After a short delay, the HTC One M9 is finally launching on March 21 (in Taiwan)

HTC wanted to release its One M9 flagship smartphone on March 16 in Taiwan, but a software bug forced the company to postpone the launch. Thankfully, the issue has been addressed, and HTC is now ready to start selling the M9 beginning March 21. Thus, Taiwan (HTC's home country) will become the first market to get the new One.

Only the One M9 32 GB will be available starting March 21 (for around $693), while the 64 GB model should be released on March 27 (costing about $756). After Taiwan, the HTC One M9 will be launched in many other markets around the world. The handset will arrive in the US on April 10, and all major carriers are going to sell it.

While it doesn't look too different from the One M8 (at least not when viewed from the front), the HTC One M9 comes with significant improvements over the old flagship, including a 20 MP rear camera, Qualcomm's octa-core Snapdragon 810 processor, and a 2840 mAh battery.
