A leaked T-Mobile store planogram documents states that the HTC One will be launch on April 24th – five days after the device is scheduled to launch at AT&T and Sprint. The document states “Stores that will carry the HTC One” will have a demo and dummy unit for potential buyers to play with, but the language suggests that not all T-Mobile stores will have the HTC One in stock on April 24th.
T-Mobile has rolled out limited retail launches in the past with phones like the Samsung Galaxy S III, so we’re not surprised to see them do the same with the HTC One. Obviously, we’d like to see the HTC One shown off and sold in as many retail stores as possible, but the limited availability of the device is probably forcing T-Mobile and other retail partners to scale things down for launch.
Now that we have a new rumored date to circle for the T-Mobile HTC one launch, we’re hoping T-Mobile will come out and make it official.
Update: a second T-Mobile document has leaked, confirming the April 24th launch date which was revealed in the planogram file. At this point, we’re pretty confident that the T-mobile HTC One will be here on April 24th. Do you have your cashed saved up to pay full retail price for the HTC One or will you be purchasing the phone with T-mobile’s phone payment plan option?

Why the 24th? The other carriers are releasing it on the 19th. They have to be special and do it on the 24th? Because of the iphone. Not everyone wants that device or the Galaxy S 3or 4. Or the Note 2. Tmobile is backburnering this device. And its just wrong. So what if its not those other devices. They’re barely giving it a chance by priorirtizing their cash cows and not giving HTC One a chance to succeed.
I understand the frustration, but the launch date may have been pushed back on HTC’s request. Keep in mind that there is still a supply shortage for the HTC One.
