A month ago, a reporter for The Verge confirmed that a Windows Phone version of HTC’s Android flagship phone, the One M8 was in the works.
Now, the company has officially unveiled the HTC One M8 Windows Phone.
But it’s not all good news though, the phone is available exclusively via the U.S Carrier Verizon.
The phone will have all the Windows Phone goodies such as the voice assistant Cortana, Action Center, and Live Tiles. It also includes a new feature called Apps Corner, which sandboxes apps and folders in a protected area of the phone.
HTC has also promised timely OS updates for the phone.
