While most, if not all of us, were a little perturbed by the events that transpired with Apple and
HTC, it seems the conflict is being resolved quicker than any of had hoped. Having something stuck in customs can take weeks, months or even years sometimes before they get cleared. Seems an official statement from HTC lets us all know that some devices have been cleared and are already at they telecom partner locations. That is some great news. We know the HTC One X and HTC EVO 4G LTE were the devices in question. While HTC didn’t confirm which models or the number of devices that were let loose, it is a start.
Apparently custom’s agents have to review every single handset before it can be cleared. That seems like quite the undertaking and waste of resources to us. It also means that your new device has already been turned on and checked out by someone else. That is a little creepy.
“Each imported HTC model must be reviewed by Customs and will be released once Customs officials have completed the inspection. Some models have gone through inspection and been released to our carrier customers. We don’t have the status of each specific device model at this time, but we are working closely with Customs. We remain confident that this issue will be resolved soon.”

Time for an update. I am the proud father of three, 2, 8, and 11. I finally just moved up from the Samsung Vibrant to the Samsung Galaxy S III...... Let me tell you, it is mind blowing. I love Android, I love tech and I love my family. Not in that order though. I work to hard, play even harder and take care of all that are around me when I can.

Umm I read that as 1 of each model has to be tested not every single handset.
That could be the case. I’m not sure how all that customs stuff works. The statement makes me think each one has to be checked. If ‘some’ have cleared but only two models are being held then I would assume after checking one of each should mean all of them would be cleared already. Unless I am missing something.
