HTC One on AT&T: $199 w/ contract & available April 19th! (Preorder begins April 4th)
http://www.att.com/gen/press-room?pid=23994&cdvn=news&newsarticleid=36239&mapcode=consumer|wireless
Beginning April 19, AT&T* plans to offer the highly-anticipated HTC One® smartphone to customers for $199.99 with a two-year commitment, for the 32 GB memory variant. AT&T is the only U.S. wireless carrier at launch to also offer a version with 64 GB of memory for $299.99 with a two-year commitment.
Customers eager to reserve their HTC One will be able to pre-order at www.att.com/htcone on April 4 starting at 1:00 p.m. CT. Only AT&T offers a free** HTC Media Link HD wireless HDMI adaptor*** (a $90 value), which lets you wirelessly share content from your phone to your HD television.
**A $90 value. Offers ends April 18, 2013. 2-year wireless agreement with voice & data plans or Mobile Share plan required on each. Other charges and restrictions apply

So if your pre-order then for $199 with 2-yr contract you get the HTC One with 32gb of storage and wireless HDMI Adapter, whereas with the Galaxy S4 you only get 16gb + No HDMI Adapter.
Looks like a real opportunity for the One to shine and win back customers / market share for HTC :victory:
Glad the earlier report of a $250 price was completely wrong.
Heres a demo of the HTC Media Link Wireless HDMI Adapter being offered if you pre-order before April 18th
Re: HTC One on AT&T = $249 (guess $249 is the new standard)
Should off been offered at $99 to be honest to compete with sgs4. Also there is no mention when 64gb version goes on pre-order I wonder if that version will not release until few months later.

What does it matter 200 or 250 when you are paying so much for 2 years? Anyway they will reduce the price after a month or online sites like Amazon, best buy will offer for less. Hopefully these crap contract process ends soon and just sell phones like laptops and other electronics.

Looked on the first 2 pages and didn't see anyone post anything about $249 price.
Looks like AT&T wants to make $249 w/ contract the new standard. Can't wait till next year when the greedy bastards try to push the standard up to $300 w/ contract
Would have been a nice opportunity for AT&T and HTC to offer the One at a lower price (say $199) than the Galaxy S4 to gain market share, but still a great phone.

Not on Sprint, it was shown @ $199. I stay away from the big greedy ones (AT&T and Verizon).
It's not the carrier's fault. The phones are legitimately getting more expensive. The MSRP for the S4 and HTC One are higher. They are both gonna be $249 on contract. The only one who can pull a $199 still is Apple. Nokia is stuck with exclusivity and probably eats much of the cost when they sell their Lumia 920 for $99 on AT&T. Honestly the new crop of phones are minor upgrades and unless you are a spec and benchmark whore, the extra cost doesn't net much compared to getting a much cheaper last gen phone like the One X or S3. 720p vs 1080p very minor for phones. 8MP vs 13MP (or cough 4MP) marginally better (or worse). Last year's dual/quad core phones vs this year's quad-core/octa-core phones, the difference is imperceptible like the S3 vs S4, or still poorly optimized like the Xperia Z that runs like a dual-core.

HTC said the unlocked developer edition with support for AT&T LTE will be priced at $650 in the United States, and developer editions tend to be more expensive than carrier editions. The iPhone 5 16GB with AT&T LTE is $650 from Apple. So why is the One $250 on contract and the iPhone 5 16GB $200 on contract? These new phones are not more expensive. AT&T just wants more money.
i think 199.99 would've been a perfect price point for the 32gb version. For 249.99, the general public will more than likely pick the s4 or the iphone at 199.99.

I guess you haven't heard but the S4 is starting at $250.
And I'm pretty sure that means 16 will be $250, 32 will be $300 and 64 will be $350.
Also iPhone starts at 200 with 16 being lowest memory capacity. So it goes 200, 300, 400.
The HTC One with 32 will be $250 and 64 will be $300.
Hopefully they'll go with memory capacity being only $50 apart instead of the current $100 apart. >.>
So HTC is actually the one with the best prices here. So with your logic actually that means the HTC One is more likely to be picked by the general public. (if only that we're the truth!)

