HTC is giving away 5 One M9s (US only) while possibly also revealing the phone's retail price

While HTC is already taking pre-orders for the One M9 in Europe, for now the new handset can't be pre-ordered in the US. However, you should be happy to know that, if you live in the US, you can win a One M9 from HTC just by visiting the company's website and completing a registration form.

HTC is actually giving away five One M9 smartphones in a sweepstakes that's open until March 24, with winners being randomly selected "on or about March 25." Interestingly, HTC says that the Approximate Retail Value (ARV) of a One M9 is $599 - which means that this might be the official (unlocked) price of the handset when it launches in the US. You can find all the details about HTC's sweepstakes at the source links below.

Several days ago, Best Buy briefly mentioned that it could sell the One M9 for $$649 in the US. Both this price, and HTC's alleged $599 price are lower than the price of the M9 for Europe (€749).

The One M9 will be available starting later this month, although US carriers might not launch it before April. Check out our One M9 hands-on from MWC 2015 to take a closer look at the new flagship smartphone.
