I won't be disappointed if it ships on the 19'th because I'll feel like they aren't be holding up their end of the bargain, I'll be disappointed because when I placed the order I didn't realize the 19'th was a Friday. My assumption was that since I was getting next (business) day delivery, that I would get it on the 20'th. That's my mistake, not theirs, but still disappointing.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] 64mosh:
You might be lucky enough because wirefly ships with FedEx and as far as my knowledge FedEx does deliver on Saturday's so you might still get it the 20th!
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] riggsandroid:
Just ordered it for wife.

Will update when ships, etc.

strike that

UPDATE:

Sandeep M: Due to manufacturer’s delay, there is a nationwide shortage of this device previously listed as available on a pre-order basis. At this time we do not have an expected availability date. Please wait to have this fulfilled or you may cancel their order and re-contact when the device becomes available.

5 minutes later:

Sandeep M: We're expecting the phone to be stock by the end of this week.

Sandeep M: I have checked that with my supervisor.

Update 4:03PM - 4/16

Now Status is "Approved - Awaiting Inventory"

Wirefly has awesome customer service - as long as you follow their terms of service then you will not have trouble. I feel they get a bad rep for their charges they clearly state they'll charge you if you don't follow their instructions. They've let me know of the Black HTC One delay and switched me over to Silver while maintaining my position in line AS WELL as upgrading me free of charge to Next Business Day. I really couldn't be happier with Wirefly! Oh and they may not have the brand recognition that say Newegg or Radioshack do, but they're all the same service - Simplexity.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] srb7215:
Take this for what it is worth. Talked to Simplicity or Wirefly about changing my shipping from two days to one day. Then asked when they were expecting to ship the phone and he said that they were receiving the phone on the 19th and would start shipping them out over the next 24 hours. So it could be Saturday or it could be Monday.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] Tyzing:
My word, I'd give anything for mine to be at my door on the 19th instead of on Monday...doubt that's going to happen though :(

Add me on the list for HTC One though...good times ahead
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] Kilmar:
I'm going to wait until Friday for Newegg/Simplexity to send me an update for my 32GB black order. If I get an email that says it will be ready in a week or two, I will wait. If I don't get any email, then I am physically walking to the Sprint store to buy the Glacial Silver (been going back and forth on the color). I figure the $70 difference is worth getting it ASAP. I will also be talking real fast to get the activation fee waived and to get free accessories to cover the difference.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] riggsandroid:
Activation fee sure, but who's going to give you free accessories and why? :silly:
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] youkosnake:
It works. You just have to talk fast and pretend to be angry.

Sent straight outta Compton
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] Kilmar:
Yep, I have gotten away with free home chargers, car chargers, cables, screen protectors, A/V cables and other peripherals. Usually a combination of several peripherals. One time, I received a spare home charger, car charger, and 2 screen protectors at the same time. The only thing I have never gotten away with are cases. Sprint has an unusual dislike in giving away free cases for some strange reason.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] Hydraulic Jack:
According to HTC Wirefly is NOT an authorized retailer and they won't warranty any phones bought through them.....HJ
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] Tyzing:
Not sure why this would be a bother to me though, I've never tried contacting the manufacturer for a phone problem (they rarely happen in the first 12 months anyways). I have my phone covered from Sprint anyways so I'd just take it to our service center and get a new one ONE :)
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] bjl95mustang:
Where did you see that?

Wirefly/simplexity says they are.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] Paleryder:
I chose to upgrade an existing line on my sprint account when I look at my order its says add a line and shows the correct number, anyone else see the same?
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] aliveon2legs:
My receipt shows this:
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] Roman G:
Anyone know if these are being dropped shipped from sprint or coming from wirefly?
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] D3luSi0n4L:
So far all signs point to WireFly being bulk shipped an undisclosed amount of phones and then they handle their orders from their end. Unfortunately that relays to an extra day or so wait for us because the phones are shipped twice now - Sprint -> Wirefly / Wirefly -> Customer. If they can get them out tomorrow then those with Next Day Air can hopefully receive their phones Saturday (crosses fingers) - otherwise most Wirefly, Newegg, etc customers will be receiving their phones next week.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] 64mosh:
A sprint rep told me differently, that it's htc/sprint htc/wirefly so wirefly's shipment doesn't go through sprint its shipped straight from the manufacturer
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] D3luSi0n4L:
Interesting... Only reason I disagree is if this was the case then Wirefly would have the phones the same day right? Well Sprint has already shipped tons of pre-orders and Wirefly (according to them) doesn't have any stock in. It would make sense for HTC to deal with the primary retailers and then the resellers ( such as Simplexity ) deal with their respective parents, aka Sprint.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] Tyzing:
I just called as well. It is coming from the manufacturer to WF. I was going to change my shipping to overnight but they said regardless Fedex doesnt ship on weekends so either way I wont get it until Monday or Tuesday. Sigh. Oh well....Deep down I'm really mad though, I want this freaking thing NOW...never looked forward to a device like I am this.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] D3luSi0n4L:
Thanks for clarifying! Interesting they would be on a delayed schedule over the "Big 3". Ya I have Next Business Day and I wish they'd deliver on Saturday but looks like Monday it is =/