I know the US (and Canadian!) market prices are still very much perceived based on subsidies, but really, we need to look at the cost of devices on an unsubsidized basis if we want to compare Oranges and Apples :=)
The US pricing for *unlocked* iPhone 5's (and this is some 6+ months after release), is:
16GB - $649
32GB - $749
64GB - $849
So you need to compare the HTC One Developer unlocked at $650 to the $849 unlocked iPhone 5. I presume the AT&T "no contract" price for the HTC One 64GB will be the same $649. Seems pretty good value to me!

Im fully aware that the s4 will be starting at 250, hence why I said the public will be more likely to pick that when it's the same price as the one regardless of the storage. The majority of people aren't going to pay attention to the storage but moreso the brand of the phone and the price. Also why would att price it at 250 when sprint is pricing it at 200? not good for htc.
AT&T to sell the HTC One on April 19 for $200, pre-orders start April 4
Earlier we reported that AT&T's version of the HTC One would be going on pre-sale sometime this week, and the GSM carrier has finally revealed its official plans: the flagship HTC device will be ready for pre-order online starting April 4th. Both the 32GB and 64GB models, which will be $200 and $300 respectively, will hit retail store shelves on April 19th. The carrier will also offer a free Media Link HD to sweeten the deal, though it appears that it's only a part of the pre-sale and won't be available to customers who wait until the 19th to grab it.

$699 on contract?! Wow, HTC really doesn't want anyone buying their tablets, do they?
Everyone wants to be Apple and get way more for their products then they are actually worth. I got a Dell Notebook from Sprint that is the same size as most Netbooks with a Core I3 processor and 3G/4G built in that I used before I got a flyer. After rebate I paid like $100 for this unit, how can they justify that much for just a tablet that cannot compare?
Pricing is AT&T Not HTC?
Seems to me like the exclusivity and premium issue is an AT&T thing, not so much HTC. $699 isn't bad for something like that unlocked, but on contract is just lunacy!
Well technically that price is AT&T's price, though off contract would probably mean that AT&T paid for a premium of the device, perhaps exclusive deals like software integration or exclusivity on the product so that you can't use it with other networks.
Wait a few months and maybe the unlocked versions will come out in Asia XD
Seriously, the price is way too high.. 600 dollars is the most I'd pay for a tablet. How many here actually bought it?
If they release it internationally, I would. Sans the contract, of course. The pricing is not too far off the 32GB iPad 2 3G, but the Jetstream has the pen AND SD slot. If this ever comes out WiFi only, I'm sure to get it.
The only real problem I see is the contract pricing from AT&T. Thats way too high for a 2-year contract.

I'm seriously contemplating it...
$699 for a 32 gig tab is more than any other Android tab out there but considering it is expandable up to as large an SD card as you want to put in it... 32g more at this point and it comes with the pen right now which is an $80 accessory.... not that bad. Also when you compare it to the same size iPad2 it is actually less money by $30 and $130 less than the 64g iPad2. I already pay $50 a month for an unlimited aircard so downgrading and then pimping off my Android phone for additional airtime when not on wifi will take care of that.

I agree with you.... I had a Dell Streak 7 and an iPad WiFi + 3G 64GB. I sold both of them and got this tablet and I haven't looked back. I love it, just needs to be rooted. I was paying $25 for the 2GB iPad plan, changed it to the $35 3GB plan - service discount = $28 and change. so for a few bucks more a month it was worth it.

