I'm attempting to buy the AT&T SGSIII with the full price since it's probably the cheapest you can get among all the options.
As I am going to use it on Rogers network in Canada, I would like to know if it's carrier-locked even i pay for the full price???
I know Android phones are pretty easy to get unlocked. I just don't want the hassle.
I plan on driving down to the Seattle this upcoming weekend and nail one!!! Cannot wait anymore!
Even if you get it without commitment, the device will still be locked. AT&T won't unlock it for about six months (I don't know the exact length). Why not just try cellunlocker.net? It unlocked my phone in thirty mins. It's just 25$ so give it a try

Wow..... 6 months.... So, if i get it unlocked through cellunlocker.net, and I flash back to the factory setting and have AT&T unlocked it for me 6 months later?? Will they still honor the warranty??
Sorry for my noob question. Coming from iPhone and not quite familiar with American carrier.
AT&T says they have a 6 month period when they have exclusivity on the phones, but they obviously don't have exclusive rights in the US. Also, they've been unlocking iPhones that were purchased outright, so you can use that to your advantage.

Once you do a sim unlock, it's unlocked forever. No need to get a code from AT&T when it's available.
AT&T is interested in selling phones for it's network, not selling to people looking to sell or take them somewhere else.

I preordered the AT&T version but thinking about changing to this. Will the AT&T version get roms (like CM10) or will it be too difficult for devs? Also, does the AT&T version have any AT&T branding on it!?
Am I the only one who can't find the link to the phone? It keeps showing phones sold now by Sprint, etc

It's also not 10am EST yet. May have something to do with whether or not it shows up in their system.
I'm going with this one because of the great price(64gb) and unlocked bootloader.
I cancelled my preorder with handtec, worth the extra 1 week wait.
I wish I could get this in Canada
Does anyone know about the international warranty status of the Dev Edition?
Anything different from regular warranty?
I'm really on the fence here. I love the idea of owning a limited edition dev phone from HTC, but I don't really need 64GB of storage and the price just seems unreasonable right now since there's the $100 trade in offer and free accessories form AT&T and T-Mobile when you pre-order through them.
I really need someone to clarify this for me. Does Dev phone will get HSPA+/4g and LTE or it will only get 2g and LTE in some area?

That's right. Depends on if the area you're in has been refarmed for 1900mHz
how does the preorder work? do they charge your card for the full amount or preauthorize a small amount and then charge the rest when it ships?
So where are they? They just added the sprint and Tmobile versions to the HTC US Sales site. No dev.

Does anybody now if the ATT S4 is unlockable already? Amazon.com is selling it for 700$ and im thinking about buying, since the international is hard to find.
if you buy the phone full price, you can get the code from AT&T but they wont budge easy. prepare for a fight but it can be done, ive done it several times my self.

That my friend is a bold-faced lie. No locking is done without a key available to unlock it. They just don't want to share.
Att can definitely unlock it they just choose not to. Regardless I got mine unlocked today with cellunlocker.net took about 15 minutes and cost $24.99. Got my GS4 on T-Mobile for now.

Further proof that the unlock code is available!
I was at AT&T. We looked up the information while in the store. If you sign the 2 year contract they will give you the unlock code after 3 months. If you pay full price and go prepaid service you have to wait 6 months before they will give you the code. I read it right from the AT&T's sales reps. tablet.

I've read several accounts of people who recently bought an Att phone at full price and with no contract who where able to unlock their phone through Att. You really have to be vigilant. I just ordered an s4 from amazon and will try to unlock it tomorrow to use with my T-Mobile sim.
I unlocked mine through a code purchased from a website. Not helpful if you're trying to get ATT to do it, but proof it can be done!

What if we're buying this full price as a gift? Sighs, would they give unlock code?
If you unlock using a code bought from one of this website offering this kind of service would it be a permanent unlock? You won't have any problem updating firmwares, OS, or anything?

They do not currently have them in stock yet, but will accept your order. Sold direct from Amazon. I ordered one because it's $50 cheaper than a carrier locked.

Well HTC themselves won't have it available for shipment until April 3rd, so it will most likely be the 3rd when Amazon ships as well. I may just place my order there as HTC is a hassle

Well I got lucky and ordered the Dev edition on HTC's site before they pulled it down. I did however receive a cancellation email. I called back and they put it back in, (had an issue with my bank) and she even waived the overnight shipping for me. Said it will ship next week. The only thing is, order status says shipping today.
One question, Anyone know if the Dev Edition will work with AT&T LTE?