[Sprint HTC One (M7)] psu2fan:
Is anyone (or everyone) planning on getting the HTC $100 trade up offer? Does anyone have any concern about getting the rebate card? I read through the T&C and while Clover wireless is plastered all through the document it's not listed once in the paragraph about buying the htc one.

"To receive the $100 trade in value (or actual device trade in value, whichever is greater) in exchange for the Device you trade in, you must register valid email address on or before April 4, 2013 at HTC OneTM Upgrade site, you must purchase and activate a new HTC One by April 30, 2013 and mail in your used Device with a valid Proof of Purchase of your HTC One (copy of UPC or invoice/receipt showing the IMEI) post marked by May 31, 2013. The prepaid card will be mailed via regular United States Postal Service within 60 days from receipt of both the trade-in Device and required paperwork. Your new HTC One device must be activated and remain in service for 60 days to qualify for the promotion. Used Devices that are sent in that do not qualify either because a) the model of used Device is not eligible or b) the Device is not in the condition stated or c) does not have a qualifying Proof of Purchase will not be eligible for Program and will be recycled without any payment and any OEM incentives are forfeited. After your mail-in your used Device, you cannot get it back, even if you return the merchandise you purchased. In addition, you must accept any other Terms and Conditions presented by your wireless service provider that may include specific provisions or eligibility to a particular promotion. Failure to accept the Terms and Conditions, shall impact your eligibility to participate in this Program."

The above comment about Simplexity not being an authorized reseller worries me though.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] D3luSi0n4L:
I don't know who said that but it states specifically on Wirefly -

"Privately owned and based in Reston, Virginia, our company has been the Internet's #1 selling authorized agent for every major cell phone carrier in the United States since 2003."

Also a little further down -

"Trusted: We are celebrating our 8th straight year as the internet's #1 selling authorized dealer for Verizon Wireless, Sprint, and T-Mobile. "

I do plan on turning in my old phone for the $100 credit and I think the purchase through Wirefly should NOT be a problem. If someone knows something I don't please post!
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] psu2fan:
It was post #71, I didn't think that post made any sense. I just needed a little reassurance :)
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] D3luSi0n4L:
Glad to help! I don't know where he heard that, if he would like to come back in and provide some proof that would be helpful but as you can see, the site says otherwise.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] 001isj:
From what I understand about the T&C, the only real requirements are that your phone is a legit HTC One made by HTC and bought from a retailer, since you need a legit UPC and invoice, and you need to have signed up for the trade up program. I pre ordered from Wirefly, so I'll have an invoice for proof and since the phone will come in original packaging, I'll have the serial number and UPC. I doubt they will turn us down for buying the phone from another retailer when that isn't stated in the T&C, the serial number and UPC is what will matter most.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] D3luSi0n4L:
Do you know if we need to cut out the UPC code and ship it with the old phone and invoice?
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] 001isj:
I don't know that it needs to be physically cut out and sent to them, the T&C says:

"A valid proof of purchase is a) an original invoice with the IMEI number printed on it or b) a copy of the UPC code with the IMEI code printed on it. A copy of a UPC code is only permitted once as a valid Proof of Purchases."

