Where is Glacial Silver? - AT&T HTC One (M8)

I have been dying to get this phone, especially because I am waiting to switch to ATT from Sprint to get this phone. I want the Glacial Silver but none of the stores have gotten any stock or know anything about it and the website still only has the Gunmetal. Bestbuy has the silver for ATT as "coming soon" but I have no idea if I should trust best buys website. Anyone heard anything about the silver ATT branded one?

Im suprised no one has heard anything at all. It seems like the Gunmetal is so popular no one is concerned with the SIlver for the small minority of us who prefer it.

Yeah, the Gunmetal is that awesome

I love the gunmetal. I originally wanted the gold, but it looked really cheesy when I saw up close in best buy.

I am considering this but the upfront cost is a bit much to stomach as a broke grad student.

From what Im told....no retail stores will have stock except verizon until the 11th of this month.....so might as well just wait a few more days and see what comes to be...

sent an email to an AT&T executive, hopefully we'll hear back soon

Best buy has an AT&T Glacial Silver on the webpage but not available yet to order nor in store.

How did you get them to tell you this? I have been talked to a couple store managers and a telesales manager and they all have no idea and say they won't know it's coming in until a day or two before it launches which could be months away they seem to think. The 25th is a bit far away but it's better than not knowing at all when it's coming so I hope it's true.

I just told her I was planning to port my numbers from Verizon to AT&T and wanted to see if there way any way to get it sooner. She said no. 4/25 is when it will be released on all channels. Who knows if she really had that information but that is what she told me.

It's hard to say. I saw someone over on androidcentral forums posted ATT reps gave him exact same date, so unless that was you posting over there as well under a different name then 2 different people have been told by ATT it's coming on the 25th. I don't know why some reps have this info and others have literally no idea when it is coming, so your guess is as good as mine at this point.

I just got an email back from an AT&T executive manager in sales planning. They do not have details on the silver M8. This means there is no release date set.

I bought the unlocked glacial si;ver directly from HTC and received it but I started reading posts about how AT&T Visual Voice Mail doesn't work on the unlocked device so I decided to return it. I know I could use Google Voice for Voicemail but I tried it on my current phone and it seems flaky. Plus, I don't want to go back and forth between HTC and AT&T if I have problems with the unlocked device on ATT. I can see ATT blaming the fact that I have an unlocked phone causing any netowrk problems. I don't need that headache. I guess I'll wait for the Silver One on AT&T whenever that may be. I did stop by a corporate store today and the sales rep said there is currently no SIlver One in their system. Nothing we already didn't know.

Yea there has only been 1 HTC One M8 for ATT gone through and it doesn't specify the color, so since Grey and Gold are both out then that doesn't really give any information. If there isn't any info at all about release does that mean it is pretty far out? Like if it were coming out in the next week there would be some information available? Or is it possible it can just launch without any indication so theoretically it could be out by this Friday or next week sometime?

That totally crossed my mind when I saw it on both but I hoped it wasn't you since that means it is just slightly more evidence to a specific date. I would definitely take that reps comment with a grain of salt since no one else at ATT seems to have access to any dates, I can't imagine one rep has something that not everyone has access too.

Verizon Targets November 29 as Launch Day for Galaxy Note 2

Assuming nothing bad happens over the next few weeks, I’d say the 29th of November is the big day. Can you patiently wait a month?

I think everyone on this board is aware of the release date.
Best Buy isn't selling them, that is the demo unit.
AT&T's note was released on the 9th or 11th I forget, but the demo unit was in-store on the 3rd.
It could've been someone just putting out the unit way too early or for BF so people can see it. Hopefully it will be out before that, but so far all signs from VZW have been pointing to no.

Nobody has confirmed it.
Could've been the wrong ad put out early.
And I believe this happened to the AT&T note too at some places, but it was only for preorder. This seems like the right time for preorder anyways.
Sure looks like it, but dont say they are selling it when no one has confirmed it. Even droid central beat around the bush basically avoiding the words available at best buy now
I wonder if Verizon will delay the Note 2 even more, seeing as how the DROID DNA is coming out the 21st...

