I don't understand... Both AT&T and TMo have released their phones (although AT&T's isn't suppose to be released until Sunday), yet there still is no release date even announced for the Epic. Futhermore, EVOs are still out of stock. Sprint is really dropping the ball.
I search everyday to see if a release date has been announced as it's the day I move from Verizon, but I'm becoming impatient.
Given that both the CDMA(Sprint, Verizon) versions of the phones have not been given a release date. I am going to guess it has to do with some difficulties or issues with this version.
The GSM(ATT, TMobile) versions were so quick because they are nearly identical to the original.

What I find interesting is that I don't think the Epic has even passed FCC yet, whereas the GSM versions passed FCC months ago.

Really Is this true?
Maybe thats the hold up?
I just wish they would announce at least the price or the date either one.
The tesing of it is killing me.
I tried finding any fcc info and I cant. If its not fcc approved or under galaxy s fcc approval then we have at least 2 to 4 months more to wait.

not necessarily - the Captivate was only submitted to the FCC on 6/11 and is launching just 5 weeks after.
I’m not sure if the FCC makes records available immediately once they’re submitted, or if they wait until after the devices have been approved. In the second case, they could have already been submitted and we still wouldn’t see them listed.
Question to mods - I tried posting a link to the Captivate info on the FCC site, but I'm too new. How long does that restriction last? thx
tweeted by samsung 2 hours ago;
"if you are on Sprint, make sure you pick up the Sprint Samsung Epic 4G. no launch date/price but it's coming out this summer."
I asked them to define summer
You can have the FCC withhold information until it is close to release date..
So far the most precise release date I found was late july -early august for the epic 4g...the verizon one best I found is late august - early fall
I was at radioshack today to purchase my EVO and I asked the sales guy about the epic, he claimed mid to late September...

It is possible that radioshack may not stock the Sprint version at first because of their recent dealing with T-mobile and it competing with the Vibrant...

Nope, I'm guessing mid to late August. I was chosen to be the store rep who gets the phone early, and I'm expecting the phone this week or next. Usually we get them about a month earlier than the general public.

If you get the phone, can you check if there is a SIM card slot or not? thats pretty much the only major information that we have not gotten confirmation for...aside from the release date of course lol
If I get an EVO now, and the Epic comes out in 30 days and I want to switch, is there some fees I have to pay?

No just return the Evo say you didn't like it and tell them you want the Epic instead. Pay the difference if any (which I doubt) and walk out with the new phone. If you're buying from a Sprint store be careful this may mess with your rebate, that's why I buy Best Buy Mobile or Radio Shack I hate rebates.
If you swap phones within 30 days, there will be a $35 restocking fee.
As for the Epic, there's no SIM slot, can tell you that with 100% certainty.

By that you mean you actually took apart the device and saw it is not there?
cause so far the specs that were outed a month ago were dead on and there was a mention of it having a SIM slot in there...of course that was possible to be in only the prototype..
gTen, SIM slots are a standard requirement of GSM phones. Sprint is a CDMA based provider. So no, it will not have a SIM slot.
More details here.
Was under the impression worldphone sprint blackberrys have sim cards,
as does iden devices technically. I'm really doubting the epic will be a world phone though

Yes I know that much..but TP2 did CDMA and GSM..so do the BB, LG Fathom and a few other phones too...
The SIM card slot was mentioned in the Leak of the device..aka its CDMA/Wimax/GSM..but so far other then the leak no one has confirmed it or denied it thus far with actual evidence...

The TP2 was sold as a world phone the Epic and Evo are not advertised as world phones although the unlocked variant of the Galaxy S I believe might be.
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.

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 have pre-ordered mine through Rogers. I believe the pre-order ends on March 22. Perhaps that is when we may expect the release of the One. That's the most solid info that seems to be floating around.
Anyone have info related to the Canadian release date, please post.

Just moving back to Canada and need to get a plan and phone so im leaning towards Koodo as it offers good plans.
Really hoping the production delays won't be affecting us Canadians too much. I'm keeping close tabs on Mobilesyrup for any news regarding the One's release. Didn't go w/ the pre-order through Rogers. Figured I'll probably get it faster if I check various Rogers stores the day it's released.

Yes,
I did the opposite. I bought a One V from Koodo outright ($175), put my Telus sim card in it and was up and running in no time.
A Telus or Koodo "locked" device work on either. My "my Telus Mobility" page even shows a Koodo One V as my current phone.

Be careful, MOST of devices work on both carriers, but som eare locked to Koodo or Telus. For instance, Blackberries are locked, you cannot use a Telus Blackberry on Koodo.

Damn I am jealous of all you guys. I got an HTC One X+ about 4 months ago. I would love to have the One but I need to wait for the next iteration. I know for the vast majority of people the storage is enough, but I need at least 64GB. My one X+ has 4 GB free and it is 64. Here is to hoping for the next one. I love the build quality of HTC devices compared to other android vendors, and from what it seems this one is the best so far.

Yup, blackberries are unique because of BBM and the fact that their email etc has to be routed through their servers. That is also why all companies have smartphone plans, then blackberry plans due to the licencing fee. If it is not a Blackberry, it should be fine. The fellow I responded to was asking specifically about the One

I am hoping the 64gb version of the One makes it here (in black). If not, 32gb is fine for me at least. I got the One V as a temp phone cause I was pissed last years One XL and S had only 16gb versions for Canada. Almost jumpsed on the One X+ but figured i'd wait for the inevitable spring / MWC ish flagship that HTC always releases. I am glad I did.

I read that it would be available in March. I haven't read of any delays in Canada. Nothing other than they won't disclose a launch date and it is nearing the end of the month.
So perhaps it no longer is March.

For those who missed it and are still holding out for the note 5 release in europe :
http://www.gsmarena.com/samsung_gal...to_europe_as_soon_as_august_28-news-13675.php
Seems a rather odd marketing strategy and if it is one then I would argue that it has backfired.
If it does get released on the 28th , which hasnt been verified by any other source, i would tend to agree.
I believe they have lost "a few" customers and it will get worse the longer they wait.
IFA Berlin 2015 is coming up and LG and Sony will release their versions and they WILL include everything Samsung left out.
If they release after IFA then they will loose even more , personally will buy a LG PRO 4 or whatever the name will be.
It has stylus , sd card , removable battery ... everything thats missing from Samsung right now
Immediately after hearing these news, I tried to see if there are any additional signs of existence of this European model SM-N920F and guess what? To my big surprise there is! I searched through Geekbench database and there are fresh results of SM-N920F. These results were not before as I was monitoring this model entry way before! Here is the link
At least we know that this device is being tested and it gives mores power to this European release report
Edit: It has the same Exynos 7420 but 3GB Ram Something is messed up!
SM-N920F references were out weeks 'before' Samsung announced / decided to cancel its release.
They have repeatedly clarified there are NO plans for a European release. The presumption it would come next year was by the media which was later clarified by Samsung that its not.
Sadly the only way it's coming to Europe is if you import one.

Hello, where did you see any references of SM-N920F? Because from Geekbech there were plenty evidences of existence before the official release of all other variants except SM-N920F. Yesterday were the first entries of SM-N920F on Geekbench. Don't be fooled by the last 3 entries of Geekbench, those entries are incorrect and they are for IOS and probably its from Ipad Air 2.

It has region locking, but that can get done before shipping. (that have to put local card and talk for a bit before region lock is disabled)
I like that it has 13 lte bands compared to Canadian 9. I lose warranty anyways due to root/Knox.