It says a copy, so a picture might work, although it also states somewhere else that they won't send your old phone back to you, so it might be best to be on the safe side and cut it out, unless the invoice has an IMEI number on it, whatever that is.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] MSGaldenzi:
Anyone's orders actually shipping today? Lets Talk orders were delayed till mid May (They were the ones that HTC was sending their "official" orders to).
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] aliveon2legs:
Wait... you're saying that anyone that pre-ordered through htc.com won't get their phone until mid-May???
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] MSGaldenzi:
Yes... Read the other posts about LetsTalk... The cases that they were giving away free were backordered too as well as the phone itself.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] Roman G:
Well since my account still shows an upgrade even though I ordered from wirefly, I am gonna head down to sprint and pick one up:laugh: Then I'm gonna pickup the cheapest phone on CL for the HTC trade in and sell One on CL and hopefully come out ahead. Sounds like a plan to me:cool:
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] MSGaldenzi:
Thats an option, but I personally don't want to pay 1. Sales Tax and 2. 200 vs 120.

Also keep in mind, on the trade up program... not all phones go for the same amount and you have to pay shipping. If you spend $50 on CL, it still may not be worth it.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] Roman G:
Hmmm. I thought it was a guaranteed 100 or more depending on the value?
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] D3luSi0n4L:
It is, what he's saying is if you buy a phone for $50 and then pay for shipping, and etc you may not be coming out on top very much if at all.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] blizzake:
Wireflys latest post on their Facebook. "HTC One Preorder Update** We’re as excited as everyone about the launch of the new HTC One!!! Just wanted to let everyone know that we’ve got our order in and will begin shipping the Glacial Silver model as soon as they are arrive at our distribution facility. As always, we’ll ship the phones out in the order in which they were placed.

We still don’t have confirmation when Sprint will be releasing the Stealth Black model. We’re in contact with them daily and will let everyone know what we know as soon as we know it. If you’ve preordered the Stealth Black model from us and want to switch to the Glacial Silver, simply contact customer service and they’ll gladly make that change. Thanks again for shopping with us. We greatly appreciate your business and hope to be shipping your new HTC One very soon!!"
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] aliveon2legs:
This all seems quite strange. You would think that HTC would take care of the customers that ordered from their site before shipping anything to Simplexity, or any other retailer that is not a cellular service provider.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] D3luSi0n4L:
I thought the shipping delay was strictly with the Dev Unlocked phones. I believe the carrier phones ordered through HTC are still being shipped on time.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] aliveon2legs:
Okay, that would make much more sense.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] MSGaldenzi:
Did you get a quote yet? You have to get the code from the preorder email, then go to the site and put in the phone you are planning on turning in, then they come back with a quote. I heard some other people were getting quotes of $75... Even though, like posted before, Even $100 may not net you that much of a profit.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] aliveon2legs:
I thought you had to have the trade in request made by 4/5.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] bjl95mustang:
It's $100 minimum. My Epic 4g is worth like $20-30 per the quote. But they will give me $100 for sending it in and buying a One.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] ScrapSilicon:
you have to have been registered by April 5 to get the code to do the trade in request not do the actual trade in request by the 5th

has anyone who has ordered from wifely, received any notifications?
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] D3luSi0n4L:
Not yet, I'll update as soon as I do.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] aliveon2legs:
Right, so whatever he registered would likely be the phone that he would have to turn in. I wouldn't think that you could just buy the cheapest phone available on Craigslist, at this point.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] born2rock4life:
I cancelled my order. I had purchased next-day shipping in hopes it would be sent on Thursday or earlier.. Not to say WireFly has bad service. I'll let the rest of you tell me how quick the phones were received.. I just got buyers anxiety and had to do the dirty deed of laying down the debit card at the Sprint store.

But, let me tell you.. Well worth the cash. This device is a shear beauty, and a performer in all the ways it was intended. I can say my expectations were nothing less than met based on reading the anandtech review, amongst many others too prior to purchase. Hope you all enjoy yours!
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] aliveon2legs:
I got my fix in by going to the Sprint store and playing with it on my lunch break. Hopefully I have the real deal in hand early next week.

---------- Post added at 03:41 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:08 PM ----------

If Simplexity really doesn't have their inventory yet, I would be surprised if they go out today. I would think that they have to have them to FedEx by 6:00 pm EDT.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] MrTeddyChills:
Nothing from Wirefly yet...

Im soo anxious right now.

The excitement isn't worth paying the extra $70 at the store tho... I can wait..... Maybe.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] riggsandroid:
Perhaps there will be a mass email sent out around that time when FedEx shows up. and I think it would be 7 or 8pm PDT depending on where the warehouse is located.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] MrTeddyChills:
Not trying to be rude or funny but I really hope it isn't located in Boston....
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] aliveon2legs:
Their headquarters is just outside of DC. Granted, they may not ship from there.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] D3luSi0n4L:
I think you're right. They'll have their system email everyone once it goes out but I wouldn't expect any sort of updates until then.

http://www.fedex.com/us/servicealerts/
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] aliveon2legs:
The way their status updates are setup, it should update when they receive their inventory, since the current status is "Awaiting Inventory". The next update should be something like, "Inventory Received - Awaiting Shipment".

