How does an ugly phone, in body and ui, provide more value? lol.

By all means, go for the g4, one less person I have to battle for a preorder. :cool:
[One (M7) General] valleng:
Software features outmatch sense. Look at the note 2
[One (M7) General] Pointlol:
For some it's considered features, for others it's bloat. Personally I fall in the latter category

If you indeed do use all those features and value them, go for it
[One (M7) General] valleng:
Truthfully that air waving gesture bs would be disabled day 1. I'm talking about things like quick toggles in the notification bar (there's a whole thread of people requesting this for the sense 4.2 update. )
[One (M7) General] Pointlol:
This is where XDA comes in for me, team venom in particular delivers more features than I'd ever wish for :p
[One (M7) General] reddragon72:
I noticed that there are still some doubts about a march release in the US.

I am still thinking positive. The carriers will get small shipments to start out and keep getting them on a weekly/biweekly basis. This was done for many phones that were having difficulty making the launch date. I think between the Blackberry device launching tomorrow and the amount of stock all the US carriers are simply waiting but probably have some stock already setting in a warehouse.

This is of course all speculation, but between Marrill lynch, T-Mobiles rebate and HTC's rebate pre-reg stopping on the 22nd, I feel that we are in for something either tomorrow or the weekend/Monday.
[One (M7) General] rank78:
You're going to have to do better than toggles for the g4 to be the better phone. Here's a tip, list the touchwiz g4 specific features that put sense 5 to shame. I have a free toggle app I can customize on my Evo LTE, no need to buy an ugly plastic phone for that.
[One (M7) General] fernando sor:
I hope people do get impatient and get the s4. Better odds for the rest of us getting the one on launch.

Ok fine. Nothing permanent and forced unlike blink feed. Things like split screen apps and pop up player.

HTC One X just dropped to .99 on AT&T.

http://www.att.com/shop/wireless/devices/htc/one-x-white1.html#fbid=N25srQ_JlvO

Let's hope this means the One is around the corner
[One (M7) General] PapaRhino:
Yesss, they did this before the delay too, looks like that the sign for them to gear up.
[One (M7) General] yokken:
yusssssssssss

C'MONNN BABY! I'm so stoked! It's too bad I have to buy this puppy off-contract but a Black 64GB will be mine! :laugh:
[One (M7) General] Ranger302:
The One X+ is still $199.99 on contract.
[One (M7) General] valleng:
I think it was 99 cents for awhile
[One (M7) General] yokken:
The One X+ was $99, the One X is now $0.99. My wallet is getting warm..... this money is starting to burn...
[One (M7) General] Ranger302:
I'm not seeing the One X+ for $99.
[One (M7) General] HushH:
It was a week or two ago. It's not anymore.
[One (M7) General] sabrdawg:
My bday is the 30th. All I want is to be holding that One in the palm of my hand by then. Come on, HTC!!! :D
[One (M7) General] JesseMT4G:
I am not stressing over this anymore. I have a great phone in the s3, ugly plastic or not it is a beast of a phone and easily trumps on HTC phone functionality wise.

Only reason I want the One is due to LCD, front facing stereo speakers and build quality.

Besides that my s3 suites me just fine. I don't use touchwiz, rather Nova Prime. If not for my stepdaughters windows phone taking a crap, probably wouldn't gander at any phone right now.

I honestly don't get why so many people hate Samsung. They make an awesome phone. Touchwiz I can understand, but nothing a launcher can't fix.

Same if you can't stand blinkfeed on sense 5, just install a different launcher. I am sure with 2G of ram It will run fine.

Again, done worrying about this and will pick one up when it hits stores, rather this weekend or next month.

