The HTC One (M8) was announced a few hours ago and we’ve already spoken about its features in length. From the early reports, it’s quite clear that HTC has a winner on its hands. And customers in the U.S. are lucky enough to be able to snatch up the handset from Verizon Wireless. The carrier has now announced another incentive if you’re looking to get the device.

Customers who buy the new HTC One from Verizon Wireless will receive another unit for free of cost. This offer is applicable only for customers who sign a two year contract. Users can make the smartphone theirs through the carrier for $199.99.

So if you’re planning to head over to the Verizon store to check out and probably buy the new HTC One, make sure you take a family member or a friend along with you.

This is quite a remarkable deal, especially considering that it’s a new handset. We’re not sure how long this deal will last though, so it makes sense to benefit from it while you still can.

So who’s getting one of these today?
