As usual, Verizon Wireless decided to take its sweet time announcing the availability of the HTC One, but it finally did via a tweet today! We can expect the device to hit some time later this summer!
It’s coming – the HTC One will be available on the #Verizon Wireless 4G LTE network later this summer #HTCOne @htcusa

Not only does this mean that Verizon will be carrying one of the hottest smartphone around this summer, but it’s also a huge win for HTC. The handset maker will soon have its flagship device on all four major US carriers, which has seemingly been a hard task for HTC. The lack of exclusivity with the HTC One will allow the handset to put up an even better fight with the likes of the Samsung Galaxy S 4, allowing the user to choose between the two, and let us tell you: that’s a tough decision.
This is also a win for HTC’s “One” branding, and we’re glad to see that Verizon (whether it wanted to or not) didn’t carve ‘Droid’ somewhere in the name.
Pricing and availability have yet to be announced, but we’re sure that we’ll be hearing more from both Verizon and HTC in the coming weeks!
Who is returning their recent-purchased Galaxy S 4 to wait for the HTC One?
