Maybe your status will change as mine did. Check your order link. I have been....ALL DAY Simply calm down. Going as far as not knowing me and calling me a liar is going far, and being bitter. We are all waiting.

I am not giving you my order #, I showed a screen shot. That is what I'm giving. Take it or leave it :cool:
[One (M8) General] minieod:
so you wont show a screen shot of your invoice that states its dev edition gold?
[One (M8) General] Win_Wizard:
[MENTION=1468652]charlieb620[/MENTION] you lucky bastard. That is all...
[One (M8) General] CB620:
Anymore request???
[One (M8) General] minieod:
well then that is super shady of htc to give out false information to people. oh well.

thanks !
[One (M8) General] CB620:
Have no reason to lie bro. If i knew you personally I would give you my order #....

I'm just as surprised as you are.
[One (M8) General] surge27:
Ready to ship...FTMFW!!!

Why is there drama here now?!
[One (M8) General] CB620:
Your status changed too?!?!?!?!?!

If it did you should be getting tracking shortly....
[One (M8) General] AnDruid:
Sigh... Mine is still in "Picking and Packing" as well. Placed my order on 3/26 for a Grey Dev edition.

It may be that nobody ordered a Dev edition in gold color and so they were able to ship yours so soon :)

Sure is tough waiting.
[One (M8) General] minieod:
a discussion / debate does not imply drama...people use that word way too loosely
[One (M8) General] surge27:
Umm...ok. did I offend u or somethin?!
[One (M8) General] daorderdillon:
hey surge did u add me to hangout ?
[One (M8) General] jtc276:
Uh, I'm getting pretty anxious here. I ordered the Gunmetal version on the 26th at around 4 PM. I think my F5 key is going to break.:p
[One (M8) General] y2jdmbfan:
I ordered mine on the 25th...Still picking!
[One (M8) General] EvoKnvl:
It's also entirely possible that they are generating Shipping Labels with the intent of Shipping it tomorrow. I believe that's what happened last year for my M7, but I'm not entirely sure. Either way, congrats if it goes out today. charlieb620 has probably be the most active person on this thread, helping out and calling....
[One (M8) General] CB620:
Keep a eye on your order link...I'm having people on different forums hangout me saying they have tracking #s for DEV editions as well.
[One (M8) General] brabusamg55:
any gunmetal grey among those?
[One (M8) General] CB620:
Gunmetal and Gold, haven't heard much about Silver atm.
[One (M8) General] jtc276:
Can I join that Hangout?
[One (M8) General] minieod:
no silver dev edition right?

only gunmetal and gold, i thought
[One (M8) General] surge27:
Yup. ... just gunmetal and gold
[One (M8) General] CB620:
It is individual convo not a group

posted my hangout a couple pages back

---------- Post added at 05:29 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:29 PM ----------

Of the people I spoke to majority is gunmetal and some gold.

---------- Post added at 05:40 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:29 PM ----------

For all the non believers....YES MY INFO IS EDITED OUT....
[One (M8) General] kirdroid:
For what it's worth on the HTC site the gold version says in stock for both the unlocked and dev editions. For the gunmetal it shows in stock only for unlocked.
[One (M8) General] CB620:
Guess dev editions came in a day early.
[One (M8) General] mizerab1e:
Just received an email from HTC, my amber gold developers edition shipped out today, and will arrive tomorrow! Definitely shipped a day early than I expected, but no complaints here^^

I plan on doing a through inspection and give a feedback on here if anyone is interested. Let me know if there is anything you are looking for that I can do!
[One (M8) General] CB620:
Congrats.
[One (M8) General] jtc276:
The first person who receives a dev edition has to tell everyone if it comes with a case like the UK model does and the Verizon version does not.
[One (M8) General] EvoKnvl:
I hope nothing bad happened to my order. I placed mine from HTC on the 25th as soon as it went live, before they took it down. Gunmetal Dev. Still waiting on a Shipping notification :(
[One (M8) General] y2jdmbfan:
I was half tempted to order a gold dev edition this afternoon, but I am sure I missed the shipping cut off at this point. I have the Gunmetal Dev Edition that was ordered on the 25th that is picking...Luckily I couldn't wait last week and went and bought one off contract from AT&T to tide me over...

