HTC Says Lollipop Rollout Going Slower Than Hoped
With HTC
announcing a One M9 device in March, it honestly does not even matter when Lollipop update will complete as M9 will have it out of the box. Many M7 and M8 owners will be looking to upgrade.
However, I'd rather wait and have HTC and carriers do the roll-out correctly rather than quickly.

Remember just a few years ago HTC was the leader in upgrading software, and Samsung was the slowest, the tables turned, and now Samsung and LG are the fastest, and HTC makes promises it knew it couldnt keep.

The average user is upgrading their phone every two years at best (unless they break it first.) That's why upgrades within the first two years of a product are important.

Fool me twice, shame on me
I would be waiting for this update if HTC hadn't screwed all the Droid Incredible II users out of ICS. That is when I stopped buying HTC. Samsung was great with the S3 and S4! I could not have been happier with my Samsung experience. Now the wife and I carry the OnePlus One. Even though it looks like they will also miss this 90 day window, Cyanogen is far superior to Sense.
Cyanogen is being bought by Microsoft, so I wouldn't expect those updates to last too much longer, and One Plus using a different UI soon.

Except that if the phone stops working for whatever reason support for the OnePlus One is nearly none existant. And the upgrade for the HTC (m7) was within the 90 days and both HTC ONE's have been far superior to the Samsung Galaxy s4 and s5.
