HTC will be shipping this phone in the UK from July (sometime), and crucially they've said it'll come with an unlocked bootloader (after everyone went crazy on facebook against it)
And im on the pre-order list
Look at the link below, you will be interested

this is about the 6th or 7th thread I've seen since the announcement on Monday
Not concrete but the manager down Phones4U said (when i asked him) > The Evo 3D UK will drop here on the second week of July, most likely July 11th for Vodafone (exclusive).
He couldn't verify for sure as they still have not heard from hTC about an actual date or when any other carriers would pick it up.

So it looks like the Flyer will be released on 9th May. This was mentioned in Paul Obrien / tracyandmatt in their live blog from the HTC London event.
Damnit I just sold my Galaxy Tab so guess I'm tabless for a few weeks yet.
Edit: countdown timer is here
http://www.htcflyerstore.com/uk/p_htcflyer.aspx
Edit 2: SIM free stock may be delayed
This came from Clove Technology:
We had word from HTC that the date may slip due to certain UK retailers obtaining an exclusive resulting in SIM free stock being pushed back. At the moment we are waiting on a new confirmed release date for SIM free stock.

Is that a global release date? When do you think Best Buy will release it in the states?
May 9 is the UK release date. I think the Flyer is to be sold in the US by Sprint as the Evo View which I think was scheduled to be released in June and is supposed ro ship with Honeycomb
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA Premium App
ive seen may 3rd everywhere though (amazon ect...)
but im guessing that best buy will get it about the same time as UK as they said spring, but then again sprint may have a privilege agreement with htc for exclusivity so best buy might even be after june :/
Now this really annoys me. When I preordered the HTC Desire, stock was delayed because (after announcing a release date), HTC diverted stock to the carriers who don't take pre-orders and will sell to the first person in the door. They certainly don't ship overseas.
It seems the same thing will happen with the HTC Flyer. This was Clove Technologys response to my question about why the ETA on their site changed from "Mid May" to "TBC:

Im very tempted to just go get a Xoom (or something) now - not only because HTC are dicking us around, but mainly because I sold my Galaxy Tab a couple of weeks ago, "knowing" that the Flyer was not too far away. I'm also getting married in June so I'll be away for a while.
I got the same email and I am now seriously thinking to get the new Samsung tablet instead.
While there was huge demand for the Desire at the time, that does not seem to be the case for the Flyer this time and I am not particularly impressed by the way HTC is playing this one...
I'm also going to go abroad soon and I don't want to be in a situation where I have to manage shipping date and location to avoid the risk of the tablet being delivered while I am away...
Looks like I am just about to cancel my pre-order!!!
I think this news just makes my decision easier to wait for the larger tablets coming this summer, i dont need mine immediately, and a larger screen would suit me better, hopefully less hassle with those then, but i wont switch to another brand as i dont believe there's a better experience than sense

I just did. I slept on it and came to the conclusion that I can't afford to risk it slipping any further. I also don't like the way HTC have handled it. Even their own "Flyer store" site says May 9 and only went live a few days ago.
I am a huge HTC fan and I have regretfully just ordered the Galaxy Tab 10.1 which will be shipped in about a week.
I have a homeless SIM card with a 10Gb/month data plan which is desperate for a new home
Chances are the new Galaxy Tab will be on ebay within a couple of months andd replaced with (hopefully) something more like the Flyer.

Pre-order cancelled... Can't be bothered waiting for HTC to sort its business... Given the price with online retailer are identical to the one you'd get on the street in the UK, I can't see the point of this exclusivity deal. Bad move on your part, boys.

