Just got this too. I can wait. Worth waiting than buying one with bloat and locked. Remember its illegal to unlock phones currently that are tied to carrier and they'll have BS software on them. Nexus 4 works perfectly for me until my One arrives.
[One (M7) General] beuboy:
surely they jest

Hahahaha! these guys are joking right? "BEFORE TEH END OF APRIL" what does that mean? is this a government construction project funded with pork spending or a phone pre order?
[One (M7) General] taker888:
Wow, I just got the email also. Pshhh. Guess we wont be getting it until May as it seems. ;( I kinda knew this was going to happen. I'll wait as I have no choice because I rather freedom than to be locked down with logos and bloatware.
[One (M7) General] iFalcon:
I was in contact with Phil at AndroidCentral site. He got the same email and now posted it on the front page.
[One (M7) General] ThePhoneGeek:
Got mine too.

Flame mail to HTC sent!

What a complete bunch of crap.

Just an fyi for those of you threatening to cancel and walk into a TMobile store,

from the T-Mobile thread http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=40465201#post40465201

It seems like they also have limited supply and are catering to new customers first for the first week
[One (M7) General] zizo79:
Because most of us pre-ordered the phone..
[One (M7) General] daddioj:
looks like I will walk into att and settle for the 32gb model
[One (M7) General] crawlgsx:
Wait wait....

What happened to you giving me crap for ME cancelling and complaining?
[One (M7) General] daddioj:
not complaining. I just don't want to wait now. its all about waiting at this point. it still doesn't change my mind about the company
[One (M7) General] sofakng:
Hmmm... This was the first Android phone I've ever ordered and so far I'm not having too much confidence in HTC.

Delaying a product not once, or twice, but three times isn't a good sign.
[One (M7) General] aqualadb03:
I just git the email, im canceling my order. Couple questions:

1) when I cancel my order, will the 660 be immediately returned to my account? Or will it take like a 2-3 day transfer? I paid with my debt card on my checking account.

2) I plan to get the 64 gb att version, out the box can I put my tmo sim in? And get hspa+? I live in a refarmed network.

3) does att charge tax on outright phone purchases? In-store?online?
[One (M7) General] droidiac13:
Let's not forget Android Techy ;) I've been all over this story and posting in here for you guys as we suffer through this. I know we aren't Android Central, but we're trying so help us small guys out! LOL

http://androidtechy.com/index.php/gadgets/phones/27-htc-one-unlocked-developer-editions-delayed.html
[One (M7) General] SmiLey497:
No. The AT&T model would have to be unlocked in order to work with T-Mobile.
[One (M7) General] PapaRhino:
I'm gone, HTC can suck my ****, cancelling today and buying in ATT store, what horrible service, I'd be afraid to send my phone to Letstalk.

And yes, ATT charges tax on phones. 32GB off-contract from them will be $649~ depending on where you live.
[One (M7) General] mozezman:
Just got my friend mail as well. What a disappointing end to this saga. Not even the case, that is not in stock either. By the way I ordered at 9:47 AM on April 5th. I didn't even change my order to get the case and shipping free. :banghead:
[One (M7) General] stepinmyworld:
it usually takes 3 days depending on when the order was made .. because HTC took so long, my bank was able to add the money back to my spending balance and it's not on hold anymore but my saturday shipping fee is on hold as i added that yesterday.. and yes all stores will add sales tax in store.. and yes, the phone should work on tmobile with HSPA+ and LTE pending if it's availble
[One (M7) General] rajeshr:
Wow! I've rarely seen a company as disorganized as HTC. And this is for their flagship product that is going to get them out of the red?

Now, these "end-April" dates line up with the Samsung GS4 launch. I'm going to pick whichever one arrives first!
[One (M7) General] pdubcramp:
When I originally called two weeks ago on Friday the 5th to verify my identity, the rep was very certain to state, repeatedly, this was no guarantee of anything since they were unsure when they'd actually take delivery. Clearly LetsTalk did a piss poor job of updating the website and order statuses and then further distributing misleading or flat out incorrect information over the phone and otherwise. However, I'm sure there was someone (HTC manufacturers/suppliers?) that was leading LetsTalk to believe they could actually meet those targets. Just like you all, I decided this was the device that would be better for me than a carrier branded, locked device. For me, that decision still stands.

