The HTC One is hugely anticipated and was due to release in the UK in
the next few days and the US later in March, however earlier today we
told how there now appears to be a release delay. If you’re a developer
though then you will be happy to hear that HTC is about to launch an
HTC One Developer Edition although it appears these will be available in
limited quantities.
The HTC One Developer Edition will apparently be introduced in the US at the same time as the standard edition but of course the earlier delay news
casts some doubt on exactly when that will be with April looking a
likely timeframe. The Developer Edition of the phone is the 64GB
variety and will come with an unlocked bootloader and SIM slot but apart
from that has the same specs and look as the standard One.
The price of the HTC One Developer Edition will be $649 but there is
one thing we should point out and it’s that this variant will not have
AWS HSPA/WCDMA access so it will have restricted use on T-Mobile until
the carrier’s LTE network kicks in. No doubt there will be plenty of
developers eager to start building and testing their apps but do
remember those limited quantities we mentioned, to customers with a US
zip code only.
It’s certainly a busy time for devs with the Samsung Galaxy S4
announcement due to take place tomorrow and no doubt many will be
wondering which of these two phones to check out first or which will
actually arrive first? Will you be purchasing the Developer Edition of
the HTC One? Let us know with your comments.
