Verizon - Release Date Prediction for HTC One - Phil - You should give a prize to winner

[packerbacker]

The longer Verizon takes, the bigger my hatred gets for them. If I didn't just get a job that I will ensure I need to strictly budget my money (I'm not complaining - I was desperate for a teaching job) I would switch carriers and get the One somewhere else. Verizon sucks. Let's make an announcement, get people excited, and then just sit on our hands and not do anything. Maddening.

I say go ahead and trade your phone into ATT and get the One. Do you need Verizon?

I understand and know the frustration but in all fairness to VZW; they have been doing this for years now, so it cant be a surprise to anyone. I get too good of a deal ATM to even consider switching but I applaud others that do, its only increased competition that will likely make them change their ways.

No, I don't need Verizon. But it would be foolish of me to switch, despite AT&T's coverage being "good" in rural Arizona where I am moving next month. Verizon's coverage is better. I'm on a family plan with my parents and brother and pay significantly less a month for my line than I would if I went out on my own with AT&T. I know this is nothing new when it comes to Verizon, but my parents have had them for like 7-8 years.

Yeah if that's the case then it would be hard to part with the coverage that you've been used to for a while.

Got tired of waiting for Verizon HTC One. Ordered DNA for one cent on Amazon this weekend. Giving up my Droid Pro.

Hoping that the delayed Verizon version will have some special feature(s) that sets it apart. Quick Charge for faster charging? Android 4.3? Wireless charging?

 

[xgman]

I think they are waiting for 4.2.2.

Whatever it is, I definitely think Verizon messed up this release. If they wait until end of August or beginning of September to release it, the question then becomes would I prefer to get a 6-month old HTC One, or wait one more month for a brand new iPhone 5S. As a person who likes the newest available tech at time I make my purchase, I'd have to strongly consider waiting for the iPhone. They'd make my decision much easier if they just release it in the next week or so!!

I think the only chance the iphone has to compete with this is maybe the IP6 in a possibly larger size than the 5. Otherwise, apples and oranges.

Actually I prefer a 4"-4.3" phone over a 4.7"-5" phone. I know it's apples and oranges, I'm just weird in that I like the newest apple or the newest orange lol. I'm not trying to start an Android vs. iPhone debate. I was just saying Verizon would make it easier for me to choose the One if they release in a couple weeks rather than in a couple of months.

On topic, July 18. No reason whatsoever. I'm just throwing it out there.

PM me for my mailing address. I want my HTC One case bedazzled with my name on it.

The One is pegged for release "later this summer" while the upcoming iPhone model will be a fall release, at the earliest. You won't see a new iPhone this summer, not even close.

I'm going to say it'll be out September 21, 2013. I figured this day because the first day of Fall is September 22, 2013. Can I have my prize now?

 

[MrEsy]

I'm guessing maybe a July 18 release or so. And I think that's being hopeful. I just hope they just tell us soon so I can stop worrying. It's kind of ridiculous how botched this release is. Getting one of the best smartphones 4 months late is ridiculous in itself but messing up the release this badly is unthinkable.

I looked at a One at the AT&T store yesterday....very nice. Handled a black one with 64GB memory. My main worry here is that Verizon will only offer a 16GB version or may be just a 32GB version and no 64GB.

 

[MrEsy]

I don't think they make a 16 gb one. However, I think the 64 is supposed to be exclusive to AT&T, so I think verizon might be stuck with a 32 only. That isn't a problem for me; I'm using a 16 gb 4s and I'm just about full so another 14 or 15 gigs (actual storage) will be perfect.

The 16GB one will be a Verizon exclusive lol

That would totally send me over the edge to AT&T.

 

[jova33]

Yeah, I'd have to ditch Verizon, sell the unlimited plan, and go to a new carrier.

The reason I think the 16GB HTC One could possibly happen, Verizon hasn't released an android phone with more than 16GB this year. 0 phones this year. To try and push their cloud? To try and increase revenue on their data plans? I don't know, but something to think about.

Honestly that would **** me off. The only thing that I dislike about my DROID DNA is the 16GB limit with no support for a microSD card.
