Should be the same materials I'd hope! I prefer black over white as the me it seems more unified. Also for some reason i think the notification LED will stand out more when contrasting with black, however I'm probably wrong!

I phoned them up last night and was told 3rd for delivery. Hopefully they're just covering their backs and are hopeful it'll be the 28th.
[One (M7) General] djbenny1:
please post back if you got your phone today!

also please check if you have any gaps / overhangs etc as mentioned in the other thread:

Hello iv got it :) I'll upload the pictures soon but the pictures dont show how amazing it actually looks.
[One (M7) General] djbenny1:
great - can you also try and copy the photos that I posted above (gaps / overhang) please?
[One (M7) General] Alsybub:
I ordered black from EE just got a shipping reference from the courier saying it will be delivered tomorrow.
[One (M7) General] Alexw94:
I got pictures of where the gaps have been seen, there is a very small gap at the bottom which I didn't notice till I checked the pictures on the camera so it doesn't bother me (that much).
[One (M7) General] Razwaz:
HTC UK tweeted saying black are being rolled out!
[One (M7) General] kenny17430:
Then Amazon better send it to me quickly :D
[One (M7) General] djbenny1:
nothing at the top then? no overhang?

looking forward to your pictures!
[One (M7) General] Alexw94:
I haven't posted enough to post a link, can I PM you it so you can post?
[One (M7) General] djbenny1:
guys here are alexw's pics of his black One:

so Alex you can't feel or see any overhang then as shown in my picture?
[One (M7) General] h.han:
Wow! Have to say those pics are just like press shot! They are so attractive!
[One (M7) General] Alexw94:
I can't feel any overhang thankfully :) It's good to be back on a smartphone after using an old brick for about a month haha
[One (M7) General] h.han:
I know the black version does attract fingerprints on the back much noticeable than the silver version. But not sure how easy it is to clean those marks.

I am due a silver one but was considering the black but changed mind due to the fingerprint problem and the potential chipping issue.

I know it is still early stage for you but if you could give us a review a day or two to share your fair opinion.

Thanks
[One (M7) General] HavoK11:
Glad to hear Htc are finally rolling out black into the UK market!
[One (M7) General] riz157:
Yes black tends to shoe up fingerprints that much more, it's the nature of black.

Guess what guys htc one black is coming!!!!

I can guarantee you you will be playing with your devices when it gets delivered!!!! :)
[One (M7) General] arknailed7754:
I've always had black and grey phones...it will look better in black but silver is sweet also
[One (M7) General] HavoK11:
Just spoke with Vodafone and they confirmed they had just received a large shipment of Htc ones fingers crossed there's a black one in there for me
[One (M7) General] Arkangel786:
That's strange, I spoke to them a short while ago and they said they have no stock and no exact date when they'll be getting any ''it'll probably be towards the end of the month and your phone should be with you by the first week of April, but we don't have any exact dates''.

I also got £5 credit on my account as a apology.

[One (M7) General] HavoK11:
Ask to speak to a manager or someone in upgrades they have a better idea as the system will show no stock or "back order" as it hasn't been updated
[One (M7) General] Marcismo55:
Is it just me or seeing the One in black just makes you wet.

Just sayin...
[One (M7) General] bobbyball:
I ordered a black one in February from P4U and haven't had a dispatch email. I was in the first 250 people who pre ordered so would be interested to know if you have received yours.
[One (M7) General] HavoK11:
By the sound of it a lot of black units where shipped out today hopefully they will be shipped out tomorrow for Friday
[One (M7) General] dogstar:
Rang phones4u this morning regarding my upgrade with o2 and placed order for a black htc one, they told me it would be delivered within 5 working days which i thought was good.

Ive just received an email with tracking number and its going to be delivered tomorrow.

Now that is good customer service :D
[One (M7) General] djbenny1:
yea ive been very impressed with p4u and dialaphone so far, i dont think anyone on here has had a bad experience with them yet (regarding the one)
[One (M7) General] Tetsumi06:
You're not wrong there
[One (M7) General] Alexw94:
Yes I received it today there are pictures of my device on this thread. I thought it was a bit strange that I got my phone before a lot of people who ordered before me, it seems unfair but oh well im not complaining :)
[One (M7) General] Arkangel786:
Anyone else received their black one yet?

Sent from my HTC One X
[One (M7) General] RyanDawson:
I really wish I had held out until the Black One was released.

I might ask to change as I received a Silver one and the Black looks amazing!

