HTC One owners on T-Mobile's network can now expect Android 4.3 Jelly Bean any day now. The update has officially been certified, meaning its rollout is imminent.
The status update comes to us, once again, through HTC America's president Jason Mackenzie, who has recently taken it upon himself to keep legions of HTC One owners happy.
Tmo us htc one users. Good news. We received certification today on 4.3. You will find update on your phones within next few days.

The tweet is dated Oct. 15, and while there's still no sign of the update come Oct. 17, there's a more-than-likely chance that it will release before the week is over on Oct. 19.
T-Mobile will become the third of the largest four U.S. wireless carriers when it does release Android 4.3 for the HTC One. Sprint and AT&T have already pushed out their HTC One Android 4.3 updates, and Verizon is scheduled to do so before October ends. Despite the fact that all four were originally supposed to release the firmware at the end of September (naturally, bloated carrier approval process prevented this), HTC Ones in America are receiving Android 4.3 before most international models in a rare turn.
The reason for this is because the American HTC One Android 4.3 updates do not contain Sense 5.5. The latest version of HTC's user interface will instead be packaged with Android 4.3 for international models, and released at a later date, sometime in November. U.S. HTC One owners will simply have to wait for Sense 5.5 to arrive in a separate download.
