Ok, so back to normal then.

toad6386 · Apr 3, 2013

And just as an FYI, AT&T and Sprint are listed on Best Buy's site at the standard $199. I don't see anything about pre-ordering, tho.

AT&T's pre-order is now live at both BEST BUY & AT&T.

As an added bonus,you can get the AT&T ONE in ANY color you wish,provided it's Glacial Silver.........

I have been trying to preorder mine on sprint.com and I tried on wirefly and neither of them are working, I keep getting an redirected back to a confirm order screen at sprint and on wirefly it says that it can't confirm my payment. I tried with multiple credit cards just to make sure it wasn't an issue with that. It's 5am here and I'm pissed I can place my order. Anyone else seeing this issue?

Abird! · Apr 5, 2013

Sorry to hear you having some issues

Have you tried bestbuy? I just placed my order on sprint and everything went smoothly...it's technically not even the 5th here yet 11:34pm HI time. Hope you're able to order it!

marctronixx · Apr 5, 2013

Lets keep the pre order discussions here.

I just placed the order on sprint.com at 0235 Pacific Time. took less than 5 minutes. I went for off contract pricing and picked up the silver (white) model.

I suggest you try a different browser, remove cookies, cache. Look on your card online and see if there have been any attempts to charge the order.

I just placed my order with Sprint. I tried to stay up late to order it but couldn't make it, I am getting to be an old man

Are you up to date on your bill? I'm on auto pay and it showed that I owed money for this month. I was getting an error message but once I payed the bill it went through.

I was experiencing the exact same problem. After trying 3 times with the same credit card, I used a different one and the order went through. Strange, as there were no error messages when I was doing this.

sikclown · Apr 5, 2013

Mine went through with no problems, happily

toad6386 · Apr 5, 2013

Just curious.. Anyone have an idea why no black yet, or time frame? Tho the silver would be better in the So Cen TX summer, I just don't have a warm and fuzzy about the silver One, yet... Thanks!

From what I have read across the interwebs,

The black is more difficult to manufacture so that is the reason for the delay. The black model may not be available until after the official launch

Well, maybe between that, my bad digitizer on my 3VO and the So Cen TX summer, I'll see about getting mu fuzzier warmer...

HTC is offering a free case. I just preordered from best buy yesterday.. Hmmmm i wonder if they will match it.

http://htconeprereg.com/brands/HTCPreReg/homebrands/index.htm

Called Best Buy and they said they don't even have any accessories for it in yet so they dont know. Best they could offer was 25% off any accessories.

vulcangrey · Apr 5, 2013

Preordered from Best Buy. I get the $50 gift card, that they had people sign up for earlier in the year, and I am trading my old Evo 4G into HTC for $100. I'll keep my EVO 3D for a spare phone.

Waiting a little longer for the Black, if it includes the 64GB option, might be well worth it.
The Evo 4G LTE Black (June 2) -> White/Silver (July 15) release dates were about 6 weeks apart, hopefully the wait for the Black One will be shorter than that.

Click to expand...

I wonder if HTC Is using the Micro Arc Oxidation (MAO) process again to treat their aluminum and create the Black HTC One? Yes, The CNC machining and MAO treatment are long processes, but they should have perfected it along with the build timing by now through experience creating the HTC One S, Evo 4G LTE, etc.
From the Chipworks/iFixit Teardowns we can tell that HTC has had component parts on had such as the uni-body since as early as Jan./Feb.

In my un-professional opinion that should have been more than enough time to put ALOT of uni-bodies through the supply chain, MAO process, then build up...
Maybe I'm intentionally being a little na

Black models have certainly made it to reviewers, but fewer customers have had them for sure.

I expect that the black is more work to produce, but the silver is also more distinctive, so I wonder if that's a factor if they have to prioritise one version - get the more easily recognisable one into people's hands first?

I've never worked in marketing, so have no idea whether they'd think that way.

EarlyMon · Apr 6, 2013

Get the return on production investment happening asap.

Build the standard model by priority until orders support expansion and variations.

Already a lot of radio and firmware models to support.

Going 32 GB silver is economic production sense.

Even Samsung, far wealthier, is holding back on their 64 GB model. Same reason.

The black and 64 GB model combinations will come as demand increases. Both cost more to make, so they'll come later.

It's all about turning inventory. If you don't offer two choices without money coming in, you don't run out of one choice.

Coming soon vs. We ran out = Big difference.

Fine69 · Apr 6, 2013

wow they sold out yesterday on the T Mo preorders

KOLIO · Apr 6, 2013

Anyone else find this odd:Looks like BEST BUY will have the T-MOBILE version before T-MOBILE?