Edit:

Yeah i've just requested a swap so lets see how that goes
[One (M7) General] dogstar:
Yes . Delivered at 10:30 this morning :)
[One (M7) General] Sabrezx:
Who did you order from mate?
[One (M7) General] asheyb85:
I'v been told told not to expect anything before the 4.4.13 all they state to me is its coming direct from the manufacturer

Sim Free HTC Black - placed the order 7/3/13
[One (M7) General] HavoK11:
Still not heard anything from Vodafone :(
[One (M7) General] matt504hrs:
Mine arrived yesterday, got a large overhang on the bottom and can clearly see where the top grill is also not lined up.. almost like the whole front face (speaker grills and glass) have been attached too low down. Phones 4 U suggested going to a store to swap it for another but as the stores aren't going to stock them for a while they're sending out a package to return it and have said they will open the replacement beforehand to check it is ok before sending it. Really want to play around with it but I'm trying hard to leave it and wait till I've got one for I'm keeping!:eek:
[One (M7) General] dogstar:
Ordered yesterday over the phone with phones4u and was told I could expect it to be delivered within 5 days so was surprised to receive an email last night saying it was despatched.

Also got ur beats and the htc case and phone seems to be unbranded and sim unlocked which is a bonus.
[One (M7) General] ksarius:
Damn. Black with gaps too??? As you are going to replace it, you could do a scratch test for us lol
[One (M7) General] matt504hrs:
this has already been done by someone else..

can't post a link so you'll have to fill in the bits.. youtu.be/_EWqPpYVE08

:good:
[One (M7) General] smarty2322:
How come you got them ur beats?? I orderd mine last Friday and just had a case :mad:
[One (M7) General] ksarius:
I've seen it before. But i m not quite convinced yet as people say that their silver ones gets scratched with fingernails
[One (M7) General] dogstar:
Dont know :confused:

They didn't mention I would be getting them.
[One (M7) General] Dharkan:
Guys, urbeats is special to HTC or its just a beats headphone?
[One (M7) General] HavoK11:
Anyone received a black version from Vodafone?

no, first week of april in germany...
[One (M7) General] justabrake:
Question on the HTC ONE is there going to be a T-Mobile version USA or are they all going to be unlocked ?

Thanks
[One (M7) General] Razwaz:
HTC UK tweeting the black will be available "sometime in April". Getting sick of this terrible release
[One (M7) General] bosotros:
At this point we'll probably see the silver and black released at the same time. I hope they have enough 64GB models to meet the demand.
[One (M7) General] HavoK11:
It is rediculous most of us prior to the 15th had already been waiting 2 weeks now were looking at another 2 weeks wait
[One (M7) General] ksarius:
How Cant i post a video here? I wanna post a video of black that i round on youtube
[One (M7) General] asheyb85:
Anything later than 4th of April I shall cancel my order which was placed on the 7th March :mad:
[One (M7) General] Jorlin:
I have been placing my order at amazon.de for the black one as soon as it was possible...

Honestly, it is ridiculous to see these posts "I am canceling my order when..." or "I wait for..."...

Yep, guys, we are all waiting... but have you seen the reviews. I am really wondering what you are going to cancel your order for? As if there was anything better you could be waiting for? The only one you are hurting is yourself... and the one who gets the HTC One you would have had if you had not canceled the order will be even happier...

So yes, I would love to have the HTC One asap. But I have no problem waiting another 2 or 4 weeks. Because I know that even then I get the best for my bucks. Is HTC to blame? Apparently they are working hard to bring the phone to market asap.

Yep, go on an fool yourself by pretending that it makes a difference if you cancel your order in a week or two... I am pretty sure most of the people here will wait as long as it takes... And most of them will be well rewarded doing so.

:angel:
[One (M7) General] epicfailguy2:
I rather wait till june than having overhedges and gaps due to poor quality check of a rushed release. Also developper edition need.
[One (M7) General] Jorlin:
Yep, reports about poor built quality bother us all. But let's be patient:

1.) The official roll out to the market starts next week. Therefore, the devices, which have already been delivered, and the ones to come might even show slightest differences.

2.) This is a forum that attracts news about problems with devices... Mainly because this is one of the reasons, it exists: Sharing problems and looking for solutions and advice. This always leads to an overestimation of problems since all the people who have a perfectly fine device do not show up.

3.) Most of us writing here have a super high standard regarding these things like built quality, software bugs, long-term durability etc. This is perfectly fine and I am glad it is this way. Nevertheless, do not forget this, since this probably leads to a sense of disappointment more easily.

Having said all this, there is probably one issue that appears constantly on photos (even in reviews) that might be more common. This is the gap between the front and the plastic bezel found either on the upper and/or lower part of the HTC One.

But still: Some of those were pre-production devices and there still is only a low number of devices out there...

@epicfailguy2: We all hope it is worth the wait, no matter how long it takes :fingers-crossed:
[One (M7) General] HavoK11:
Some good points there anyone else received there htc one x black over the weekend?
[One (M7) General] bosotros:
"Poor build quality" ??

jeesh
[One (M7) General] kenny17430:
The black version seems to suffer the same problem as the Iphone 5

I haven't checked if its a pre version of the HTC. As far as I remenber HTC had the same issue on the HTC one S but corrected the issue quickly and exchanged for free the faulty one with the new version.

