After a week of ups and downs with online ordering, the HTC One is now officially available in “select” T-Mobile stores. Let’s be clear about one thing however, when T-Mobile says “select” stores they aren’t kidding about it being a limited release through company-owned retail channels. The bottom line is that I’d highly encourage calling your local stores first and make sure they have inventory before trekking all over town. The One is selling for $99 down with 24 monthly payments of $20 per month in the 32GB variety.
There has been a few hiccups with the pre-order process with some shipments getting pushed back or backordered unexpectedly combined with some ill-timed troubles with mytmobile. While we all love the opportunity to pick up the device in-stores and not wait patiently for the delivery man, in this case online ordering is probably your best bet. Still, I wish anyone seeking the device in-stores the very best of luck!
