i had ordered one HTC ONE unlocked 32GB on 3rd May and its still showing the status as 'back ordered' and next shipping date keeps on changing, as of today its showing as 5/23. I desperately want ONE and going impatient every day. its making me to look towards Dev edition HTC ONE which is in store.. Apart from communication, my primary phone consumption is browsing, entertainment and games.. i dont root the phone and will be happy with default phone settings.. but since i dont have any knowledge about a DEV EDITION, want to know few details..
1) if you are not gonna root the phone what is the advantage of a Dev edition over unlocked version,?? apart from additional 32 GB, does it have any other advantage like getting regular android updates quicker and something like that ??
2) is rooting mandatory to use as a normal phone for any carrier ?? even without rooting will it work like an unlocked phone ??
3) what are the disadvantages of Dev edition HTC ONE over unlocked version ??
4) what are the differences between an unlocked version and a dev edition HTC ONE ??
5) i read somewhere that all dev editions are made for ATT and hence can not be used under T-Mobile high speed networks, is it true ??
4) is spending additional $80 (ie $650) is worth on the Dev edition HTC ONE ??
Kindly let me know the answers so that i can decide and get ONE soon.. Thanks in advance
