It's not out in the states yet. I'm sure the TMobile US version will be out by then, and maybe some others, but it's not clear at all when an unlocked GSM version will be available here (there's a recent thread linking to an online store, price of about $800 even, but it's preorder).
Clove (UK online store) offers the unlocked Euro GSM version for a little over $700 dollars, but that's minus the VAT. I don't know if all of Europe would pay VAT or just British.
well, i live in New York, and i bought mine
unlocked for 739.99, i saw it tru ebay
but the store was here in the city so
i went personally to the place and bought it.
u can find some more cheap tru ebay..
maybe arround 700..
oh and btw im using it with T-mobile..
too bad they will only allow Edge on it....
ok ok thank you
Is the HTC Desire available in HK. I will be there from 12-14th of April and Im really hoping to get it then. The legend is already available but no news about the Desire.
Not sure but try either the top floor (entry level) of Wan Chai Computer centre or the places around Sham Shui Po. If you have never bought electronics from HK, you need to be aware that there are two prices - one for HK stock (usually pricer) and the other for grey imports from China and Japan. Warranty coverage for the latter is done by the shop, so if you have a problem you will have to send it back to that shop. That being said, HTC probably wont provide warranty coverage outside of the country of purchase (according to one of the other threads).
Thanks for the advice. My iPhone was bought in Shenzhen so no worries about warranty. I have been coming to HK since last 7 years on business. Buying most of my gadgets there. I was only concerned regarding availability of the phone in HK as cant see it mentioned anywhere in any of the forums or Google.
I've checked out WanChai just last night actually and there's no sign of the Desire.
Good news is, because of the current favorable exchange rate with the GBP, you can just do what I do. Order overseas from Clove! I'm expecting mine to arrive in HK on Monday. And even with shipping, it's cheaper than it would be when it goes on sale in HK.
A friend was 4 days ago in HKG and he found it somewhere in Kowloon.
Sorry, i've no more details and no price tag...

I will try to the same as I will be in Hong Kong a couple of days after you.
I have bought HTC devices several times in Hong Kong and never had any problems.
The computer stores in Wan Chai and Mongkok are your best bet. Look around though do a bit of bargaining.
keep us inforned.

I cant order it to HK as I will be there only for 3 days and also cant order to India as then too expensive after paying import taxes. N1 is around 4500HKD in Mong Kok if Desire is same price or lower it will be ideal. I will look around Mong Kok and Sham Shui PO. Also Kowloon ( Thanks to Atomicman). If found and bought I will inform on this forum immediately.
I've been looking around for the Desire in HK too, so far nothing. Most of the shops either say they don't know the release date, or "maybe next week", which is the typical answer when they have no idea.
The latest from the HK forums (using google translate) is that HTC HK has said they're not sure of an exact date, maybe in June. The consensus is that they want to give the Legend (out March 31st) some time to sell before releasing the Desire. I'm sure grey imports from the UK will start to show up soon, but at a premium.
Not sure if it'll be cheaper than the Nexus One, since you can get an N1 directly from Google for less than $4500, so their price in Mongkok just includes a small mark-up. The Legend is $4180, down to $3980 in some places, so I reckon the Desire will be at least $6-800 more than that to set it apart.
Based on all that info, I also ordered from Clove today.
@ohyeahar: when did you order yours? Do you have a DHL tracking number for it already?

Ordered on March 8. Already shipping. Expecting it on Monday.
So slim to zero chance of getting a desire in HK before 14th April? So what do you suggest I do buy the Legend or N1? Please advise as Im quite eager to buy an android phone now. I will be able to change it only after 6 months so have to live with whichever phone I buy till then.
ohyeahar if you feel like selling your Desire let me know ;-)
@sickboy888
I got your PM and was trying to reply, but you've disabled receiving of PM's. You might want to look into that.
Finally bought the Nexus One as couldn't find the desire and cant with for an android phone any longer. I'm in HK till 15th Morning so if any one knows of a definite place where desire is available here do let me know. I don't mind buying that as well. Can always sell my N1 on Ebay in India.
I bought my HTC Desire (UK) version at a shop in Tsuen Wan. It mainly deals online shopping for customers from mainland china but they also sell phones there. I just got mine there yesterday. See if they have any stocks left and you can get one there. The contact information below:
Rm2412, 24/F, Wing Hing Ind Building
83-93 Chai Wan Kok Street, Tsuen Wan
Tel:3583 2773

