Android Gamer: New HTC One to go on sale immediately following launch event

The unveiling of the new HTC One will take place a week from today, but the latest bit of news about the still-unannounced device has revealed its launch date. According to a release from Carphone Warehouse, “the new HTC One (M8) handset will be available from selected stores from around 4pm on Tuesday 25th March – just minutes after it is officially announced.” It seems devices will be transported from the launch event in London to six Carphone Warehouse stores at which point they will go on sale to consumers.

The Carphone Warehouse price for the new HTC One is unknown at this point, but we’re sure interested customers will be able to get a pretty good deal once they pair the phone with a two-year service agreement. Launch details for the US and the rest of Europe are up in the air at this point, but everything we’ve seen so far indicates that consumers across the globe will be able to get their hands on the new HTC One in the second half of March.

Shortly after, the new HTC One (M8) handsets will be transported directly from the venue of the launch announcement to six Carphone Warehouse stores in London. Westfield Stratford, Westfield White City, Oxford Circus, Centrepoint and Tottenham Court Road stores will all be hosting special events celebrating the HTC launch with entertainment and giveaways as well as the first chance for customers to get their hands on the new device. Carphone Warehouse at Selfridges will also be stocking the handset from the same time.

A Carphone Warehouse spokesperson comments, “The HTC One is an award winning handset that set the bar for design during 2013 and made many sit up and take notice – the new HTC One M8 is likely to continue that trend and will cement HTC’s future as a heavy-hitting smartphone manufacturer.
