igyaan.in/2010/11/igyaan-exclusive-desire-hd-and-desire-z-india-launch-on-10th-dec-prices/[/url]

Good News...Badly waiting for it...Looks like the rates are cheaper than what u get in europe...Not sure what's the catch....

WOW they keep rolling them out to other countries despite that according to htc they 'cant keep up with demand' and that is just demand in the uk. i guess this is the reason for the delays ......
however it is good news for those of you who want to pick one up on contract i guess

@Noobdeagle
-No we don't have phones on contract in India...all are sim unlocked.
-You can buy phone from carriers but still have to pay the unlocked price
Recently they released in germany and checked amazon and other sites...its already out of stock in Germany...so Even the phone is announced in india...only the almighty knows how long it will take to actually feel one in hand

really all sim unlocked sounds better than on contract i always import sim-free and no where usually want to sell new handset sim free unlocked and unbranded which is frustrating otherwise id probably have one in my hands already.
i guess htc must just want to get it out there as a sort of advertisement for the product, to get people stuck on never ending waiting lists lol

@v6kgang - well all i can say is that the phone was supposed to release in Nov thru vodafone not bundled or sumthin may be for the launch of 3G but as vodafone 3G is delayed till next year so i think it will be available from local dealers. Since vodafone guys have no clue i managed to get hold of the official distributor for htc devices in kolkata he is saying that the phone shud be here soon but not willing to give definate dates. but he said one thing for sure the phone is definately coming nd pretty soon. So i have my fingers crossed that the 10th dec date is proper info ...
@Noobdeagle - v6kgang is correct there are jbarely 5% of the phones which are branded but they are mostly low end basic phones.

@Noobdeagle - LOL...was thinking about the same thing...they are not able to keep the promise in europe for timely delivery...They just want to add Asian customers as well to the waiting list i guess...
@gaurav - Knew it mate...u can never trust these guys...i still remember iphone came after 2 years to india on contract and is still being sold at around 30K. If it is sold through retailers the price would be un-imaginable...should well cross the 34K mark...lets keep our fingers crossed

I got news that DHD will be launched after December 28. And pricing is the issue for not launching now.

I'm waiting for the mobile to get released officially , even thought the grey market price is 33k in bangalore.. Hope so the wait is worth it..

hey guys got confirmed news from source in kolkata that the phone is coming next week by 22nd or 23rd which means next week. well i think that means the price tussle between the distributors nd htc is over. THANK GOD FOR THAT .. well the price still seems to be 30k+.... but still i have my fingers crossed nd hope htc follows the schedule this time.

[Q] Should I buy a Defy?

I bought my first Defy just before Christmas.
Well I lost my Defy in the Indian Ocean on holiday a couple of weeks ago..... waterproof video
Problem is I really liked the Defy but is it really worth paying for twice £260 x2 ?
What is it like with 2.2 and will it ever get an open bootloader?
Convince me to get another one, because I can't decide.
BTW I'm now using a Nokia 5800, so it may not take too long before I get the urge.

Question is: What are alternatives and what features do you need? If you need waterproof video, the selection is probably limited . 260 Pounds sounds a bit expensive IMHO.

1.Don't know yet, 2. probably not.
I personally think the phone is worth it's money and it is a solid and reliable device, but because of the locked bootloader I will not buy a Motorola phone again and hence will not convinve you in buying one.

By elementary economics/accountings, your bricked phone is historical and shouldn't be factor in your decision

Why pay so much? On ebay you can find new for 200-220 euros. i found mine for 190

problem resolved
checked on Ebay and put in a bid for £215 on a new sim free Defy and won. Was checking out Samsung Galaxy S as well, they look nice. FTR Nokia 5800 is fairly rubbish, but worth £70.... hello Ebay
The moral here was that we shouldn't be too tight with our money. Or tie string on your phone when in the sea, you choose.
out.

[Q] Can i upgrade??

hi everyone...
i am willing to buy defy from India. will i be able to root and customize it with other ROMs?? can i install CM7 and gingerbread?? i mean can i use all the customization available here in the android development for defy like overclocking??
i am kinda Noob....sorry if it sounds silly...

i dont think price will drop again

Wait for atleast one week
I bought it for 10999 on primeday
But there was a mandatory prime membership charge of 500.
I think you should wait for atleast 7 days, keep on looking for price cut.

Wait for 1 or 2 weeks and Amazon will have again some kind of sale and then you can buy it at 10,999₹

New device available at 10,999
Hi. It's an amazing purchase for 10,999. One of the best smartphone deals in history if you value your hard earned money. I have a unit that's coming to me for delivery today. I bought it on Prime Day, COD. I can give it to you for the price you want as my cousin is sending a galaxy s7 edge from the US. The lenovo z2 plus hasn't even been delivered to me as of now. It will be a new piece. Do let me know @ 9644930916
