To good to be true??? Especially in the US!
"All in all, the HTC One is definitely heading towards its release date at a fast pace, and we’re nothing but happy about it. It seems that this year, HTC is going to deliver its flagship device in a different manner (read: no carrier customizations), and that might just be what the company needs in order to gain some ground." http://www.gforgames.com/gadgets/htc-one-sprint-release-date-closer-31609/
I wish thats the case. I hate these carriers logos and addons! I hopr this phone is carrier crap free lol...either way..im getting one.

Would be totally awesome !! :fingers-crossed:
You can bet it will have plenty of bloat. I think they are just saying carriers won't be modifying the design, adding or subtracting physical features. I'd be pleasantly surprised if the was no crapware on them though!
no cids would be even better
Should help updates get pushed out quicker if it's not full of network crap.
I am not holding my breath, but would be awesome if it didn't have any.

It'll have bloat, just maybe not as much as past devices.

Does anyone know how this is with phones bought on Amazon?
Here in Germany the carriers Vodafone and O2 will sell the HTC One. I guess those will have some branding. But I have no idea what Amazon is selling, especially here in Germany. I'd love if it was the unlocked EU-version of the One without any branding.
Not going to happen. They've already made hardware specific to each of the US carriers just to keep them happy (only needed a regular 3g/4g version and AWS version for T-Mob.) If they are happy to customise hardware, I'd put money on them customising software (as far as branding/carrier apps etc).

You have to make specific versions compatible with specific carriers. That's not htc giving in. Even Apple has to make specific devices as per carrier technology they use. No branding on an iPhone. HTC could do the same...

Yes and no. For carriers like Verizon/Sprint you need to as they run a distinctly different networks, however looking at the released HTC One units you can see that the T-Mo version is just a band-crippled version of the AT&T handset (unless i'm totally missing something?!).

You could be right. But regardless there is a need to make different versions.
From the press shots on att site doesn't look like any att logo on the device body. Bloatware can be controlled to my satisfaction since ICS and disabling apps.

Ah yeah, I wouldn't expect physical branding on phones... they are still trying to run with a "one phone everywhere" kind of thing, despite the fact they aren't all actually exactly the same. But yeah... software. And also watch bootloader unlock options on the US carrier versions.

You are probably better off getting advice from people in Europe/Asia/Middle East. They get all the good stuff before us is North America.

For 3G, at&t and Rogers use the same band, I think 800/850/1900. T-mobile uses a different band, I think 900/1700. Most European/Asian/Middle Eastern countries use 2100. South America and Australia, use a mix of both depending on the operator.

You could go into a AT&T store while you are here, and get a free "GO" phone which is a monthly prepaid thing for your stay. And get a Google Voice number before you leave.
Leave the X10 connected and set it to forward the calls to the Google Voice (I don't know if Rogers would charge you for this or you would need a US google number or not) and link the Google Voice to your temporary Go phone. Depending on how much you were willing to pay, you could get a free flip phone or pay for anything up to a blackberry.
You would need access at least once to a PC after getting the phone to reconfigure Google to transfer the calls and SMS the phone with the texted version of any voice message.
Even Walmart has these too: http://www.walmart.com/ip/AT-T-Nokia-C3-Prepaid-GoPhone-Blue/15140306
the HTC desire Z seems like a viable option!
To be honest rogers had the x10 before att got it. They aren't that far behind the north American curve, but if you want a good phone, get a bell desire z. Then unlock it. The bell one has a front facing camera and it'll work on rogers. Plus it has the hard fold out keyboard.

I am beyond the ocean as well, but I believe LTE versions are typically only for CDMA based phones. So Verizon in the states uses LTE. GSM phones are the more common worldwide versions.
And to the OP, you can get a non-Verizon Galaxy Nexus, as long as you import it. As far as I am still aware, there are still no GSM versions of the Galaxy Nexus available in the states (at least through any carriers, some places may have imported them from Europe).
I too am eagerly awaiting CES. I am eligible for my upgrade with T-Mobile US in February (I am in a unique situation with them with me being overseas), and I hope they get something like the Galaxy Nexus but with a sdcard slot. I don't get why they wouldn't put that in there

Actually, I got it because I knew it would get the dev-love. I've been on custom roms since the day I got it (mostly CM). Stock Android is just as boring to me as bloatware would've been annoying to me - either way I don't have root.
Want to get a GN but are worried about bloatware? Get it and get a custom rom - it's so obvious what to do with a Nexus.
Article at engadget showing information about the SIII on the US carriers. Comes with the S4 processor and 2 gigs of RAM and the standard features.
http://www.engadget.com/2012/06/04/...rier-launch-att-verizon-sprint-t-mobile-uscc/
Thoughts?
I just hope they can keep the body style that same. It really takes away from the accessory market. Having 5 variants of the same phone is silly (minus the internal differences).
-sent from my mobile device
I wish they made 2 versions of the S3 just like the S2. One international-like version for people who don't even have LTE in their area and followed by the LTE version. I'd take quad core over LTE any day...
Sent from my AT&T SGSII on XDA
But the S4 dual core is no sloth...its a beast! plus 2gig of ram ...the thing will fly.
its might actually be better than the international model....especially if you are in an LTE area.
More cores doesn't necessarily mean more power keep that in mind... the S4 is still quite powerful for a mobile device. I do however hope that they keep the same exterior design on the US models. I don't think it will be too much different though... At least I hope not, though it does say that the different versions are customized for each carrier. We do know that T-Mobile is keeping the original design.