I'm not saying that's how it works, just that they're leading people to believe that's how it works.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] D3luSi0n4L:
Ya I'm hoping they do something along those lines, only time will tell.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] MSGaldenzi:
Too soon :crying:

I played with one in Costco earlier and yup, I LOVE it. I actually like the white/sliver too. I didn't like it at all in the pics, but in person its much more attractive.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] gobaers:
I feel bad for those warehouse workers, they're going to have to turn around thousands of units within a few hours on a Friday night.

I called in to change my shipping from "free shipping" to "2-day" and it turns out that, at least for my order, it was already marked as "2 day." I don't know if this is standard procedure for preorders with Wirefly, but it's awfully nice of them.

For anyone else waiting for this thing to drop, stay strong. $80 difference is too big not to wait. Think of it this way: If your phone were ordered with free 3-day shipping, but were able to upgrade to overnight ship for $80, would you take it? :)
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] aliveon2legs:
I'll let you be the judge, but I really don't think their chat staff has any idea what is going on. Two days from today is Sunday, and there is no way that they're receiving inventory on Sunday.

Please wait while we find an agent to assist you....

New facebook update from Wirefly. I hope that also applies to Newegg...
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] nhutpham:
Facebook update:

**HTC One Preorder Update #2** We hate it when things don’t go according to plan. To all of our wonderful Wirefly customers who placed a preorder for the HTC One: We are sorry, but we didn’t receive our shipment today as we had hoped. We expect them early next week and will be shipping them to preorder customers immediately upon arrival in the order in which we received the orders.

To make up for this inconvenience, we will be sending a $20 Visa Gift Card to all preorder customers that ordered before Friday 4/19 and are active. The card will be shipped separately within 10 days of the date your phone ships.

We apologize for this inconvenience. This is a highly anticipated phone and the phone is constrained nationwide. We thank you again for your patience and understanding. We truly appreciate your business.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] kenshi1023:
maybe htc is doing this strategically so to prevent as many people as possible from completing their $100 htc trading????
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] MrTeddyChills:
We have till May 30th to send it in I thought?
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] jaytv:
Not yet, just had a chat, and they are hiding behind the whole we are the Newegg.com store. Couldn't get them to acknowledge they were all Simplexity...
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] aliveon2legs:
No way. They want this phone in as many hands as possible, or else they never would have offered the trade in.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] kenshi1023:
but purchased and activated by 4/30 I think...

"you must purchase and activate a new HTC One by April 30, 2013"
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] nhutpham:
I went thru Wirefly's online chat and they upgraded my shipping for free to 2-day from standard...might be worth a shot if anyone else wants to try.

I just said that there is now a delay shown on facebook and if they would upgrade me for the wait.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] waterbound:
Advice..stay away from wirefly, they were a complete disaster with the EVO LTE. Just my opinion.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] 001isj:
I got stupid and impatient and cancelled my Wirefly pre order today like five minutes before they stated they were gonna give out gift cards. I went to Best Buy since they said online my store had it in stock and I have that $50 off any phone deal, but of course, it wasn't actually in stock. In the end, I was happy I could still order from Newegg for $130 with free next day shipping.

I'm pretty sure you do have to activate the phone by the end of April, because I got the trade-up email from HTC today with my code in it telling me I need to buy the phone by April 30th, so if you still have a Wirefly order, fight to get your shipping changed to next day.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] pelon90005:
they upgraded me to next day delivery without any hassle a couple of days ago..

on the other hand, sprint wouldnt budge on letting me have the one for 99.99 without a ported number,,

the best they could do is 99.99 with a new line..i told them i have the max of five lines already.. they said " up to 10 lines now"

so sticking with wirefly for 120 free next day and that 20 dollar visa card..

:victory:
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] benny3:
I called wirefly to ask where the he** my phone was at and some how i ended up with a canceled order. I dont think i'll ever use them again if they gave me a phone. They have the worst customer support i ever seen. Be Aware!!

Wirefly told me they were waiting for a shipment from Sprint.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] aliveon2legs:
Their headquarters is literally 4 miles from Sprint headquarters. You'd think they could arrange to get them quickly.
