The thing is, it isn't just the s4 coming out. I mean if this phone is released in mid April, early may then you have other big phones on the horizon in th's Moto X and the Note 3 .

They need this to be released asap.

It's unfortunately for me as I want a n2 Something bad as of late and really was intrigued by the ONE. I will hold off till April, but if it keeps getting pushed back further and further, well then....

Reasons I want the phone so Bad:

Front Facing Speakers with supposedly fantastic quality (Boom Sound)

1080p LCD 3 screen

Metal Build Quality

Combination of Android's Jelly Bean - project Butter, 2 Gigs of Ram, Quadcore processor and HTC Sense

The Camera software

Reasons that make me skeptical about getting it:

Video Recording is just OK/Good.. usually watery looking in many tests i've seen (Not all)

The 4MP quality is good but lets not kid ourselves: You can see the graininess in some of the pictures (I can) but it's Good for the MP Number

2300 MAH Battery. that's ok but maybe it would be better with a 2500 MAH or maybe ask Motorola how they get that huge 3200MAh battery in their Razr MAXX (I havent tried the HTC one yet so maybe the battery is good)

The fact that HTC's prolonging release (along with the carriers, i fear that as soon as we get the phone, the week after, they'll release the HTC One Two) lol It's gonna happen but the longer they take, the harder it will be to keep the attention of those who were interested at the revealing of the One

Now we are getting info that the middle east is set back to April. BUT the thrid paragraph is interesting. http://www.androidauthority.com/htc-one-the-middle-east-delay-173142/

"HTC Middle East senior brand communications manager Neeraj Seth said that while we can still expect to see the flagship handset landing in select markets in March, the phone “will be officially released in the Middle East in April.” When it does hit stores, it’ll be offered for around $625."

[One (M7) General] bosotros:
I just want to know approximately when to expect ordering to open up. I want to get my pre-order in as soon as possible so I don't miss the first allocation and end up waiting another two or three weeks. I'll wait as long as I have to though. At the moment, I check the AT&T and Best Buy HTC One pages twice a day (or more). If I had a better idea when to start checking then I could have a life again LOL.
[One (M7) General] Ryno_666:
I'm doing the same and calling daily.
[One (M7) General] bosotros:
Just had a chat online with an AT&T rep.

He first said (re preorders) "It's a secret"

Then he said "We would like to know also, we're getting lots or calls".

and, "They haven't told us anything".

The other day a rep told me "Soon".

None of which is particularly helpful.
[One (M7) General] PapaRhino:
I'm constantly jamming the refresh button on XDA's threads..

This phone has also given me an interest in learning how to develop for Android, which is the upside, the downside is I just started working for my fiance's job development company so I don't have time to learn how to program now XD

I've been waiting to upgrade since my contract with AT&T expired at the end of January. I hope it comes out the next couple of weeks because I'll be travelling a lot in April. Hoping to have a new toy to play with on the road.
[One (M7) General] Ballfuzz:
I sold my iPhone 4S yesterday thinking the One would be available within two weeks in Canada. It says coming soon on the Telus site and from the few things I had read, it was on its way.

If it's longer than 2 weeks, ie a month, then I made a big mistake selling my phone so early. I am using an old flip phone i had lying around and I don't even bother texting anyone back.

Plus there's nothing to read in the bathroom!

@JasonMacHTC You stated the HTC One, would be available mid April. Did you mean globally? Is the US launch this month? Much Appreciated.

I'm on the same boat with you, I sold my note 2 thinking the one will be out soon...stuck using a cheap flip phone...
[One (M7) General] Joshnor713:
Me too. I sold my Evo LTE a week ago. But I saved my 3D for this situation.
[One (M7) General] Made2Last:
Overreaction. Samsung's Event was more recently, obviously the news cycle changed. Also, Samsung sold how many of their previous devices? Why wouldn't it be discussed? And have you been reading the reaction to the S4? It's not like it's all glowingly positive. At this point people on here are moving on from one unreleased phone based on the fact that they thought it would be out sooner, to another unreleased phone that they don't know a date for release either. Silly.
[One (M7) General] reddragon72:
Still doesn't seem right or flow with other sites. These guys don't always know everything but still......
[One (M7) General] JesseMT4G:
Man, you guys are crazy selling your devices before knowing these phones were at your carriers store or shipping to you.

