Here is the response that I got from HTC India a short while back... Expecting this early next week may be optimistic....

"

We certainly understand your concerns.

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. We thank you for all your patience, and hope that you will be among the first to get the HTC One when it is launched in India.

Once HTC One is released in India the information will be available on our website and our Facebook page. Click on the link for our website : http://www.htc.com/in/

[One (M7) General] Indian Rockstars:
Why are you guys getting worried about the release date....The product is on the way to stores in all major cities ...it will be available in next few hours....

It will be available in both BLACK and WHITE SILVER

Also, 64GB version of HTC One has been shelved permanently for India....

Hope it helps

Cheers
[One (M7) General] Bl3H:
Another day goes by and still it isn't available. I have been waiting for it for such a long time and everyday I feel horrible when my 4s drops 60% of my calls.

When is this torture going to end?:confused:
[One (M7) General] srahul0809:
HTC One BLACK available on saholic

Guys... Saholic has listed the black colour too!!!!! Delivery time is still the same.... :(
[One (M7) General] androidindian:
Guys it's going to be very limited quantities in the first batch. So speak to your respective stores and reserve the device

Available soon this week!

[One (M7) General] Bl3H:
I have a question.

Will it be available on EMI from the start or will that take time?
[One (M7) General] yatindroid:
AT&T or T-Mobile HTC One 64 GB which one is better for idea network band ?

From HTC One S
[One (M7) General] devesh1795:
I'm new to this discussion. Even i'm eagerly waiting for the ONE! But I heard about the manufacturing defects(light leak, dead pixels, gaps in const.) is the US.So i'm a bit worried about this because we don't have the privilege of changing pieces. You guys will still buy from the first batch?:(
[One (M7) General] mnshzz:
Edit - apart from developer edition which is 64gb and is un-branded...

64gb is only available with AT&T....T mobile has 32gig version only..

---------- Post added at 12:39 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:36 AM ----------

The issues are highly overblown.... A very small % of all devices have dead pixels.. Personally I am least bothered as I have had 3 different HTC phones and build quality has never been an issue...
[One (M7) General] htc_one_fan:
Don't think there would any scheme from HTC but you can always convert by paying thru Creditcard.
[One (M7) General] Indian Rockstars:
Guys just an ADVICE

If you get any HTC Phone and feel that there are some defects in it...for example if you say dead pixel or body construction issues with HTC One

you can DEMAND a DoA* ( Defect on Arrival) certificate from HTC Service centre within 14 days of purchase with no questions asked.

How does DoA works.

1. Once issued by HTC customer care or service centre people , one needs to go down to the store where he got it from along with the box and complete set of accessories and DoA certificate and hand it over to the store guy and take other SEALED UNIT of same product or any any other product of SAME VALUE

No one tells this thing...however, this is the policy ...so guys dont worry go for HTC one if any problem go for DoA certificate as per the service policies of HTC.

hope this helped....

cheers

[One (M7) General] Groovy Bohemian:
These defects were mostly found in devices from the initial batches. Newer batches don't seem to have any such issues plus people here who got it imported have reported no such issues. Go ahead and get it when it comes.

64 gb developer edition

hey guys

wanted to check if the developer edition works flawlessly with the Indian network bands. Are there any network drops for 2g and 3g services noticed? Im not worried about the warranty part but wanted to know if the network bands on the developer edition are compatible with India and how would system updates work? Would we receive system updates the time they are released for the US?

Thanks and regards
[One (M7) General] haran_rulez:
It works on 2G/3G without any issues. Per the feedback I received from HTC, we will receive system updates as they release without any hassles. As you might now, 4G will nor work. Else, it's a piece of art. I couldn't get it from US because of their delay.
[One (M7) General] Indian Rockstars:
Heylo people...

Guys 22nd is confirmed launch..

1 more Q

Why HTC One lagging in supply

Low production or high demand ?

Samsung doing so good they first make products then they launch it & have good repo

From HTC One S
[One (M7) General] Indian Rockstars:
Ok....there are few reasons for the delay in HTC One...

1. It takes 200 minutes to make one shell or body of HTC One and thats lots of time ....Now to counter this HTC has started double shift and have made arrangements to double the production which means in a month or two the production for same will be back to normal.

2. The demand for HTC One has been tremendous and thats a good thing , however , HTC did not forecast the demand and hence facing the problem ( HTC sure will be happy with this situation)

3. Blame it on US and Europe for the delay in India and some other asian countries . Again HTC One is sold out and out of stock in US which means the next consignment will be again diverted to US and parts of Europe .

Hope it helps..
[One (M7) General] Funkym0nkey:
Nothing to do with demand alone. That is to be expected.

Frankly HTC did not do their homework. When they were hell bent on making the phone the way they wanted to, they should have foreseen the issues they might run into and they had poor supply network.

Samsung has larger portion of supply chain in house. And their contracts with outside sources are also bulletproof. HTC or for that matter anyone on this planet cant compete with Samsung in this department at the moment. Fantastic vertical integration is paying off now. It did not happen overnight, it took years and decades of planning and execution.

HTC relies a lot on external suppliers for whom HTC is not the primary client. ANd hence the supply issues. If Qualcomm has X number of chips of snapdragon 600 to sell, and Samsung is buying a large quantity of those, they will be preferred in supply chain over HTC.

