Sprint HTC One will launch on April 19, T-Mobile’s version to come with Free Car Kit

Sprint is on the way of AT&T to Sell HTC One

AT&T is not the only US mobile carrier to announce the launch date of the HTC One. Rival network Sprint, also, has done it and it turns out it's going to start selling the new handset the same day as AT&T, i.e., April 19. But Sprint will take pre-orders a day later than AT&T, namely on April 5.

Sprint HTC One pricing

Sprint's HTC One will cost $199.99 on contract combined with a $50 Google Play credit and a $10 coupon. RadioShack has always offered incredible deals on Sprint phones, so it's hard to say if the listed price and Google Play credit will also be available directly from Sprint. The third largest North American operator will only offer the 32 GB version of the device (in either silver, or black). You can pre-register for the Sprint HTC One here.

AT&T HTC One Pricing and Pre-order Dates

AT&T will start taking online pre-orders for the HTC One starting on April 4th with in-store pre-orders starting on April 5th. The device will be available in stores on April 19th. AT&T will be pricing the 32GB HTC One at $199.99 while the 64GB model will go for $299.99 with a two year contract. In a new HTC One feature highlight video, AT&T is also claiming that the 64GB model will only be available to their customers. We're hoping that this is simply a timed exclusive, but T-Mobile customers will still have the option to pick up the 64GB HTC One Developer Edition in the near future.

Free HTC One Car Kit from T-Mobile

T-Mobile will also offer the HTC One but it's not clear yet when exactly. Customers willing brave the waters with T-Mobile's new no-contract service plans and purchase the HTC One will be rewarded with a free HTC One car kit, an accessory which sells for $60. T-Mobile will have a limited number of HTC One car kits available for customers who purchase the phone though their website. No details are given regarding how many car kits T-Mobile will be giving away, but we'll be queued up to buy the T-Mobile HTC One as soon as it's available. T-Mobile announced last week that it will charge customers a $99 down payment on the HTC One with an additional 24 payments of $20, bringing the total price of the device to $579. As you probably already know, the One is HTC's flagship smartphone for 2013.
