Since the other discussion was closed for some reason, I figured we needed to keep discussion of this phone open...
So, I started a new thread to continue our support group!
I would just like VZW to know that the last thread about the HTC One lasted 51 pages of hungry customers.
I think the fact that an HTC CDMA phone just got Wifi certification basically confirms the fact that we're getting the One.
It doesn't matter how many pages it was, if it was locked for Terms of Service issues there's not a lot us customers can do about it. It wasn't the only HTC One discussion going nor was it the longest thread I've seen.
@nneptune: Even with this latest internal rumor of Verizon green lighting the ONE, I think you did the right thing. You have the ONE and the drama is over. We only have hope, no date, and no understanding of the final product.
if they are going to announce the One (which they have to if they are getting a new HTC phone), it would make sense for them to take the time at CTIA next week to do so. Plus it would make thousands of people happy including myself.
Here is more hope or is it just normal ramp up?
http://www.latinospost.com/articles/19366/20130517/htc-one-release-date-verizon-model-works-doubles-production-month.htm
No that is pretty significant and that probably means that Verizon is truly getting the One as well as saying something next week regarding a release date. Given with what Nneptune said yesterday, this is pretty on spot.
And not just cdma, they need to make it global too.
My bet is that they do make some sort of announcement and I pray that it will be the 22nd, but we wont see a launch until mid june or later. By then rumors will already be swirling about the Butterfly 2 and other devices with the 800 snapdragon and 3gb ram with upgraded gpu's and better cameras, as well as wireless charging and waterproof casing like the dna has. Its really sad to see how slow verizon moves compared to att when it comes to new device launches.
Based on all the speculation and input here, I'm believing the ONE will appear (an FCC report might nail it). But I agree with jlbora23, that it will be a later release. I feel bad for HTC, as they will be losing out on comparison sales (S4 vs. ONE). Although we don't know "when" the ONE was green lighted, it would appear it was after the planned announcement for May 22. The S4, Q10, and 928 all have been released or appeared on the website without any fanfare. I don't believe the ONE would be handled differently, but I do believe if it was a DROID announcement, it might be.
Now getting a ONE with the new software updates and 4.2 might be a benefit and worth the additional wait (as long as my phone survives), if that rumor is true ... as it would take months to see an update on Verizon. An announcement of this kind would bolster my opinion of Verizon, but would be out of character from what I have seen.
Well nneptune, glad to see you coming back. Really, it's the only logical thing to do, as I have mentioned before, and I know some others have, it's great to have new technology but in the end it really comes down to the network reliability and the overall experience. Which is the major reason I have yet to jump ship, I now know of 3 people (you being # 3) that have exactly what you described, new technology and poor reception. The other guys are in big metropolitan areas, houston, and phoenix. Had they been in some podunk, backwoods, I might of reconsidered but big areas like that, with crappy reception that they have to stand by a window in their house or go outside to talk. No way, I'd deal with that, new phone or not.
Looks like it's nearly official!!!

May 19, 2013 | Filed under: opinion | Posted by: admin
It is the most stunning handset available in the market. And the good thing now is the fact that Verizon HTC One release date is very close
Though HTC One is available in most of the markets right now, the subscribers on the largest US telecom network Verizon are still awaiting the arrival of this handset on their network. For many people this is very disappointing. A number of people who would have gone for this very beautiful and equally powerful handset long time ago, the late arrival has meant that many disgruntled and disturbed HTC One fans have gone for the second best choice, Samsung’s Galaxy S4.
HTC One’s delayed arrival has done most harm to the Taiwanese company as people got agitated and started going for other handsets. But the good thing is the fact that the company is now working hard to double the manufacture of this handset. The other thing is the fact and company knows it well that people who like HTC One due to its beautiful body and exceedingly good built quality are not going to be enticed by other handsets available in the market. But the very long delay forced at least some to go for the other handset.
So far the most prominent issue facing HTC was the lack of enough units of the One and certainly the firm is working its best to meet the escalating demand. Now, putting all legal and component shortage issues behind, HTC is all set to ramp up the production of its 2013 Android flagship. The firm is ready to double up production of the One this month in hope that the device would get “high-end sales” soon after its official release. Recently, HTC has been getting good response for its products. For example, the Butterfly, the first 1080p phone from HTC, has witnessed to an increase of 50 percent sales in Japan after putting some nice on-contract prices. The One will also be getting some cool offers and deals from HTC.
