does this mean it will be RELEASED that day, or the release date will be announced that day?
Since they are not announcing it till the evening I would think the earliest it would be on sale would be the next day. They may just say the dates it will be available with each carrier.
I highly doubt (unfortunately) that it will be released the day of or after. Think the GS3, the announcement was quite a ways, if memory serves, more than a month prior to the release on my carrier, Verizon. I think we may be waiting quite a while after the announcement. Here's hoping I am wrong.
October 24th? I was hoping it would be released by that time :/
my upgrade is up on monday. so do i cave in and get a GS3 (my current phone is 3 years old and barely usable), or wait it out for the note 2?
I know they want to make this a huge deal, but I'm thinking just giving us the dates would be way more hype than a party could create.

+1 well until they said midnovember. We basically already know when its coming out.

If I remember correctly TMO got the GS3 about a week before everybody else got it, so it could mean a possible Halloween release for the Note 2 on TMO based on a Nov 11th date. Would be nice since they released, then canceled the original note all the sudden. Seems like that would be a nice way for TMO to make-up for the mistake of a release of the Note1. Would make for a nice treat, but of course this is just speculation.
dang just release the thing already

Apple just doesn't tell you anything until its time to release, haha.
It works for them though because nothing else uses iOS so you won't buy another device because there were no details about the next phone. I'm already eligible for my upgrade. Had Note 2 details not have leaked I'd have the GS3 by now. Besides if Samsung launched within two weeks of an announcement I'm sure apple would sue for stealing the idea.
Hopefully they'll give some dates when they launch it on the 24th. Should be sooner, but at least now we have a date.
Better if the dates leak earlier. Also if it is our phone and not a new tablet announcement.
US Cellular states that they will have it ship out at the end of Oct, for pre-orders.

Wow a full month later than most places in the world...america is the new 3rd world i guess?
With all this excitement over in the U.K. and Europe about the HTC release, we Americans are patiently awaiting some kind of news of a release date here. To my knowledge, there has been no update from AT&T, T-Mobile or Sprint since the initial HTC unveiling last month.
With whom and where in the USA did you make your pre-order, find a fully working demo, find an announcement for a release date, or receive your first HTC One?
No release date for US version yet
There is no information for the US version but I am also waiting big time.
I had a preorder from Hantec.uk but now the release date has been pushed back to at least March 25 so I have until then to see if the US version will come out soon after. If it is close I will just cancel my order and get from the US so I can also get the ATT warranty on the phone.
they said we are first priority, but i dont believe that, i feel like they are going to wait until the gs4 is released so they can release it at the same time, they did the same **** with the vivid when the gs2 came out.
HTC would have been so better off if they could have sold it's flagship phone before the Galaxy S4 takes over the Ad's. Too bad for HTC
Check out phonedog.com. They just had an article saying preorders for AT&T start today and the release date is the 21st.

I've never heard of at&t taking any phones back for a trade in. Sure you get a lower price signing up for a 2yr contract but not a trade in.
Also while HTC did have a hand in brokering the deal, they are not the ones running the program. Clover is.
I think the program dates will either be extended or we'll see something early next week for a release the week of the 24th. Probably the former unfortunately. Either way I'm not holding my breath though.
It just sucks that HTC has said that the USA is their largest target market, and we'll be getting it at the same time as the other countries, if not later it seems.

I've never bought a newly released International flagship phone before, so I'll be interested in knowing what's the best place to go about purchasing a Z2? This phone actually has me excited and I'll probably won't wait for a carrier version to show up, I'm sure I'm going to buy a International version. Is $800 about the right price one is expected to pay as I already see a eBay seller preselling them at that price.

Those in the US wanting the Z2 will have to wait until July. It will be available for Sprint, Verizon, AT&T and T-Mobile. The international version D6503 supports all the US LTE bands and it will work on AT&T and T-Mobie with no issues. I will be importing mine since I don't want to wait for another 5 months.

My guess it will be on store.sony.com here in the states a month or two after the international release. They did this with the Z, Z1 and Z Ultra. Just may take a little more time.

USA is always late in the game, even Canada got the Z1 earlier than the states lol. So even if his source isnt reliable, I can judge from the launch of Z1.
TBH, you cant really blame Sony, it is mostly the carriers' fault. Like i said before, if you want a unlocked bootloader for custom roms and kernels, stay away from carriers' phones.

forgot to mention that cNet said Sony is already in the talks with US carriers, but due to the fact that Z1 was launched not long ago, Z2 will be pushed back.
Honestly, if you are going to get a Z2 through a carrier from the states, dont bother... either wait for Z3 which will be most likely be announced at IFA (September) or order Z2 through online stores like clove etc...

I agree.. If its going to be released in July, better off just waiting for the LG G3, will most likely have 805 processor and OIS
Unlocked mobiles also is selling pre orders.

Hmm, I don't know... None of the US carriers ever had the Z1. T-mobile launched the Z1S variant about a month ago, but that's it.
I don't think Z2 will be pushed back for that reason. Actually, I'm not even sure if it will be available on US carriers. Maybe T-Mobile, eventually.
In the US, I think our only options will be:
- Pre-order from the UK and pray there are no defects, etc.
- Wait for US importers like Negri to get them (and probably jack up the price a bit)
- Wait for the Sony Store or web site to offer them. This is probably our best bet, but no idea when they'll actually have them.
- Or lastly, wait for T-mobile to release the Z2S with a locked bootloader about 1 month before the release of the Z3
Not to mention if the Z2 ever comes out over here the carriers might alter the design like T-Mobile did to the Z1s.. Plastic frame instead of aluminum..

I'm betting the only way Verizon would put it on their network is if they had initial exclusivity. HTC, wanting to have a phone available on all carriers like Samsung does, was likely forced to comply.
You can blame HTC for accepting this condition, but they're just trying to compete. Verizon is the evil one here.

I sold my HTC 10 thinking I would get the U Ultra for its bigger screen, but I didn't because of rumors about the HTC Ocean "true 2017 flagship" now named U11.
And I did pre-ordered the HTC U11 early this afternoon on htc.com/fr : the HTC U11 Brilliant Black 64Gb will be mine early june, shipping starting on the 1st of june.
I'll update my post when I get the shipping confirmation and when I do receive it.
I invite European buyers of the HTC U11 to do just the same
Update:
Still no news on my side :'(
I had to cancel the pre-order I made on the 16th of May because HTC Club sent me an offer on the 19th I couldn't refuse: to pay 683.10€ instead of 759€. Three days lost, and of course I don't know how many pre-ordered meanwhile
Update 12th of June
Just received a DHL notification, delivery set to tomorrow
I've preordered from Carphone Warehouse (UK) for £599.99, that's £50 less than Clove or HTC are offering them for. I went for Sapphire Blue, although if Solar Red was available from launch then I'd have had that one instead (can't wait as the battery on my S7 Edge is so poor that I need to get rid of it ASAP)!
I just preordered from Sprint. There is a 150 $ off promotion right now.
Preordered Sapphire Blue today from HTC.com
Also wish they had the red lol if it comes out later I will get if phone is legit!
Bought it from a local shop here in Germany.
Unfortunately they hadn't the Red version for preorder...went with the black one,
Payed 750€ ._.
