i think 199.99 would've been a perfect price point for the 32gb version. For 249.99, the general public will more than likely pick the s4 or the iphone at 199.99.
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] xXxG0dzRAgexXx:
HTC One on AT&T = $249 w/ 2 year contract (guess $249 is the new standard)

I guess you haven't heard but the S4 is starting at $250.

And I'm pretty sure that means 16 will be $250, 32 will be $300 and 64 will be $350.

Also iPhone starts at 200 with 16 being lowest memory capacity. So it goes 200, 300, 400.

The HTC One with 32 will be $250 and 64 will be $300.

Hopefully they'll go with memory capacity being only $50 apart instead of the current $100 apart. >.>

So HTC is actually the one with the best prices here. So with your logic actually that means the HTC One is more likely to be picked by the general public. (if only that we're the truth!)
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] mickliq:
I know the US (and Canadian!) market prices are still very much perceived based on subsidies, but really, we need to look at the cost of devices on an unsubsidized basis if we want to compare Oranges and Apples :=)

The US pricing for *unlocked* iPhone 5's (and this is some 6+ months after release), is:

16GB - $649

32GB - $749

64GB - $849

So you need to compare the HTC One Developer unlocked at $650 to the $849 unlocked iPhone 5. I presume the AT&T "no contract" price for the HTC One 64GB will be the same $649. Seems pretty good value to me!
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] phatty033:
Im fully aware that the s4 will be starting at 250, hence why I said the public will be more likely to pick that when it's the same price as the one regardless of the storage. The majority of people aren't going to pay attention to the storage but moreso the brand of the phone and the price. Also why would att price it at 250 when sprint is pricing it at 200? not good for htc.
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] hamdir:
AT&T to sell the HTC One on April 19 for $200, pre-orders start April 4
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] phatty033:
am not sure where the 250 price point came from, but that's more like it!
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] mickliq:
Very excited to see they have the 64GB ready to go at launch! Coincidentally travelling in the US week of the 22nd - yay!

HDMI Link shipped

Just got an e-mail that my my Media Link has been shipped. The store put in a seperate order for me because they forgot to add it to the One preorder. It was shipped to upstate New York today and it will arrive on the 16th. For those living in the Northeast, this kind of gives us an estimate of how quickly the phone will arrive based on when it's shipped.
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] ErikWithNoC:
Hoping the actual phones have a quicker shipping time than your media link. I'm wondering if they used a cheaper shipping rate for that because it was placed outside of the preorder. Still, hopefully this is good news!
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] agentdr8:
The pre-ordered phones should ship out FedEx 2-day. At least that's how every pre-order device has been delivered in the past few years.
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] cachookaman:
my order status changed from this:

to this:
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] lvhboy:
Me too. Guess most of us have this kind of status now. But I don't know if that means our phones will be shipping soon or just an automatic system status update.
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] Kennedya12:
I don't know how this normally works but it'd be great to get them a few days early. The anticipation is killing me!
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] cachookaman:
just did an online chat with AT&T and this is what they said

AT&T Rep: Oh okay, I see here that you pre order the HTC one and the shipment date is on 04/16/2013 to 04/18/2013.

Me: So it should arrive by the 19th?

AT&T Rep: Yes.

Me: Is there a possibility that it could arrive before that date?

AT&T Rep: It may be possible that it could arrive on the 18 since the shipment date is from 16th-18th.

im gonna bet that theyll stagger shipping based on your location so it ends up arriving on the 19th no matter what
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] robertopod1968:
I predict that one week from today we will have some people happy with a tracking number...and some people saying "AT&T screwed me, I ordered the first minute it was available and still no tracking number" and screw AT&T, wtf etc.. then everyone will get the phone eventually and be happy
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] ekerbuddyeker:
I love these ranting threads. Been the same for every device I have ordered since joining xda!
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] ErikWithNoC:
The Nexus 4 limbo zone was fairly incredible.
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] YoungAceAtlanta:
I added overnight for $14.95

