Re: HTC One Indian buyers only

Manufactured and not imported?? I think its more about the selling point.. Agreed imported for 30k, +2% import tax, +6% excuse duty for selling here if I'm not wrong.. +profits for some price increase..

It took xda more than two month to unlock the verizon galaxy s3.. so having them bootlocked is not a nice option..

Went to eZone today and asked them about the HTC One.

they told me it would be available by mid-March and priced at ~40k.

The Butterfly was on display just behind us and I asked him if it would be cheaper than the 45k the Butterfly costs and he said yes.

Sounded fairly confident.. Also said it would be the 32gb version.

Then he also asked me for my number and said he'd contact me when they had the phone.. also asked me if I had a color preference.

When he opened the book, I saw there was another name/number with the 'HTC One - Silver' written next to it.

Usually they say they dont know or dont have any details.. So the fact that he gave me some information, took my number and sounded fairly confident was surprising.

Take it with a pinch of salt ... but sounds good so far.

After two years with the HTC Incredible S, the phone's USB port has broken for the second time, forcing a change decision. The contenders are:

1. HTC Butterfly. 2. Sony Xperia Z. 3. HTC One.

Discussions of Pros/Cons:

Screen size:

HTC B=SXZ>HTC 1.

Display (PPI, Brightness/contrast/technology):

HTC1>HTC B>SXZ.

Processors/RAM/GPU:

HTC 1>SXZ=HTC B.

Battery

: SXZ>1>B.

Build quality/aesthetics:

SXZ=1>B.

Root/boot loader unlockable/ CID Unlockable:

SXZ>>1&B. This aspect is most important for future usability once OEM discontinues support (ref HTC HD2).

Memory/storage:

SXZ (16+32/64)=B(16+32/64)>1(32/64, only 32 planned in India, as yet).

Price low to high, India only, sim-free, carrier-free:

SXZ(<40k)>B(43-45k)>1(>50k)..

After solving the matrix, I've come to the conclusion that I'll buy the SXZ. Your comments/advice?

Dead cookies leave no trails...

PS.The same question is also posed on the SXZ,HTC B AND HTC 1 Indian buyer forums.

Guys,

Am happy to say - I finally got my HTC One! This is the Dev Edition 64 GB. It feels simply great in your hands. S4 is NOWHERE near this.

I don't think I need to say anything more, as enough has already been said.

I am still searching for sore points on my Dev Edition....yet to find out....that is how great it is. :D
[One (M7) General] Cookie Ninja:
Is this your first phone? Other than the plug, which has US flat prongs, all phone chargers the world over have universal 110-220-250v 50/60Hz compatibility. Just get a flat-to-circular (US-Indian) adapter...plug sockets nowadays have multi plug capabilities nowadays....sheesh...kuch log bhi naa....

It is true that to unlock bootloader of HTC One like a pain in ass ;) and what about to revert back to lock it if want to claim warranty ?
[One (M7) General] Sedariya11:
You can unlock it thru their website but warranty gets void..
[One (M7) General] Sultan of Speed:
And also note that if you do re-lock the bootloader, the word "Unlocked" does not go away. Instead, the word "Relocked" appears!!!

Hi All,

Order has been placed and delivery would be by 6th in US and by 10th I'll have 6 HTC One handsets :)

Thanks
[One (M7) General] SecretPup:
I spent most of last night in unlocking the bootloader, rooting the device and installing a custom ROM. awesome One just got more awesome. i'm on trickdroid rom, tabldens kernel. device's response just got ever better and there is no lag at all. ohh and finally, the HTC logo inbetween softkeys now works as 'menu' button. i'll post screenshots if anyone asks for it :D
[One (M7) General] haxor:
Means its really hard to claim warranty if i will unlocked boot loader once :confused:
[One (M7) General] Sultan of Speed:
Yes...The probability of your warranty claim on repairs / replacements decreases once you've unlocked the bootloader. Note that I only said decreases....did not say it gets voided totally!!

Unconfirmed News:"A small quantity of HTC One devices expected to go on sale in the Indian market starting from 7th May, however it will not be before the end of month that the demand-supply ratio can be saturated"

Friends, I do not intend to create hype with this post. My friend who's in HTC India, marketing department tipped me on this. Personally, I mark these news as unreliable. But if anyone else has more information about this, please share.

How reliable is ishopinternational?
[One (M7) General] mohit_delhi:
It is reliable as I know people who have ordered nexus 4 without any issues, only thing is that their shipping takes about 15 days or so!
[One (M7) General] vari9:
15 days is a long time! I'd rather wait for the HTC one to release India

It's really sad that the company can't arrange stock of such a brilliant device
[One (M7) General] mahesh_9j:
4900/- is the duty
[One (M7) General] buBleZ:
Folks, don't buy at premium from eBay or other sources as it is going to be only a matter of few days before getting released here in India. So buy locally with warranty. If it has been a month before it makes sense.

Ps: I myself imported mine from handtec UK but don't recommend it now

[One (M7) General] mohit_delhi:
Fully agree here as we are talking about a device here which has quite a few build issues being reported worldwide, when I got my nexus 4 thru that route, I didn't have to worry for warranty at all coz of its reputation as a solid device!! But for htc one, it would be only wise to buy with warranty locally!