In the meantime the company has taken several initiatives to make its fans happy. The Sprint variant of HTC One has received a slight software update. The new update, which makes the version number to 1.29.651.10, improves the Back and Home key sensitivity. The handset has a minor problem with its capacitive keys below the display as they don’t often respond properly because the touch targets are evidently not large enough. The update has enhanced the touch key sensitivity, by enlarging the size of the target, thus making them further easier to activate. The update also brings some cool updates to BlinkFeed and adds a new Sprint Zone client to the One.
In United States, the Taiwanese giant’s flagship handset is up for grabs on three major carriers in the U.S. They are AT&T, T-Mobile and Sprint. As of now, there is a gossip that the handset would also come to Verizon, the country’s largest cellular service provider at some point in the near future. It is said that the same hardware and specs will come inside the Verizon HTC One also. The launch on Verizon will give it great impetus in the days to come.
nneptune did you return the at&t one back to the Store..
no. i did the htc $100 Visa card promotion.
Now that I returned it, I hope they give me the card.
If I just would have held on to my Rezound, I wouldn't be jumping through hoops right now to get the ONE!
I could kick myself over that, but at first it all seemed like it would be fine with AT&T, so I didn't think twice about it..
Now, I have a deal with the manager. I got an iPhone (talk about going backward in technology..it's not even close to what Android can do) which in 2 weeks I'll trade for an S4. Then, I'll trade the S4 for the ONE. Pain in the...neck... to say the least.
But, eventually I'll have the phone and this saga will be over. I'll keep telling myself that it's a fun adventure...instead of what it really is (as I wrote..a big pain in the ...).
I'm lucky to be friends with the manager, so it'll all work out.. and I'll at least get to see how these other phones work.
..and though it will probably be more than 4 weeks before it's released, I'll just say we have a plan. I don't want to get the guy in trouble.. but it helps to know people in managerial positions, who are close friends with a pretty major Verizon boss. I'll shut up now about this...
Understand.! Well back to the Storm Watching.. Lotta Mean Storms in the Area..
I had been anxiously waiting for this phone to be released on Verizon. Since it's release on the other three, I have checked it out in-store at Best Buy and a Sprint location, comparing it to the S4.
HTC got this one right!
It screams 'gorgeous,' for lack of a better term! The brushed-aluminum body, the weight of the phone shows off a quality and beautiful build. The dual-front facing speakers are a plus with Beats Audio, HTC Sense stripped down to a graphically-simple, yet speedy-on-the-swipes and opening applications is tremendous (think Google Chrome vs an old Internet Explorer)! It feels solid compared to the S4, which could be a real contender, but the light, plastic-cheap feel of the S4 is a turn-off to begin with. Samsung's UI TouchWiz seems to be like that of a heavily burdened and out-of-date internet browser. Screen-swipes, transitions, opening apps to begin with seem laggy and slow, especially after you go and get hands-on with the HTC One. I pray this phone is released on Verizon!
Also forgot to mention. Upgraded yesterday to the iPhone5. Returned that restrictive, overpriced, overrated, piece-of-trash earlier today. Come HTC One...come!
Seeing as I would be normally against rumors like these, since their is no information at all the guarantees the HTC One being on Verizon. I would love to see this phone be officially announced sometime!
Nneptune,
Good to see you back. Good luck with getting things sorted out at ATT.
HawaiiBKC,
I agree. It's still hearsay, until the make an announcement. If they do, and they say a July release date. I will blow a gasket.
I'll buy a SG4, then when the One comes out, I'll return it for a FULL refund even if I have to use a lawyer.
Verizon has also cheated us out of HTC's $100 offer as well.
Thanks Verizon for charging us the most, and letting us miss out on the $100 offer, which I will be seeking as a credit on my account if/when Verizon does get the One.
I played with the ONE at AT&T store and it is lovely. AT&T's 4G LTE was FAST too. I have used both HTC and Motorola on T-Mobile and Verizon in the past (Razr M on VZW now) and if I wasn't in a contract I night have jumped for the ONE on AT&T or maybe T-Mobile again, considering T-Mobile's new plans are better priced for what you get than verizon's Share wallet plans. I'll wait till T-Mo's LTE goes live and then we'll see how AT&T and VZW respond.
Check this from the CTIA news item on the Verizon news page: "Verizon Wireless will also live stream a news conference on the News Center beginning at 11:15 a.m. PT on Wednesday".
