AT&T corporate stores in Northern California (and other select markets) is because they want to promote the Skyrocket for possible upcoming LTE markets. Such a pain, because I've been trying to exchange my device in-store for quite awhile.

Most of our top devs don't even get HSPA+ service... Why would we get a fatty LTE phone with a Crapdragon?

I don't get the fact that if this is going to be the flagship LTE device WHY the hell they would do it on less than GREAT hardware like THE SGS2. Why the screen resolutuion sacrifice, why the lesser of processors....I really don't give a crap....I am not getting that OTHER device......Its just stupid to do this to such a GREAT phone. But then again AT&T has always been stupid.

More to the story from the thread OP pulled the screenshot from. It's all in the last couple of pages of this thread.

First, it's great that your posting info like this that can help people make better decisions and I'm sure people in the selected areas mentioned will appreciate it.
But, this is what your originally posted...
plus, at&t is going to stop selling the OG SGS2 after nov. 6th.
but that's only at actual at&t stores, idk about like best buy, radioshack etc
If it were me, I would have posted that "to really push LTE, AT&T's offering special pricing in some markets and suspending the sale of HSPA+ phones at its corporate stores to highlight the Skyrocket and Vivid." Your post made it sound as if the ASGS2 is dead or dying and made no mention of other phones being effected. I don't know what the start/stop dates of the promo are but the Atrix 2, ASGS2, and other phones listed aren't going to be permenantly removed from those markets. It makes no economic sense especially because AT&T has volume commitments to uphold.
It's not only the ASGS2, it's a bunch other HSPA+ devices being suspended also in the markets mentioned. It seems nuts that AT&T would permenantly stop selling HSPA+ devices, two of which were just released, just to force people in to LTE phones. All the suspended phones can still be orderd online, over the phone, by request in a corporate store, and at a B&M partner store.
I don't even have hspa+ in my area.....so lte? Lol.....ya I'm sticking with this phone...

Well I know I called every store in my area that could possibly sell the SGS3 and everyone said they have no stock yet
I just talked to bestbuy in houston, and he said that all at&t pre-orders should be filled today, and IF they have any extra it will be first come first serve.
im hoping to stop by after work and pick one on contract for at&t and maybe sell or keep my international. have not decided quite yet.
I just went into Sprint and AT&T in hopes they had a dummy unit. I am on Verizon but I wanted to try out the phone. Both stores told me they wont have any to try until the 28th
I have been looking to get a S3 for AT&T and its not available in any store, I'm in Denver, doesn anyone know if its in any store here?
So now that we have seen the One become available on the other two carriers, let's post any updates on the HTC One from T-Mobile USA, as far as when and what versions become available for order, etc., as well as observations, suggestions, questions about T-Mobile specific HTC One specs, etc.
I for one would like to keep my eye on a few things to start with, so I'll kick it off:
Will T-Mobile/HTC ever actually make a One available in 64GB? (very wishful thinking).
How well does the HTC One perform with the radios that have been enabled specifically for T-Mobile's upgrading network?
If you see proof positive of T-Mobile taking orders, post it!
Thoughts on initial build quality and possible coming improvements to hold out for before ordering? (since we are the last to order these, might as well look at the bright side and hope to avoid initial build issues by not hastily ordering

I believe the HTC One 64 GB is a timed at&t exclusive. T-mobile as of now will only have the One in silver. Hopefully black will come soon for those who what it. Maybe since the iPhone launch is behind them they can announce a launch date for the One now.

aw man i was hoping to grab the black one on launch
I think the bigger question is when exactly is this phone going to come out?
Sure I've saw online that it's the 19th! But then I've called around to tmobile stores and Called customer care and they don't have a clue :banghead:
Even worse some say it may be lunched with the Samsung galaxy s4 on May 1st
Anyways, does anyone have a date when pre-orders will ship with bestbuy or letstalk?

