Turns out this is a common problem with letstalk today, they are having email problems. Talked to our girl candra and she resent the email. My order says "ready for fulfillment" and that it should deliver tomorrow. Hope that don't change. Thanks for everyone's help.

Side note, Candra wasn't nudging on that free case. :(
[One (M7) General] droidiac13:
When did it change to ready for fulfillment?
[One (M7) General] ferincr:
The first time I tried to order from Costa Rica I got the confirmation email within minutes but then they cancelled my order.

The second time that someone did it for me and used my working email I never got anything I'm not sure if it is because the company's server is tighter with security and their emails don't include a from: address so I atributed it to that.

What I did is to go to letstalk.com and check order status and then with my email and phone number I was able to retrieve my order #
[One (M7) General] Toaster Strudels:
Mine has been on "ready for fulfillment" for 3 days now
[One (M7) General] bhagiratha:
That's why I will be using a SPIGEN SGP Ultra Thin Air Slim Case ..

Want to still see the beauty of the phone. Not gonna cover it up that much:victory:.
[One (M7) General] PapaRhino:
Mine's been set to backorder for like a week and a half :( Can one of you two screenshot?
[One (M7) General] aqualadb03:
Well since Im just seeing the order for the first time today, I can't really say. But I ordered this morning. And now it's ready to fulfill, so within the past 4.5 hours.

---------- Post added at 09:37 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:36 PM ----------

Pretty much did the same thing.
[One (M7) General] gridlock489:
Same here, the date keeps getting pushed back each morning. I remember seeing somewhere that there would be more units to ship on the 22nd but I don't have any kind of source for that. I'm not expecting it to ship before Monday, but if it does I will be happy! :cowboy:

I do wish that Let's Talk would give a realistic date on their order status pages though...
[One (M7) General] rockd0gg:
As mentioned thousand times already, it shows false information. Your order is not ready for fulfillment in reality. Your phone is probably at some taiwanese warehouse right now and you will get it on 24th at the earliest, trust me. Until then, it will keep shifting shipping date and delivery date from day to day. No way you got your phone in your hands this week!

Actually I had ready for fulfillment for days (ordered in the first hour) and still nobody in this thread received their retail unlocked/dev One until now.
[One (M7) General] htowngator:
Yea I'm not quite sure why everyone doesn't understand this. Everyone who ordered initially had that same situation until they correctly switched all the orders to backorder with the 18th as the new date.

Anyone who has ordered in the past few days will get theirs on the 24th per HTC's website.
[One (M7) General] rockd0gg:
You will get your phone with the first batch. If nothing goes wrong, you should receive your phone by end of this week (if you added overnight shipping) or early next week.

Your source is here: http://www4-shopamerica.htc.com/cell-phones/productdetail.htm?prId=41599

HTC says it on the order page that additional stocks arrive on 23rd. If your order does not show backordered and 04/18 estimated availability, you are in the second batch and you get your device around a week after those who ordered from 04/05 to 04/08 (before they closed down the initial preorder phase saying out of stock).
[One (M7) General] stepinmyworld:
issues

so Frustrating - when i first was trying to preorder around the 5th of April, i was someone directed to letstalk.com.. they took my order and payment but when i went to check the email, it said *cancel order request received* or something like that.. well i didnt cancel the order and I had to wait 3 full business days until my Bank could release my money back on my card...

when I went back to order the HTC One, the website kept giving me (website can't be displayed).. i tried and tried all day and finally the option to preorder for tmobile went away.