So regardless where it ship from on the 16th. I'll have it on the 17th
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] cachookaman:
theyre shipping anytime between the 16th and 18th. its highly likely theyll ship yours on the 18th and itll arrive on the 19th. the ones with regular shipping are probably being shipped on the 16th and 17th so they arrive on the 19th as well. or maybe youll get lucky and itll actually arrive early but i doubt it.
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] mchinand:
You still can't order it, but at least the black One is on the AT&T website.
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] lvhboy:
Me too. Hopefully they will ship mine in the same day. Otherwise, I will waste $14.95:crying:
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] YoungAceAtlanta:
I doubt all of that.. But you make sense.. I really don't thnk that will happen tho since it will be a lot of angry people calling them on the 16th if their phones don't ship..
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] bosotros:
Have you noticed, the shipping date given on that page for the black is April 15th. One day before the silver one.
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] Wendy0831:

Too bad you still can't order it.
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] UMGixxer:
I want the black one but there is no preorder for it and I was kinda wanting the free hdmi thing.
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] YoungAceAtlanta:
it can't be a problem with the black one.. because i see UK users getting theirs.. and it's pretty much the same phone for all of us
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] LuRock:
Yea but no word yet if it will be available on the 19th in stores:mad:
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] n1ne:
Does anyone know when's the last day we can pre-order?
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] lvhboy:
I think it should be 18th.
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] YoungAceAtlanta:
If its anything like the Blackberry Z10 then if you decide to order in the last 3 days of pre-order it won't count as a pre-order.. it will just be a normal order..

You would still get the HTC Media Link HD tho long as you order before the 18th
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] n1ne:
that's cool as long as i get the media link.. I get paid on the 16th so as soon as that money shows up in my bank account, it's going straight to ATT :laugh:
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] tripsy17:
A lot of sites are saying it's upgradeable to 4.2.2. Is that legit or just speculation? :)
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] WA_Bob:
I'm sure it is. With it's current specs, it should be upgradeable into 5.0 and up. The only questions are how long will it take HTC to get the update out and then how long will AT&T sit on it before they let one be distributed? :eek:
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] kdsmith1016:
For what its worth, I spoke with an ATT Rep today...who informed me that preorder would end on 15 April as the device will be available in store 16 April
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] grukko:
If they're still saying this by Monday then I'm canceling my preorder.
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] PPPeterP8nts:
it will be available on the 19th in stores

the rep you talked to has no idea what he's talking about, i wouldn't trust him. ATT official release it stores on the 19th. Also if you pre-order now you get a media link

here's from AT&T's website :

†Accessory will be added automatically to shopping cart and the price of the HTC Media Link HD Wireless HDMI Adapter will be reduced by $90. Offer ends April 18, 2013 or while supplies last. 2-year wireless agreement with voice & data plans or Mobile Share plan required. Other charges and restrictions apply.

read the fine print at the end
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] sabre31:
Phone ships on April 16th most pre orders I have done before I had them on same day it was supposed to ship. Their website says ships 16th and our premiere rep said same thing at work.
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] YoungAceAtlanta:
just read my post above

The blackberry Z10 pre-orders ended 3 days before launch.. if you went to the website it was listed as "Buy Now" not "Pre-Order"

that's just something to keep in mind.. the media link hd thing can go on as long as ATT would like..

Just went in my local AT&T store. They have the phones setup as demos, but none in stock. Rep said they will get them tomorrow and sell them Sunday. Not sure how true that is, but I'll check Sunday.
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] LuRock:
These reps don't know what they are doing! There a lot of us here on XDA that know way more than they do.;)
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] Kennedya12:

[AT&T HTC One (M7)] jrock79:
Yea. Three setup in my local store.

