I went into a tmobile store today asking when the htc magic was going to be released and the they told me july 8th then i asked when the htc hero is coming and they said they dont know and the lady said the only other phone she knows is what he has (she pointed to another tmobile guy) and BAM he pulled out the touch pro2..i was in awe! i didnt like the colors though it had a brown back..i like the silver in the picture alot better..but ya..oh man i cant remember if it had the front camera :/..but it had tmobile logo on the top
WOW if you are serious I think I want to go into a tmobile store and see for my self not because I dont beleive you but jsut because I want to see it with my own eyes, this is GREAT news!!! Thanks for posting this! oh and are they going to call it the wing 2 or the touch pro 2?
i am dead serious..im not sure i was so shocked i didnt ask questions he let me play with it and then i had to go cuz the store was closing..i think one worker form every store gets it to test..he told august 8th..and i can upgrae july 30th! ..but i really like my magic :/ android with hero is amazing
Wow Im surprised more people arent posting, this is amazing to me I think I will try to stop by a T-mobile store when I get the chance because it would be amazing to try out a touch pro 2, especially the tmobile branded one about a month ago when I was there they never even heard of it lol
does anyone know the price? and will they force you to eat a pda data plan?
Anyone else see one in a T-Mobile store? I am thinking of going down to the closest T-Mobile store to see if they have it!
I hope not

Noooooo! I don't want to wait until August 8th
I thought T-mobiles TP2 was supposed to come out on July http://www.wmexperts.com/t-mo-getting-dash-3g-july-1-visual-voicemail-july-22-touch-pro-2-sometime?
Are you sure that they had their facts straight?
edit: I called around to all of the t-mobile stores in my area, and none of them have a unit in their store yet

Its not that I don't believe you, its that I'm sad that there aren't any in my area. Plus I hope that you are wrong about the release date... Jul 22nd sounds better than Aug 8th
But what are your impressions on the phone? Is the T-mobile version just as nice looking as the Global version? do you like the lack of chrome?
& I'm fairly sure that T-mobiles touch pro2 will come in mocha color and black

That was one of my main concerns about buying TP2 with an american carrier
You´re right they screwed up and sadly I think any other carrier will screw up with different colors.....(Hope I´m wrong)

I wish I can do that, but if in USA you guys have to wait till July or August, imagine in México!, we have to wait for our 3G version (in the best case scenario and if arrives...) till november!
So I´ll wait till be launched in USA and then decide if buy one of those nasty modifications models or to loose 3G with an european beauty.......
Hard descicion uh?
Just my personal thinking.
Cheers to all,
was offically announces five days ago anybody planing on giving up there T-moble TP2 for the G2 or holding on to it until a window seven phone come out?

Seems off topic for this forum...but, yes.
So far I haven't heard anything about WP7 that makes it sound like something I'd want to wait for... And I'm tired of missing the apps/features that have come to Android and other OS, and not WM.

Me too...which is one reason I'm not interested in WP7 (based on what I've heard so far, it'll be way-locked-down)

but the specs i dont quite like im holding out for an android with specs like the evo or better

Mine was pre-ordered. I got a text from T-Mobile 2 days ago letting me know to expect my G2 to arrive within 7 days.
After actually reading that Oct 16 launch article in the link above, the only thing I can figure is that the G2 will be officially released to all customers. New or existing customers. The T-Mobile guy told me on the phone that it would be arriving at my house around the 6th. So, I dunno.. It would not surprise me any if it didn't come out till November 16th. Nothing about the phone companies ever comes as a surprise. But, I am still having fun customizing my TP2 and messing around with the xandroid on the sd card.
wow so there's people on here making off topic posts about the fisher price lookin OS too.

It fun customizing the TP2 but i think it time for somthing solid. to much flashing and re-installing app gets annoying after a while

Following articles say G2 may be on sale any day now, or may already be available:

Not sure about the comment about not wanting to give up the ability to customize (like you can on the TP2). There is lots of customization available on Android, on an OS that is vastly smoother, more stable, and has tons of support from app developers.
One of the few things stopping me from going to Android, is the lack of a ATT-compatible handset with a hardware keyboard. And I might be willing to overlook the keyboard requirement.

