1. Anyone bought one for use with Tmobile yet? Where did you get it?

2. The One for Tmobile will not work with the rest of the world. This really suck.

1. You can order it directly from T-Mobile or BestBuy
2. I am not sure what you mean. Of course, none of the US Carrier versions will operate on LTE overseas but the T-mobile version should have all the phone bands covered. The following is from T-Mobile's website:

GSM bands 850/900/1800/1900 MHz
UMTS: Band I(2100)
UMTS: Band II(1900)
UMTS: Band IV(1700/2100/AAWS)
UMTS: Band V(850)
LTE Band: 4, 17

Anyone else buy the phone outright with an existing prepaid plan? If so, did your old sim card work right away? It didn't for me.

The clerk at the T-mobile store inputted my phone number into their computers but then proceed to place my old sim into the HTC One and I was on my way. When I got back to work, I realize that my phone still isn't detecting any network. Did the clerk screw up and I was supposed to use the new sim? Or was I supposed to ask him to sim unlock my phone?

Thanks.

If it's a T-Mobile phone, maybe check your APN settings -

Otherwise a call to T-Mobile is probably in order.

Product Ambassador supporting the launch of the HTC One here. The black version is available for web orders, telesales, and direct ship from store reps as of today. There is no instore inventory so the rep will direct ship you one from the warehouse, either to home or store.

Inventory will be on hand at a later time. So order up if you want it in black.

Enjoy!!!

Can I get the unlock One from HTC website and it will work 100% on Tmobile?

===============

Lets say if I get a new phone from a user, it can get blacklisted from Tmobile if something bad happen to the user or he/she didnt pay the penalty for early termination?

Yep, it can get blacklisted for that.

Don't know about the other. If you mean the dev phone, best check in our other thread for that.

My upgrade through att won't be available until june 1. not too far away. I know that fathers day is shortly after that and there might be some killer deals. until then, do you guys know of any good prices for people who might be looking now? I think i heard something about amazon wireless selling it for $50 off if you're upgrading or a new contract?

Just picked up the ONE phone to rule them all.... :D
I thought I would let you guys know that Sprint has a promo going with credit unions right now where they will appy a $100 credit to you bill and take 10% off of your monthly base charge. In addition, porting your number over from a competitor will also net you another $100 savings. I basically got the phone for free :D

That's odd. I got something in the mail from my credit union and called Sprint on it. It does save 10% as well as waiving the activation fee but they said nothing about $100 credit. Is this for a new line or upgrade of an existing line?

Edit: I called sprint sales today. They had no info on the $100.00 credit, normal price of $199.99 is what they told me

a Sprint store did me the same way, I preordered the HTC One and when it was released when I came to pick it up they didnt wanna sell it to me, I went to the corporate Sprint store and they sold me one with no problem.

Can I report that Sprint store that had me pre order and didnt wanna sell me the phone when it was time to pick it up? The manager there was rude and they were laughing at me. I really wanna report them, do I have a legit complaint anyone? I got the manager name also.

The Sprint store you preordered from wasn't a corporate store?