Yup I see it as .99 cents as well, so they will probably keep it at that price for a week then release the one ? That's what I'm thinking

[One (M7) General] snorkle:
wait this cant be true..
[One (M7) General] encrypshun:
How much is "enough". Prices right now are all over the place, unless one of the U.S. carriers releases it under contract for $199 or $299, it's going to be outrageously expensive to buy an unlocked international device states-side.
[One (M7) General] droidiac13:
The 64gb developer edition that is coming to the US is set at $649. I don't think that's bad at all for an off contract price.
[One (M7) General] twizller:
Really hope that is true. Got my fingers crossed for a Canadian release this tomorrow or over the weekend.
[One (M7) General] droidiac13:
Wouldn't that be crazy if it were true?
[One (M7) General] Wasuhz:
Complete BS

Lol, thiscannot be true, I just left AT&T and they literally have no clue when it will become available, this article was written to create hits to its page...I am surely certain that a Carrier would know the day before if a product was arriving at its location.
[One (M7) General] NextNexus:
LOL that would be pretty ridiculous but I HIGHLY doubt it.
[One (M7) General] phatty033:
nnmm;;;m;;
[One (M7) General] sassij:
They won't.

Usually carriers won't say a word unless an official word has been announced.

On the other hand, I doubt AT&T is releasing the One with the Z10. They will give the Z10 a week or two on the shelves without any serious competition.
[One (M7) General] droidiac13:
I doubt it too, but it provides for some good conversation. As far as whether or not an AT&T store would have any idea the day before, I don't put any stock into what the people that work behind the counters say. Most of them don't have a clue until it's sitting right in front of their eyes. When I was looking for an LG Optimus, after the release, they had NO idea what I was talking about. This was at two separate corporate stores.
[One (M7) General] maerlim:
Carriers don't release phones without an announcement. Especially not flagship phones.
[One (M7) General] valleng:
The Z10 already has competition. They are targeting different people. If someone considered a note 2 the z10 launch probably wouldn't change their mind. So a new android flagship probably wouldn't either.
[One (M7) General] bosotros:
This would be exactly what the timeline was rumored to be all along. AT&T was rumored to be planning their release on March 24 because they release new phones on Sundays, otherwise the US release was expected on the 22nd. So, patience?

I hope it's true but I doubt those of us who want a 64GB Black version will be getting ours this month.
[One (M7) General] valleng:
I'll get whatever version they have lol if it's pink so be it
[One (M7) General] Wasuhz:
I want it as bad as all you...but lets think logically

Don't you think they would at least had a pre-order page up if it was going to be released tomorrow?
[One (M7) General] droidiac13:
They didn't for the LG Optimus G... Also, I just got off the phone with HTC (Dennis) and he guaranteed to me that the phone is coming out by the end of this month. He is now the second person at HTC I have spoken with that has stated this to me. Who knows though...
[One (M7) General] Wasuhz:
It may come out this month

It may come out this month, but I am thinking more of probably the 29th.
[One (M7) General] valleng:
Oh how I hope your right ! Ill take the the weekend of the 29th-30th
[One (M7) General] bosotros:
I think the release will be simultaneous with all the carriers, and Best Buy. I can't imagine any of the big players letting one of them get a few days of orders before the others start selling.

I'm now switching to the *refresh the website every few minutes* mode LOL.

Could be a long weekend.

Re: NEW HTC ONE

Timbx,

The only info we have is 2nd Q of 2013. They were specific due to the fact they might need to push it back. This just means we are going to make sure the device is 110% at launch. We really do appreciate your patience on this. It wont be much longer.

[One (M7) General] valleng:
Bull**** ! 110% lmao the phone is finished.Sites already have retail versions ! Mid april is unacceptable, would be a MAJOR fail.
[One (M7) General] reddragon72:
I just had an HTC guy tell me Q2 of 2013 30 min ago LOL And to add one min later that sprint guy two posts up posted the same thing I had just heard.

And now there is a single site saying its a go for tomorrow and now ATT is taking pre-orders in store!!!