I am currently able to purchase the HTC One again because theyve been saying it's available and HTC will have stock on the 23rd but yet again, Im getting these website cant be displayed errors after trying to check-out my purchase.

so i guess they're sold out again... smh
[One (M7) General] gtg465x:
I pre-ordered a 32GB unlocked on April 5th and mine shows ready for fulfillment, not backordered. If mine doesn't ship with the first batch that goes out, hell will be raised.
[One (M7) General] stepinmyworld:
on April 5th? wow... amazing how we can pay for the merchandise right up front and it takes nearly a month for you to get your things. Unacceptable
[One (M7) General] Funkym0nkey:
Technically none of us really paid at the time we Pre-ordered it. We just promised to pay. Our cards will get charged when it actually is ready to ship.
[One (M7) General] rockd0gg:
Yeah different story for the 32GB, they have been showing April 20th when they showed 24th for the dev edition. It's just LetsTalk's silly system. The are somewhat dependent on HTC shipping those devices thus they are not the ones to blame if anything goes wrong. Who knows how many orders they actually can fulfill with the first delivery of phones? 100, 1000 ? How many are defective? Will they arrive at LetsTalk on time? However, this all is just a big fail. I am curious if HTC finally makes to get proper amounts of phones in our hands before Samsung's S4 avalanche hits the market and wipes all HTC from shelves. And we are talking about millions of phones. Samsung will certainly not have this kind of production choke points!

PS: I bet HTC servers will break down tomorrow from us hitting F5 all day long.
[One (M7) General] stepinmyworld:
well technically my money came off my card when I pre-ordered and i couldnt get it back on my available balance until 3 days had gone by and it wasn't withdrawn completely from my account. Banks consider those preorders as debit/payments
[One (M7) General] PapaRhino:
I placed my order on the 7th and was never charged :P
[One (M7) General] gtg465x:
Exactly. We haven't been charged yet. If I wanted to, I could still call and cancel my pre-order.

Edit: And even a test charge isn't technically using your money if it's credit.
[One (M7) General] Funkym0nkey:
It is still a credit. It is not your money until you get that amount billed. Only case where money does come from your bank is when you use debit card. Even then money does not go to the vendor until he claims it. It stays with the bank.

Bank considers these orders as Outstanding authorisation payments. They are billed to the customer only when the company claims the amount.

Credit is still credit in the end. And when this batch of pre orders from HTC started, we all knew when it was going to be released. Unless they completely miss this launch window, you agreed to this willingly.

Honestly I hate preorders. But when you know supply issues exists, this is the only way to get these things sooner.
[One (M7) General] stepinmyworld:
I get that but for my checking-debit card, my company places the hold on the money and i'm not even able to touch it if letstalk cancels it (like they did right after my order).. i couldnt touch that money for 3 days because my bank wanted to make sure it wouldnt be taken by letstalk

it's all very annoying man. i dont currently have a phone because i thought i'd wait a week and change without one and get my HTC One but now i may have to take my chances with t-mobile on the 24th when few are released in store... im guessing i'll need to take that day off and call around to see which line i need to be in early in the morning.

HTC released a report where they said their manufacturing woes have gotten significantly better but this doesnt seem to be the case in reference to the HTC One
[One (M7) General] stevedebi:
Man, just some advice, NEVER pay for online purchases with a debit card. They do not have the buyer protection that the credit cards are required to have by law. With a CC you are only responsible for fraudulent use up to $50. With a debit card, it is up to the bank, but in theory they could clean out your banking account and you have no recourse.
[One (M7) General] expertzero1:
Charging on a credit card is so much easier. I love american express ;) paid no interest within the past 2 years. Pay with credit. Then pay it off at the end with the debit. Cash back and reward points is lovely
[One (M7) General] stepinmyworld:
Nice advice thanks
[One (M7) General] brekec88:
They charged my card $668 10 seconds after I ordered yesterday...
[One (M7) General] daddioj:
I know I love American express. I disputed newegg for my note 2 because they would not replace it. even when I was within my 30 days. disputed it with them. they took it off my bill and I got to keep the phone. plus American express give you one extra year of warranty as well
[One (M7) General] iFalcon:
If you used a credit card, it's only a pre-authorization.
[One (M7) General] expertzero1:
It should be under temporary authorizations. Then it goes away within a few days. Then it will reappear when it ships

