I know that the intuitive thing would be that the dev addition would get more support, but is it possible that the AT&T or Sprint or T-Mobile will get more because more people will have it. And I know not cases, and they are the exact same body. I mean ROM support.

I think that the insides are exactly the same so they (dev and regular unlocked) should be able to run the same stuff. The only thing different is that the dev edition is supposed to have 64gbs and an unlocked bootloader. Big whooooooooop... that's so easy to do with HTCDev anyways...
My question is: is there honestly going to be a big difference btwn carrier based devices and the international? Shouldn't they be able to run the same exact ROMs and stuff?!?
Well with my current phone (att optimus g) you can't run the sprint ROMs on att, but then again the att version is slightly differently shaped. The reason why I can't run sprint ROMs is because of different partitions. I hope this doesn't occur with the one, because then the dev version may have less support that a regular one.

Another plus is no att bloat and the dev edition will receive updates quicker

Would it really be quicker? i mean once HTC releases an update for the dev phone wont it be the next base for our devs to use to create roms? We wouldn't be using it in its stock form anyway. Bloat isn't an issue once rooted. Are the specs any different from the International and ATT version? I'm hoping its identical.
Hopefully we can get supercid so we can install dev ruus if needed. I think there is gonna be a lot more dev interest in this one (pun intended) That means more brains for s-off. Hopefully the recent qualcom s-off for the ATT One X will help out.

Is there any difference between my buying a phone direct from Google (while I still can) and getting it sent to the UK and buying from someone in the UK?
Are the US & European handsets any different?

All Nexus One where bought from Google. The person you are buying it from bought it from Google.
But, presumably, the various network carriers may well have tweaked the rom. I guess that the only way to be sure of getting a pure vanilla phone is direct from Google? In which case time is running out...

i got mine from ebay. (uk) and its originally from america with a uk plug. No problems what so ever
Both versions of the Nexus are Vanilla UI. Unless the person you're buying it from rooted the phone and flashed a custom ROM. The question should be, is if both versions have GSM frequency band compatible with the network you're on right now.

If the Nexus you get from someone in the UK was bought from Vodafone, then it has a later Eclair build than the ones bought direct from Google, either EPF21b or EPF30 (EPF30 fixes the MMS resizing issue). Although it isn't Vodafone branded, it is different as it has some changes to make it more suitable on European networks I believe.
However, these phones will recieve their updates a bit later than ones bought direct from Google, as new builds need to be tested and approved by Vodafone before they allow Google to send them OTA (hence no Froyo OTA yet). Although, you can of course unlock the bootloader a flash a Stock US rom to get the latest updates or any rom you like.
Any word as to when the newest update for the camera improvements and what not is coming out for the AT&T or any of the rest of the U.S. HTC One devices? Thanks in advance!!

This is why I opted out of getting an AT&T branded one and went Unlocked from HTC. This way when HTC pushes it to US market I won't be waiting 2mo for AT&T to inject their adware.

I almost did the same thing as you (I previously used the international unlocked versions of the Galaxy s2 and s3 for this exact reason but I was bummed that I couldn't get LTE on the S3 since the unlocked version only supports HSPA+). However it turns out that you can just unlock the bootloader on the AT&T One and install ROMs from the regular/unlocked One forum, and you will still have working LTE on the proper AT&T bands. Frankly I am thrilled to finally have an AT&T LTE phone that can use ROMs with the most current code from the international community that is much greater in size and therefore will have a much better ROM choice; it's the best of both worlds. Two of the most popular ROMs (TrickDroid and ARHD which are based on 1.29 firmware) specifically say in their respective OP's that you can install their ROMs on all U.S. variants of the One (except for maybe the Sprint model according to mike1986). During the installation, there is a script (made by Patrics83) that will install the AT&T specific files, settings and such.

I hear ya, I had the AT&T S3 and the wait was gruelling. Since then I've gotten over having to have the latest updates. Might be because Sense5 isn't so bad. I didn't think I would miss LTE when I had my Nexus 4. Bonus of the unlocked One using AT&T LTE out of the box has been great
Hey guys - I currently own the One on AT&T and am loving it so far.
Are there any advantages to owning the AT&T version vs the USA unlocked version from HTC?
I'm thinking of returning the AT&T one and getting the unlocked version mainly so I can get HTC updates directly from HTC rather than waiting for AT&T to roll them out.
Both have LTE bands for AT&T, so that's not an issue.
Any reason why I should keep the AT&T one instead of the unlocked?
Thanks in advance.
The AT&T version has a fantastic logo on the back of the phone.