Y2J
[One (M8) General] darkodin14:
I think we are fine. I ordered the same time as you and I just called HTC he said to me again that it will ship out tomorrow and that my order was good to go (everything was verified). I do have to admit I think my F5 key will break soon.
[One (M8) General] jtc276:
I feel like a lot of people in this thread had trouble waiting until Christmas to unwrap their presents.
[One (M8) General] y2jdmbfan:
What kind of people do you think are on XDA? We are on here because we want the latest and greatest!!!
[One (M8) General] jtc276:
I understand as I also want the same thing! But I find it ever so slightly ridiculous that people canceled their Dev orders for Unlocked versions to get an M8 a day earlier. That's just a little...extreme. But this is XDA! :laugh:
[One (M8) General] kirdroid:
Anyone's tracking # active yet on the UPS website?
[One (M8) General] mizerab1e:
Yes, mine is active and showing up for delivery tomorrow!
[One (M8) General] CB620:
Active. Delivery by the end of the day.
[One (M8) General] Funk2641:
Not yet...gunmetal here :(
[One (M8) General] cc999:
order

I just placed order 2 hours ago, logged in to see order status and it said customer intervention needed.

I called got the order cleared, and I was told it will ship tomorrow and be at my door on Friday.

I got the gunmetal Developer Edition. Just checked the order status says preparing to ship!

I hope this is what happens...........

CC
[One (M8) General] CB620:
Nice
[One (M8) General] jtc276:
You suck! :D I guess I shouldn't have been in a rush to order since it doesn't appear to be paying off all that much anyway.
[One (M8) General] daorderdillon:
Dev edition and unlocked is no difference jus bootloader
[One (M8) General] CB620:
The warranty.
[One (M8) General] daorderdillon:
Lol with s off I cud jus lock back the bootloader lol not relocked but actual lock
[One (M8) General] CB620:
Not everyone is fluent in that.
[One (M8) General] jtc276:
True...but one day? I mean, if someone was confident in their decision to choose the Dev over the Unlocked a week ago, why is the Unlocked suddenly a better option? Because it's shipping one day earlier? That seems a little...ridiculous.
[One (M8) General] daorderdillon:
All the guys that bought a AT&T device off contract or gsm m8 will convert the software to dev editions Lmao with s off
[One (M8) General] jtc276:
And I almost forgot about this. People are giving up their warranty for one-day-earlier gratification.
[One (M8) General] daorderdillon:
For me I couldn't order from HTC with international credit card and Amazon told me April 15 so I had to go through mango wireless for the unlocked one
[One (M8) General] jtc276:
And they'll have a permanent AT&T logo and no warranty. But I guess it's nice that they got their phone a few days earlier.
[One (M8) General] jtc276:
That's actually understandable. However, most people who switched didn't have such a compelling reason.
[One (M8) General] daorderdillon:
Some ppl jus can't wait but I can't wait from March 26- April 15 that's almost a month
[One (M8) General] jtc276:
I agree. Waiting makes sense...to a point. When we're talking weeks, I might shell out a little more cash. But a single day is nothing. I'll gladly spend tomorrow M8-less in order to get a true Dev Edition on Friday.
[One (M8) General] kirdroid:
Mine now says shipping label created on the ups site .. Hopefully it will show some activity by end of day.
[One (M8) General] daorderdillon:
So everyone should hv a phone by Saturday so which Rom will we move to
[One (M8) General] kirdroid:
I'll be probably stick with stock for sometime unless there is a newer version of android that is not available thru official update.
[One (M8) General] AnDruid:
So who here has a shipment notification for a grey Dev edition M8 from htc.com and what date/time did you order?
[One (M8) General] portcitypetino:
Just found out I'll have my dev edition gold M8 tomorrow by 3 via UPS! Funny thing too I also have the new Amazon Fire TV and Fire Game Pad coming in via UPS tomorrow as well! Christmas in April! What I'm really going to want to do is get the Sense 6 rom from the T-Mobile retail model installed on mine for WiFi Calling! The Gold was a Best Buy exclusive for the carrier models and Best Buy doesn't partner with T-Mobile so the obvious options were either the unlocked or dev edition models in gold direct from HTC! I love my WiFi calling though on my Sony Xperia Z1s and loved it on the ole M7 this time last year, so I definitely want that T-Mobile retail Sense rom for my dev edition! That plus the dev edition in gold and I'm set!
[One (M8) General] iSaint:
Hey guys, It's been awhile since i've been back on XDA, and was just making sure Im in the right forums I just ordered the HTC one M8 Dev Edition from HTC's site so will I only be able to flash ROMS from this section of the HTC M8 forums or will it be universal?