---------- Post added at 01:51 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:51 PM ----------

Oh nice! lol! did you sell the note or still use it?
[One (M7) General] daddioj:
Sold. I will never buy from newegg Again! since they went corp
[One (M7) General] mahesh_9j:
It's 18 April here in India 03.39AM 04/18/2013 :)
[One (M7) General] stepinmyworld:
so I went home and was able to go through with the order.. once again, letstalk.com cancelled my order again... what the heck is going on... and they dont answer the phone

Purchase-

LETSTALK.COM* 877-825-5460 TX	Telecommunication Services	-$708.93

Order Date	Order Number	Amount	Status	Tracking Number

I didnt cancel the request...

about to just get a dang on Iphone and b done with it
[One (M7) General] expertzero1:
Call 1800 570 5385

Let me know what they say!
[One (M7) General] stevedebi:
I just noticed this last sentence on the Dev edition. I don't think it was there before. Anyone know exactly what they mean?

"Note: With an unlocked bootloader, some content on your device may also be invalidated and cannot be accessed anymore because of invalid DRM security keys. This includes content that you may have purchased through a 3rd party vendor and through HTC."
[One (M7) General] stepinmyworld:
i'll have to wait until im at work tomorrow as i don't currently have a phone on me. this is the second time this has happened in two weeks time. not even going to do it again unless im able to order over the phone with someone. very very annoying. terrible on HTC's part to have a second party handling their product and dont even provide an email or reason why they would cancel an order just made and not give a reason why

Samsung is much more Organized and i see why i havent had issues with them or just purchasing right from tmobile when it's availble. (the fact is, it says it's available for HTC and i get this crap.) amazing
[One (M7) General] expertzero1:
What edition did you order? T-Mobile? Possibly they will not sell it via their site since its gone.

About Samsung. They don't sell their products via their site except the sgs3 Dev edition for verizon. But no one bought it. So we will never know if they will faced the same issues.

Up till now, everything is running smooth with the expected ship date for tomorrow
[One (M7) General] stepinmyworld:
I ordered the unlocked 64GB Deveopers edition - it said available and took me always through the process and gave me my order number.. after not receiving an email for like 5 minutes, i manually went to the website and checked order status and it said my order has been cancelled by request... well i never made the request and again, i'll need to wait 3 days to get my money back onto my spending balance..

i'm learning my lesson. just leave this damn phone alone is what im being told
[One (M7) General] pdubcramp:
Make the call through Google Voice?
[One (M7) General] expertzero1:
Interesting. All your billing info is located in the us with a us IP? Try calling using Skype or something
[One (M7) General] Nyxagamemnon:
It's there fraud checking tools, Just give them a call you'll answer some questions and they will update the order.
[One (M7) General] gtg465x:
Well, apparently when you unlock the bootloader on recent HTC devices, a few Sense applications disappear (Calculator, Flashlight, and Sound Recorder). So the dev edition may come without those apps. Wonder if the dev edition will also be unable to receive OTA updates like other bootloader unlocked HTC devices. That would be lame.

Glad I ordered the 32GB unlocked, but I've gone lame this past year so my priorities are different than most here. Lately I tend to run devices stock. Even my Nexus. Don't have much desire to root and ROM anymore. Just want a reliable device to enjoy.
[One (M7) General] stepinmyworld:
i cant do the google voice thing because i think it needs your actual phone to be on and have the sim in it.. i dont have a phone at all because i was going to wait out and just purchase the htc one.
[One (M7) General] droidiac13:
I just thought of this and maybe it will help you. Many debit cards have a maximum transaction amount limit on them. The normal default is $500. It's a consumer protection thing. Call your bank and ask them if this is the case. I know this because I tried buying a TV once and had my card declined. I called my bank to ask why and that's how I found out. If this is the case for you, I'll bet that's why it keeps getting canceled. I hope this helps.
[One (M7) General] Nyxagamemnon:
It's not the bank It's there fraud tools when you make a purchase through them they run every transaction through a set of external tools and it flags and automatically holds/cancels transactions if certain things are within there settings/limits /whatever they set. You just have to call them and verify who you are and they will release the order.
[One (M7) General] stepinmyworld:
omg.. this number is working so far.. im using skype!... on hold with a lady right now... thank you and thanks to the person that mentioned google talk and skype.. hopefully im not disconnected
[One (M7) General] droidiac13:
Well then. What the hell do I know.

