If T-Mobile isn't taking them seriously than ATT and Sprint aren't either. They aren't going to advertise a phone they don't have a release date for. They need something more solid than End/April.
[One (M7) General] kirdroid:
It's more to do with HTC screwing up on supply than TMo or others showing interest.
[One (M7) General] jpitch2415:
I will probably know a for sure date Tuesday night , htc is doing a giant training to show us and tell eveything we need to know
[One (M7) General] YoungAceAtlanta:
For which carrier ? Or is it just one big carrier meeting.
[One (M7) General] AshsToAshs:
This was just released today:

Looks like the 64GB version of the HTC One is going to be an AT&T exclusive in the US.
[One (M7) General] jpitch2415:
Im with at&t but whennwe registered I remember having to pick my employer
[One (M7) General] CraigP17:
You've never worked in mobile phone retail have you? People buy what their friends have. What they have heard of. What they see commercials for. The percentage of people who buy based on best or best fits their needs... Is minimal... We here at xda are an even smaller piece of the pie...

There is nothing htc is going to be able to do to stop the galaxy. Or even come close to taking a piece of their pie. "galaxy" is the new "iphone" people come in asking for it by name because of the reasons I mentioned above.

I'm buying the HTC One... But again.. I'm in the small minority of the big picture.
[One (M7) General] mouzaihem:
I can't believe the 64GB version is exclusive to AT&T. Just terrible, absolutely terrible decision
[One (M7) General] jkforce:
Exactly. Well said.
[One (M7) General] YoungAceAtlanta:
Exactly. Unless HTC is ready to spend all their funds into marketing their product like Samsung. HTC will always be the last choice
[One (M7) General] msterner123:
I just saw this! Epic fail! What the bleep is HTC doing!? Fail! :(
[One (M7) General] expertzero1:
HTC have already started training for carrier reps this past week. Just information about the device and hands on.

A lot of people ask about the galaxy. What's the difference between galaxy and iOS. I tell them its running android as the base, galaxy is just a brand. They try to comprehend what I'm telling them to no avail.
[One (M7) General] jthein1989:
I would have to agree with this statement... I wonder how much AT&T paid for this?
[One (M7) General] CraigP17:
They are by far the largest US carrier that will be selling the HTC One. So it's really not a bad business decision at all.
[One (M7) General] xXxG0dzRAgexXx:
Especially since most people only need 32. Lucky me I NEED 64 for my usage and i plan on getting it for my upgrade. Im pretty sure it's also only an exclusive offer for AT&T in the US and doesn't apply to the rest of the world. HTC has said the 64gb version will be available in other countries and supposedly Taiwan is already selling it so. Not THAT bad a decision on HTCs part. Most of the people complaining probably won't even be able to surpass 32gb even if they tried.
[One (M7) General] Nyxagamemnon:
Limiting a device size to att only serves no purpose. Even if they have the largest base it's still eliminating potential customers from its pool on other carriers for no reason by limiting there choice to 32gb.

Having 64gb for the only carrier that still data throttles is a stupid move from its initial launch.

T mobile unlimited

Sprint unlimited
[One (M7) General] CraigP17:
It's about money. HTC is a business. Att put forward the $$$ and whatever else to secure that. This is normal.
[One (M7) General] Ryno_666:
I have a terabyte in cloud services at my disposal if I need it. So 32 is not a deal breaker even if I can't get 64 through Sprint. My EVO has 32 and I haven't come close to its capacity. I'm not sure how much crap I need on my phone.:)
[One (M7) General] bosotros:
I'm actually beginning to look seriously at the One X+ again. I would be giving up the svelte case, the awesome camera, TV remote and the incredible sound. I'd also be getting a Tegra 3 which feels like a downgrade. Fact is, all this weirdness is making me remember what I really need a phone for. The One X+ would be a huge upgrade for me from my current iPhone 4. I want android, partly because I have a tablet (TF700T) and because I can't stand the limitations of the iPhone. The One X+ already has fixes for the disabled stuff like the FM radio. Most of Sense 5 will be coming to the One X's eventually if I want it.

The One X+ is going down in price...

Don't want a Samsung...

hmmm...
[One (M7) General] crawlgsx:
It's giving me more and more time to enjoy the BlackBerry Z10 and think about possibly just keeping it for this round and wait for Note III/Nexus 5/etc...

