I don't really trust what he said, especially since it seems as though some people have actually done it. I'll be calling several stores in my area tomorrow (Monday) to see what we can do. I'll update you guys when I get a resolution. I'll be ordering most likely tomorrow.

That's a valid concern, I don't want to **** that up either.
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] joshyy_rey:
Everyone who wants to swap. I just suggest trying at every store of the company you purchased from. Most reps esp att ones don't know didly lol
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] CocheseUGA:
I was told point blank when I activated in-store that I could swap colors within 14 days.

For the people that were able to order the black how did you do it? I've called multiple times, spoke to escalations, managers etc.. They all tell me the black can't be ordered yet
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] prjkthack:
I would think that it shouldn't mess up anything, because you can't really expect everyone to keep the exact same device for whatever amount of time is required. There may be issues with the device, you may have to go back and exchange it for the same color, thus changing the IMEI and serial numbers.

Its a rather unrealistic requirement, and I would not expect it to mess up any programs like this one.
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] joshuadjohnson22:
Call 611 opt 3 opt 3 and say my friends were able to preorder the black HTC One can I please place my order. They will quote you 299 just fight it saying that they bought it for 199. If they say no just make a huge fuss and eventually they will let you. They placed mine with no issues
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] graffixnyc:
I tried that, They said it's not available. I called like 3 different times. However, I am asking them for a black 64gb which should be $299
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] joshuadjohnson22:
Just keep trying. It all depends on who you get. They all will give you different answers because they have no idea how things work. There were a few of us who got through. If for some reason they are no longer taking orders that is bad news for us all. This means they know it will be even longer to fulfill them. Currently they are at -37 orders, if they don't ship by Wednesday I'm canceling my order and will play with the S4 for a few days until they get this stupid phone in. I leave for vacation Friday so I can't allow them to ship to an empty house.
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] CocheseUGA:
I don't know how two companies could have bungled this launch more.
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] Skizzy034:
Stick with the One. I traded the One I bought first for the S4 and ended up going back to the One today. The bootloader is severely locked on the S4 and it's very laggy. The S4, right now, can't compete with the One.
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] gunnyman:
Remember trying to get a Nexus 4 from Google?

This isn't worse than that.
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] CocheseUGA:
Never tried. Read about it, but never tried.

Google didn't depend on the Nexus to survive, is the big issue here. You would think that a little extra effort would have been put in place to smooth this over.

But no. Shifting blame, silence...at this point I have to wonder if I'll ever get a stock update.
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] joshuadjohnson22:
Sad news about current stock of the black HTC One. According to the AT&T rep I talked to they have 2 warehouses and one is showing -159 and the other is showing -34. According to her she does not think either warehouse has received any stock of that device but she was not certain. It is a first come first serve basis so this may take a long time until we see black pop up on the scene. This is probably why they are no longer taking orders. There is no sign of them getting any in, no estimated date, it could be weeks/months before they start tossing these things out. :(
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] graffixnyc:
I almost wonder if Black is being delayed because there was a problem with them after they came off the line, OR maybe they held off because they saw the QC issues the silver was having and wanted to correct them before shipping the black?
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] joshyy_rey:
I have a feeling they weren't ready. I mean the image was found on their site. Probably put up by accident too early because I don't remember an official announcement. So they just started taking orders
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] chivamex10:
So we have yet to see someone post pics of the black model? Really??
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] megamaster2:
http://www.reddit.com/r/htcone/comments/1dcl1u/got_my_stealth_black_htc_one_from_sprint_today/

:D Someone got it. But from Sprint. Hopefully AT&T gets it soon.
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] grukko:
That's probably the first time sprint got anything before AT&T.
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] Simba501:
Finally got my hands on the device. Inquired about black, a guy made a call to make sure he could order it (32gb black), then said he could do it. Said it'd be here Friday (5/3) at the earliest.

This wasn't a corporate store, by the way.
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] CirgioD:
Last week I was offered the Black One, but only 32gig! Went with silver 64gig with discount ;)
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] CocheseUGA:
What a cluster****. I'm about at the end of my two weeks and no one knows ****. So aggravating.

I don't know why I want it so bad, but I do. The question becomes, do I return this and the medialink, or hold onto it and see about selling it once the black comes available off-contract.

By that time the next Nexus could be here. Sigh.
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] graffixnyc:
Well I returned the Silver I preordered on one of my lines and with that since it was a pre order I got the Medialink. When I returned the device yesterday they didn't mention I had to give them back the media link :)
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] irockash:
I'm still hearing that the availability is To Be Determined. Makes me sad... If it's out in the next two weeks, I'll wait, but may just have to go with the silver.
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] graffixnyc:
If you get the new gray double dip case color doesn't really matter :P

Although I do have a Silver, I'm waiting for the black then using my upgrade on my other line, get the black and then sell off the silver
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] CocheseUGA:
Might have to try that double grey if it ever comes out.

Just irritated at what I feel is a bit of dirty pool that might be playing out behind the scenes - get people to buy it and then a month later when you can't bring it back out comes the black.

