If you go to preorder from HTC you have three choices. Unlocked, Tmobile and AT&T. Why would someone choose AT&T instead of just Unlocked? I don't get it? AT&T is not even going to be selling it. Does the AT&T version have AT&T bloatware? Just don't understand this so hopefully someone can enlighten me!
 
I think it just makes it easier for people to feel confident they are going to get the correct device--cuts down on confusion. They'll receive the unlocked one.
 
When I just checked it was only showing the unlocked model now. Perhaps that means all the AT&T and T-Mobile ones have been pre-ordered already and there are none left.
 
If you use the discount code HTC has the phone is now just 599.99 I am on ATT and I pre ordered I woudn't have bought it through ATT anyway I prefer unlocked and no carrier crap on it.
 
There is no selection but unlocked. As per the blurb underneath. I read elsewhere there will be no ATT version, only the unlocked for them. Tmobile and ATT use the same gsm so it would work on Tmobile too. Verizon and Sprint use CDMA so this wont work for them.

unlocked


"The Unlocked version is compatible with AT&T and T-Mobile. The HTC 10 will be available for Verizon Wireless, T-Mobile and Sprint soon."
 
They changed the site, actually, and took those buttons off.

ALWAYS buy unlocked if you have the option.
 
Jeff Gordon also replied to my tweet in that link and said VoLTE will work on AT&T, but I will believe it when I see it.
 
Cancel your order. And then do another pre-order with the coupon, I just did this

Darn, ordered unlocked version and later saw an email for $100

All you have to do is call them and they will adjust the price to reflect the coupon. I already received $100 back to my PayPal. Good service by HTC.

I did the same thing earlier today. They told me maybe a few days before money goes back to paypal. Super nice customer service person.
