...if it's too good to be then use a credit card so that you can have the option to initiate a chargeback if they don't come through :)

That would be great, I would be interested to know if they are in fact the xl or just an international version and how long it would be until they shipped.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] vioalas:
If this is another captivate fiasco....
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] fungflex:
I am going to swing by tomorrow at lunchtime and ask a handful of questions and take a look at their stock. They close early, so they are only open another 2 hours or so today.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] UMGixxer:
Seems weird especially since the old Vibrant or SGS is listed at $450
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] fungflex:
When I called it sounded more like that was a placeholder page for the phone until it arrived.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] chaosjh:
well...we'll see. i bought one. :P
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Skizzy034:
Lol everyone keeps pushing back their suspected announcement dates.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] NardVa:
The price is pretty low. I wonder if this was done to create traffic to the website.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] NardVa:
Take a walk inside the store and do some investigation.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] s.m.knipe:
Yeah, that's what happens when things don't pan out for the hopeful...

I still think it is Sunday, but am beginning to think they won't announce it until monday
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] vioalas:
As long as I can buy the device on Sunday, it doesn't matter to me when it's announced. But some warning would be nice....
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] expertzero1:
once the phone is released, time to cancel my poop stinky sprint service! finally i can use more than 1gb of data!
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] amswak:
I don't want any more announcement than an xda dev posted leak. Marketing leads to sell-out of inventory. Let them market it the following Monday all they want....after I have mine.

My money is on this Sunday.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] txmade:
Now take this for what it's worth. I called my local store and talked to the lady I always buy phones from, and she said she saw the " google rumors " and they still have not been told anything.

I asked have y'all got any training on the phone and she said " no" . I then told her about the screen shot, and she tried to say that was the Windows htc phone.

Now I know we know more than most of the store employees, but are they told to deny training ?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] onthezone:
The training is real, ive seen it in the systems at my work and i even talked to a manager at a store that didn't know anything about it nor did he know anything about the phone. The reps just don't know anything about what they do every day.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] ryanmfraser:
Ran into the same sort of thing at the corporate store down the street from where I work. I get all of my phones there. Asked almost everyone that works there and was met with stiff refusal of knowledge. One guy even said and I quote, "Even if I knew something, I couldn't & wouldn't tell you." Was very specific with what I was asking after following this thread for a while as well. Just met a brick wall almost.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] txmade:
I would rather them say I can't say anything, but why lie.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] farwish:
What???? I m dying for 1x T_T
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] vioalas:
Sadly, like onthezone said, there are a lot employees that probably have no idea what they're looking at. They just work at AT&T for the money, not the interest.

My cousin is a manager at a corporate store, she's been on a vacation. Gets back tomorrow so I'm going to ask her what she sees going on if we don't get an announcement.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Goobacks:
I asked my at&t rep that came in today, she said she just did her training on it yesterday but she said if she remembers correctly it won't be out until may. Now I really hope this isn't true as I'm wanting to pick one up obviously.

She also stated there will be 3 colors to the phone. A white one, black/Grey one, and like a gunmetal blue. She said she saw the blue one...
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] EGBTMagus:
We rarely ever do training that far ahead of a device launch. Also a lot of reps in my own store have yet to do the training. BTW There is no rule or requirement by AT&T to deny training or a devices release, there is a reason that AT&T does not disclose exact release details to us unless its public knowledge because some reps would leak it. (cough)

I will try to stop by my location tomorrow to see if my merchandising reset site has been updated.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] txmade:
So would they announce tomorrow if the One X is to be released Sunday. How do the stores find out, would it be in the reset instructions? I asked the rep about that and all she said was " no" she would no elaborate. Also would they do a pre order this close to Sunday if it is to be released, or is it first come first serve basis on launch day?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Goobacks:
See if you can find out anything about this unique 3rd colorway. Cause if it looks good I may get that one
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] onthezone:
If i remember correctly EGBTMagus already took the training and if there was a 3rd color or release date it would of be outted already, so i wouldn't take that rep serious.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Goobacks:
Eh worth a shot lol. She has been with the company for some time now... So who knows
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] vioalas:
I really doubt the three colors, just my two cents. We would've heard of that a long time ago. It probably has to do with the the fact that carriers called the grey two different names in europe. "Glamour gray" and "gunmetal gray".

