I'm getting one, just not sure if I am going with Sprint or TMobile. Thoughts?

I am, getting the gold 64gb since 128gb is no where in sight

I'm getting the black 64gb on Sprint.

I'm thinking about picking one up, haven't completely made my mind up yet.

I ordered mine from Amazon. I have no upgrade eligibility so I figured use the Amazon credit card lol. I got the 32 gig. That has always been enough space for me.

Getting a 32 gb for my girlfriend on Sprint, but waiting for the availability of the Edge in the the green color.

64 black edge preordered at best buy

price is going to turn away a lot of people.. i think samsung is demanding too much money for the Edge compared to the S6 ($100 or more in some cases)
there is no way to justify the increase in price just for a slightly different curve phone..
also, S6 has close to 20 million orders from Samsung, only 5 million or so for Edge version so that gives you an idea that while the Edge won't be a total failure, the S6 will have bigger support just because price is more realistic.
I am going to wait until price drops in a few months. because of samsung Greed (and forcing me to spend more money on a 64GB version) when i would have bought a 32Gb on release day if it had SD card) now i wait for them to be cheaper..

if anything find some friends with tmo and sprint in your area and ask them to do a speed test
in my area i get amazing results occasionally going over 50mbps. i also like contracts lol. i dont want to spend full price for the phone like tmo makes you.

it was really hard to justify the edge but i remembered how i felt back when i had the s1 and s2. it felt good not having the same phone as everyone else. no a days everyone has an s3, 4 or 5 and i can see the s6 being way too popular and common for me

yeah they shouldnt have set the jumps to $100
had they set it to $50 they would have been praised so much
i know i would have had no doubt about getting the 128gb edge if they did and i bet so many more people would have felt the same way
but im going to settle with the 64gb edge

I preordered a Gold 64GB Edge. Hoping to receive it at least a couple days early.

I'm getting the black 64gb on Sprint, moving over from T-Mobile

64 gb for Sprint. Pre ordered from best buy.

Please post any Edge deals or availability of gold variant.
Best Buy has no word on gold
Sprint's website only show black and white
Amazon has the 64gb gold for pre-order for $399.99 with $30 worth of free apps. Warning, apps in Amazon store are waaaay outdated.
I pre-ordere black form BB to swap to gold later in order to get the free wireless charger, $59 retail.

I wouldn't mind having one.
Went to Best Buy for a "hands on" experience, and I have to say, this blew my M8 out of the water for screen quality.
A very good looking phone. I didn't realize however, that there wasn't a micro SD slot. That's a no go for me in the end, but it is truly a beautiful phone.

Black 64gig for me.
I too am hoping they ship a little early, and we don't have any root and recovery problems.

I just double checked and gold is available in 64gb but not 32gb on Sprint.com

Preordered black 64GB through Bestbuy. I have top wait till the 10th to pick it up.

It sucks they won't let us get out early even though sprint is already starting to ship them

The real cost of the HTC One A9

Okay, now after redeeming all the offers , I can safely state that HTC One A9 was brilliant value for money. Especially for those who bought it on pre-order.
Let's take a look at the pre-order price: That's 400 bucks.
With this we got 6 months google play subscription worth $60
2 years 100Gb Google Drive subscription(got a pop up today) worth $48
The uh-oh protection which is worth atleast $70 (that's the insurance cost of the Nexus 5x)
Which makes the actual phone cost ... $222 . Yep .. just 222.
:highfive:

would have preferred to have the fancy headphones also included...

And you didn't include the $100 coupon for HTC.com that those of us waiting for their red or gold models got. $122? Yep, good deal.

Me in Sprint, still waiting to receive my phone and promised to get $100 credit which can be used on any HTC products and additional 25% offer coupon. I'm planning to get $70 HTC studio headsets and $30 flip case after 25% off. Basically getting everything needed for $400

Is their a trick to get the $100 offer? I am waiting for the gold and never got that offer.

Give them a call and ask about the delay. I think they are going to send that offer to everyone who's phone will be shipped in December

Just wish the $100 would be a credit on the price of the phone, I don't need/want any HTC accessoires.

I took the B&H deal. $399 no tax, expedited shipping, $50 gift card, case, Garmin Vivofit 3 fitness band.

B&H is the best deal for those who live in California unless you really want the JBL BT headphones.

It is by far the best deal

Received mine today from new Egg. The blue tooth head phones are okay. But not great. My 1st pair, so nothing to compare it to. The phone is great though!

Newegg seems to have the best deal. Good to know the JBL headphones are ok.

Amazon new low price only $435

Looks like Amazon has dropped their price for both the black and white versions from $499.99 to $434.99.

Just got my essential 4 days ago. Amazon wanted me to return it and buy new one at lower price instead of refund the differences.?

you are lucky you live in the us and do not have to pay customs taxes.... I bought mine 2 days before the cyber Monday deal. because I live in Europe I was ****ed. I got a 99$ gift card but not the 360 cam.
so return it and let them bleed. not you!

After conversions and postage it came to about $600 Australian.
I just bought one on a whim, heaven help me. I could have bought something with a better reputation for that money, but I am just curious about this thing.

it's a great phone.
The initial performance and throttling issues are worked out.
When it first released I sent it back because a LG G6 would benchmark better.
Now running various benchmarks on Oreo B3 it benchmarks about as high as the theoretical limit for a SD835 device.
The camera is okay, but I own three APS-C cameras so I don't care if it's not the best on the market.

Amazon just pump it back to $499.00!

The Amazon offer is gone. It is back to $499.99

$449 now on Amazon.

I bought mine from Telus in Canada for $460, no contract. They are required by law to unlock phones upon request as well. $460 CAD is a lot less than $499US

Who ordered the 256 GB version?

I ordered yesterday

Me, too Finally all I love and need on my phone without need of an external SD

mee too!

Go big or go home!

I absolutely would have but I don't work full time currently and I have a ton of necessary expenses that come before absolutely needing a new phone so I had to get the cheapest one I could stand. 128GB should be perfectly fine for me but I would have preferred 256 for "just in case" situations.

The 256GB version is Out of stock in Europe !!!

me

Ordered 8/256 version on 22 with priority shipping (free) and delivered to Italy on 24!

Luckyman !!!
Since yesterday 256GB version is Out of stock !!

256gb is the best of oneplus's versions available. It's barely enough for my needs but I can live with that.
I would like to take 1TB version but unfortunately they do not offer it yet (((

I did too. Will arrive on monday! So we can record 4k, and we'll need some space

I did. Got mine yesterday. Totally awesome!!!???

I did... I don’t change phones often so need that storage to last 2 years

Without sdcard slot It's the Best solution for me 256GB capacity !

Any idea when the 256GB will be back in stock?

Max or nothing! #256gbTeam

I got it despite not being sure I'll need that much storage. The price difference was a bit factor.

I did. Got the mirror back 128 version. I also remembered I still had a student ID from a college I attended 10 years ago. Used that and got 5% off the device and 10% off accessories. My total bill including rush shipping was 589.00. Not bad considering I paid 940 for my S9+. The S9+ is a great phone. I just always need a phone that I can test new ROM's on. I sold all my other phones and now down to just the S9+ and the OnePlus6.

Looking to buy 256gb version as soon as it's back in stock.
For the student discount do you just need a .edu email address?