Sad really.
[One (M7) General] CraigP17:
I was given the z10 thru work. It's not bad but I had to go back to my one X. Too many thing I missed and used regularly.
[One (M7) General] Nyxagamemnon:
In the short term yes ATT put $$$ for it but how much? well never know in the long run you are digging yourself a hole. If you want to establish yourself as a Device maker like Samsung and Apple have that they dictate the terms. Then do so. This is only showing how HTC is heading in every direction at once and not staying focused.

Launch Delays

Supplier Issues

"We want to have a 1 Device across all Carriers"

"Wait well Give some exclusives"

"Wait well change it for Verizon"

HTC wants to come out of a sinking ship but there still trying to maintain a structure that they have surrounded themselves with but at the same time trying to capture the pie too.

Instead of promoting their device and getting demand to give them power they are just playing the cards wrong. Heck if they really believe in there device they have over 2 billion sitting in cash. Launch a several hundred million dollar ad campaign and then make the carriers beg to carry the device because there's so much demand for it.
[One (M7) General] jpitch2415:
With all the exclusive talk theres also nothing that says the other carriers didnt opt for just the 32gb only to save $$$ and att is using this as marketing to get new customers
[One (M7) General] ThePhoneGeek:
I might have missed this but does this mean the developer edition will be limited to 32GB? I'd thought HTC said it would be 64GB....

MG
[One (M7) General] xXxG0dzRAgexXx:
No its 64 just like they advertised it. Also the Developers edition is for AT&T's network anyways. Anyone can buy it and use it on any network but its made specifically for AT&T.
[One (M7) General] ThePhoneGeek:
OK well I use at&t's network but didn't want to buy a device that is locked and branded anyway so I guess I am fine but still seems stupid for at&t to do that.

MG
[One (M7) General] jngtt:
i think there is a high chance that it might have the AT&T brand on the phone but no at&t bloat since it is meant for at&t
[One (M7) General] kirdroid:
I don't think it will be branded.. It will probably have the global ROM not the att one.
[One (M7) General] nabzilla1990:
I'm thinking next week announcement from tmobile all the sales reps are saying that
[One (M7) General] kirdroid:
Well at this point we want the phone to be released instead of these useless announcements.. Just sell the damn phone already :)
[One (M7) General] gruuvin:
Well, as I suspected, time marches on, and we see that the allure of this phone is fading. This is why I try to not get too excited and just wait and see if it really lives up to the hype. I want to wait a while before spending $750 on the phone I will use for the next two years, because bugs and build quality issues need to be worked out, revisions need to be made, design features that were left out need to be included, etc. A One+ could be released soon after.

I just want to quickly respond to the many reactions to those upset that the One comes with no expandable memory -- the reactions that say things like "people don't really need more than 32GB" or "the cloud is all you need". If you think 32GB (or even 64GB) is enough for everybody because it is enough for you, SHUTUP! lol. Really! Just shut it! That is such a narrow and selfish viewpoint!

The latest announcement that, in the USA, AT&T will be the only carrier selling the 64GB version is very disappointing to a LOT of people. So many are in the same situation as I am in. We have old phones with 32GB or 64GB SD cards already installed in addition to the permanent memory that comes with the phones for OS and apps, etc, and we are looking to upgrade for the next two years! The new One offers less memory than that but needs more, because it has a 1080x1920 pixel screen for watching large resolution video content, speakers for higher quality audio, and a camera that requires more storage than the cameras of two years ago. THE CLOUD IS NOT A VIABLE SOLUTION FOR THIS PROBLEM, because swapping such a large volume of content like movies, music and Zoe image content requires a lot of data transfer that phone companies cap. If I tried to swap one single movie with the cloud or listen to a playlist of music only an hour or two long I would hit my data cap and be throttled to 2G data speeds for the rest of the month.

And, there are MANY of us who prefer T-Mobile over AT&T, and I'll give you all one good reason: PRICE! AT&T charged my wife $125/mo for unlimited talk, text and data months after her two year contract ran out. T-Mobile charged me $65/mo. I just added a line for my wife, and she dumped AT&T and came over to T-Mobile, so that our combined plan costs only $100/mo for unlimited everything. That is a savings of $90/mo. over what we were paying when she was with AT&T.

So now with the announcement that HTC will make 64GB versions of the One available on AT&T only. That is probably the last reason I will need to NOT buy the One.