And training early April for a May release? That's odd..
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] s.m.knipe:
Aren't the white, gray, and carbon blue the colors for the Note? Could she simply have been mistaken?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Goobacks:
No she knew what the note was as she brought me my demo unit today. Idk maybe she just thinks she saw something, but she said it was blue because AT&T wanted a unique color just for them. Again I don't truly believe her, it would just be cool if it's true
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] EGBTMagus:
Two colors, White and Grey.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] vioalas:
Thought so. Do you have any more information? Like if pre orders will be available once the phone is announced. And will AT&T make any special offers for those getting the phone on release? I know those questions might be too much..
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] amswak:
I got this from AT&T support today regarding pre-orders (and I am not fixing their grammar errors because it amuses me):

"At this time, we do not offering pre-orders for the HTC One X, there should be plenty of phones available for your to purchase. We only offer pre-orders on phones that we now that we have limited inventory."

Also, I dont believe any of the Galaxy devices (and very few of the iThings) were available for pre-order direct through AT&T.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] vioalas:
Thank you! And those grammar errors made me LOL. Do they outsource any of their customer support to countries that don't speak english?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] farwish:
Cool! I die T_T
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] fasttoyz22:
a good friend of mine is a at&t manager and he wont say much but said to have money for the phone this week. wouldn't say if it was for pre order or to buy it. o hope to buy it. :confused:
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] NardVa:
I think AT&T is gone release the phone with no marketing. Probably want hear a press release until the day before.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] s.m.knipe:
This seems to be their choice... and I think the press release info will come immediately after, so launch on Sunday (maybe even online only) and then announcement/media coverage on the first day of business afterwards- Monday...

---------- Post added at 08:03 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:42 AM ----------

Yeah my friend has been extremely tight-lipped too, but he has a lot on his hands (I don't envy his workload- managing three stores) so I really think he just hasn't stopped to look into it very much...
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] x3phyr:
Really keeping my fingers crossed for availability this sunday... but I'm starting to think that won't happen. still half the week left though guys..

You know what. I think it's gonna come out May 6, and if nothing else, I'll be pleasantly surprised if it comes out sooner than that. May 6th is the date in my head as of now.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] sschrupp:
ERGH... Really starting to get that itch to get rid of my Captivate. The suspense of this coming out and the thought that the Galaxy S3 will be revealed some time soon is just killing me!
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] farwish:
really? gonna come May 6????

OMG!!! I m dying!

T____T
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] UMGixxer:
I was gonna sell mine but last night for the first time ever, my speaker went out but i tapped on the back of it and it came back to life, so that kinda killed my thoughts of selling it, but in other news the One needs to hurry up and arrive before something worse happens to my ole handy dandy captivate :D
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] :
For what its worth just was at my local att store and asked the manager if he new anything about the one XL and he showed me a print out dated this morning that said store display 4-22 and launch date of 5-6. He didn't know exactly why it listed the display prior to the launch.

Sent from wherever I am!
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] x3phyr:
let's see if the AT&T reps we have in this thread come in and confirm this... I really wish it would be released before May 6, but so be it.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] shea-bird:
I always had a feeling that date was going to stick. With strong sales, or rather giveaways, of the 900, they probably don't want to interfere. Second, I would imagine they want to market this phone with some sort of good intentions. this is a major android flagship after all. SO...expecting the 6th of May...anything before then is a Bouns :D I graduate college May 12th, which coincides perfectly with the launch and will be a nice reason to gift the One X to myself :p
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] x3phyr:
I WANT IT NOW. YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND. lol
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] farwish:
I m dying for waiting...really
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] x3phyr:
really hope EGBTMagus goes and checks in and gives us some hard answers. Even if they're hard to swallow, they're answers nonetheless.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] david_ag:
Some people need to relax... its just a PHONE! April, May.. whenever its released.... its still a phone!!

