HTC is so eager to sell more units of its One that it's practically giving phones away. The Taiwanese manufacturer is now offering a 32GB One for $0 down, with monthly payments in increments as low as $25 during the course of two years. The unlocked handset runs on the newest flavor of Google's mobile OS -- Android 4.4 KitKat, as PhoneScoop reports. The contract-free HTC One is compatible with both AT&T and T-Mobile's networks and is only available for what HTC refers to as well-qualified applicants. According to the company's website, this means you'll have to have decent credit history to be eligible for the deal.