16GB WiFi only if I remember well. I would assume a 32GB 3G would fetch $699... But then they won't get that, ever...
Ye true, but still has micro SD as well, nd I don't mind the non 3g, as I live in Norway so a us data plan is useless to me and getting us stuff with no contract is near impossible

That doesn't even include the pen which is ANOTHER $50
What market is this aimed at? CEO multi billionaires?
It looks like a great device, and i could use the scribe function 50 times a day, but the price is laughable.
Where has it said it doesn't come with pen? And I've heard rumors that that is just best-buy pre-order not actual stopped pick up

I asked both bestbuy and pcworld and they both said it was available separately
That was two weeks ago when the price was all rumour and i was still thinking of buying one.
The secondhand market could be worth looking, i would think the price is going to drop like a stone.
Waiting for release at my country...
From the video I have seen the Best Buy order comes with the pen and the Sprint version does not.
I think it would be extremely bad form for HTC to sell the pen separately. This tablet is already behind the game in screen (not IPS)/2.4 (not 3.0)/processor performance (not dual core). They will surely kill it if they charge extra for the pen.
I have my pre order with bestbuy but I may cancel it if the pen is not in the box when I go to buy it.
What is the strategy in selling it without pen? And is this pre-order, pick-up or both?
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App
UK versions seem to include the Scribe pen and most large retailers are saying availability on 17 May.

It's out in some markets. I picked mine up through Rogers here in Canada yesterday (apparently it went on sale here on Friday).
I don't think any GSM carriers in the US have officially announced plans to pick up the EVO 3D GSM yet, but I wouldn't be surprised if AT&T does at some point.

Yes it did.
I should mention that mine was the first the store staff had seen out of the box, and it was one of the few stores here in Ottawa with stock (and they only had 5). So initial roll-out may be a bit slow.
yep i got mine on 4th of august in the mail
but mine is from where i live Holland
got 2 days before official launch XD
It's for sale in Denmark as well.
Got a mail from the HTC Club saying it was for sale soon. Clicked the link to one of the stores mentioned (Elgiganten) and lo and behold +100 in stock.
Called the girlfriend and 1 hour later we got some nice upgrades from the Desire.
Nice!
I so whant this device... But i don't have money. I'm asking for a friend
Good Morning All,
Anyone have any stores (Sprint, Best Buy, Radio Shack, etc) doing a waiting list for the EVO LTE? I know they will have a pre order 5/7, but didn't know if they were doing a list like they did for the 3D.
Thanks!
I checked my local store and they said they would probably start a waiting list in 2 weeks with a $50 gift card purchase.
The waiting list is the pre-order. That's why they call it the pre-order. You're on a list, waiting for the phone you ordered prior to it's release date.

Do you think its not worth it. I was planning on getting it myself but not sure if I can since I started my plan when the evo3d came out last year summer. That means I wont qualify for a upgrade until 2013. If devs like you wont develop for that phone then I wont be too heart broken if I dont get it.
May 1st for those that want to know for sure in all stores .
HTC one and s4 same day all stores .
Confirmed by two well trusted corp employees
Sent from my HTC One using xda app-developers app
jesus 5 days from now really?
HTC was smart. they know Samsung has billions to spend at marketing while they don't, its a sound idea to just release the HTC One on the same day the S4 is out. Free advertisment for HTC. People walk in a T-Mobile store because by now, Galaxy is a well known brand as much as iPhone, they see an HTC one "hey it looks like an iPhone!" and bam buy it.
very smart of HTC
Ya it's true I couldn't believe it myself ,but I been dealing with same store for years thus,why they were one of two stores in Michigan that had the phone available..on the 24th.
So itl be chaos and indecisive minds that day ..I'll be curious to see who sells more when it's actually and finally exclusive to all to walk in... and buy.
Doesnt matter to me I hunted mine down and am very pleased with it .
Im sure I can trade it for a s4 from some disgruntled s4 owner ...lol if I choose to down the road .. for now HTC one is best phone out in my opinion
Sent from my HTC One using xda app-developers app
What happened to the delay Samsung reported a few days ago because of the "unanticipated demand" that caused them to not have as many phones manufactured in time for the May 1st release date?