Spend your energy and stress on something far more important.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] onthezone:
Who invited this guy? Lol
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] UMGixxer:

actually, they're conflicting....

http://www.bgr.com/2012/04/18/att-to-launch-htc-one-x-on-april-22nd-for-199-99/

Preorders will begin the 4/22, phone is available 05/06
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] blaine.hale:
It's like a bunch of 17 year olds waiting for a new game console up in here.

Even if you HAD a release date, you'd still have to wait until it's out. Give them a minute, they created a miracle of technology and science here.

Trust me, I've been lusting over this phone more than any model I have in my past...I would love to have one the day of release but speculating that release is such a moot point in the big picture.

Aren't we all just so privileged that our biggest worry is when a phone is coming out?

/buzzkill
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] fungflex:
Best part is they posted the press release still claiming the wrong date:

http://www.bgr.com/2012/04/18/att-to-launch-htc-one-x-on-april-22nd-for-199-99/#disqus_thread
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] amswak:
I do a good bit of business through my phone while I am away from the office. My Captivate bricked on me two weeks ago. I refuse to waste an upgrade on a phone that will be outdated as soon as the One X is released.

Taking all this together means not having a working phone is keeping me from spending energy on and stress on things far more important...so yes, it is just a phone, but I am anxious to get back to being able to work without being tied down to my computer.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] shea-bird:
It's Officially Official! Had a feeling this was the date...it was the date the best buy email stated as well...so goes to show that they must have known something!

either way...only 3 weeks :o
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] onthezone:
All we wanted was a release date and I'm sorry we upsetted you since we put a gun to your head to read this thread.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] jshahanii:
So, does this mean that bestbuy will also be getting it on May 6th which is the official release date. I have heard people say that bestbuy gets it later than AT&T or is this just sometimes? Only reason I ask is because I preordered mine at bestbuy 2 weeks ago.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] onthezone:
There also reporting 32gb, what a fail but would be awesome if it's true.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] americasteam:
Well, yes it is just a "phone". My "phone" is with me from the time I wake up untill I go to bed. This device has more impact on my day to day than anything else I use the entire day. Yes, I am excited for this release as well as others here. For many of us, any delay is a big deal. ;)
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] chaosjh:
only...

thank goodness for a date, but i'm stuck with a loner crapberry till then :(

come on the 6th!!

[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] JoeM01:
that's BGR ****ing up again. Even on HTC's website it's listed at 16gb. At a $199 pricepoint, they really can't put another 16gb in it.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] s.m.knipe:
wow... I step away from my desk/the internet for 2 hours and that's when the news comes, figures! Disappointing that I won't have a new toy/tool to play with this weekend, and that all the training and resets and other indicators misled us by so much, but now at least there is a light at the end of the tunnel...
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] jshahanii:
Also, BGR reported a 4.6" screen size in the article this morning. So three fails for them, 32GB? 4.6"? and 4/22/12 release? I like how they tried to go back and say "Pre-orders will begin on April 22nd, in line with an earlier report from BGR". No, that is not what you reported, you reported a press release in 1 to 2 days and a device release in 5 to 7 days. Wow...
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] UMGixxer:
like everyone else, im just finally happy that an official release date has been set, so now the countdown begins, only downside to this is that i suppose alot of people may opt to wait for the release of the SGS3 which is set to be shown on the 3rd.

---------- Post added at 10:52 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:50 AM ----------

Good news is that someone has already tore down the international version, so one may be able to put a bigger battery in there if needed, and who knows might be able to put a 32gb in there as well
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] vioalas:
Someone is definitely on the wrong website.

And well.... It's official guys, here's to two and a half more weeks with my pan tech crossover.

And good luck to everyone else on their spare phones, or broken phones. I hope we all make it, hahaha.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] NardVa:
Now that we have a date and contract price can we now get an off contract price.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] jrodsep:
My guess is $550 - $600 off contract.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] :
If you're buying it off contract, usually the cheapest place is Wal-Mart. I despise Wal-Mart with a passion, but merchandise is still merchandise and if you end us saving $30-80 then its worth it.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] vioalas:
Yeah 550 sounds right. The subsidies have been around 350 lately.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] randomnameftw:
I'm guessing it's going to be 550 off contract also. Can't wait

to preorder this thing.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] x3phyr:
Definitely putting my money down on this ASAP. Pretty upset with the May 6th deal, but hey, we've got an official date. That's something to be happy about.

it's hit and miss reviews. either a great buy or utter disappointment...that being said, i already ordered one. hopefully not by mistake, also hoping that it's not at&t's and comes with the htc branding that it shows...
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] shea-bird:
last I checked, their article from yesterday with the wrong information is still featured on their webpage...LMAO. BGR is awfullllll. mistakes happen, but when you need two hands to count them over a span of 2 days relating to one pretty clear cut topic, u know there is an issue.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] kreestof:
But a couple people mentioned they'd stop by the physical location to ask about the deal, I'm just wondering if anyone actually took the time to do so.

