Nice! I think I will stay with the Razr for awhile though, very happy with it.

I got the HTC One from Sprint.

I'm ordering mine on Friday. I was going to preorder it yesterday, but for some reason, AT&T pricing isn't working correctly for me. I was on the phone over an hour with them trying to get it to charge $199 for the 32gb version, but it kept showing $239. They said call back on Friday, the day it becomes available for sale and it should be priced correctly then. I also get $100 back from HTC for my old Inspire!

Yeah they say $199 but that is without taxes added on so it will be more. Mine was $199 with Sprint for the 32Gb but with taxes total was close to that like $236.

My not researched guess: ACLU Is big on protecting individual privacy, lagging updates could expose individuals to higher risk of privacy breaches.

I asked if that was including taxes or the upgrade fee of $36. She said no, that was the base price. I'll just have to wait until Friday.

Hmm strange the only other thing it could be is maybe a activation fee which they usually rein-burst you one the device is activated.

 

[raoul5788]

She told me the upgrade fee and activation fee are the same thing.

Hmm ok yeah well I hope they can get it cleared up for you..
