As per title has anyone seen the sensation available in Hong Kong yet? I'm flying there on Sat for a day trip and its between this and the Desire HD. I REALLY want to get the sensation, but I don't think it's around yet.
I'm sure I spotted it on a website, listed with the price a few weeks back but can't find the web site now. All the others I have found since have it listed but no price and no eta yet
So figured I'd ask in here on the off chance. I think the official release date is 8th June! sod's law that as I can't change my flight.
so anyone from HK on here and has anyone seen it there yet??
I saw a seller on ebay located in hongkong. Maybe you can contact the seller and find out if you can just pick it up at their warehouse.

Does that mean a launch ? or just a date for ?? or summit else altogether ?
I heard it will be available on 3th of June. I think you can shop around after 4: 00pm cause most of retailer get their inventory around that time.
http://www.android-hk.com/news/htc-sensation-hk-price-5198/
according to this website, it says the press conference is on june 3th and should be available later this week
Cheers guys
Brusko I emailed that seller and he said yes i can come and collect from xyz, BUT they are not open on Sat or Sun aaarrgghhh (I'm only there for Sat, it's a quick day trip for me)
However I'm guessing it MUST be available elsewhere and if the press release today holds true, fingers crossed I'll get this bad boy this weekend I hope

Cheers guy, found it no problems, couple of places said they'd be getting it later that day.
Paid 4,200 for it, but got 32gb class 10, MicroSD card thrown in too so I'm happy.
Just have to learn how navigate and use it now. 1st Andriod phone so it's gonna be a fun learning experience
There's a lot in Shen Zhen
I want to buy one! can you please point me to a shop in hongkong where they sell these.
hkd 4,200 w/ 32gb card btw is great!!
cheaper than that would be awesome!!!!

not bad 540 with 32gb sd card
I bought mine in Mong Kok. Plenty of places had it in stock. The big stores were expecting it that day.
I think I could've got the price down further if I'd been paying cash. As always cash is king there And if more places had it.
Sadly I was in a hurry else I would've gotten the cash in hand.
Couldn't find accessories for it though, but I'll get those later.
Right now I'm enjoying it, I showed it off to a few friends over the weekend, one guy started to get his iphone out and then saw how fast this is and didn't bother and just gave me the bird lol
Thanks! I'll try to find my way there this week.
Smartone also have the sensation now. Got mine there yesterday, unbranded as well.
The phone came with a load of preinstalled smartone apps. A quick factory reset and all the smartone apps are gone.

I've found this offer: SIM-free Sensation @ Paramoz.com for £386 + £12 delivery.
(panamoz.com/index.php/htc-sensation-z710e-8gb-due-core-android-sim-free-unlocked-smart-phone.html)
The price is much lower then anywhere else.
On their FAQ it says that they are based in Hong Kong, but phones are compatible with UK/Europe. (panamoz.com/index.php/FAQ)
Online reviews are quite good, so it could be worth buying. (google.co.uk/products/seller?&hl=en&zmi=panamoz.com&cmi=30208238839857152)
Has anyone here bought phones through HK-based sites like this one?
I wonder is it exactly the same phone as the one coming to UK on 20th of June?

I bought my Desire HD (from pre-order) and my wifes Milestone 2 from them, so I know they are legit 100%...
Apparently they have them in stock for GBP 599.99...
I was going to trade up from DHD, but being that I bought it in Nov 2010, it's too soon to spend that much on the phone, I'll wait for the price to drop a bit...
But if anyone wants it, it seems you can get it immediately....

