HTC One delayed, now coming by late April

By Gadjo Cardenas Sevilla

I've received word from HTC Canada that the much awaited HTC One smartphones are going to be delayed in North America to around the end of April, a month after the flagship device was expected to come to market. Below is the statement shared by HTC.

Below is a statement from HTC regarding the availability of the HTC One.

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 UK, 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.

No reason has been given for the delay although some have speculated HTC's difficulty in procuring some of the components for the device. Will the delay dampen customer's desire for the HTC One now that various other flagship Android devices have been announced or does HTC need to do more to appease its customers?
