So it looks like the Flyer will be released on 9th May. This was mentioned in Paul Obrien / tracyandmatt in their live blog from the HTC London event.
Damnit I just sold my Galaxy Tab so guess I'm tabless for a few weeks yet.
Edit: countdown timer is here
http://www.htcflyerstore.com/uk/p_htcflyer.aspx
Edit 2: SIM free stock may be delayed
This came from Clove Technology:
We had word from HTC that the date may slip due to certain UK retailers obtaining an exclusive resulting in SIM free stock being pushed back. At the moment we are waiting on a new confirmed release date for SIM free stock.

Is that a global release date? When do you think Best Buy will release it in the states?
May 9 is the UK release date. I think the Flyer is to be sold in the US by Sprint as the Evo View which I think was scheduled to be released in June and is supposed ro ship with Honeycomb
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA Premium App
ive seen may 3rd everywhere though (amazon ect...)
but im guessing that best buy will get it about the same time as UK as they said spring, but then again sprint may have a privilege agreement with htc for exclusivity so best buy might even be after june :/
Now this really annoys me. When I preordered the HTC Desire, stock was delayed because (after announcing a release date), HTC diverted stock to the carriers who don't take pre-orders and will sell to the first person in the door. They certainly don't ship overseas.
It seems the same thing will happen with the HTC Flyer. This was Clove Technologys response to my question about why the ETA on their site changed from "Mid May" to "TBC:

Im very tempted to just go get a Xoom (or something) now - not only because HTC are dicking us around, but mainly because I sold my Galaxy Tab a couple of weeks ago, "knowing" that the Flyer was not too far away. I'm also getting married in June so I'll be away for a while.
I got the same email and I am now seriously thinking to get the new Samsung tablet instead.
While there was huge demand for the Desire at the time, that does not seem to be the case for the Flyer this time and I am not particularly impressed by the way HTC is playing this one...
I'm also going to go abroad soon and I don't want to be in a situation where I have to manage shipping date and location to avoid the risk of the tablet being delivered while I am away...
Looks like I am just about to cancel my pre-order!!!
I think this news just makes my decision easier to wait for the larger tablets coming this summer, i dont need mine immediately, and a larger screen would suit me better, hopefully less hassle with those then, but i wont switch to another brand as i dont believe there's a better experience than sense

I just did. I slept on it and came to the conclusion that I can't afford to risk it slipping any further. I also don't like the way HTC have handled it. Even their own "Flyer store" site says May 9 and only went live a few days ago.
I am a huge HTC fan and I have regretfully just ordered the Galaxy Tab 10.1 which will be shipped in about a week.
I have a homeless SIM card with a 10Gb/month data plan which is desperate for a new home
Chances are the new Galaxy Tab will be on ebay within a couple of months andd replaced with (hopefully) something more like the Flyer.

Pre-order cancelled... Can't be bothered waiting for HTC to sort its business... Given the price with online retailer are identical to the one you'd get on the street in the UK, I can't see the point of this exclusivity deal. Bad move on your part, boys.

16GB WiFi only if I remember well. I would assume a 32GB 3G would fetch $699... But then they won't get that, ever...
Ye true, but still has micro SD as well, nd I don't mind the non 3g, as I live in Norway so a us data plan is useless to me and getting us stuff with no contract is near impossible

That doesn't even include the pen which is ANOTHER $50
What market is this aimed at? CEO multi billionaires?
It looks like a great device, and i could use the scribe function 50 times a day, but the price is laughable.
Where has it said it doesn't come with pen? And I've heard rumors that that is just best-buy pre-order not actual stopped pick up