"FIRST UK STOCK LANDING 17TH OF APRIL"
It might be a typo or something, but 17. 4. is already passed, which should mean it's available!
It seems they took down the page, but it still shows up on the HTC product list (and you can add it to the cart):

I saw they have 100 of these in stock but I am wondering if they are fake or not.
Like I said, I bought 2 phones from them already (my DHD was preordered 4 weeks before shipping) and bunch of people from Modaco are their customers...
So business wise they are legit...
I do however believe that it's just a pre-order and that they made a typo regarding stock dates...
very strange
during the meeting in London in April, the sensation was supposed to be available for Vodafone first at mid may
Yeap it was a typo:
THIS PRODUCT LISTING IS PRE-ORDER ONLY

I am surprised as well but then again fathers day is next month .. believe they usually do something then...
I'm loving my one s... If I wasnt a flash addict I would have left this phone stock...

I wouldnt be a happy camper if they had a mother's day sale. That's because it haven't been three weeks since they started offering the phone and I just bought mine on contract, which paid for.

No deals until Fathers Day from what my buddy who is a store manager at a local TMobile store told me. Reason being is probably because Dads and technology go together.

Some AT&T users who are looking for the HTC One X are getting some bad news from the AT&T online store. AT&T is currently out of stock on the HTC One X at their online store. I knew that the HTC was selling good, not that good.
The HTC One X's only real competition that is available to purchase right now is.... nothing. Okay, there is one smartphone that can compete with the HTC One X right at this moment and it is the HTC One S.

Wow.
Yeah, I noticed it yesterday when I was looking for accessories on AT&T's website. AC has an article too:
http://www.androidcentral.com/att-htc-one-x-out-stock-online
I hoping they just sold out and there isn't an issue with the initial batch of phones.
Well lets just say a few days ago I was at target and the lady said they sold out so fast she never even had time to replace the plaque that had the "coming soon" shown in front of phone. So she just left it there since she couldn't keep them in stock.
Yesterday I went to look online to see which best buy had this phone in stock for a friend of mine, and out of the nearest 10 best buys around me, they were all sold out.
I think this phone even with its relatively low press coverage compared to phones like Tmobile's One S is doing really well.

Yeah, I've been checking stock elsewhere and it seems it has just been doing really well. I'm glad I went and got it when I did.
just picked mine up today just come to vermont lol
I bought mine and got lucky that I looked at it and the guy set it aside for me till launch day. Only had 2 in the store and the other was pre-ordered.
I talked to him the other day and he said people keep coming in for one.

I went to an AT&T store in downtown Washington DC the next day the One X was released ( I believe it was a Monday) and they were sold out.
It's more likely they've been taken off the shelf to push the new update that fixes WiFi and messaging.
I really doubt the phone is selling out. When I picked mine up they told me I was the first person to buy it. Sadly, all the other customers were just there for iPhones.

I went to 5 different AT&T stores yesterday trying to find a white one. Every store said the phone has been selling like crazy. Every rep I talked to was interested in the phone and wanted to buy one for personal use.
I'm glad to see this phone selling well, it definitely deserves it.

I've been to many brick-n-mortars (AT&T, Radioshack, Best Buy) looking for accessories and all the employees were asking me about it. Employees at stores that don't have "live" models on display, like RS and BB, even wanted to check my HOX out.
It's a great phone. My local store had them in stock on release day. I was in yesterday for a swap, and they still had a couple available. Even in MS this is a popular phone.

I also doubt that...as there are different time zones so it would be unfair to people on different parts of the country...some would be able to get there pre order in hours before half of the country

So I can pre-order at the actual AT&T store? Not online? Or both? And will pre order get me the phone faster than waiting for the store release? These are the questions I had.... I am on a spread out family share plan where we live in different areas of the country, will it be shipped to the main account holder address, or can I put my own address in for the pre-sale? I need an AT&T rep to answer these I think...
Im gonna call at&t tomorrow to confirm.
call att
ask them
I will be either going into a store to get it once available. I remember when the S2 came out I was able to get it the day after release but quite a few that pre ordered it didn't get it until a week after I got mine (or close to that at least). But I will be going in to check it out in person as soon as the stores have them.

the preorder page only shows the 16gb model. i hope that's wrong. anyways i called them and they say when the stores open you can preorder. if the 32gb model isn't available ill wait until it launches to buy.

