AT&T, Sprint confirm April 19 release for HTC One

Update: As the One became available nationwide April 19, HTC sent out a press release detailing availability.

Though nothing has changed at either AT&T or Sprint, HTC said Best Buy, Radio Shack, Wal-mart, Target, Amazon.com, Costco, Car Toys, Sam's Club, HSN.com and its own website are all offering the phone.

For those who require more storage space on their Android smartphone, AT&T will have the upper hand as exclusive U.S. provider for a 64GB model priced at $299.99 with two-year agreement.

The big One

With a powerful 1.7GHz quad-core processor and zero-gap aluminum body housing a 4.7-inch 1080p HD display, the HTC One aims to throw down the gauntlet ahead of Samsung's latest arrival, which already has an April 16 preorder date with AT&T.

HTC One brings a new HTC Sense experience for Android smartphones, together with a host of innovative features such as the UltraPixel camera and HTC Sense TV.

While Sprint touts unlimited data as well as calling and texting for its HTC One, AT&T continues to point out that its 4G LTE network was recently ranked as the fastest from coast to coast.

For preorders starting this Thursday, April 4, AT&T will throw in a free HTC Media Link HD wireless HDMI adaptor (normally $90, until April 18, 2013); Sprint preorders will kick off a day later, on Friday, April 5.