Thanks in advance will check back, and make sure to thank you for response.
[One (M8) General] Kmac_thp:
So for all you guys on at&t are you getting a new micro sim after the M8 arrives? Thought I read somewhere that people were getting M8's in the mail without the new sim in them. Can I get one beforehand?
[One (M8) General] aafevo:
Just placed an order for a gunmetal dev edition, status says customer contact required and their live chat just closed so I sent them an email. Didn't realize Texas residents got charged tax so it came out to be $54 more than I was expecting :( Oh well, coming from an iPhone 5S and I previously owned an M7 so hopefully I am happy with my choice!
[One (M8) General] jlevy73:
Latest from Amazon:

Hello,

We have good news! We're able to get this part of your order to you faster than we originally promised:

"HTC One M8 - Developer Edition- Factory Unlocked 32GB - US Warranty (Gunmetal Grey)"

New estimated arrival date: April 07, 2014

[One (M8) General] martinezma99:
Does HTC direct charge a restocking fee for a returned phone? Do we know their returned policy?
[One (M8) General] Saket_k:
Dude on which date did you placed the order ??

Please tell ... getting impatient:fingers-crossed:
[One (M8) General] jlevy73:
Placed my order on March 26th.
[One (M8) General] Saket_k:
Okk , i placed my order just now on Amazon after seeing post .
[One (M8) General] darkodin14:
So begins the day I keep refreshing the order page for shipping info. 03/25 order and still in picking!
[One (M8) General] darkodin14:
You can walk into an AT&T store and ask for one. They'll give it to you. Just tell them you have an iphone 5 coming today and need a sim for it.
[One (M8) General] CB620:
Out for delivery!!!!!
[One (M8) General] Saket_k:
Congrats man !!!
[One (M8) General] jlevy73:
Strange, most normal companies would send an email asking you to call for a security check, not just cancel your order. Seems like HTC needs to get their ish together. Ordered through Amazon, and it was hassle free.

---------- Post added at 06:39 AM ---------- Previous post was at 06:37 AM ----------

I've ordered through Amazon and right now they are not giving dates. After the order it just says we will notify you of a shipping date when we have better information (or something like that).
[One (M8) General] daorderdillon:
Same thing here with me I'm going thru Amazon also I hv prime so I hope it comes quick

---------- Post added at 12:45 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:43 AM ----------

Who here ordered dev editions from Amazon?
[One (M8) General] SolarTrans:
I did at first, but changed to HTC. If Amazon turns out it's shipping faster, I'll cancel HTC and buy from there. Otherwise, I think it'll come sooner straight from the source. April 4th is when they will come from HTC with free overnight shipping.
[One (M8) General] daorderdillon:
Last yr wasn't the case retailers got their batch before consumers so stores first lol
[One (M8) General] SolarTrans:
Ah. Well, I don't want to have a standing order with each in case they ship at the same time and I get billed for 2, so I'm holding off on the Amazon one until they have an In Stock time estimate.
[One (M8) General] minieod:
amazon is charging tax for me. so the order would come to almost $700. HTC sales it is
[One (M8) General] darkodin14:
Yep, Through HTC its cheaper for me than buying from amazon or an ATT version from the carrier. No tax and no other charges.

