No inside info, but I saw the Sprint press release saying they will sell it, and how great it is...... I can't wait. I'm eligible for my upgrade May 1st
Is this phone going to be released on the Sprint network? I just called HTC and couldnt get a straight answer....No reason to buy accessories if I can't use the phone on my Sprint account.....HJ
This is the best info I could compile about Sprint availability over the last couple of days. Sprint has really been hiding behind their initial press release and been very tight lipped about availability.
Sprint will NOT be doing pre-orders due to a very tight launch window. Apparently that Verizon exclusive leaves very little time for that.
The phone will launch in limited availability in stores, online and telesales on Friday 5/13/2016 and not any sooner. LImited availability referring to only the Glacial Silver version being available "at launch" directly from Sprint. No word on whether HTC will offer other color options directly on their site.
In regards to Sprint users being left out in the cold when it comes to the promo codes that were sent out earlier for pre-order. I did get this tidbit from HTC via twitter:
I got my HTC 10 at the store today. It launches in the morning but they let me have it a day early. Since I got it in store I did pay the $30.00 activation fee. I was eligible for an upgrade and I paid $624.00 for the phone. It is only available for purchase or installment purchase. No leasing. I paid the taxes for the phone and the $30.00 activation fee. My taxes were $51.48. They could be different depending on your location as we have a town center improvement tax to pay as well. The installment payment will be $26.00 a month for 24 months. Sprint does offer the option to pay an additional $10.00 a month to upgrade after 12 months time. With this option if you do upgrade you turn in the phone for the upgrade. I did not chose this option.
The store only had one screen protector and no covers. So I had nothing to chose from. I ordered the ice view case from the HTC website today but as we know they are not in stock yet.
I love this phone! My M8 was great but it really was time for an upgrade and this 10 is an awesome looking phone and it feels great in my hand. I really hate having to put a cover on it.
Colors are silver and black. I was hoping Sprint would have red like the Evo.
Hope this helps.
strange i checked that it was online and it was for 199 after mail in rebate then i logged in and it shows 249 but nothing about mail in rebate
not sure i want to wait for shipping but cant get to a store til late tomorow
