AT&T added the HTC One to their displays for today's launch of the HTC First. Just fyi you should be able to go to any AT&T store starting today and get hands on time with the One a full week before launch!
Btw, huge Samsung addict, but the One is by far the sexiest phone I've ever held...definitely picking one up next week.

Thanks for the heads up. Gonna check my local store during lunch.
Will be trying if it's still available. Thank you
I checked a store out. There it is, finally, after all the amazing reviews and everything I have consumed on the web about it and all the excitement ... I played with it for a while. After everything I had read.l which set such high expectations... And its just a phone!!
I'm coming from a Note 2. This phone felt very small to me...!

I have a Note 2 as well, and a grip case and all that so my Note 2 definitely feels comfortable to hold so I'm not giving it up until the S4 comes out but I'm still gonna pick up a One...maybe because I got to take it out the box so unconsciously I felt possessive about it lol but I really liked the One a lot...

Any phone after using the Note will look and feel small
I get you. I am sure to own both. Often when I move to a new device it takes a few days to get comfortable... And then no looking back. But I do like the big screen on the note.
Anyway I am sure they have a winner on their hands

Is the label on the back of the phone removable?
Let us know if any black stock shows up before launch.

ya it looks like the same sticker that was on the ONE x last year
Went to an AT&T store to assess the situation. Full disclosure: I pre-ordered the 32GB unlocked edition with AT&T LTE support, not AT&T's carrier branded edition.
There was only a single One on display and I didn't see any advertising for it. There was a ton of HTC First advertising and 5 of those were on display, but it's already for sale. Maybe AT&T will step things up when the One is actually for sale.
It's a beautiful device, as expected. Pictures don't give you an idea of how thin it actually looks in person.
The display unit did have tiny gaps on the top and bottom edges between the polycarbonate and the front aluminum speaker grills. It wouldn't bother me, but people have been calling this an issue and apparently it's not fixed on the AT&T version.
There are quite a few AT&T apps pre-installed. They're organized into a single folder in the app drawer by default, which is nice. None of the ones I checked could be uninstalled, but they could be disabled.
There is an ugly NFC icon in the status bar placed there by AT&T. Apparently AT&T is throwing that on all of their Android phones with NFC these days.
AT&T cloud contact sync is built into the phone and contacts apps. It annoyed me multiple times while I was just tyring to see the apps.
An ugly notification shows up when an AT&T hotspot is nearby. You can probably disable that, but I didn't check.
AT&T's hideous browser bar is built into the default browser and turned on by default. It can be disabled, thankfully.
The messaging app includes support for group texting, though it's disabled by default, and it also has different themes you can choose from. Group messaging is nice to see considering it wasn't added to stock Android until 4.2 and the One doesn't have 4.2 yet.
Chrome v18 is included. This makes me happy because I like the way it performs better than the latest versions of Chrome, though I'll probably use the stock HTC browser anyways.
Can't wait to get mine. Come to papa!!! :laugh:

Great stuff, thanks! I checked for Group Messaging, too, and was thrilled to see it included. This means I won't have to put GO SMS on the phone, and one less "GO" app is always a good thing in my book...

For whatever it's worth I just got 2 of these back panels from China and they both did not fit. They were just a tiny bit to short. And I really tried to force these on too. I could get the top on and then when I really forced the bottom on the top pops out. You can't expect good quality control for something this cheap I guess..
Ah well. At least they weren't that expensive...

For what it's worth, I got one of these in blue, looked good, fit good but it was definitely degrading my reception. I had my phone side by side with a friends (ATT) note II and my phone stayed on HSDPA until the cover was removed. Too bad... looked great.
I've found almost all the parts to change my DNA to white.
I've sent emails to companies, checked , aBay, Amazon and every vendor I can find on Google and I've had no luck.
The piece I need to find is the rectangular part over the Verizon Logo, I'll edit from my phone.

That's the piece! However if it's attached to the bezel shouldn't the white screen/LCD already have it in place?
center part
Some places call it a Midframe, other places call it a Bezel , if you want your DNA to be completely white you will need this. The part above the speaker is attached to the midframe housing. Also, look at your phone, inbetween the Glass and the Back cover the Bezel shows thru. If you do not get this, in between the back cover and the glass will be black.
EDIT:
OMG two more, it helps to know what your searching for I suppose;

I'll give it a go. Whenever I take something apart I tend to take photos of the details to give it the best chance of going back together.
Looking for the best place to order the parts. I'll be ordering this weekend, hopefully, then 14 days from China more than likely.
Yeah hopefully... I have waited 2 months for an mhl cable from China once and have told myself that I will never again (at least from Amazon) order from China
Sent from my HTC6435LVW using xda app-developers app
I can't wait to see your results. I'm a bit afraid to pry open this phone as it's so well held together and without the glue / gaskets I fear I'll never quite get it back together the same. DNAs are pretty rare out there, and white DNA would be awesome.
Ya I don't think HTC can even repair this phone properly. I've had two replacements now and they are refurbs as Verizon is cheap. As I press around the sides and the back the phone crackles a bit, as if popping something into place. This never stops though. Kinda irritating, at least for me.