No way I would be that over zealous....

[One (M7) General] jngtt:
selling the phone that early is a good idea because the phones will retain value until the flood of used phones shows up and u will have to sell cheaper, bad part is u got no smart phone... lucky for u guys, who sold your phones, my htc vivid antenna went dead... before it was announced.... currently i would like to hear a release date

time to see a fortune teller, i might get an exact date
[One (M7) General] phatty033:
I'm still getting this phone when it eventually comes out but honestly, they deserve to flop due to the way that they are handling this.

[One (M7) General] valleng:
Phones don't lose value that's why I'm considering it.
[One (M7) General] Ballfuzz:
Over zealous? It's really not that big a deal. Like I said, I read it was coming soon so I sold mine when I got a decent offer. I have a phone to use still and while yeah, I may have made a fuss about it, it's really not the end of the world. I would just like it to come out sooner rather than later.

Sooner like 2 weeks, not a month.
[One (M7) General] lunercrab:
Att by me said a rep came by with the phone last week...he told me they are usually a month behind euros release date...so who knows....
[One (M7) General] Joshnor713:
Right, this is why I did it.

When I tried to sell my 3D after the LTE came out, there was a flood of them online from people trying to do the same thing. So I decided to just keep the 3D as a backup and learned my lesson. It sucks using it right now, but not as bad as a flip phone.
[One (M7) General] mrrogers1:

I guess we won't be seeing the phone anytime soon

To receive the $100 trade in value (or actual device trade in value, whichever is greater) in exchange for the Device you trade in, you must register valid email address on the HTC OneTM Upgrade site, you must purchase and activate a new HTC OneTM by April 26, 2013 and mail in your used Device with a valid Proof of Purchase of your HTC OneTM (copy of UPC or invoice/ receipt showing the IMEI) post marked by May 31, 2013.
[One (M7) General] PapaRhino:
Looks like middle of April =/

They keep pushing that date back.
[One (M7) General] JesseMT4G:
Well to be fair I am not the one that mentioned selling your current awesome phone and being disappointed it didn't come out yet, granted the rumor mill had been going on for a good week of not longer saying these phones would be delayed.

Just saying....and can't remember if you were the one using the dumbphone, but man that must suck.

No way IMO I would sell anything device unless there was solid proof in that pudding....

you mean like those articles about how sexist and terrible samsung's s4 announcement was? Yeah, can't be good for HTC that they are talking about how its a minor update and they are sexist.

the mainstream will be discussing the S4 more because the S3 sold so well and they have a bigger marketing budget. This is how it has been. How does that mean anything about the HTC One?

Everybody here needs to calm down.

[One (M7) General] htc fan89:
so, 2-4 weeks wait if htc releases in the first half of april...
[One (M7) General] Xsie:
this truly sucks!
[One (M7) General] chriskwarren:
Wife wants a new phone in early April as her corp plan allows for an upgrade every year. If she delays her upgrade, then her next upgrade is also delayed (ie. she can upgrade April 8 as of now, but if she waits until early May to get a phone then she needs to wait until early May 2014 to get her next one).

We will wait a week or so, but we have no loyalties to any manuf and there are a few phones out there that she will be happy with. Right now the One is choice #1, but we will look around and will be buying something in the next three weeks. If the S4 is available, then that one, or likely or a Sony phone.

Upgrades come often enough for us that its not worth waiting for the 'perfect' phone...makes no sense for us to delay our upgrade cycles forever waiting for a certain phone. If the HTC One is all its cracked up to be, then I can get her an upgrade when my contract allows an upgrade again in the fall.

