Wouldn't buy? Where is it even available? I am sorry but I don't see any seriousness on HTC's part here when it comes to the Indian customer. When pre sales is so poor than what about post sales ?

It was worth waiting but it won't remain worth waiting forever. I want to buy the black one but can you tell me if it will be available and when???

Today, I saw the ad boards of HTC One outside Bhajanlal Commercial in Calcutta but they're saying it'll come on 17th, it got postponed again from 15th to 17th =(
[One (M7) General] androidindian:
They always said 17th..it will come.. Wait
[One (M7) General] rkial:
The banners are up everywhere. I saw them in another store too..

Said 16th.. asked if it was confirmed this time.. he smiled and said yes, but the store might be closed..

Apparently they are planning on closing the stores for a week in mumbai to oppose the LBT.

Gave me his card.. said it would be 42-43k and be coming on 16th.

Even if its delayed a bit, the point is HTC finally got in touch with the shops and its coming very soon.
[One (M7) General] mathen:
the more we wait,i think the more will be the fun once we get it :D I usually change handsets atleast in 6 months. in bw its the first time I am eagerly waiting for any handset this long :good:
[One (M7) General] rkial:
Haha.. hope there are no build issues with the indian batches..

We probably wont even get a replacement for phones with gaps. :/
[One (M7) General] mathen:
Since we have waited this long we will not be getting first batch products,I think.:)

Now what I want to see is when will we get the new update fixing camera issues:confused:

The said 17th launch must be correct as the person who told me tomorrow ,is now not even picking up phone!

[One (M7) General] slim007:
Guys, I need some advice. I may have a friend going to the US for 4 days, from 20-24th this month. Now, the HTC unlocked device looks to be impossible to get, what else can I do? Can he go to an AT&T or T-Mobile store and buy an unlocked device? How? Can someone please shed some light, what's my best course of action? I know the device is nearly here, but I'd rather try to save 8-10k rupees than get a warranty.
[One (M7) General] androidindian:
Why go through all the hassle when is releasing this week..
[One (M7) General] slim007:
Like I said.. 10,000 bucks. I could get a 32GB phone for 32k, It'll probably cost me 42k here. I was hoping it won't be much of a hassle for him.
[One (M7) General] mathen:
If you plan to use it for longer time ,its better to go for India warranty:good:
[One (M7) General] slim007:
I'll have a custom rom on the phone within a couple of months at best. Only thing I need to worry about is any initial build defects. Afterwards, any warranty won't last long for me anyway.
[One (M7) General] ecksreturns:
As far as I understand(and believe), build problems were with the very initial batches, such as the early March builds. April and May builds are just fine. Many members here have got April/May phones from UK/USA and they are reporting that not one of em has any problem. So I guess we are safe there.
[One (M7) General] raghav2511:
I don't think ATT or TMO are offering unlocked devices. I think it'll be tight if you consider buying it from HTC (Letstalk.com). The stock condition is improving, but it'll be really risky. And I think you should open a new thread or ask in other forums where people are buying from ATT or TMO, people there will be in a better position to help you. You can even call TMO or ATT and clear your doubts, if any.

FYI - I'm doing the same thing. My friend's coming to India on 15th May and he's bringing a 32 GB Unlocked. I also prefer to save 8k, as I'll void the warranty as it is within a few months.
[One (M7) General] haran_rulez:
Developer edition

Yesterday evening I called up Letstalk.com and they confirmed that my order (placed on 7th May) could be delivered only on or after 31st May. When I asked them the reason for their website still shows as "In Stock", they just told me that they don't have any control over what HTC displays.. and the customer executive was so rude, she just told me "if there is anything else to talk, else thanks for calling".

I've finally decided to cancel the order I placed. Annoying is a small word to define my experience.... Such useless guys and a stupid process man..