If it makes you feel any better, i am am a RSA for T-Mo in a Corp store. There is no info yet in our internal Community that we use to post stuff talking about the dates for the S4. What also makes we think the info you were given is wrong is that the HTC One is already out with T-Mo. I sale it in the store I work in. The phone is just not in all stores yet. You can get it online and in some of the Corp stores. Anything you find on www.tmonews.com is pretty dam close to be right if not right 100% of the time. David the editor of that website has high ups in t-Mo giving him info. Also why would T-Mo post on there Twitter page that it is out May 8 and the 15th. If your trusted corp reps think it is may 1st.
I guess we will find out won't we ,and then we can recap on this thread who was wrong and who was right !
And to clarify on your comment ,I would like to clarify on my comments ,as I did not say the HTC one wasn't out I said and mentioned that it would be officially out in ALL STORES ,Key words .
Evidently it's out of course I own it as well as many others who did a preorder or found a corp store that was aloud to pre-order for there specific stores .
I guatentee 100% s4 and HTC one will be in ALL stores same day...together key word "all stores" not the select stores for pre release date ,Im sorry you don't have the info I do,maybe you should .
This means out in ALL stores just like an I5 launch date where u can walk into any store that morning... Usually an hour early and officially pick up a s4 or HTC one .May 1st
Sent from my HTC One using xda app-developers app
Well... Samsung, T-Mobile, and Sprint are all essentially on record as saying it won't be that soon, but it wouldn't be incredibly unusual for them to surprise release it "early" on May 1st. I suppose, as you say, we'll see what happens when the time comes.
I ordered from best buy on the 25th at like 3pm est and mine still has not shipped. I just called and guy could not tell me anything except that it could be on back order ????
Mine lists Order in process of being fulfilled. Estimated arrival date: April 1 - April 9
Mine says the same. I'm slowly preparing myself for disappointment when it doesn't ship at all next week

When did you order yours ? Maybe they are just out until the 1st ? I called the guy couldnt tell me anything just asked if I received a back order email which I didnt so it might still ship soon or on the 1st. I think they are running out on at&t web site too so it might just take a couple days, yes it sucks but what can you do. Maybe we can hear good news from others who bought on best buy maybe theirs has shipped.
Any updates?

I ordered when it showed up as available for purchase (I was waiting). I called just now and they said it's showing as backordered, but that my ETA was 4/4 - 4/15.
If I can find it somewhere else, I'll cancel and re-order, but I'm not expecting anyone else to be faster. I wish I could get the Verizon one without their service and just unlock it (I'm extremely impatient..)
Edit: in the AT&T orders thread people are receiving theirs already or have it shipped. I went ahead and ordered from there as well. I will cancel whichever doesn't ship first.
The Verizon phones are already SIM unlocked outta the box. I believe allnof their phones are but only H+ compatible. No LTE

Not on my still shows the same I log in to my best buy account a few times a day hoping to see a ship confirmation but find nothing but disappointment. I thought about calling them again and complaining about it because I think the best buy web site still has the phone for purchase so why is that if they still have not shipped mine from 3-25-14 at 3pm est ???? Maybe they might discount my price or throw something in but they dont really seem to care when you call as they offer to cancel your order like I really want to do that and end up biting my tongue because I feel that they should not be selling the phones if they dont even have them...

The verizon ones have lte frequencies that I do believe only work for verizon, at least not for at&t, Tmobile or Sprint. I think they work internationally possibly though. The thing about verizon phones is though that verizon wont let htc dev unlock your bootloader, so for the verizon model you wont get root until someone figures out s-off for the htc m8 which I think it may not be long before someone does it sounds like the devs are close to cracking it, once they do you can root the verizon model also. Another reason to hate big red other then them being a holes about everything especially not competing with prices of other networks, hopefully it will be their downfall and they will get taken over by a company with business sense and not a company that wants to squeeze evey penny out of you that they can and think they deserve it...
I definitely recommend ordering from att. It shipped and made it to my city the next day (was marked to deliver on a week day and it was Saturday so I have to wait till Monday. ) so if you want to try it could be faster.
I ordered the Gunmetal Gray from Best Buy on Tuesday when I ordered it said sips in 3-5 days. I just called BB and they told me that it was back ordered, they said if it does not come back in stock by April 8th then they would automatically cancel my order. He did say that they are expecting it to come back in stock by April 8. It would be nice if I didn't have to call them to find out that it was back ordered.