Money Is being a PITA this month and I wanted to try to get all the parts from one retailer, (Spoiler: Nope).
Also been trying to find a white screen and frame assembly, (Spoiler: Nope).
These sellers are also HORRIBLE at answering email. The only one I found who was helpful, before I knew, white was doable, only sells the black screen.
I'll get the tutorial up but it's just taking time. After taking some incredibly awesome photos with the DNA recently and with 4.3 coming I don't see a need to change devices.

Yeah I cant wait for 4.3 and sense 5 for the DNA. I'm sure we will see the dump for it on here since I have OTAs blocked. I've considered going to a different device a ton of times but never did it cause the DNA is still great. Best phone I've used.

besides Dev support the Note2 had nothing better than the DNA. My wife has one, I used it a week before sending it back for replacement. The screen isn't as sharp. The Exynos is slower, the camera isn't as good.
You're better off with the DNA.
You should post some pics of the end result. It would be very interesting to see what it will look like in the end.
Also, what is the total price of all the replacement parts? I might even be interested in making to transformation to my Dna as well.

F*** Me. I broke my new glass. Dang it. Well I need to get more white parts anyhow. Thinking about this more, I realized I haven't seen any white SIM trays or white usb covers. SIM tray needs to be x920e/DNA but I suppose the usb cover could be any butterfly variant. Have you seen these two parts around on white(or anything but black) ?

All the parts, except screen adhesive, can be bought from parts4repair.com and the total price of about $155 seems inline with others.
@thehoovie I doubt we'll see a white sim tray for the reason you mentioned.
Not finding a white flap is a bit of a mystery though. I haven't found one.

I didnt take apart the whole thing, but maybe I will in future. The whole thing was simple and ya much easier than the htc one. Once the back cover is off, the rest is simple also since its in sections and screws are visible.

DO you know if the camera is replaceable with the camera from HTC one? I counted the number of screws and i could get 9 on my the international model, but i do remember you said 13. for me there are 3 at the left side and four on the right and then two in the middle one of which has a void sticker. I am yet to see the other screws. i hate to take away the stickers
The camera should be replaceable since its the same camera as the htc one. Can you take a pic of the back of your phone and post it here so I can see it and let you know where the screws will be

For posterity: The size needed for the Max is Tri-Wing #00. That size can be a little hard to find, but this kit has it and it's got a good hard tip (unlike many cheap ones):
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0089NNRL4/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o03_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Note: You want Tri-Wing, not Tri-point. There is a small difference between the two.
There haven't been any leaks or info specific to the Verizon version yet, but do you think Verizon will be the only carrier on Earth again to force their awful logo on the upper front bezel again...misaligned and horrible looking? This would, even moreso than the G2, ruin a beautiful phone. I will be very upset as I am planning on buying it.
Not to mention, will they change the back pattern/look or rear buttons again? So far, there have been a few Amazon case leaks supposedly with all carrier versions fitting the same case...so hopefully the buttons will not change this time. But no guarantees on anything
I'm really hoping it's exactly the same as the others this time.

but there is very little bezel real estate for them to put a logo on, the most possible place is the bottom, but that will touch the LG logo.
They will just watermark it on the actual screen this time around.
I don't know where they can put a logo on in the front, there's no room. They certainly can't touch the LG logo at the bottom. Perhaps it will be like my S4 where it just says OEM name on the front and the "Verizon 4GLTE" branding on the back. I'm okay with that as long as it doesn't take up 1/2 the back.
I hadn't even noticed the VZW logo on the front of my G2 until the OP mentioned it.

If a vzw logo is the worst thing about the G3, I think I can handle it. I'm trying to work up a "give a ****" about it. Can't.

I'm kind of in agreement to this. Sure, I'd prefer it to not be there, but I'm looking at my screen - not the bezels. Although I did cringe a bit with the Verizon icon on the Galaxy Note home button.
I think it's rediculous to have branding on the front of the phone, directly in our faces as a constant. Not only is it an annoyance but it feels the phone falls under the flagship category and in with the other no names. Sammy or Apple flagships will never get caught with one in the front.
Did any of you notice the vzw variant doesn't carry the new signature 2 tone face?
It just looks like a g2 with a fancy back now. Pretty pissed as this was going to be my go to.

It just looks like a g2 with a fancy back now. Pretty pissed as this was going to be my go to.

The Galaxy Note 3 (or 2) had the Verizon branding on the front button. And instead of having it in a physical location, Verizon decided to add their logo to the Status Bar of the iPhone. I don't see the phone of any lesser value with an additional Logo on the front. You don't even look at that part of the device.

Not necessarily, the GS4, GS5, Note 3, MotoX, and all of Apple does Not have the branding on the front bezel. I understand when you use the phone, vzw wants to show their logo on the back so people can see it. I don't see any reason for them to constantly shine it in our faces on the front. It's BS that they would squeeze in into the tiniest bezel. It just screws up the design and gives the optical illusion that it's larger. G3 owners should receive a discount for advertising! I wouldn't want dealership stickers all over my car as much as my damn phone. Slick wraps will have to cover it in any case.

Exactly, forget the nasty cow branding. Them screwing with the design (again) is what really is pissing me off. The designer made a work of art and here comes verizon big **** swinging having to put on their beret and modifying it. I'm thinking on taking tmobiles offer and letting them buy me out.
