sarcasm due to HTC posting that video just hours ago... Im a huge HTC fan but posting that video on their youtube channel today and not having the SENSE 5 to edit out a guy boasting about a March 14th release date just makes me wonder who is in charge of PR at HTC and how they got the job. Im going to get this phone, but HTC really needs to step their game up when it comes to handling situations like this...they got snubbed by a supplier..OK...but post a video about THAT instead of a video you obviously had filmed a month ago and post it on the day everyone is finding out that the delay is actually worse than we first thought...
[One (M7) General] snorkle:
Hmm OK, I was just wondering how people got the mid April thing from, obviously something was said that got people thinking mid March
[One (M7) General] fernando sor:
This forum is about the us htc one release. Of course these things are going to be talked about. Some of us have been loyal htc customers for a while. Not to mention having numerous threads on development and theming. I personally have had my xda inbox filed up three times with pms for help. If I want to voice concerns I'm going to voice concerns. This has been a civil discourse. It isn't like this is a flame war.
[One (M7) General] jeffjackson:
EXACTLY
[One (M7) General] fernando sor:
Everywhere I have searched I have found references to a late March release. Best buy has stated that they expected to release in late March. They obviously did not just assume that. That was what they were told.
[One (M7) General] ydoucare:
Early to mid April sounds about right. Per the updated terms and conditions of the HTC One Upgrade Promotion:
[One (M7) General] kkk121:
Guys lets be honest that all US carriers have requirments. And they all want their bloatware implented on their devices, their branded logos on the phones. ...etc... having said that HTC isn't a huge company like Samsung and they have to deliver the phone to over 180 carriers world wide. As much as I am in pain lol waiting for the phone, but we got to wait if you or I want this phone. Plus htc never made statement regarding a release date..so can't really blame them, but blame those website spreading the rumors. :)
[One (M7) General] CraigP17:
They did say in march. Pre-orders were supposed to start on March 13th at Best Buy. Google it. They had signage and everything. They were told to throw it away.
[One (M7) General] fernando sor:
Yes I agree. That has been updated twice now. Per the original buy back program. If we went by their original date no one would have been able to utilize it. This is pretty compelling evidence actually that htc blew the original launch.

---------- Post added at 05:08 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:05 PM ----------

You're right. And that was the email response I got from them. That is of course known by htc. They would not be so incompetent as to not figure that into their release estimate.

---------- Post added at 05:10 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:08 PM ----------

Bottom line is they jumped the gun. They were not prepared.

I'm still optimistic as I think this is going to be an amazing phone and will be a huge hit. That is if they can get the parts they need.
[One (M7) General] zwtipp05:
It's pretty obvious from watching that video that they were trying to steal some of Samsung's thunder from the S4 release event. I'm not sure how you watch that video and get a March 14th release date. That wasn't even the guy that was purportedly from HTC.

I've been waiting to upgrade from my original Galaxy S since January, a couple more weeks isn't going to kill me, plus the trade in promotion is nice because there's no way I get anything close to that for my old phone on ebay.

This thread is about as useful and informative as a turd in a punchbowl.
[One (M7) General] snorkle:
Turd in a punch bowl is quiet funny, but when actual information is released then someone on this thread will get see it and post it here
[One (M7) General] jaminbird:
I went into a Best Buy on the 15th, saw the signage for the One which said "Pre-order Now" in big letters. When I asked someone in their mobile department about it they looked confused. I walked them over to the sign at which point they bent down to read the fine print. When they popped back up they told me it wasn't available to pre-order until the 13th. I mentioned that it was the 15th and we shared a chuckle.
[One (M7) General] fix-this!:
Im hearing a mid april or so release.
[One (M7) General] sabre31:
HTC is small time player they can't produce so many phones so quick on a global scale would have been better if they kept their mouth shut.
[One (M7) General] jeffjackson:
so you mean to tell me that they didnt mean to imply a March 14th date by not editing the last few seconds of the video to remove that guy saying that? Yes I can tell the dif between who in that spot was with HTC and who wasn't..duh..but a) either that was the date they were set to release or b) not editing a video( which CLEARLY points to that date) to remove such a comment shows that there is a serious lack of intelligence in their PR dept. As far as them doing that as a spit in the face of Samsung, didnt Samsung do the same thing to Apple? Either way putting that video on youtube today was a silly move seeing as its the 19th and it is mentioned that the phone is coming on the 14th. Anyone with windows movie maker could have edited that out. I doubt very seriously that some guy they were showing the phone to was like, "Yo, Ima just put a date out my butt and get on TV"...really?
[One (M7) General] YoungAceAtlanta:
Exactly... Should of left it at "Coming soon"

