[HTC Amaze 4G] kevinrubio1:
I was wondering if you guys could post any good build prop tweak I can add to my stock rom!
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] centex99:
Has anyone seen any in stores/etc? I really want the black one, but am running out of time to buy the phone and still be eligable for the $100 trade in promotion which makes it much more worth while. Most stores I've called say not announced... but one store said a few stores have started getting them. I'd even consider the unlocked or dev version from htc direct, but hence no black available there either...

I'm starting to wonder if the black is worth the extra $100 over the silver... but I'm not sold on the silver yet.
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] joshuadjohnson22:
All I know is they are over -150 orders in and they are just waiting for them to start showing up. If you cut it close get the silver and just trade it before the 14 days. I am hopeful that it will be either tomorrow or early next week.

I have not heard from a single person who has got it...
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] z0mghenry:
I've seen it in store as a demo and was offered one today but ended up buying the silver. I'm in Atlanta for your reference.
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] grukko:
What store was this? AT&T corp or other retailer?
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] z0mghenry:
AT&T Company Store

1580 Holcomb Bridge Rd

Suite 6

Roswell GA 30076

(770) 518-3188

It's the one next to Home Depot.
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] joshuadjohnson22:
That is awesome! Now I'm tempted to head over there lol. I may call to make sure.
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] ekerbuddyeker:
Best buy has them. It looks really nice
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] grukko:
Make sure you call before you go. I had three stores tell me the silver was in stock when the HTC one was released when in fact it wasn't.
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] phatalbert1000:
Display models or available for purchase?
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] Hemlocke:
If you trade it, even though it is the same phone, you are still in the hook for the $35 restocking fee, right?
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] joshuadjohnson22:
probably but I'm sure you probably can try to argue that it was suppose to be out the 19th and you had to get the rebate just to see what they said. I just talked to AT&T and it may be better news she said that the preorders and now at -144 so either they started shipping some or people canceled the orders.
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] centex99:
I guess I'll call some Best Buys today then... I bet they'd even price match Walmart's $150. I'll also try calling a few corporate stores again today, though I'm sure they're tired of people calling.
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] joshuadjohnson22:
keep us posted
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] grukko:
I was at best buys yesterday and almost purchased a silver one. They approved the price match with walmart without hesitation. Decided to hold off and wait for the black but it's getting really difficult.
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] Hemlocke:
I actually got my silver on the 18th, but no rebate, just the media link streamer. I'm not sure it is worth the extra $35.
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] grukko:
Just called them. They do not have the black in stock as I suspected. I doubt there are any black units in stores currently since the AT&T preorders haven't even shipped.
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] z0mghenry:
Hmmm that's weird....the guy I spoke with yesterday was sure they had them...:confused:
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] grukko:
Unless they actually checked the availability right in front of you there's reason to believe them. I've been misled several times already.
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] miketamm:
I don't follow market trends or tactics but if I had to make a guess. You will see the black show up on the S4 release date.

Additionally, I'm surprised BB matched Wal-Mart. The price match doesn't include wireless phones. At least that is what their policy states.
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] joshyy_rey:
my BBY said they stopped that practice. And I was trying so hard to wait to see if my Radio Shack was getting it so i could do the $50 Play store card. but they have no info on it. So I called ATT chewed them out and got the silver one for $150 free overnight and no activation fee. Im currently siting by the door lol im so impatient couldn't wait any longer:laugh:
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] sixk:
I heard the black ones scratch really easily well the international ones do or so I heard.

Anyone else have thoughts on this?
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] chuyqa:
There was talk of the back getting streaks and being a fingerprint magnet... But I played with the sprint one at BestBuy... and honestly the whole back getting marks/streaks thing wasnt really there for me. I handled it for ~5min, turned it over and back looked super clean.

my 2 cents
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] XDSaint:
After staying on top of this thread since it started, I went looking for answers myself as well. It may or may not be the truth but I thought I'd share anyway. I went to an AT&T authorized retailer, not an AT&T company store over the weekend, and was told the reason for the delay was due to some exclusivity deals HTC has with other carriers that have to clear before they are able to sell the stealth black phones.