---------- Post added at 03:39 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:34 PM ----------

You are so right. Called another store and the rep said the phone had been released and they didn't have anymore. Lol
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] PPPeterP8nts:
I use to work for AT&T and they are stingy. if they say that thing is only available for pre-orders only, it will only be available for pre-orders only.

we had the phones in store a couple of days before launch and we were never able to sell them before the release date. If you buy it now you will not be able to get the media link. Again AT&T is very weird about how they do things and they do not care about their customers because they can aford it. Not saying that the reps do not care, but we were not told anything until 2-3 days before the phones came in.:eek:
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] Bogie08:
The HD Media Link wasn't on my order, and I've tried calling and chatting with at&t to try to get them to add it and they've said it's not possible. How did you guys get them to add it?
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] lemonz23:
Played with the demos today at AT&T. Really loved the smooth feel of the screen! The screen would barely attract any fingerprints even though my hands were rather sweaty also, compared to the fingerprint magnet the the Note 2 or GS3, it was phenomenal! Sound was very good, but from the hype people were throwing towards it, it was below my expectations (environment could be a factor also). Loved the fluidity of how the screen went. The only lag I noticed was when opening/closing the widget select screen. Also tried out the boot screen (didn't see any reviewers who demoed the AT&T boot) animations weren't as smooth as I expected it to be, but then again I'm very picky about lag. One thing that was annoying to me was how flush the power and volume buttons were. I didn't mind the power button being up top, but I couldn't really feel the indent of the button when trying to turn it on.

One thing that boggles my mind is why so many people stress about the indents with the speaker bezels. Its literally microscopic and you probably wouldn't even notice it if there wasn't a thread about it.

But I think the hardware buttons might be a game changer for me. If the GS4 feels just as smooth and performs as fluid as the HTC One, I think I will end up with the GS4. If Samsung decides to keep their crappy fingerprint magnet of a screen on the GS4, I will end up with the HTC One. Just sucks that I will have to keep borrowing my friends GNex until the GS4 comes out. It's going to be such a long wait :\
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] ErikWithNoC:
I think it's just luck of the draw. I called to ask about my order (when everyone's status changed to "pending shipment") and the Media Link (preordered in the store and forgot to get it then) and they said they would give me a callback the next day.

They called back, told me the order was going along normally and that they would send the Media Links out immediately and they did! 2-day air via UPS! I should have them Monday since UPS doesn't do weekend residential deliveries. Very pleased with the customer service I received.
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] michael.s.under:
I plan on walking in the store and buying whenever I can. Friday at the latest. The store told me there have only been a few preorders. That may increase with the display units in hand. I would pre order from ATT if the HD Media Link came in stock. Its showing out of stock now. Earlier this week it was in stock until I went to check out. But for a free $63/$90 accessory I WOULD pre order.
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] ntrinsik:
You should be able to pre-order in store to get the Media Link. It showed as out of stock when I tried to check out online, got frustrated and did it in store with no problem.
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] cachookaman:
i just called my local at&t store and they told me they had the 32GB version available for sale. i asked if they had the 64GB and the rep put me on hold for a couple seconds then came back and said "im sorry were actually sold out of that." i dont know whether i believe that or not.
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] Daman09:
This always baffled me, what are the requirements to even work in an AT&T corporate store? I assumed the bar was low, but when I went to apply a few years ago, they said I was under qualified. I'm a college student, so I would assume they wanted people with a degree?
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] scotty2hotty1125:
Just jumped on the bandwagon. I called AT&T and got them to give me an early upgrade (my original date was in September). I got the phone for 199.99, the media link adapter for free, and my upgrade fee waived. This should be an awesome upgrade from the Galaxy Note (i717). I was told it would ship out on the 16th and I should receive it by the 19th. Can't wait!
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] hugebulge:
I called today, told them it wasn't added to my order when i preordered. They are sending me one .... try calling again
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] cwrich93:
I'm a premier customer, and I just tried calling and told them it wasn't on my order. She kept saying I'm sorry for your inconvenience like every five seconds and went on saying that I had to manually add it to my cart when checking out (which when I preordered wasn't even an option). She said that even if I canceled now and ordered again they were sold out. I don't believe it, so I will just hit up the store tomorrow. I mean if I get it I get it because it was free. I really just want my phone.

Do y'all think the store can order me one even though I ordered the phone online?

