I was hoping to pick up this phone in May but i'm one of those that would rather wait till the boot loader is unlocked first. I need to be able to tether and I want to UV for battery as well. hope they do it fast. I'm also open to buying the developer edition, the main reason i'd get the AT&T version over the developer is to get insurance on it..
Why not get Square Trade insurance. $125 up front and then a $99 deductible if you need to make a claim. Covers you for everything but losing it or having it stolen. You have to send it in if something happens, but if they can't fix it, they send you enough to buy a new one. It could be a problem if you didn't have a backup phone though.
EDIT: They also have a monthly option of $6.99/month.

check square trade on facebook. someone said they got a $25 discount from fb.
I have the device and was able to generate a unlock.bin file on the htc dev website to unlock the bootloader.

Yep, they also already released a OTA update for it, I'm not sure what was changed yet but hopefully the don't lock up the bootloader website once the phone officially launches. This one is my company phone, I have my own personal one coming on launch day and I will be heated if I cannot unlock the bootloader on it. lol

Are you just deliberately trying to pretend that this is possible? When HTC's negotiators go into the room with ATT, they have no choice. They need to get the device on the carrier, and they can't afford to sacrifice things like the name and the design, so they had to add a logo and lock the bootloader.
If HTC didn't take that deal, there would be no One on AT&T.
Not sure what the process is to unlock the phone once you have this bin file, but have you actually unlocked your phone with this unlock bin file?
Can you take a picture of HBOOT with your phone? I wanna see whether it says "UNLOCKED" or not.
Also, if you are really unlocked, can you flash International HTC One ROMS?
I'm not trying to flash any international roms to this device unless there is a RUU for AT&T available in case I need to go back because this phone isn't mine. When I get my 64GB preorder I will flash android revolution by mike the day I get it.

Root indeed... I have it
Don't mind the crappy pictures... used my iPhone 5 to take them.4
It will be rooted. How many flagship devices can you name that wasn't rooted ?
I've been on this forum since the G1 days and I've bought almost every flagship HTC device with a lock bootloader n devs here always manage to unlock them3
That's likely exactly the case. Samsung is doing amazingly well with their smartphones, and are by far the leading seller of Android phones, with the Galaxy S series in particular being wildly popular. So as you say, AT&T needs them more than vice versa.
Such is not the case with HTC, who has been really struggling financially for some time now. HTC needs to be able to sell their flagship on AT&T, or their chances of surviving (at least in the US market) are going to dwindle.
For all we know, AT&T even compensates HTC monetarily to keep the bootloader locked. Something HTC isn't in a financial position to refuse (and again, not the case for Samsung).
Its really a shame, as I think many of us can agree that HTC by far makes the better hardware, compared to Sammy's cheap looking/feeling plasticky devices. Really unfortunate that such a beautiful device may be marred with an unlockable bootloader.