I've talked to AT&T support and went in to the company store prior and this was the first time hearing something that makes some sense. I've not called AT&T back to confirm so take it for what it's worth. :confused: I'm not sure if they would even admit to it if it was true.

So the obvious follow up question to them was, how long is the exclusivity with other carriers and who? They couldn't answer the who but said the deal was for weeks and not months so we'll see if AT&T start selling them either this week or next. I'm almost at the point of giving up to just go with either the silver or S4 all together. :crying:
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] ivdown:
Man this is getting beyond ridiculous, the silver looks alright, but the fact that it has ugly strips of white all along the sides and a bit on the back just me turned off towards it. The black version looks so nice, and the fact that no one ever gives a straightforward answer about when it's coming out is making me crazy, lol. I've checked twice today about my order status, and there hasn't been any change. I was told the other day by an ATT rep when I called in to try and cancel my order that her supervisor checked, and that it will start shipping SOME TIME THIS WEEK.

If it doesn't I might just cancel and not get the phone at all. Idk.
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] Issemann:
Well, I hope it's soon! I have 12 days before my initial "trial period" is up!!
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] Simba501:
A bit of bad news.

About a week ago I talked to an authorized retailer who ended up calling their distributor to see if they could order the black; he said they could. I checked back when he said to and it had not arrived. It sounded a lot like those online Walmart order stories. Anyway, he called me today, said he talked to his distributor, and told me they weren't shipping the black right now. He also said there's no ETA. I think I'll just go ahead and grab the silver. Black could be this week, could be next month - who knows. I'm tired of waiting.
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] ivdown:
I think it's actually shipping!

I've never posted a picture here, but I just checked and they changed my status to shipped!!! Before it just said pending shipment.

Hopefully that means I'll have it by the middle to end of the week!
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] Simba501:
Hope restored!
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] ivdown:
and I just got the email saying they shipped it! I was honestly getting ready to cancel tomorrow if I didn't see any updates
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] xeni:
I got the same e-mail even though I just cancelled my order today and got the silver one from Sams Club. Let's hope they messed up and I am getting a black one also :).
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] joshuadjohnson22:
They do this. I canceled my order and they shipped it the same day. You will need to call and let them know you want to keep it. Man you guys are lucky. I hope they will show up in stores now. I can't wait to pick it up

Man, now all I can think about is that my order was placed on the 19th... I would have been shipped also haha
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] centex99:
a ray of hope... maybe they will get them soon!
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] joshuadjohnson22:
I hope this is a first of mas shipping. Just as long as they have them in store by this time next week I will be thrilled. Guys please post pictures and everything once it arrives. Also unlock status, roms and so on.

Did they always have a page for the 64 gb? https://www.att.com/shop/wireless/devices/htc/one-64gb-stealth-black.html#fbid=EHjZFmKb_8j

Also the 32 GB page looks different
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] chambers7867:
This is awesome news! ill keep calling the stores and trying to get more info on in-store availability.
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] CocheseUGA:
Irritated now. Teaches me not to be an early adopter.
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] xeni:
Yes they always had the 64GB page.
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] NirvanaIno:
Where did you ordered it? at the at&t website or by phone?
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] joshuadjohnson22:
Had to be over the phone. You can't order on the site yet
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] bdbx18:
Just finished packing up for SGS4 for its return. Through the link, the black one says not available in my region (west coast). I don't know why it matters. Has anyone have any luck ordering from a 'unavailable' region.
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] joshuadjohnson22:
call 611 and order it that way. I have not heard from anyone that has successfully ordered online.
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] _MetalHead_:
Just got off the phone with AT&T- no dice.
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] joshuadjohnson22:
You will have to do some pushing. Say that you just talked to your friend (one of us here at xda) and they ordered it just fine so you want to place your order. Talk to a manager if needed
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] Cl0ud7:
nodda in the stores around here....
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] Nickslife89:
update here guys, store in northeast ohio has the black htc one in stock this monday, i just got mine today and he said what color do you want, i was surprised and he said he just got the shipment in an hour ago. looks beautiful! I would have been happy with either color but yeah the black trim on top is easier on the eyes than the bright metal strips.