Preordered the 4th, READY TO GET IT ON THE 19th!
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] jcracken:
Exact f*cking thing. I'm also a premier customer, one of the first to preorder (did it on the 4th, the first day you could preorder). I automatically assumed that I would get the Media Link HD just for preordering, but two days ago I started reading this thread and realized I made a horrible mistake. Now they won't let me get it. On top of that, HTC sent me a promo code for a free case the very next day and AT&T wouldn't let me add it to the preorder I already had--the first time I called they told me to call the following week, then they said I would have to cancel my preorder and do a new one. That was only after a few days and several hours on the phone and on chats. So annoying.
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] cwrich93:
Tried again, still no luck. I decided the phone is more important than the media link because I'm not getting backordered
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] hugebulge:
Yea the rep I spoke with knew about the promotion and saw it wasn't added to my cart. I she got.a managers approval and sending it to me for free

This is ridiculous. If something like this happened with a new iPhone release, Apple would be furious. AT&T has been treating this whole release like crap. Terrible pre-order experience, terrible communication, and now they're just going to piss of enthusiasts because they can't educate their employees.
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] LuRock:
I agree. I went to a att store today and the reps had no clue when the ONE was gonna be released. What's funny is that every time I go to one of these stores I end up educating them on the phones they sell.
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] clcross18x:
In my store, we all have degree's. It's always a little humorous when I see comments on the internet insulting our intelligence or education levels. For it being a retail job, we actually make a fairly decent salary. Enough to put you through grad school comfortably or if you want to, have a career. Its not glamorous of course, and it's still retail, but it;s a pretty ok company and we could all be doing a lot worse.

Anyways, back on topic. I know in our store we would be pretty much disciplined on the spot if we sold a phone before the street launch date. I'm fairly sure it's due to the fact that all corporate stores received the demo units and were instructed to put them out on the sales floor so pre-ordering customers were able to see the phone before they purchased it. Some of the uh....less stringent stores may not have gotten the memo. Add to that the HTC First launch today, and it makes for a kind of confusing situation.

I have half a mind to try and pick one up myself on my off day tomorrow at some stores in my area, but will probably hold off till the 19th to avoid any issues since I have a work discount on my account. It's been torture playing with the demo devices and not being able to get my own.
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] droidiac13:
I tried my hardest to have them sell me one when I went into the store today, but no dice. First thing out of their mouth was, "Not until next Friday." LOL
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] chivamex10:
I doubt they were corporate stores..

You won't see that happen in the bay area. Sadly I work in a heavily iSheep populated city. My customers are too mentally challenged to realize how amazing this phone is. They barely know how to put their iPhones on silent

:screwy:

We do around 1000-1500 phones a month. Only a fraction of them are android. Samsung only comes up because of the commercials. I'd love to sell this phone all day but not enough people know about it. Your average customer doesn't want to hear it.
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] Dannar:
So here's my thing. I'll be going to AT&T, and I'm heavily considering the One. I pre-registered for the trade in program.

I got an e-mail offering a free case. It sounds like it only works if I buy through HTC directly. And now AT&T is offering this HDMI thing (emulate games to my TV, effectively making my phone a game console? Help yes!).

Can I still get the case, the TV adapter, and the $100 trade in deal by buying through AT&T with contract?

Duely blundered from my thunderdolt.
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] cremains:
I can confirm that a lot of stores in NYC have the phone in stock and are selling it.

I'm on my way to pick one up.

The store said I didn't have to put one on hold as they have "plenty"
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] droidiac13:
The trade in works no matter where you but the phone. HDMI is AT&T specific while the case is HTC specific. So I'd assume you can't get all three.

I have a friend who works for AT&T. She tells me that the store she works at is not selling it yet. Maybe Monday.

She will talk to her manager and find out what's going on.

Strange how some stores are selling it and some are not.

I will wait until her stores sells it so I can help her with the commission :)

I've called several stores and a lot of them have it in stock and some still nothing. It's odd that some of these stores are only a few blocks away from each other.
