Can anyone confirm if Tmobile USA will or will not get the MAO (Micro Arc Oxidation) edition or not cause I have gotten to sources about it getting and not getting.
According to engadget.com "For better or for worse, HTC's black, plasma-heated micro arc oxidation (MOA) finish with red accents isn't making it to T-Mobile."
and according to androidauthority.com "There’s apparently more twist to the story. The HTC One S variant that T-Mobile will ship on April 25 is the blue-ish variant of the phone, with the black & red one to be made available in June. The casing on the former won’t have the same Thor-inspired micro-arc oxidation treatment as the latter, which is a bit of a bummer."
Cause if tmoible is not coming out with MAO edition then I'll upgrade my phone next week. But if they are then I'll wait til June to get it.
Thank you
MAO Black/red version is not going to debut in April with the gradient blue version.
So for now, no , in June maybe but its odd why one color would be released 2 months later than the first one.
I'm hesitating about should i get the grey or take the chance of a 50 50 MAO in June. I"m getting really sick and tire of my HTC Desire right now. So I want to be absolutely positive if MAO is coming out in June or not so I can commit and wait it out the best I can.
I'm going for the gradient blue version, you are right in that there is no guarantee a black/red one will even come out for T-Mobile.
Personally I like the color of the gray/blue version and after hearing all the chipping reports, it confirmed my choice to get the gradient blue at the release. I guess it would be best to wait for the 7PM HTC One S reveal gathering in NYC to end first to see if they give any indications of releasing a different color at a later date.
Waiting until July only to find out that T Mobile is still carrying the gradient blue one only hurts..
I personally like black and red color that's why I want to commit to the MAO edition over the gradient blue.

If they don't announce it tonight I'm not waiting...
If anybody is watching that thing can you announce the verdict if they are going to have MAO or not here. I would really much appreciate it. Thank You

If you think 6 months is long, I've been with my desire for 2 years. I think it's time for him to retire as my backup.

It's weird, I can't find coverage of this event anywhere...
Anyway, I'm guessing not otherwise someone would have mentioned it. Plus T-Mobile's official page doesn't mention anything about the black version.

I read a review which referred to a black version coming later...but nothing from T-mobile. Can't remember which site review though.
as fate has decided i will be getting the blue one cause my mom spill some water on her se x10 -.-
Yes T-Mobile USA will be releasing the black one aka micro arc oxidation in June, the reason was delayed was due to the chipping issues.

I also work for T-mo and have heard from MULTIPL HTC reps that we will be getting black/red in June. They said it was because they found a problem with finishing process for the black/red. Same reps told me they knew about the chipping problem before T-mo OR HTC was telling customers it was a known issue..

HTC NEVER said to customers that this was a known issue. At least not in the UK. All they are still saying is that the issues are not related to a batch but perhaps only a few handsets and we should replace our phones through the retailers to get it faster.
No HTC official has accepted OR verified that there is an upcoming 'better' batch.
So if some reps already knew they were problems and now also know that HTC supposedly is fixing it, I feel HTC should replace all the phones they have already sold. Otherwise this is a plain cover-up with the current owners being the fools of the situation

Anybody have any info on whether the other colors will be coming soon? I have the blue one I bought from best buy, but really wanted a white version....so i can return mine within the 30 day period and get the white one lol
if they haven't released colors for the previous models yet, i doubt they ever will for any of them.
Everyone is getting them in june....but white in plastic looks cheap...havent u seen the sprint galasy s2 ??

I've got a sneaking supicion that the textured ridges on the back of the tablet might trap dirt and make the white model look pretty ratty after a while.
At any rate, taht's what I told myself in order to justify buying the blue one instead of sitting around waiting for the wihte one to come out.

very true! I wonder why they like to flaunt different colors and then never release them to the US!? SMH
Red and blue would be the best bets. The white fades and scuffs easily. I imagine the ridges would show a lot of dust/dirt as well.
Bestbuy isn't great at carrying alternate colors unless its something exclusive to them. I doubt they will have them. The time table last i heard for them to come out was in late June.

Don't you think if people knew the exact dates, they'd post them?
There hasn't been any dates announced by Asus. Since the release of the blue TF300, June has been the expected time frame for the release of the red and white versions, but nothing is certain on that. As for the TF700, summer or early fall are the main rumors I've heard, but again, no exact dates.

