Okay, this is just my conspiracy side of me kicking it, but i think they're doing what we use to do when i work there and pairing the phones with a plan, i could be very wrong, because i don't know how the systems work now. 579 + 30 dollar = 609 though, the only thing that counters this is last time i checked you couldn't get the 30 dollar plan inside the store, i wish i was still working there as i don't know how the new systems work.

I also think that is a form of false advert, no where on the site does it say 609 because you didn't do installments, it specifically say (screen shot ahead):

Below the box i highlighted also says:

*Choose your payment option at checkout. Total cost for either option: $579.99

I'm tired of these companies not letting their current customers go in and just buy the phones flat out, there is always some loops, extra money being taken out or damn near refusal. There plan are ****ty, the cheapest only 500mb data, the next limits 500 high speed then the rest at 2 G, especially when i don't talk on the phone hardly ever, **** like this makes my blood boil. /endrant

Picked up mine Wednesday 9AM at the 34th Street flagship NYC store. No issues, bought it outright, have a prepaid plan.
[T-Mobile HTC One (M7)] HoOnZ:
I'm also on a pre-paid plan but how much did you buy it for? Was it also $609+tax?

I'm thinking the same thing. I'm not sure I should complain and ask them where this phantom $30 fee came from? :mad:

EDIT:

So I think now I know what the extra $30 dollars is for. I have the $30 Unlimited Web (100 minutes) Pre-paid plan and since it's not a $50 or above rate plan then I was treated like someone who had no T-Mobile account, which I find a slap in the face. Ugh
[T-Mobile HTC One (M7)] elterible:
I can also corroborate the "backorder" to "shipped" status that people are experiencing. Went in-store to buy the phone but they had to order it for me due to lack of stock (Chicago, IL)

Ordered 4/24

Marked as backorded 4/25 in the morning

Marked as shipped 4/25 evening

Should arrive today!

UPS guy can't come soon enough!!!

As a sidenote, when I was backordered yesterday, I was tempted to cancel my order and take my chances on more store locations getting some stock in soon. Called a few locations, some had no idea when the next shipment was coming in, others quoted me as long as early to mid-May! Thank god I didn't cancel since it shipped later that day.

For anyone looking to pick up a One, you may want to order via customer service or at the store even if it's currently marked as backordered. May be a better bet than waiting for fresh stock to hit the retail shelves again...
[T-Mobile HTC One (M7)] vikramdhani:
Sue them it does not matter installment or not the price is same $579.00
[T-Mobile HTC One (M7)] knurdle:
I had the same thing, showed as backordered last night and I woke up this morning and there was an email from tmobile saying it had shipped and getting delivered today. Hoping the UPS guy gets here before I have to leave for work.
[T-Mobile HTC One (M7)] Russ36363:
Did another round of calls just now in Rochester NY. The consensus I got was they're supposed to get them in May 1st, but because of online/preorder demand at least 2 stores won't have any on the shelves until the 10th/11th.
[T-Mobile HTC One (M7)] milan03:
Ya now that you mentioned, it's $609 + Tax. WTF?! It has to be activation, but not sure why would they charge activation if I paid in Full?!? WTF?!
[T-Mobile HTC One (M7)] pchung89:
Notification for everyone:

Just got my HTC One from Perimeter Mall next to Dillards in Atlanta, GA.

Currently confirmed that there are 7 available and currently many have called and are planning to pick up. None are reserved. Anyone in Atlanta better hurry up and get it. Risked getting trouble at work and took an hour and half break just to get this phone.

WORTH IT.

Just found a place in the Denver metro area. The T-Mobile store in Lakewood off of Wadsworth and Alameda seemed to have enough devices where they didn't understand the frenzy of people trying to find one.

Come on in, they said. :)

[T-Mobile HTC One (M7)] blitz911:
Man..seems here in Hawaii, it's sold out:( I held off buying it online thinking I could get it locally..no such luck.
[T-Mobile HTC One (M7)] mykenyc:
So on your receipt, does it specifically say activation charge of $30? If so, then they are doing what we use to and selling the phone along with a plan so that they're not selling the phone outright and get something out of it.

[edit] This is my mentality. I don't believe this is right this is almost 40 dollars with tax, we are T-mobile customers, only difference is we pay less i have the 30 dollar plan too:

T-mobile is promoting no contracts:

Customer walk in store -> have 50 dollar no contract plan -> picks it up for 579.99??

Customer walk in sore -> have 30 dollar no contract plan -> picks it up for 609.99, WTF is the difference? I can see if they still had contracts,

but in my opinion there is literally no difference. Honestly if i decide to pick up this phone, they're going to have to show me in writing why i'm getting charged more.