I asked both bestbuy and pcworld and they both said it was available separately
That was two weeks ago when the price was all rumour and i was still thinking of buying one.
The secondhand market could be worth looking, i would think the price is going to drop like a stone.
Waiting for release at my country...
From the video I have seen the Best Buy order comes with the pen and the Sprint version does not.
I think it would be extremely bad form for HTC to sell the pen separately. This tablet is already behind the game in screen (not IPS)/2.4 (not 3.0)/processor performance (not dual core). They will surely kill it if they charge extra for the pen.
I have my pre order with bestbuy but I may cancel it if the pen is not in the box when I go to buy it.
What is the strategy in selling it without pen? And is this pre-order, pick-up or both?
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App
UK versions seem to include the Scribe pen and most large retailers are saying availability on 17 May.
Hey I live in Europa and Im already waiting for the Droid Dna since the first leaks but unfortunately it's not for Europe (they said).
HTC recently announced that the HTC Butterfly is going global and I'm super happy.
But, here's the thing:
HTC always announces new flagships at MWC so I dont want to buy a new phone in january when another/newer flagship gets released just 2 months afer.
What do you guys think? Will HTC reveal a new flagship at MWC or not. Should I buy the Butterfly or wait?
P.S: Sorry for my bad English.
You should wait till mwc 2013 DNA/butterfly/butterfly j are not international models but the butterfly can take gsm meaning it is international but only cause any gsm network will work. The official flagship is out in February with a better camera/design/processor/hopefully a bigger battery. The latest international flagship in the west regions Europe/America is the one x+. The butterfly is ONLY aimed at the Asian market.

It was announced that the Butterfly was for the Asian market only. HTC are said to be working on a device codenamed the "M7" for the European market.
Droid DNA = US.
J Butterfly = Japan
Butterfly = Asia
No European release as yet.
I decided to import a Droid DNA from the US and I don't regret it for a second (apart from UK Customs basically robbing me in tax charges).
I could have waited for HTC to release the European variant but let's be honest, no-one knows when or even if this will happen. If u want a Butterfly/DNA import one. You could be waiting a very long time otherwise if it gets released to the Euro market at all.

Oh ok I got you. So if I want this phone I'm better off getting it from Verizon. I don't like the big Verizon logo in front of it but oh well... thanks for the info!
Sent from my iPhone 5 using Tapatalk
I don't see a point of waiting. I got mine Droid DNA yesterday and i am trully happy with it. But in February when Butterfly will be released, there will be announces from Samsung. And a for now, we have the best smartphone in the market. Don't wait, waiting is killing
I could have either gotten the DNA or waited to Feb. as we have an upgrade for this month and in Feb./2013.
the choice was easy,
I bought the DNA.
I was scared of the 5' screen, coming from the largest I ever used daily was 4.3(Rezound), I sold my GNEX for the Rezound because I liked the size better and was HTC
but, I'm actually coming from the INC4 (4') to the DNA which is a full inch bigger.
I have to admit, I hated it the first hour or so. I felt it was way too big and I could never use this for my daily. within an hour, I realized how well this phone feels, I can even do most things with one hand.
You could wait -- but why when the hottest phone is out right now.
the screen on this phone is un-real. the quality built is the best HTC has ever put out for VZW, IMO, except maybe the HTC droid Eris, that phone was awesome.
anyway sorry for the rant. for me it was easy not to wait, but I suggest getting the DNA. also when the next hot phone drops and if you really want it, you could always sell the DNA and get new phone. might cost you some, but IMO if you wait, you're always waiting, unless you know a phone is coming that you want.
If I knew VZW would be getting an HTC phone like the DNA or like the one series (not like theinc4, that phone isn't built nearly as nice as the one series phone) I would have waited 4 maybe ever 6 months for it.
in words of John Garcia "The waiting is harrrd, -- it fNNNkNNN takesss soooooooooo longgg"
If this is to be believed, VZW is going to carry the One along with the rest of the U.S. carriers. That's fantastic news for HTC as they've accomplished (selling the same device on all four U.S. carriers) what Samsung did with the SGS3 which was one of the cornerstones of its success. And HTC really needs some success. It also explains the appearance and disappearance of a red version of the One off of HTC's website.
"It looks like HTC’s One really will be the one flagship for the Taiwanese phone maker. When HTC announced the phone last month, it said the One would be sold at AT&T, Sprint and T-Mobile. A mention of Verizon was noticeably absent. However, Verizon will also carry the high-end Android device according to a source familiar with the situation. Its launch at Verizon, though, will trail the other U.S. carriers by a month or two as it winds its way through the testing process. HTC and Verizon representatives did not immediately respond to requests for comment."http://allthingsd.com/20130313/exclusive-htc-one-headed-to-verizon-too/
So do you think it'll be offered alongside the DNA or are the two devices too similar?
Even though I went from a DNA to a Note 2 and now back to a DNA, I will be buying the One the very minute it is available for Verizon. How's that for impact?
or just do this http://blog.htc.com/2013/03/htc-one-developer-edition/
If it does come to verizon and if I can sell my DNA on ebay for $600 then yes I may get it. If not then no
I have a feeling the resale value of the DNA might plummet when the One hits. Not saying the DNA isn't an amazing phone, but if you have to pick one of the two at similar prices... The only thing I can think of that would really retain the DNA's resale value would be if yours is already unlocked / rooted / s-off. Considering the post-OTA (and all new) phones cannot achieve this yet, I think it'll be a surge to the price for phone that already are unlocked.

