With all this excitement over in the U.K. and Europe about the HTC release, we Americans are patiently awaiting some kind of news of a release date here. To my knowledge, there has been no update from AT&T, T-Mobile or Sprint since the initial HTC unveiling last month.
With whom and where in the USA did you make your pre-order, find a fully working demo, find an announcement for a release date, or receive your first HTC One?
No release date for US version yet
There is no information for the US version but I am also waiting big time.
I had a preorder from Hantec.uk but now the release date has been pushed back to at least March 25 so I have until then to see if the US version will come out soon after. If it is close I will just cancel my order and get from the US so I can also get the ATT warranty on the phone.
they said we are first priority, but i dont believe that, i feel like they are going to wait until the gs4 is released so they can release it at the same time, they did the same **** with the vivid when the gs2 came out.
HTC would have been so better off if they could have sold it's flagship phone before the Galaxy S4 takes over the Ad's. Too bad for HTC
Check out phonedog.com. They just had an article saying preorders for AT&T start today and the release date is the 21st.

Yeah, sadly it doesn't look like we'll be getting the One on the 15th here

The only thing that really pisses me off about this is that it's going to make it a lot harder for us to do the Trade-In program here in the US

i think the cariers have a hand in this bc they want us to trade in with them instead of htc who would give us more for our device
T-Mobile reps keep saying 31st for release, 26th for preorder. As well as a friend who works at a local shop

I've never heard of at&t taking any phones back for a trade in. Sure you get a lower price signing up for a 2yr contract but not a trade in.
Also while HTC did have a hand in brokering the deal, they are not the ones running the program. Clover is.
I think the program dates will either be extended or we'll see something early next week for a release the week of the 24th. Probably the former unfortunately. Either way I'm not holding my breath though.
It just sucks that HTC has said that the USA is their largest target market, and we'll be getting it at the same time as the other countries, if not later it seems.

I recently noticed an updated *unofficial* release date for the EVO on phonearena.com ...link here: http://www.phonearena.com/htmls/Sprint-carrier-c_2_3.html
This says April 16th. Can this be? Anyone know where they get their information? I have noticed in the past they generally only put release dates on that are somewhat reliable, or they will put 'unannounced' or something more general like 'summer'.
Any other sources point to an april release date? If so, i am dumping vzw and rejoining sprint!
***EDIT: MOST RECENT RUMORS POINT TO JUNE 6 OR 13...PHONE ARENA NOW HAS AN UNOFFICIAL DATE POSTED OF JUNE 13.
I believe sprint when they say summer
Again, rumors are just that, RUMORS... And it's nearing April Fools, which is cruel to us tech geeks... But a lot of online places have started reporting May for a release date. Check out the link and google some more.
EDIT: So I can't post links because I'm a noob, but Google it and you should find some articles.
April 16th Sprint will start taking PreOrders. Went down to my local Sprint store today. That Evo Is SICK!!!!

Working for Radioshack I feel I'm obligated to say this. We willl have it release day, at least 1 in store if it is a busy store. My sprint rep will be getting his demo soon and I was promised I could use it before release behind closed doors to the public. So if I manage to get my hands on it before release I will let you all know how cool it is!

In all fairness, with the exception of US Cellular, I don't think ANY of the big three have announced a concrete date.

Why is that odd? AT&T waited until AFTER they started shipping pre-orders of the SGS3 before they announced an official release date for that device.
If you want customer service and communication (other than text message spam) you should find another carrier.
Take care

I would be careful about that. I don't know about their old terms, but their new terms are strict and say even if you can technically return it because of the place you bought it from, it would be subject to an early termination fee. I would think this similar terms would be in their old contract.
If you truly think you will return it, I would suggest returning it within the standard 30days provided by AT&T.

That's why i said they announced a date to announce the date.
In other words, they'll tell us the release dates for all the carriers on the 24th. I wouldn't be surprised if at least some carriers start selling it very quickly after that. AT&T always releases on Sundays, so I'm hoping to see the Note 2 at AT&T on the 28th.

Looks like Sprint, T-Mo and AT&T will still be launching the HTC One in the U.S. before the end of March.
That's fantastic news, 'cause I'm getting mega antsy. Another months wait would have been embarrassingly unbearable.
Thanks for that update. Here's hoping that it's actually the 15th for the US as well.
This is good news. Was just a hair away from a Note 2 as I didn't want to wait another month or so.

mine is due this friday from tmobile uk as a upgrade
I can see this being the same for Canada as we operate on the same US AT&T LTE bands for Rogers, Telus and Bell/Virgin. So phones destined for Canada may not be delayed either .