Just my 2 cents here...!!

Nothing happened it is working great :) but that is my personal opinion / advice at this point of time given build issues being reported by random few and given htcs past history

My Honest Opinion--

I am still amazed as to how much Lag is there in Samsung Galaxy S4,random stuttering and lag..yes i request you to actually go to Samsung cafe and at-least spend a good 15-20 minutes with S4, turn on the wifi and you will immediately understand what i am saying.

Further currently the advantages of big.LITTLE(Exynos 5 Octa i.e I9500 Indian version) are pretty much unused. :crying:This all makes me conclude as to how rushed and unprepared this phone has been.

So now the Question is if it's possible to fix in the near future so that maybe buying the Exynos will be beneficial if the devs take over. I wont bet on Samsung introducing mind-blowing improvements in that department in upcoming firmwares. They did nothing for S3 in that regard.

I am not taking side of any

"One"

brand or bashing the other but to me Galaxy S2 was their true flagship:cowboy:..S3 sold in millions but S4 is totally not there.

[One (M7) General] StolenSouls:
I totally agree with you! S2 was their true flagship. Also, we saw innovation in S3 in terms of design language and software, but from S4 they preferred tried and tested waters instead of innovation. IMO they failed to interpret, they thought that the design of S3 is why it is so successful. Oh but they were so wrong! In the haste of keeping the release date, they failed to keep their flagship.
[One (M7) General] Funkym0nkey:
I have always said this,

1. You do not base your judgement on demo piece at the public demo sets. Those phones are most of the times screwed to the limit where you dont know what half things are turned on or off. I went to samsung SGS4 launch store on launch day and the phone that was on demo had bloody power savings turned on. That was the reason it was stuttering every now and then.

2. Do what I do, shamelessly factory reset the demo phone. I always do that. :P

Then test it out.

And I got my S4 yesterday. My One Dev edition should be in my hands today from US. And just to let you know S4 flies. It absolutely flies. And I expected it to. I suggest you go to the same store and see the power settings, many people checking the phone tend to turn on the power saving using the drop down quick settings menu toggles. It is great thing to have on personal phone for quick change, but on demo piece, lot of people just toggle something and leave it like that.
[One (M7) General] sanusweetsmile:
Do post the pics of one dev edition and ur comparison review with s4 over here
[One (M7) General] ccpzcp:
only one thing to say s4 is freely avialable in india and htc one date is unknown so how htc can get their intial customers not all the people will wait for one due to unknown availiblity coz htc is not officialy saying any thing s4 has already unlocked bootloader but about one we dont know wether 64gb will come to india or not really htc is on the edge of drowning and still such a big mistake of unknown availiblity even though the device is solid

but imagine s4 is also not that bad . htc should think about it i even wrote this thing in mail to htc but they are not worried only same words we dont know when it will be available and about 64gb developer editon same thing we are sorry sir no information in this way htc will loose the battle with s4

[One (M7) General] rkial:
Butterfly is different. They only had 2k phones in india. It wasnt supposed to sell. just sent some over..

One will be cheaper than the Droid DNA.. doesnt mean DNA is better.

and I hope you guys are right.. I spoke to 4 dealers today and they didnt have a date

1) first guy said it was supposed to arrive today (yest evening).. but they hadnt got it yet. He called his distributor in front of me.. Talked about the One then asked what the going rate for the One X 32gb was.. then got a bit annoyed and said the One X+ 64gb is selling for that much.. what is he supposed to do with the 5-6 One Xs he still has.

Finally he put the phone down and said there has been a delay and it might be 2 more weeks.. check back around 15th.

2) next guy. said he had no idea.. said they knew about the phone and had an order for a certain number of devices placed.. but HTC didnt give an exact date.. and they'll be informed a day or two before they are being sent the stock. Nothing yet.. but could happen in 7-10 days. probably activity behind the scenes has increased but no date yet.. so that would explain the 7-10 days.

3) Mobilestore.. Nothing . no date. HTC dont communicate. Took my number and said would give me a call when they got confirmation about the phone..

Also said something interesting. Said that HTC couldnt get the phone out as early as they had wanted.. and now that the S4 was released in India where Samsung has a huge market, HTC are waiting for the initial hype to go down. 10-14 more days. but again.. nothing confirmed.

4) ezone: nothing. no idea if its a week or a month. The same guy who had told me after the launch that it would be available by mid-end march.. then pushed it back to 3rd week of Apr. He said he had no idea. HTC wont confirm anything

So.. it might be coming soon.. but no one I asked knew anything for certain.... also, All 4 asked me if I wanted to consider the S4.

Samsung probably treats them better and it shows.

I dont care how long it takes.. its either the HTC or nothing.
[One (M7) General] shree.cse:
No the price was different, it's MRP was 41990k but I bought my One X for 35k on the first day of release in India that's Apr 3 '12. And even after a month the price was still 33-34k.
[One (M7) General] StolenSouls:
:laugh: I agree with you! Samsung is on a rampage, all over the world!
