HTC One to launch March 22nd for Sprint, AT&T and T-Mobile?

Earlier Thursday, we told you that a tipster had passed along the word that the eagerly awaited HTC One would be priced in the U.S. at $199.99 with a signed two-year contract for the 32GB model, and $299.99 for the 64GB variant. Now, we have a rumored launch date to go with that. If the information is legitimate, you can expect the HTC One to be available on March 22nd from AT&T, T-Mobile and Sprint. We told you recently that Verizon is not taking part in the launch of HTC's new flagship model immediately.

Whether it is due to strong current sales of the HTC DROID DNA, or because of the money it has recently spent on promoting the model, Verizon is believed to be waiting until later in the year to sell a version of the HTC One that could be called the HTC DROID DNA Plus. While both the HTC DROID DNA and HTC One have a FHD display, the latter device offers it on a smaller 4.7 inch screen compared to the 5 inches on the former. That gives the HTC One a pixel density of 468ppi versus 441ppi for the HTC DROID DNA. That difference is really too small for most people to notice and it could be that Big Red would rather have a big 5 inch model in its lineup.

The HTC One will launch in Europe on March 8th, according to the tipster, at a price of €649.99 ($880 USD).