I and, judging the reactions, lots of others, need more that the 32GB+ that we already have in our 1-2 year old phones. 64GB is what a lot of people will want. It looks like HTC took a deal to not have to make a 64GB variant that is optimized for T-Mobile. It makes it easier for them when they don't have to make yet another two variants (black or silver) and they get paid by AT&T for the exclusive. Is it a win/win? I think it is a win/win/lose -- the lose is the customers they lose. People who wanted to be fans of HTC but have lost the love due to the continual bad moves HTC has made in the past year.
[One (M7) General] NextNexus:
Literally a 0% chance that the developer edition is AT&T branded.
[One (M7) General] crawlgsx:
Cool story bro. Could you copy and paste this a few more times? or maybe since your not getting the One you could just move on?

64GB is what a MINORITY wants, by the way. Majority of us find it overkill. You see very few people complaining about it "only" being 32GB.

If a 64GB model doesn't fit you, and 32GB isn't enough, this isn't the phone for you. End of story, see you in another forum.
[One (M7) General] Tilde88:
Whats a data cap? ;)

Sounds I me the phone is not for you, no need to try and mark down the phone. This isn't HTCs fault... It was googles initiative over a year ago to have phones later on with none of them having SDcard or removable battery. I personally don't care, but that's me. Just switch over to Samsung, I hear the S4 isn't crap at all, oh wait...

Not trying to be a ****, but the features of the phone are what they are. And before you can say so, no having an SD slot is not a feature. SD is an outdated technology, point period. Removable battery also unneeded, force reboot with power button. Rare scenarios do need more battery power, but it does not mean you need an inch thick brick-phone due to its ginormous battery. I know you are only talking about SD not battery, but it sounds more like you have a compression issue with you videos, as well as a carrier issue with them having a data cap (seriously has to suck, I feel for you). Note: a 1080p 2hour long movie can fit in 2-4gb... Now if you are like me and download a bluray rip to watch on my $2500 TV, it will be like 7-12gb... But bluray rip shouldnt be on the phone, not like it would show the difference. Furthermore, having an SD slot is just plain unsexy... "Hey you like my phone girl? What? Oh yea I got some sick tunes, lemme just switch out my SD card and put my music one in Cuz I was watching buffy the vamp slayer earlier..." A minute later you are scanning the stupid SD card, and finally find that one song, but she's already gone and unimpressed. Not actually how I talk to women, but just saying. Get off the SD boat, its behind us, we ARE the 21st century. It sounds like you are trying to solve your issue 'inside the box' (phone), think 'outside the box'.

Don't be mad or anything about this post, just my honest and non selfish standpoint.
[One (M7) General] sabre31:
I am OK with no SD card slot boat if the phones have large capacity storage. At least the one has 32gb minimum but most other companies like Google have 16gb only with no sd card slot and think that is fine. That is FAIL in my mind especially when they are trying to win iPhone users who can have 64gb phones. You dont want to use SD cards that is fine but then give options to buy bigger capacity storage on the phone like apple does. Cloud is a big fail and joke even it I have unlimited data how do you get to your cloud when you are on a plane its stupid and google deserves to fail if they continue to push these meager low storage with no option for higher storage.
[One (M7) General] harpr33t:
Lol so just buy the developer edition. The end.
[One (M7) General] gruuvin:
Dev edition has it's own limitations. Not the end. The enabled radios in dev edition are for AT&T, not T-Mobile, Sprint or Verizon.

Yeah posting this twice didn't Make this any more relevant
[One (M7) General] phatty033:
and still no date..
[One (M7) General] controlfreak92:
There isn't going to be a date. It's just going to appear slowly throughout the US carriers this month and if you can get one before the end of the month then you're gonna be a lucky s.o.b. It's the same thing that happened in Europe, it trickled in slowly but surely. If they do release a date it's going to be the date that signifies an extra stock in stores so you can just go pick one up. I'm #1 on the waiting list at my store for T-mobile, and i'm sure almost everyone in this thread is #1 in their store. It's bad marketing to announce a date that they can't meet, so they are just giving broad strokes of availability to the general consumer so they don't let everyone down...again... I would be shocked if there wasn't limited supply hitting the shelves (1 or 2 in select stores) by the middle of April.
[One (M7) General] snorkle:
Oh just called att in Lafayette ca, and they said they had the one... I told them it wasn't the one x , they said they knew it was a phone they just gotten in. So I'm going to go and hopefully pick one up
[One (M7) General] Hardcore73:
Please tell me that's true! Let us know if you got it or not. I am going to bug my local store now haha.
[One (M7) General] mchinand:

Pre-orders for at&t starting as early as this week but only for the 32gb model?

http://www.engadget.com/2013/04/01/att-htc-one-presales/
[One (M7) General] phatty033:
so that means the 64gb will only be $50 more than the 32gb version. Seems a bit high for the 32gb version.
[One (M7) General] Hardcore73:
Bought another phone to mess around with

I bought an Xperia ZL to mess around with until my HTC One is released. Hopefully this will hold me over until the One gets here :)
[One (M7) General] LaBigBro:
Preorders may start this week, but entry price will be $250 on contract--the same as the S4.

