Wow! Thats one hefty price tag!
Glad i got the 32Gb now instead of waiting for this and paying a ridiculous price!

Oh god that's too much 720£ for 64gb, glad I bought my the developer edition for 650$. It's like stealing the money, hope its not true.

Outrageous price and good luck to them trying to shift many units at that price.

But the dev ed is American right? Will it pick up 4G in the UK? The US use different frequencies. Is it a hardware limitation or can updating the radio fix it to work in the UK?

I'm not sure of the 4g frequencies, afaik if they are different we can't update with any radio as it was related to hardware.

The UK version has different LTE bands to the USA. So the 64GB Dev edition will not work on 4G(LTE) in the UK.

I don't think we'll have to visit service center in future cos..I know how you handle your device and I know my way
Thanks,

Yeah, never got any problems with my one x, that's the reason I bought a device from us.

The USA Warranty is 12 months
The UK Warranty is 24 months
As for LTE and HSPA+, can anyone confirm if the hardware in the phone is different?

Hi, I got it from USA with the help of my friend who lives there.
Thanks

A bit more information on purchasing from the USA and supported networks in the UK....
A friend of mine is the chief technical officer of a VERY large mobile operator
I asked him about the HTC One and supported networks.....he went into an insane amount of detail, but here is the summary
Looking at this USA website
http://www0-shopamerica.htc.com/cell-phones/productdetail.htm?prId=41599
It says this
HSPA/WCDMA: 850/1900/2100 MHz
GSM/GPRS/EDGE: 850/900/1800/1900 MHz
LTE: 700/850/AWS/1900 MHz (US)
HSPA/WCDMA is basically 3G and will work in UK and Europe with those Mhz
GSM/GPRS/EDGE is just old 2G and will work
LTE - this is where we suffer, as Most of Europe including the UK uses 1800 LTE
So basically, if you buy a phone from the USA, you'll get 3G working no problem, but LTE wont work at all because the UK use 1800 and USA HTC ONE doesn't support it.
If you look at the one here
http://www.mobicity.co.uk/htc-one-64gb.html
You'll see it supports LTE 1800, so that will work in the UK with these new super fast speeds
For me, 3G is fine, so i'm going to go for the USA edition and get a friend to bring me one (when black is available)
But for others the 4G/LTE speeds are a deal breaker
He also said the phone should support HSPA+ as its such a new high end device.
But he said he would have to double check it first (but was pretty confident)

HTC One 4G LTE 64GB ... how much ??
I face the very same problem
I want the developer edition too - I'm just waiting for someone to courier it back from the US for me
Its not worth getting the HTC One 64GB from MobiCity at that price - its actually gone down to £670 now as they must not be moving any of the units
if they knock off another £50-£100 I'd consider it.
The problem in the UK is they just turn a dollar sign $ into a £ sign
HTC One 4G LTE 64GB = £671.99
HTC One Dev Edition 64GB = $649.99
and LTE is only available one network here so it wont be beneficial to me till the end of the year

I'm a sucker for the silver
I think the black is cool though but knowing me ...and the fact that I wont use a case. It would hurt my feeling to scratch the black colored aluminium and see the metal coming through
I actually dont think they do a 64gb black dev edition
although I just realised that MobileCity
are pricing the two colours differently
so they actually havent dropped the price at all

I brought it in ringgit malaysia RM2559.00.
I dont know what the currency in uk.

Nexus S pricing

for the sim free version in the US its gonna be $529 and for the same sim free version in the UK its gonna be £549
Using google currency converter i found the US version to be £220 cheaper ($330)
Would it be possible for me to buy a US version and get it shipped to UK to use here since they essentially are both the same?
thanks in advance for the replies guys

I think you might find that the US version is aimed at T-Mobile which means that the 3g frequency would be wrong for the UK, edge would work ok. If they come out with an ATT version, then that one would probably work ok on 3g in the UK.

actually its the other way around. T-mo version works fine in Europe, but not att. att uses 850mhz band, while T-mo and europe uses 900mhz.
so yes, it will work fine in UK

I think that would only matter stateside. Both the att and tmo versions will support Europe's 2100 umts networks.

