HTC One M7: Rumors on Release Date, Price and Carrier Availability
The exact release date for the HTC One M7 has not yet been confirmed but HTC claimed that the smart phone will definitely arrive this March 2013. Current speculations are pointing to the March 22 release date on a number of carriers available like AT&T, Sprint and T-Mobile.
However, mobile carriers AT&T, T-Mobile and Sprint remain tight-lipped about the availability of the HTC One M7 after confirming the inclusion of the smart phone in their 4G LTE networks. On the other hand, the UK retailer "Clove" claimed that their HTC One M7 release date has been delayed as well until March 29.
For the United States release, there is a possibility that the HTC One M7 arrival will be delayed until April 2013. The sole carrier that currently ships the HTC One M7 smart phone is "O2" in Germany with no certainty on how long the supply will last.
Regarding the HTC One M7 release date, HTC stated: "It will start fulfilling pre-orders by end March in certain markets and will roll out to more markets as we approach April."
Pricing on the HTC One M7 with the US carriers has not been announced but reports suggest that AT&T and Sprint may offer a $199.99 worth of on-contract with the HTC One M7 like they usually do with the other high-end smart phones.
T-Mobile is speculated to release the HTC One M7 on its unsubsidized plans as it shifts away from having contracts. A different pricing can be expected compared to the offer of other mobile carriers. The up front HTC One M7 price on T-Mobile could cost more than $500 but the customers can pay through installments.
HTC's latest smart phone, the HTC One M7, remarkably features a 4.7-inch 1080p display with a quad-core processor, a new Ultrapixel camera, a full metal design, the Android Jelly Bean update and the HTC Sense 5.0 user interface.