I guess that alone is worth it although this wait is treacherous
[One (M8) General] SolarTrans:
Yeah. I'm in Oregon so we don't have tax regardless of the seller, so I'd rather order from Amazon. With no In Stock window it's pretty sketchy though. Main benefit for Amazon IMO is the 14 day no hassle return policy. That can't be compared to LetsTalk's 7-day that most likely is a huge pain.
[One (M8) General] darkodin14:
Yea, I love dealing with Amazon. They've always been great to me. Too bad there is tax in New York.
[One (M8) General] genti_l:
May I suggest the Spigen clear case. I ordered mine on Amazon and it's suppose to ship the same week as the phone.
[One (M8) General] daorderdillon:
Will dev edition shipping start on monday
[One (M8) General] CB620:
So Amazon Prime 2 day shipping will come faster than from the source with Overnight shipping? [emoji58][emoji57]

[One (M8) General] daorderdillon:

[One (M8) General] Win_Wizard:
man i just realised how close we live and you are getting yours so soon. A bit salty not gonna lie. Hope mine does ship today.
[One (M8) General] CB620:
Yeah your in Glen Mills. Did your status change?
[One (M8) General] Win_Wizard:
Not yet. I am getting the gunmetal grey one which i ordered on the 27th. So basically i will be waiting anxiously all day for the email and constantly refreshing the page. (also off topic but 7 posts till im a senior member WOOT!)
[One (M8) General] y2jdmbfan:
I just got an email from Amazon saying my expected delivery date in now April 7th...I need to cancel one of these orders, I could save $60 on tax through Amazon,but I won't have it till Monday...
[One (M8) General] kirdroid:
My delivery estimate is between 3.15 to 7.00 pm according to UPS my choice. I'm in PST and it will be a long wait, probably the last one to get the phone today out of everyone here.
[One (M8) General] CB620:
Well I'm at work...so who knows.

Looking for cases on Amazon.
[One (M8) General] ryno9100:
I ordered my Unlocked Gunmetal Gray from HTC at 2:13 PM EST, called them for their security questions around 2:50 PM, and it shipped around 5:00PM. I will be the proud owner of an HTC M8 by the time I get home from work today.

Any ideas when the Dot View is releasing?
[One (M8) General] CB620:
Verizon and Best Buy have them
[One (M8) General] ryno9100:
I can't find any in stores near my workplace. And definitely not near my house. :/ I'll check online again if I get 3 seconds to myself at work today.
[One (M8) General] darkodin14:
anyone elses grey dev still in picking?
[One (M8) General] Win_Wizard:
Mine is
[One (M8) General] darkodin14:
I'm getting anxious.
[One (M8) General] Win_Wizard:
I know right
[One (M8) General] kirdroid:
FYI - Amazon currently says in stock for unlocked silver model. Ships and sold directly from Amazon but may take 1 or 2 days to process. They have a delivery date of April 8th for those looking for silver model.
[One (M8) General] Saket_k:
Hi , which one dev or unlocked , you ordered from amazon & which date ??
[One (M8) General] cheno1115:
I ordered my grey dev on the 30th. Mine is still picking too.

Getting nervous it may not ship today...
[One (M8) General] burr:
Ordered Dev edition Gunmetal from Amazon on March 27. New shipping update is that I'll now receive it on Monday.
[One (M8) General] AnDruid:
Mine as well, had placed order on 3/26 evening. I guess grey Dev edition were the most popular orders?
[One (M8) General] darkodin14:
Can someone call them and find out what's up and get an update on the grey devs please
[One (M8) General] Win_Wizard:
I could do it around 12 est

---------- Post added at 11:13 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:11 AM ----------