Check out GrooveIP next time, allows calls via gv from even tablets....

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.snrblabs.grooveip
[One (M7) General] stevedebi:
Yeah, I'm not planning to root this one either. I went with this model because T-Mo doesn't have the 64Gb option, and there is a fair amount of 4g 1900 here where I live (so the AWS lack isn't too bad). But I'm seriously wondering if I shouldn't just go ahead with the T-Mo version.
[One (M7) General] stepinmyworld:
thanks all! apparently when it says "cancellation requested" that doesnt mean your order is canceled... my very first order on april 5th actually says

"Back Ordered" and the very very very nice female said i should be getting my phone in a couple of days and the original charge should be made to my account so she had to call my bank while i was on the phone, get the fax number to send the release funds form so the order from today will go back into my account and im not being charged for two orders. she was so so so so nice by walking me through everything. my skype hung up when the menu from the bank hung up and disconnected us while she went and did the fax.. i trust that it's all gonna work out. hopeully im getting my phone in a day or two with the original release and even if it's next week, im ok with that.

THANKS ALLL!!!!!
[One (M7) General] ggabriele3:
FWIW, I called HTC a few days ago to see if I could get overnight shipping / free case added to the order, since I was eligible.

The guy I spoke to was very cool - just chatted with me for a while about the phone and asked why I chose to buy the dev edition off-contract.

He said they'd do their best to sort out the situation. I thanked him, but told him that if any of this would affect my ship date, i'd rather get the phone faster, and to not bother changing it.

So, tonight, I noticed that my order was just changed from Standard --> Overnight shipping for free, but the price of the case hasn't changed.
[One (M7) General] stepinmyworld:
i told the female i spoke with the same thing.. please dont make any changes if it will hinder my order lol but she said it wont and i have faith in her. she was very kind.
[One (M7) General] Funkym0nkey:
Seriously though. I have never had this much trouble paying someone to but stuff online. Never ever before. It's almost as if HTC did not want me to buy their phone.

Letstalk seems to be stuck in 1999. It's effin ecommerce website. Start acting like it.

God awful of HTC to use such service as their official preorder and sales partner. Just plain awful.

From my Droid DNA, right in your face....
[One (M7) General] americasteam:
I think everyone in here agrees, but most are just glad to have the option to buy the Developer Edition. Even if it's a little more trouble. ;)
[One (M7) General] expertzero1:
What kind of trouble?

Only issues ive seen is people buying the phones when they dont live in the us, but have a shipping adress in the us (ip address), dont have a us shipping adress (us only), purchasing with a debit card (fraud protection),
[One (M7) General] nullkill:
I for one am thankful. If you wanted the phone you saw the problem and got in contact with them if they didn't get in contact with you. Yes it was a extra step boo hoo hoo. I mean how much would you be raging if a company put a $650 charge through when there were flags and didn't verify???????
[One (M7) General] americasteam:
It's not really a big deal for me, but I could have done without the 30 minutes on hold before getting to talk to customer service. Also, half of the questions they asked had no true answer. ;) All in all, Let's Talk has a very amateurish operation. Glad to be able to order the Dev edition though.
[One (M7) General] expertzero1:
They were probably bombarded that day. They probably or most likely didnt expect an influx of calls for the device. For example, iPhone launch day/week, took 1+ hour on the phone with any carrier to talk to a representative to fix some things on the line/account.

