HTC is ready to take your money, or rather, it will be soon. Pre-orders for the One M9 will go live through HTC tonight at 12:01AM on March 27th. You can pick one up at various retailers and carriers when the device is officially launched on April 10th, as previously announced.

The unlocked One M9 will cost $649 direct from HTC. That includes its new Uh Oh Protection plan, which offers a single device replacement within the first 12 months. You can pay the full price up front or pay it off over 12 months with HTC's zero-interest financing. HTC will also have carrier-locked versions of the phone available on its website, though possibly not right away. The announcement isn't completely clear on that.

If you plan to get a device on contract or with a carrier payment plan, you may have to wait until April 10th when the M9 will be on all major US carriers and via Amazon, Best Buy, and others. There haven't been any carrier-specific pre-orders announced yet, but it sounds like the big four could be accepting them tomorrow as well. Full PR is below.