[One (M7) General] toad6386:
I remember I waited for months between the announcement for the 3VO before the actual release. It seemed longer because I was running a Pre! :what:

Anywho, though there was speculation, suspicion, and a goal of a mid-March release date, nothing was ever written in stone, nor promised to anybody! HTC owes their loyal fan base a quality product, nothing more. A quality phone isn't like a Big Mac with extra sauce. *steps onto soapbox* The constant expectation of instant gratification will only lead to more heartache. *steps down* :D
[One (M7) General] eg1122:
That video has been out since htc one unveil.
[One (M7) General] Xsie:
I give up
[One (M7) General] eg1122:
It will get here when it gets here. Those who really want the phone will still buy it. The ones moving on to another phone are just using the delay as an excuse. If you really want the HTC one you will wait for it.
[One (M7) General] dragzer223:
I've been saving my upgrade since October of last year lol...I suppose I can keep playing the waiting game lol.
[One (M7) General] xXxG0dzRAgexXx:
Been saving an upgrade for well over 8 months, I can wait a few more weeks. As long as I don't get a gap in mine im okay. Very picky with my device but Im gonna be rocking it for over 2 years so I want to get it in the best condition I can. Gonna have to put some sort of case on it too. :/ My iPhone 4 looks really scratched even though i take good care of it. Can't see it when the screens on except for 1 scratch thats been irritating me for once. It'll be in my desk drawer for months before it sees light again once I get my HTC One. :D The aluminum seems to get nicks in it pretty easily and I want it to look new a year from now at least. Will probably get a bumper case. As long as it has raised edges since I don't want to use a screen protector that isnt glass itself. Hate the plasticky feel of screen protectors.

I do have an evo 4g lte and a htc rezound with two external chargers and five batteries if any one is in a jam. Would sell cheap. PM if anyone needs a phone for a month. Not trying to make any money. The two smart phones I had before these i just gave away.

No they won't, they'll start 6 new threads about. Just look at a the duplicate threas for M7.

[One (M7) General] stroker507:
1150?? These guys are smoking pod,

, i purchased the phone from ebay 749.00 free shipping looks the best ebay deal
[One (M7) General] mrrogers1:
It's only worth what someone will pay for it and I remember people paying ridiculous prices for the LTE and of course Nexus devices. Silly... Or then there were the $12 Magpul magazines (AR15/M16) selling for $60 when the ban scare was in full swing.... People do some crazy things.

THE TRUTH ABOUT ASSAULT WEAPONS
[One (M7) General] crawlgsx:
I'd pay $800-850 to have it now, $1100+ is just stupid for a preorder but whatever floats your boat :laugh:

Knowing that within weeks-1 month I will be able to walk in to an AT&T Store in my area and have it for $600-750 makes it pretty easy to not want to spend crazy prices to get it at the same time.
[One (M7) General] htc fan89:
funny thing is on t-mobile's htc one infor page, where htc has the trade in offer. it still says must buy htc one by 3/31 to receive the 100 dollar back....I know it says subject to change at the bottom...but a guy can hope for a miracle to happen:fingers-crossed:
[One (M7) General] SteelH:
That's not going to happen here on XDA, nor is CDMA. I've already asked.
[One (M7) General] eXplicit815:
Wirefly is showing that Sprint and T-Mo will have a Silver and Black model of the HTC One available. Not sure about AT&T because it doesn't look like they even carry for AT&T.