I called last week on the 11th. Finished in 3 minutes. The lady that I talked to was very helpful and professional..
[One (M7) General] CraigP17:
Other than me wishing I had my phone right now... I had no issues. I ordered the 12th. Got email right away. My bank called me to confirm the purchase. No issues since. Just waiting to see when it actually ships.
[One (M7) General] rockd0gg:
^ Same here. I chatted, very nice and helpful, added case and overnight shipping for free and all was done in less than 5 minutes. Until now, I can't complain about LetsTalk at all. We'll see how it goes once I return the phone due to gaps, misaligned screen or stuck pixels.
[One (M7) General] woodekx:
Really, you cant wait to get something, you cant wait to send back? I hope your jokin'.
[One (M7) General] Dartman-x:
Well, now I am a bit nervous. I ordered the Developer edition never intending to root or load custom ROMs - I just wanted a "bloat-free" device and hopefully get OTA updates earlier than an ATT version. If I can't get OTA updates at all, and can't play DRM music or perhaps even stream Netflix, I made a mistake. Anyone else know anything about this (I realize it's unlikely until sometime on Friday)? I guess worst case is that I can see if my local ATT has one in stock (hopefully Friday) and then return the Dev model to LetsTalk w/in 14 days ...
[One (M7) General] robstunner:
Try calling Google about the nexus 4 sometime and get back to me about LetsTalk :P
[One (M7) General] americasteam:
I was in on that fiasco. :(
[One (M7) General] daddioj:
dev editions are already bootloader unlocked. so whats going to go missing? nothing I would assume
[One (M7) General] htowngator:
Dev won't have those restrictions. This is an entirely different animal. It doesn't have carrier restrictions on upgrades or required bloatware for things to work. DRM will be fine. I haven't heard of anyone not being able to watch Netflix, HBO Go, etc.
[One (M7) General] daddioj:
I'm not too crazy about OTA updates anyway. even if that's the case. I like to wipe device and download full rom package. problem free. but that's just me :good:
[One (M7) General] droidiac13:
I love me some OTA's. They always make the phone so bug free :confused:
[One (M7) General] htowngator:
Plus any serious OTA's will only likely be 4.2.2 and even then I'm sure the devs will be all over it.

I plan on running a stock ROM with speed enhancements (like Mike's Revolution HD) and a battery saving OC/UV kernel.
[One (M7) General] daddioj:
reason I don't like OTA's and clean installs. is bc they don't always play so nice with installed apps. but its just a pref. that's all :good:
[One (M7) General] PapaRhino:
You don't think the One will see Key Lime Pie?

I'm probably going to use AOKP or a port of it, I love me some AOKP, either that or some other stupid looking custom ROM. I'll be trying out stock for a while though with tweaks so I can hold back for the menu button, I know I wouldn't be able to stand that black bar lol

Tomorrow's the day of truth! *fingers crossed* I hope everyone get their phone shipped ^_^
[One (M7) General] zizo79:
At least I got free overnight shipping...how about you?
[One (M7) General] htowngator:
Honestly? Not anytime soon. I'd say maybe end of the year, early 2014.
[One (M7) General] Fromako:
You don't need to worry about anything like that. The people talking about apps getting removed and potentially not getting OTAs are the ones who have unlocked the bootloader themselves which is something you wouldn't have to do.
[One (M7) General] zizo79:
Seriously, HTC needs to get rid of Letstalk. The lady I spoke to today assured me that AT&T's HTC One was released on the 16th
[One (M7) General] CraigP17:
I can afford $18...lol funny
[One (M7) General] htowngator:
Sucks not to get it free :p
[One (M7) General] PapaRhino:
They did ship them out on the 16th :P
[One (M7) General] CraigP17:
I can call and do what everyone else did and get it free too. But everything has gone smooth so far and maybe they will take care of paying customers first :)
[One (M7) General] zizo79:
I do know that but the fact is she's saying that it launched on the 16th and the her notes are telling her that.