With an announcement of HTC One availability by no later than June, then I'll hold out for the One. With a later date or no discussion of the One at all, I'm giving up on that and going with the S4. I've got to stick with Verizon for work reasons, and I'm not ready to wait for the One any longer than that.
Less than two days til MY big announcement.
Where I tell Verizon to pound sand and take my 9 line account somewhere else, if they don't announce info re: the One.
I just thought I'd throw this out there in case anyone didn't know this. I've noticed a few people mentioned (on this and the old thread) that they have bought another device and returned it and are Hopi g for the One. You only get to return or exchange a phone once so please make sure the next one you get is what you want. I only point this out because I know many people aren't aware of it, but if you use your upgrade and then exchange or return the phone and get a different one later, that is the phone you will have to keep. Just making sure nobody gets stuck with something that they never intended to keep.
It will come and I will wait for it. I want the super awesome pixel density and the boomsound speakers. Not all the stupid useless bells and whistles that the s4 has e.g. touch free swipe. I currently have the DNA now but the One will most likely replace it. They seem to be having a ton of technical issues anyway with the DNA..and I'm a huge media user. I need more than 16 gig storage space lol. I just went to the htc site and signed up for email newsletters...but the waiting game sometimes is a hard one to play for some...
Yeah the DNA looks plagued, but not sure how widespread those issues are. I can't imagine having a phone that starts ringing with no incoming call! Here is a brief listing of some potential HTC ONE issues:
http://www.digitaltrends.com/mobile/htc-one-problems/
I have noticed the speaker bezel issue at BestBuy on a couple of floor samples. I would ask the sales rep to get you one that is smooth in all corners. Hopefully it is just an initial startup issue in manufacturing.
Another rumor popped up today here is the link.
http://www.gottabemobile.com/2013/05/21/verizon-htc-one-rumors-take-interesting-turn/
Basically some HTC rep went to a sprint store and whipped out a verizon htc one running 4.2.2
Verizon has 21 days till the end of my contract, they better have something good tomorrow!
Oh! Cool..Thanks You already gave the link! That's what I was about to do.
Things are looking good!!:

Well let's hope that it's more than a possibility.
The post on that forum seemed pretty vague and the poster never came back with more info, when questioned.
What sucks is the DNA offer expires before their announcement.
It will be surprising and interesting what ever they announce to be sure.
It just seems pretty impossible to hide things these days, so if V having a special announcement for the One even though they've not done so for any of the other big phones, you'd think it would have been leaked somehow by now.
We all knew V was going to get the S4 and the iphone 5 and the Nokia and the DNA, before they announced it.
Random Rumor: HTC Rep Stops by a Sprint Store, Pulls Out Verizon HTC One Running 4.2.2
Hey All,
I too am very excited about the HTC One. I think it's about time to upgrade my Droid 2.....so really any phone will be a huge upgrade. I've been studying the One and the S4 for a little time now, and as much as I love the One on every feature, there is one little thing that is bothering me. Making a phone call with a voice search command that is easy to initiate. My wife has an iPhone 4S, and I have to admit using Siri to make phone calls and the backup and restore functionality of iTunes is very impressive. But I've had an Android phone for almost as long as there has been Android, plus I want a larger screen. In the end, a phone is supposed to make...phone calls. HTC has a thing called Smart Dial https://support.htc.com/en/005-HTC_One/050/000 which seems like a fancy name for the exact same search function in my old Droid 2. Not impressive. The S4 does have a function that allows voice search of contacts. Now obviously I've not been able to use more advanced Google software like Now or Voice due to my OS version and older hardware. So maybe there is a work around to this that I'm not aware of? Any comments are welcome.
Rumor Verizon Rep showed off Verizon HTC One with the latest version of JB 4.2.2 at a Sprint store. What is more interesting is the comment left for the article at the bottom: " earlier today a verizon rep confirmed to me that the press event tomorrow at ctia is in fact about the htc one for verizon" take it FWIW...
Feel free to buy as you please. That's certainly your choice.
I can tell you that I had the ONE for 2 weeks straight (I only returned it because the service of ATT is awful out here) and found it to be an exciting and fun phone..extremely technologically advanced!
I have used the iPhone, and to me, it's the most unexciting, boring technological thing out there. Now, I own a MacBook Pro and an iPad, but that phone is a bore.