Wirefly doesn't carry AT&T phones now. Not sure what happened, but they had a falling out with AT&T a year or two ago and AT&T stopped doing business with them.

Htc One will most likely be coming out mid April

As much as I would like to think he does not know what hes talking about, its most likely the truth, considering he is the president of global sales.

I asked him on my twitter to make sure he meant US and he answered me with this.

All you people saying to chill as no release date was given are wrong. There were various carriers, mostly 3rd party given dates as Mid March.

People have a reason to be put off a little bit.

Also hope this don't mean they rush these out and come with all kind of bugs due to the situation with the supplier. :(

It is so damn hard for me to not snatch up a One X+ or another AT&T device this week, my god O_O
[One (M7) General] bosotros:
The One X+ is $199 at AT&T right now but a week ago they'd dropped the price to $99. No way I'd pay the extra $100 now. They'll probably go back to $99 when the One is closer to launch.

Aside from all the obvious features of the One that makes it worth waiting for, the benchmarks I've seen make it a no-brainer to wait whatever time it takes. I know I'd be pissed at myself a few weeks later when the One is available if I get a One X+ now.
[One (M7) General] PapaRhino:
Yeah I know, I know. I saw the price drop too >_<

My fiance and I are very instant gratification people, and she's using a old samsung slider and i'm using an evo 4g, we really want some new phones, and soon, and without a real release date for the One here, it's getting really hard to resist, even though I know I will feel like crap if I give in, because I know in two months I'll just buy the One off contract like a dumbass and get far less value for the previous phone -_-

C'mon HTC, -_--

Well, at least I know in all my obsessive watching that I haven't missed anything........... :eek:
[One (M7) General] leohdz148:
This is my opinion on how I think they are gonna do it in the US, if the release isn't the 15th then on the 15th they are more than likely update the websites with preorders ready and have that lead up to the 22nd or it could be that they have the preorders up over the weekend and that the release will be on the 22nd, assuming that the US isn't affected by the delays, but other than that in not expecting it to release the 15th, and yea that's just my opinion but until there is an official release then im sticking with the 22nd, but hey if it comes out the 15th that would be awesome for all of us :)

Has anybody who signed up to be emailed updates from either AT&T or T-Mobile even gotten a single email yet?

I sure haven't.

I signed up to be emailed updates on the release of the HTC Glacier (My-Touch 4G) by T-Mobile a couple of years ago, and I never received any emailed updates until after I had purchased the phone! LOL! Great Marketing!!

If there is a date set for when the phone goes on sale and/or when they start taking pre-orders, they really need to email out these announcements if they want to maximize sales.

I get enough junk mail that I didn't sign up for and don't want. Why can't I get the junk mail I did sign up for?!! lol

If Google follows the same timeline, that is still quite a few months away.

I just hope the One comes before the S4 so I don't have to make the stupid decision of buying an S4 out of impatience. Sad but I am not going to lie to myself and say I wouldn't do it. :eek:
[One (M7) General] soapbubble:
So would I.

They also don't have preorders for the 64GB version. That's concerning since that's the one I want. Anyone know if it's going to be delayed a lot or just a week or two after the 32GB arrives?

[One (M7) General] eXplicit815:
If anyone is saying that they're going to consider switching to an S4 because the One isn't going to be available until mid-April, you're basically looking for attention. It's 2 more weeks, not that big of a deal. If your phone isn't working, you can go on Craigslist and get a cheap older model phone to use for a couple weeks to hold you over, then sell it when the One arrives. Just kick back and enjoy the ride. I know for a fact mine will be here in mid-April, but I'm not stressing over it. I've got things to keep me occupied until then.
[One (M7) General] valleng:
I'm only considering waiting for the gs4 because i know i won't be satisfied for long. Once the novelty of the hardware wears off I'll start to see the miss happenings of sense. I think touch wiz while still ugly provides for more value

[One (M7) General] SteelH:
You should head right over to the SGS4 forum then.
