Verizon has yet to announce a release date for the HTC One, but it does appear as if they have just inched a bit closer to that point. A newly launched teaser page is showing the Verizon branded HTC One. While this page doesn’t include the release date or pricing details, it does show a nice image of what we can expect in terms of looks.
Simply put, the handset doesn’t look like it will be overloaded with Verizon and 4G LTE branding. Assuming this image remains accurate, the front of the handset will be clean and the only mention of Verizon and 4G LTE will be sitting on the back just above the Beats Audio logo. Otherwise, this page is your basic teaser page and offers nothing more than the promise of the handset coming “later this summer.”
The interesting part, Verizon has yet to link this one to the main page and instead it was discovered by the folks at GottaBeMobile through a simple search on the Verizon website. Looking back and we have seen a few dates rumored for the launch of the Verizon HTC One. Those dates have included August 15th and then later, August 29th.
But again, neither has been confirmed by Verizon or HTC. Those looking to the picture will notice the date on the handset is September 5th. We suppose that could be a potential release date, after all, it does fall within the “later this summer” timeframe. But then again, that date on the display of the phone idea hasn’t always lined up as well as one would hope.
All said and done, while the HTC One is a rather anticipated phone, it is just one of many that are heading to Verizon Wireless over the coming weeks. There is also the new DROID line including the Maxx, Ultra and Mini as well as the Moto X. We have already seen a release date for the new DROID line, however the Moto X is sitting in a similar position as the HTC One with no date and little more than a teaser page having been launched.

I talked with an online rep from Verizon and they told me the release date was August 20th which would coincide with the new Droid releases, except the Droid Mini which is available the 29th. You should try that and see if that was just one rep’s mistake or if that is officially what they’re telling people.
i just read the droids got pushed to Aug 27th earlier today.
I went to my local verizon store last nigth to ask if they knew any phones coming up and the sales guy gave me a release date for the htc one x as august 16th. Not sure where he’s getting the info from.
doesn’t sound like anyone knows at Verizon.. haha. and the other 2 comments are proof.
Verizon just released a sign up sheet for htc one on its website. I have a cousin who works for Verizon wireless and he told me they are looking for the 23rd or 29th of august. with all the releases they have they have been moving everything around. but neither of those is etched in stone either.
