I agree the price is high, on or off contract. Not sure why T-Mobile is $50 more than AT&T and Sprint (On Contract.)

Let's me select a plan and put it in my cart, not sure why you're not getting that option. I don't have T-Mobile and I've already pre-ordered with Sprint so that's as far as I went with it.

I was able to add a T-Mobile version to my cart at full price through Best Buy. I still need to resolve the status of my pre-order with LetsTalk, so I haven't tried to actually check out, but from all outward appearances, Best Buy will indeed let you order.

Oh that's cool. I'm done with worrying about a T-Mobile version at this point. I'll be fine with the dev version.

Until you realized you paid $650 for a phone stuck on EDGE.....

Nope... I have 1900 in my area so I'm good and once LTE is launched in my area, I'll that too. I know what I'm doing.

Interesting. So Best Buy isn't doing the whole 99 dollar for the phone thing? Seems odd.

I could be wrong, but my understanding is that the $99 upfront for the phone plus monthly installment payments is only available on the new "UnCarrier" plans, and the new "UnCarrier" plans are only available directly from T-Mobile, so it would make sense that Best Buy isn't offering it.

The problem with it is that, even though they say its done where your at, the full city is actually lit with it. A lot of people saying that (the iPhone people). Good luck though, I would love the 64GB one.

Trust me man. I know what I'm doing. We have already been using the 1900 band on iphones in my area since the beginning of the year. I don't drop 649 without knowing what I'm doing lol. Not sure why you're trying so hard to make me feel like I made a bad purchase when I know exactly what I need where I live. Thanks though.

My situation is similar. I had a Iphone 5 and used it in my city were 1900MHz is available. It was spotty in my house (switching back-n-forth from 3G to Edge) but it worked well once I was out in town. I was getting pretty good data speeds, not as good as my nexus 4 but, pretty good.

I bought the 64GB dev version of the HTC one also and think it will work similar or maybe even better than the Iphone did.

Ah, I was under the impression all the plans were switching over to uncarrier plans and there would be no more "contract" plans.

Yeah I actually get very good 1900 in my area. Every time we are out, I always ask my wife is she seeing 3g on her phone and for the most part she said yes and of course that's what I was seeing on mine when I had one. And I have wifi at home and work. So I will be fine.

Yeah I did as well. I they thought new customers could only choose from the new ones. But good to know.

So, I went to check the Best Buy site for the Tmobile Pre Order and I noticed that it's greyed out and won't let you select it. It shows The One as available for Tmobile but you can't access the page. Sprint and AT&T seem to be working fine. The link in the OP seems to be working fine though. Kind of strange.
