[T-Mobile HTC One (M7)] Hoggles:
Indeed...

I went a little further and started up a live chat with a Tmo rep. Lo and behold I actually got information that was not readily available. I'm still surprised, as chat usually results in no new info.

Here's what a little persistence will get you after initially being told there was no official word on exactly what cities and local stores would be getting the ONE... Now I know what store to go to next Wednesday morning :D

Chat Transcript:

You have been connected to !Sheryll B.

Scott: Hello. I'm curious why there hasn't been any official word when the HTC One will be available in my local store. Will it be announced in the next day or two? I am going on a vacation soon and need to get either the AT&T One or you guys. Thanks for the help!

!Sheryll B: Hi Scott!

!Sheryll B: I appreciate your interest on the availability of one of our upcoming devices. Let me check the updates now.

Scott: Hello Sheryll! Hope you're doing well. Thanks!

!Sheryll B: Certainly, I am doing just great and hope that you are too mostly when you are about to go in a vacation, I hope I can as well.

Scott: I'm very excited about the ONE (and my vacation) and would love to go Tmo...just have yet to hear anything. Either way...AT&T or you guys...I'll be getting the ONE soon :)

!Sheryll B: Oh no, I would prefer that you get into T-Mobile. Regarding the HTC Once, I myself, is already waiting for the launching of it. Apparently, there is no definite date yet that we have received as to when it will become available. How about checking another phone instead?

!Sheryll B: Well, let me check on further updates about the HTC One.

Scott: Oh well. I wish Tmo was a little faster in release dates. It's available on AT&T this Friday, so I'll be going with them. No worries. Thank you Sheryll. Take care

!Sheryll B: Oh wait!

Scott: oh. k

!Sheryll B: I've received a feedback from our Sales that starting April 24, the HTC One will launch in select Retail & Branded locations as well as on T-Mobile.com and through Telesales by speaking to us at 1-800-TMOBILE (1-800-866-2453) from a landline or dial 611 from any T-Mobile handset. 1-800-TMOBILE is open Mon - Fri 5am to 10pm PT and Sat - Sun 6am to 6pm PT.

Scott: Oh...awesome. So do you know if it will be in any retail stores in Portland, OR?? Thanks

!Sheryll B: Let me check into that and you are most welcome!

Scott: That would be perfect as I need to pick it up in person...vacation is that Sat. :)

!Sheryll B: Wow, it's already near and perfect timing. Thanks for waiting. In Portland, there are couple of T-Mobile that the device will be available.

Scott: Great news!

!Sheryll B: These are the T-Mobile stores which will be available.

Scott: Sweet