I honestly doubt they will delay the Note 2's launch for that reason. I believe this because they have more than likely already delayed the Note 2 for the DNA.
29th
I called a non-corporate store yesterday and they said they didn't have a release day. They called back today and said they just recieved a call from verizon that the official release day is the 29th.

Verizon may have the best speeds, but overall, a pain in the ass.
What he said. Maybe the best LTE network but in terms of high end phones locked/encrypted bootloaders, and delayed releases, bid red does not rate highly for those items.

VZW, never early, but always on-time. It seems like those original documents that surfaced about the N2 launch were correct.
That sucks, on the plus side only ten more days. I woud've liked to have it over thanksgiving break.

Yeah, considering the other carrier Note 2s shipped without the muliti-window feature, I'm guessing those carriers pushed for it to be released early - trying to be the first to get it.
Also, I used to have Alltel and it wasn't that they were late with phones, it was that they never got many good phones at all. Also, there were 2 people in an Alltel store at a time max, often 1. My area is so populated that the main road has 4 lanes each direction so yeah... it was a good 2 hours or easily more waiting since most people were asking about plans and then phones having not done any research first.
It would be nice to have it by Black Friday, but no such luck. A week until ths shipping starts.

I don't know? Since the KR version had this at the beginning and the Eu version didn't. I don't know why this is, but I don't think it is carrier specifc, but rather Samsung. So I wouldn't say it is carrier specific pushing for an early release date - as MW is available now and it isn't like we are getting JB 4.1.2, rather, this is the way it was supposed to go down on all carriers.
However, I do know VZW usually does extensive testing on their products before-hand. Still though, the biggest carrier in the USA shouldn't be getting phones last.
26th
Just an update guys. I called VZW Corporate and the lady I spoke to said my order should ship BY the 26th if that helps any. Who knows at this point

I think people are using the words "ship" interchangeably. For some, the mean get all the devices into Fedex's system and for others it means that the phones are on Fedex's trucks. I have been told by 7 different agents (over the phone) that the devices is supposed to exit the pre-order system on the 25th. Assuming it does so, then I predict the next day (26th) Verizon would be talking to Fedex and generating labels. Then (27th) I would expect the devices to be on the trucks and on the road to the different distribution centers.

I can confirm this as well. When I have talked to reps who seem competent, they say the average ship time is three days from the warehouses to your doorstep. 1 day to get everything on the trucks and 2 days for shipping - makes sense it takes an additional one day for making labels for these/boxing as well. so 4 days seems very reasonable.

Just preordered the black HTC One from at&t

I just called 611 and of course they said they didn't have any black units in stock and they do not know when they will. But he took a preorder for me. $199 for the 32gb. At first he wanted to charge me 299 but after some pushback he is getting a manger to override. (just say that others have told you they have ordered it for 199) I think/hope it'll be faster than Walmart or Costco. So if you want to hold out for black get your preorder in and let's keep our order status in this thread. As soon as I get an email I'll keep you posted with status and all that.

No in fact they messed up the order and I just got off the phone with them again and they replaced the order. They upgraded me to overnight shipping. We will see when it arrives. I would be very satisfied if it showed up before next Friday just hope we can still unlock the bootloader by then.

Well if what Engadget posted is true then we are still weeks away from a black one
http://www.engadget.com/2013/04/19/psa-htc-one-available-today-at-att-and-sprint/
"Those jonesing for different hues or radios will have to wait a little while longer, however. The T-Mobile edition won't officially land until the 24th, and a black 32GB model is still "weeks" away from landing at AT&T and Sprint. Provided you're not the exception to the rule, though, you're cleared to buy what's arguably the first US-bound flagship of the year."

I think she was mistaken because she said that my phone will be over nighted and probably show up before my case status will be on the website. I really hope she wasn't but I'm doubtful

Stealth Black Availability?

Has anyone seen any in stores/etc? I really want the black one, but am running out of time to buy the phone and still be eligable for the $100 trade in promotion which makes it much more worth while. Most stores I've called say not announced... but one store said a few stores have started getting them. I'd even consider the unlocked or dev version from htc direct, but hence no black available there either...
I'm starting to wonder if the black is worth the extra $100 over the silver... but I'm not sold on the silver yet.