It's only $50 more than the 32GB GT 10.1 LTE on VZW and AT&T's data plan is cheaper. The GT 3G I'm importing from the UK is actually more expensive. They all get pricy once you include a data connection.
Yep,despite all the hype that it was outrageously pricey, I didn't see a glaringly high difference than the iPad 2 in price, and I like the way it feels.
I would like to see it rooted and get a decent case for it, though....
Its a sweet tab. I bought it, love it. Price wasn't an issue as the jetstream has all the features I want. This is much better than the iPad
I wont pay that much for it, specially because I don't use the internal connection..
I like it but I'll wait for a wifi only version, or for att finally realize is to expensive and decrease the price..
It's funny to me so many sites, people, articles, etc...getting stuck on the price. Yes, it's expensive! It's almost the same price as the Xoom was, and the ipad 2 (depending on type and version of course).
I'm very impressed thus far with the quality of this tablet and what it offers for me. This is an extremely better buy (for the $ spent) then ipad, Xoom, Acer, etc in my opinion.

i wanted one but just picked up a Transformer a few minutes ago for $390 @ Best Buy. I couldn't justify the extra 300 when i could get another Transformer for almost the difference.
Jetstream
Bought, love it....not worried about the price.
Have been an IPAD user since it came out....love it but really cant do anything with it except surf the web and look at some photos.
The Jetstream is expensive but when I looked at the 64gb Ipad @ we were in the same ballpark and it lack many of the features I wanted.
PLUS, it's just like my phone. Not sure if anyone has really mentioned this advantage but it's very familiar to my rooted inspire running RC mix Kingdom 3d...
I love knowing how to use the thing out of the box...
Now, I just need to figure out how to get on my VPN at work!
You can get the Jetstream for $549 with a 2 year contract!
I ordered mine last week from AT&T. When you order the 3Gig LTE Data plan with a 2 year commitment you get the Jetstream for $549.00 before tax.

That is nice hut how you did it because I was seeing to order it online without contract and it says the prices mentioned before and it even obligate you to get a data plan?
Does the means that I could get it no contract for $699? If so, i am in.
I already bought an HTC Flyer earlier this year, which is $499 for a 16 GB, 7" tablet, plus $80 for the pen. I'm quite happy with it. If not for already owning the Flyer, I would seriously consider the Jetstream. But I'm not sure if I would get the data plan, or buy it at full retail price (and use it as a WiFi-only device).
Obviously, what you feel about the price depends a whole lot on your financial situation and personal budget. For me, spending a couple extra hundred bucks for something I really want is reasonable. I have a personal soft spot for HTC devices. For me, devices made by other manufacturers really tend to not compare to HTC's build quality. For that, I would happily pay extra. That's the philosophy I had when buying the Flyer. There are plenty of cheaper 7" tablets around. But its not necessarily a good "value" if you save some money on a tablet, but don't really like the device you bought. But of course, a lot of this depends on personal preferences, as well.
And yes, I don't even own this device, but I'm still poking around this subforum out of envy!
Hey guys I'm seriously considering purchasing it but I live in India but that can be taken care of as the US mail forwarding service I use also has a BuyForMe sub-service where they buy the product for me... but in this case since at&t requires a SSN for the compulsory cancel-anytime data plan with the no-contract offering of this tablet, I'm having a tough time getting my hands on this awesome-elegant HTC
tab. So my questions are-
1) Will the developer community at any point in time work on getting it SIM unlocked? Or is it better to wait for a version that will not be bound to AT&T?
2) If any of my dear fellow members will be so kind so as help me somehow (read: above) with getting my hands on this beauty? Can you use a friends' SSN to buy a thing for yourself?

Nice to be an american with AT&T LTE dataplan! In russia this thing will cost at least 2000$ (after a couple of weeks of sales) and will be available in 4-6 months...
If anyone can help me with a little explanation, on how to actually buy it without dataplan (since no commitment also includes some kind of plan) and registration, i would really appreciate.
Several things this device lacks at the moment - SIM unlock, voice calls capability and S-OFF...

If you live in California you actually save $100 since you don't have to pay $50 in sales tax on a subsidized phone. I'd wait though until it drops to free on contract in a couple of months...
Deal doesn't apply to phones on family plans it seems.
Note will not be free on contract anytime soon, if ever.

Unfortunately, the $250 contract price only applies to new customers or an individual account looking to upgrade.
Within 1 month, there should be a good chance that it drops to at least $200...which is what I'm waiting for it to drop to (at the least) before I upgrade. I wouldn't be surprised if a vendor sells it for that amount in like 2 or 3 weeks from now.