Good luck to the rest of you. Hope you all get what you want and ASAP!! :highfive:
[One (M7) General] tozfeekum:
I just got the email as well. Does anyone think this is utterly ridiculous? Imagine apple pulling a stunt like this, it would be complete chaos. I guess that's why Apple is apple and htc is htc.
[One (M7) General] stepinmyworld:
As much as I don't like SMUG Apple, i can't imagine them having an issue like this even with all the demand of their Iphones
[One (M7) General] slaveonepunx:
At this point the only thing keeping me from jumping ship to the S4 is price and the fact I have ordered a few cases for the One. If it wasn't for the $100 trade in offer the decision would be clear cut at this point. How hard is it for a company to meet the demands of its most avid customers? It's not like the developer edition is different hardware.
[One (M7) General] stepinmyworld:
being as though they said they'll ship overnight now, i am requesting for a refund of the 29.99 i spent for overnight(including saturday) delivery. i am not going cancel my order because I truly desire to have this phone
[One (M7) General] droidiac13:
I'm wondering if the 64gb phones when to the carriers first as they are HTC's main concern. If they couldn't make enough for them, they may very well have turned the non-carrier phones into the carrier branded phones.
[One (M7) General] Toaster Strudels:
This is pretty disappointing, but I'm going to be patient for the first time in my life. It's too much stress to worry about this. I'm gonna relax for the next 11 days and hope that the phone shows up and my doorstep.
[One (M7) General] turbocomppro:
+1. I have the N4 as well and I'll put it up for sale once the One arrives but I'm happy with the N4. Hopefully, they are delaying to fix some quality issues. That would be awesome if we all get perfect phones and the ones at ATT right now are crappy ones. :D
[One (M7) General] gtg465x:
I'm about to head out and buy an AT&T HTC One to use until my unlocked version comes. $35 restocking fee, and if ours aren't shipping until the 26th and aren't arriving until the 29th, that works out to a $3.50 / day rental fee. Plus it'll make me that much happier to be rid of the bloat and branding when my unlocked edition finally comes.
[One (M7) General] ToTTenTranz:
I just got the same e-mail.

The problem is that I ordered the phone through a friend and I'm only going to be in the states for a week.. starting 25th April.

If I don't get it then, I'll have to wait at least another month until someone brings it to me..

The scariest part is that they don't even have the responsibility of releasing a shipping date, even though they've already taken our money several days/weeks ago.

It's like they're treating the shipment of an already paid and very expensive smartphone as if it was an OTA firmware update:

It might be here until the end of the month, but if it doesn't, it's still cool because you can just wait another week or so for your $650 smartphone.

This is no way to treat customers who pay in advance.

I'll still be happy with the phone and HTC if I get it until April 30th. Otherwise, I'll just cancel the order and buy a Galaxy S4 in a store instead, and never think of buying something from that brand ever again.

Which is too bad because I really wanted HTC to thrive and I wanted to be a part of that.
[One (M7) General] jolejniczak:
Being my first experience buying from HTC/Letstalk, I'm pretty amazed at how horribly wrong this has all gone. I had originally tried to purchase one while in the UK last month but the phones were so limited that Phones4U would only sell the devices on contract. I'd bet that the problem here lies with HTC, not Letstalk but who knows. I'm a bit conflicted on what to do...I love the device, but would really like to show my disapproval by canceling my order. Maybe it's worth waiting to see what Google does in May.
[One (M7) General] daddioj:
just ordered from att website. 64 gb free overnight. she assured me it will be shipped today. and she has plenty in stock. we shall see
[One (M7) General] slaveonepunx:
That would be a darn shame. Do you know if your source is still saying Monday then? I checked android techy and nothing updated.
[One (M7) General] dbshane:
Not only 64gb, I ordered 32gb on 4/5 and also got that email. Still feel ridiculous they can't even fulfill the first day order
[One (M7) General] slackercow:
my biggest concern now: what happens with the trade-up program?
[One (M7) General] snappernexus:
Out of Stock. Next shipment expected April 29th

From HTC's online store:

Based on the email from this morning, looks like this is the next likely date.
[One (M7) General] iraqgsm:
and att disappeared from htc website
[One (M7) General] gtg465x:
You only have to prove that you bought it by April 30th for the program. Once we finally get our receipt, it will probably show the date we pre-ordered as the purchase date.
[One (M7) General] aqualadb03:
Did you get it on contract or pay full price?
[One (M7) General] dexx0008:
I ordered within the first 2 minutes. My email came in this morning as well. Priority was not given to these developer editions that is for sure. Taking orders on 4/5 for these and not delivering a single unit is poor organization and kinda sad. Especially considering that there seems to be quite a bit of carrier stock floating around for pre-orders and those in stores for walking in and grabbing. I could see this if all versions were delayed again but only these units just shows poor execution and/or not taking these developer editions/customers serious.

