Re: HTC One Indian buyers only

I bet it willbe more than 40 k.. Htc india pricing policy is just crap..

Tapatalkedddd...!!!!!

Was considering getting the Z,but that's redundant,now that The One is out
It doesnt have a removable battery ,so i just have a question to ask..
What does one do if adb isnt working,and the phone freezes/hang/has SOD??
(the first thing if i get the phone,i would want to remvove Sense and run AOSP on it,Sense 5 looks crap to me)

Just hold the power button for 10 secs and the device will restart automatically.
For most others, people stick to HTC just because of its Sense (like me) and of course design as well. I know it's just a personal opinion.

When they make non removable battery, they make a powerful power button too. Long pressing it will turn it if and you can't stop it at software level.

HTC One prices in the UK start off at £459 ($703) SIM-free, less than the Xperia Z

:good:



Several of the leading mobile phone retailers in the UK have already posted their preorder prices for the HTC One. The one and only handset ranges from £459 (~$703/~INR 37800), through £510 at Clove, to £519 at Expansys.

These prices are, of course, for the handset only, without any carrier subsidies and long contract commitments. For comparison, the other hot Android handset at the moment, the Sony Xperia Z, is £549 at Expansys, so the HTC One will go for less than that.

If history is any indication, this will translate to slightly above 600 EUR in the Old Continent, and the same amount, but in USD here in America. Of course, since all major carriers but Verizon will be carrying the HTC One, we'll likely be able to snag one for the typical $200 with two-year shackles, with the 32 GB version rumored to command a Benjamin heftier price tag.


But donno after all charges it might b release around/below 40K-45K for sure.

BTW i have 100GB of dropbox storage.

Re: HTC One Indian buyers only

I too have a 100gb d4opbox storage and a 50 gb box storage.. But nothing replaces phone memory or sd slot..
Any idea when it will be in stores in india..?. Anyone has any contacts or something?

Tapatalkedddd...!!!!!

Hat about the storage options? I Think india will get only the 64gb variants

Has anyone bought mobiles from sites like Clove or Handtech?
They wont charge VAT for orders from India... and the shipping will be included in the bill.. but I have no idea about the customs.

Whats the procedure there? How much does it cost and how it is cleared?

even im in the same boat thinking of ordering it from handtech 420 euros coming to 30k..is it safe to order from that site and wat abt customs ?

Re: HTC One Indian buyers only

They wont charge vat..but customs will make it sure they get something.lol.. I have no idea if warranty would be a problem though?

Tapatalkedddd...!!!!!

through handtech including shipping coming upto 32k...why is it so costly here in india and is it safe to book from those sites ?

I saw it on galaxy s2 forums hope this helps you out,

2. Within minutes of the purchase on 4th, Handtec requested for some security clearance info:

3. Used the 'B' option and sent back the info on the 5th. Called them in the morning(UK) to confirm. They told me that the servers are down, but they do see my response in their system. They should have the item dispatched as soon as the servers are up.

4. Called again 6th morning(UK) to find the status. And like they promised, they had dispatched it on th 5th evening, and provided me a DHL tracking #

5. DHL tracking info:

ok, a few more details before I sign off:

At the time of purchase, the item had a next day delivery option (obviously for the UK) and not the 2-5 day dispatch like it now says.

An additional Rs. 1044 was charged by the DHL courier for customs at the time of delivery. The amount included the cutoms fee, education cess, and handling fee). The item was categorized as "Electrical Goods" and NOT "Mobile Phones".

Hope the info benefits some. Good luck shopping. Cheers.

And i don't know but i think its not euro its British pounds.

sorry my bad coming to 36k.

Customs for mobile phones import in India is 2.05%. I constantly import phones and I can vouch on this. Order peacefully from handtec or cloves

Thanks a lot hiback.

Any time mate.

Re: HTC One Indian buyers only

Dont import now its too early price would be somewhat near 38k and its definately gonna come by 1st april. Dont be itcy lol i also sold my note 2 just waiting for proper launch. If you order now it will cost you about 36-37k including custom shipping. You wait 2weeks extra spend a 1000 bucks more and get indian HTC ONE with warranty.

Decision is yours