get the black if you can guys
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] joshyy_rey:
Pics or it didn't happen
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] shook187:
I thought I should let everyone here know that the only difference between to two phones are the color. And then once you put it into a case you will soon forget what color it was.

That's all I have nothing else to add.
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] ivdown:
Ordered it from the main customer service number for ATT 2 fridays ago
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] joshyy_rey:
I don't use cases. I roll naked so that's that lol :thumbup:
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] NirvanaIno:
Many Thx
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] chambers7867:
Can anyone confirm this? I feel like I'd this is true,HTC has fooled us! Thank you for letting us know this awesome tidbit of info......
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] grukko:
Wait this whole time I thought the black version was built out of unobtainium and could make me fly. Gotta go back and check the specs sheet.
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] ErebusRaze:
The day I got my GS3 IV (black) on launch the representative let me play with the stealth black One they had available. It was sexy. We went back last week but my girlfriend insisted on getting the silver one............. So she got that instead of the black. I live in NYC and Al the Best Buys have all color options available.
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] graffixnyc:
I was at the Best Buy in Union Square last week and they didn't have any. Do you know of a specific BB in the city that has them? Also did they have the 64GB or only 32?
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] joshuadjohnson22:
I'm on vacation in Miami and none of the local stores here have them "Only silver"
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] bdbx18:
Depending on the case, I suspect most cases are not going to cover everything especially since the speaker panels themselves are silver.
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] graffixnyc:
I actually got a Black Cimo grip TPU case on my silver now. It just came yesterday and I love it! It makes the phone look really good IMO and the silver speaker grills stand out. It gives it a really elegant/distinguished look. I'm still getting black when the phone is released but I have to say after I put on the black case on the silver I thought for a second "Wow I don't think I want the black now"
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] joshuadjohnson22:
I know what you mean, it does look great with some cases
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] joshyy_rey:
I had resigned myself to stay with my silver because I was pretty equal on both colors. But with people saying they ordered it and it shipped I called att. The lady was really helpful in trying to help me out she kept asking HTC one x.( which everyone said was going to be a problem for HTC) but she eventually found it and said she only had silver .she even called the supervisor herself and he didn't have any info
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] grukko:
How many people now has it been who submit one post saying they or the stores have it and then just disappear never to return? The trolls are many in this thread.
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] Simba501:
The interesting consistency is that someone says a store has it, they had the opportunity to get it, but went with silver. I've read that at least 3 times. I'm not calling anyone out: just pointing out a pattern.
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] graffixnyc:
I actually just came back from the AT&T corp store. They sold me a HTC Two in Black!!!! That's right! They skipped the one and are now offering the Two in Stealth Black. Removable battery and sd card slot and all!

:D Sorry.. I had to.. lol
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] ivdown:
When I was a little angry and called in on friday to ATT, the person I spoke with spoke with her supervisor for 10 minutes and had them look up stock and stuff, and assured me at some point this week they would be starting to ship them. As far as I can tell my phone is in route, hopefully I'll be receiving it today...though I'm sure I'll have to wait at least another day or two.

Of course I've been told a few different things like everyone else here, so who knows if that agent just got lucky and didn't really know.
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] seh6183:
My walmart order just went from awaiting inventory, to ready to ship! muahahahahahh Still hasn't shipped though.
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] pkp123:
So it appears that walmart has got inventory. My order status changed from "Approved awaiting inventory" to "Carrier approved". Attached image
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] FiveSigma:
Update

There's an electronics site that has the black version on a 7-10 day backorder.

