HTC's website when the phone is available

Thank you I will go to that site when I get home. I have been waiting for an alternative of iPhone and this phone seems to suit and be warranted of my liking.

I'm so interested in the IR blaster feature b/c I want to use my phone as a remote control as well. Currently I enjoy my Logitech harmony 650 for controlling 5 devices and can only imagine how fun it must be to walk into a club beer stnad and suddenly start changing channels LOL not that I'm going to do that but I'm sure it could be used (HTC One) as a mobile remote control (I can not do that with my harmony 650), a good example the TV and cable at my job during breaks and lunch, the TVs at the gym's threadmill and so on.

Thank you again. I only hope the same LTE bands work on AT&T and tmobile alike.

Unfortunately the Dev edition is not available for pre order though, i would expect tomorrow or Friday but i am not sure. But it should work on both T-Mobile and ATT with no problems. I am quite excited for the IR blaster too ever since i got a smart phone i kept thinking "what if i could use my phone as a remote, that would be cool!" without having to buy a $1500 smart tv.. i can now use it to change channels on any tv that i own! Assuming it is supported

Yeap the IR Blaster feature also reminds me of the Palm pilot days right.

Heh funny story i was probably too young for those crazy phones or i didnt notice them! I had an iphone 3g for a few years im only 19 right now... i dont even remember what i had before that how sad..,

 

[chestvrg]

Well those were the good days. I had a palm tungsten running at 400Mhz. It had an IR port and I remember using a program to go along to change channels, then I had a Treo 650, same thing. The reception wasn't so powerful (the signal) but they used to get the job done ...oh I'm 35 yrs old.

It will NOT work on T-Mobile's HSPA if you aren't in an area that T-Mobile upgraded to the 1900MHZ.

Oh man, I went to the website but it reads coming soon.

Than you.

One more thing to keep in mind when it comes to the DE HTC One is that it comes in limited quantities, so i guess first come first serve.

So I saw AT&T has the ONE at $599.99 for full retail. A little more expensive than I thought it'd be, so that sucks. Anyone know any sites/stores that would have a competitive price for full retail?

[chestvrg]

Yeah $599 is too expensive for a locked unit on AT&T, if it was the developer edition it would out some leverage.

 

[scorpiodsu]

Considering iPhones start at $599 for 16GB unlocked.... that's not too bad. I mean a 64GB iPhone 5 unlocked is $799. This one is $649. Not bad, relatively speaking that is.

 

[chestvrg]

Yes but the iPhone doesn't come with all the crapware the carriers put on their devices. I would buy it if it was complete unlocked and firmware clean (with no AT&T bloatware)

Fair enough. But software isn't a price factor for me, especially when I will be able to remove it later which is probably why both carrier versions and developer versions of 64GB are the same price I wouldn't value no "bloatware" at $150. But to each their own. Good luck in whatever you decide. I'm still waiting on t-mobile.

 

[chestvrg]

K. I have to debate this inside my head is hard.

True, but like cheatvrg stated, it's locked to a carrier. Plus I was under the impression it'd retail at $549. It's like $60-$70 more than I had planned for (after tax).
