Guys, my order got pushed from 9th May to 15th May, 2013. I called up Letstalk.com and the customer executive confirmed to me that they are expecting to deliver only on 27th. This means, the data mentioned on the e-mail and the website is totally irrelevant.

I'm extremely disappointed.... :(

---------- Post added at 03:51 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:49 PM ----------

Guys,

I spoke to Letstalk.com customer executive. they confirmed that they will ship the phones only on 27th May. For those who have ordered in US, this will be a bad news for sure....

I guess even we in India will get the phones only during the last week of May.
[One (M7) General] sam9s:
Seeing all this I seriously say. Clove in this regard turned out to be pretty decent. They delivered the phone on the exact date they promised. Thank god I opted clove. Got the phone within 15 days from date of purchase
[One (M7) General] haran_rulez:
Lucky you. Even clove has mentioned about delay in shipping due to htc
[One (M7) General] haran_rulez:
It's pissing off. You can ask ur friend to call LetsTalk as well. We can give a try. Btw, you can cancel the order anytime and they won't charge your credit card for it.

32GB or the Developer edition???
[One (M7) General] androidindian:
If anyone else hears about 15th-17th confirmation from any store, please do let us know here..
[One (M7) General] taha198:
This is first time with me that official CM nightlies started and I don't have a phone in my hand. Frustating:banghead:
[One (M7) General] haran_rulez:
Developer edition.... I guess 32Gb has more issues
[One (M7) General] vineetchawla:
confirmation from spice croma and ezone

I asked croma and spice. Both have mentioned 16 as the final date. And ezone says last week of may. All these stores I talked to are in Bangalore
[One (M7) General] Funkym0nkey:
I wont get my hopes up only to be disappointed. At this point my advice is, it will come when it come. Either wait or you have another good option in waiting available in stores right now.

I was told yesterday that my Developer Edition order from US which I finally managed to sort out after talking on phone with them day before is now a pre order and will not ship before end of may as they have ran out of stock. HTC has ran out of stock even in UK.

Only carrier stores have limited stock in US. I guess this new injunction against sales of HD microphones has finally hit us with this new stock shortage and is likely to cause more delays. I dont know if HTC will put India launch as priority at this stage when stock and supply is this poor worldwide.

My frustrated friend for whom I was ordering this time around is going to buy S4 now, and I dont blame him. I cancelled my US order as there is no point waiting till end of May.

I am glad that I got my One, but this has been a big fiasco by HTC. Bigger than Desire HD fiasco.
[One (M7) General] Sultan of Speed:
Okay! So, here's the first blow. I read somewhere that the Developer Edition of HTC One (64 GB) is NOT going to receive OTA updates.

Don't know how far this is true. :(

Does anyone know?
[One (M7) General] rkial:
Its not just HTC that have had problems with shortages. Didnt Nexus 4 and nexus 7 have the same issues?

Samsung are one of a kind.. using plastic does help in that regard too.

Its easier to mass produce and assemble.

also, the global release Samsung does is impressive. No one else does it like them...

I have no problem waiting. I got my home button on my iphone fixed and replaced the old scratched screen protector with a shiny new one.. I can use it for a few more weeks happily.

No compromises for my first Android smartphone.

Heart is set on the One.. the One it will be.
[One (M7) General] androidindian:
i agree bro! i think its just the amazing amazing reviews we are reading which makes us excited to get the device

also, i tried the device last week in thailand and omg! i cant express how amazing the one is..

but soon it will be here :D so lets be excited haha
[One (M7) General] uneek-n1:
If anyone it has to be you Androidindian who should get the first "one". You are the most eager of the whole lot of us . Enjoy when it comes
[One (M7) General] Sultan of Speed:
Not only eager, but patient also. :good:
[One (M7) General] yatindroid:
Please take a look of manufacturing of HTC One in videos on YouTubehttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AGfULb1ZKBo

How a great products took time to built so shortage surely gonna be and worth of that

I love making of back penel and it take a lot of time

But message for HTC please increase production units if they wanna win this time and satisfy their customers

[One (M7) General] Saket_k:
Hi Sultan

I am quoting words taken from the forum post

" I got my One yesterday, turns out it is an S-Off developer handset. The 1.28 update greeted me soon after first boot, and a couple of hours later the 1.29 update decided to show up too. Excellent! "

Link : http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2243645&page=35

This guy even posted his S-off pic : https://twitter.com/NZtechfreak/status/328759514054664192/photo/1

So i assume S-Off handset can recieve OTA updates.

I will update you if i find some more info

The official word is still "no confirmed date" and "last week of May" if anyone cares.

Can't blame them. Officially, they just can't do it. Leaks is the only way.
[One (M7) General] Sultan of Speed:
Yes. I actually read that forum on No OTA updates for Dev and that is what prompted me to raise this question. Cause I have even heard the opposite is true. That the DEV also, like the rest of One's, will receive OTA.

From HTC One S
[One (M7) General] Funkym0nkey:
They wont import anything any more from shopamerica website.

Letstalk aka shopamerica have added a carrier credit terms and conditions agreement page as shown below.

THe ishopinternational will take order and will call you that they cannot order from this website anymore as their US office will not sign such terms and conditions agreement about carrier credit with any website and they will cancel your order.

Sadly this agreement is shown even for developer edition and all other unlocked phones by letstalk. Such a poorly designed website. They just care about covering their @$$ and not actually provide better experience to the buyer. (talking about letstalk/shopamerica )

Been there done that :silly:

[One (M7) General] taha198:
CDMA has different partition for radio. Also no gsm ROM ROM will work on CDMA. Though there are custom ROMs for CDMA. See sprint section.
[One (M7) General] slim007:
Sprint phones are primarily CDMA, but world phones i.e. they have GSM sim card slots too. If they're unlocked, which these are, you shouldn't have a problem using them here. As for development, Sprint HTC One has it's own forum with it's own development thread, which by the look of it, seems okay.

I've considered this one too, but having waited this long, I think it makes sense to just wait for a few more days and get the Indian version. If you're looking for one desperately on an immediate basis, theoretically there's nothing wrong with buying the above listing, except a a bit less of ROM development.

Edit: Wait, the guy's changed his listing, I hadn't checked. I specifically asked him if it's ready for GSM, he said yes, but he's changed his post now. Sorry!

My own experience has been that if you go to the third party authorised (Redington) locations for support, you will come out disappointed very badly.... Customer service is next to nothing at those locations.. Whereas if you go to actual HTC location you get better service and very prompt response..... My one X lcd cracked.... and Redington centre in Gurgaon quoted 3 weeks and 20k, the HTC center in lajpat nagged replaced in 3 days at a cost of less that 7k..... If you need HTC support then go to their own service centre..... For folks in NCR the Lajpat Nagar support centre is the best option....

So you won't buy the device which is proved to be the best of all ? And you just need the device as soon they launched ?

So you can simply wait for few more devices coming out and keep changing all as soon the next one get released.

HTC one is for the people who deserved it and worth of waiting of all.
