HTC One M8 with Windows Phone to hit more carriers "later this year"

The HTC One M8 running Windows Phone, launched today as a Verizon exclusive in the US, will be released by more networks "later this year", reports The Next Web.

“Verizon is our exclusive launch partner,” Jason Mackenzie, President of HTC Americas, told me. “But our goal is to ultimately extend this product to even more customers later this year.”

The important word in that quote is "goal", which leaves any future plans wide open.

But we read into it that HTC wants a worldwide rollout for the device in time for Christmas, which would mean launches in other countries and other carriers by November.

Lets hope so.