I think I've decided to keep it. I got a code from HTC for the trade-up, so my 8525 that is otherwise collecting dust should get me $100. If I can sell my S3 for $200, I'll be ahead of the game and ready for whatever comes in the fall.
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] grukko:
I returned my preordered silver last week and got the early eligibility reset. Lo and behold, the media link just arrived in my mail box ;)

What to do....
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] e36eury:
When I bought my silver from the corporate store on Broadway in NYC yesterday they had black ones available. Sadly no 64gb versions of either color but they had black.
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] tehdef:
6 post account. Pictures or you're being a douche troll.
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] e36eury:
Lmao, waiting to hear how it's trolling to say that a store had something in stock.

---------- Post added at 01:00 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:53 PM ----------

While you're explaining that, perhaps an education on how to take a picture of spoken words would be handy.
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] graffixnyc:
Which store on Broadway? There are a bunch of them...
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] e36eury:
I was with a friend who lives by Cooper Union, it's about a block away from there. Had lunch at the Cozy diner 3 doors down after buying mine if that helps narrow it down.
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] graffixnyc:
The one closest to Cooper Union is

745 Broadway

New York NY 10003

I called them, they told me they don't have Black at all... I asked for 32 and 64gb
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] e36eury:
That's too bad, they offered me one when I bought my white one. The black looks great, but my wife has a black iPhone 5 and it shows every tiny scratch off, so I went the other way in the hope that it'll look better over time.
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] tehdef:
They don't have white.

trolololol

this guy
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] e36eury:
First, I've been a member here for much longer than you have. Don't act like I joined yesterday. Some people come and read, and don't post.

Second, I never said that anyone had anything as of this instance. I said that when I was there and bought MY white 32gb yesterday I was offered both colors. I can't be expected to keep track of every store's individual inventory in real time.

Third, you have no idea what trolling is, aside from the obvious trolling you are doing towards me.

As you can see from my attached purchase receipt, they had the white 32gb in yesterday. Good to hear that they were able to sell out. Now back off.
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] tehdef:
Dude. They don't have White.

It's Glacial Silver.
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] grukko:
I've found through multiple unpleasant instances that just because the AT&T employee says it's in stock doesn't mean it is. Surely someone here would've posted here with pics if they actually got it. As of now availability of the black has been only rumors and hearsay.
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] cardinalryan:
Jeez...you are really kind of a jerk.
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] shook187:
2 AT&t stores told me they only have "white" in stock

True story!!!
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] graffixnyc:
Ok I got this info from someone in corporate that deals with Better Business Bureau complaints. (I filed a complaint based on an experience I had with them that was basically a nightmare)

Anyway, they seem to be higher up on the food chain than CSR and managers. When I went over everything that had happened he had said he would be reviewing all the notes on the account and be talking to managers to make sure what happened to me would not happen again (basically ordered the one in a store, it was defective, they wouldn't exchange it on the phone because I bought it in a store, no stores had 64GB models so I couldn't exchange it in a store, they wouldn't give me a warranty replacement because I was still within my 14 days which left me basically high and dry. I had to fully return it, make them give my other line an early upgrade so I could re-order a new one)

Anyway, Of course I mentioned black. I mentioned that no one could give any info on when it will be available. He told me they do this so in case it gets delayed they don't want to disappoint people. When I had asked him if HE had any info, while he said he couldn't give me an exact date he did say "Very soon it will be available, within a couple of weeks but I can't give you an exact date in case we fail the expectation"

Now I take what these guys say with a smaller grain of salt because of his position in the company and I would believe what he says over a CSR or manager any day. Usually they have the power to do A LOT more and know a lot more than the normal people you call and deal with
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] centex99:
Most stores are calling it white... A few white/silver...

Still haven't found any black in dfw... I hope they start showing up soon...
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] BishopX:
Holy **** shut the **** up...

On a side note the red one looked pretty cool.
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] tehdef:
Mad Mad.

Sorry, but I don't appreciate people who come in and spout about seeing or hearing about a product that obviously isn't released yet on a thread where plenty of people are waiting in anticipation for the product. I'm going to troll him because he didn't even say that this might not be true, and that he didn't confirm it, didn't post pictures, didn't reference anything. Of course I'm going to be highly skeptical, and trolling everything. Can't claim to be a fan of the device, post on XDA (advanced users) and be ignorant to call a silver device white.
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] Simba501:
Hopefully, I'll be able to provide a picture some time over the next week. (see my previous post about getting a black one ordered)

Tomato . . .
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] joshuadjohnson22:
Might just pay the restocking fee and play with the s4 for a week or two until it comes in.
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] CocheseUGA:
And here I had convinced myself to live with silver. :crying:
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] joshuadjohnson22:
why couldnt they just have black and silver was backordered?
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] CocheseUGA:
They hate us.

If this thing comes out on May 3, I am going to flip a ****.
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] mainguy21:
i just left att 30 minutes ago and i spoke with the rep and asked him if they had a date for the black one to hit the stores and he said also the manager backing him up that they will NOT get em in the store for pick up..they are only for ONLINE ORDERS ONLY. da fuk?

so i asked him if i can take the silver one back to get the black and he said yes but id be without a phone for a week or so till it ships
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] e36eury:
It might come as a surprise, but not everyone lives on xda. I'm not aware of backorder or limited availability on specific colors and capacity. I just came to look through here after buying one for some info, and seeing a thread asking about the availability I posted what I had been told 24 hours earlier at an AT&T store.

