I figured they wouldn't take preorders with the rumors of a mid April release this early. Odd. Usually preorders are taken a week or two before release of the device
[One (M7) General] fernando sor:
It could be an error but it is still listing on their site
[One (M7) General] stroker507:
My hope is for the end of the month, this wait is killing me..
[One (M7) General] bugsy:
It doesn't affect the one and not most of the currently shipping products according to htc.
[One (M7) General] sabre31:
If you want it on release day I would avoid best buy like the plague. They never have the phones on time and I have read time and time again where they never delivered the phones on time. Especially if initial stock will be low the carrier stores will have priority to that stock and not best buy.
[One (M7) General] Ryno_666:
Four phones deep from Best Buy all of them preorders haven't had a problem yet.
[One (M7) General] reddragon72:
I think someone forgot to turn off the auto update on the BB website. Change a website main pic for a phone at 1am???

Plus if you go to the carriers carrying the One the links to the one page still says coming soon instead of pre-order.

I hope I'm wrong but it sounds a bit Best Buyish to me LOL
[One (M7) General] Ballfuzz:
Did you go yet?

What's the deal?
[One (M7) General] Ryno_666:
No just replying to home slice.
[One (M7) General] valleng:
I'm there right now. Called before and it's a go
[One (M7) General] Ryno_666:
I'm out front of BB waiting for them to open I hope your right.
[One (M7) General] jeffsanace:
When are they shipping and what's their price, please.

Insert something clever....
[One (M7) General] valleng:
So he looked on there page and saw the ad but he couldn't pre order. Everything was blacked out and it wasn't on their list of phones that you can pre order. Crap
[One (M7) General] fernando sor:
I called and was first told a go and with actually talking to a store rep she said was not allowing it
[One (M7) General] valleng:
Same exact thing here. Probably they messed up and didn't remove their auto ads
[One (M7) General] pdubcramp:
They also have the best return policy, especially if you're a Silver Rewards member (60-day return period).
[One (M7) General] Ryno_666:
They are not succeeding in preorder. Yet....
[One (M7) General] Ballfuzz:
That's disappointing.
[One (M7) General] reddragon72:
I just got off the phone with the BB by me and was told that the pre-orders start Monday the 25th. I asked if he had a time for when they might come in and was put on hold for a bit before being told the 29th!

I asked if he was right and he said his manager looked and he shows they are scheduled to received a small batch of phones on the 29th but couldn't say if it was for all three carriers....... hmmmm fishy fishy.... I have never bought a single thing from BB for this very reason they are clueless but try to act in the know and will toss anything out to get you into the store LOL

Sounds like the same thing I got from them with the Nintendo Wii. They tried to pre-order early and say they would have them in at midnight the day before launch lol. Anything to get you in the store.
[One (M7) General] superchilpil:
Just got out of BB the rep told me they weren't doing them yet. Showed me it wasn't available in their system to do a preorder

Sucks!
[One (M7) General] PapaRhino:
Just got off the phone with my store and the mobile manager said that it's not in the system yet, but it should be in the next week, that supports what you were told I think. Looks like we're getting this in very early April or at the end of next week if we're super lucky.
[One (M7) General] Xsie:
I'm sad to say this, jmo HTC will be out of business in 2 years tops. Or bankruptcy....smh
[One (M7) General] P_M_G:
because they want to be like Sprint?
[One (M7) General] fernando sor:
I think the worst case scenario is they would be bought out. They have to many resources to just go away.
[One (M7) General] bugsy:
The interesting thing is that despite the fall in sales and all the doom and gloom you read, they are still profitable. They do need to develop and market a brand image, but at least they are still making money.
[One (M7) General] thawk720:
“HTC has seen unprecedented demand for and interest in the new HTC One, and the care taken to design and build it is evidenced in early reviews. The new HTC One will roll out in the UK, Germany and Taiwan next week and across Europe, North America and most of Asia-Pacific before the end of April. We appreciate our customers’ patience, and believe that once they have the phone in their hands they will agree that it has been worth the wait.”