The S4 and One have some similarities, and are both excellent phones, but in my book (and it's just my opinion), the ONE is the greatest phone I've ever had the pleasure to have used. I'm looking forward to its release so I can have it back again!! I can't say too many bad things about the phone. The whole experience is just plain fun and well-built!

i'm not sure what you're looking to do exactly? With either google now, or just the older google search widget, you can touch the microphone and say "call john doe" and it calls john doe. here is a list of the more common voice commands and how to use them:
http://www.usemydroid.com/android-voice-commands/
you can send a text, or write and send an email, etc. etc. Google Now has many more features, but the original search widget can do quite a bit, all by voice.
edit: samsung does have it's own version of siri/google now, and it is pretty nice, but i find that i use google's voice commands A LOT more than samsungs.....but that could just be because i already knew how to use them when i got my note ii.
Yes I was aware of this function. However it does not seem to work very well. I tried to call a person on my contact list and it tried to phone someone in Britain....I had to quickly press cancel as I live in the US. So your solution does not seem to be an easy one. Unless their is some setup involved I'm not aware of? It stands to reason that if Samsung created this function there was a need for it....
OK, those who were sceptical that Verizon would use this May 22 event to announce the HTC One were right. On to plan B.
Guess it's time to order an S4.....
i agree i'm sick and tired of verizon playing mind games with me over wether or not they are getting the ONE. also I wasn't thrilled about not being able to remove the battery anyway. i'm big into music and love the beats integration on my rezound so i will miss having beats.
What an embarrassing press conference!
Yes indeed. SMH

it's worked flawless for me? i have first and last names for all of my contacts though, because if i have 2 amy's and say "call amy" it may start to call the wrong one. as far as samsung coming up with their own version goes, that's just what they do. android has a camera app. samsung builds their own into their devices. android has a dialer. samsung builds their own. android has messaging. samsung builds their own. htc and lg do the same. they skin these devices with their own UI which contains A LOT of duplicate apps/functions. while samsung did a nice job with s-voice, it (in my opinion) is not as nice a google's voice commands. heck.....samsung has thier own app store, but i wouldn't say that this is because there is a need for it. google has done a pretty good job af it.
on another note, i'm guessing from these posts that they didn't announce a One or any version of it? i didn't expect them to, but that's pretty lame anyway. i'm a huge fan of htc and was really hoping they would turn things around. they still can, as i've played with the One and i have to believe it's selling well on the other carriers, but without verizon, they just can only sell so many. surely verizon will get an htc fairly soon though. they typically launch 2-3 each year.
Verizon - you're letting your customer base down!!!! We're out here literally telling you what we want, and you FAIL!!! It's not like we're talking about some obscure, piece of crap phone...IT'S ONLY THIS YEAR'S HOTTEST PHONE TO DATE and every other carrier on the planet already has the phone!!! I've been holding out on upgrading my phone/renewing my contract for 5 months, waiting, hoping, eagerly anticipating that you will finally announce you're going to offer the HTC One...and you completely dash my hopes and expectations. STOP SNUBBING YOUR NOSE AT YOUR CUSTOMERS BIG RED!!!
Guess I will be letting my contract expire and moving carriers to get my HTC One.
I'm about done with Verizon after this nonsense. I drooled over the Sony Xperia Z...not happening. I jumped for joy at the HTC One...not a peep. Their "big announcement" is a racially-targeted brick store? Because latinos = a need for their kids to play? WTH, Verizon?
Am I supposed to just wait and trust? Nope, sorry. My contract is up July 30th. That's my waiting period. I don't care what you end up calling it - Droid DNA II, Butterfly 2, HTC Verizon One...that's the phone I want, and I'm fed up having to wait for Verizon's Johnny-come-lately excuses. I'm not interested in the S4 nor any iPhone variant, and it seems those are the only phones Verizon wants to sell.
Fine. It's their business. Just as it's mine to take MY business elsewhere.
Choices, Verizon. That's all we're asking for. It just seems to be too much for you.
ATT here i come , Verizon. your out of touch with you customers we want the htc one, sick of waiting
>> edited to remove profanity <<
I am under contract until January (with the Rezound). I'm either going to early terminate or try to stay with my Rezound which is running fine (with CM 10.1 running Andy 4.2.2). It appears that Verizon really disrespects HTC compared to its treatment of Samsung and their products. I think that ATT might be my next destination in order to have that 64gb version of the One.
january? 8 months from now there will be a completely different htc to worry about.