So confused!!!!!
[One (M7) General] valleng:
And other HTC guys saying it'll be out by the end of the month with a guarantee.
[One (M7) General] Wasuhz:
Pre-Orders start tomorrow I believe

Honestly, I believe Pre-Orders start tomorrow not the actual phone.
[One (M7) General] valleng:
If either is true thats good news. But with this botchfest of a launch, I doubt it.
[One (M7) General] valleng:
Ive never seen so much confusion about ANYTHING coming out yet alone a phone. Terrible handling by HTC, US carriers, etc. Cant make a solidified statement to stop crazy people like us going crazy ?!
[One (M7) General] Joshnor713:
They should just start selling whatever inventory they have. Just get it out the door! It would be silly to wait til they have 100% of what they think they'll need.

[One (M7) General] xanmanz31:
possible that those stores doing "pre orders" are really just doing a pre order of their own not an official pre order. i know at my store ill make a waiting list for new phone launches.
[One (M7) General] droidiac13:
Nail on the head! The store I go to, just told me that they are expecting pre-orders to begin late next week.
[One (M7) General] stroker507:
I pre-ordered a week ago from ebay for 749.99, and the ebay seller told me that will deliver the phone at the end of march,

anyways i saw 3 phones ready to deliver for 1249.00 today and were gone in few hours..
[One (M7) General] valleng:
Thats just not worth it. Get 2 Ones lol
[One (M7) General] bosotros:
My local store said to try Monday for a pre-order.

Gonna stop by there later today to see if I can get on a list or something.

pre-pre-order...
[One (M7) General] fix-this!:
Its not like this phone will sell out.
[One (M7) General] bosotros:
I expect it will. The local store even said as much. She said they're getting a bunch of phones but the interest has been so high they don't expect them to last long.
[One (M7) General] gsmumbo:
It depends. If there really is a shortage and each store gets only 2, it takes almost nothing for it to "sell out". Doesn't mean there's crazy demand, just low supply.
[One (M7) General] snorkle:
i highly doubt there is going ot be a pre order. The One is simply not as hyped as everyone thinks. Alot of the popel who want the phone as badly as we do is us. Think about it, a lot of people are going to wait for the s4 to come out, but we already know what we want. The phone isnt going to be as big as people think, its going to sell well but not that much for a pre order.
[One (M7) General] toad6386:
This dude I know has got a cousin who has a friend of a brother's sister's mother who told me it's OK to smile and laugh and relax and stop getting stressed over a PHONE!!! (an AWESOME phone, yeah, but still a PHONE!) :victory:

First, were the rumors.... We were like :fingers-crossed:. Then the announcement. We were like :D. Then rumors of the delay :mad:, much speculation :silly:, worry :(, and doubt :confused: But, "soon" we'll be all :highfive: and :cool:
[One (M7) General] valleng:
Maybe your right and were just hyping ourselves in turn hyping the phone. Sure most people are not like "OMG SNAPDRAGON 600!" like we are lol. Only thing holds me from agreeing with you is the 9/10 10/10 5/5 type reviews all OVER the web.
[One (M7) General] toad6386:
Yep. There's been a lot of talk over the amount of $$$ they've applied to marketing, but I haven't much of nothing... It could be they spent a lot of cash on shrinks to figure out how we'd react and hype the phone up through word of mouth ourselves!
[One (M7) General] fernando sor:
This is a statement based on nothing. The phone is highly anticipated. They are short on stock. What conditions do you require to forecast a shortage?
[One (M7) General] fix-this!:
I just don't see it selling out like lets say the nexus 4 did.
[One (M7) General] maxtcee:
Marketing? I havnt seen one bit of marketing ex Celt on this site
[One (M7) General] fernando sor:
It's just your statement isn't based on anything but the past. The conditions are completely different now. Released on three major us carriers. They are low on stock. The reviews are excellent.