[One (M7) General] @home:
I was holding out for the black, but now i'm not sure if that's a good idea
[One (M7) General] asheyb85:
Following this, Iv been told it will be after the 4.4.13 now, and have now canceled the order for HTC One Black.... Those who receive their handset and were willing to wait no matter how long, good luck and I hope you enjoy your phone.

For me its been disappointing, having been my first HTC order (new not used) its been very poor marketing/rolling out and I will have a look into a different brand for now.

:mad:
[One (M7) General] h.han:
Not sure if the review can do justice to the black One, since they put the phone with keys and coins in the same pocket which in that case most of the phones will get scratched and chipped.

I am interested to know from the lucky black One owners, have your One been chipped or scratched? Also, are the fingerprints easily wiped to clean? Since it looks old with nasty fingerprints on it.

Thanks
[One (M7) General] Razwaz:
Who told you that? If that's the case I'll change for a silver version
[One (M7) General] Barca009:
Scary stuff...

I know he was an idiot for putting the phone in a pocket with keys but we all know that drops happen and if it looks that bad with so little actual damage then maybe I will swap my pre-order for the silver...
[One (M7) General] jutley:
any phone will scratch if you put in pocket with change and keys lol that's why we invented cases lol why didn't he just blend it.
[One (M7) General] HavoK11:
Anyone heard anything more of availability of black I thought Htc were shipping! Was hoping to receive it for the bank holiday weekend!
[One (M7) General] @home:
Somehow I doubt it
[One (M7) General] HavoK11:
That is disappointing :( really wanted a decent easter pressie for once! :P
[One (M7) General] Freedom First:
The black looks sexy as all heck, but based on what I know of manufacturing and finishing processes on aluminum, the black anodizing is going to wear off in a short amount of time (that's if you don't use a case).

This is a shame, because I'm seriously considering the 64gb version of this phone. But, I carry my phone in my jeans pocket with no case... the good looks of a black One wouldn't last very long! :crying:
[One (M7) General] Razwaz:
@htc_uk just replied to someone that said they've received their black versions, so we can take from this that it is being rolled out. So why did they tweet saying it'll be available in a couple of weeks? I don't think even think HTC have a clue!
[One (M7) General] ext109:
I think they meant it would be globally available in a few weeks, but I just tweeted them just to be sure.

EDIT:

htc_uk: The new #HTCOne rolls out in Taiwan, UK, Germany next week and across Europe, North America and Asia-Pacific before the end of April.

someone who replied: @htc_uk is that both Black abd Silver versions or just Silver??

htc_uk: @mr_kofident Silver, my friend. The black version will come in a couple of weeks

That's why I think they meant globally.. they were talking about Taiwan, UK, North America, etc.
[One (M7) General] HavoK11:
It's all over the place there have been a trickle of black versions making there way around but mass distribution will probably be in a couple of weeks which is shocking as they should of been in this position on the 15th!
[One (M7) General] ThatNerdGuy:
Guys, got talking to P4U online CS and they've given me an estimated delivery of 2nd April on the black. Not sure whether to wait or go for it. Don't want to be down 489 and phoneless for a few weeks so at the moment I'm thinking of waiting :fingers-crossed:
[One (M7) General] ste1164:
Some people in the phones4u thread have had dispatch notifications for the black model.
[One (M7) General] HavoK11:

My Black One from Vodafone has shipped for delivery on Thursday!!!!

[One (M7) General] bosotros:
What about 64GB versions? Somewhere I read that they were going to arrive several weeks after the 32's. AT&T's HTC One page shows both black and silver as well as 32 and 64GB's. I think they'd want to have all the versions available when they finally go on sale.

Has anybody got a black 64GB? or been able to preorder one?
[One (M7) General] jutley:
Got mine.
[One (M7) General] HavoK11:
Enjoy! Mine will be hopefully waiting for me once I get home from work
[One (M7) General] bosotros:
Good news! the US rollout should have 64's in black too then.

edit: oh wait, I just noticed in your sig you got a 32...
[One (M7) General] jutley:
Yes they are all 32gb I ain't seen anyone with a 64gb.
[One (M7) General] Arkangel786:
I received mine at 8.30 this morning and have been playing with it since!!

Overall impression so far: I love it. It's a fantastic device, buttery smooth.

However.......there are a few tiny things that I dont like.

1) Blinkfeed - Don't think I'll use it much.

2) I miss some of the classic sense widgets, the gallery ones especially.

3) The lack of a dedicated task switcher (third) button.