Besy buy dot com

I ordered on the 25 and just received it today @2:37PM FAST Shipping!!........You guys may want to check them out instead of waiting for the stores to get them!
[T-Mobile HTC One (M7)] milan03:
a this is a total BS. The activation wasn't even charged. The phone price is $609! I don't get it.
[T-Mobile HTC One (M7)] Gamesoul Master:
Just did a search in our system of every Walmart within 100 miles of Milwaukee (just out of curiosity)... Less than a dozen stores had any in stock. Which is a ridiculously small percentage of our stores in that radius.
[T-Mobile HTC One (M7)] J-Hop2o6:
Tmo does this because your guys are buying it out in full. Tmo "lightly" subsidize it with EIP users. I did EIP and im going to pay it off quickly (~100/month). You have to go into a Tmo and tell them SPECIFICALLY you want to make a payment on the PHONE. Better than waiting 20-24 months.
[T-Mobile HTC One (M7)] milan03:
Why would they increase the price if I'm buying it outright? They should decrease, no?

Also, you don't have to go in the store to pay more than $20/mo. Just log in to your online portal and pay under EIP as much as you want.
[T-Mobile HTC One (M7)] LostMyMarbles:
Yep i literally called every tmobile store in northern nj.. lol i just gave in and bought it over the tmobile site!
[T-Mobile HTC One (M7)] mykenyc:
Okay, if that's the case then they need to put that on the website. On the website it basically says upon finial checkout your price is 579.99 whether EIP or not, so current customers should be aware of that or in writing.
[T-Mobile HTC One (M7)] Evolancer13:
Shows out of stock when I log into my T-Mobile account, looks like im SOL. I'm so ready to throw my iPhone 4 at the wall!
[T-Mobile HTC One (M7)] TrueYears:

[T-Mobile HTC One (M7)] gthmcty111:
Yup sure did I paid $299 for it! Ordered on the 25th got it on the 26th, sold my Note 2 for $475 and picked this up with money leftover to burn :laugh::laugh::laugh::laugh::laugh:

Let me see $99 down with NEW activation NOPE...doesn't apply to me.......$99 down on a payment plan and $20 for 24 months = $480 + $99+ $580.......hmmmmm and I paid $299 because I didn't want to activate a new line ....hmmmmm sounds LOGICAL to me....let me start laughing at the guy who takes the phone in payments...(are you that guy?) I certainly hope not!

[T-Mobile HTC One (M7)] gthmcty111:
Do me a favor and break it down for me since you seem to think that this is in some way a ..."bad decision"....to spend $300 when I did not want to open a NEW line, nor did I want to pay the $almost $600 for the phone out right....and I got my Note 2 for free and sold it for $475 which was basically free money.......please enlighten me I am always looking to learn something new....

[T-Mobile HTC One (M7)] TrueYears:
How are you today?
[T-Mobile HTC One (M7)] ricklhswood:
$99 + $20 x 24 = 579 (phone over 2 Years)

$70 x 24 = 1680 ( unlimited talk, text, and data over 2 years) uncarrier plan.

1680 + 579 = $2259 over 2 years.

Now you add $299 + Your monthly bill over 24 Months of your contract (classic plan) and compare it to $2259.

I believe you might be paying more. If you minus the $475 from selling your note 2, you could be paying the same as us.
[T-Mobile HTC One (M7)] ricklhswood:
Btw, I myself switched from the classic plan to the uncarrier plan.

When did u pick yours up? I took a visit there yesterday during lunch and had to sign up for a wait list about 15 or so names long (by my estimate)...
[T-Mobile HTC One (M7)] UglyShirts:
I've called at least 20 stores in the L.A. area today. None of them has so much as a single unit.

This is complete crap.

T-Mobile's own website and the entire tech press seems to feel that the HTC One has supposedly been "available for in-store purchase" as of a week ago. I deliberately even waited said week in order to hopefully duck the early-adopter feeding frenzy.

To review: I'm calling is a major carrier's corporate stores, for a very-anticipated phone they are advertising heavily, and in one of the biggest metropolitan areas in the world...And nobody has so much as a single phone after it's supposedly been "available in-store" for a solid week. And they not only don't have the phone, they are completely bereft of information as to when they'll see them. Some are still claiming it's "not even out yet," or saying they're "still waiting for their shipments."

Absolutely infuriating.

Or you could have paid at the most a $200 migration fee plus $99 down and got moved to the superior value plan. And not for nothing isn't Wal-Mart selling it subsidized for $148 if that's what you thought was best?
[T-Mobile HTC One (M7)] blackangst:
The only way you could've done this is with a classic plan as a new customer, OR as an existing customer who is eligible for a full upgrade. In which case, youre in a 2 year contract with a higher rate plan cost than the uncarrier plans. Either way, youre paying $579 for this phone one way or another.
[T-Mobile HTC One (M7)] benching91:
I have now called twice today. Right after I saw your post I called and got someone from T-Mobile that spoke minimal English and really didn't know what was going on. I tried again later after I was done with some work and here I am now still without an order for this phone. The language all calls have lead to me were that the phone is on back order and the best ETA they can give me is in a week before they even ship out. This is so frustrating...

I guess it worked out for you. :good:
[T-Mobile HTC One (M7)] ihateusernames:
I called 611 from my T-Mobile phone twice today. Early this morning I spoke with a guy who said they were out of stock but said I should try in store. I called all around my work and home with nothing available.

