Well, mainly because of their snafu on just the pre-orders alone. Here was my experience (in terms of events):

1) Pre-order just after 7am PST when it showed up on the HTC page

2) A few hours later receive coupon email and try to get order changed (first screw-up on their part)

3) First rep tells me to try back Monday because he isn't sure about that coupon (lol, seriously?)

4) Call back and second rep tells me I have to cancel old order, make a new one... so I do that (both calls were 30 minutes on hold)

5) Coupon didn't add free shipping so I call them to get it added... they do standard instead.

6) Earlier this week it goes from available to backordered and dates keep shifting

7) Email Letstalk.com to get my order fixed to overnight, not standard... no response so I tried chat... can't find it... had to email them directly from my order email instead.

And now dates keep shifting from 18th to 24th to 18th again. I have no faith in Letstalk.com or HTC to execute this properly much less maintain the original queue line of orders. I'd bet some people who ordered Monday will get it immediately and some who ordered first thing Friday will be waiting. It'll happen. Prepare your anus.

Hey! It'd be great if you can send me your code as i intend on using it today!

Going to preorder in a few hours, if anyone has an online code that theyre not using and could please PM it to me, i'd really appriciate it :D

Bro it's sold out. Stop ****ing begging for codes you can't even use.
[One (M7) General] nullkill:
Wow blind leading the blind...

So you have had experience with this company in the past? You have preordered from them in the past? Well I used this thingy here that I'm talking to you on and did some research. OMG!!!! Guess what this is nothing new. They have never had a good preorder system and everyone who has pre ordered in the past has had similar things happen but the phone does ship on the date specified (not the wildly changing one but the one you were told on the page you ordered). They defiantly do not have a great system to handle preorders but they have never had a problem in the past meeting their deadlines. So to put it nice unless you have something factual besides belly aching please keep your physic premonitions to your self :cyclops:
[One (M7) General] NextNexus:
The % of dev units sold compared to subsidized carrier sales is probably under 5%. Just b/c there are a lot of us on XDA who purchased the dev edition, doesn't mean its going to be a large sales number when you put it in perspective. We're a

very

small minority.
[One (M7) General] jackdforme:
You are more than likely incorrect. I work for an E-Comm. Systems like AS400 based EDI and OMS require fields to be mapped. Hence dates that are wrong or are moved. As for pick/pack it will happen when stock arrives, is entered and then shelved. Once shelved, it will begin. More than likely all will arrive the 17th and ship the 18th. As for call center reps, they usually use other third party systems with weak integrations. Those system may tell them other information or their trainers or even the business may either no tell them or tell them wrong information. They also aren't exactly a crack team of industry experts BTW. I don't blame them, decisive thinking and investigations are outside of their pay scale. As for the wait, you were told the 18th, was the ship date. When that passes and the device is not in your hand on the shipping method you chose time line, then be upset. Until that occurs, I would sit back enjoy the wait before you start the short timer on I'm tired with this one and looking to buy the next. The wait is half the fun.

shopamerica.htc.com/cell-phones/productdetail.htm?prId=41599

... btw my online order also went on the 18th i am sure i will get mine even though i placed my order when the htc website side out of stock. letstalk said they would make sure all that placed an order they will go out.

---------- Post added at 04:35 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:30 PM ----------

btw the reason the htc website says out of stock is because it really is not in stock if you click on the actually order website at the link i provide above where it says out of stock it says this

[One (M7) General] MonDan86:
I sincerely hope that everybody who placed a preorder gets them shipped on 18th... However i would not place much credence in the words of LetsTalk as they would not be in control of the actual count of the phones given to them for shipping. If the htc site shows Out of Stock, it means they have run out of the orders they could take and fulfill prior to the 19th April... any orders after the out of stock notice would be taken and fulfilled as and when new stock comes in..

having said that, i really hope everybody gets their device on 19th or even before... it is extremely difficult to even wait for 7 more days now... :):)
[One (M7) General] droidiac13:
I just got done with Let's Talk. I am being told that they changed the date back to the original date of the 18th because they "we don't have a firm ETA on when we will receive the product from HTC."

I told them they should just quit changing the dates until they do have a firm ETA!

I just now got this from them:

"At this time, I would assume the date would probably change, but we could be lucky. I have actually asked them to stop sending emails to all of our customers until we receive a firm date, so you don’t have to have disappoint of seeing the date change. We do know everyone is very excited about receiving this new product so please just bare with us.