The Skyrocket is $100 with a new account on amazon right now. There was a promotion for a week (might have been cyber monday, I forget) where all on-contract phones on amazon were $.01--maybe this is what you're thinking of? I don't remember if the Skyrocket was around for this. Also, the Skyrocket launched at $300 officially but was available in LTE launch areas for $150 directly from AT&T, so the pricing was deflated from the get-go.
Still, I think the Note will drop slower than other devices. There is absolutely no competition for the Note--the only other phablet coming is the LG Vu which looks like a joke with an awkward, lower-res 4:3 screen. The Infuse is free and has been for a couple months (it's about nine months old if I'm remembering launch dates correctly), but it was clearly a holdover phone for the GS2 and Skyrocket, which totally eclipse it in all aspects. We still have no details about the GS3, there is no AT&T Nexus in sight, and there aren't even any other options for even a 720p or better screen on an AT&T phone.
Bottom line: The Note holds a uniquely strong position among AT&T's lineup that isn't going to be lost any time soon, and I think that will keep the price up, even from amazon.

It would be great if the next Nexus phone came out similarly priced to the GSM GNex. I think it would go a long way towards showing people that $650 is not the best price for phones and are only being propped up by ridiculous post-paid contract shenanigans.
If the "Nexus 4" is under $400 off contract, and is pentaband GSM, I'll probably buy it. With the T-Mobile $30 data plan, and the Straight Talk $45 "unlimited" plan, I do not see a purpose for buying a phone on contract. It's still cheaper to go pre-paid even if the phone costs $599, but I'll probably wait until it comes down considerably in price. I try to swap my phones once a year.
The article's highly speculative; he's drawing conclusions from out-of-context evidence like a quote about patent restrictions and the Nexus 7 strategy. The N7 strategy, however, came about due to necessity: consumers just weren't buying more expensive tablets, and they needed to kill the kindle fire "renegade".
Phones, on the other hand, are selling fine for high costs (I would guess, largely due to the BS subsidy/contract system) and google would risk scaring its oems by delivering a dirt cheap competitor.
The next Nexus may indeed be relatively cheap on the play store, but I'd guess the starting price would be at least $500. After all, the $400 price wasn't introduced until the GN was around 6 months old. Even now, the GN is just $50 below that.
The only way I could think of introducing a $400 phone would be to make it only a minor upgrade. This isn't ruled out in general, especially with the rumors of multiple Nexii.

That's the lowest total price we could find for an upgrade by $80. The HTC One features a 4.7" 1080p touchscreen LCD, Qualcomm Snapdragon 600 1.7GHz quad-core processor, 32GB internal memory, 2GB RAM, HTC UltraPixel rear-facing camera, 2.1-megapixel front-facing camera, 1080p video recording, 4G connectivity, 802.11n wireless, Bluetooth 4.0, Android 4.1 OS (Jelly Bean), and more.
For new customers with a 2-year contract, Sprint offers preorders of the phone for $99.99 with free shipping. That's a price low for new contracts by $20. It's scheduled to arrive on or around April 19.
The thing with wirefly, like radioshack, the ESN is tagged to be your account for the full 2 yrs. You can get another phone but the phone can't get another number without you incurring a charge from Wirefly, eliminating any chance of selling it on ebay/craigslist. Just FYI,it is a great price for anyone intending to keep the phone for the full contract
Anybody remembers what happened with the Evo LTE and wirefly last year? It was chaos in these forums. I won't be involved with that this year.

Like david said. Wirefly= absolute disaster. Also if you deactivate or even lose your device in the first 6mo, or downgrade your acct, you get charged rest of retail price.
Beware.

You sure about this? I saw the warnings about deactivating the device within 6mos and changing your plan but not about the ESN being tagged for 2yrs. I'm buying the One off contract since I'm half way through my 2yr contract so I figured I was in the clear.
sprint phones + wirefly=disaster... i get my phones on sprint, best buy or samsclub online
HTC EVO LTE
Those that want may continue the discussion in the HTC One Sprint forum in one of those threads on this.