This will be my first android phone after several iPhones. My only other device is a nook color running android off sd. I'm not all that impressed by how this was handled vs. what I'm use to with Apple devices. As an Apple developer starting to get involved with Android the experience is thus far way different...

I'm patient so it isn't a deal breaker but it is a bit frustrating to see dates constantly slip and I understand those that are super frustrated. I'm just hoping for a device arriving in good working order.
[One (M7) General] monakh:
Just got the same email. Funny thing is that I paid for my flip case (full price) since I missed the pre-registration while I was travelling. However, the email mentions 'delay in free case' so it looks like it's one email that went out to everyone without any customization.

I ordered my 64GB Dev edition pretty late on the 15th though and I have never had to work so hard to give someone almost $700. Two canceled orders (one due to foreign IP as I live abroad and the other due to shipping address not being the same as billing). For verification, Let's Talk asked me for my SSN. I refused to give it and she asked me verification questions (the same as the ones that come around when you obtain your credit report). They are treating these orders like they are selling cell phone contracts. It's ridiculous when you are sending an unlocked phone, in your name, to your billing address.

I have been purchasing on the Internet for twenty odd years (since before the web) and aside from a horrid ordeal with Expansys, I have never had such a terrible experience. I vowed to never deal with Expansys again, and I will most certainly never give another dime to these mofos at Let's Talk. They can eat crow for all I care! Eff you HTC for doing this so poorly. And this coming from such an old HTC die-hard (check my sig).
[One (M7) General] daddioj:
full price
[One (M7) General] droidiac13:
I'm giving him a bit to handle other things right now, but I will get an answer! My normal job may get in the way today so I may not be as prompt as normal in getting it posted.
[One (M7) General] stepinmyworld:
HTC must be honoring the overnight shipment for FREE after all this hastle so I canceled my overnight request/saturday delivery - The lady Ebony i beleive said they will be sending overnight as soon as they get it. HTC is making their Job extra hard

I guess i'll continue to watch this sexy phone on videos and wait it out lol

that can happen, we all appreciate the updates.
[One (M7) General] dbshane:
I have had six HTC phones since 2006, and this will be my 7th. I like HTC phones, but other than those, they can't be any worse.
[One (M7) General] dexx0008:
We have an important update about your order. Due to shipping issues with the 32G unlocked and 64G Developers Editions of the New HTC One®, there will be a slight delay in shipping your HTC One® to you. We expect to have your phone delivered to you, via overnight shipping, before the end of April. We’ll do everything we can to get it shipped to you as soon as possible.

We understand the excitement and anticipation that comes with a new phone, and we are confident that the HTC One® will exceed that anticipation.

Thanks for the support,

[One (M7) General] americasteam:
Well, screw the Dev edition and Let's talk. Just picked one up from AT&T. Had to exchange the first one because it had a good sized nick in the side bezel. Second was perfect all the way around. :)
[One (M7) General] iraqgsm:
tell me do you like it
[One (M7) General] EggoEspada:
Well my order is now cancelled. Surprisingly, it went rather smoothly. It only took 16 minutes of being on hold and less than a minute of cancelation. I'm just waiting for my money from being held and I'll go into Best Buy and purchase one. Can't say I'm comfortable giving LetsTalk my money and further dealing with their customer service if anything were to go wrong further or any post-purchase issues. I wish I knew if someone else was going to carry the Unlock 32GB, because Ill wait for that. But I doubt it sadly, at least not for a whole. :(
[One (M7) General] iFalcon:
I saw the AT&T version this morning and pissed that the HTC Car Mode isn't available. I saw that on the Sprint version last night and it's very nice with great feature set.

Someone did determine installing an alternate launcher allows you to get the car mode, but at the expense of giving up some Sense features. I really like Sense though.
[One (M7) General] EggoEspada:
That's a big reason I'm buying from Best Buy (a brick and mortar). If something is wrong with the device, it'd be an easy exchange as opposed to working with LetsTalk.
[One (M7) General] americasteam:
Just got it, but I'm in love!
[One (M7) General] pdubcramp:
For those of you keeping your order, can you access your status or is it still routing you to the Customer Care page (https://www2.letstalk.com/checkoutnew/youraccountlogin.htm) that then doesn't allow you to check after adding your information?
[One (M7) General] iraqgsm:
according to pocketnow

No problems for me. Displayed my status changed to backordered as of this morning.
[One (M7) General] Toaster Strudels:
None of the stores are allowing me to buy it off-contract. :(

Gonna just wait.
[One (M7) General] dexx0008:
Just use the link in the original order confirmation, that should work fine.