This was the most disappointing event. I cannot believe they didn't announce the release of the HTC One or similar device. You are either stuck with the plastic Galaxy s4 (which is $50 more with Verizon) or you have to jump to another carrier. The rates at Verizon are ridiculous and I am beyond tempted to leave for greener pastures with AT&T. I would sacrifice a slower network and less coverage to join Tmobile since they offer free calling over Wifi. ...with Verizon's horrible plan caps on data and pricing I'm stuck on Wifi 90% of the time anyways.
I can't believe they made a big deal out of that embarrassing "announcement".
They know what people want! Come on!
I had the phone, and it's incredibly great. I only had to give it up because ATT's coverage is abysmal.
Sprint and T-Mobile have nothing out here.
So, I came back, hoping it would be announced today. I was all excited.. watching Android Central do live reporting on my phone, while at work. I couldn't believe what I was reading!!
But, my sources do ensure me that Verizon will be getting the phone. They are always right.
However, a release date was never given. Whispers are saying a few months..
Verizon is the worst. Too bad their service is so damn good... otherwise, I happily would have stayed with ATT... but all I was getting was dropped calls and 2g to 3g data. Even the techs admitted that their towers are deteriorating..so be careful if you're going to switch carriers. Great phone with horrid service ruins the experience. Check coverage maps closely. The phone itself was almost worth it..but there were too many negatives about them to keep the phone.
I am bummed that it wasn't announced today. Do they enjoy toying with customers?? Especially with the best phone ever produced to date?? Unreal.
I had AT&T and I regret leaving. I miss being able to just pop my SIM card in a back up phone or a newly purchased phone and walk out the store using it. Verizon is disappointing people with the lack of keeping up with phones. They are bleeding me for money every month with an outrageous bill. I wouldn't mind if I could buy the phone I wanted. Hell at least offer the phone for some ridiculous price and over-hyped additional features.
I understand your frustration with Verizon, but is it necessary to make the comment "Because latinos = a need for their kids to play?" I hate the decision VZW makes about phone selections just as much as you do, but to make an unnecessary comment regarding ethnicity is totally uncalled for and shows ignorance on your part.

There was hardly a reason to think they would announce the One. The only compelling reason was because of the DNA offer.
This garbage about a HTC rep showing a Verizon version at a Sprint store and leaked code about wifi and bluetooth certification is all just ploys to get people to look at the websites that post that nonsense.
As I said earlier, I regret "listening" to all the rumors and not just getting a DNA from the start. Rumor has been there since December about Verizon and the One.
Where are we now? Still in the dark, with nothing more than speculative rumor for months and months.
In truth, the One might be coming, but I doubt anytime in the next month or two.
We've been had guys.
Verizon's press event was the most racist thing I have ever seen a major company do. I am in complete dis-belief that a company would hold a press conference, pay a singer millions of dollars to twist statistics to cater specifically to one ethnic group. It doesn't get any more biased or racist than that.
Way to go big red.
And they used CITA as their platform.
Unbelievable!!!!!
Just read Gotta be mobile's article which is spot on.
http://www.gottabemobile.com/2013/05/22/verizon-htc-one-5-thoughts/
It's getting too late. The One is almost two months old. There is no proof about a One.
The Butterfly 2 isn't due until the fall, and Verizon will just wait til then as that's what the DNA is based off of.

Fleafly I'm guessing you didn't watch/read about Verizon's "big announcement" today? Where they touted how they're going to open stores geared towards Latinos? Called "Vivo Mobile"?
I quote: "Lopez, who will serve as chief creative officer for Viva Movil, emphasized the need for a mobile brand that addresses Latinos who may be immigrants, but are also American citizens. She said this demographic shops differently."
"Lopez emphasized that the in-store shopping experience would be different than it is at other carrier's wireless stores. There will be a play area for children and there will be lots of devices for people to test out before they buy."

"Actually if his contract is up July 30th his upgrade was March 30th."
Dat, right dere
I've already been waiting; I could have upgraded, but to what? The DNA, a phone that's 6 months out of cycle when I could jump to another carrier and have either an S4 or HTC One in-hand?
