Going hands on with the HTC One tomorrow - anything to look for?

[turb0wned]

Well, I guess he's just trolling..

 

[Eridon Gottlieb]

Let us know about the Ultra Pixels. And see if you can get any details as far when it will be out for pre ordering

 

[StealthTH]

I hope he comes back, there might be an NDA.

Yeah either this or he was yanking us :-\

I guess we'll have to see if there is a happy ending.

No trolling or NDA lol. Just busy selling, and a bit underwhelmed by the rep's presentation. He didn't bring phones or breakfast as promised. Some of my thoughts based on the presentation and talking with him after:
According to the rep, the phone should drop by the end of the month, much sooner than I expected but HTC has alot riding on this. Sprint is still mum on a date.
Advertising will be at Samsung levels (Movie theaters, TV, print, etc)
The camera is sick, HTC Zoe is a nice feature, great built in photo editing (auto object removal, merging photos together) and the live gallery is interesting
He didn't seem to know if they fixed the mulittasking issues.
Beats Audio will work through the front speakers
No carrier logo on the presentation, but I think it was a generic show. From how much they are pushing the "zero gap" feel of the design, I'd say there is a >50% chance of no carrier branding.
Will come in 32gb and 64gb versions for Sprint
Sprint Zone is definitely on there, not sure about the others.
Sim is most likely embedded, there are no gaps to add one. You basically have a charge port, headphone jack and power button, the rest is smooth with no seams.
Display is 1080p, they did not use the no gap tech that LG did, so outdoor performance should match the EVO LTE
BlinkFeed, while a silly name, looks like Windows Tiles on steroids
Sprint version will not have EVO tag, there may be a lower end EVO later. Design stays the same as all other HTC Ones.
Sense Flip clock is still available, but they were trying to go the more minimalistic route with Sense 5.
HTC Sense TV, with the right devs, could be a breakout product. Just need to get the cable/sat providers on board.

If seed devices hit before launch, I will be able to check out hands on features.

The GSM version I saw at the launch does have a micro-sim tray, there's a little key that you use to pop out the tray to insert and remove the sim card. It's similar to the sim slot on the Windows Phone 8X.

how about AT&T Release date?

 

[Alzaeem_502]

I heard AT&T will release the ONE on 3/24. I read it here on the forum from an insider. I hope that helps.

Don't quote me on that though.

Don't ask me for the link b/c am too lazy to find it

Good day

Dang I'm kind of wanting this but still loving my iPhone 5 and my contract with VZW isn't up till Sept. Plus AT&T who I would switch to doesn't have LTE in my area yet.

Doh'! Thanks, I guess I'll need to get a new sim too and it'll be harder to swap phones around. Oh well.

Just get a nano to micro sim adapter on amazon for $3.00

Sweet, thanks. I didn't know they made those.

 

[Eridon Gottlieb]

Any idea about AT&T's No contract price? I'm thinking like all of AT&T other devices where sold at least at $549. So I'd expect the 32GB HTC One would be $549 and the 64GB for $649.99. I say that because the price for the HTC One X+ was $549 since its been released. Would be crazy that AT&T would raise a 32GB phone to more then $549

 

[trandz]

That sounds right to me. Wish there return policy was still 30 days as now i have to return the note early and use a old crappy focus

I know, that policy stinks now. But I hope I'm correct overall as far as a No-Contract Price is.

 

[Eridon Gottlieb]

Well I got a great plan i have planned out so If the HTC One does get pushed backed in the states I have a phone I will buy and return it during AT&T 14 day return policy. I think I may be the HTC One X+ on Monday, that way I can have time return the phone on the 25th. So say if I buy it on Monday and HTC is going to release it on the 22nd, I can return the phone ahead of time that way I don't have to pay the $35 restocking fee. If I find information close around the 22nd, I will already have extra money to pay for restocking and I can just exchange the One X+ for the new One. That's a smart idea to do, buy something comperable to the new phone, and have a great time frame to return it if HTC has gotten their situation fixed. If there really definite about a huge push back on release, I will either blow money on the One X+, or spend less and get a nice LG Optimus 4X HD for a great price and pocket money.
