I was all ready to pull the trigger on a preorder today, and was sitting on top of my machine like a buzzard over a dead deer, only to find that the only color option is silver. Any word on ETA for black?

Just tried to contact the 'chat' help on AT&T. They tell me they have no ETA on black, but that level of 'employee' probably wouldn't be in-the-know on such a thing. Any feedback is appreciated.
I received the same response from the chat rep. I even called and the rep stated the release of the black version is TBD. :crying:
I went ahead and ordered the silver. I have a TyTNII (Tilt) to return on the trade-in program that's worth $100, so I figure even if I get whacked with a $35 restocking fee to trade colors if they come out with black a month from now, I'm still ahead of the game.
Only the silver ones are available for pre order - apparently the black ones might not make it for launch according to our internal documents.
LOL! If you're at the store on Dunning Road, you guys sold me my Inspire. Small world.
So, you're saying that there won't be any black at all, or that they just won't be available for a while yet?
Probably wont be for a while.
Black will come at a later date most likely.

Why the delay? I know they're already out on the streed based on posted pictures. What gives?
Probably production setbacks for whatever they do to make the metallic black.
Silver is probably easier to manufacture.
Havnt seen a black review of the htc one yet lol

The black is an anodized finish so that takes some time, plus they might have to polish out some spots for a ground contact or something. It would take more time to produce but probably they thought very few people would want black.
I'm glad it worked out this way. I couldn't make up my mind which one to get so when I went to order it ATT made up my mind for me.

Well that makes one of us.I'll take no One before I'll take a silver One.
I'm really tired of this crap. Last time it took forever to find a white HTC One X, and now the black HTC One is going to take awhile for me to get. If I hadn't just broke the screen on my One X, I guess I could wait, but I really don't want a silver One.
I figure the phone is gonna be in an Otterbox or Seidio case totally covering it anyway, so I'm good to go with silver.

Yeah, I preorderd at a store today 40m miles from my town. Stupid AT&T is blocking people with business discounts from preordering online. I have an 8525 charged up and ready to send. Just waiting for the info to send it in lol. Easiest $100 I ever made !!
I ordered the Developer Edition and as you all know there is no color selection prompt. :crying:
However, when I review my order it says "customer contact for additional information required." I wonder if they'll give us the option in a week or two?

Actually, I managed to pre-order online with my business discount. Now I just have one on my service, not equipment purchases so maybe that's different from what you have. Still glad I managed it though!
As for "Silver" - It'll be in a case anyways so I suppose color doesn't matter much. For the record, I am bummed that the red One isn't available anywhere.
I wanted a black one at first but I just did not want to wait another month or whatever. The silver is not bad and it will going in a case so I can live with it. I hope it doesn't take HTC a month plus to get the black version out.
Its only silver. Check htcdevs twitter page

If you're talking about the special pre-order bonus thing, you may want to make sure that phone is covered before you get your hopes up. Looking at the photos of that thing make me think its probably too old to qualify.
