Today in the grandest city of them all, New York City, HTC showed us all its new Windows Phone, the HTC One M8 For Windows Phone! From Customizing your own home screen, to linking with your Xbox One, this phone looks killer. Now this is not a new phone that you haven’t seen, it actually came out earlier this year running the latest and greatest of Android OS. But for those of us who don’t really like the Android OS, and are more used to our Windows 8.1 PC and XboxOne consloe, the?HTC One M8 For Windows will perfectly sync with everything.
From the great aluminum design, to the use of Microsoft’s live tiles to the Epic Audio, HTC Boomsound, the?HTC One M8 For Windows Phone brings it. Cortana is Microsoft’s answer for Siri, and is faster and smarter, and able to help you with anything from finding a restaurant to scheduling your whole life. Which is great if ?you are a busy person, like a lawyer or restaurant owner who is always on the go, and having a reliable personal assistant in your pocket comes in handy.
My favorite part of the HTC One M8 for Windows Phone is how easily it syncs with my XboxOne which already syncs with my entire home. I no longer have to worry where my kids put the remote, or get up off the couch to turn off the lights or fix my thermostat (I have fully integrated my home with my XboxOne) now my phone will do it all for me. My entire home in the palm of my hand. This is the future we were told about when watching cartoons as kids, and now it’s easier.
Price-point for this phone is set at $99.99 with a 2 year contract and is available through Verizon Wireless only. As always if you would like some help syncing your new HTC One M8 for Windows Phone with your PC at home or at work, Computer Geeks is a full service residential and business IT service that can help you do it all!