Later in the afternoon I called 611 again thinking if I had to wait, I would just try and order one over the phone on backorder or something. I was surprised for him to say it was available.

I have since received my tracking number and it is scheduled for delivery tomorrow. T-Mobile site shows shipped.

I feel for you. That's a bummer. I don't understand why I was able to get one and you are having so much trouble. I hope you get one sorted soon.
[T-Mobile HTC One (M7)] Paging Dr B:
It's like trying to find the golden ticket.

Im in SoCal and I've called everywhere from Irvine to East Los Angeles and have found only four stores that have received shipments. All four stores are sold out but are scheduled to receive a shipment over the next few days. From what I've found is that only the top two stores in these districts are receiving them right now. If you're calling around trying to find one just ask which two stores in their district are receiving them. They'll tell you. If you call in asking who has them they'll act like they don't know what you're talking about. For those closer to south LA, the Rosemead store is one of the four. I'm being selfish with the other three until I get mine. Once I have a ONE in my slimy paws then I'll let you know where the other three are.

I went through this with my Sensation, and my GS3. It'd be nice if for once a carrier launched with their supplies in proper order.
[T-Mobile HTC One (M7)] ihateusernames:
No kidding. This soft launch crap is for the birds. Launch it when you can meet demand.

I am really thinking a new shipment must have come in. I had read somewhere on the web that there could be more available on 5/1. At 9:00AM AZ time yesterday, there was nothing available. By 2:00PM yesterday they acted like it was no problem getting me one and it is on the truck, out for delivery today per UPS. How is it possible that no 2 people ever know the same thing.
[T-Mobile HTC One (M7)] :
HTC has certainly bungled this release to some extent but after dealing with this with both the N4 and the N7 I've sort of become used to this crap sadly. I haven't heard from TMobile in DAYS. I'm in line for one at the only local store that's getting shipments.
[T-Mobile HTC One (M7)] Paging Dr B:
UPDATE

The store I was just at gave me a little more info. It sounds like they know exactly when they'll be receiving more. It all comes down to how friendly the person is that you're speaking too.
[T-Mobile HTC One (M7)] TKH1218:
Forget going in stores, just call tmobile

I've been calling many of my local stores, but was not having any luck at all.

I read earlier in a post that someone was able to get theirs by calling Tmobile

I gave that a try yesterday afternoon, sadly they were out of stock and was on backorder.

I decided to purchase mine from them and had them put me on the backorder list.

I check this morning and the device has already been shipped and I'll be getting mine on Monday

FYI: only difference of over the phone and instore is the shipping cost

regular ground shipping was around $7 for me

and I believe they said overnight would be $27
[T-Mobile HTC One (M7)] isaster1:
After I seen it was out of stock on the website, I called in and was able to place an order for one. Everything seemed like it was going well, until this morning... Apparently it's backordered with no estimated delivery date :(
[T-Mobile HTC One (M7)] Becool0130:
Guys, I ordered a brand new exchange unit from them 2 days ago. It was overnight to me for free. Don't listen to the BS that others say about OUT OF STOCK.

I called mine in directly to Web telesales and received it the next day.

Even if they tell you that it's out of stock please still order it. They have told me 2 times that it was out of stock only to have it ship out at midnight :)

FACT: overnight is $11.99 not $28

FACT: Get a nice rep on the line and they will give you free shipping

Fact: T-mobile reps never know what they are talking about when it comes to if a product it's outta stock or not.

[T-Mobile HTC One (M7)] fireflamesniper:
I actually tweeted Tmobilehelp on Twitter and they said that the HTC One will be available in all stores on May 15th.

When i had my mom go to T-Mobile on Tues, they told her they didn't have it yet, and that i should get the Samsung Galaxy S4 instead... now my mother is convinced about it and keeps saying, " You will be happier with Samsung" but i say to myself "Hell no!" i have been an HTC person ever since my first Android phone, The T-Mobile G1 ( first android phone ever released if i'm not mistaken) no way will i ever change to a Samsung phone.

[T-Mobile HTC One (M7)] jntdroid:
In the DFW area, stores that received the initial shipment a couple of weeks (not all did) are are *supposed* to get more today. I have two that are supposed to call me when their UPS guy comes by to let me know, but they received some sort of official notice this time around, vs. the "hey, uh, yeah we're supposed to get some Tuesday" type of stuff they were saying before. I'll report back if I hear officially.

Oh, I tried yesterday and they would not let me order since I am not the primary account holder.

Hi Devs,

So I was playing around with the xml's for battery charging because i needed a 1% battery mod for clean rom ACE. Well I decided to add lines to the Battery charge XML so that you have full Battery Charge Animation (where it starts at the bottom and grows the full length of the battery and then shows the percent). I love it so I invite you to use it too. There are two files attached. One is the UNCOMPILED xml's (non devs dont just drop them in, they are uncompiled). The other is a working version of it for Clean Rom ACE (4.1.2) for you to see what it looks like

I hope you enjoy and use it.