No carrier has the black one as HTC doesn't have them for US initially. They are small potatoes they can't handle both colors launching at once. I hope tmobile releases end of month but I think they are pushing iPhone. I am sure in order to get iPhone from apple they committed to heavily advertising and pushing that phone at least for a while.
TMO Radio
I am wondering whether I can just order the developer one, and then just flash the TMO radio on it once that launches. There should be nothing really different between the devices. Does anybody know if I could do that?
I went to speak to a Tmo rep and he said this, The HTC One is delayed and we probably wont see it until May. Makes me very sad! I was really looking forward to it being available for the 19th! I too want the htc one in black but all i've seen is silver and the only black i've seen with hopes of being released is sprint. If you go to their homepage you will see Black coming soon! I'm not sure what to do if the Galaxy is launched before the one for tmo.. decisions, decisions.. lol
I don't really wanna pay high att prices but sometimes money don't matter when you want the ONE and u want it on the 19th..I would of gone with.the unlocked but they have done with the reframing in OK.
Sent from my HTC_Amaze_4G using xda app-developers app
I am trying to think why would T-mobile not make an announcement about the one. I mean can they not handle launching another phone alongside the iphone? I don't understand. The longer they wait the more people will go to S4 initially and then if it takes longer maybe something from Google at the I/O no? I guess Tmobile doesn't care if you buy the s4 or something else as long as you are with them. More phones more customers no?
The T-Mobile phones are already made and just waiting for T-Mobile go ahead.

What does tmobile care? This weekend proved that iphones make them boat loads of money. As well as the galaxy line. Those are important. I'm hotly awaiting the one but I don't remember an HTC device that wasn't overshadowed by Samsung.

I actually went there to buy an sgs3 because I've been eligible for an upgrade since November. The guys said that if i came there earlier in the morning wanting to buy the sgs3, they would have told me to buy it because before the rep from Samsung showed up, they didn't know exactly when they were gonna get it. So I'm lucky i went when i did, because if i bought the s3 just to find out i could get the s4 on the 23rd, i would have been kicking myself in the ass.

Samsungs PR released today states it will be on Verizon by the end of April. Looks like they are keeping their reps out of the loop!
The Galaxy S 4 is optimized for powerful performance on the nation’s fastest networks and will be available on AT&T, Sprint, T-Mobile and Verizon Wireless as well as U.S. Cellular, Cricket and C Spire starting during April. Additionally, consumers can find the Galaxy S 4 at Best Buy and Best Buy Mobile, Costco, Radio Shack, Sam’s Club, Staples, Target and Wal-Mart. Exact pricing and retail availability will be announced by each of the carriers and retailers in the coming weeks.

It's a poorly worded press release. My guess is that the release meant that it will be available on those 7 carriers, some of which will start in April.

Should be the same as buying for full price. They just allow you to put the rest of the cost into your monthly payments. Would be extremely low of them to force you off unlimited since you're not extending your contract that way. I don't even know if they're allowed to do that. But yes I highly recommend calling a Verizon Wireless rep and confirming on this before doing that. Verizon is so sensitive about unlimited data plans now that even the smallest change could give them a reason to force you off. If you do get confirmation be sure to let us know.
I tweeted them asking them the same question in 6 different ways so if I don't hear anything soon its cause there avoiding the question..

I have been told in the past that technically there is a rule against selling phones off-contract on release day but the manager can override. Once they have enough inventory to not be concerned about selling out to new contracts or upgrades they are permitted to sell off-contract.
I preordered off contract on 4/5 and received it today...

Word of caution for off-contract purchase. If you have premier AT&T service that discounts your plan, every phone you add locks the new line in for 2 years regardless of whether you own the phone or not. It's better to buy on contract because you get the phone discount and same 2 year lock if you are on a discounted plan.
That isn't correct if you are using on an existing line...have done it at least once a year for 6 years, while receiving 18% off through my employer...

I meant if you add a new line. To your point, when you buy on contract, you are actually committing to 2 years of service, not the device. So yes, if you get a new phone and pop in an old SIM, there's not contract extension.
As a general rule, ask the AT&T sales rep if there are any stipulations or contract changes when you add a new line.
I did. Today. My rep said when the devices are in short supply they limit them to new activations only.

No issues here. I've honestly never had an AT&T store decline to sell me a device at full retail. Within the last year on launch day I have bought the HOX, S3, Note 2, Lumia 920, BB Z10, and now the One full retail from my local ATT corporate store. Haven't encountered even the slightest resistance to selling off contract. Perhaps it varies by region?
