UK phone retailer Clove has gone public with sad news from HTC, claiming that the exciting new HTC One Android phone won’t launch until March 29th. The quad-core device was originally due to arrive here on March 15th. Here’s what Clove said of the delay:
The original launch date was due to be the 15th March. We have today been advised officially by HTC that the UK launch date has been put back to the 29th March.
We apologise for this delay, but you will appreciate that this is out of our control.
We’re unsure if this delay refers only to unlocked models distributed via the SIM-free retailers, or if it covers all of the major networks as well. If it’s the latter it’ll put a big dent in HTC’s 2013 ambitions, as getting it out well before Samsung’s Galaxy S4 arrives surely had to be the #1 priority.
Carphone Warehouse now also says March 29th, which will effect contract buyers and upgraders, while Three UK says…

A relatively high-spec smartphone, with a 4.5″ display running at 480 x 854 resolution and powered by a 1.2GHz dual-core processor, plus the Ascend G510 arrives running Android 4.1.1 — albeit potentially hindered by Huawei only sticking 512MB of RAM inside it..
The Panasonic Eluga marks the company’s return to the European mobile phone scene years after several years of absence, and it’s come back to us with a moderately high-spec Android model that features a rather stylish, slim case.
Sony returns with an all-new mobile design for 2012, pairing a dual-core processor with a 720p display. It’s a lovely phone, but is it enough to end our Samsung and HTC obsession?
LG’s updated Prada phone comes with an absolutely crazy black & white theme, but is it just for fashionable suit wearers who want to make themselves look a bit more interesting?