The UK pricing is insulting really, I don't know who they expect to pay the full unlocked price. I think I may have too find a way to import it from the US. If anyone has a suggestion..

Yes. ATT and TMO use sims in their phones. I don't know if the nexus s is a micro sim like the iphone4 is though.
Yes, it's Sprint or Verizon (or both) than can't take a SIM. AT&T/T-Mobile use SIMs.

You can't compare an iPhone tariff to an Android one, Apple take a huge cut and are ridiculously priced for handset and tariff. Try comparing the same phones in the UK and US and you'll see a big difference.
As far as I know, all Google Nexus phones are unlocked by default.
Im suprised that Nexus S (£550 = about 650 EUR) costs more than iPhone 4 in EU (£500). Also it costs much more than SGS (420 EUR here) or even Desire HD (540 EUR).

[Q] Where to get a white galaxy note

Samsung have stated they will be releasing the white note along with the blue one at the same time, which is launch. I can't find any online stores that are willing to sell the white one, can someone help me track it down?

Clove, in their blog, stated that the only model available on launch day is the 16 gig blue/black model. So those of you wanting 32 GB and/or white will have to wait.
T-mobile 3G requires both 1700 and 2100, so that's a bust. It does work on T-moble edge however.

Canadian Note Up for Order

Telus will let you buy it online outright for a whopping $779.
Bell has it at $729 but requiresa $30 mtm contract and $35 setup fee.
Does not seem to be available on Rogers yet.
I'm glad I ordered from Expansys. Almost $100 cheaper and unlocked. I hate these bas****s and am really want to get to the point where I am not locked into them by virtue of the hardware. Rogers is terrible - I have a family plan (four phones on it) so any time we do an HUP, the contract period on ALL the phones gets reset. I have stopped buying locked in phones and am a year away from making them work to keep my business. I regret having left Telus when the iPhone was first released by Rogers in Canada. They had gone out of their way to keep me as a customer - to the point where I had some amazing free customer loyalty freebies. Currently I have nada from Rogers in that regard.

I don't get it, why do you have to pay extra for this now? Should be as standard, I ain't gonna support this scam, Glad I don't live in the US.
Since they released an unlocked version the US variants won't probably be unlockable through htcdev.
LOL! I'll bet 90% of the people who would get that aren't developers at all.
And it's US-only...

Just on the basis of it being an unlocked/ unbranded version with LTE AND 64GB of memory, I'm all over it! I'm really glad I didn't order an unlocked one from overseas now!

Since the rest of the world has always had the ability to purchase unlocked phones for any carrier and US wireless companies tend to want their phones locked down tight to their networks, it might not be a big market concern for them outside of the US market. If enough people wrote/ called/ messaged HTC from other regions they might be willing to make a version for other areas with LTE, but it sounds like that isn't their immediate plan.

I am way more likely to get One given this. $650 for 64GB is a great deal. IPhone 5 64 is $850 US. I bet this will be a Nexus 4 -- sell out in 30 minutes -- situation.
Then again, I am on ATT, soon to go to Straight Talk.
This version will be sold with sim and bootloader factory unlocked? If so it works in all countries...
So this would work fine on Sprint? I don't understand this AWS business.

US/Canada members that already has the one...

Hi all,
I was just wondering were you guys able to get LTE signals from the phone you got from P4U? (or from anywhere for that matter)
thanks all =)
Check this out below. Looks like 2 bars of LTE. Bell and rogers have the 2600 frequency which is supported on the Euro version. But I'm told signal Strength in buildings is week.
http://mobilesyrup.com/2013/03/12/htc-one-in-the-house-initial-impressions-speed-test/
Any ETA on when Rogers/Telus/Bell will get the phone and if Koodo/Virgin/Fido will carry it?
Im on ATT. Where can I order one that works even if its only HSPA+ ?

Or just buy it at AT&T since it will probably be cheaper. yes you may have to wait a few more weeks but the Developer addition offers pretty much nothing for you. Chances are the One will be $500-550 contract free at AT&T Stores.
I asked them and they won't ship to the US. Amazon prices are $950, and everywhere else is pre-order. I tried Expansys, but once they saw I was US, they moved my order to Expansys US. I canceled at that point. Amazon UK won't get them until the 12th. How the hell can I buy this phone?