The Developer Edition is based directly off of the AT&T SKU of the phone. This means it's only fully supported by AT&T's network, and no others.
Edit: I ordered mine while it was still up also, but it got cancelled and I couldn't re order. A few users have talked to HTC, and they've said the Dev edition will ship on 4/3 so I'm pretty sure that's when it will happen. You got lucky though, they weren't that nice to me XD
Anyhow, I ordered one from Amazon at the above link with prime overnight shipping, so I truly hope it comes relatively soon. They won't charge me until it ships, though, so that's nice.
Thanks... I canceled my Google play edition and ordered the developer edition gunmetal color. Ordered with next day prime shipping, with Amazon's awesome customer and return policy I prefer to buy from them instead of HTC or Google.

I would order from Amazon with prime as well, however Amazon would charge me sales tax since I am in New York. Which is sorta a deal killer.
Sorry but can someone just quickly explain what is the difference between DE unlocked and regular unlocked? I am on T-Mobile and it seems T-mobile hasn't even released any info on it and HTC.com is only showing the other 3.

as far as i know DE is the okay way to be unlocked with out voiding any warranties. The regular unlock is us being sneaky and doing it.
The only confirm htc one m8 working with tmobile is currently the googleplay edition.
I am 99 % sure the DE is using the ATT bands.

Yes I read that somewhere too, that the DE is more or less a gimmick and not as fully unlocked the moniker suggests. If that's the case, then the unlocked edition is fine and I would save myself the the extra $50 over the GPE..

The only thing is if your on tmobile you will not get coverage everywhere with the DE, so that the big thing.
If that's not a problem then get the DE. I myself rather pay the 50 extra and know I have 4g/LTE wherever I go.

The unlocked version is the same as the DE. Just doesn't have a unlocked boot loader to flash freely as DE. It's still doesn't have the right Band to give you 4g/LTE everywhere.

OK so here's what I know:
The HTC One M8 Google Play Edition is fully unlocked, and fully supports T-Mobile and AT&T in the USA.
The HTC One M8 Developer's Edtion has the exact same bands as the AT&T model, so it is fully supported by them only. It, too, is fully unlocked, but it doesn't have the AWS band for T-Mobile. Both of these phones are usable overseas, however, and this is why there's an advantage over a carrier version.
There has been no official word on the specs/compatibility of an unlocked non-developer version yet, so I can't comment there.
Lastly, the reason the GPE, Dev, unlocked, and 32GB carrier versions are delayed is that the 32GB phone isn't technically out yet.
There's most of what I know about the situation as of now.

I got a Nexus 6 straight from Sprint, and I'm using my Verizon sim. The Verizon sim actually works better. I only have data with my sprint sim I can't send or receive texts or make or receive calls. I get a message cannot validate you account when trying to make a call. Everything works flawlessly with my Verizon sim.

Not to sound like an advertisement but I got my att model from bestbuy sim locked and used Cellunlocker to unlock it.
as of this moment, onlty att locks the sim. people are speculating if verizon will also do this, but its only att at the moment.
Another nod for Sprint being unlocked. I just put my N6 that I got 2 days after it hit the Sprint shelf on Tmobile and it rings for incoming calls again. Sprint has network issues and I got tired of missing calls and having cust service always start out with "factory reset your phone." My note 3 had the same issue on Sprint. 15 mins for Tmob to setup the account and put the sim in. 0$ and a better plan price to boot.

my experience with Verizon's version of the Galaxy Nexus left a bad taste in my mouth. I will be very very hard pressed to ever buy a verizon branded phone ever again. they do get my money though. That I don't mind paying for because I have signal everywhere I go and the legacy unlimited data plan.
The carrier locks aren't really a big deal in any case. $20 and you can get it unlocked at any number of cell unlocking sites.
Would rather it not be locked at all, but isn't that big of a deal....

As of today, if you are not under contract with the carrier that the phone is locked to, or owe them money due to an EIP, they have to unlock the phone.

AT&T are the only ones that are carrier locked, unless it was purchased outright or paid off, I would really double check with whoever you're buying it from and have them meet you at a sprint store to actually check everything out before you commit
