Now official! T-Mobile to launch HTC One on April 24th

This tweet confirms that the HTC One will launch via T-Mobile on April 24

Not once, but twice on Monday we passed along a leaked document that showed that the HTC One would be launching from T-Mobile on April 24th. Tuesday, in the form of a tweet from the carrier, the news became official and we now can stay that the nation's fourth largest carrier will release its version of the new HTC flagship a week from Wednesday. While there has been no official word on pricing, with T-Mobile no longer using the 'S' Word, we expect to see the phone priced at $99.99 for a down payment with 24 monthly installments of $24 due. While there is no contract to bind you to the carrier, just remember that your phone stays locked to T-Mobile until it is paid off.

This Friday, Sprint and AT&T will launch the device. What's that? Speak up,we're not young anymore. Horizon? Yes, HTC certainly set its sight on the horizon with the HTC One. What?! Oh, you were asking about Verizon. No, Virginia, the HTC One is not coming to Verizon at this point. The nation's largest carrier might be satisfied with the HTC DROID DNA. But it will be $199.99 for the 32GB model at AT&T and Sprint, as long as you sign the requisite two year contract. AT&T will eventually have the 64GB Big Gulp size of the HTC One for $299.99 on an exclusive basis.

Definitely love the tmobile lineup. Htc One, Galaxy S4, Galaxy Note 2, Galaxy S3, Lg Nexus 4, Iphone 5, BlackBerry 10 and UNLIMITED DATA. The BEST place to be is Tmobile period.

I would probably say the same, except that I don't get coverage.

I get phenomenal coverage and speeds in my area. also 20-29Mbps regularly on HSPA+42 and no dropped calls everywhere I go.

Ya I don't know why people hate tmobile, I had their $30 5gb 4g plan and I liked their service enough I bumped it up to Unlimited everything. Never see speeds below 20Mbps

How did this plan work out for you? I'm about to switch to it with my HTC One and use WiFi calling to help out the 100 minutes situation.

I travel the Midwest and T-Mobile's coverage is not very good. I have a VZW MiFi Spot from work which is prettty good on coverage. My phone is on ATT and other than Northeast Iowa and South Western Wisconsin 2G coverage, ATT is very good. ATT continues to improve its coverage in South Eastern Minnesota and into Iowa. I had good luck with T-Mobile until 3 years ago. Then overnight my coverage went from 4 bars to One to no coverage. They had a tower go down and decided not to replace it. Happy to see you get coverage but many folks are not so fortunate that travel all over the US. As for the 64GB ATT version, the website says it will ship April 23rd or sooner when I looked yesterday.