For those who placed orders on or after 7th May for Developer edition, the same status is applicable.. So, take a call... :(

---------- Post added at 03:49 AM ---------- Previous post was at 03:46 AM ----------

Btw, Both 32GB and 64 GB Developer edition finally shows as "Backordered" in HTC Website

http://www3-shopamerica.htc.com/cell-phones/productdetail.htm?prId=41599
[One (M7) General] androidindian:
I would still spend a bit extra..go to a store here check the device and get it..

Plus warranty is always worth
[One (M7) General] Funkym0nkey:
The main issue is 64GB model man. IT wont be launched here immediately.

32G on a phone without SD card is too low for many people. Mainly with things like Zoe, you can fill up your internal memory very quickly. This phone has features where you would want as much memory as you can get.

And we all know how good the HTC warranty is going to be when most people on XDA will eventually end up unlocking the bootloader. I have seen them expressly deny free warranty service here at Mumbai service station for Relocked bootloader phones which were within warranty and had hardware defects. So warranty is more or less useless for people like us.

But at the moment even those who want to import are out of luck. No stock in US or UK online stores.

Frankly I would not suggest anyone to import 32GB version. Yes it costs 5-6k more but it will be available here (whenever that will be). As I said before, only 64GB Developer edition import makes sense. On that device you even keep US warranty even after messing with the phone.

32GB makes sense only if you have someone coming down from US and can save 8-10k as a result of no shipping and customs cost.
[One (M7) General] Sultan of Speed:
LOL! Get the chinese version. Not the chinese version per se, but made in Taiwan for China. Check this out:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d5dY1eZ7Ghg

They have a CDMA / GSM + GSM dual sim slots, plus a Micro SD slot + 32 GB version + all the premium feel of a HTC One.

I suppose this particular version would've been a hit here in India.
[One (M7) General] Funkym0nkey:
Nah, I already have my Dev edition. And frankly I wont buy that chinese version. I dont know how much development that device will receive. It is longer, wider, thicker and heavier (marginally though). Main issue will be development. We dont know if the ROMs made for international/US version will be compatible with this.

And I also dont know if this version would have been hit in India. When it comes to high end spectrum of mobile phones, Indian customers can be very picky. Remember how Samsung was forced to bring back the Exynos SGS2 in India as people started returning the non exynos version?

I dont think even marginally thicker, longer and wider phone in 42k price range will be tolerated here.
[One (M7) General] sanusweetsmile:
Anybody has any idea how the remote function of htc one works with airtel dth
[One (M7) General] Funkym0nkey:
It does not.

It might once it officially launches in India, but not now.

The only DTH that is known to work with the Sense TV remote is Tatasky. There too I had to select UK as my country and skyhd as my service provider. But as tata uses same set top boxes as sky uses in UK, it works.
[One (M7) General] yatindroid:
Last year I want to buy One S but after long waiting they give us S3 processor so I have to import from usa & this time also a long waiting so finally decided 64gb when my known goes there then I will buy but not from here

From HTC One S
[One (M7) General] vinaymieux:
Ok.. so after a lot of waiting and brain storming, i have decided that i kinda (like most others) will prefer the 64 gig version.

I need help and advice:

I have someone going to the US next week for a few days, who can just pick it up and bring it for me. Now my questions/ problems:

How can i order with an indian credit card? i dont have another option... well kinda!

i will have a hotel address to deliver it to... and i was thinking of using ip shield if the website doesnt like me ordering from india.

biggest problem i happen to learn recently reading above is that the HTC website doesnt have stock and isnt delivering instantly...

i am not clear how to go about with the whole process.... can some one help me out and guide me to alternates...!!
[One (M7) General] shree.cse:
It was impossible to order with Indian credit card, you need an us credit card with same shipping and billing address. And of course you have to order through US IP address.
[One (M7) General] amankapoor4:
Phone is already sold out in US, no idea when it will be back on sale.
[One (M7) General] raghav2511:
Indian Credit Cards aren't allowed; but you can search for alternatives on Google. On this very thread someone posted about using your card as a US one through some website, I don't know how well that works or even if it does.

