Hi Guys!
First of all, my apologies for opening this thread, I've searched the forum and haven't really found the information that I'm looking for, so I'm wondering if you could assist me on this subject.
I'll be visiting New York next 24/08 and I'm really looking forward to purchasing a HTC ONE. Basically I want to purchase a phone that works on my home country (Portugal), so I guess I should be looking for an unlocked model.
I did some research on the WEB and I'm having trouble to find a place (in NYC) to purchase it. Could you please indicate if it can be purchased in store? I believe I read somewhere that some carriers over there sell it unlocked but still, I would have to sign up for a 2-year contract.
I also found that I can be bought from htc.com (best price I've found so far) but the problem is that I do not have a US credit card. Do you know of site (?) that can simulate an american credit card? As mI'm staying there with friends, posting the item to their adress wouldn't be a problem.
My last question (and thanks for having read this far, ! ), upon buying the device, is its warranty worlwide or would I have to buy an extended warranty (if possible?)?
Many thanks for helping me and for your advices on this.
Best Regards,

Hello,
When you get to New York, go into any Wal Mart or big store and buy a Visa gift card for the amount of the phone. Note that the price that you see on the website DOES NOT include tax or shipping. You see see the final total at the very end of checkout right before you enter payment method. Then, you can go online and register the card to whatever address you are staying at becuase HTC will only ship the phone to the address on the card. You do this at the wesbite on the back of the card. Once you have done that, you can go to the HTC website and but the phone and have it shipped to the address that you are staying at.
Hope this helps!
Look up HTC limited warranty
It states that the warranty is only enforceable and valid in countries where the phone is sold. So... You might want to shoot HTC an email.
Hey Guys!
Thanks so much for the above.
One question though, do you think it's best to order it though HTC or can I buy it unlocked in store??

First of all there's no Walmart in New York, second, when you by from HTC's online store, you don't have to pay any taxes. If I'm not wrong, only if you live in California or Texas you have to pay taxes, I'm not really sure about any other state but I'm 100% sure that it doesn't apply for New York state. Just be carefull about the shipping time if you want to buy directly from HTC (you said you're visiting NY, not moving out here). Also, you can find unlocked gsm ONEs at T-Mobile or AT&T stores but in this case, yes you have to pay taxes and they come with all the branding crap but it shouldn't be an issue if you're planning to flash a cooked ROM. Good luck!

Hi Pirateye!
I appreciate your advices. I see that on the HTC web site the sell different modelo, the 'normal' One and the GE One.
Could you possible recomend One based on your experience with yours?
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda app-developers app
You can either get those gift cards (there is an activation fee on most) or you can ask your friend to help you out and pay for it. I can't answer your question about warranty as I'm not sure myself.
However, I've purchase my HTC One Developer Edition on a Saturday night and chose 2 day shipping (~$9). The stand shipping is about $5, so if you're in a rush, just pay the extra $4. Also, no tax. Since it was on the weekend, it didn't ship out until Monday and arrived on a Wednesday. (I live in NYC).
There are no Walmarts in NYC. The closes is in Long Island but I don't know how well stock that Walmart is or if they even have the HTC One. ATT doesn't seem to have the 64gb in stores and if they do, they are charging $700 and you'll have to pay tax. And I'm not sure how much it will cost you to unlock the phone (probably $20).
It cost 580 for the 32 Tmobile version but I don't recommend that since you live oversea so that extra band probably doesn't mean much to you. The developer editions $650 for 64gb.

So far, I've had my HTC One for about 2-3 weeks now, and have no issue (it doesn't appear I have issues with gaps or anything wrong with the screen). I prefer a bit of a smaller screen and removable battery but the phone is just beautiful. The battery life is amazing, I can go about 24 hours on the phone before I need to charge (with about 3-4 hours of heavy usage).
The normal One comes with HTC Sense while the GE comes with stock Android (as seen on Nexus phones). I bough mine in April, so is the "normal one". I also flashed a GE Rom a while ago but I came back to Sense. From my point of view Sense is cooler meaning that you have more features but others might like plain Android flavor. Just do a search on YouTube for HTC One Sense vs Google Edition.

I agree .
US models operate on different bands from EMEA (European Middle East and Africa)
GSM,GPRS,EDGE (2g) : 850/900/1800/1900 MHz (USA & EMEA)
UMTS,HSPA (3g) :
900/1900/2100 MHz (EMEA)
850/AWS/1900/2100 MHz (USA T Mob)
850/950/2100 MHz (USA A T & T)
LTE (4g)
800/1800/2600 MHz (EMEA)
700 MHz/AWS (USA AT&T, T Mob)
I would urge you not to buy in USA if you want full use in Portugal or any other European countries.
There are posts on xda from people who bought in USA and had problems of not all phone and data bands working in their home country.
In addition to difficulties with warranty, likely none

Got mine for £370 on eBay from Hong Kong, including shipping. Did see it cheaper elsewhere but chose a shop with a decent reputation. Would always rather pay a bit more than risk getting burned. Although if you buy with a credit card you should be protected from scams anyway.
if you did a simple google search, you will know its a scam website.

does your version of the Inc S support the 850/1900 (At&T) 3G in the US? the only one i've seen that does is the Canadian (BELL) version.
EDIT: Just read your post in another forum; your version supports T-Mobile 3G? Correct? Thanks!
No, it is a UK model phone and only supports 900/AWS/2100 for 3G. I am using it on T-Mobile and must say, I like it alot.

