I don't know if HTC Customer Rep is bluffing or most of you guys are being bluffed by your dealers. I sent an email to HTC asking three specific questions :

-When can we expect the launch of the HTC One in India ?

-Will the Developer Edition of the One be launched simultaneously?

-Will the One launch in Black and White colors or will they arrive separately ?

The following is their answer :

Dear *I have removed my name from here for privacy reasons*,

Thank you for contacting HTC support.

As per your email, we understand that you want to know about the launch date and color in which HTC One will be avialable and also you want to know whether the Developer Edition of HTC One will also be launched simultaneously.

We value the importance of your concern.

In response to your query we like to inform you that HTC One should be launch by 3rd or 4th week of May. We will be able to comment on color availability only after the handset is launched. HTC Developer Edition is not scheduled to be launched in India.

We value your time and patience.

If you have any further questions or comments, please feel free to email us or call us on 1800-266-3566, Mon to Sun - 9:00 am to 8:00 pm.

Thank you for choosing HTC. Have a nice day ahead.

So this means we will get the HTC One around 20th May or later. No Developer Edition hence no 64gb option, since that was reserved for developer edition only. I am jumping ship and order from USA now. Can't wait for HTC to get their act together.
[One (M7) General] androidindian:
When it comes we will know..no point in asking anyone now.. coz no one knows.. Haha including HTC themselves..
[One (M7) General] akhil8377:
If you can... wait for its launch

I can only say to all HTC fans in India, if you can WAIT.." do wait to see this phone in hand" before jumping guns and buying S4 or any other phone. All other brands will still be around, so a much more informative decision can be made after you hold HTC One in hand. I have been using this phone from 21st April (Purchased from PhonesForYou in UK) and it is the best phone I have ever used.
[One (M7) General] gowt126:
Hi guys I am planning to import htc one.. Could you guys please tell me which is the better option.. Importing from UK or USA.. If so why.. Your help on this is highly appreciated
[One (M7) General] shree.cse:
If you can get the developer edition from us, get it as it was the best deal, but. This requires some one's help who resides in US. Otherwise get it from UK.
[One (M7) General] gowt126:
Thank you.. I have my friend in UK.. Ll get it from him..
[One (M7) General] mathen:
whatever,I dont think htc will launch developer edition here.:(

Got my "One" today, Super excited

:victory:

I have just received my One today. I am in office right now hence cannot do much, waiting to get to home to play with it.

I have got the US unlocked 32 GB version from my friend in US.

Still need to get the Micro SIM card, Airtel says I can get that from nearest ARC, will try it today.
[One (M7) General] Mohit12:
Does the HTC One have international warranty? Suppose the 64 gig developer edition that I buy from the US gets spoiled, will I be able to repair it in India?
[One (M7) General] slim007:
Nope, no international warranty.

Email to HTC

As someone else provided details above, i also had sent an email to HTC and got this reply:

"We realize that a lot of our customers are eagerly awaiting the launch of the HTC One, and we would like to make it available as soon as possible. There has been a delay due to some unforeseen reason, but we hope to launch it by end of May. As the HTC One is not yet launched we will not be able to comment on the availability of the phone. "

I am an extremely happy user of a Galaxy S2 since 2 years and was desperately waiting for the S4; but after using it for 2-3 days (my sister bought one and i used it initially to decide my purchase); i was disappointed and now i am waiting for the ONE!

Don't know if it will launch on 8th or 15th or by "end of May" as the email suggests... The point is that I am waiting for it!
[One (M7) General] mohit_delhi:
you need to buy from ebay
[One (M7) General] slim007:
At this point, going to an Airtel store would be faster. I've already ordered my sim-cutter, when will I have my One? :rolleyes:
[One (M7) General] prasadKnew:
Good to know that people are choosing to wait for it, its worth the wait, just received mine and I am extremly happy :D
[One (M7) General] mnshzz:
Airtel is generally quick at giving a micro SIM,.... try any other Airtel location,no point buying cutter from eBay as it will take days.....
[One (M7) General] harshahv:
And even if you want to get your sim cut, its much easier to go to a mobile shop and get it done for 30-50 bucks rather than buy a cutter.
[One (M7) General] prasadKnew:

now 14th is the date which i am also hearing...damn sold all smartphones for the ONE and now I am stuck with a Nokia C5 to make calls...It feels like the time when i was without a phone...prehistoric...:mad:
[One (M7) General] rkial:
I dont understand why people sell their phones before getting the new one..

Get the new phone and then do whatever you want with your old one.