Also with the AT&T version you might have to wait an extra day to get a flashable ROM of the latest OTA

Since you can unlock the bootloader via htcdev and then load whatever rom you want it's probably not worth the hassle and restocking fee. Although I have the dev version it remains to be seen how htc will update this device or at what frequency. An update is already out for the international phones that has yet to make it to the dev. edition. I'm keeping mine stock for now, but may go the customer route at some point. Either version is a great phone.
If you would rather stay stock and still get the latest updates, get the unlocked or developer edition. If you don't mind unlocking your bootloader and flashing an RUU or custom ROM each time an update is released by HTC, stick with the AT&T version.

At least the unlocked and dev editions are already running a version of the 1.29 firmware though. The AT&T variant is still on 1.26, two major versions behind (1.26 -> 1.28 -> 1.29).

I've flashed 1.29 so could you please elaborate on what's considered "major" about 1.29 vs 1.26?

Camera is better. There are bluetooth fixes. Speakers can no longer go as loud (not all changes are necessarily positive depending on your point of view).
Search XDA. These changes have already been well discussed.

Strictly talking about the build number, 1.26 vs. 1.29 is major, whereas 1.29.xxx.3 vs. 1.29.xxx.13 is minor. Right now the AT&T version isn't far behind, but wait until something like 1.50 or whatever Android 4.2 corresponds with comes out and the AT&T version is left running 1.26 unless you unlock and ROM.

Thanks guys.
Are they updating the USA 32gb unlocked at the same frequency as the 64gb dev version? or will they update the 32gb the same time they update intl phones.
Also, if I flash new roms as they come out through the hacker channels, will I need to reinstall everything from scratch for each Rom upgrade?
Thanks again.

Also consider this, the developer edition comes with NO ATT BLOATWARE.
I have the 64 mb developer edition, just installed Visual Voice mail, LTE speeds are incredible,
and the IMEI was able to be used for the ATT network. This is as close to perfect
as you can get! Incredible piece of hardware.

Unless you're looking to get the phone subsidized, I see no reason to buy the AT&T model over the unlocked or developer one.
Only reason I can think of is dealing with AT&T for warranty issues is easier and faster than HTC.
I got the HTC unlocked 32GB version direct from HTC (arrived early...it was backordered and I paid for 2-day but HTC upgraded it to 1-day delivery. They shipped Saturday and I got it Monday).
What I noticed (coming from previous AT&T Note 2, S3 and Infuse) on AT&T...
1) no AT&T bloatware (as others have mentioned)...I was shocked how few apps were actually "running"...just a handful. I liked it.
2) tethering (no rooting required) for my occasional use of my iPad mini while on the road.
3) LTE is extremely fast compared to my Samsung's but not sure if that is a unlock versus AT&T issue?? Previously I just assumed LTE coverage was poor in my home. But with the HTC One it screams. Really surprised.
that's it.
So far I have avoided rooting since I want to become familiar with stock Sense, etc...then decide how much I want to play. I do expect to root eventually but stick to the popular stock-like roms (personally can't stand the CM's, etc.)
I haven't owned an HTC phone since the Evo and needless to say, quite a bit has changed. I'm hoping to turn my T-Mobile One into the Dev edition and I'm just wondering about the positives and negatives. I'm assuming all future updates on the Dev edition would come directly from HTC correct? Also, will my LTE or any other features be negatively affected if I make this change? Lastly, would the entire phone be wiped during this process?
Thanks for the assistance. I still gotta read up on this SuperCid stuff.

Trading my gs4 for a Verizon HTC one today. Based on what I am reading it looks like the Roms from the general HTC one Dev section work on the vzw phone as well. Is this really the case? Every phone I have had before this was a big no no to use other phone version Roms so I wanted someone with htc one experience to clarify for me. Thanks!

Actually, Verizon is not a GSM variant of the HTC One, so most ROMs in here won't work. I think you should check: http://forum.xda-developers.com/verizon-htc-one
If you do end up flashing a ROM from here make sure it says VERIZON compatible; most ROMs already state "except for Sprint", but that also means Verizon AFAIK.