,
[One (M8) General] CB620:
Silver devs will not be shipping till tomorrow. Gunmetal and Gold are out and about and emails will be sent out. Don't really know the system they are going with.
[One (M8) General] darkodin14:
So they will be shipped today after all? Thank you
[One (M8) General] Win_Wizard:
Probably one that screws me over with my luck XD
[One (M8) General] CB620:
Shipping today/tomorrow. You may get a tracking # today. That is what I was told. If you get a tracking # today chances are it will be out for delivery tomorrow.
[One (M8) General] darkodin14:
I mean for the grey
[One (M8) General] Win_Wizard:
To make sure I understand gunmetal should arrive tomorrow? Because you said something about silver??
[One (M8) General] CB620:
If your talking about Gun Metal than yesterday and today should be some turnaround.
[One (M8) General] Win_Wizard:
Man it will be tortur e if mine ends up shipping out tomorrow because then I'll have to wait until Monday for delivery or worse they don't have enough and I get pushed to next shipment
[One (M8) General] 08BlackWRX:
Im on the phone with them now. Rep is saying "IF" they get the Devleopers Editions in Grey in today, they may ship out today depending on what time of the day they are recieved. If they dont recieve them towards the end of the day they will ship tomorrow. Unlocked Version in Gunmetal are still in stock and will ship today, so im switching my order now...
[One (M8) General] topsales:
Dev gold shows available. My Dev gray still shows backordered. I don't know whether to keep my order, or change to the unlocked. Any suggestions?
[One (M8) General] jtc276:
Gunmetal Grey Developer Edition...and still nothing. Does anyone want me to call and ask questions because I'm doing nothing right now (spring break, whoo...).
[One (M8) General] CB620:
Go for it. A couple people switched their order yesterday and shipped same day.
[One (M8) General] Win_Wizard:
All i can think about is this phone and it causes issues cuz i cant even pay attention in class. Htc why must you have such an indecisive deadline
[One (M8) General] topsales:
Think dev edition will resell for more than the unlocked when I turn it?
[One (M8) General] jtc276:
Probably. That's one of the reasons why I'm not switching (and the warranty business).
[One (M8) General] topsales:
Thanks. Gonna keep my order as is. I am jonesing, but not bad enough to lose money.:o
[One (M8) General] CB620:
I'm sure it will. The warranty will be in tact unlike the carrier ones. Even when they can do the conversion ours will still sale for $100 more

[One (M8) General] darkodin14:
I am beginning to wonder if they will even ship today! They better Or else im calling and complaining!
[One (M8) General] jtc276:
I probably will, too. They said they'd ship today and arrive tomorrow. If that doesn't happen, I'm not going to be very happy. I mean, even the Google Play Edition is shipping.
[One (M8) General] darkodin14:
Yep exactly. If they ship tomorrow, that will push my delivery date to monday! and that would be horrible.
[One (M8) General] MagicalHobo:
Hey burr, do you remember what time you ordered your M8 on the 27th? I ordered a Gunmetal Dev edition from Amazon on the 27th as well and I haven't heard a thing as of yet. Hoping that I hear something later tonight!
[One (M8) General] burr:
It was around noon PDT.
[One (M8) General] MagicalHobo:
Hmm, I ordered a little later than that. Hopefully I wasn't after the cut off time! Thank you for letting me know!

Just called HTC.

My order : Gun Metal Dev edition

Ordered 03/25

She said my order is complete.

They received the phone today and I will receive and email with tracking info today and get it within 24 hours.

I feel a bit better now.

Just called. According to the rep they're receiving shipment today and orders will "start shipping today, if not tomorrow." I'm really not a fan of the latter part of that quote, but I'm hopeful.
[One (M8) General] burr:
Actually I want to make a correction. I was checking Amazon order status again and it says I ordered on March 25. Status is:

Shipment #1: Preparing for Shipment
[One (M8) General] cc999:
there is hope!

Mine in same situation, as a side note today is my lucky day, I have been looking for the Dot View case

for the last week, no one has them. For the hell of it stopped in a Verizion store in Rockaway NJ, (checked Verizion

online and in store and it showed sold out) The sales guy said let me check, low and behold he comes out

with the Black one and tells me last one in the store! Now if the phone delivers tomorrow I am in heaven....

[One (M8) General] MagicalHobo:
Ah, that's probably the difference right there. Oh well, thanks for letting me know! Enjoy the phone when it gets to you!
