Well, here's an additional update (courtesy of AC) and the supposed reason why there is a delay with the unlocked 32GB and 64GB Dev editions:
Call me skeptical but why would the security issues surrounding the terrible incident in Boston and flooding in the midwest affect these shipments but all the carriers are getting theirs on schedule?

If you're curious, I bought this case off Etsy for my One. There are many other nice options on the site.

If that's truly the case, then that'se excusable, for sure.
Yeah its durable, but i can't call anything with a charging port that breaks so easily "good build quality"
Most people mistake build quality with build materials anyway.
Yeah, common misconception.
People said the one was better build quality than the galaxy s 4 buy never had it.
Wtf?
Same rules apply to the iPhone 5, I hope? Plenty of stories of dents, bends, and especially scuffing.
It's clear the carriers got priority. There's no indication of delays with the carrier versions.
If HTC can't keep their own house in order, what faith can be restored? :T

The dev edition handsets may be shipping from different warehouses / distribution centre than the carrier handsets which probably went through a different channel.
I emailed HTC asking for some sort of compensation for this delay as it causes considerable inconvenience for me.
Maybe a free double dip case which wasn't offered to me.

I know I have given you some major crap over the last couple of days, and some of it was not warranted. Could you please give use a better review of the HTC One than some of these iOS user that never wanted to like the phone. I was in the wrong for a lot of what I said before. I still stand by the nexus 4 being a really good phone, but that is over.
Woohoo I got a free case added to my order to make up for the delay.
Dojo, I def. recommend emailing or calling to get that free overnight. It might have even changed to that automatically.

You can count on it.

BTW my order now says estimated availability "Unknown."
That is not reassuring.

I forgot to say is the following:
Please use the phone for more than a few hours. I see that some people are returning the phone after they have used it a few hours. If it were me I would return on the 10th day or so. Do not wait till last-minute either...
Do a google voice search and hit the menu button and settings, enable google now.

Probably because they are ammending your order so delivery time is not refreshed.

What am I swiss cheese ? All the stuff I've posted and photos I've done for you all counts for nothing
Wow fast!!
I could show you the speeds you get in Ireland but its be quicker to fly to USA, drive to Dallas in the time it takes to run speedtest.net

Alright let me try it. I got email about delay saying free overnight but I still don't see that on the invoice.
It seems so. Lol!
I have to say that I found that post a little insensitive. Hopefully, any longstanding member of MacRumors is sincere and truthful in the expression of their opinions.
Are you able to put setting toggles in the pull down notification area? I'm not sure it's Sense skin but I thought JB has setting toggles? I was able to put is as widgets but not in pull down.
I think that feature was introduced in 4.2 upwards, so you'll get that when HTC updates.
I actually use an app called settings extended that put the toggle widgets into the notification area.
But yeah pull down expanded info stuff I believe requires 4.2+
That 101 ms latency is less than impressive though. Nothing to be excited about.

FWIW, mine also says Unknown. Not reassuring but probably the most truthful update. And I'm not going to bother calling as I prefer to use my phones naked and already have overnight shipping.
Really had to fight the urge to call LetsTalk and cancel and pick one up at my local AT&T. Real progress for me to not forgo the advantages that come with a bit of patience (i.e. no AT&T bloat, no reliance on carrier for updates) just to have the shiny new toy today.