I bet there are some sales to be lost for HTC if they take too long to get these out in decent quantities.

Htc needs to make a statement. And by statement I don't mean a fricking tweet. I think we can mostly agree they have lost all credibility with their twitter account at this point.
[One (M7) General] Ballfuzz:
The post ahead of yours seems pretty on point.
[One (M7) General] superchilpil:

[One (M7) General] WA_Bob:
Ouch! Sounds like HTC is getting kicked while it's down! :eek:
[One (M7) General] PapaRhino:
They're only getting kicked because they're conducting bad business and not informing people =/
[One (M7) General] fernando sor:
You apparently missed the tweet is not an official statement part of my post.
[One (M7) General] Ballfuzz:
You're right. But with today's official news of April, along with that tweet, what else is there to know?

Sure it isn't "official" maybe, but who cares? Isn't the point getting these phones in our hands?
[One (M7) General] fernando sor:
I've owned 5 htc phones in a year and a half. I've worked on their software and supported the brand fully. Expecting a statement revising their release of the one isn't in my opinion unreasonable.
[One (M7) General] chriskwarren:
In business, **** happens. Happens to all companies. If they post this info on twitter then HTC can say that they did inform customers while trying not to make a huge deal about it. Perhaps the twitter post was done before the PR guys could come up with a unified message.

What I wonder about is that this should not be a surprise to HTC; why promise products to customers and not meet the deadline? Its not like they have shipped to US/Canadian customers and the initial supply dried up quicker than anticipated...they have not delivered at all to some pretty major markets. Reeks of sloppy product execution.

I'm not too upset personally; the One might be available in the timeline I personally am looking at, and I have alternatives in mind if HTC screws up availability. To those who have pre-ordered and want it now, I can see being annoyed at this first world problem.
[One (M7) General] fernando sor:
I think secrecy works when you're a profitable company. HTC is on the ropes and they are handling this poorly. They have a huge hit on their hands imo. But they can't afford the luxuries of a company like Samsung or Apple.
[One (M7) General] VeixES:
Which statement and via which channel would you like to hear? :) Give a good example, so then we know it's the reasonable when HTC makes it.
[One (M7) General] fernando sor:
I'm detecting your sarcasm :)
[One (M7) General] Du22ty:
Correct me if I'm wrong but did they ever make an official statement regarding the release date in the first place? If they didn't why would they release a statement in regards to a release date they never officially stated? :P
[One (M7) General] fernando sor:
Well after the release party all reports were for late March release on us carriers.

---------- Post added at 01:33 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:30 PM ----------

These are obviously my opinions. Hell I'm cool if people do not agree with them.
[One (M7) General] rank78:
I wouldn't be surprised if there is no official announcement for at least another week, that way people still can't technically call them out in the mean time for being 'late' and when they do announce it will be closer to the 'hard release' and the anger will be subsided by preorders launching acrss the board.

So let's see, currently March 19th

HTC One possibly released in mid-April

Galaxy S4 coming by late April

Google I/O May 15-17

Goog/Moto devices possibly as early as June

June feels a way away, but with Google I/O in mid-May we will have information about the next big phone in the competition. Hell, we've already been hearing rumors but in 3-4 weeks we will have a clearer picture.

http://www.digitaltrends.com/mobile/motorola-x-phone-rumor-roundup/

So, after we [hopefully] receive our One's by late April and our impatience is all but a memory, how will we feel about the next big thing literally around the corner? I'm not crazy about Motorola devices but with the Google acquisition I'm certainly willing to hear their case. Imagine if the rumors are true, customize your own flagship with AOSP Android and speedy updates. I can see it coming with Key Lime Pie at launch or soon after, and I can also see the One being on Jellybean until

at least

fall. Don't get me wrong I still really want what the One offers, but the longer it gets delayed the closer we are to big announcements worth waiting for.
[One (M7) General] stepinmyworld:
bummer