Why on Earth would you pay $50 for 16 gb of additional space?
16 gb of space is currently going for $15 on Amazon (http://www.amazon.com/SanDisk-MicroSDHC-Memory-Adapter-SDSDQU-032G-AFFP-A/dp/B009QZH7BU). If you feel the need to spend the $50, then get the 64 gb card for $54.

Because the internal memory is a lot faster and I would prefer to have more of it instead of external memory. The 16GB version has about 9GB usable.
Don't know if it's "a lot faster", but whatever floats your boat.

So dig this, I had some questions that I posted towards the beginning of this thread about pre-order and nobody seemed to have any valuable response, so I just happened to be next door to an AT&T corp store just now getting coffe and I popped in and asked... here are my answers from the clerk that talked to her manager.
-Yes, presale begins tomorrow (duh)
-Yes, pricing is $200 and $250
-You can pre-order as soon as your store opens tomorroe (4-16)
-Yo can have it shipped to any address once pre-ordered
Here is the odd part of her responses.....
-As far as how soon I would be getting said S4 if I preorder tomorrow, she initially said it would ship in 3 to 5 working days... I thought GREAT, I am days away from having my new toy in the palm of my sweaty arizona hand...
Then the stab in the gut came, she dissapeared to the back for a moment to confirm this info and spoke to her manager, who coached her that she was wrong to quote me 3 to 5 working days. She proceded to inform me (according to her manager) the phone would ship the day it is released in the store in May.... My heart dropped and I said "May?" and she said "Well we don't know or can't say when it is being released yet..." So I said, "Well why did you say may then?" she said "well, whenever it does come out..." as if she slipped and was not supposed to disclose that...That was the end of the conversation.
I wanted to ask her "well what the hell is the point of pre-order then if It does not even ship until the day it releases in store?" but I didn't have the nerve and I guess I was hoping this was all a bad dream lol.....
So heres to hoping her and her manager were completly wrong or were just trying to be vague....
This guy here is on pins and needles waiting for his S4 and ready to give my trusty Infuse 4G a viking funeral
April 26th is the launch date.

That sounds pretty definitive based on a "leaked" piece of paper, I hope your right though!
have this phone for maybee 2 weeks now, and the screen cracked the 2nd day.
Ihave been looking for a new screen since then with no luck.
Found a new screen in india but i cant belive i cant find any spare parts here in EU
Any help would be aprecciated
wtf htc
I would call HTC and try to do whats called a buyers remorse and get a replacement for free it will work as long as you have had the phone less than 30 days that's what I did for my broken u12 and got a replacement overnighted for free!!!
i called but that buyer remorse thingy works probably only in america, i called in germany and i cant even send my phone to be repaired because they dont repair phones outside germany and in croatia there isnt any repair service
PS
they told me that the repair would take a month because they have to order the display from taiwan
so guys dont break your display for gods sake
Waiting for my phone now since 9th of July because they had to order parts and apperiantly they get delivered by a donkey throught Asia. It's some internal hardware and was not even my fault. Support being rude and super stupid. Never HTC again.

yes, same here, i spoke with htc support germany and the lady didnt understand half of what i was asknig
her german was very bad, only replied yes yes and kept on asking stuff writtten on her screen
terrible support
Today I got my phone back. So far it's working but it was the worse experience I ever had with any support. It was even do bad that the manager of the store where I bought it, offered me a new phone if it comes back broken again. HTC wrote down that my phone has a battery issue even though I even made a video for them. It's working so far so I am good. I wish you good luck and hopefully I comes back soon.

Does Germany have a similar organization that's here in America?
Better business bureau
Basically it's an organization you can file complaints to about a Company. They can't force the company to do anything, but they're a reputable organization. Companies would rather have them say good things about how they handled the complaint. All public image that could hinder sales.
A lot of the Htc customer service nightmares seem to happen outside the North America. I would hope that they could be pressured to perform better if enough people report it.
