So if you've already chosen your next device, and decided it will be the HTC ONE M8, the next step will likely be to buy it. Haredim10 presents a special review of the many options for buying the new device.
If you want to buy it in Israel with a warranty and all that, you'll have to order it from the importer - Touch Group, and part with 3600 new shekels. You'll receive the device within seven business days. However, Touch Group is known for poor customer service, especially in cases requiring laboratory intervention - this convenience may cost you dearly.
If technology is not your area of expertise, it is not recommended to buy from private importers. Many models of devices are not compatible with the transmission frequencies of some of the existing networks in Israel. Don't bother with it.

If you have a cousin, neighbor, friend, or brother-in-law who is willing to bring you one of these from abroad, pay close attention to the rules:
• It is highly recommended not to buy in the United States, certainly not from the cellular companies, but also not from the company's website or from Google - in the 'Google Play' version. This is because these models are not compatible with the transmission frequencies of some of the existing networks in Israel, which will cause in some cases no reception, and in others the speed of Internet browsing to decrease. Even in the third generation, the browsing speed will be about half that of the European model, and in the future fourth generation frequencies, support will not be possible at all.
Price in the United States: 700$ on the company website.
• The Asian devices are distinguished by universal support for all existing frequencies. But although the processor frequency in these devices is slightly higher (2.5GHz instead of 2.3GHz), it is reported that the European model is actually faster.
Price in the East: Slightly higher than the United States, but still cheaper than in the country (for example in Taiwan: 720$).
• The European model is compatible with the configuration of the Israeli networks in the second and third generation, but the future fourth generation frequencies will be supported by most companies, but not fully supported by Golan Telecom and Hot Mobile, so if you are a subscriber to these companies and fourth generation support is important to you, you should consider purchasing the Asian model.
Price in Europe: About €600 or about £450 in England.
However, you should know that for each model there are two types of devices, unlocked and developer. For most users, the unlocked model is recommended, as purchasing this model will give you an additional 50GB of storage on Google Drive for two years.
If you intend to hack your device in the future and replace the operating system - prefer the developer, since the unlocked device loses responsibility for performing such an action.