Can't post the link since I'm new, but its a company name abt electronics.

Google method should work.

I've also noticed a status change on my Walmart Wireless account.

Email from customer service contained the following as well:

"Great News! Your new AT&T HTC One Stealth Black has completed processing and is ready to ship. As soon as it passes our Quality Assurance team, we will update our Customer Support website and send you another email so you can track your package directly on the shipper's site."

Looks like everyone should be happy within the next week or so.
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] phatalbert1000:
I can't seem to find the order link now. Also, has it been determined that ordering through walmart doesn't come with any special strings attached?

Edit: found the link!
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] seh6183:
I don't know what you mean by strings attached, but there is no tax or shipping.
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] phatalbert1000:
One problem I'm running into is that I can't figure out how to keep my 2gb plan. Seems like it is trying to bump me up to 3gbs. That's sweet that there's not shipping/tax.
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] grukko:
Grats guys. I'm not going to bother ordering online at this point since stores will get it before it arrives in the mail probably.
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] Simba501:
http://www.abt.com/product/69032/AT-T-Wireless-6049A.html
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] xeni:
They have had this back ordered since the 19th and the Best Buy Business website had it listed available since the 19th as well but for $699 and not on contract. I don't believe that this is accurate. Let's wait until tomorrow and the weekend and we will know more and if stores will have it available locally.
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] ivdown:
Say's I will have my phone by the end of the business day tomorrow :)

Knowing my luck I will get silver for whatever reason, lol
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] Simba501:
I'll/we'll be waiting :fingers-crossed:.
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] grukko:
Or the black HTC One X ;)
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] joshuadjohnson22:
Please post photos! Or maybe a video, we will love you a long time. But understand we will be jealous towards you until we get ours
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] CocheseUGA:
If it does come, I may put in an email to AT&T to see if they'll budge on their 14-day rule.

Stupid length, I thought Premier customers were supposed to be longer anyway.
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] joshyy_rey:
Ohhhh snapppp
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] JakeStGermain:
Why does it say its like 80lbs?
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] grukko:
They're shipping all the black ones to his house apparently.
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] NirvanaIno:
Why is mine skipping the carrier approval step?
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] cardinalryan:
I've got bad news for you homes...that's not your HTC phone, judging from the weight of the package it may be a television...the 80lbs strongly indicates this is not a phone.
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] ivdown:
booooooo!!!! I'd be so much more unhappy if that happened, haha
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] FiveSigma:
Wal-Mart Shipped

Just got a shipping update.

ETA 48 hours.

Will post pictures when arrives, if necessary.
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] ivdown:
If I get it tomorrow (it's being shipped to my work, so it better get here before 4:30) I'll take some pictures and a quick video of it with my iphone before I retire it; send it out on top, haha

---------- Post added at 01:48 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:41 PM ----------

I thought the same thing myself, probably just means they can ship up to that much weight for an order if necessary.

There is literally nothing I could be getting from them that would be 80 pounds from ATT, and both confirmation emails have it as the model number for the HTC One Stealth Black. The confirmation emails is where the hope lies for me, lol.
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] WTFunk:
Hate you just a little bit. Between being tired and reading while walking you completely fooled me right up to the removable battery sentence.

Touché
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] graffixnyc:
How I'm keeping my hate at bay is just thinking "None of them that are getting it are getting the 64gb.. so I don't care." lol Once people start saying they ordered a 64GB and it's shipping then I send evil eyes that way
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] seh6183:
My black just shipped from Wal-Mart.
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] graffixnyc:
Ok I'm in AT&T corp store on 86th street in NYC. I had to come pick up my media link from my pre order. They have 32gb in stock. Im having her check the system for the 64gb. You don't have to believe me if you don't want to. They are trying to sell me a 32gb black.

