Anyone else really curious about how many were available to begin with? I don't recall previous dev editions of mainstream flagship phones selling very well but my theory on that is that those phones (like the razr dev edition and the gs3) were not available the same day the carrier model was released. I also think that if the HTC One dev edition weren't going to be available for another two week they wouldn't sell a quarter of what they probably already have. I've seen the Dev editions poopoo'd in a roundabout way before.. not so much that they exist but more so that people don't buy them after ******** about wanting unlocked bootloaders. I think people's impatience overrides their desire for an unlocked device though.

Anyway, I'm rambling now. Very excited for this phone and I hope that the strong early sales for the unlocked devices sends a message to ATT especially that there is a market for devices that aren't locked down.
 
There wasn't that many made to begin with. They're having trouble with components so they put most of the resources into the versions that would sell the most, the carrier versions. By doing that they also stopped another delay from happening, although it looks like T-Mobile may possibly get the shaft. The number of people who buy unlocked phones are very small.

I think HTC would've felt more comfortable delaying it again had the S4 been released in August instead of April.
 
If you can get to the actual order page for them both (Saved link) they say they will be back in stock on April 24th.

EDIT: When I looked yesterday it said the 24th. Looking right now actually says the 18th...
 
I'll be interested to see if HTC ends up restocking the unlocked/developer editions. I believe I read somewhere on their site that they would on the 24th but I don't see that now.
