The BLACK HTC One

Where is it and why is this taking so long for verizon to release it?

What is taking so long? Black is not that exclusive of a color, only every other carrier has that color along with that ****** looking silver...

Purely my hate for Verizon. I have no real information. I'm just saying that if Verizon does bring out the black color they're going to bring it out at the most inconvenient time for their customers and that will be right after they settled for the silver one and are unable to return it.

Pretty sure Verizon makes a ton of money, and there are plenty of people who like the silver version.

Well I'm pretty sure they're gonna release the black one but its just a matter of when. It would have been interesting to see which one people bought more the black or the silver one but when they release the black one it will not have been a fair comparison in terms of sales.

Regardless though, what is taking so long to release this basic color. Idk why it wasn't there for launch ... It makes me furious because I've been waiting for this phone since april and then found out about the black one soon after and am still waiting ......

I sell cell phones in a retail store (not a carrier store). We have AT&T, Sprint, and Verizon. No one wants Silver. We've never sold a silver One for AT&T or Sprint; everyone buys black. We've sold one silver for Verizon since it's the only color and the person who bought it said they would rather the black but need a new phone right now. Other Verizon customers have told me they want to wait for the black. It does seem to us like Verizon is losing sales (and 2 yr. re-commitments) by not having the black. Although, I have heard that there are supply constraints with the black one so maybe that's why it isn't on VZW yet. I don't see why one color should be more constrained unless it's purely do to the fact that everyone wants black so they're selling fast!! Definitely true at our store!

Another concern is the non-aluminum parts of the One. On the silver version, the sides are white. That white part feels a little rough, like the back of the HTC One X for AT&T did. Let me tell you, the white One X we had out on display got completely filthy over time and cleaning it didn't completely get it back to the bright white it started out as. That's a big fear with the silver One. The sides on the silver One look like they'll pick up dirt just as easily as the back of the One X. On the black, the sides are also black so it wouldn't show dirt. Just another reason to prefer black.

hmm that's interesting because all of the reddit threads, I have made people are saying that silver has been a more popular version overwhelmingly but I'm glad to hear that people are not even buying the phone because its not out in black and very few are getting the silver.

I dont understand why it is taking so long.. like what is the problem...It doesn't make any sense to me

I honestly thought that the black one was going to be available during launch.

This was a thread I made a while ago and people really believed that the black one was going to be there on launch day

So has anyone heard anything at all whether or not there will ever be a black htc one offered? Any reps that read this thread....Is there someone I or we could email or call and get a definitive answer whether or not this is ever going to happen or not? Surely there has to be someone that can tells us something!

You won't get a definitive answer on a peer to peer customer forum.

I'm most definitely NOT a VZW employee. If a post answered your question, please mark it as the answer.

I realize that thanks. That is why I asked if there is someone I can email or call to get an answer. So again I ask if any verizon rep reads this can you provide me with an email or number to find out if a black htc one will ever be coming to verizon? We have been waiting for a long time! thank you for your time

There is no one in official channels who will give you that answer before an official announcement.  Your best bet for finding this out ahead of time would be to check the android blog sites.

I'm with you...I only want the black one.  Silver is not an option, so I sit and wait.

I really don't get why Verizon after waiting all this time doesn't have every color of the One.

Just because you don't like silver, doesn't mean everyone agrees.

I love the silver housing.  It's a nice change over every other smart phone that isn't iSpeshul being black.

Fair enough but its not fair that verizon has to be this late in releasing phones and the basic colors as you said in that most phones are black why isn't this phone just out in black as an option for verizon customers