Well you aren't getting a One then. The DNA isn't selling near $600, even right now. On Swappa and eBay, almost all of them are sub $500, some even below $450.
Man I sure as hell hope not being able to unlcock/root by the time this comes out doesn't happen. I'm like a 5 yr old waiting on christmas over here. I keep checking the forums ever couple hours lol
The one is a sweet phone but Im content with my DNA.

With my ebay skills 80% will sell $600.
20% it wont if my skills fail.
Also who knows what the outright price for the one will be if it does come to VZW.
It has very little impact to me as I love my DNA.
Sure people complain of battery life but I get a full day out of mine usually, they complain about only having 16 GB of internal memory but I use Spotify for my music and Drive for my pictures and most places I frequent have wifi. My 8MP camera takes lovely pictures and I already have a quad core processor with 2 GB of RAM. Speaker mode on the DNA is fabulous.
Also, I love having a pocketable 5 inch 1080p device.
Fyi I got a DNA that was used for a week off Craigslist for 425 with two cases and wireless charger...so remember that eBay will take fees from the seller...I just sold an iPhone 5 on eBay for 560 and eBay took 50 bucks just for the damn sale..and then PayPal takes 2% or something too...so yeah.

That phone will work in the U.S.data wise on Verizon in an LTE area (at this point NJ is almost fully blanketed where I live)....who uses their phone to talk anyway? LOL
And once Verizon implements VOLTE, you could in theory use that phone on Verizon here. So if this was 2014 that phone would be perfect!

if you could sell it for $600 now, that would be pretty amazing....let alone a few months from now with another big HTC device about to launch (or having launched already)
you would need to probably package a ton of accessories with it to come near that

depends on if they carry multiple storage versions...iirc there are 16/32/64 variants (though i actually havent seen a 64gb variant for sale) for the htc one
so it *might* be something like 599/699/749 or some variation in there off contract
on contract would probabaly be 199/299 of 16/32 which is what id assume verizon would carry (just a guess)
and dna would probably drop to 149 or 99 on contract directly from verizon....probably 49 or free on 3rd party websites

Same here. I had to list it 3 times too before the buyer actually came up with the money.
On thing to remember if your going to sell ANY phone your not going to make a profit. It just makes getting a new phone a little better.
I will be getting the One I have two upgrades available in October so I should be able to get it in September. I hope thats when its released. The developer edition I think is BS pretty sure guys here on XDA will be able to crack the One without me paying extra.
I found a link that compares DNA to One camera check it out http://pocketnow.com/2013/03/13/htc-one-camera-vs-droid-dna-camera#!prettyPhoto
I'm actually happy with my DNA (understatement) and since Sense 5 will be sent to the DNA the only two things that will make me get the new Verizon HTC One (Probably being named the DNA+) would be better battery life and availability in white other than that I doubt that I will be swayed

Hey!
Not sure if anyone cares anymore but, the MotoX was added to the Motorola Trade up Program so if your still sporting the Photon 4G might make it more attractive and $100.00 less...
My update period is around x-mas so I am hoping the the rumors are true and that the phone will drop to $99 around that time, and I can get me a free phone, the MotoX for free would work for me over a $200+ G2 (still waiting for info on future Nexus 5 device.)
Just wanted to pass this on if anyone had not noticed yet...FYI the program is good till June 2014

Q: My contract isn't up yet. Can I still trade up?
A: You may trade up at any time but the terms and conditions of your wireless contract still apply including any early termination fees or penalties.