They must be getting them in store sooner than online, see this-
"Backordered: Expected to ship within 7-30 days
Estimate Arrival Time
Store Pickup:
Order today, pick up on:
SANTA ROSA CA - – Pick up in 5 to 7 days"
Unless their store pick up is just messed up. Santa Rosa is the nearest BB to me, they're 70 miles south.

Thanks, I seen the red this morning myself, none available in any stores near me yet, just online for now.....I think ill be returning my blue for the red, the one I have now has light bleed on all 4 sides, and my keyboard dock looks like it might have been refurbished or something because the part that connects the tablet to the dock is a different color like a light blue than the tab and the rest of the dock itself....weird.....

I didnt see this color in the chinese stores (only gold and white silver), so maybe this one is the International version? Some stores in Switzerland has stock now.
https://www.toppreise.ch/prod_408204.html
I have a gold 64GB with the latest 5.1.1 got and extra update already, and I don't see any difference to be honest. I used the EU variant for the mate 7, and in the max I only had to install Google play from their own store, the rest works normally as on my mate 7
Its more about the bands. If its International than it supports more brands.
Anyone know where I could pick up the Titanium gray version? Ive ordered it several times off ebay, and Amazon, they all came from China, and each one was the Mystic Champagne color.
Same here, orderd SIlver got a crappy Champange and now i just orderd full Gold cause i dont think there is a Silver version sold somehwere cause there always the Champange Version Pictures
Jup same here on Ebay. The Champange is ugly white and silver. The gold one is better color but more for ladies I think im going to try it here: http://www.swissandroidshop.ch/de/S...-3GB-RAM--13MP-Kamera--4360mAh-Akku--196.html
But it cost much more than on chinese stores.

I'm looking forward on buying the Silver (Titanium Gray) one as hell too, unfortunately only a couple of swiss(!) e-shops sell them very very expensive... Wtf is going on, i don't really get it... Huawei screwed it up really bad with those color variations. I hate gold as i hate that ugly champaign silver (i dont see any silver on that anyway).

they did not screw it actually, in fact the phone sells well in china, the problem is that the market in Europe for extra large screen phones is close to 0% compared to all other phones, and that's the sad sad true. Maybe one day Europe will understand and embrace the big screen phones, and maybe ... just maybe one day we will have a decent market so that China extends its selling points to Europe as well for those amazing phones ... i got mine from china anyways xD (bug gold, anyways i wanted to try gold once in my life)
Eh, colors have nothing to do with the market share really, also ebay does the job for me pretty well. An all black handset would be the ideal one for my taste but the grey one would be ok too, unfortunately the gold or the champaign are a deal breaker for me. What i was wondering also is if the device supports mhl/tv out, doesn't it?
A black color would be great, just like the P8, but i think that's not going to happen It also suck that they promise to release the P8 Max to many europe countries and now they cancel it and only release it in China en Thailand.
About the Titanium Gray color. Not many swiss shops ships to Europe. There is one but very expensive. So i think i'll wait with buying. I found out what the EAN/barcode colors are:
6901443071128 = Gold
6901443073450 = Champaign White
6901443083497 = Titanium Gray

I could trade small or large
I have new never used small white band for trade for large black band if anyone is interested. Mine fit the AT&T 3g version sport watch.
I intend to buy the blue version :good::victory:. And I know I am not alone... Since it is the best color, almost everyone will buy it.
The problem is, I dont want to buy the Phone on day one ..because I first want to wait for reviews\tests\comparisons , AND want to see on this forum if its bootloader will be unlockable, and also for other reasons.
But then I risk that the Blue version will be sold out.
This is my first OP device, so I am asking people with OP experience:
how long does it take for them to bring the sold out color back? Or is it possible that the color option will be gone forever???
I Live in Germany (if this is important)..
I think it largely depends on if the blue is a limited edition or anything like that. If its just one of the regular colors it should be back in stock eventually even if it sells out at first. If it's a special edition like the thunder purple then I wouldn't expect it to be back in stock any time soon.
That Blue is awesome and my first choice!

yes, that's exactly the problem
Is it true that the top model (12/256) is only in blue available? I would prefer a black version.
My understanding is that this weekend (USA) the blue and the Grey will be available. I'm torn between the Blue and the Almond (which isn't coming out until June).
I think the blue will sell out but I also think it will NOT be a special edition.
Anyone know if limited edition colors will be available later?