Looks like we'll be waiting for another month :(
[One (M7) General] LaBigBro:
Where did you find that info?
[One (M7) General] thawk720:
It's popping up now all over the net, androidcentral, tech buffalo, tmonews... I just dont have ability to post links.
[One (M7) General] crawlgsx:
http://www.engadget.com/2013/03/22/htc-one-officially-hits-germany-uk-and-taiwan-next-week/

"before the end of April" ... Lame.
[One (M7) General] PapaRhino:
First week of April? ;_;
[One (M7) General] xGary:
Have fun trying to convince carriers to do ANY advertising for your phone over the money-milking GS4 that will come out at the same time. Will probably get stuck in some corner somewhere.
[One (M7) General] htc fan89:
it be easy to buy off-contract then haha
[One (M7) General] crawlgsx:
More likely mid to 3rd week of April,

Sadly Im going to go pick up a Z10 today just so I can sell this N4 and have something new to play with until the One finally gets here.
[One (M7) General] valleng:
HTC is done. Completely buried itself.
[One (M7) General] sabrdawg:
Not happy :( I've been searching Google COMPULSIVELY for the past 2 WEEKS only to keep hearing different stories, and now this? Seriously, why am I even bothering to check the news and get my hopes up only to have them brought down ? :(
[One (M7) General] chiensibut:
OMG im dying waiting
[One (M7) General] reflekt:
Signed up for the Sprint reminder and nothing here either... and I also signed up for the Evo3d and got an email about the phone being released a week after I had been using it. :confused:
[One (M7) General] jskup:
I'm certainly guilty of the same. I'm also actively trying to figure out what the final specs will be on the Sprint device. I keep hoping that it will match the Engadget review and actually be a quad band GSM device as well as the CDMA and with any luck have a removeable SIM.

I can dream.
[One (M7) General] crawlgsx:
The anticipation is killing me, worse than any other phone yet! GOGO HTC! :silly:
[One (M7) General] CPTryder1536:
Well Sprint has a pre-register link up on their website, my prediction has always been they would announce the release date either the day before of the day after the Samsung Galaxy S4 and sell it on the following Friday.
[One (M7) General] Negri Electronics:
Hello Guys!

Maybe we can help.

We will have the HTC One on 3/30* http://nel.ec/XLGsQb We are shipping them same day. We do not know of the US release date per say, but these will have 4G (not LTE) for most of the American Carriers - even T-Mobile in the 1900 areas. The ONE will not have the 1700 as far as we know.

We actually offer a trade in program that we have in Beta. We do not advertise this as we are still working out all the kinks, and want to make sure we have the resources to accommodate all the requests. For the time being, anyone at XDA can visit http://nel.ec/YueDYa and find out more.

If you have questions about the HTC One and wish to speak to one of our NegriCare professionals you can visit our site in the links above and ask. If we don't know the answer, we will tell you that. If we do, we will share.

Have a great day.

[One (M7) General] anit77:
64gb without LTE for $900 are you on crack???:eek:
[One (M7) General] YoungAceAtlanta:
$800 for a HTC One.. without LTE...
[One (M7) General] snorkle:
how badly do you guys want the phone ;)
[One (M7) General] NiCk.JaY:
If you don't want it, I think you won't be able to even imagine how bad we want it :p ;)
[One (M7) General] reddragon72:
Price is crazy. Plus if it does hit in the states on the 22nd then that is sooner that the 30th not to mention the shipping delay unless you want to roll out another 50 bucks for over nighting it. And then no LTE LOL

I'll wait for Sprint to buck up and say something.
[One (M7) General] CursiveQ:
I would caution on buying from these guys. Bought my Galaxy Nexus unlocked from Negri and was told it comes with full warranty. 4 months later when it broke, you guys tried to charge me a "flat rate" for repair, claiming that there is no warranty since the phone was from japan. Really shady.
[One (M7) General] anit77:
I'll happily wait for at&t. Most likely $199/$299 for 32/64gb, w/LTE. Got an upgrade ready to go.

