Verizon is rarely the first carrier to carry a flagship phone. When the HTC One was announced back in February, we learned that it was the first flagship phone from the manufacturer that would be carried across all major carriers –except Verizon. Verizon Wireless customers would have to resort to the HTC Droid DNA (which isn’t a bad phone at all). But many were feeling left out. There were rumors of HTC’s next phone on Verizon being called the HTC DNA +. Those rumors are finally put to rest now!
Verizon Announces HTC One is Coming!
Today Verizon Wireless announced through their twitter page (@VZWNews) that the popular HTC One would indeed be coming to carrier. There is no news of pricing and exact release date except that it’s later this summer. Needless to say that Verizon Wireless customers were ecstatic to hear the news. I personally hope it has red accents. That would be a cool look!