It didn't warrant you insulting me then trying to get a rise out of me, I was just passing on what I had been told. If it doesn't meet your level of scrutiny, fine, move on. Don't be a rude jackass and insinuate that I'm lying. I never claimed to be a fan of anything, and if you go to an AT&T store they call it the white version, not the "Glacier Silver HTC One featuring Beats Audio". The Glacier Silver HTC One featuring Beats Audio has a white plastic edge and bands of white plastic on the back, it's fair to call it the white version. You knew exactly which one I was referring to, and just wanted to continue picking a fight. Grow up, it's a phone, not a religion.
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] chuyqa:
I honestly think they told you that so you wouldn't call them back.

I was talking to a rep and he mentioned some of his coworkers started telling people it was delayed 3 months just so they would stop calling back because of how many people were asking the same thing.
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] joshuadjohnson22:
Well I tried. I lasted a few hours with the S4 and I have it boxed up ready to go back to the store. Waiting for my Black One
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] WTFunk:
I'm following this thread every couple of hours just WAITING and itching for the moment one of you gives the word on availability. Was going to settle for a silver but something came up and now back to waiting for the black.
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] Skizzy034:
Just don't answer him back. He was like this in the One X forum.
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] GordonOSU:
Deleted
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] Simba501:
Why do you hate it so much haha
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] irockash:
Exactly this. No one at the store level has any info regarding its release. As far as I can tell, even their market inventory contacts have no info. They'll essentially know maybe a week before its availability.
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] joshuadjohnson22:
I couldn't bring myself to use it for more than a few hours. Its a great phone. But the whites still seem grainy at best and it was full of lag. That was after I uninstalled the bloat. My HTC One X is a lot smoother and it is less than half the power... Just did not have a good experience. I was really hoping I would like the phone. I love the hardware (except for the screen) My fav features are the button layout, the Red Blue Green notification light (capable of a lot of colors), removable battery, and the light feel to it. Displays are the most important thing to me and this one failed to keep up with my experience on the One X. I would prefer the One X screen any day over the S4. In fact if they just put a LCD in it I would be a happy owner.

Forgot to mention that the UI is ugly at best. Just awful like a kid made it

The black is on Wal-Mart.com doesn't say will ship when available like it did 2days ago

[AT&T HTC One (M7)] miketamm:
Why does WalMart have it before anyone else.? Come on Best Buy and AT&T let's get this rolling. On a positive note I'm glad I waited. AT&T now has 50%off with your old phone as a trade-in.
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] phatalbert1000:
I'm not sure if they have it, but they at least allow you to place an order...
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] miketamm:
Yes they have always allowed you to create an order. The point whodat006 was making it no longer states ship when available. Leads one to believe they now have the device in stock.
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] joshuadjohnson22:
I'm going to take a chance and get the silver tonight and use it until black is in stock. I can set up my roms and and a back up and copy them to the black phone when I get it. It will give them until the 16th to have the black and I think that is enough time.
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] joshyy_rey:
I think I've given up hope. I went and Ghost Armoured my silver. I wanted black but I love the silver too.
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] joshuadjohnson22:
I think silver looks great in a black case. The black and silver complement each other. We will see. I held a dummy black at best buy and wasn't over impressed. I still prefer it but the silver stands out for sure

[AT&T HTC One (M7)] CocheseUGA:
I made one last attempt and struck out.

I think I will have to settle for a case that covers the white parts completely.
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] joshuadjohnson22:
Just called walmart and they said they do have stock... I placed an order to see...
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] Skizzy034:
I agree. Yea the dummy one in Best Buy doesn't look as nice as it does in the pictures. Maybe it's because the screen isn't on.
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] chuyqa:
Called walmart, they said they have it in stock so I placed the order...

Estimated ship date is today (with next day shipping for 20$..)

I'll update if this actually ships out once processed
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] joshuadjohnson22:
I'm in the same boat as you. Fingers crossed!!

This is what Walmart's site said about the estimated ship date:

"The Estimated Ship Date is the date we believe your device will be boxed and leaving our distribution center via your selected shipping method. This date is calculated on a number of factors including carrier approval, credit status, stock status, etc.

We work hard to ensure we meet your satisfaction in getting your device to you in a timely fashion."

I have a feeling that they will see they have no units and change our status. I HOPE NOT. I'm afraid someone miscounted and mistook the sprint one for AT&T
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] mminasian:
The only ray of hope that I have is that Walmart has the best Supply Chain in the world. If anyone can get it right it's them...
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] joshuadjohnson22:
The only thing that has me scared is the fact that we have not heard from a single person that Walmart has shipped. Remember they were taking pre-orders for a while... not one person shipped yet?

But If it does ship I will be excited because it was only 150 :) so that pays for my s4 restocking fee and a little toward the activation fee :)