I'll give my two cents regarding shipping. You can place the order on Letstalk.com (HTC Online store) and then when it is shipped and you have a tracking number, you can call UPS and sign up for My UPS ($5) and then you can change the delivery address or ask them to hold at location. I haven't tried this, but have heard that it works. You should call UPS to double check.

Stock is erratic. No one can help that, I'm afraid! You can always place your order and cancel it later if you feel it wont be delivered in time.

Good luck!
[One (M7) General] vinaymieux:
That sucks!

Thanks for all the info guys....

This is so frustrating... The one chance I had and I now it's not gonna work.

Why can't HTC just launch the developer edition in India. Or for that matter 32 also..... :P
[One (M7) General] shree.cse:
Can you explain about My UPS ($5) service?
[One (M7) General] ecksreturns:
If you are mentioning about the Dev edition from HTC online store, then it will be back by 31st May, as per their own website.

They would most likely launch it in 64gb sometime after the 32gb launch. 32gb is going to be launched first.
[One (M7) General] amankapoor4:
They keep missing the mark, people here itself are waiting to get the phone, when the phone showed In stock.

HTC has really screwed up this time, i am going to just skip one and S4.
[One (M7) General] ecksreturns:
Brother, I already own an S4 and I am WAITING to sell it and get the HTC One. That is how good the phone is. Please wait for it and get the One!
[One (M7) General] amankapoor4:
I am going to skip both the phones, not that S4 was even a contender, sad piece of plastic.

Nopes, not a dealer ....However I am part of telecom industry.

Anyways the news:

Shipments have landed in Delhi today, by this evening customs will be cleared .

HTC will be launching it pan India so availability date will be 18th of this month.

Only 32 Gig version will be made available for India ....NO 62 GIG VERSION COMING TO INDIA .

Price will be 42000 Rs

Hope it helped and keep up the good work guys...

( is there anybody from skyscrapercity here??? )

cheers

[One (M7) General] raunak.0731:
Hey guys, I just got off the phone with a HTC Dealer in Prashant Vihar, Delhi. Apparently they have started pre-booking (10k) and the launch is on the 18th. He also mentioned the limited stock issue.

Evidently, the guy above me seems to be true.
[One (M7) General] whosaysjohn:
Thanks for the info dude...any news whether black version will be launching or not?

by skyscrapercity do you mean GGN?
[One (M7) General] Indian Rockstars:

Also, One real cool news....Some limited editions might be launched as well with BEATS EARPHONES .....( still to be decided but yeah they are talking about it)

Oh !! Skyscrapercity is a forum just as XDA Developer is...

Hey guys..How do you add signature to your posts here...:confused::(
[One (M7) General] whosaysjohn:
when will the limited editions be launched...now or later?
[One (M7) General] Indian Rockstars:
Not now but yeah they are planning to launch that in a month or two...
[One (M7) General] whosaysjohn:
must be more costly than the original ONE, it usually is...so they arent going to lower the price to that of Galaxy S4 or below it? or it depends on the retailers?
[One (M7) General] Indian Rockstars:
No info on that( pricing for limited edition) yet my friend ..!!

It will be MOP so the prices will be same almost everywhere, again it depends on retailer how much margin he wants to pass on...

Cheers
[One (M7) General] hunkumar:
Thanks for the info friend and does this stocks of HTC one be in limited numbers for 18th and be more later?

Please reply so I can prebook now at one of retail stores:D
[One (M7) General] mohit_delhi:
I dont think dealers will pass any margins considering the interest this device has generated and how many times people have been calling dealers asking for launch date from last 1 month or so..They will make most of this opportunity and if stock is in limited supply, some dealers might want to charge even premium over & above MOP....

It will be available in numbers....looking t the demand HTC has already dispatched the next batch for India :fingers-crossed:

Yeah, Thats why MOP is what they quote, however one thing to be noticed is that same thing happened with Butterfly but it failed ...hpefully HTC One gets better response ...
