In fairness to Big Red, they probably wanted to avoid a PR nightmare with HTC trying to bring the One out with them as well. There were supply issues from the start, and adding in the largest carrier in the U.S. could have spelled disaster for all involved. Whether we like it or not HTC has done well with the introduction of the One in the fashion they did it.

agreed @summit21 haha not going to lie, I immediately thought about what you said when I heard about the HTC One announcement earlier. Oh and the color is shopped, they said they were just trying to give a visual of what it might be.

P.S. This tweet (not from me) gets me wondering if Llabtoofer meant 1 of 2 things. 1) New colors? They are hinting at new colors arriving mid-summer ...Verizon says they'll get HTC ONE late summer, leaving room for them to acquire a RED One. 2) Sd card slot Are yall thinking anything else? "almost identical" means not the same.

Thinking the small difference is android 4.2.2, as on the GS4, not 4.1.2 as currently - or maybe even key lime pie 4.3. Not Micro SD slot. And I agree with Danishs, I think late June with a press release 4-7 days before the date sounds right. It won't be August/September, that's too long after release on the other carriers, makes no sense. Doesn't matter to me, though, I went with the GS4 after the JLo event, and I'm very happy with it. Phone is virtually the same size as the One, but with a noticeably bigger screen. Got a great case for it that makes it into a great looking phone, despite the lack of metal. Still, glad to hear this for those of you still waiting on the One. So, Nneptune, you coming back to VZW now?

aw man, I'm pretty sure you're right on the money. I overlooked that spec. Llabtoofer said Verizon HTC One will come out the box with 4.2.2. It's always nice to wishful think though.

I'm still curious as to what this phone is and it's release date --> https://twitter.com/LlabTooFeR/status/298432587603517440/photo/1

I know its the dlxplus or htc6445vwz but... all these sites keep claiming the butterfly 2 will have the same screen size 5.0 or higher yet the specs show that it will have the same screen size as the one.

One caveat to waiting for the One on Verizon could be a subpar mic, from the Nokia lawsuit re: the HDR mic. HTC is allowed to exhaust supplies of this mic before it has to switch to something else. Not sure what mic they would replace it with, or if it would be worse or better?

@summit21 Since you're evidently in Verizon's ear, how about letting them know that their delayed release caused us VW customers to miss out on the $100 HTC rebate. Maybe when they release the phone, you can convince them to include their own rebate as a make good. Just sayin. 😉

I think it's going to be late August.

Evey article says late summer.

Unfortunately June is not late summer.

What sucks is that if it's August or later, the T-6 will be close at hand. Fortunately it sounds way too big and I won't be tempted to wait.
