Guess we'll know soon enough what the off contract price will be. I'd be happy if it was under $600 but somehow I doubt it. I seem to recall AT&T was charging $649 for the 16GB version? It's going to be fun having a few choices to compare the ONE to although I still think it is going to be the best choice for me personally. Feast or famine over there at Verizon. It wouldn't surprise me if they jacked up the price of the ONE off contract just to try to push more people onto the Droids or Moto X that they seem to have more of a vested interest in than anything from HTC.
