HTC One preview thread (was "Any M7 takers?")

[HTCandroid]

Can this promo also be used with persons on/under a sprint employee line?

Just a reminder, it looks like today (April 4th) is the last day to sign up for the $100 gift card.

 

Also, I wonder if they have any way of verifying whether the devices we send in are actually active on our account at the time of purchase. Anyone have any thoughts? I mean, I don't have a problem activating my Mogul when I make my preorder, but I don't know if they might argue that the time of purchase is when it ships.

I can't see why not ... as long as the person has a device to trade in and can show proof of purchasing the One as specified.

I will be preordering online. I'm currently at work doing a maintenance so if it last past 12am I was going to check if the preorder site was live.

Ugghh... Sprint is "Out-of-stock" on Black HTC Ones. Same thing happening with AT&T.

Indeed, as long as we get it before the 30th. Im going to try a some of the stores around town tomorrow and see if i can get a black one.

 

HOLY HELL! Does that really say 19 hours of talk time or is that a typo?

Wouldn't be surprised since its packing the new Snapdragon 600 chipset.

Just called my buddy at my local corporate Sprint store, and he told me $50 down. Awesome!

 

But isn't this more of a "Give us $50 and we put your name on a list" ? Its not the same as pre-ordering on the sprint website.

Guys, the Snapdragon 600 (APQ8064T) is just a processor. This time last year, the hot chipset was the MSM8960, which is both processor and baseband modem. But the Snapdragon 600 has to use the separate MDM9615 baseband. So, the Snapdragon 600 has relatively little to do with talk time, since the screen is typically off, the processor mostly powered down during CDMA1X voice usage.

Just preordered my phone via telesales. Took a good 20 minutes but had no choice thanks to sprint.com being broken and not allowing upgrades.

[jsa]

It was thoughtful of them to take the site down the first day of the presale.

You were right. That's all it was. I put $70 down, and was the first person to pre-order. All I know is I will be there when the doors open on the 19th.

Oddly, there is usually something that happens when launching (this time pre-orders) the latest hot phone. Not sure why that is.

That's your private code, you need to edit and remove that picture unless you aren't planning to use it!

Yes, please take out your code!

Back on topic, I am ready to order this phone..but i have a bit of trepidation because of the way the EvoLTE handles LTE signals (or the lack thereof). Im usually ready to throw my phone in the trash when using a 3g signal..

[WiWavelength]

Just FYI, I asked Brian Klug at AnandTech about engineering screens on the HTC One. He said that, going forward, HTC will not include engineering screens in its final build ROMs because at least one carrier complained. Now, the Sprint variant HTC One could be an exception to this rule -- the EVO LTE certainly was in relation to the One X. But unless that is the case and the Sprint variant does include engineering screens, it will not be a great wireless network monitoring handset.

Anyone know if the nexus s 4g or epic 4g are eligible for the $100 deal. Otherwise, I'll have sprint bump my upgrade up 2 months.

I'm concerned about the same thing myself. I'm not eligible for an upgrade at the time, but I may pick up one out of contract if they really are as great as everyone is hyping it up to be. I'm waiting for others on here to get it and see what kind of feedback they provide regarding it's ability to connect to and maintain LTE, especially given how much progress MI has seen as of late with LTE coming online.

HTC is giving me $100 for my touch pro 2 so im pretty sure they will give you $100 for either of those devices.

Where can you find out if your phone qualifies? When i try to look up if its ok it just wants me to go through the process to get the $100.

You can go through the process to see how much they will give you for a device. You are not obligated to follow through with it.