Seems like on or off contract is ok....
I'll have to think about it. My Photon is worth more than a $100.

You think a phone stuck on gingerbread with a permalock bootloader is worth more than 100 bucks? Why? If you've got an unlocked bootloader, then you have a phone that runs ICS or Jelly Bean without the proper drivers. Either way, why would anyone pay over $100 bucks for that?
Motorola screwed all of us. Big time. Why anyone would even consider upgrading to another Moto phone baffles me.
I had vowed never to buy another Motorola phone again. But everything about the Moto X makes me want to get one. Unlockable bootloader, size and speed. I held one and it feels similar to this phone. It is/was $99 on Amazon, plus you can trade your Photon in to get a $100 prepaid credit card from Moto for purchasing a new Motorola phone. So it would essentially be a free phone. I'm finding it hard to resist even though it's like choosing to stay with an abusive spouse.

I too said I would not buy another Motorola phone but US Cellular does not have anything else I like. I don't like the Samsung S4, they will not be getting the HTC One due to dropping the contract with HTC so the Moto X is the only phone left that is a high end Android phone. I know eventually the Moto X will have a bunch of ROMS and I can unlock it, flash it and treat it as my own. I'm not getting an iPhone...just hate them and how you can't personalize it to speak. Just my 2 cents.

Under your circumstances the Photon is probably worth more than 100 bucks to you, but I seriously doubt it'll bring much, if any more than that on the open market.
As to Google/Motorola, the Motorola you and I grew up with is dead. Gone. It's been replaced by Google's new company which is the point Punit Soni keeps making. Unfortunately for him, it's true, but not in the way he hopes. The "New" Motorola, owned by Google is the one entity that screwed us.
It makes no sense to me to get back into bed with them. The only vote you have is your wallet. That's it. The little guy, the individual account does not matter any more. If you give up the only vote you have, then you deserve what you get. There are plenty of other phones out there. You don't need Moto phones. (BTW - that was my general statement and not directed at the poster I replied to, FWIW).
In the other example, I guess I'd leave US Cellular, or buy myself a used phone and wait for something else new. I would seriously no longer have a phone before I'd buy another Moto phone. But that's me. Moto will never take my money again, because they'll never see another dime of it.
I just bought and received the One Max yesterday. The night before It came in the mail, I noticed the 2014 M8 is coming out next week. My big dilemma is should I keep the Max or send it back and get the M8 since I have the 14 day return policy? The screen size of the Max is great and all, but the new M8 is going to be a nice middle ground between the One and the Max. Next is the upgraded internals of the M8 will be updated, but do you think it will be that much of a difference? And last is price. I just paid $200 with a 2 year Verizon contract and would hate for the price to drop next week when the M8 comes out and the M8 end up at or around the same price I just paid for an"older" device. Ideas?

I just paid $200 with a 2 year Verizon contract and would hate for the price to drop next week when the M8 comes out and the M8 end up at or around the same price I just paid for an"older" device. Ideas?

Get dat M8!! Much better hardware and software!
I read in one of the release date articles that Verizon and HTC were aware of the mistake they made with the HTC One, and wouldn't make the same mistake. Also, leaks of the M8 with the Verizon logo on it makes people think it will release close to the 25th release date. It's a gamble but if I miss the 14 day return policy then I'm stuck with the max for 2 years. For all you Max owners, is the max going to be up to par for another 2 years in regards to hardware?
We are due to get kit kat anytime now... Verizon is bloating up the rom with garbage as we speak.
The HTC ONE.. ONE MAX.. AND ALL NEW ONE(M8) will receive updates for 2 years.
HTC One MAX
Verizon is getting it March 25th. Exclusive carrier for launch instore, also the aws band is active on the m8. The speeds were ridiculous

This is the same question that seems to be posted in every phone's forums... "Should I get the newer version of this phone"? ... Well of course you should! It's usually better... ?
Current Device : HTC One MAX / Retired HTC Devices: DNA, Rezound, Thunderbolt, Incredible, Eris