Thank you for your patience."
[One (M7) General] tianhuang:
thanks a lot ,but i am still confusing . You mean i do not need to make a call to lets talk?Just click the website you gived me and buy what i need? you also order it on the website? i am new here and know nothing ,thanks for helping me
[One (M7) General] lensgrabber:
I wonder how many of the Dev's have been pre-ordered. The site is showing out of stock for the unlocked versions.
[One (M7) General] plutodc:
yes just to to the website there is a order button on the side just click on it and then you can pick any extras you might want to come when you order the phone and the next website is the final order window just input what shipping speed you want and then click proceed to checkout and then you would input your info in that website

I've never received an email regarding an update on shipping. I just have a person I communicate with over there.
[One (M7) General] slugbug2010:
I am wondering if HTC will honor the $100 rebate if purchased a little after the April 30th date shown in the March email I received. Of course we can't know for sure, but considering that's only about a 10 day window to purchase a phone with such high demand, I imagine there will supply/demand issues for those that did not pre-order. The $100 rebate thing doesn't say we have to pre-order the phone, just purchase it. It would be nice if they would do something more along the lines of "if purchased within 30 days of release date".

One can hope......
[One (M7) General] Wasuhz:
Just got my HTC Media Link in from At&t

My local store originally did not add this to my order so I went back and asked them if they could add it and the shipped it separately and it just came in. I'll probably use it here and there but what I really like is that it came with all the cables and a charger, so i'll be able to use this charger for my phone because its the exact same charger and wont rapid charge to conserve battery in the long run.
[One (M7) General] theledman:
HTC finally got back to me:

So in other words, no. This is basically a trade-in program for the silver One unless the black one comes out before the end of the month
[One (M7) General] grandpanda:

[One (M7) General] DJayRage:
You need to give them the IMEI of your new phone, and the $100 rebate depends on the value of the unit you send in. I was planning on sending my Atrix 4G but all they are giving me for that is $27. Go here to see what they consider the value of your phone to be:

http://www.htctradeup.com/
[One (M7) General] htowngator:
I thought it said "at least" as in you will get $100 no matter what and possibly more if your phone is worth more.
[One (M7) General] PapaRhino:
Yeah what the **** is this? I'm really upset right now.
[One (M7) General] DJayRage:
It does say "at least" but then on the bottom of that same email it says "Your visa card will be worth at least $100, or the trade-in value of your old phone if it's worth more than $100". So you'll get at least $100, if your phone is worth that much.
[One (M7) General] pkinetics:
If you did the registration for the trade up prior to April 5th, any smart phone qualified at a minimum of $100. Any thing after that is based on the crazy calculator thing

The trade up program will have assigned you a personal identification number that they will probably use to associate your trade up with the rebate amount.
[One (M7) General] Wasuhz:
You guys realize this system is setup so they can resale

Do you guys not realize that you will get more money on ebay ...craigslist etc.. The point of this program is not necessarily to help you, they still make money off of your product. They resale your product and make a small profit. That small profit they make you could easily go on ebay and sell this phone yourself.

The idea is that you can get some money for your old products, they are not going to give you as much as its worth or more...
[One (M7) General] :
Some people have crap phones like old inspire 4g that isn't gonna get anywhere near a hundred bucks. believe me I've tried.
[One (M7) General] PapaRhino:
Thank god, for a minute I didn't think I was going to get at least $100 for my Evo 4G...good thing I got my registration code on Feb 26th! ^_^

Still going to try and get $120 for it on CL >_>
[One (M7) General] htowngator:
It's obviously only worthwhile if you have a relic that isn't worth spit.

[One (M7) General] Wasuhz:

UHHH Okay...so how much does HTC offer you? They offer 33$ from the website i just went to for that phone ...so again whats the point?
[One (M7) General] htowngator:
You don't get it.

Your minimum is $100 no matter what.
[One (M7) General] mang0:
Yeah, if you pre-registered for HTC's $100 cash back trade-in offer for purchasing a One, then any phone on the list will get you a $100 (or more) visa prepaid card.
[One (M7) General] raptoro07:
Yes, although I preregistered the Day HTC sent me an email with that offer. I went just now and entered the code from the confirmation email they sent me after registering and it says that you have to claim it by 30 days and it's been more than 30 days and therefore I am no longer eligible. Anyone else see this?
[One (M7) General] mang0:
Oh dang that's dirty. I've already entered the code and gotten the confirmation email to save my trade-in info, so I didn't run into that problem.
[One (M7) General] raptoro07:
Oh well. I think I can get a little more than that for my EVO 3D anyway. :)
[One (M7) General] dametzg:
Do I have to preorder through HTC for the tradeup offer or can I get the phone from anywhere? I just noticed on the email they sent with my saved information that it says my next step is to preorder a One with a link to their preorder site. I preordered my phone from Best Buy thinking it doesn't matter where I buy it from.
[One (M7) General] :
No it shouldn't matter. You just have to send them proof of purchase, but you can buy from anywhere i believe.

---------- Post added at 09:38 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:37 PM ----------

Since i signed up for the preorder back in february, I get $100 minimum for sending in a device.

Ya, well, I paid $650 for the developer edition and $450 for an early upgrade at AT&T so I don't want to hear this stuff! LOL
[One (M7) General] Pr20:
I went to their website at the time of their offer and registered. I did get an email but it was about their early fan offer of free shipping and case when I preorder. I didn't preorder. I didn't get any email about the trade in offer. I just assumed when I buy the t mobile HTC one once it's released I will get 100$ for the old HTC sensation I have as I registered.