Surely if you have cash flow problems and cant arrange for ~30k (no second hand phone goes for more than that), you shouldnt be wasting 41k on a mobile.,

Unless all of you are students... which

a) makes me feel old despite being in my mid 20s, and

b) ask your parents for a temp loan.
[One (M7) General] Slim Shady:
Off topic :

is s-off there for htc one ???
[One (M7) General] androidindian:
agreed, the store i get my devices from (satnam in gk1) i sell my device to him and he adjusts the amount in the new device on the spot.. good prices too, haha!
[One (M7) General] whosaysjohn:
Not yet, and you dont need s-off as such for HTC ONE, dev-unlock would do...

---------- Post added at 12:27 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:21 PM ----------

even i used to do the same but i realised that the price gap in selling it directly to a customer and selling it the shop owner was big. so i started selling my phones directly for a better price...the gap would generally be in the range of 4-5k...

i dont think so its available in chandigarh.....
[One (M7) General] ecksreturns:
Guys, on second thought , it may not be such a bad thing to wait. Hear me out. If you browse around the threads here on xda about the HTC One, many phones are facing build quality issues. This made me change my mind about getting one from the US/UK as they would not be covered under warranty here and also we would not know about the batch dates.

With this delay, may be it is a blessing in disguise as we would get fresh batches straight from the factory with better quality control? I am hopeful about this.
[One (M7) General] mohit_delhi:
+1. I was also about to order from US/UK but decided not to considering the build issues there might be & no warranty to fall back on. better to wait than to regret later. When I ordered Nexus 4 from US, I didnt have to worry for lack of warranty, but cannot take chances with HTC :p
[One (M7) General] Funkym0nkey:
It is going to be end of May to be honest for stock to start trickling. I dont think we are going to see wide spread availability before this month. And this is optimistic date. I frankly think it will be 1st or 2nd week of june when you will be able to go out and buy this at most stores.

I am basing this on the past HTC launches. They are never available in stores straight away. Only few online stores get first bite at the launch and preorders. Then retail availability follows later. It was same with One X.
[One (M7) General] vari9:
Not same with my phone, htc Evo 3d, so you never know.... :Fingers crossed:
[One (M7) General] sam9s:
No issues with my One. And none that I see with the few owners that I have posted on this thread
[One (M7) General] ecksreturns:
Well I guess that this makes you not a part of the "most" cases I seem to encounter. I did say "most" and not "all". As someone just said, better to be on the safer side than risk investing 40k on an imported phone and then get into the hassle of returning the phones and getting reimbursed, if in the event the phone turns out to be suffering from build quality issue.
[One (M7) General] Funkym0nkey:
QC issue seems to be more prevalent in phones manufactured in 1st and 2nd week of April.

The P series onwards (SR NO) seems to be relatively defect free. So basically you can order dev edition as currently shipping stock is already from last week of April. And only Developer edition import makes sense to be honest as it is never going to be available here.

If you want 32GB better wait a bit as they are still shipping units from 2nd week of April in US. (Unless you really cant spend or want to spend 42k for 32GB version and are fine without warranty.

My both developer editions were made in last week of April.

Also you have to remember that only people having defect will report here in forums. Those with perfect units will be more busy using their phone and patrolling development section than come here and post "Hey I received perfect unit".
[One (M7) General] vari9:
I totally agree with you mate..
[One (M7) General] androidindian:
blown away by the list of phones you have! you need to record a timelapse.. a Day in life of funkeym0nkey .. would love to be inspired :D
[One (M7) General] ecksreturns:
I agree with your analysis. Are you thereby implying that any Dev Edition phone ordered from now onwards will be of the P series and hence relatively trouble free? Another related query is that how do we ensure that we get to choose the color of our Dev Ed Phone?
[One (M7) General] Funkym0nkey:
That is logical conclusion. There are at least 5 people in that Dev edition thread whose orders shipped around mine and all of us have phones that were made on 23rd april or later.

For warranty, I will try with htc India, if they didn't accepted it in warranty, I will pay its a small amount, else I will send it to US. I know these are all strings attached to my device. But I want a 64gigs model soon with a reasonable price. No other option for me.

so what i quoted is somewhat true...the price of butterfly has come down (atleast on Saholic)...the formal announcement will come with the availability of ONE, it will be lower than ONE as far as the information provided to me...
[One (M7) General] rkial:
About the pricing..

HTC One 32gb is for sale @ $575 in the US.

So 43k is pretty high.. even after considering the duties.

S4 is available for 39.5 everywhere.. even less at some stores.

HTC can, if they want to, get aggressive with their pricing. They have enough profit margins to play with.

Maybe not at launch.. probably sell at max price when there is the initial hype.. but the prices would go down and be in sync with the S4 pretty soon.
[One (M7) General] whosaysjohn:
lets hope so...
[One (M7) General] rajrana007:
They will defiantly price it low... thats the only trick they would have to catch up with S4 numbers.. I am expecting it to be priced around 40K if nothing lesser.