Congrats! How much did you get it for?
$4380
Well to TBH you can buy it at Clove at a cheaper price...but what happens if your phone breaks down ? You won't be buying a round trip ticket to UK to just fix your phone... (Rmb the warranty for HTC UK is 2 years !!)
They include a one time FREE deliver service to UK center to repair the machine...and afterwards they charge you $200 only.
Just like ordinary HKers time is important...hehe

That's a good price actually. If you consider the price difference between the Legend and Desire in UK and that the Legend's retail price in HK is 4199, I'd expect the Desire to cost about 4389.
That is a good price considering the phone isn't available in the usual shops in HK.
Regarding the warranty, according to the spec on Clove the phone comes with a 2 year International warranty, so if anything goes wrong you should be able to get HTC HK to take care of it, right?
Hi everyone ! Currently I have a Xperia S, it's a good phone but it's a little bit old.
So I wanted to buy a Xperia Z1 Compact but it's prices are to high for me, and I found this on Ebay :
http://www.ebay.fr/itm/Sony-Xperia-...?pt=FR_Téléphones_mobiles&hash=item338cfa9163
The problems are :
- It's ebay (I never bought anything on this website
- It's a phone delivered from Honk Hong (I live i France and I don't know if the phone will work with French 3G/4G)
Can you help me ? I would be so...helpfull !
Thanks !
I live in the USA and bought my z1 compact on ebay. I believe it is from hong kong because of the charger that came with it. It works fine for my carrier. Before you buy it you need to look up your carrier's radio frequencies and compare them to what the z1c uses.
I bought mine from imobilephonex. Check them out. They're pretty good with shipping and customs. Plus they go through paypal as we'll for buyer protection
I have bought mine from ebay. It was my first time too. I recommend paying using paypal as you will get paypal buyer protection along with ebay's protection.
Check the rating of the seller. Reliable sellers will have around 99% positive feedback.
I PMed you the one I bought. You can use that as an example. (Not yet allowed to post links :crying
The model I got was a Hongkong verision. And the seller included Fedex priority upgrade and a North American charger as well as a car charger for free :laugh:
Hope this helps.
Best Regards.
Thanks for your replies !
I have an other question, what about manufacturer's warranty ? I live in European Union and here we have a 2 years warranty for all the products we buy from manufacturer !
I forgot that but it's really important !

This is the warranty card that came with my phone. I can't tell if my phone would be under warranty but I would assume the answer is no
Hi,
As in tittle i was waiting badly for this version and finally it's launched.
Here it is http://estore.htc.com/tw/buy/zh-TW/shop/htc-one-10
I'm from Europe (Poland) and on the htc Taiwan website online store there is no international shipping.
Pls can someone explain / help me to buy it?
There are some folks having Taiwan devices in this forum.
Please help, thanks in advance and any kind of your effort highly appreciated.
I am desperate to get it
I can buy Taiwan device, but problem is the shipment and tax...I got zero experience on high-value electronic device international shipment...
I think in a couple of weeks it will be on Amazon. Red editon M7 and M8 both like this method back in 2014.
Just be careful with the private sellers. Good luck.
I consider flying to Taipei, problem is I'm afraid going there and having the device out of stock. I could have a problem with my air tickets in case I'll look for the cheapest one.
Was there last Month bought my device on the 29th April, Taiwan had a Full Stock of the HTC10 while other countries didn't even have it yet.
I didn't buy it in a Big Store but at a small 2x2m Shop in a building Full of small shops in the Guanghwa Digital Plaza.
There was this Taiwanese Webpage which compared prizes against each other but I've forgotten the name, sorry.
P.S I think it's cheaper in HongKong than in Taiwan, just make sure its not a Lifestyle 10 ^^
Why don't shoot a message those guys there..

Sent from quite brutal hTc 10 ..
Cause he doesn't sell red unit
That's exactly the reason why you should try to contact him and ask if he wants to add the red one to his sales ^^
Hi all,
Next month my friend will be going to China.
I am going to ask her to buy OP5T for me but may she is convenient to buy from shop instead of online order.
Does anyone knows if we can now buy it from regular phone shops or any retailer in China ?
Thx.