It most likely just shows order date and number at the top with Status set to Back Ordered

Under the Order Shipment status it'll have a tab that says Back Ordered with Estimated Availability set to unknown

ps.FYI: I ordered in the first 2 minutes of site going online on 4/5
[One (M7) General] stepinmyworld:
i could have actually had the One today from AT&T.. they have 3 left at the store but they're only selling to AT&T customers and im not that pressed that I'd switch from tomobile for ATT when tmobile has better coverage in my area (philadelphia) its cheaper and they have unlimited data.

yup.. i'll wait for the dang on phone to finally ship
[One (M7) General] short/y:
Nope, not for me. That link in my original email now takes me to the generic Customer Care Order Status page and nothing I enter will show me the status of my order. I got the email so I assume my order is still waiting to be filled.
[One (M7) General] iraqgsm:
this is from phonearena as a member posted about the new htc m4

"The HTC M4, HTC’s second device that is expected to be a revision of the HTC One, will be made out of a metal-alloy chassis and the supplier has already been selected. HTC has selected Catcher Technology as the exclusive provider for the chassis in order to avoid supply problems like the ones it had with the HTC One."

http://www.phonearena.com/news/HTC-M4-arriving-in-June-with-metal-alloy-chassis_id42128

so how come carreir didnt have problem with the supply and we do, this is really piss me off.
[One (M7) General] Red5:
Cant. My link wants me to log in. When I put in all my information, it just refreshes the page and wants me to log in again. I cant get into my order status page.
[One (M7) General] americasteam:
That sucks. :( I had no problem. They acted like I was stupid for asking.
[One (M7) General] pennektj:
I just couldn't wait

I couldn't do it.

I don't trust LetsTalk to make this right if something goes wrong with the phone (warranty) and I couldn't wait. I want the phone now. I place my trust in the people at XDA to figure out how to unlock and root the ATT version. Good luck to everyone else, I understand why you would wait... and I wish had the patience and confidence in LetsTalk, but I don't.

I have had it for like 5 minutes so far and I love it. I was able to buy it off contract from the ATT store.
[One (M7) General] droidiac13:

funny how they place the power button in the normal spot and actually have 3 keys on this one (home, back and multitasking as the HTC One should).. good job HTC lol
[One (M7) General] SeanBlader:
No they just have issues with their phones going ridiculously over their data caps for no explicable reason, and phones that are potentially deadly by the navigation leading you out into the desert. So lets compare:

HTC:

Few days additional wait

Apple:

cost you hundreds in overage fees

potentally leave you dead in the desert

At one point Apple's navigation when directing you to head to the nearest airport from Apple HQ would direct you to drive right out onto the runways. Personally, I'll wait a few extra days, even if shipping and communication hasn't been ideal.
[One (M7) General] turbocomppro:
Maybe because they make more money with contracts then without?
[One (M7) General] slaveonepunx:
I'm having he same problem.
[One (M7) General] Red5:
People are still unlocking their AT&T version today... and apparently, HTC never locked down the OneX+ either... so they may take their time to blacklist the AT&T models.
[One (M7) General] sofakng:
Wait, what?

HTC Car Mode isn't available on the HTC model?

Also, can the AT&T model still be unlocked with HTCDev?

Do any stores have the 64GB model?

[One (M7) General] nullkill:
Posted this to their facebook page with a copy of email everyone else should hit them up too. They need some bad press about this.

HTC I would like to know why you treat your most die hard fans like crap. People who are willing to pre-order your phone paying FULL RETAIL. Would you not call them the die hard fans??? Then why can you not deliver phones to us? Why do you treat the people who want you to succeed the most so poorly but yet you make sure to get a huge amount of phones to all the people who don't support you??? People who would never pay full MSRP for a phone? You act like they are more important than me someone who has followed and loved your company for years.

I paid $650 on a pre-order for the new HTC One. HTC stated I would have my phone today but now has sent this email with NO DEFINITE ETA !!! QUIETLY BRILLIANT TO SCREW OVER THE MOST LOYAL OF YOUR CUSTOMERS????

Guess I'm going to cancel my let'stalk order. Going to order a 64GB through AT&T and it should be here tomorrow. They're both the same price for me since I am in Texas and at this point with all of letstalk's hassles it's better for me to have a phone that's got AT&T warranty should anything go wrong. I can live with a tiny logo on the back which I won't ever see and as far as bloat ware goes, it's annoying but I can live with it.
