Already available in silver, red, and black, we’ve been hearing a blue version of the HTC One was in the works since @evleaks first leaked an image of device toward the beginning of August.
Since then, we’ve been on the look out for the variant, fully expecting to hear the device would be a carrier exclusive. Little did we know the device was actually a store exclusive, and that the metallic blue HTC One will be available only at Best Buy stores for Sprint, AT&T, and Verizon (sorry, T-Mo customers).
While officially available starting this Sunday, September 15th, the device has already arrived at some Best Buy locations across the country. Apparently Best Buy has an exclusive on the blue color til the end of the year, after which it’s possible we’ll see the device appear as an option via the usual channels. HTC promises some kind of promotion will also follow the new blue color option, but details haven’t been revealed just yet.
We have to ask: anyone planning on picking up the HTC One in CyanogenMod blue?