Hell even if I have to wait till April it's better this offer.
[One (M7) General] cdd543:
Yeah it's not like there will be a big lag in launching the international version versus our local carrier one so I'm going to wait out AT&T as well. Why pay a premium for no LTE only to either get it the same time or later.
[One (M7) General] fernando sor:
Hell I'm hoping all of these fence sitters don't get the one. That will increase my odds of getting one

---------- Post added at 03:17 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:53 PM ----------

Just read that Verizon may be releasing the phone sooner than expected. Maybe the end of the month
[One (M7) General] snorkle:
i bet you the delay is because of verizon, they werent supposed to get it at first and now that they are htc has to provide them with a bunch of handsets =/
[One (M7) General] superchilpil:
I wouldn't believe anyone at Walmart, since that is where that rumor came from
[One (M7) General] fernando sor:
Sounds like someone needs a stabbing

---------- Post added at 03:24 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:23 PM ----------

All rumors are suspect. It does kind of make sense. What good would it do to come in two months from now.
[One (M7) General] jtragna:
According to HTC there is a problem manufacturing their ultrapixel cameras... I heard that from an Android News source
[One (M7) General] reddragon72:
I said it three weeks ago that US carriers wont make any announcements till after Sammy does their spiel.

Lets hope that tomorrow we will hear something.
[One (M7) General] aimetti:
well before this news the htc one was my only pick. at this point I might as well look at the gs4 before I go w/ the one.
[One (M7) General] cdd543:
Damn oh well--looks like the import shops are back in play. I'm guessing negri is glad to hear this--price increase...lol.
[One (M7) General] soapbubble:
Yeah. They needed time on the shelves before Samsung media blitzed through. It's over.
[One (M7) General] Riyal:
Chill out guys. A couple of weeks more wouldn't hurt you than sacrificing your favorite phone just to get a new one early.

Seriously you don't wanna see someone holding your favorite phone while you're holding a phone that's only a second choice for you months after. You're gonna drool just by looking at it. :D
[One (M7) General] LaBigBro:
The issue is that HTC needed to beat the S4 to market by a comfortable margin--which is not happening.

It's spells trouble for HTC more than simple inconvenience for those of us anxiously waiting to upgrade.
[One (M7) General] fernando sor:
I'm actually kind of in disbelief that they could be so incompetent as to release this after the s4.

Peter Chou needs to go. Any other company after a free fall like this would have replaced their ceo
[One (M7) General] LaBigBro:
The ONLY drawback I've seen regarding the S4 is the stated intent by some xda devs to not support the device--which could change after release.

The One needed to hit market first and get out ahead of the S4. Epic fail.
[One (M7) General] fernando sor:
And who is to say there won't be further delays? Really just a massive cluster ****.
[One (M7) General] djdark04:
I chatted with a T-Mobile rep online... And after a few generalized comments I finally got the rep to say that they are apparently releasing the One on 03/31. So maybe early next week I hope!
[One (M7) General] fernando sor:
I think there are many drawbacks. I have literally zero interest in ever owning a Samsung cell phone. I have a Samsung tablet and one cheap plastic piece of crap with software I will never use is enough.

But come on htc. Get your **** together.
[One (M7) General] Xsie:
I'll be doing that myself. But going with the IPhone 5 cause higher resale value. Maybe I'll see what the Z10 is re selling for. I'm not a big fan of Iphone
[One (M7) General] Joshnor713:
I don't get anger towards HTC. The manufacturing issues are out of their control, what else can they do!
[One (M7) General] coupetastic-droid:
Beginning of April, end of April or march, bring it! I'm getting this puppy no matter what.
[One (M7) General] phatty033:
lol those reps know about as much as we do or less
[One (M7) General] fernando sor:
The anger from me has to do with the fact that I do support htc. And I have a droid dna do waiting isn't an issue. I'm frustrated because I've seen one poor move after another. There marketing is horrifying. I mean going from the one x to the one? What genuis thought that one up? And blink feed and zoe? Cool features horrible names.
[One (M7) General] Wasuhz:
Its very simple

