Firstly I would like to apologize for such a long post..but since this is my first post on this forum..I wanted it to be in detail..and I hope I didn't break any rule by posting this here..please read the last paragraph only for the short version.. :)

Hello everyone..I'm new to this forum..but I have been following this thread for the past month..thanks everyone for your valuable help..

I had Galaxy S2 before..had planned to buy Galaxy S3 last year..but the 39k launch price stopped me from buying it..so this year I was very clear that S4 would be my next phone..

Luckily last month someone mentioned about HTC One..so I read hundreds of reviews, comparison posts..saw multiple videos on YouTube..and finally decided to buy HTC one..

The few points that were against HTC One were..Build issue..Old Android version..Daylight camera quality..nd Smaller screen..

On 23rd June I went to a mall in Vasant Kunj to get this phone..the price was 41k (Reliance Digital)..nd if you were paying the full amount..then you would get a gift pack from reliance worth Rs. 3000 for Rs. 99 only..

Before I paid him the money..I had very clearly mentioned it to the salesperson that in case there were gaps in the phone I wouldn't buy it..he said that sir we have sold hundreds of phone and we never faced such an issue..and in case there is a gap..then you don't buy it from us..I then asked him to confirm this with his manager..

He also agreed but with a condition..that I will have to buy it before I can check it..so I paid the full cash..and the second issue was that there was only a single black model available..so if there was any problem with that set..I would have to wait or take the silver one..

I said yes for both the conditions..and after that he opened the first box..the gaps on that model were quite clear..so I said no.. the manager came up and said that sir this much gap should be acceptable..since all the phone were like this only..I then showed him the phone that was kept on the display..it wasn't perfect..but only had a small gap on top left corner..

He then went and confirmed it with the senior manager..and I was told to either wait for 2-3 days for the next stock..or buy a silver version..I decided to wait..

I went there after 2 days with a friend..but the black one wasn't available that day also..plus I checked it from multiple stores in Delhi..black wasn't available anywhere.. and thanks to this thread I knew prices for HTC One were gonna increase..so decided to get a silver version only.

My friend kept saying that you they should refund the money..or get a black model for us..so that guy called his senior manager..the manager asked me why I was against the silver model..and I told him that the gap on the silver one would be quite visible as compared to the black one..so he promised me that I would get a phone with zero gap only..he then asked his junior to show me multiple phones..

In total that guy opened 8 boxes after which I got the PERFECT PHONE..with ABSOLUTELY ZERO GAP!! So the wait was totally worth it.

And then I called the manager again and told him since I had to buy a silver version..I will need a case also for the phone ..and they should give me some discount..got 25% discount after that..

In short..for 41.5k..I got a perfect HTC One Silver phone..with a case..screen guard..Bluetooth headset..car charger..and portable charger..

So thank you everyone..each one of you helped me a lot..and I hope my experience helps other members who haven't bought this beauty yet!!!!
