HTC One rolling out to UK next week, US by end of April

The One and only arriving shortly

It never hurts to repeat an important message, if only to make sure it's really been heard.

HTC did just that today, releasing a statement about its new flagship phone, the One, and it's-really-happening-don't-start-thinking-it-won't availability.

"HTC has seen unprecedented demand for and interest in the new HTC One, and the care taken to design and build it is evidenced in early reviews.

"The new HTC One will roll out in the U.K., Germany and Taiwan next week and across Europe, North America and most of Asia-Pacific before the end of April. We appreciate our customers' patience, and believe that once they have the phone in their hands they will agree that it has been worth the wait."

Release woes

The statement comes 10 days after news broke the One wouldn't release on March 15 in the U.K. as previously announced, prompting wonderment as to what was holding up the hotly in-demand phone.

HTC is still staying quiet on official reasoning for the slight delay, though reports have pointed to the ol' "parts are in short supply" excuse that can, from time to time, impede a device's release.

The parts in question looked to be related to the One's UltraPixel-packing camera, though again, this is unconfirmed by HTC.

HTC vowed to get the One out to pre-orderes by the end of the month, and start a roll out to more markets "as we approach April," so today's statement provides a little more concreteness to those claims.

Pending any more delays, folks waiting for their One and only shouldn't have to be patient much longer.
