
haha true I'm hoping to get around this by going compact. The Mrs will nearly always be there (and she loves taking constant pictures of him anyway) so I'm planning on leaving it in her bag
It's only little and I'll agree to stop putting my wallet in her bag

You allow your lady......... to carry your wallet? There's no saving you my man - it's over
