Base storage will be 32GB. I for one have two 32GB Sd cards so I'll be upgrading for that reason alone. Also - my brother's phone is a cracked S3 so he'll inherit my beloved G2. :P

 

I'm more interested in the color available. I kind of like the lighter silver but we'll find out tomorrow which colors are available for which carriers. I wouldn't want a color that can be scraped off.

I personally like a gun metal grey color, looks silver in daylight but at night Its more black. But the current one in red looks great, reminds me of a red rum plasti dipped m3.

Are you feeling OK? You look a little ill. You should probably go home and get some rest.   Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk

My cousin is on AT&T and he's upgrading to this same device so I gotta make sure I don't grab the same color as him. LOL

 

The blue M7 looked amazing also.  Wondering if blue will be an available color again,  From what I hear, Best Buy has the exclusive gold color.

I currently have the One in silver and red but I am hoping that sprint has the New One in blue.  If not then my next choice will be red then the gunmetal grey.

Many sites are saying that this device is an in store exclusive only. You'll be able to purchase online but you can only get it in store on Verizon for about 2 weeks.

If this is true then that will be pretty awesome, guess we will find out in a few hours.

Engadget is reporting that a Google Play Edition will be available at launch:

Best part is that HTC is apparently making its apps available from the Play store as well, so we can take advantage of apps that really leverage the hardware (camera, IR blaster) without the rest of the bloat.  Very encouraging!

 

If, of course, a Sprint version of the Google Play Edition is available.

Other carrier will be taking order by April 10th, so I would assume it could be well before that as well.

Looks like you were right.  So I will be ordering two sometime today as soon as possible.

Yes, we can order online sometime today.

So looks like Verizon is the only one that has them in stores today, then? I was hoping to go grab it from maybe Best Buy on Sprint.

I'll be purchasing this device today. I think this device generated as Mich hype as the EVO did. Hopefully that doesn't mean montths of being sold out. Gunmetal too! And they are hyping up radio performance.

 

I wonder what AJ's stance on this device is.

I'm ready to go play with one in a store to compare it to my G2, I like the phone just nit sure would it be worth going to from a G2. Only concern is the slightly smaller battery in it, but I'll past judgement when I seen some stats from real users with real day to day stuff.

 

Edit: just looked at it on phonearena site and it don't show its tri band? I'm guessing it is just listed correctly at the time.

AJs article confirms it's triband enabled. Every Sprint phone from here on out will be triband enabled.

Ok, hopefully once Sprint starts rolling out the b26 it will be interesting. I'm on the fence about this phone, not sure if I should spend the money on it or not.

      Kind of amazing that T-Mobile is still holding onto that speed title despite Verizon all but killing off lowband 5G on their network. While Verizon is mostly being evaluated on mmWave and C-band performance, T-Mobile and AT&T's average 5G speeds include their massive lowband 5G networks that are significantly slower.

      Yup. Very true. We were originally on an Everything Data 1500 Plan, which got Unlimited Minutes thanks to Marcelo's "Loyalty Benefits" offer. We then switched to Unlimited Freedom (with the Free HD add-on that Sprint originally wanted $20/month per line for.... remember that?) because the pricing was better with "iPhone for Life", vs. the "Loyalty Credit" for staying on a Legacy Plan. After that, I ran the numbers and switched us over to Sprint MAX, especially for the international travel benefits. There's absolutely no reason for us to switch to Go5G Plus or Go5G Next if we're going to do BYOD by purchasing from Apple/Samsung/Google directly as we've been doing. These new plans aren't priced for current customers to switch to. They're priced for new customers, where they throw in a free line, etc. It's gone from "Uncarrier" to "Carrier". What a shame.

      Strange business model that they keep around all these pricing plans. 1000s of plans per carrier is reportedly not uncommon.  Training customer support must be a nightmare. Even MVNOs have legacy plans. A downside of their contract mentality I guess. Best to change contracts during a recession. But then all carriers try to squeeze out legacy plan benefits as they grow old.

      Everything "Uncarrier" is becoming "Carrier" again. Because of the Credit Limit that T-Mobile put on our account for no reason at all (and wouldn't change/update the last time I checked all the way up to the CEO), I don't plan on buying/upgrading our iPhones through T-Mobile. I'm going through Apple directly. Looks like I'll be going through Google and Samsung directly for our other lines for upgrades. Also, we're staying on Sprint Max given the ridiculous pricing for Go5G Plus. On Sprint Max, we currently pay for our Plan: $260 for 7 Voice Lines $25 for two Wearable Lines. (One is $10/Month. The other is $15/Month because the AutoPay discount only applies up to 8 lines.) Total: $285/Month vs. Go5G Plus (Per the Broadband Facts "nutrition label" on the T-Mobile Website): https://www.t-mobile.com/commerce/cell-phone-plans $360 - ($5 AutoPay Discount x 7 Voice Lines) = $325 The Watch Plans show as either $12/Month or $15/Month: https://www.t-mobile.com/cell-phone-plans/affordable-data-plans/smartwatches So this is about the same for the wearables as what we're paying now. Overall, it's quite more than we're paying now to switch plans. Ridiculous....