Not sure if I will be able to make it today though. One day this week for sure.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] david_ag:
I am happy we have a release date!

LOL'd hard at all comments from people who take this stuff way too seriously :)

Thanks to all who replied to my post.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] NardVa:
I would think the AT&T version is cheaper on the whole sale side. Im thinking AT&T gets these phones for 100.00 to 150.00 at most. Maybe somebody with inside info can chime in.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] x3phyr:
http://www.timeanddate.com/counters/...&sec=00&p0=830

There's the countdown form before. only 17 days guys. we can do it.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] vioalas:
So, since we know the release date this thread is kind of done... How about we start discussing cases and accessories? I want to know what everyone's getting! Colors too. We need something to distract us for the next 17 days ;)
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] sschrupp:
I think I might actually dig deep for some willpower to see what's announced for the Galaxy S3. Either it's going to be better or the same-ish. If it's same-ish then I'll just go ahead and do the One XL.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] redpoint73:
Highly unlikely. The cost of components of the SGIIS Skyrocket is $236, and the Lumia is $209 (described as being "inexpensive", with single core CPU, 512 MB RAM, lower resolution screen, etc). That's before you factor in the cost of design, software engineering, and profit that the manufacturer has to make.

http://www.latimes.com/business/technology/la-fi-tn-nokia-lumia-900-parts-cost-20120411,0,5880804.story

AT&T on the other hand, doesn't care about making money on selling hardware. When they sell the phones subsidized, its probably near cost, or even below cost. They do it to get you on contract, that's where they make their money. AT&T is in business to provide its service. The hardware is just a means to that end.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Stay Frosty:
So we'll know all of the SIII details before the One X releases. That's kind of a good thing. Instead of impulse buying the One X we can make an educated decision as to whether or not to wait for the SIII. And if the SIII is the hologram producing, money printing, time travel capable device that it's been hyped up to be, then maybe it'll be worth the wait.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] s.m.knipe:
I actually wouldn't be surprised if they get these for not far below the prices we see- even though bought in bulk- because the money is made back over the course of a contract (there are ETF's for a reason)- the $350 is is basically the amount AT&T is "loaning" you to buy the phone with. There's a couple of companies who tear down gadgets and report the cost of manufacture for them, so once we have that number I'd add HTC's profit ( a not perfect but good estimator of this would be to divide HTC's reported profit for Q1 by reported sales for Q1) and that plus shipping arrangements would be close to what AT&T pays for them. Data plans and Roaming are the cash cows for AT&T...

The One S is $599 off contract on T-Mobile so I'd have to assume the One X would be more expensive! That's higher than I expected.

[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] kreestof:
I am pretty sure I am going with the gray, but would really like some advice on skins or screen protectors. I've never had a phone with gorilla glass before, does it really need a protector or is it enough on its own?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] fungflex:
Don't worry what T-mobile is charging. AT&T's prices for non-iPhones are very transparent. If you look on their website, whatever the on contract price is + $350 is the price off contract.

This phone will be $550 and I would put money on that.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] x3phyr:
off contract prices are determined by (insert contract price)+350.

One X should be 550.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] JoeM01:
i have an atrix with gorilla glass. its very scratch resistant. However, I have a case that wraps around the front and adds a maybe 2-3mm lip to the phone. if its face down, it's never on the screen. in the event of a fall (on a flat surface), it will survive. I've actually proven that. unfortunately. on several occasions. lol

still, if the screen lands on the ground, it will break the glass. no question. gorilla glass is not impact proof.

take your pick. either way no one x with 32gb at $199.