They will most definitely be short on stock. And this phone is twice the price of the nexus.
[One (M7) General] valleng:
Ill be there before stores open on preorder date preordering for no commitment purchase. HURRY UP AND TAKE MY DAMN MONEY !!! before it goes somewhere else...
[One (M7) General] reddragon72:
Actually HTC did say they were entrusting in the geek community to get the word out. They said the phone will sell on it's own in the store when people handle it but using the internet and geeks to promote it and let people know it;s out there.
[One (M7) General] snorkle:
But the phone is highly anticipated by a select group of people , I've told at least 20 people about the phone and no one had an idea about except one of my friends said they say it announced some where . And reviews don't always matter look at the iPhone sheep. The 4 I believe had antenna problems but it was sold out still, its all marketing no matter how good the phone is
[One (M7) General] Wasuhz:
Maybe this will help.

As the President of Global sells responded to me on twitter... believe this is true..

[One (M7) General] droidiac13:
That's stating the obvious...
[One (M7) General] rpmccormick:
I'm looking to use the HTC One on Solavei's $49/mo unlimited service, an MNVO of T-Mobile. One thing I can't find a strait answer on though... will the T-Mobile version (or AT&T's version for that matter) support 4G HSPA+, or only 4G LTE? It doesn't look like it has the HSPA+ 41mbps hardware, or at least not for T-Mobile's 1700/2100 band, maybe for att's 1900 band, not sure. ...but why would T-Mobile sell a "4G LTE" phone when they don't yet have an operational LTE network? Will it only get 3G on TMO's existing network, or even worse only Edge?
[One (M7) General] Du22ty:
That's the question I've been asking. Never got a response.
[One (M7) General] sabre31:
If HTC doesn't get its act together and release the phone by 1st week in April then providers in US will push it back to May or later they will not want to interfere with galaxy s4 release as that will be a cash cow for them. I want the HTC one so hopefully they do release it very soon or they will be left behind and forgotten by the Samsung juggernaut.

[One (M7) General] mchinand:
How much do the carriers earn per sale of an HTC One vs Galaxy S4?
[One (M7) General] xGary:
That doesn't matter. It only matters that they're going to sell 10x more S4's than HTC One's.
[One (M7) General] sabre31:
Exactly. They will sell many more units of galaxy s4 compared to HTC one. So even if HTC has units to ships to all carriers in April it really is up to the carriers if they want to release it or sit on it for a while. HTC is at their mercy only apple and Samsung have enough weight to tell providers what to do and they do it because their items are hot and very popular otherwise they would not do it for apple or Samsung either.
[One (M7) General] stroker507:
Sales are sales doesnt matter if is nokia, htc, or samsung , htc is the only that should be worried for the gs4, phone stores/carriers will sale both no matter if is htc or samsung
[One (M7) General] mchinand:
Right, I understand that the GS4 will be a big seller for the carriers, but how does also having the HTC One available affect the number of phones the carriers will sell? Or, are you saying that Samsung will tell the carriers not to rollout another high-end phone near the same time as the GS4?
[One (M7) General] sabre31:
That is what I am saying. Not I am hoping this isn't true but crap like this is what apple pulls with iPhone and not having other high quality phones releasing around the same time.
[One (M7) General] yokken:
No phone manufacturer can tell a carrier to NOT roll out other phones when theirs comes out. That would be seen as extremely anti-competitive.
[One (M7) General] xanmanz31:
providers make money off service and activations not devices. thats part of the reason why retail costs on phones are so high. also the carrier gives such a large discount on the retail price when you sign that contract. they know that youll "pay" your bill for 2 yrs so they can take a loss on device. now your third party sellers like wlamart, bestbuy, target....ect they look at device price bc that will effect what they make on a sale. maybe not so much walmart but you get what im saying. those third party stores make a one time pay out on a contract where as a corp store keeps it all in the fam.

---------- Post added at 09:30 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:28 PM ----------

they may not be able to "force" them not to roll out at the same time but may give a promo price on the device to the carrier for a little help, an incentive of some sort.
[One (M7) General] fernando sor:
You guys should be on r/conspiracies with these fantasies.

Yeah carriers are going to hold it until the s4 is out.
[One (M7) General] Xsie:
