After stumbling upon some issues, HTC managed to roll out its latest One M9 handset in its home country, Taiwan, last week. But HTC fans around the world craving to get their hands on the company’s new phone don’t have much to wait either.

The company has announced today that it will start selling the One M9 directly from its official website starting March 27. The pre-sales will open at midnight, 12:01 ET, so keep your eyes open.

HTC is offering the phone outright with a $650 / €595 price tag, or if you prefer, you also have the option to finance the phone on an interest-free plan for 12 months.

The HTC One M9 also benefits from the new “Uh Oh” Protection plan which means that if you damage your device in the next 12 months, the company will be obliged to replace it, no questions asked.

If you fail to receive a replacement, HTC will give you a $100 / €78-off coupon to be used for the purchase of HTC’s upcoming M10 device.

As for carrier availability, the HTC One M9 is expected to hit T-Mobile, Sprint, AT&T and Verizon on the same day the Samsung Galaxy S6 will, meaning April 10.

Third-party retailers like Target, Amazon, Best Buy and Costco will also offer the new HTC flagship.
