There was a report that the All New HTC One (M8) would be available in the UK right after HTC’s official unveiling this Tuesday. Of course everyone in the U.S. wanted to know where the love is, and we have an answer. A very “trusted source” has confirmed that Verizon Wireless, yup that’s right, Big Red, will offer the phone this Tuesday, March 25, at 1:00pm which is right after the unveiling. I guess that marketing poster we saw a couple of days was real.
For those of you on AT&T, Sprint, or T-Mobile, your day will come, but it won’t be for another two weeks. Earlier reports indicated the global launch for that exact timeframe, so it looks that rumor will hold.
Why Verizon? Maybe it’s because of the absolute disaster from last year when they didn’t release the original HTC One for several months after everyone else? This could be their way for making up for it.
As far as pricing, we heard the full retail price would be $600, so we assume Verizon will go along with that. They have been known to bump full retails up to $650, so we will just have to wait and see. I do expect the contract price to be $199.
Who plans on picking one up?