well now that we know something, that's a releif. Dissapointing? Yes, but I can now use my money for other electronics and get the HTC One when i can late next month. Bday is tomorrow so i dont mind treating myself to something else lol truly wanted that sucka though. maybe another powerhouse of a phone will surface before the HTC One is released which will compete with the the S4 and One

thanks to the peeps that shared the story
[One (M7) General] jkforce:
I want one so bad but now i am starting to question the quality of phones that will be rushed to be made to meet global demands. Obviously more time they waste here in march they will be super pressured in april due to sg4. If the products are rushed, they are bound to have more problems. I bet htc design teams are working right now on ways to reduce that 200 mins manufacturing time per device for that beautiful unibody design and i dont like the way this is going. I think i am going to wait and see how people that buys sooner report.
[One (M7) General] chriskwarren:
I would not wait if I were you..if the One is available when you are ready to buy then get it. Just make sure that you keep warranty intact.

There are no dates in that article. Plus it's the same news floating around on 14 other sites :p
[One (M7) General] fernando sor:
And best buy stated they had expected to have the device in Stock by the third week in March. So I'm not sure where you guys are getting your info from. I'm a huge htc supporter but this forum is full of rabid fanboys that will shout down any criticism of htc. They are basically batteling for their existence here. It is a big deal. And their lack of transparency is troubling.

But hey im getting the phone whenever it's released.
[One (M7) General] chriskwarren:
Might look like lack of transparency to us...maybe HTC's suppliers are being coy with HTC because they are not a tier one customer and other product launches are their priority?
[One (M7) General] snorkle:
wait so ive been doing some post readings i havent really checked up on this because the more i think about the phone the more it pisses me off, but it looks like apirl 15 is the new release date? is this true or was it horse ****?
[One (M7) General] reddragon72:
that's just it there is no new release date because there was never 1 mentioned to begin with. since we're laking the first date we can't say a new 1 has been set.
[One (M7) General] fernando sor:
Right now it's all speculation.
[One (M7) General] mang0:
I was under the impression that all this talk was just speculation. Did HTC ever specifically make an announcement that the release date for HTC One in the U.S. would be March 15? (or whatever other day, for that matter) If so, I seem to have missed that news article...

EDIT: Looks like someone beat me to that! :laugh:
[One (M7) General] YoungAceAtlanta:
You don't need to be a fanboy to realize how bad HTC, carriers, and retailers business is.. the phone was announce on the 19th of Feb.. Almost 4 or 5 weeks have went by without a single word from HTC or any carrier.. just stupid

"sign up and we will let you know more info"

You call a HTC rep.. they don't know anything..

your carrier is in the blue..

retailers don't know when they are getting a single shipment in

bad business all around.. People need to stop releasing dates till they get some official word.. but at the end of the day im still buying the phone when it comes out.. even if it come out in June.. till then i don't care about it anymore now
[One (M7) General] jeffjackson:
HTC new commercial on youtube

Im sure its already been said on here before but just in case someone new hasn't seen or heard. HTC evidently has had problems getting all the parts because they are no longer considered a top tier company by some of their suppliers. This is what has caused the delay. HTC didnt drop the ball they simply got snubbed. Im getting the phone regardless.
[One (M7) General] reddragon72:
For the last time no-one and I mean no-one ever said the US launch date is BLAH. Speculation was HTC saying it will be available on the 15th which is was and many people in Europe have their's already. But for an actual date in the US none have ever been announced, it was just "thought" that the 22nd or 29th looked good because of the trade up programs dating. If you ever read that whole thing you would see that it also states dates are subject to change without notice.

Everyone needs to chill out with the yes they did give a date stuff unless all these tech sites are now using their speculated dates as representation of manufactures and carrier's non existent dates.

Let's get back to digging up news and hounding the carrier's and HTC till someone cracks. Arguing among ourselves is not helping get the info we want :)

/end(but not sure what to end)

LOL(going at the end of all my post's till it ships because this is all a joke!)