No, I agree. There will probably be a lot more buzz and advertising right before it is launched, so unfortunately I highly doubt we'll see anything this Friday.

I went ahead and ordered the Note 2 :laugh:
I will get 14 days to return it if the One shows up by the 28th or the 29th of March but I highly doubt it.
The US timeline may not be affected by the delays could be because it wasn't going to be released until April.
I am keeping my finger crossed that I will end up with it by the end of March
Don't think they will release it this friday.. im hoping to see some sort of pre-order page going live this week tho

, but isn't it a hassle to switch out? I mean you get everything all setup on one device and then have to take it back and switch out and deal with the rep headaches and what not....unless you do everything online. Still a pain.
I will give it a little more time. Hopefully hear something by the end of this week.
I know I will enjoy the Note anyway as I have an s3 right now and love it, just love new phones, lol!

Since the HTC One upgrade promo technically ended yesterday (it's still listed on HTC's site), I'm sure we'll see U.S. service providers start announcing release dates and pricing any time now. The Samsung Galaxy S IV will be unveiled tomorrow, so it'll probably be Friday or next Monday before we get details.

Depends on the carrier.. if you're on CDMA it could be a pain switching devices.. but with GSM phones its pretty much just swiping sim cards..
But the user above hopes that HTC releases the HTC One in the next two weeks being that he have a 14 day return to exchange to another phone..
i would of had never done that, Maybe in the past when most carriers had a 30 day return period.. now most have a 14 day return..
Most likely the device will be out within a week or two after release.. because new customers have to start a new line the day they pre-order it.. if they was in the store.. (at least thats what Sprint did to me the time i pre-order my EVO 4G) maybe things have change and you can pre-order it and sign up the day it comes out..
I wish I could believe this... But I can't until there are solid release dates.

Evo LTE fiasco...
Basically the launch delay due to shipments being held by US Customs (due to Apple infringement claim). As they were gradually let out, Sprint had first pick at them while third-parties (like Wirefly) were way down on the list. Don't know when their customers finally got them (I ended up cancelling). Learned my lesson! Not saying that you'll have the same experience, but since this is limited quantities, know that Wirefly will get the left-overs.

That is why I put "preordered FOR" and not "preordered FROM". Some people may get it from an AT&T store, some Best Buy, Some from HTC but that part isn't all that relevant.(for this poll).
The poll is also open until the 18th. If Tmobile doesn't offer it before that from them than it is not a pre-order .
Keep the votes coming guys! I know more people preordered than this .

I would be more concerned that you ordered the Black one for Sprint. The black version is not in the SKU system for Best Buy and it is not available directly from Sprint for preorder and they do not have the slightest clue when the black one will be released. (Expect end of May or June)

Well as the title suggests, im curious if any US carrier has opened preorders yet or if anyone has even heard when they might. Ive read that in the UK they will begin on the 28th. Im with AT&T and they have yet to announce anything in regards to availability or preorders.
Sent from my SGH-I777 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
The whole secrecy thing about the launch date is baffling given how quick they were last year on the GN3 to announce the dates and get things rolling. Still I look forward to the GS5 and I suspect it will be LAG FREE. Just not sure if its AT&T or Verizon for me at this time.
It is pretty frustrating that a price hasn't been announced nor a pre-order date. I know those are just minor things, but it just makes no sense to me why they are keeping quiet about it. I just want the peace of mind that I preordered it and don't have to worry about anything.
Given the new leaked info about the new HTC One, i may end up passing on the S5. Not knowing when it will be released or even pricing, and the idea that the One may go on sale immediately following its launch is tempting if its true.
It just typical US carrier crap, they drag everything out so you buy whats available today and they can clear out the GS4 stock they have. I just want the 32GB on launch day.

it's the worst.. and S4 stock? these carriers are putting out promotions for the S3! like what idiots would buy an S3 on Contract in 2014 with the S5 launching in 3 weeks? These carriers take advantage of non techie customers.. It really pisses me off. They should have given us a pre-order date or pricing at least. I may hate Apple, but one thing they do right is the iPhone launches. They announce a phone, then put it out within 10 days at all carriers without any delay.
I saw tmobile will have it for sure in their site
Preorders open tomorrow (3-21) on AT&T for $200