That can be easily photoshoped. However the sgs3 pics on att are more credible
Easily, Hell I could do it. Though out of the big US carriers I could see T-Mobile to be more likely to leave well enough alone than the others.
Even AT&T is using stock Samsung photos (No carrier branding.) So far only the Verizon version has been photographed.
http://www.androidpolice.com/2012/06/03/exclusive-photos-this-is-the-verizon-samsung-galaxy-s-iii/
most likely they will all look the same..especially with having such a close release date as the international model.
with the S2 it took like 6 months before the US model was released.

I'm also using AT&T and this is also quite concerning. It seems like they are extremely strict. I don't understand why they would block such a service? its not like it hurts them in anyway. What a stab in the back AT&T
How I hate these carriers and their stupid ****ing decisions.
If you're concerned about unlocking the bootloader, I wouldn't be. I'm sure if AT&T blocks HTC from allowing it to be unlocked through their website, someone will crack it here.
if i were you, do not purchase the att version. Bootloader will be unlocked etc. Unless the S-OFF by jcare and beaups will work, then go ahead.
But software updates will take 2-3 months after the international version gets it first. You wont get FM radio, and less bloatware.
But on the upside you will get LTE.

I'll be getting mine on AT&T. I bet this issue will be overcome easily with root. I will likely get mine in store on release day, and the pimary reason I will go with the AT&T version (easy in store purchase/exchange/etc).
I've got no choice. The only other option is Veri$ion and they won't get another dime of my money. They F'd me over twice at the end of contracts and hit me with massive roaming bills. 2nd time I didn't pay and had it removed from my credit after 7yrs. At$t is the only provider that has good coverage.
We'll get root and all will be good.
I've had similar concerns, but I think we'll see strong dev support for the One and having only one hardware variant (from a processor perspective) will help as well. It should make it easier for devs to support their roms across all the different carriers.
I would not pre-order anything from ATT -- not before seeing where and how big they make their tramp-stamp. Same for Verizon.
Verizon isn't getting the One.

I may be wrong, but I don't think anyone has manged to manipulate the LTE radio bands like that yet. In fact, I haven't seen an unlocked one with LTE radios so far either. It would be great if it could be done thought. That'd give AT&T, T-Mobile, and the rest a headache and us a way to work around them!
Sup guys, I haven't been in the Android world since I let go of the HTC One X. That being said, I'm back with the HTC One Google Edition.
I see that there's not much information regarding the phone, so if I can do anything to contribute I'll be more than happy to do so. Please be patient with me as its been a long time.

Yup and if you get a T-Mobile HTC One, you can fully convert it to a Google Edition, receive all the OTA updates ect. PLUS it offers support for the AWS (1700/2100) frequency band that the Google Edition is lacking. The good thing about the T-Mobile version also is it has no carrier branding on the outside so you won't be able to tell it apart from the Google Edition exterior wise either.
The real kicker is it's also cheaper than the Google Edition.
Here at XDA we applaud the ones who "took one for the team" and purchased the Google HTC One. Without them, we wouldn't have gotten the full dump to convert our devices.

Yes. Just unlock bootloader install a recovery and flash a sense rom but make a Nandroid before you flash a new rom so you can go back to stock
Is there a list (like a google spreadsheet) of the various device MID's out there? In case someone converts to the GPE and would want to go fully back.

ATT, developer edition and Google edition are essentially same phones.. They all lack the AWS band which T-Mobile model has. So the ideal HTC One is the T-Mobile one which is fully covered to the Google edition. Now you have best hardware radio capabilities with the best software
As far as upcoming Verizon, that's a turd since it's a CDMA phone which is pretty useless outside of Verizon.

From what I understand though, they Google Edition S4 rom does work on the Verizon S4. Is it the case that the rom will most likely work but it just won't be able to receive OTA updates?
It's been discussed that the GSM HTC One and the CDMA version from Sprint have different partition maps. That, and the CDMA radio are why roms from GSM don't work on CDMA phone.

Is this true of all Carriers? AT&T and the upcoming Verizon as well? Or just T-Mo?
Thanks

The att can be fully converted. In fact, it's MID is the same as the Google edition. You just won't have the aws bands. In fact, every gsm one can be converted.
