HTC just announced its latest flagship smartphone, the HTC One M8. All four major U.S. carriers are offering the handset, lets take a look at release and price details.

The HTC One M8 is a worthy successor to last year's HTC One. If you're wondering why the "M8" is in its name, it's the codename HTC used for this model and has decided to include it in the handset's official name. The original HTC One was codenamed "M7" in case you were wondering.

HTC deserves props on how it handled the smartphone's official introduction on March 25 and coordinated with some of its carrier partners to begin selling the smartphone immediately after the smartphone's introduction. AT&T, Verizon, Sprint, and T-Mobile are all offering the 32GB HTC One M8.

Verizon has announced that it is now selling the HTC One M8 online and in its retail stores. The smartphone will cost $199.99 when signing a new 2-year contract with the carrier. It's offering the HTC One M8 for $25.22 per month on its Verizon EDGE plan and $599.99 outright without signing a contract. Verizon is also offering a "Buy One Get One Free" promotion until March 31.

AT&T is selling the HTC One M8 through its online store and retail stores. The carrier is charging $199.99 when signing a new 2-year contract with AT&T.

Sprint is currently offering the HTC One M8 online only and says that retail stores will begin stocking the smartphone beginning in early April. Sprint has the HTC One M8 priced at $199.99 when signing a new 2-year contract and is also offering qualified customers who sign up for Sprint Easy Pay and Family the HTC One M8 for $0 down and 24 monthly payments of $27.09.

T-Mobile has confirmed it will carry the HTC One M8 and says that the smartphone will be available to purchase online and in retail stores beginning April 11, which just happens to be the same day Samsung's Galaxy S5 goes on sale. T-Mobile is charging $0 down and 24 monthly payments of $26.50.