Also, I got some crappy HTC earphones bundled with the phone, not the beats audio ones. Does anyone know how to switch beats audio on? I can't switch it on when I'm listening to music through these earphones.
[One (M7) General] ksarius:
Congratz on your phone.

How's the build quality? Gaps? Any noticeable problems with the aluminum?
[One (M7) General] RyanDawson:
Usually there is a switch in the Settings menu that turns Beats On and Off, and the phone should then enable Beats when ever audio is being pushed from the phone :confused:
[One (M7) General] wizzywig27:
are these not beats audio ones? I aint opened mine yet but presumed they were, I was going to use them with my iPod!
[One (M7) General] Arkangel786:
Build quality is perfect mate. No gaps at all and no issues with the aluminium.

Something that might be an issue later on is the paint along the edges. It doesn't inspire alot of confidence and I can see it getting scratched pretty easily. I'll invest in the double dip hard case from HTC though.

Yes it's there but it's greyed out so can't use it.

No they're HTC ones :mad:
[One (M7) General] HavoK11:
Hey guys just got my HTC one and it's B E A - utiful in black I'm in live build quality is amazing no gaps best phone ever just need to get rid of the black bar at the bottom for some apps and it'll be perfect!

[One (M7) General] dibdin:
On my way now to collect my one in black. Really can't wait.
[One (M7) General] Nekromantik:
I'm concerned now. I tried to get phones 4u to change to silver but got told can't until I get the device and ask for exchange.
[One (M7) General] riz157:
If the device is out for delivery then ofcourse you have to return it first. If it's still awaiting dispatch then you can cancel and re order if SIM free. If on contract then they do normally swap if not dispatched.
[One (M7) General] Nekromantik:
It's sim free and not dispatched.

They would only let me cancel and order again but not enough funds as money already taken so will take until next week to clear so that's not a option.
[One (M7) General] @home:
Why do you want a silver? Black is beautiful, wouldn't swap for a silver if you begged me.

Stick with the black, you won't regret it:D
[One (M7) General] Nekromantik:
The whole paint coming off is a issue lol
[One (M7) General] BenPope:
What paint? The surface is anodised, dyed and sealed. It's not painted. It won't come off unless you dig chunks out of the casing with vandalism.
[One (M7) General] @home:
Amen to that :good:
[One (M7) General] Nekromantik:
Well people have said same process was used on the one s and if it's scratched then you start to see silver underneath. Hope it's been improved.
[One (M7) General] Nokiacrazi:
To my knowledge, correct me if I am incorrect, the HTC One S was 'micro-arc oxidated' ? Which is a different process to normal anodising?
[One (M7) General] riz157:
Yes unfortunately that's the way it works

It can take up to 14 working days for refund, which is ridiculous tbh. I cancelled my black pre order on the 13th and still haven't received refund.
[One (M7) General] Jorlin:
@HavoK11:

Thanks for the pics... Blurry cam greets XDA, I guess :silly::eek:

However, great to see a black htc one in real life. Any problems with the coating?

It really looks great. If you have more pics... do not hesitate... :D
[One (M7) General] Nekromantik:
I currently still waiting for refund from Asda for my One.

I expect it to arrive next week sometime as its up to my bank now as Asda have already released the funds.

Yours is taking longer then 14 days! Phones4u are bad at refunds it seems.

[One (M7) General] RyanDawson:
The silver does look really nice but theres just something about the black handset that i like :)

The gap on the bottom looks a lot worse than if you were to look at it in person, the flash on my camera really made it stand out

Thanks a lot, you've got a killer phone there !

That's mate had to wait ages for it pre ordered at the start of march but well worth the wait
[One (M7) General] Riyal:
Hi! Can you also provide a macro shot on the top and bottom part of the phone where the gaps are usually found? Would like to see it closer and know how it was built.

Tbh I can't see any gaps or issues with my unit nothing like the people in the other thread

Im pissed off as i have been waiting so long:/
[One (M7) General] arknailed7754:
No issues. Everything is sweet. Only thing I will say either full body armour it or case it. It fingerprints like mad. Worth it though
[One (M7) General] Marcismo55:
I want to pre-order through ATT but all they show is the silver which blows. Anyone heard anything about the black version availability?
[One (M7) General] CiDhed:
I called the store, black is TBA on the date. I just went ahead and ordered the silver as I want the free HDMI adapter and will probably case the phone anyway.
[One (M7) General] Marcismo55:
Yeah I'm thinking about doing the same. Hopefully they make an announcement sooner than later. I wouldn't mind eating the restocking fee to exchange for the black version.
[One (M7) General] BillTheCat:
Looks like the restocking fee is $35, but only within 14 days. Not sure what happens if the black is delayed for longer than two weeks - either by circumstances or intentionally to avoid all of us who are thinking about doing exactly this. Feedback is appreciated.