It uses HSPA yes, not HSPA+ that I'm aware of, My wife's G2 is HSPA+ and I consistently throughout the day have slightly faster speeds than her G2 according to speed test. Bear in mind, im also using it with the $5.00 unlimited web2go, being an import T-mo doesn't know the IMEI and can't distinguish it from a dumbphone.
Anyone else find this phone $450-500?
I am looking for a replacement for my aging Nexus One.
I am hoping prices will decrease on Ebay since Verizon is releasing a similar dual CDMA/GSM model; Incredible II
Can someone post some trustworthy website where you buy yours? I am wanna keep my tzone so i am returning the G2x and get this phone.
also, do all versions of this phone works on t-mobile usa's HSPA network? how many versions of this phone are there?

I got mine from ebay. I bought it from 38mobile on ebay. Just check their feedback. I think that's best. 38mobile was quick. Ordered on monday, got it on thursday.
you have to get the model S710E for it to work on Tmobile 3G.
i am also waiting to buy this phone, and thinking if the release of the Incredible 2 gsm+cdma will alter the pricing of this phone.
One question i have is, would it be better to buy the unlocked unbranded S710e over an unlocked droid incredible 2 (pretty sure both have 3G 2100 bands i need).

I also decided to buy the phone, but after finding that the price of the sensation is going to be $500, it doesnt make sense to me to pay more than $500 on the incredible. At that price, i would rather just get the sensation.. i dont see the point here
All prices on ebay from a trustworthy sellers are atleast $530. Also on Handtec.UK the price is above $550 and Clove is the same. As i live in the middle east, i need a place that ships worldwide and accepts paypal
Should i just wait for the sensation to come out and maybe the price will drop?

Who said the price of the sensation is $500, are you kidding me, it's 599 pounds in the UK, that's about nearly a grand in dollars, I aint saying its gonna be a grand here, but its not gonna be selling for $500. I highly doubt you gonna see the sensation for $500 here in the US, show me the proof!
I have no proof, but thats what ppl say on the sensation forum, that non subsidized price is going to be $499 and subsidized is going to be $199
Portuguese Fnac (www.fnac.pt) will have in the next 2 days for 550,00 EUR but the funny thing is that you could get a Desire HD for 500,00 EUR...what would you do ?
Was looking around on Tab prices yesterday.
Ebay...350.00 upwards etc....
Telstra.com are offering them outright for AU 299.00 but are locked to telstra network.
Rang Harvey Norman this morning, and they matched the 299.00 price tag.
The Galaxy Tabs they sell are also SIM Un-Locked.
So, im now the proud owner of a Galaxy Tab.
Just thought id post this info for any other fellow aussies who are looking for a new tab, at a great price.
Harvey norman will continue to match the 299.00 price.
LOL the Telstra TABS ($299) are NOT locked to Telstra. Not sure where you got that info from.

From the Sales representative i was speaking to on the phone yesterday.
Wouldnt surprise me though if the info is wrong, havent spoken to too many telstra reps that really know their job anyway.
I have a telstra tab and its definetly not locked, ive used a optus sim in it, but damn $299 i may go pick one up today
Well, im glad they arent locked. Was just passing on the info i knew, so that it may benefit others.
I actually went in to the telstra shop this morning with intention to get one, but they had no stock, and werent sure when new stock would arrive
When Harvey Norman told me they would match the price, i was stoked.
Considering they have the Tab on display for $589.00, it does pay to ask the question.
I saved good money, and got a great buy i think.
Just out of interest, are the Harvey Norman Tabs the Telstra branded P1000T ones? or the standard P1000?
On the box, mine says GT-P1000
ok thanks so that's the non-telstra one. it's suitable for those who never plan on using Telstra Next G.
Personally I'd rather go with the Telstra model for 2 reasons.
a) Option of using Next G if I wanted to
b) Vodafone will be 'soon' rolling out their network on the same 850 band.
Downside - If you're currently with anyone but Telstra you won't get a connection is rural areas.

