So when it says carrier versions it means only from HTC? Cuz the article I read said you could get AT&T and t-mobile and if you ordered by 2 p.m. tomorrow from AT&T you would have it the next day. that's when I called Sprint and asked if they were doing the same thing and telesales said that it was supposed to go on sale at midnight tonight online only for early pre order I hope that's true cuz now I'm wondering.
AT&T and T-mo are also doing their own sales tomorrow, and you might very well get them faster. However, if you are buying unlocked, the HTC pricing appears to be cheaper than AT&T for the full cost of the phone. I don't know how fast HTC plans to ship, they just said people should get them next week.
