Hasta La Gadget!

Alongside its developer model, HTC now has an unlocked One for the rest of us. The fetching 4.7-inch 1080p device is in stock at HTC’s US store with 32GB of storage and the same powerhouse specs we saw earlier: 1.7Ghz quad-core CPU, 2GB of RAM, 4-megapixel “UltraPixel” cam and Android 4.1.2 with Sense 5. You’ll also get a SIM-unlocked model, but unlike the 64GB equipped, $650 developer edition, it won’t come with a liberated bootloader — though it’ll cost a touch less at $575. So, if you’ve been biding your time for a carrier-free version of the svelte aluminum-bodied handset, you can place your order at the source.’s

We’ve had a feeling the date was quickly and quietly approaching, but T-Mobile has finally handed out details on when (and where) the HTC One will be available. Beginning today, you’ll be able to head to the network’s site and order your very own, but the brick-and-mortar stores won’t be receiving them until April 24th — the same exact day T-Mobile launches the Samsung Galaxy S 4. As expected, the pricing of the device will be $100 with the UnCarrier’s installment plan and $580 at full retail. Behold T-Mobile’s statement on the exciting news after the break.

We’ve known for a while that April 19th is the big day for AT&T and Sprint versions of the HTC One, yet news of the T-Mobile version’s release has been thin. If TmoNews‘ copy of a staff memo is on target, though, the UnCarrier’s subscribers will only have to wait until April 24th to get their turn. The note tells workers that “select stores” will have the One that day — it doesn’t mention which stores those might be, but it’s safe to say this could mean a launch later than the one Best Buy claimed days ago. When we already know the $99 regular price, about all that’s seemingly left is for T-Mobile to give the final word.

As you may have heard, Facebook Home has finally made its way to a select number of devices from HTC and Samsung. While the initial rollout was a little shaky, we were able to grab the social network’s latest mobile triumph on every device that officially supports it. What you see above is the full spread of devices that are listed as candidates for the downloadable APK’s launch (the HTC First excepted, which we have unfortunately already shipped away): from left to right, you’ll see the Samsung Galaxy Note II, Galaxy S III, HTC One X+, One X and the One. For folks who already have access to it, the One isn’t officially supported yet, but it’s been announced and it should be coming soon.

We’ve already gone into painstaking detail of Facebook Home in our review of the HTC First, so we won’t dwell too much on the downloadable version. In short, as we expected, the interface seems quite a bit more quiet than our experience on the First simply because it doesn’t offer the same system-level integration; in other words, the devices shown in the above image are only able to display notifications related to Facebook services. You can still access your usual suite of alerts through the status bar at the top of the screen, but just make sure to go into Home settings to enable this functionality. Aside from the difference in notifications, the downloadable APK differs from the First’s pre-loaded version in that no Google search bar sits upon the top of Home’s app menu. Other than that, you’ll be hard-pressed to find any major variances in Cover Feed, chat heads or the app launcher. If you’re curious to see exactly what it looks like on a Samsung Galaxy S III, check out our gallery of screenshots below.

Note: To ensure that everything works the way it should on your phone, make sure the official Facebook and Messenger apps are installed and completely up-to-date.