Can anybody clarify?
[One (M7) General] MrTeddyChills:
Thats very unfortunate. I guess ten bucks isnt really too bad huh? lol
[One (M7) General] droidiac13:
That's my thought. LOL
[One (M7) General] bosotros:
I just looked at my trade-in email and it says I have to complete the trade in by April 8.

I assumed I would need the new phone before I sent in the paperwork and the old phone.

I'm sure HTC will extend the due date... (are you listening htc?)
[One (M7) General] totomafang:
Check the HTC One® Upgrade Promotion Terms of Use

I'm a newbie here, so i can't post links. Google "HTC One® Upgrade Promotion Terms of Use"

You should've received an email with personal ID ans saved info along with step-by-step instructions. Basically registered the program(before 4/05) with the eligible used device you will turn in, then after purchasing the New HTC One(before 4/30), you send in the proof of purchase of the new htc one along with your used device by 05/31.

Then wait for your visa prepaid card $100 in about 3~5 weeks.

I was worried and actually asked HTC USA from Facebook about the tricky parts that some other people questioned about the need of having

the proof of purchase of your old phone and reactivate your old phone when you purchase the new htc one.

Here is HTC USA's reply :

"HTC USA Hi, xxxxxx. Sorry for the confusion. You do not need proof of purchase for the device you intend to turn in. The proof of purchase is for the device you pre-ordered and is only needed to get your cash back for the trade-in. The time of purchase is just the date you pre-ordered the One online. As long as the phone you turn in is in working condition, aka "active", you should be all set! Please let us know if you have any further questions."

So as long as you registered before 4/05 and received an email with saved info(the phone you chose to turn in), and purchase the new HTC One before 4/31, send in your old phone with proof of purchase of new htc one, you will be fine! (I sent out 3 emails to HTC.com general customer service, HTC trade up program customer service, and HTC USA facebook asking these, only HTC USA facebook gave me clear and confimed answer)

Hope it helps!!! I'm waiting for my Developer Edition coming on the 18th.......6 more days.....
[One (M7) General] mang0:
After you pre-registered on the site, you should have received a "Thank you for registering" email with your pre-registration code that you can enter onto the website along with your old device information. If you didn't receive this email (check your spam folder!) then it's basically the same as not having pre-registered. You will NEED this code to be able to access the HTC One's early registration trade-in offer.

I pre-ordered the developer edition to use on T-Mobile.

I remember reading somewhere that T-Mobile had re-purposed 95% of it's HSPA+ network to 1900Mhz (which the developer edition supports). I already know my area (Boston) is on the 1900Mhz band.

[One (M7) General] Joshnor713:
This situation is starting to piss me off. People have already waited a month for this delay to blow over, and now I have to wait for T-MO to solve whatever problem they're having!? Total fail and shaft to T-MO customers, and worse the longer they stay quiet about it.

Worse thing is I'm currently on Sprint (who's getting it soon) but planned to leave for T-MO. They're def not making a good first impression.
[One (M7) General] expertzero1:
its edge or 3g speeds,

you have to be in a refarmed 1900 freq market for hspa +
[One (M7) General] Nyxagamemnon:
The dev edition is the same hardware as tmobile just diffrent bands enabled. It should be dc hspa+ but might require a t mobile radio flash to activate and at the same time enabling 1700 band on the gsm side.
[One (M7) General] anit77:
The trade in offer has been extended for almost 4 weeks. You still have to register your email by 3/22, If they haven't cut it off before then.

This makes me think that the best we can hope for is the 29th. That date gives customers exactly 4 weeks to buy & activate

If it is the 29th then I'd expect to see pre-orders to be available Monday or Tuesday. Roughly 10 days before launch, just like the BB Z10.
[One (M7) General] jskup:
If they wait too long, then you start getting into the return window for devices and the Samsung Galaxy S4 release. I don't think that's the position that HTC wants to be in. At least at Sprint, this is a 14 day policy. I would be very surprised that if they could help it they would try to avoid letting people second guess themselves when Samsung's latest comes out.

Personally, I'm looking for a very specific feature set (Quad band GSM, Removable SIM card, on Sprint) for any of these new devices. HTC has me hoping.

[One (M7) General] sabre31:
If they don't release this phone this month in US then they are dead on arrival. HTC screwed themselves yet again by not having phones ready for sale soon after announcement. Not sure why these companies other then apple and now Samsung can't get their crap together. Don't announce a product unless you are ready to roll them out and build. With the delay in US Samsung will eat HTC's lunch and everybody will get sgs4. I want the HTC one.

It was titled US instead of Cdma, if the att, t mobile and international roms/themes/mods are compatible then there is no need for carrier specific sub forums for those carriers.

Ain't that the truth. Samsung's phones just aren't sexy at all. I've always wondered why they are so popular. This explains it. They do make awesome TV's though...
