[One (M8) General] Win_Wizard:
Yup also just called and they didn't tell me jack. I think they are tired of people calling about
[One (M8) General] jtc276:
Uh, yeah, what is this?
[One (M8) General] iSaint:
Ordered last night will be here tomorrow :)

So the Roms on this forum is for the developer edition right?
[One (M8) General] kirdroid:
Not sure are they saying the price is going up to $700 like the GPE. Can't call at work.. Will see after sometime.
[One (M8) General] darkodin14:
Try again. Ill try calling in an hour again as well.

Gotta keep bugging them so upper management does something about this.

[One (M8) General] topsales:
Ordered a dev edition from Amazon as well as HTC. Cost $30 more on Amazon than HTC, due to Amazon wanting to charge me for overnight shipping. I got notification this morning from Amazon that it was "preparing for shipment" and I would get it by Monday. Thought about keeping the order going, but $30 is $30.

I hope I did not make a mistake in canceling, as I also got 12 months same as cash with Amazon. I am hoping HTC ships the gray dev edition I ordered and I get it tomorrow. I'll be upset if HTC (LetsTalk) ships tomorrow.
[One (M8) General] CB620:
Just got off the phone with Let's Talk. The price starting midnight will be $699
[One (M8) General] iSaint:
Thank you ... So I'm guessing the Roms are universal and there's no specific forums for the developer edition?
[One (M8) General] jtc276:
Wow. I guess this time it actually does pay to be an early adopter.
[One (M8) General] kokocabana:
I was considering the dev edition on amazon since I can't get it on htc's site. I'm going to order it now since I assume amazon will also be raising it by $50.
[One (M8) General] kirdroid:
Wow.. thanks for confirming. Feels great to be early adopter now :)
[One (M8) General] CB620:
$649 was promotional.

So it will be the same price as the GPE.

I'm just glad to see the gunmetal grey is shipping. Those guys probably ordered the 25th. I ordered the 27th at 7pm est. I have no problem with those that ordered before me getting them first, but...if I'm not in this first batch and have to wait for another week or 2, I'll change over to the unlocked version lol!

[One (M8) General] mizerab1e:
IT IS HERE! my amber gold dev edition arrived 2 hours ago and installed TWRP, then tested out everything I can think of. It is absolutely GORGEOUS, build quality is unbelievable, blazing fast and camera takes beautiful pictures. I really do not understand what all those negative reviews were talking about, but it simply does not dissapoint in any way for me. Best 650$ I've spent in a long long time.

By the way, it did NOT come with a case, just your usual earbuds, charger and cable.
[One (M8) General] Win_Wizard:
Does it come with the gel case
[One (M8) General] mizerab1e:
It did not for me.

Still waiting :-/
[One (M8) General] cheno1115:
I literally just got off the phone with Let's Talk.

They said they received a batch of Developers in gunmetal grey today, and are receiving another batch tomorrow.

So if mine doesn't go out today it will go out tomorrow.

And just as I refreshed my order status, it changed to "Ready to be shipped".

Mine is leaving an Illinois warehouse she said. I wonder if it's too late for UPS/FedEx to receive a load today to ship...

I ordered March 30th at 2:00PM for anyone who wants to know.
[One (M8) General] housry23:
No this makes me a little upset. Mine is still picking. I ordered 3 days before you. How frusterating. It's just like the Nexus 4. No order of shipping at all. should be fifo. Congrats to you though!
[One (M8) General] cheno1115:
I honestly think the phone call had something to do with it. If I were you I'd just call to inquire one more time if it'll go out today. Someone in an earlier post said they ordered this morning and it shipped this afternoon? That made me upset a bit, They should ship in the order received, should they not?
[One (M8) General] touretts69:
Ordered on Tue, Mar 25, 2014 at 12:20 PM and mine is still in "picking" status.
[One (M8) General] AnDruid:

I hope they are not shipping orders from the nearest warehouse of the delivery address. My address is in WA.
[One (M8) General] cheno1115:
Received my tracking number, order status changed to completed. If I were you three, I'd call them right now before it's too late for them to go out the door today.
[One (M8) General] aafevo:
Guess I got lucky. Ordered last night around 11pm central time when the status was still on backorder and my status has been changed to "Ready to ship"

And I just got my tracking #! Will be here tomorrow :D

HTC One M8 - 32gb Developer Edition Gunmetal Grey.
[One (M8) General] housry23:
I just called and the lady said that a label was printed with a warehouse workers name and it will go out today.
[One (M8) General] cheno1115:
Awesome to hear. Now we can all continue to spam F5 on our UPS' tracking link and not the order status page anymore :victory:
[One (M8) General] AnDruid:
I had called earlier today. Was told "it will ship today or tomorrow".

Those who see a status change on order page, do tell which color/model they ordered and when. I still see that the order time being followed for shipping for the most part.

AT&T pissed me off again!

My phone is supposed to be delivered today so I stopped at AT&T to get a nano SIM. They wouldn't give it to me and said I have to bring the phone in to get the SIM. When did they start that crap? Always looking for new ways to inconvenience their customers.
[One (M8) General] kennonk:
That is weird. If I don't have a phone with me they usually just charge me $5. But if I have the phone with me they just install a new sim free. Were you at a corp store? Try one of their authorized dealers like at a mall kiosk or something.
[One (M8) General] AnDruid:

Well my grey developer is supposed to be delivered today, but with the ice storm that hit the mid west last night, I'm wondering if it will be delayed...

I'll be distraught if it doesn't get here today!

Also, It's a shame that the international version came with a silicone case, and the US developers didn't. However i bought a bugdroid case a couple days ago (Which is supposed to come via UPS today as well.!) so it's not too big of a deal.

How is everyone liking their new toy?

EDIT: Out for delivery says UPS. Now the only thing separating me and my phone is some sort of vehicular accident with the UPS truck:laugh:

Agreed. Scrolling is as good as an iOS device and that's a pretty big claim. I might actually stick with Sense for the entire duration I use this phone. Sound quality through headphones is the best I've ever heard on anything. The device, as a whole, is nearly a masterpiece. Definitely worth the money and I already know I'll have it for at least a year because nothing is going to top the areas of a phone that I care about that the M8 simply nails.

Guys, why is the price of the unlocked & developer editions now $699?

It was $649 and then it suddenly went to $699. This really irritates me. If it stays at $699, I won't buy. Not because it is only $50 more, but because the price was originally $649 and to change it all of a sudden is unacceptable.
[One (M8) General] EvoKnvl:
I don't think it was really a UPS, but more the storm in KY that delayed everything. Mine was delayed, but I guess they have it coming out today still. Surprised it went from Departed Oakland, to Out for Delievery in SJ. Like they never received it in SJ...

I have a question - what's the difference between Unlocked version and the Developer edition? Other than Developer edition not having the silver color.
[One (M8) General] jasbur17:
Both are sim unlocked but developer has unlocked bootloader.
[One (M8) General] SolarTrans:
This^. Thing is, the Unlocked ones can be unlocked extremely easily via HTC Dev. Not sure how it affects the warranty compared to the pre-unlocked developer edition, though.
[One (M8) General] daorderdillon:
do u have a estimated shipment date yet?
[One (M8) General] SolarTrans:
Everyone who ordered from HTC (where I placed my order) will have their devices ship April 3rd.
[One (M8) General] kirdroid:
Probably the free Google drive offer etc is not available on the developer edition, and available in the unlocked version? I believe reading something like that on the HTC site I think.
[One (M8) General] daorderdillon:
we will see
[One (M8) General] SolarTrans:
Yeah. Unlocking the bootloader on the Unlocked one will most likely invalidate those DRM keys, but if you redeem the Google Drive offer first you'll probably still have it after you unlock. I'd rather have a fully intact warranty than more Drive space though.
[One (M8) General] daorderdillon:
thats why i want the dev edition so i dont have to worry bout adding preloaded apps after i unlock bootloader