In my opinion its a very easy thing to realize, the phone is coming mid April. The President of global sales himself said this on twitter. While I realize this is not official release date, this is most likely whats going to happen. If anyone in the company would have the best estimation of when they can release it, it would be him. We need to stop hoping and wishing for new articles to popup from websites just looking to gain hits. And as someone else said, the techs over the phone and in stores are less knowledgeable about whats going on with this then us. So just trust the words of the person who is in charge globally of selling the product. Simple.
[One (M7) General] djdark04:
Very true...or maybe they just wanted me to stop talking to them lol
[One (M7) General] kkk121:
I was excited about bestbuy preorder lol but now I see htc usa had made announcement on their facebook page that itll be on the market next month! Before the end of April.
[One (M7) General] xanmanz31:
best buy took down pre order online
[One (M7) General] bosotros:
wow... what an emotional roller coaster.
[One (M7) General] YoungAceAtlanta:
i totally agree.. their marketing is horrible..
[One (M7) General] kkk121:
As much as I am disappointed about the delay...but the phone itself is worth the wait if you really want it.
[One (M7) General] xanmanz31:
hell by the time they release it there will be another. of course it will get delayed some how as well. it never fails. i dont understand how they have them overseas but we dont this is friggin stupid.
[One (M7) General] YoungAceAtlanta:
its not like we have another choice.. who wants to downgrade and get last year flagship phone
[One (M7) General] JesseMT4G:
So many different stories from twitter feeds, to store reps. Nobody seems to know much.

Went into T-Mobile today, a cooperate store and two reps knew about it, but said probably not till this Monday. I will call, but not holding my breath.

Note was Definitely off the table for me. I am on a classic plan anxious they want 419 for it, lol!
[One (M7) General] bosotros:
I might move to England. :good:
[One (M7) General] xanmanz31:
lets get a group discount. im down for free healthcare and htc one in my hands couldnt be better.
[One (M7) General] Ramborouser:
Just got an email from HTC confirming the "by the end of April" for the US. I'm assuming this went out to everyone that preregistered, as I did not inquire.
[One (M7) General] jeffsanace:
+1 sadly got the same email.. I'll be ready to order still when it's available. It's still the best phone on the planet and I don't see that changing in a month.

Insert something clever....
[One (M7) General] Wasuhz:
2 different Chipsets

I believe the ones overseas do not have the same chipset as the US version with LTE.
[One (M7) General] mrrogers1:
Yup, me too. Nice communication, new delivery window of "April" and some tid bits of info on what goes into the build. *I didn't see the build info prior to this but I guess it could have been out there already. :)

Happily and patiently waiting for Sprints pre-order. The only way to insure early (hopefully pre-launch day in store) delivery. :thumbup: :thumbup: :beer: :beer:

Us EVO 4G LTE folks have a M7 port coming down the pipe as well so I'll get to get acquainted with Sense5 early, again (just like going from the 3D to the LTE) so I'm not gonna stress over all this.

THE TRUTH ABOUT ASSAULT WEAPONS
[One (M7) General] yokken:
I'm definitely not preordering at Best Buy. I did that with the SGS3 and they didn't have it for over a week after AT&T stores got it. I ended up ordering one online, got it shipped to my house and had the phone in hand a week before Best Buy even had them. I just kept my gift card and never went into pick mine up when I finally got the call. There was a huge uproar over it too in the SGS3 forum on XDA. Not gonna make the same mistake twice :)
[One (M7) General] mang0:
I can't say I'm a particular lover or hater of Samsung or HTC. Have only owned one smartphone (Epic 4G) that has been pretty good to me over the years.

I definitely wanted to get the HTC One ASAP, but now that the release date will probably be so close to SGS4, why not wait to see both devices? In the end, people pick whatever device they like best. But if that wasn't an option in the first place, then there would be no competition. It's just so sad to see that HTC didn't realize that.
[One (M7) General] mrrogers1:
They realize it, they failed (as a direct result of their standing with suppliers which is a direct result of them failing capture the hearts and minds of the tech consumers because their marketing strategy is NON-EXISTENT) to capitalize on it, that's for sure AND to me, the saddest part of all this. I'm rooting for HTC but man, they are missing the mark all over the place! :(

THE TRUTH ABOUT ASSAULT WEAPONS
[One (M7) General] yokken:
Lol, it's not like they didn't realize it. But you can't just conjure up parts from thin air. You can't build a phone in 5 minutes. It's not like they planned this from the beginning, or neglected to consider that releasing later would lose them sales... they just got screwed. Plain and simple.
[One (M7) General] mrrogers1:
They screwed themselves into this predicament. :o

THE TRUTH ABOUT ASSAULT WEAPONS
[One (M7) General] bosotros:
I just got the email from HTC. It's disappointing but it won't keep me from lusting after this phone. I'm not a Samsung hater but I'm a very strong Samsung dis-liker. I won't get the S4 no matter what.