Not to mention they ran into legal issues which cut off their supply chain for unique microphone they used in their phone.

So it is combined effect of mismanagement, supply issues and HTC's fall over last 2 years combined responsible for this mess of a launch.

There is enough demand for One. And this is happening after a long time. But they have lost out on millions of sales due to delay.

For the sake of industry and for the sake of HTC themselves, I hope they make decent money this quarter.
[One (M7) General] sunny_sethi:
hi can you please tell me where are you getting it from so that i can also buy it?? i am also based in delhi!!
[One (M7) General] nvghorawat:
+1

me too....tired of waiting....which store?
[One (M7) General] rockyseenu:
Friends.. Need your inputs...

I am planning to jump ship from S3. I am aware that the device availability is in huge demand.

However.. in sammy world early buyers have to shell out lot of money and later there will be a rapid fall in price... I am planning to do advance booking in Univercell.. So please suggest whether it's a good idea? or is it wise to wait for few months and then go for the device..
[One (M7) General] haran_rulez:
Hey, there's a lot of news around "only limited stocks" available first and then there might be a delay for subsequent arrivals. We, in this thread are crazy about buying immediately than waiting for the prize drop. It's completely up to you to decide when you need the device. Most likely, price might drop after a month or two, but too early to determine.
[One (M7) General] rockyseenu:
Many thanks! I don't really mind about upto 2k fall... but when I got s3 in less than 3 months price dropped by 5k..that was something which I am trying to avoid... However I think due to the demand this device brings.. it would be better for me to get it when available I guess...

this would be my first HTC or in other words first non sammy device... really excited to get my hands on the device :):)
[One (M7) General] Groovy Bohemian:
Prices won't fall that easy for the One but it will at some point surely . It's better if you get it when it's available if you can. Btw same here; first HTC device =]

eBay or your friends in USA

From HTC One S
[One (M7) General] zyryn:
ebay sellers just looting public for the dev ed man..50 - 55k !! too expensive for me !!

unfortunately i dont have friends in the states....so guess the 32 gb is my only option....

:(
[One (M7) General] ralston:
Hey thanks for the reply, anyways i don't think the phone HTC is releasing in India supports the 4g network being used here.

[One (M7) General] yatindroid:
AT&T have 64 GB @ $650+ unlock code you can try them

You loose warranty so can unlock and root quickly as you want

Don't forget you are on XDA so you can update ota after changing cid

I'm also getting AT&T version but also trying for dev edition

[One (M7) General] htc_one_fan:
I agree.. there will be a big ad and promotions atleast one day before the launch.. unless they are expecting the stock to be so limited that they dont want to take that risk while promoting the device..

and where and how is the unlocking done ??
[One (M7) General] yatindroid:
Try eBay USA there is around $680-700 for AT&T locked and official AT&T site $650 locked

Unlock code easily available on eBay for $5-20 just put unlock code for unlocking

I prefer ishopinternational dotcom for eBay USA import

If anything else pm me

btw, this LBT thing will be an additional tax which we consumers will have to bear right ?

i hate octroi in the first place, which stops us mumbai ppl from great offers on eBay ! and now they replacing octroi with this LBT !:(

called Sangeetha Forum. they say by this weekend maybe. still not sure. I think I would rather buy it from Saholic.....
[One (M7) General] vineetchawla:
They are reliable. Have ordered 2-3 things and received them within a week always. I called them and they said if the order is placed today, you will get HTC one by 24th.

But I am still confused. I prefer to buy from croma because if the phone ever develops a problem, I can give it to them straight away instead of going to HTC service center. They take care of the rest.
[One (M7) General] androidindian:
stores in delhi saying 22nd day after for sure!

Imaging Quality of HTC One

Hi,

I am planning to buy the splendid looking HTC One, but wondering how good is the camera as compared to Samsung Galaxy S4 and iPhone 5.

I am a little skeptical considering the low megapixel count of 4 in HTC One. People who have already got the phone and also people who have researched on the imaging quality of "The One", please shed some light on the camera bit.

Thanks a ton!
[One (M7) General] vari9:
You sure? Called em up?

I really wanted the white one :(

spoke to my store, he has confirmed thrice with htc its on! book your devices at the stores near you :) this week it is for sure
[One (M7) General] achilles71753:
That depends on what your needs are. If u think of yourself as a professional photographer, then the One's camera might not suffice, but it's more that enough for Social media pics and night shots of low light scenarios. Colour representation if far more accurate than the Over-saturated AMOLED displays on Samsung.
[One (M7) General] Groovy Bohemian:
Friday, excellent! Fingers crossed.
[One (M7) General] Priyankac:
Thanks for the reply :)

Not a professional photographer, but I would like to take good quality images. Is there a significant difference between 8MP and 13MP smartphones cameras over HTC One?
[One (M7) General] haran_rulez:
Per various inputs, camera in iPhone5 and s4 are superior. Nevertheless, this is not bad at all. Then only problem is when you zoom (in pc) a pic taken during day time. Else, it's amazing. I would say htc is dare enough to attempt an innovation than just increasing pixel.
[One (M7) General] vari9:
There is!
