HTC's Android flagship sports a unibody aluminum chassis, a 4.7-inch, full HD display, a 4-megapixel camera with an "UltraPixel" image sensor, a 1.7GHz quad-core CPU and 2GB of RAM.

And if you trust this report from TmoNews, the One will also support Wi-Fi calling on T-Mobile's network.

Coupled with T-Mobile's recent dramatic change in strategy, in which the company got rid of cellphone contracts altogether, the HTC One could be an alluring proposition for many customers. And, if you're in the opposing camp, T-Mobile also recently started selling the iPhone 5 as well.

Funny or Die's Steve Jobs Biopic Releases April 15

Christine Erickson2013-04-02 15:07:00 UTC

Last month, Funny or Die announced that it would be making a film about the life of Steve Jobs called iSteve, poking fun at the number of biopics currently in the works.

The first trailer released on Tuesday, advertising an April 15 release. The 60 to 75-minute online film features comedian Justin Long (known for the "Get a Mac" commercials) as the late Apple co-founder who died in 2011.

There's not much to the trailer aside from a couple of Jobs' famous quotes and dramatic music, but we get a quick glimpse of Long in character at the end.

There are a number of films about Jobs in the works: jOBS, an independent film starring actor Ashton Kutcher as Jobs, reportedly has had its release date delayed; and Sony Pictures is producing another picture based on Walter Isaacson's authorized biography of Jobs.

HTC One to Launch on AT&T, Sprint April 19

Pete Pachal2013-04-02 16:57:47 UTC

AT&T and Sprint will both launch the HTC One on April 19, the carriers said in separate announcements. Preorders begin this week.

Sprint will begin taking preorders for the phone Friday, April 5, while AT&T will let its customers buy one a day early, on April 4. On both carriers, a 32GB HTC One costs $199.99 with a two-year contract.

T-Mobile will also be offering the HTC One contract-free, letting users either pay the full price of the phone or buy it through an equipment installment plan. T-Mobile hasn't set a date for release, although its sign-up page for the phone has an offer in place for customers who purchase by April 26.

Verizon hasn't been named as a carrier partner for the HTC One, but there are rumors it will be available on that network later this year.

The HTC One is the company's newest flagship Android phone. The device features an aluminum-unibody casing (see video below), a camera that captures images with larger pixels called "UltraPixels," and a BlinkFeed — a Flipboard-like experience that the phone boots into by default.

Check out our hands on with the HTC One, and watch for our review in the coming weeks.

Are you planning on getting an HTC One? Let us know why — or why you're skipping it — in the comments.
