So looks like it's finally official. HTC One coming to Verizon later this summer.

Who is going to make the jump?

I have been on the Incredible for just over 3 years now and ready to make the jump. It has been a great ride but this seems like the perfect time and phone to make the switch.

Anyone else?

I should be getting One (see what I did there?). Hopefully they don't disable HTCdev, which is doubtful they won't based on past devices. That, or S-OFF tricks will still work. And hopefully they'll get a Google edition.

But there's still time for the next Nexus to be announced. So I'll end up getting one of the two.

This is what I have been waiting on... a friend is supposedly going to hand me (yep.. free) his GS3.. which of course I'll root and put AOSP on... then I will purchase the One (off contract of course.. they are going to pry that unlimited data from my cold dead hands) once I see that the Verizon version has been rooted.. unlocked.. and has some good roms going on.

At which point I'll pass the GS3 onto someone who needs it (who has already claimed it.. before I even have it!)

Yea I hope this new version for Verizon gets rooted soon but that still not going to have me hold out at launch. BTW I am in the same boat as you, buying off contract so I can keep unlimited data.

Do you know where I will be able to purchase (when the time comes) the phone from? Just use Amazon or Best Buy? They will sell the phone on it's own right?

You should be able to buy it from anyone outright. Though you won't really get a deal from anyone that way.. so may as well do it from Verizon directly.

HTC One shipping August 22nd. FINALLY.

Going to wait like a week make sure others can unlock and get it rooted and will probably be making the switch.

I'm still looking at end of Sept. I waited this long.. and knowing new things are coming out (moto x, etc) at this point I want to see the competition.

I think the only other things to consider are the Samsung Galaxy Note 3 and the LG G2.

And Key Lime Pie (I know its a pipe dream to think it will be announced by end of Sept)...

Would love to know the optimal specs for it before investing in a phone. Especially one that is already 4-6 months old before Verizon even sold it.