Personally, at this rate, for the money the LG Optimus G is looking like a steal for $99. Seems like AT&T is quietly trying to make $250 the new subsidized price for top smartphones. That's a lot to swallow on top of what we already pay them every month.

Thoughts?
[One (M7) General] Squirrel1620:
I've walked into 3 different Verizon stores and ask about the htc one release date. They have all said it's out now and point me to the one x.. The I leave shaking my head. Stupid salespeople they know iphone inside and out but I say htc and they instantly lose 100 IQ points
[One (M7) General] SysAdmNj:
The price seems about right. $299 for the 64gb doesnt sound too bad, wasnt the iphone5 64gb more than that on a 2yr contract?
[One (M7) General] toad6386:
I saw the same thing stated in another forum, after I ran across this:

HTC One Price Threatens Samsung Galaxy S4

I'm wondering if AT&T is going with the $250 price for 32G because of the exclusivity deal it got for the 64GB. Tho I know HTC can't dictate prices to carriers, I'm sure they would do all they could to make sure the price stayed at 200, as per the norm with most high-end phones. Priced at 250, HTC would lose more folks, which is something they're trying to avoid.
[One (M7) General] coupetastic-droid:
Awesome price. Tmobiles price should be around the same.

---------- Post added at 01:50 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:48 PM ----------

I don't think Verizon is having the one anyways.
[One (M7) General] toad6386:
Actually, if you look here

HTC One Price Threatens Samsung Galaxy S4

you'll see
[One (M7) General] crawlgsx:
So the question still remains, when will it ACTUALLY hit stores.
[One (M7) General] LaBigBro:
My AT&T folks said that we WILL KNOW when it hits stores, suggesting we can expect some unmissable marketing soon.

Also, in the past few days the AT&T price on the One X+ actually went UP from $99.99 to $199.99. At the time I was left scratching my head, but now it makes sense if the One will cost $250 for the base model upon release.
[One (M7) General] Tilde88:
Sigh... It's posts like this that just makes me blurgh!...

THe problem is, that you expect them to have 100 IQ to begin with. No way in hell they can lose what they haven't got :-p
[One (M7) General] toad6386:
Never underestimate the power of stupidity! :)
[One (M7) General] coupetastic-droid:
Yea but that price is only for off contract month to month plans. You still buy the device full price. Just pay $99 up front and about 20 to 30 bucks a month till phone is paid off. I'm sticking with contract. Which should be about 250 to 350.
[One (M7) General] PapaRhino:
I'm going to sell my iPhone 5 that I got yesterday and throw in $100 of my own money and buy the Dev edition if I can this month. Then send in my Evo 4G for $100 back, GG :D
[One (M7) General] fernando sor:
What verizon store carries the one x?
[One (M7) General] zewone:
Verizon doesn't carry the One X or the One. Maybe you shouldn't be talking about IQ...
[One (M7) General] Wasuhz:
Announcement Will Come Shortly

Jason, The head of Global Sells for HTC has been replying to my tweets all day, the last he replied was to my question "Will the HTC Dev Edition be available for pre-order before friday?" He just said "An official Announcement will be made shortly."

Not sure what this means, but I imagine tomorrow there will be some sort of announcement.

[One (M7) General] YoungAceAtlanta:
If you pre-order online they will need the full thing .. But you won't be charge till the day it ships.

You might be charge pre-authorization tho. Just to see if the card is good.
[One (M7) General] snorkle:
So you would pay the regular amount correct?
[One (M7) General] Wasuhz:
Confused

You are saying that you need the full thing, yet they dont charge until it is shipped. Which is it? Do they need the full thing the day you pre-order?
[One (M7) General] YoungAceAtlanta:
The funds need to be in the card the day you pre-order because they might do a pre-authorization charge like I said. To see if the funds are good. That charge falls off after 2-3 business days. Some companies just charge a dollar for this tho and not the full thing. Still falls off after a day or two
