I cannot see the difference between developer edition and the standard phone? Which one is better and what differs?

There's no difference except that the developer's edition has unlocked bootloader out of the box, that means you're ready to install modified versions of Android.

The developer edition comes with an unlocked bootloader, so it's easier to install alternative ROMs in your phone. The unlocked phone is just carrier unlocked, can be used with any SIM (it has the basebands of the AT&T; version), but you need to log on HTC website to unlock the bootloader (voiding warranty) and install alternative ROMs. If you don't know what unlocked bootloader is, you don't need the developer version.

With Dev E. you already have an unlocked boot loader, but of course you can do it by yourself with Standard E.

The Developer Edition comes with the bootloader unlocked. However it is still has S-On out of the box. They are essentially the same thing in every other respect. For some reason however, I couldn't activate my free 50Gb of Drive Storage and I suspect that the unlocked bootloader is the reason for it.All in all, if you are interesting in hacking the phone, like rooting and all, the developer edition might be better for you. However, If you intend to use it as a regular phone (no-rooting and what not), I'd suggest you get the regular one (internation version) instead

I wish I could be of help, taking into consideration that I have only used the developer edition and not the standard version, I cannot say which is better, but if your not into high tech app software development, I don't you will be needing the developer edition and I don't you would even notice the difference, hope this helps.Cheers.

Developers edition has Bootloader unlocked, also it will automatically determine what service providers and you don't need to configure apn for internet. When HTC release new update, they will release it first for developer edition.

You can sign up as a windows phone developer and or developer unlock the phone, then you get whatever the pre release OS version is at any time. Currently my Lumia 1020 is running 8.10.12397.895 and I've had 3 updates to windows phone 8.1 in the last few monthsthe developer page for sign up is here:https://dev.windowsphone.com/en-us/develop/devpreviewits very easy

I cant' really tell the difference. I think it has to do with the warrant. However, I can verify that the Developer Edition works fine in Europe-Greece with the exception of 4G in certain telcos.

Coming from someone who makes ROMs for these phones in his free time, there is quite literally no difference between the various versions of the HTC One. Most phones with international versions have specific antennae to cover as many countries as possible, but since the HTC One already has these by default it makes the various versions nothing more than a marketing ploy. AT&T, TMobile, Developer, and International versions are all the same in this case except for the logo printed on the back of the case. EDIT: No, it's not dual-sim

It's just a more comprehensive version. There are more features in the ex version. I was iffy too until I found out about the 3D poser and perspective features. They are worth the money for the upgrade alone.

Yeah its still Android. The only add ons are the tegra store and stylus software. Otherwise it's an unsullied Android that's fully upgradeable, so long as nvidia updates it, which they have.

come preloaded with the standard software. it operates by a Windows 8 which has a all an app interface like your Android phone. you will have to make a login username and password to use some of the functions like you would your cell phone. person personally I think it's a great computer! I really don't know what I would do without it. I'm looking forward to getting a touch screen monitor to use even more functions with it the good option if you thinking about buying one.

Yes. I spoke to three separate reps to confirm; the Developer Edition carries the same warranty (1-year) as the standard Moto X, even if you unlock the the bootloader.

Update to Jellybean...Who knows. Android is not consistent with updates. But who really cares. If you keep waiting for the next "big" update you'll never buy anything. It comes with 4.1 I believe and works just fine. The update itself if really simple. It just does it pretty much all by itself and is free. Nothing to worry about. Just use the tablet and enjoy.

You can sign up for an Android Developer's Account through Google for $25, then buy the T-Mobile version for the original $529. (So $554, far better than the $8-900 the sellers here want.) The AT&T version is MIA at the moment.

The Elite is considered version 2 (.v2) and it a different design from the basic. Take a lot and the images of both to see the changes.

This is the Developers Edition. It is SIM unlocked. It works everywhere as long as it supports your carrier frequency. No matter what country you use it.

Hello, I don't have access to the one sold by Google Play Store, but I think it's the same. The specs are definitely the same, performance good. Hope this helps.
