Re: ITS HERE!!!!

Maybe you were in a sprint store? Every one has a camera these days not hard to get pictures of cases with VZW logos on packages or set up your phone to snap a quick pic of the boxes. We do know sprint is getting a red HTC one soon. Maybe that's what u saw
I was expecting a post like this eventually. As you all can see I dont really post that often, only when I feel something lines up with what I understand to be true. The leak of the Verizon Roadmap had me interested in this week. Visiting the store to outfit my GFs new iPhone with an Otter, I noticed both the commuter and defender cases for the HTC One. I was not extremely suprised as I was under the assumption they were being released Thurs according to the road map. After purchasing the case I noticed the employee had an HTC one infront of him and I immediately questioned him about it. He stated he also had Sprint (explains why he had it) I continued to ask if they had any news or updates regaurding the 8-1 date. Withoutasking he shot into the back of the store and brought 2 boxes out (one silver and one black) HTC Ones. A smile and nod to the question of Thursday avaliability and I was on my way.

I should have just labeled this something else but I was too excited.

My UAG case has been ordered today.

There's literally no good reason for a corporate Verizon employee to have a Sprint phone. Are you sure you werent in one of those weird franchise places that sells multiple carriers?

Re: ITS HERE!!!!

By this point and time there isn't much of a reason to want this phone or get it when it comes out. We have seen so many sales happen for the HTC on the other carries. There really isn't much point in the phone now. Also, with the LG G2 coming out, it's better to wait.
 
Re: ITS HERE!!!!

Why do we have to be so quick to discredit the OP? Previously I worked in wireless for years and at times I did have a different carriers phone if i liked it and the carrier I worked for didn't carry it. I think the ONE is still a great option for current devices as it's just as good or better than the new Droid lineup and the upcoming Moto X. I wouldn't put it past Verizon to quietly release the ONE especially with the new Droid lineup coming out. Droid is where Verizon makes their money.

Having worked for Verizon in the past all i can say is this: you can be fired for having a competitive phone out on the sales floor in view of customers. To me this is sounding like it's an authorized agent or a dealer or a really poor VZW store. In fact, you can get in trouble for using your smartphone for personal use during work hours. Technically, you're only suppose to have your PROVIDED work smartphone on you during work hours. Of course, people will have their personal on them as well, but if a manager wants to enforce it the penalties for even using a VZW branded personal smartphone during work can include termination, but a competitive smartphone is and always has been grounds for termination at Verizon if you have it on the sales floor.
 
Re: ITS HERE!!!!

Pics or it didn't happen!

Also, a VZW employee showed me his personal phone, Droid DNA, and his work phone, Galaxy S4, when I was asking about the S4 and HTC One. Of course he didn't have a One to show me. This was about three weeks ago.

Thank you. Never having worked for Verizon, only Best Buy. I have friends/roomates that work for both ATT and Vzw, and both carry different carrier phones with them to work. As to Verizon quietly launching phones, its happend in the past and im sure will happen again, its nothing new. We have plently of reasons to believe it will happen with the HTC One (leaked road map, new droid line up, announcement of Moto X). Let's wait until Thursday!

I post everywhere my friend... Not exclusive to just one thread section.

There are so many ridiculous "trolling" comments. People need to stop being over sensitive about a phone and realize that many members including myself post where I feel like posting. Forums are not solely for people who own the specific phone or are on a specific carrier.
 
Re: ITS HERE!!!!

I was tired of waiting and bought an S4 a week ago.

Actually anything but iPhone is where Verizon makes their money. Specifically windows phone.

Re: ITS HERE!!!!

I just called the local Verizon store in NYC and they confirmed the HTC One will be on sale Thursday.
 
Re: ITS HERE!!!!

Created an account just to post on this thread. I read it at work yesterday at around 4pm and went to my local Verizon retailer on the way home. I asked about the HTC One and the employee confirmed for me that the phone will be available starting Thursday.

I'll be picking mine up Thursday morning.