Edit no dice on the 64gb. It's not even showing up in their system but they have 32gb on stock for sure.
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] Simba501:
Thank you sir. You've been in the struggle with us lol. Legit.

Sent from my Galaxy Tab 10.1
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] WTFunk:
What got me is that I'm ready to walk into the store and buy the silver. Now i hear all this talk about blacks shipping but there's still no evidence and it's forcing me to wait longer.

Than you mentioned walking into the store and getting a black. My mind was so set on buying the phone already that I thought "HTC TWO" was an auto correct fail lol.

Hopefully we all get the phones we desire soon enough. Between this, the Nexus 5 and the new Nexus 7 I'll be done for the year... I hope. :banghead:
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] mminasian:
Did you buy one!?
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] WTFunk:
*foams at mouth* I live in the Bronx, right off the GWB, bet your butt I'll be making a small detour tomorrow before work!

Thanks for the info, you are being for real this time, right? Lol.
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] NirvanaIno:
I place the order at warlmart today, and it's already shiped!
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] graffixnyc:
No, in holding out for the 64gb version
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] joshuadjohnson22:
So close yet so far lol
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] graffixnyc:
No problem. Too bad they don't have the 64gb. I asked 3 times about the 32 though for the rest of you. Lol

How it went was like this. I went to pick up my media from my pre order. I saw the sales woman who ordered my silver 64gb for me. So we were chit chatting and I asked when they will have the black one. She replied "we have it" then asked 64gb? She made a face and said no she thinks they only had the 32. She was busy on the computer so she asked her co worker to look it up for me. The 32gb black she said they had in stock but she couldn't find the 64gb black one in the system only silver. I then confirmed again "but you have the 32gb in black in stock here?" She confirmed it and said they did.
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] hexproject:
May 10 is when they will have it... According to a rep...
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] megamaster2:
I will quote you on that.
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] justian007:
Another success story! Ordered today from Walmart's website around 4:00pm EST, shipped same day a few hours later! Can't wait til it arrives! :laugh:

Almost died wanting to know black info while xda was down lol
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] mminasian:
Same here man, same here. I ordered from Walmart (again) btw. I'll let you know if it ships tomorrow. I had it overnighted, so theoretically it could be there by Thursday. We'll see.
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] SpectreGadget:
My stealth black is on the way to be delivered tomorrow.

It looks like (at least right now) that Walmart has stock, since their page doesn't have the "Ship when available" tag on the picture of the phone.

[AT&T HTC One (M7)] ErebusRaze:
I actually regular the the Galaxy S IV forum so I don't check in the here as much as you would since my girlfriend has the HTC One. Next time know the circumstances before a erroneously claiming, "troll."

To the person who asked, I went to the Atlantic Avenue Barclays Best Buy. They had them in stock.

---------- Post added at 05:23 AM ---------- Previous post was at 05:10 AM ----------

The phone was for my girl. The Barclays center had the black One in stock but she's a girl and cares little about technology so she opted for the silver because I guess she thought it looked better. If I went the HTC route instead of going for the black S4, I would have gotten the black One. Geez, someone doesn't talk and all hell breaks loose. I've been a member since 08' and have 140 posts... I don't talk much.

Calm.
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] joshuadjohnson22:
I did the same, so does anyone know what method Walmart uses for shipping? Is it FedEx?
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] CocheseUGA:
I asked about getting the remorse period extended. I basically got told to **** off.
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] Simba501:
Like I said in my post, I had absolutely no intention of calling someone out. I only wanted to point out a pattern. I feared this would happen haha.

[AT&T HTC One (M7)] CocheseUGA:
I've gotten a lot of things you wouldn't expect over the years, due to how long I've been with them. It was worth a shot.

I will remember this the next time I'm tempted to sign a new contract though.
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] chambers7867:
someone needs to bother a few at&t stores today and see if they have them in stock... how does Wallmart have them before at&t?
