Verizon's HTCOne M9 pre-orders begin April 1st, available in-store April 10th

Verizon has just announced that pre-orders for the HTC One M9 will begin Wednesday, April 1st, and the device will be available in-store on Friday, April 10th. If you’d like to pick one up on a two-year contract, the device will be available for $199.99 in both Gold on Silver and Metal Gray 32GB variants. For those who’d like to take advantage of Verizon’s Edge program, the device will cost you $24.99 per month for 24 months. The carrier has also revealed that the One M9 Dot View case would be available on April 1st for $49.99 in Onyx Black and Candy Floss color options.

While the HTCOne M9 doesn’t differ from the M8 as much as some would have liked it to, it’s still one heck of a great smartphone. The One M9 sports a 5-inch full HD display, a quad-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 810 processor, 3GB of RAM, 32GB of on-board storage with microSD expansion up to 128GB. It has a non-removable 2840mAh battery, loud and clear front-facing BoomSound speakers and a beautiful all-metal construction. The 20MP rear-facing camera could definitely use some work, but if the camera quality on your smartphone isn’t important to you, we think you’ll like the M9 quite a bit.
