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.

Does it support both AT&T and T-Mobile LTE?
Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk
verizons carrier price is 599.99. Maybe youre talking about the other carriers?
ahhh..dev edition.
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.

Well for XDA heads and weekly flashers, isn't the unlocked version good enough if I am on T-mobile? Amazon is offering 2 versions and Google offering the GPE but at $699 and 2-3 week wait time :/

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.
You can also wait on tmobile theirs will be unlocked.

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.

Thanks! So much info has been pouring in lately I've only read the reviews and such. Not many have explained the different variants. Not to mention all the comparison videos and reviews which are coming comparing Z2, Find 7, S5, etc. But honestly, $700 plus tax is no joke.. :/

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!?

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.

Not many people are aware of this but att actually provides unlock sim codes up to 5 a year. I believe you just have to be in good standing with them for like 3 months or something close to that. Just call them up, they'll either do it over the phone or direct you to a website to submitt a request. I called them up recently to get the sim unlock for my gs4. After a few minutes they gave me the code. Now as soon as I get my note 3, I can sell my s4 as an unlock.

I am currently on a non-contract ATT plan. I ordered the Note 1 and it worked fine on tmobile and then ATT. I pre-ordered the Note 3 from handtec.co.uk. I am hoping to have it by Friday. Ideal: it should be shipped tomorrow 1-2 day FedEx. Hope that helps.

Even putting aside the bad English, your question does not make any sense. "unlocked" refers to GSM network only feature, called carrier lock or network lock. There is no such thing as "LTE unlocked" or any type of unlock for CDMA network, such as VZW

I also noticed they have new insurance plans that are fairly cheap. I was getting a 404 error yesterday but hopefully the kinks are worked out. It's good for accidents and drop protection.
So I can go to a t mo and buy it full price? Do I need to get a contract or something?
Or its better to just order it on negrie ? That way its already sim unlock also?

Whats better to get ? From t mobile or negri? Or pretty much the same? Are prices the same? So if I go to a t mo store and buy full price they will unlock it for me? As in sim unlock right? Will they charge for that?
I notice that negri has them already unlocked.. sim that is.. if thats what it is..
How does negri have them sim unlocked? I assume they buy bulks from carriers and unlock them ? This are not open boxes and repackaged?

If you need the phone like yesterday then go to the T-Mobile store. If you can wait a little bit by far Negri is cheaper. There is no tax and it is already SIM unlocked. It looks like T-mobile is asking you to wait 30 days before they SIM unlock it.

There could be a developer edition sometime in the future. I very highly doubt a google play edition because the Note 3 is focused to much around the S-Pen and the features it has in touchwiz. Stock android does not have those custom features.

The only difference (afaik) is that the Dev edition comes with an unlocked bootloader. Although the only way to get the gold color seems to be the unlocked variant. So do that if you have terrible taste.
You can boot loader unlock the unlocked model as well so don't see much difference.
Ordered the unlocked version in Silver color. Says ships on 03/30 and I chose one day shipping so should have this next Tuesday [emoji1]

Same.
Nexus 6P Unlocked can be used on all carriers. Will there be a Galaxy S7 Unlocked which follows? I will be sold if so...
You cant just buy a phone from a carrier and expect to flash an unlocked ROM on it. Partitions are different most of the time, etc...
My main concern is the speed of which updates are released. A carrier phone can take months longer than an unlocked phone. Yeah you can download custom ROMs here on XDA, but it's not the same and could have issues due to carrier kernel not being released.
Definitely a make or break deal for me at this point...
I really wished there was, but so far all of the carrier models have different bands, and I haven't heard of a US unlocked model that works for all of them.
I can't decide if it is worth the fight, or if I should just fall in line, and buy at&t's Fort Knox Edition.
They're a little more pricy (read +$200/300), but you can pre-order unlocked Qualcomm variants on eBay.
It's a hell of a markup, but if you're already paying $800 for a phone you're gonna use for the next couple years, may as well get one that's unlocked and will do what you want i.e. run AOSP, no?

Agreed, S7 Edge should be about $800 unlocked tops. Unfortunately there won't be unlocked phones until the actual release.

What was the time between the Samsung s6 edge pre-order and when the unlocked international versions came out? Because my UK s6 edge is soooooooo much better than the AT&T US version I originally bought and returned. I definitely want to just skip to the UK unlocked version this time around... but, of course, I don't want to wait a long time.
I'm assuming the s7 rollout will be similar, so that will let us know when the unlocked Samsung s7 edges can be expected. (I was an iPhone person until recently, so I don't know my Samsung history).
Thanks in advance for any info.
(For anyone wondering, not only was there that US AT&T bloatware nonsense -- but they actually removed cool things Samsung had added and removed deals and freeware Samsung had added to the phone. Just crazy. Things would be mentioned in the manual and not be on the phone anywhere. And then of course the bad updates as well.)
im the guy waiting for S7edge with S820 and choosing Snapdragon is of course to get update faster and support by the custom rom community than Exynos version.
As one of a guy responded in Reddit chat is to start ordering UNLOCKED SIM Samsung S7 from ebay would be the easiest and fastest option... I am ouside of US and really don't want to wait indefinitely their not-sure-release-date Carrier Unlocked version. Below is the one that I am watching closely. As it said Pre-order, I am a bit afraid of the RISK of ordering a phone that cost >1000$ without seeing actual unlocked & S820 phone as they mention.

tmobile unlock or wait?
I'm in the same boat here, although my situation is a little unique. I'm on Tmobile right now but I'm going to move to Thailand this summer, so the phone needs to be unlocked. According to tmobile they'll unlock the phone after i'ts been on the network for 40 days (I'm planning on buying it upfront). Should I go that route or just wait until the unlocked version shows up on amazon and just buy that?
Cheers
(Also, does anyone know how long it took for the unlocked s6 to show up on amazon?)
40 days of service active if you actually on postpaid. If it is prepaid it's $100 worth of payments.

All the carriers get the unlock code from Samsung... if you contact Samsung, T-Mobile users might not need to wait the 40 days. I just preordered the T-Mobile S7 Edge, and I'm with AT&T.

Did you have to get a mobile plan with them? They told me at the store that is the only way
T-Mobile no longer use codes. They use a unlock app. There is no way so far to input any codes to date on the devices that have it preinstalled.

Hey how do Samsung's devices do on Verizon?. Will there be less development for devices from Verizon? Are they locked down a lot more and harder to root? It he a deal breaker for me. Anyone have any idea ?
Would a Verizon phone work well on tmobile?
Yes but the bootloader will be locked down.

Well the Verizon will work well in most cases on T-Mobile however Verizon phones will always have a locked down bootloader. So if you buy it be prepared to potentially never unlock it for a very long time.

Thanks! So the best option would be Tmo?
If you want Wi-Fi calling , RCS, and VoLTE it's probably preferred. If you plan on rooting and custom Roms. Then T-Mobile is a good choice. T-Mobile for the past 4 years has always left it up to the manufacturer to either lock it or leave it. So far all but Sony have unlocked or unlockable bootloaders.
