HTC One in India

All- as lot of you now soon be proud owners of HTC One (India build), please can you confirm-

1. Software version- is it 1.28 or 1.29

2. Does Sense TV has option for India

3. Any India specific applications bundled. (In HTC One X, there was Saavan)

4. Any other India specific feature/option you see.

5. Blinkfeed already has India as an option, so I believe it will be same

I am trying to make sure, we holders of UK/US build phones are not missing out any thing!!
[One (M7) General] luvingguy:
1) 1.29

2) Nope

3) Nope

I booked last night with the 9 Month EMI option, your status got updated regarding despatch?
[One (M7) General] Indian Rockstars:

Price would be 42,990 Rs and it depends upon your dealer how much discounts he passes on..:)

[One (M7) General] sandman9:
wondering whether its still wise going for the htc one - just read some reports from the verge twitter feed that the company is in a freefall and executives are jumping ship.

have already ordered one but now thinking about support, service and future updates...

hope these fears are unfounded as its one of the best devices available (hopefully soon everywhere) in the market

[One (M7) General] stuli1989:
The company is financially stable so future updates et al shouldnt be a problem... the sales of the One should propel it even more into stability, what is required is for them to be able to hire the right people right now and form the correct plans for the future no more risky bets like the HTC first etc

The unit is one of if not the best on the market right now and lets hope that by the time we are all in the market for another one there is another similar string of blockbuster hits from them
[One (M7) General] androidindian:

[One (M7) General] bornotty:
seeing the black one in person actually made me change my mind but I dont want people to mix it up with the looks of BB Z10 from a distance

and seeing the silver one placed on a flat surface actually looks very futuristic with 2 silver bars on top and bottom

4g / LTE connectivity ?

For people who have just purchased HTC One from India. Is the HTC One 32 GB india version compatible with Indian 4g LTE Bands ?

Is it different from the US Unlocked version 32 gb or the indian version is exactly the same as the US one ?

Awaiting Reply :)

Thank you !!

[One (M7) General] Maddymiru:
Hey Indian Rockstar.. You were very confident about the price being dropped to around 39K to 40K max.. What happened? They still seem to be selling at the 42990 price in most places!!
[One (M7) General] thechints:
Not directed at me, but I'll share my two cents on this question.

Once supplies reach most retailers, prices might come down to S4 levels. It's the early hype, lack of supply that's keeping the price afloat. Some overzealous people (read geeks) like us keep flooding with enquiries giving the notion of heavy demand and encouraging sellers to hold on to prices. Let real sales start and the true picture will come out.

If only I were British, I'd say "Calm your tits down, gentlemen. And the world shall be yours" (in this case the HTC One at a slightly better price).

Delay our purchase by 2-3 weeks (max) and 38ish seems probable. Probably see 39ish if stocks still around by next weekend is my guess....

But then, paying an extra 2-3k is not a big price if that is able to quench all the inquisitiveness and orgasmic excitement, and also allows you to post on all possible social networks that you own the One now (of course, along with a few Zoes).
[One (M7) General] Indian Rockstars:
Hey friend...

Prices has been dropped by HTC ....However , dealers are selling them at declared MoP of 42,990 Rs as the demand is more than the supply...they are just taking plain advantage of the situation..

As you can see there online retailers offering discount of 1000 rs ( Infi & FLipkart), Guys getting phone at 41000 rs or 42000 rs....It all depends iupon the dealer...HTC have done their bit..

Hope it clarifies ...
[One (M7) General] vinaymieux:
Very well put Sir.... Genuine applaud!
[One (M7) General] gowt126:

[One (M7) General] vinaymieux:
Here's a little take from me on the pricing and launch:

As Indian Rockstar mentioned, the prices have been dropped by HTC but dealers are taking advantage of us because of our own created hype! I read that there are dinners being hosted with bollywood stars by the end of the month. If you try to analyse the situation here; HTC ONE (even though starting to be available) is not yet "Officially" been launched/ announced. Which probably the company might want to do with the events happening at the end of the month. Post that i believe we can see REAL price of One show up!

As far as the stocks are concerned... my thoughts say that if the company is hosting events with stars... it will have stocks to throw in the market as well... No company can be stupid enough to do marketing stunts and launches with no stock to sell (Even HTC is not that stupid). So i believe.... HTC will have stocks left which will be sold at the lowered price in the coming week!!

This is completely my speculation... don't come searching for me to hunt me down ;) if after reading this you decide to wait and price doesn't go down or stock are gone!

As far as i am concerned... saving 3-4 grand to me is LESS important than the sleepless nights I'm getting without "The One" :P

Also, after reading articles on "HTC - Quietly Sinking".... I just hope... "THE ONE" can save HTC's ZION!!! All Hail NEO!!!!
[One (M7) General] forumhookersdotcom:
Phoneix Mall , Universel . Will get it by tonight.
[One (M7) General] Funkym0nkey:
Frankly these coupons have nothing to do with dealer pricing.

Our Indian ecommerce scene is plagued with marketing euphoria. It is bad for industry, they know it and still continue down this path. Lot of these stores actually take a financial hit for marketing purpose. Just to get the hype built up and to get customers to buy from their stores. Cut prices too much, too close to margins and this is why we have had this coupon bonanza over last 2 years. This is why even giants like Flipkart suffered and are now reducing this practice under pressure from investors.

The coupons are purely for marketing purpose. At times some stores have taken loss on these items to promote their site. Using up to 70% of their revenue for marketing purpose. This is why you see lot of big ecommerce sites branching out and now allowing third party sellers to sell on their sites. This eventually reduces the quality of experience to end user, but lot of them went down the wrong path and now at the point of no return. Even flipkart is now allowing third party sellers to sell on their site.

It is good for customers in short term though :victory:
[One (M7) General] htc_one_fan:
Why is HTC One is quoted as "HTC 810 E One" in the univercell website? Is it any different from the US/UK versions? Wont mind if it has changed for the better? If not, importing would make more sense..

but i just went through the reviews on mouthshut.com

they are very depressing reviews !! people are cursing them !!

so a bit hesistant....

i do not want a opened box htc one, after one month ....

but price is putting me in a fix !!

i hope they had 'cash on delivery' or 'pick up from a store' thing...

it wud hv been awesome...
[One (M7) General] Funkym0nkey:
That is because like many other shopping sites, Indiatimes rely on 3rd party sellers. There is huge communication gap. You complain to them, they take couple of days to pass on the message to seller, seller takes their own sweet time to respond, then they respond back to you and cycle continues.

Very frustrating indeed.

P.S: Anyone interested in 12 day used 64GB Developer edition? My cousin just got posted to 4 month Japan on site duty and is leaving next week. Phone will be useless for him there. So he is selling it. Anyone interested just drop the PM. Just posting here in case anyone is interested before I ebay it.
