I suppose it is the law of nature, right? We simply, always, have to be unlucky, isn't it? Just when I thought I'd import one, our lungi-wala increases the rates to 7%.

I guess, that works out to about INR 2500 odd. So, it should cost about 34421.10 (phone) + 1966.92 (shipping) + 2547.1614 (7% of 34K + 1.9K) = 38935.1814 INR.

Not sure at what rate it's going to launch in India. I heard somewhere that it might be between 40 to 45K. But also read (on facebook - HTC India's marketing top guy) saying that they want to price it as low as possible for indian markets.
[One (M7) General] buBleZ:
Also keep a buffer of extra 1K for customs as it often isn't exactly how it theoretically calculates to and another 1.5K for foreign exchange service charge by the bank
[One (M7) General] sandman9:
lol at all those who ordered from infibeam including me.

already ordered so dont care (or rather no use worrying as there doesnt seem to be any other option) for price cuts but sure do hope they launch and ship the device asap
[One (M7) General] Indian Rockstars:
Hey, Yeah there will be no further delays ...We all are dying to get that bloody thing in our hands ...:crying::crying:

Just cant wait...

Its a Pan India release .....

cheers

Its ok...You all can demand INFIBEAM Money back or difference refund...say that you'll cancel the order ...

I am sure even if they do......Its alright , you'll get the handset earlier from any store...

cheers

[One (M7) General] sgurpartap:
i hope so there are no further delays...and one more question for indian rockers since u have good contacts in the company..isnt htc going to advertise the launch date???
[One (M7) General] androidindian:
I seriously question htc india's potential

they are just unable to get the stocks to the stores..

samsung launched it the next day itself after announcing it, and 3 weeks after announcing globally.

its been 2 months htc did that in india.

Ba*ls to all the problems and hangups

HTC can't get its sh*t together

this thread is reaching 200 pages , full of excuses and stories.. could write a book on this .. lol

Period!
[One (M7) General] Indian Rockstars:
Bro...you got to understand the situation...No company believes in getting their profits down...However, there has to be some procedure to it..

and HTC did not come into the market and made all these stories and rumours ...they were all made by us for our satisfaction...

like you just said HTC doesn't have a distributor ??? HtC dint say this...

So HTC never committed on the launch date it was just WE speculating it...

Demand has reached a level which even HTC did not expect...thats good for them..
[One (M7) General] androidindian:
hmmm.. you are right bro!

but , you know what i mean :) hope it comes soon now
[One (M7) General] PG101:
That's a bad business strategy, a demand for a product must always be gauged before its launch to determine what kind of supply needs to be provided ;) Just simple economics :D
[One (M7) General] rockyseenu:
Thanks mate for all the information! I just dropped an email to Infibeam stating if I am not getting my device on 24th as promised by them during order stage - then the order should be cancelled.

If they deliver on time (which i seriously doubt based upon your feedback) well and good! If not then atleast i will try to fight and get the order cancelled and buy from local stores and save some bucks!! Fingers crossed!

What is flipkart upto ???

Read the release date .. 5th week of MAY ??? R u kidding me ? htc one seems to have developed their own release calender:confused:
[One (M7) General] uneek-n1:
I got the same answer about my order. Mine is COD and i did that to hedge against my local dealer (in case he was unable to get the stock). If it does not come on time I will cancel. Nothing lost. Oh I was asked to pay 1000 Rs (no big deal) as a deposit for the "high value purchase" and I did and that too will get refunded if i cancel.
[One (M7) General] riyazquest:
What own calender? 5th week of May starts on 27th and ends on 31st. I guess its reasonable as someone mentioned on this forum that it is coming on 26th to stores now.

Extract -

"According to the reports from brick and mortar stores, the first stocks of the smartphone will start reaching later today or tomorrow in the metros, while other cities and towns should get the phone beginning next week.

If you are planning to buy HTC One from your neighbourhood retailer, contact them now, the initial stocks are expected to be limited, but more stocks are expected in the coming weeks."

[One (M7) General] vari9:
That's great! I hope it gets available soon here in Mumbai :)

Although, alfa (very reliable in Mumbai) had told me they will get sick for sure on the 22nd

The previous two dates they told me they had the htc one but uk version and were selling it for 48k. This time I made it sure he was talking bout the Indian version

[One (M7) General] rkial:
HTC india have never given any date..