I'm willing to hold out until the end of my contract, but do I really expect Verizon to change? No. Likely some announcement will come that the DNA 2 is coming soon, and it won't be released until November. Frankly my phone (yes, I own the original Droid RAZR) is about ready to keel over, and I don't see the point in waiting another 5-6 months on a hope and a prayer.
That leaves me with leaving Verizon, since there only seem to offer exclusives - or only get phones a month+ later than everyone else. I like the service, but I'm willing to sacrifice the service for having OPTIONS. shrug
AT&T was really bad here, but they were going to build up a bit around here.
I think maybe I should have stayed. I really loved that phone. <also shrugs>
I had the T-Mobile HTC One for about a week. The phone is absolutely beautiful, work of art, and that screen is fantastic. Front facing speaker are also cool. However, T-Mobile service is abissmal, nothing at all at my house so had to return.
Had hoped they would announce the One at CTIA, but that was the most racial and pointless announcement that I have ever seen in my life.
My contract is up 26 days, and I will likely be moving to AT&T since they have decent coverage in my area. Either going to pick up another One or the S4 Google Edition, neither of which I can get on Verizon, since they don't seem to care what consumers want.
I'm out of contract as of May 3rd. I really want the One to replace my Thunderbolt! I'll hang on for a bit, but if something doesn't happen soon, I will have to take my 4 lines elsewhere. It's just a shame that Verizon can't see the mistake they're making.
Some more speculation.
http://www.phonearena.com/news/HTC-One-coming-to-Verizon_id43321
I was devastated yesterday at VZW's announcement. I've been waiting and checking everyday on any new developments.
I think everyone jumping ship should wait at least one more month. I know its hard, but many insiders and reputable news outlets are saying the One will arrive on V 1-2 months after the rest. Some are even saying 3 months. The WSJ even confirmed it and it has been right several times in the past. I also think that there won't be any big stage announcement or anything.. it'll just be available as the Lumia 928 and GS4 were made available.
I sure was not devastated as J-Lo is very eye pleasing in my opinion I liked the announcement and hope to see more out of J.
Verizon...or at least the moderator will see this. I have a question regarding your business plan for the HTC one or any new phone in general.
What's the point of having the "greatest" 4G LTE network when all your costumers don't want to use your "useless", for lack of a better word because the moderator would edit it, phones for it?
It's been 143 days and Verizon finally released a decent phone, the Samsung Galaxy S4?! You've got to be kidding me
I agree with and will do what @Danishs said because we've waited this long so why not wait more.
My Thunderbolt lags like crazy and it battery life is horrid... *sigh*
I'm done ranting just hear us out and give the people want they want
Sigh....I hate to perpetuate speculation on arrival of the phone but Phonescoop received a snapshot from source about a third party advertisement touting sales of HTC One accesories for Verizon. I'll take this with a grain of salt as this may just be photoshopped :
I too am a poor TB owner awaiting the HTC One with bated breath, checking daily for news, or SOMETHING. My contract has been up for many months...
Through LlabTooFeR's Twitter, someone named Undefined Drifter (@leaderpvp) states rather confidently that the HTC one will be released at the end of May. Of course this seems unlikely, since the end of May is upon us, and I'm not about to get my hopes way up again after the CTIA letdown -- but does anyone have a thought on the reliability of this source? See: https://twitter.com/leaderpvp
I'm not sure but I wouldn't bank on it. HTC PR said they'll make a big deal of it and there is only 7 days (1 week) + today left in this month. On another note about llabtoofer, he said there will be a HTC One google edition or something along the lines....
Yet another rumor. I swear, the oems and the wireless carriers, and the tech websites are the tech world's version of a soap opera.

Ever since mention of the M7 back in January, Amazon has listed accessories for the Verizon One/M7. It means nothing.
As I posted before, at CITA, HTC stated they have no plans for a Verizon One.
The Google version is the S4, and it will not work on Verizon. An HTC Google version wouldn't either.
Face it folks. None of the leaks from anybody including friends and relatives, have been correct. We won't see anything from HTC for Verizon until the fall.
HTC said they would make a stink, there has not been any solid evidence, or proof, like there was with the SG4 and Nokia.
It's not going to happen this summer.
That's true.....maybe by January the DNA 2 will be out. But arrogant Verizon may have finally lost enough customers by then that they might regret their shabby treatment of HTC fans. In Baltimore/Washington area, ATT can give Verizon a coverage run for the money and actually is said to have faster LTE (guess I just better not travel LOL) download speeds compared to Verizon.
