HTC U11 announcement date

[Howling Wolf]

Hi,

I don't know who to tell this, but the HTC U11 was officially unveiled on tuesday the 16th of May. HTC's invitation said on Twitter/Facebook/... "save the date 16.05.2017".
Don't know if I'm clear enough, but it'd be fair I guess to correct the U11 description ?

You must be American, and have never left the US.

That's May 16, 2017 written in "Rest of the World."

Facepalm.

Why are you facepalming? On the description on here for the HTC U11 it says... 'The HTC U11 was announced on May 15th of 2017. The 5.5" phone features a 1440 x 2560 display.' So the OP is correct to say that the date listed on here is incorrect.

I see your facepalm and raise you a double facepalm!!

Thank you, I'm not the only one who's troubled with the 05/15/2017 (15/05/2017 in France) date...

Sorry, the OP on this thread expressed confusion with 16.05.2017.

No mention was made of 15.05.2017.

Therefore, I assumed someone couldn't understand that 16.05.2017 == 5/16/2017

Desole!

What you assume may be right but everyone should know/ is aware that the date is written differently from one country to another.
But when I write 16.05.2017, how an English/American speaking person can't understand 05.16.2017: there are 12 months per year => day 16 / month 05 / year 2017

The HTC U11 was announced on May the 16th 2017, 08am in France

I still fail to understand what the issue is.

Now that Macron is inviting American tech workers to move to France, perhaps I can immigrate and we can discuss all things.

I would be so happy if I could live in Bordeaux, Savoie or Haute Savoie. La mieux vie (du vin et des montagnes).
