The HTC One is beginning to become available in various markets around the world in the next few weeks, and the handset certainly looks to be putting the company back on the Android map, and now we can tell you that the HTC One Developer Edition pre-orders will be kicking off later today.
Last month we told you that the device will becoming available at some point but could only be available in limited quantities, and now it has been confirmed that pre-orders will begin at 10am EDT following a tweet by the company.The device with its unlocked bootloader and SIM will offer owners the some great customization choices, and will be available for a price of $649. This gets you 64GB of on board storage and considering there is no microSD card support many owners will be needing all of that memory.
It is expected to be delivered around the 19th of this month which is around the same time the device is expected to arrive on AT&T and Sprint, and is a credit to the company making the Developer Edition available at the same time as the carrier versions start arriving.The HTC One Developer Edition will run on the 2G/3G/4G/LTE bands of AT&T. HSPA+ support is available for 850/1900/2100 MHz which leaves out the 1700MHz used at T-Mobile for such signals. The carrier has changed some of its markets to 1900MHz so there could be some support in these regions.
The HTC One smartphone is about to release in some regions and a short while later for others and is a brilliantly impressive device. We’ve been pretty wowed by this phone and have already posted many articles about it but something we hadn’t paid much attention to so far are the color options. A look at a recent video though has convinced us that this is something you might want to consider if you’re about to order an HTC One, as it looks at the choice between black or white and why it matters.
Although the HTC One was announced coming in three color options, black, white or red, we’re not sure yet if the red option is going to be widely available although it certainly looks as though the white and black versions will be. Also we should point out that although we are referring to the white HTC One it’s really more of a silver aluminum finish than white but we’ll continue to refer to it for now as white as the video also does.
The design of the HTC One is extremely sleek and classy and should appeal to many consumers and with top-notch specs as well this phone should be a big hit. So why put so much thought into whether you should choose black or white. Quite simply your choice may depend on how fussy you are or how clumsy you are, according to the video that we have embedded for you below this story.
The Pocketnow YouTube video is just over 7-minutes long and gives viewers a really good close-up look at the HTC One in black or white. We’re shown all sides of the HTC One in both color options along with the front and rear of the device and this really is a good-looking phone in either color. It is noted however that the rear of the black HTC One gets covered in fingerprints very readily that are both hard to get off and also noticeable. On the silvery-white version though the fingerprints on the rear hardly show at all. A nice plus point is that the video points out that less fingerprints are gathered on the front glass of the HTC One than other smartphones so that’s good to hear.