They've maintained end of May for a while now.

People came up with random dates and are now getting disappointed with slight delays.

The phone is up online. Its here.. It'll be in stores soon..

If a few days delay means the price is under 40k, it'll be worth it.

and androidindian has come up with a dozen different "confirmed" news stories from "trusted" retailers. All of them are baseless and untrue.

Either he's extremely gullible or on a wum. Give it a rest man.. you dont have an inside track on what is happening.
[One (M7) General] androidindian:
Htc hits indian stores!

Well, HTC ONE is now selling in kolkatta!

and infibeam is shipping in 24 hours (another friend had ordered it they are shipping his device today evening)

so that means its here guys! its official, wooohooo!!

Update : here is a picture ( thanks to luvinguy )
[One (M7) General] :
Edits: shud be the first person in India to have the Indian htc one ... There lots of people like me who got the one from UK or USA weeks back ..

And a advice to the folks the camera lens and the edges are very vulnerable to wear both of them . I have zagg full body protection along with sides but it doesn't cover the camera lens and edges . So using a case is good to protect the device . If you don't like cases (Like me) I think you will like the spigen ultra thin clear case . It's super sleek and looks good I have ordered it last week will be with me anytime . Oh yeah I also ordered spigen glas-t screen protector reviews says it good feels like actual screen (being made of tempered glass)
[One (M7) General] Groovy Bohemian:
Is he sure about it hitting stores on 24th?

[One (M7) General] rubenswing:
This is the post that, I had initially posted on the 18th of May, regarding the One. Most of you guys are so excited, that you forget to read all the forum posts... so pls, u all need to understand that there is an age old saying, "Different strokes for different folks", meaning that there are dates for the dealers to get their stock of the One, eventually on the 23rd and thereafter the stocks will be in proper supply. Another thing, as far as the pricing is concerned, HTC will have to make the rates competitive otherwise ....... disaster for them, agreed that many people here in India, are waiting for the One, but can anyone tell me how many of them would end up buying it? Anyone, No one, I thought so, HTC would have some sort of plan in place to meet the demand level generated here in India, based on their past products. Being speculative about things, will not help HTC launch the product earlier, and neither will you get the product in your hand earlier. I have been watching this thread for a long time now, and but can't help to get amused by folks posting funny things in the past about the product launch.

So guys it will come when it has to come, and great for those folks who have already received it..... peace to you all :)

I have 3 cases including double dip hard case, i recommend the same as it gives best overall protection and goes well with both silver and black.

rock case is transparent and very thin,so protection will be minimal ,but best to show off your device.:cowboy:

nilkkin case is hard and tough,good protection,but affects looks a bit.;)

so best overall is htc double dip hard case- go for it:good:

mobilefun seems like a reliable site,but you need a credit card to buy as shipping is from UK.also their trackable shipping option is costly (comes close to the price of case or even higher:eek:

[One (M7) General] :
when it comes to color its user's preference but note that black one will scuff easily and will show wear , silver one looks better Black one is fab too but when it comes to smudges it sucks and over a long run it will show more wear than the silver one .

most of the users probably wont like to hide their sexeh beast inside a case but will like to have protection.

Spigen Ultra thin air

this case is super light and thin :) i like it the most have ordered mine already.

for screen protection i would recommend this

HTC One Screen Protector GLAS.t SLIM Premium Tempered Glass

it is a tempered glass screen protector ( not made from the plastic like all other are) it has oleophobic coating and feels like actual screen (that glass feel) its abit costly but just try to read some reviews its a 5 star accessory

I ordered this too .

and if you dont wana use cases zagg invisible shield comes in handy :) its cool

BE CAREFUL WITH THE DOUBLE DIP CASE , IT SCRATCHES THE CAMERA LENS EASILY AND THE PLASTIC EDGE BEZEL ( WHICH HOLDS THE SCREEN IN IT)

on the white version the plastic inserts will turn yellowish with time . wiping it with acetone will always work but its better to have a protection on them ..

:good::good::good: i am loving my one .