Typing on a phone with a big screen like the HD2 is not that bad.
I'm thinking of going with the Desire Z (virtually identical to the G2).

Don't think that's got a hardware keyboard though, more of an HD2 equivalent, perhaps ?

People with iPhones have the same description of the screen keyboard: "not that bad". The screen keyboard is never described as "good". "Not that bad" isn't good enough for me. A hardware keyboard is simply faster, more accurate, and therefore a superior input method. It does result in a slightly thicker form factor, but that's a trade-off that is more than worthwhile, IMO. Especially coming from the best hardware keyboard on a phone (the TP2), its pretty tough for me to make a switch to a screen keyboard.

People who pre-ordered started receiving the G2 late last week. And the G2 board at T-Mobile Forums has been going nuts for several days...crises rising and falling -- lots of drama.
Will there be a possibility of rooting the HTC One (or S-OFF)? From my understanding there will be a locked bootloader for this phone...:crying:
Vent: I'm sorry but I think this launch is the second worst launch (the worst being Galaxy Nexus on Verizon). If you look at the Verizon webpage there is NO indication of the HTC One whatsoever other than the email signup. People at Verizon are clueless (especially sales reps) as to release dates/inventory/colors/etc but the opposite is true for all the Droid phones which is plastered everywhere AND they haven't really released the phone until 8/27 (shipping date). If you ask sales people questions about any of the Droids its like they suddenly know everything about it and nothing about the HTC One. Its weird, if you were a carrier wouldn't you push ALL phones especially highly rated phones like the HTC One/iPhone/Galaxy S4. I'm not saying the Droid's aren't bad its just that...*sigh*

I took it upon myself to make weekly visits to my local VZW store and update them on the One. On my first visit I asked about the release date and the rep said "You mean the Maxx". I shook my head and began describing my new friend Zoey
I have been wanting this phone ever since HTC announced it back in February. Now to finally have it available on verizon and its only offered in silver! I am so frustrated the way Verizon has handled this phone since day one and now this crap with one color to choose from! I have tried tweeting on verizons official tweet page asking if there will ever be a black version offered and if so when. Not one person has acknowledged me at all. Droid life reported that atleast one of there sources claims to have seen the black version. Whether thats true or not who knows? My question to anyone who reads this post....Do you know if there will be or ever will be a black version available on verizon?

I doubt it exists, currently. I mean think about it. There would more than likely be pictures of it if it did. And seeing as it's a 6 month old device already, I am guessing silver will be the only color we see, until there is a refresh of the HTC One.
So you have 3 options. Buy the silver and live with it. Wait and see if a black version comes for the current model, or a refreshed One, or get a different phone.
Kind of weird to only sell the silver, black is a very popular color for phones.
Verizon might opt to carry it sometime down the road.
There has also been talk of Verizon getting an exclusive blue model, just FYI.

Yeah i read that somewhere but it also said that could be a best buy exclusive. Which kinda makes since I guess. Just not for me i want black.
If you get one from sprint then use the supercid you can have the red on big red! Or the black of course...
Or do what I'm doing and grab a black case. There are also some skins for both the front and rear of the htc one that can change the way it looks

Just wondering if there are devices with a manufacturing date past October 2013 as the 2 I've bought (and returned) were both of the same date.
Now I don't mean this to be a another "defects thread"--and the 2 I've returned had defects, indeed (dead pixels, touch issues)--but I do want to know if anyone has had luck with newer ones, if there are any. I really need a tablet, but I just can't go with a non-Nexus one. GPE devices don't apply as I'm in Canada.
Anyone?

I've seen 3 from July, one had the touchscreen issues and had to be returned. The new one is also July, working fine. I don't think manufacturing date matters so much as blind luck. Really terrible QA.
How to know my device manufacture date?