It's going to be hard to wait.

But I will.
[One (M7) General] NextNexus:
Phone never should have been announced until parts were ordered and manufacturing was lined up. They screwed the pooch on this launch yet again.
[One (M7) General] xanmanz31:
yeah i got the email as well and this is just another nail in the coffin for htc granted ill still get the device. for those of us who know enough about phones will probably still buy it, but your average sheep consumer wont. those are the sales HTC really needs to keep their heads above water.
[One (M7) General] mchinand:
Yes, me too.

(images with quotes from and links to BGR and Mashable reviews removed)
[One (M7) General] LaBigBro:
It should read, "Jason Mackenzie [former] President, HTC"
[One (M7) General] Tanquen:
It’s nice to have some communication but why the smoke and mirrors about how long it takes to make the phone. They did not know that before they made the last release date?
[One (M7) General] bosotros:
That's been out there ever since the original announcement. It's one of the most hyped features, the precision of the uni-body construction, zero-gap etc. The delay ids based on a last minute screw up by one of the camera module suppliers.
[One (M7) General] yokken:
If they had waited to announce the One a week before it was legitimately ready to ship worldwide, no one would have officially known its existence. Meanwhile, the Galaxy S 4 would be blasting headlines everywhere. The One would be even more of a footnote in a market largely dominated by Samsung. The only people *****ing about the phone not being available yet are the people who've been waiting for it forever, the people who are actually following the news of its release. The large amount of people who will buy this phone are still probably largely unaware of it, but at least it's been announced.

Just give it time, guys.
[One (M7) General] ksarius:
Kkkk some comments are so funny Lol

Some people praise and cheers for the one to beat the gs4 like its their homeland soccer team haha.
[One (M7) General] bosotros:
WE'RE NUMBER ONE! WE'RE N UMBER ONE!

ONE... lol
[One (M7) General] mang0:
"Realizing" something with a company like HTC would involve planning to overcome that obstacle. Poor planning and management means they obviously didn't care enough about it to prevent it from happening. If it's something they feel they NEED to get done, it will get done. That's just the way it works, imo.
[One (M7) General] Nfinity:
http://pocketnow.com/2013/03/22/htc-one-retail-launch

April it is.

Oops. Already posted. (Somewhat) sad news, but good to know something at all.
[One (M7) General] yokken:
Yeah, because they definitely didn't care enough about the success of their company. Yes, devices NEED to be shipped out ASAP, but you can't have some random HTC workers step into a factory and start cranking out more camera sensors. Maybe it was due to poor planning but I guarantee they've done everything they can to speed this up. Don't for one second think they "don't care enough". Some things you cannot prevent.
[One (M7) General] bosotros:
In the original "delay" stories HTC said their forecast was to have 4 million units available for the launch. Because of the delay in the camera parts the actual amount of phones they could ship by end of March was 800,000. In the email they say "several hundred thousand people in the US pre-registered". The delay makes sense as unfortunate as it is both for us and for HTC.
[One (M7) General] jkforce:
Official HTC announcement says usa release is at the end of april. Stop dreaming?
[One (M7) General] ksarius:
Haha. Well I actually don't care if HTC one beats the 4. I just want my phone! Lol Cuz I know HTC will never be a bigger company and will never be able do ad like Samsung. Samsung is the one who dictates Korean economy with thousand of line of products kkkk. Plus Samsung is in every freaking country, but HTC only in a few. That's the bad side. In my country, I think 1% knows what HTC is.

When I tell people here that I will get the HTC, you know what they tell me? "Chinese phone?? Hell no! I'm never getting a Chinese fake phone Lol.
[One (M7) General] mang0:
As I said before, my definition of "caring enough" is measured by outcome. The amount of effort you put into something is a moot point if there is no result. I'm not saying HTC is a terrible company because this happened. But I don't exactly take pity on them either.
