HTC’s One M8 is widely regarded as the finest Android phone you can buy, and it just became the finest Windows Phone, too.

If you’re an HTC One M8 owner on Verizon, it seems your Android 4.4.3 upgrade is going to take a great deal longer than originally anticipated. A GPS issue has led to delays in the software’s rollout, but HTC expects Verizon users to begin receiving it by mid-September.
