In  that case, it's time to break out the raincoats: the HTC One is officially on sale at AT&T and Sprint  as of today. Both carriers and their resellers are offering the  aluminum wunderkind in its silver guise at $200 on contract for a 32GB  model, with AT&T still holding the US exclusive on a $300 64GB version.  Those jonesing for different hues or radios will have to wait a little  while longer, however. The T-Mobile edition won't officially land until the 24th,  and a black 32GB model is still "weeks" away from landing at AT&T  and Sprint. Provided you're not the exception to the rule, though,  you're cleared to buy what's arguably the first US-bound flagship of the  year.<br />  	   	  	 </div></div>

<div dir="rtl" style="text-align: right;" trbidi="on"><div class="copy post-body" dir="ltr" itemprop="text" style="text-align: left;"> <div class="image-container" style="text-align: center;"> <img alt="Verizon confirms 12month Device Payment Plan for phones is launching April 21st" data-src-height="340" data-src-width="620" src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadget.com/media/2013/04/samsung-galaxy-note-ii-verizon-back-1365892725.jpg" /></div>Look: we know many on Verizon aren't happy that the carrier has revealed plans to lengthen its upgrade intervals right as smartphone update season is hitting full stride.  However, there may be a consolation prize. As of April 21st, "some  devices" in its smartphone range, not just the existing tablets, will  qualify for a Device Payment Plan that spreads out the full costs over  the course of a year, letting those who crave the latest mobile hardware  (presumably, you) upgrade without either having to sign a contract or  pay everything up front. Sounds like a very UnCarrier  thing to do, doesn't it? Not quite, unfortunately. The carrier tells us  that these payments sit on top of existing service plans, not inside  them -- the base service rate won't go down in year two. T-Mobile will  remain the better bargain for anyone constantly replacing handsets,  then, but those on Verizon will at least have a degree of freedom.<br />           </div></div>

Withc the same 5-inch 1080p display, 13-megapixel  camera and Snapdragon S4 Pro of the omnibalanced Z model, the Xperia ZL  packs it into a smaller footprint and adds the courtesy of a physical  camera button. Sony's NFC skills remain onboard and that lead camera is  capable of HDR video capture, alongside recent improvements to the  Xperia range's automatic shooting mode. While its own retail site is  currently down (and there's no concrete date for when you'll get your  hands on the phone), Sony says that it will be available from other  online stores soon, pricing the Xperia ZL, contract- and carrier-less,  at a hefty $720 on HSPA, or $760 for the 4G variant. That pricier option  includes LTE Bands 2, 4 5, and 17, which means it should connect with  AT&T's 4G network -- with or without any carrier branding.</div><div class="pr_box open" dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;"> <div class="pr_box_button">Hide Press Release</div><div class="pr_text">  <div style="text-align: center;">   <strong>The Xperia™ ZL, the World's Most Compact Smartphone with a 5" Display, Comes to the US</strong></div>--5" Full HD Reality Display with the highest* phone-to-screen ratio, powered by Mobile BRAVIA® Engine 2<br />     --13MP camera with Exmor RS™ for Mobile image sensor for HDR photos and videos<br />     --Easy One-touch connections to wirelessly share music, photos, and videos across other NFC-enabled devices<br />     --Sony's media applications deliver rich user experiences and instant access to entertainment services<br />     <br />   ATLANTA, March 25, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Sony Mobile Communications  (USA), Inc.
