Verizon HTC One is almost here, I saw many rumors a while about Verizon getting this phone….So Verizon is going to carry the One and carry the sequel to the DNA later this year?
Verizon has a great network, but they are always last to get new phones. I wish the battery was a bit bigger but it’s def not bad and I am fine with no micro sd card because 32GB-64GB is easily enough.

The Samsung Galaxy S4 Developer Edition coming to Verizon. So Samsung has both stock and touchwiz versions for developers? I understand the Verizon model (since the Google edition works for AT&T and T-Mobile) but AT&T too? Choice is great I guess but that makes me wonder why HTC One doesn’t have a stock option as well?

Having the unlocked version from Verizon mean we can load a stock version of android with no problem and it won’t void the warranty from Verizon or Samsung?

Looks pretty good in red, actually. I’d love them to announce colors and a 32GB model. I won’t bother with a 16GB version of this phone. I really wish more carriers would get these different colors. I love my Note 2 on Sprint but I’d love a bright red phone.
Starting on June 14th, in-stores and online, AT&T customers will be able to purchase the 16 GB Samsung Galaxy S 4 in Aurora Red. This new color is available exclusively from AT&T for $199.99 with a two-year agreement. Even more exciting – beginning May 24, customers will be able to pre-order the red Galaxy S 4 at www.att.com/galaxys4 or from any AT&T company-owned retail store.

HTC has sold five million units of their new flagship smartphone, the HTC One, since launch in March. Although those figures won’t match the sales numbers posted by rivals Apple and Samsung, the feat is still impressive given the Taiwanese device-maker’s recent woes. The HTC One has been facing production issues, causing limited availability in some parts of the world. HTC also recently lost several senior executives, including Chief Product Officer Kouji Kodera and Asia CEO Lennard Hoornik, following dismal first quarter results. An unnamed HTC executive told the Wall Street Journal, “Orders are pretty good so far and are still more than what we can supply. This is partly due to the shortage of components. When the issue is resolved next month, we will have a better idea if it’s doing really well or not.”
What Else You Need To Know:
- The HTC One features a 4-MP “ultrapixel” camera that gathers 300 percent more light, a Qualcomm quad-core Snapdragon 600 clocked at 1.7GHz, and a Sense 5.0 interface over the Android 4.1 operating system.
- The HTC One is slated to be released in 80 countries but the roll-out has been delayed due to supply issues with the ultrapixel camera components.
- Apple’s iPhone 5 reached the 5-million-units milestone after the first three days of release while Samsung’s Galaxy S4 reached those figures in less than two weeks.
