Black TMo One-S is here, picture inside.

Look what showed up at my work today.
It came directly from HTC for specific reps who won phones from HTC in April. I'd imagine they are releasing them very shortly since we received them as prizes today. Mine should be here in a few days and I'll check software versions to see if there are any differences.

No way!!!??! I shouldve waited...oh well lets see if the coating lasts like the international one
Sent from HTC one s

Well when i had talked to one of the higher ups at HTC in March, he said they planned on releasing the Black version at launch, but since the coating had the chipping issues they decided to delay it till they fixed it.
Hopefully this was the actual reason, and we don't have any chipping issues on these phones. I'll post some more pictures tomorrow or day after.

Ok cool thx, I wanna see if they fixed the problem

I can't see the picture:crying:
EDIT: It works now. Nice!

It does look sexy. Wow, though I do love my blue one.

this sucks if I woulda known T-Mobile was gettin this color I woulda waited..I might just go ahead and swap my blue housing for black now..I bought my phone used and its got a dent on the bottom right..is the chipping on the black housing really bad?

Hello Gents,
Just to clarify, is this available at retail? Is it still 16 Gigs of internal? Also, S3 or S4?
*I went online and only saw the "gradiant blue" model available. Not sure if it's worth me calling into customer care or not...
Thanks!

It's not retail yet

Cool. I'll check periodically.
My wife fell in love with the black model. She's still holding on to her GS2 and doesn't care for the GS3 or anything equal in size.

Third replacement from Verizon incoming

My phone had really bad screen burn in, asked for a replacement under warranty.
The replacement apparently had a motherboard defect, eventually not recognizing the battery and all sorts of other crazy behavior.
The second replacement has a dent in the glass (not crack), and under that dent are some black ghost images that look like crack lines. As if someone cracked their screen and Verizon never replaced the digitizer/Amoled panel, just the glass.
I'm worried this will get worse, and then Verizon will claim I did it and that it voided the warranty. So I'll send this one back too.
Let's see how many replacements I can go through before one works how I want it to. :good:

I got into the habit of taking my sealed refurbished phones with me to my bored Verizon corporate store and opening them with the manager. We both got some laughs at the utter crap they send out. I never wanted blamed for their mess.

You can of course ask to recive a new and not a refurbished one. I had an issue with the charge port not accepting the cords so I called they sent a refurbished with the same issue so I called again and asked for a new phone not a refurbished as I already had issues, and they sent me a brand new one. It never hurts to ask.

I agree, at this point I would pretty much demand a new phone after you've already received 2 bad refurbs.

I got some horrible replacements sent to me when I had a Galaxy Nexus...I think 5 altogether (I then demanded to be sent an s3, and they actually agreed). I even had a replacement s3 sent to me that lasted for all of two hours before the backlight died. I never got a new phone sent to even though I asked multiple times... But you never know until you ask.

I wish I would have done this! I received the third replacement today, and it's "STA" date on the back is 1/11/2014.
Unfortunately it has 4.3 already installed on it. So only possibly root for me.
I thought it would be new because of that date, but I did a screen test, and it still isn't a new phone, there are dark artifacts. Testing everything out right now to make sure its ok.

after the third swap theyll give you a diffrent phone if you ask

So do you think that any replacement phone that is sent out from now on will already have 4.3 stock on it? Yikes!

With my luck they'd give me a Galaxy S3 Mini, haha (I'm assuming you can't choose the phone?). This latest replacement, albeit pre-flashed 4.3, is fine so far. I'm happy with just root and safestrap for now. My Nexus 7 (2013) is my toy now. :good:

Gotcha. Hmm, interesting. I wonder if these artifacts in the screen justify a replacement. In daylight they're invisible, but in a dark room they're visible (reading in bed or so).

Makes you wonder if the S5 will have a different screen

Oh you're lucky. I got mine on launch day, early July 2012. By December 2013, it had the keyboard burned in (I could see the keys), the notification bar, and the Whatsapp header bar burned in. And that all was visible during any kind of screen.
Maybe it was the first run of devices that had it.

Went ahead and ordered a black one as well. Had a white Note 2 since its release (it went swimming) so the black will be a nice change of pace. I plan on ordering a blue battery door later on. They're 10 dollars on ebay for supposedly OEM doors.

Red HTC One m8

Has anyone got this phone? I am thinking about selling my gunmetal grey and getting the red so please provide pics..

I'll have one in my hands, tomorrow. Ordered one through Verizon's website, as it was $99, rather than the silly $199 with a $100 Best Buy gift card via HTC's email.

Nice! Pictures will be greatly appreciated.

I've got one now. I'll see if I can track down a camera.

Not the best pics. Sorry.

Looks good

Yea that case they got at the Verizon store is the truth. Very minimalistic and the side grips make the phone a lot more pleasant in the hand with the reduces slippage.

Just an FYI, that case looks exactly like the case I bought for my M8 on Amazon : http://amzn.com/B00JAR1WOC

I'm curious, does it come with the same 1.55.605.2 software version as our m8s and can use firewater? It says XLTE ready too so I'm assuming ours must be as well. But then again XLTE is the same LTE bands as normal only with more bandwidth right?

Sport straps have arrived on Ebay for relatively cheap.

Has anyone tried them out? I just purchased a brown one for under $10. I figure it's worth a try for that price point. Much easier to stomach than the outrageous $49 Samsung wants. I guess the biggest concern is whether it'll make my wrist breakout.

I just received a blue one from ebay. Little difficult to clip in, but seems secure once attached. Band is a bit more flimsy than samsung bands. Clasp is shiny instead of a matte. I'm also concerned about what it will do to my wrist. So, I guess we will see.
