T-mobile no longer selling HTC 10 :(

[yogosans14]

I couldnt find it on there website yesterday which I found odd so I messaged them on twitter and they said they will no longer be carrying the HTC 10 at all and to buy it you have to go through HTCs website

Such a shame ugh i wanted it for the audio quality

Uh oh, that cannot be good. Unless 3 months is the typical length of time for a phone to be offered by T-Mobile?
T-mobile was the only carrier that was offering both colors, silver and gray (might have been an online only thing or offered only on HTC.com)

Why not buy it on HTC.com? You would have your choice of color. It comes with JBL noise cancelling headphones (limited offer) and a 100$ credit (limited offer)

Maybe there in lies the problem? Maybe T-mobile saw HTC.com as trying to undercut the carrier's sales by offering the better deal by including accessories and rebates?



I'm looking forward to October for the rumored HTC built Nexus device(s)

I have the s7 and htc10 on tmobile. I prefer the htc10.. it's a much quicker and responsive phone.

Sadness. I was planning on moving to the 10 later this year, and can't really buy it outright. I like HTC devices (it would be my 4th), so this is a major bummer.

T-Mobile is discontinuing their support for the HTC 10. I don't think any software updates will come if you have the T-Mobile variant, unfortunately. There's been a lot of rumor mill on Reddit and XDA about this, most of it pointing to low-sales numbers over all the variants of the S7 that Samsung launched at once.

In all honesty, if you can't afford the phone outright as it is right now, you just can't afford it yet. Save your pennies, buy it when you have enough scratch on hand.
I use the same thought process for my other hobbies. Be it my old '98 Z/28, or my 1/8th scale RC fleet. If I can't afford it all right now, I can't afford it yet. I don't like being pinged monthly for payments on things if I can avoid it.

For me and my budget, using TMo's no-interest payments works fine for me; a payment is already factored into my plan, and that's fine. I COULD buy it outright... I just don't want to. Also, unlocked Android phones don't always have the "call using wifi" feature, which I need because of the lousy signal at my house (for all providers, not just Tmo!)

I looked at Samsung phones today and still don't terribly like them. The only one I saw today I kinda liked was a Nexus 6p, but that would be unlocked rather than Tmo specific, and thus (as far as I know) not have the call over wifi built in.

Sigh.