Moral of the story if you don't plan on using your pad in the 'bush' it's best to buy the Telstra model.
it is definitely $299 and unlocked. This deal start from last week on Telstra ONLINE OFFER ONLY and Telstra start the deal instore from this week.
It is very fast sell as the prices drop from $408 and for anyone who missed this deal (so many out of stock) you can grab one in JB HIFI, they also sell it for $299, not sure with Hardly Normal, opss i mean harvey norman
I got mine from harvey....and i have no problem plopping a optus sim in and getting next G lol.
Yes telstra probably are the best to be with....but boy...dont ya pay for that.
I used to use telstra...but got sick and tired of paying the most and getting nothing in return.....optus looks after me, and i dont have any problems connecting anywhere.
Cool thanks for the info guys. I picked up a telstra branded tab today also and I have noticed that the wifi tethering is not enabled nor can i directly setup my hotmail account.
I have a HTC HD2 telstra version that I have played with many versions of android, unfortunatly the usb charging connection on that device is broken and I think it may be a while befor I'll be able to track down the part I need to repair it.
Anyway been playing with the new toy (samsung galaxy tab) since this morning and it's a rather cool device.
I'm with Telstra as I often find myself in real crap hole places for work where the only reception if any is telstra.
Once i figure out how to root this device and flash a standard no brand rom I will as Telstra have loaded up this device with all there own bloatware that is mostly useless.
I just used z4root 1.3 to root mine mate.
Also, i installed clockworkmod and chose the [email protected] recovery rom if thats any help.

The price relevant to you is the one excluding VAT. Good luck! I'm looking forward to seeing some sample pictures and videos before making the jump!

Did they force you to get a data plan, or were you able to buy it by itself? Website is not at all clear on that point, and I don't trust the stores to know the policy, so figure best to go in with an example or two
Also, did you give any thought to a Nokia 920? It seems to me the Galaxy Camera is a camera with some phone functionality, and the 920 s a phone with some camera functionality. But not clear from images I've seen posted that either is significantly better than the other in image quaity, which is making it hard to jump one way or the other.
No I didn't need a data plan I live in Mexico, so I can't have a US data plan. The lady at the store at first didn't know they even had the camera there, because it was the day when it came out. But once she saw the camera, she knew I could buy it without a plan.
There are some people saying that they've been told at stores that you do need a plan, but as far as I know you don't. We talking to a manager or something can help.

I found one AT&T store that wanted to force me to have a data plan, but after a new store got some in stock, I tried them, and after going into a huddle for 20 minutes or so they decided I could buy one without the data plan.
I did wonder about getting one with a data plan then doing early termination of the plan (which the AT&T web site says you can do at no charge if it is within 14 days, but fortunately I didn't have to try that .

Not a big deal for me, I hate AT&T and I have to have a GSM phone because I travel overseas for my business and CDMA is not and option for me. I still find T-mobile the best bang for the buck, hands down. I have never had any issues with customer service and the coverage and network speeds are fine for my everyday needs. So far the N4 upgrade was best 200 dollars I have spent, and I sold my GNEX for 200 an hour after I bought the N4 so my out of pocket expense was zero, not bad.

I posted this awhile back on the Nexus 5 leaked thread.

Or better yet: here's to hoping that Google is waiting until shipment to major countries are all done so it will be a global release and not just a "US only" for the first few months, followed by some other country, so on so forth :fingers-crossed:

After looking at that link above I just realized one of the leaked pictures was actually from Malaysia.
Now I wonder if it'll be released in my country (Indonesia) as well. I may be hoping but I'm not hoping much at all. Indonesia is like one of the least "Google-cared" country. We get new devices so late it's not even new anymore.
Then again it might be our retail shops / carriers that just went full retard and think "Meh, who the hell buys Nexus in this country anyway? Why should we rush to get this phone in?"
Damn it
I might get one from Singapore if it was released there, though. Should there be any problems warranty is much easier to process (I fly back and forth every few months).
I asked singtel on their fb page. Their response:
Dear Jeremy, thank you for your interest. Do keep a look-out! Please be assured that we will keep you informed once we have an update. Thanks
"do keep a look out" sounds rather promising, but I'm only cautiously optimistic

It sounds like a rather generic response to me...
But I'm not gonna buy w contract though. Seems like I'm the only one amongst my friends w 12gb data cap.. And I'm not gonna give that away. Starhub 3g is fast enough
If its released in Malaysia then all the more better. Just a drive/ride across 2nd link or causeway

yeah I'm probably not gonna sign any more plans since I wanna keep my 12GB quota + LTE plan
also looking to upgrade from gnex

How much is the tax & shipping cost within JP? You're using tenso right?
acutally after GST and delivery, it would be around 600+ to get from JP right? for 32gb version

I am also in SG. I wouldn't hold my breath waiting for a 12GB contract on LTE. Singapore telcoms just followed suit with the USA and went for the massive cash grab known as metered billing.
I think that it's wrong to go from 12GB to 2GB of data while keeping the price the same. The price per month should have been lowered according to the data offered.
You have to admit though we are still paying a lot less than people in the USA. (http://www.androidcentral.com/us-mobile-data-prices-among-most-expensive-world)
My plan:
120 (outgoing mins)
600 SMS
2GB data
$39SGD (31.40 USD) per month
I have a friend that lives in the UK. I will be getting him to order me a white 32GB so that I can take advantage of LTE.
