The leaks left me doubting if the device was good enough, but initial reviews suggest it might have got it right.
In the meantime TechRadar suggests VF are sitting on the fence about whether to stock it.
I'm sure a helpful VF member of staff will point us to the pointless "Coming Soon" page. Thanks for that.
Meantime here in the real world who would like VF to stock the HTC 10?
Is it incredible or even possible that VF are considering to NOT run with it?

It's the same reason that Blackerrys are no longer ranged and Windows Phone gets no attention - miniscule market share.

But as they not in any hurry to stock it (if ever) then I'm off to one of the others that do (EE, Three, O2 all are)
I've seen I can upgrade to it on Vodafone via car phone warehouse already, but I would rather go direct with the network I'm going to be using, so after 15 years on Vodafone I guess it time for some change.
Between me and my partner and 5 kids we have 7 phone contracts with Vodafone that I pay for, all of which run out in the next 5 weeks, so I will be swapping them all to whichever network I go with, which don't look like Vodafone anymore.

The HTCOneM8 is an amazing phone and those using it are very likely in the market for the HTC 10 right about now.
Whilst we wait for full reviews, early indications are the 10 is a worthy successor to the m8.
Don't have quite as many SIMs as @KingDeacon, but have a similar decision. Options appear to be jump ship (big £££ loss to VF) or buy unlocked handset on a credit card and go SIM only with VF (still a £££ loss to VF).

There are three advantages to being sim free:
1. The phone is free of Vodafone software
2. You can upgrade to a full contract after 3 months.
3. The phone's second hand value will be greater whenever you to come sell it.

I must say I'm surprised, but a lot will depend on how sales of HTCs have been going generally, and probably with the A9 specifically. I must say it's a shame as the HTCs I've had have been some of the best, and by quite a margin. But fashion and perception are strong, but fickle, drivers.
If you can make the upfront cost, SIM-free is definitely worth considering.

Hi
I totally appreciate your guys stance on this.
Just to say......
Please take into consideration that not every Network provides the same signal strengths and Data Speeds everywhere and in the same area. I assume to this point Vodafone have overall supplied a useable Service. Moving Networks may affect this this.
Check out other Networks signal / data speeds by using one of their Payg SIM cards before signing up. Unlock your phone to be able to use any networks SIM cards via Unlocking Form.
Current Phone >
Samsung Galaxy s²⁵ Ultra 512gb.
