HTC One M9’s launch in Taiwan is delayed to receive ‘latest’ software version

HTC’s latest flagship, the One M9, was scheduled to make its debut in Taiwan today, but apparently the launch has been delayed according to an email sent to CNA that said the Taiwanese manufacturer was busy working on the latest version of software for the device. 

So when is the HTC One M9 (why is it called the One M9?) actually going to make its debut in its home country? According to HTC, the phone will be made available as soon as possible, while people who had pre-ordered the handset have said (on the Mobile01 social networking site) that shipments of the 32GB HTC One M9 were postponed until March 20th. Other would-be buyers have mentioned that the delay could span anything from a few days to a couple of weeks, with the 64GB version allegedly being delayed until the end of March.

The alleged cause of the delay is down to software issues that could lead to boot failure, at least according to another post on Mobile01. Whatever the reason is for the delay, you can understand why HTC being more willing to slightly antagonize customers by delaying the launch and not suffer the fall-out of batch of bricked phones. There is also a chance that the delay could be so the HTC One M9 will launch with Android 5.1 out of the box, but that’s just a wild notion of mine that should be taken with a sack of salt.
