I’ve been recommending the HTC One M8 to friends since the day I unboxed mine. If you’ve been thinking about getting one yourself, then today’s the day to pull out your credit card and save $100. For one day only, HTC has reduced the price of its latest flagship to just $99 when you take out a new two-year contract.

The One M8 has everything you want from a flagship smartphone. It has a 5-inch 1080p display, the latest Snapdragon 801 processor, 2GB of RAM, and 16GB of internal storage that can be expanded with a microSD card.

It also boasts headline HTC features, including two tremendous BoomSound speakers — the best speakers you’ll find on a smartphone — and the Duo Camera, with combines a 5-megapixel sensor with HTC’s 4-megapixel UltraPixel camera to capture depth information and provide some super nifty focusing effects.

Then there’s the latest Android 4.4.2 KitKat software with Sense 6, and of course, a stunning aluminum form factor that’s unmatched by any of its rivals. It’s no surprise to us that the One M8 is helping change HTC’s financial fortunes for the better.

We’d have no reservations about recommending this handset at its regular price of $199, so we don’t think you should pass up the chance to get it for 50% off. But you can’t wait around, because this is a one-day thing that finishes at 11:59 p.m. (Central) tonight.