All I know is they are over -150 orders in and they are just waiting for them to start showing up. If you cut it close get the silver and just trade it before the 14 days. I am hopeful that it will be either tomorrow or early next week.
I have not heard from a single person who has got it...
I've seen it in store as a demo and was offered one today but ended up buying the silver. I'm in Atlanta for your reference.

probably but I'm sure you probably can try to argue that it was suppose to be out the 19th and you had to get the rebate just to see what they said. I just talked to AT&T and it may be better news she said that the preorders and now at -144 so either they started shipping some or people canceled the orders.
I guess I'll call some Best Buys today then... I bet they'd even price match Walmart's $150. I'll also try calling a few corporate stores again today, though I'm sure they're tired of people calling.

Unless they actually checked the availability right in front of you there's reason to believe them. I've been misled several times already.
I don't follow market trends or tactics but if I had to make a guess. You will see the black show up on the S4 release date.
Additionally, I'm surprised BB matched Wal-Mart. The price match doesn't include wireless phones. At least that is what their policy states.

I guess I'll call some Best Buys today then... I bet they'd even price match Walmart's $150. I'll also try calling a few corporate stores again today, though I'm sure they're tired of people calling.

my BBY said they stopped that practice. And I was trying so hard to wait to see if my Radio Shack was getting it so i could do the $50 Play store card. but they have no info on it. So I called ATT chewed them out and got the silver one for $150 free overnight and no activation fee. Im currently siting by the door lol im so impatient couldn't wait any longer:laugh:

Did anyone order from best buy and get a shipping confirmation ????

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.

Tell me about it. I wish I could just cancel and get from at&t web site, but due to personal reasons I need to purchase from best buy. It does suck though big time.

I just ordered mine a few minutes ago, and it said estimated delivery April 7-19.
Should I be worried that this is a new batch that's gonna be locked?
Still waiting for mine :/
I just walked in to best buy and bought mine. Amber gold I'm happy as hell lol

Yes, the $100 HTC1008 Promo Code works for the Verizon HTC 10 on HTC's website.
My Pre-order is complete, and now the waiting begins...
Oh cool. I see that now. Too bad they don't offer the carbon gray... I'll just stick with my pre-ordered unlocked one and hope for the best!
Went in store and pre-order mine . Should by here to pick up by the 5th.

Wanted to add, Verizon's price is $650 and they are doing $22 for 24 months on their financed plan.
Went in and looked at the phone today. I'm totally impressed.

Actually is not bad at all, went to Verizon and I am very iimpresse!! Pre-ordered 2 of them. Can't wait until next week to play with it!
I am keeping my pre-order for the unlocked version.
Chatted with two representatives on the 13th who both said the unlocked version will work with Verizon, so I pre-ordered then and there. Talk about the unlocked version NOT working with Verizon had me concerned, and now that the pre-order for Verizon is up I thought I'd contact them through phone and check to see if I can switch my pre-order to the Verizon version.
Rep tells me I'd have to cancel my pre-order and place my pre-order for the Verizon version, I tell her my main concern was that the unlocked version wouldn't work with Verizon. She said no, it should definitely work with Verizon....
I am just going to wait and see. Worse comes to worst, I'll just return it and pick one up from the Verizon store at that point.

Completely agree with this. I looked at some of the main "issues" that reviewers complained about and they were SO overblown.
The screen looked fantastic from all angles. Didn't see any pink hue from the side. Camera focus was lightening quick. Maybe it isn't quite as fast as S7, but nothing you'd notice in real world use.
Only thing I was completely disappointed with was the speaker. Not only was it not loud, but it didn't sound impressive in the slightest. For a phone with separates, it did not sound as bassy as ONE speaker on my M8, and I'm fairly certain if I disabled one speaker on my M8 it would STILL be louder than the 10. Highly disappointed on that front. Hoping that I can tweak it with software and push at least a little bit more volume without distorting.
