Well i live in lebanon , im seeing the sensation online being sold for between 550$ and 650$ , while in lebanon the official htc agent is selling it for around 800$ , while other shops are selling it for 550$ and 580$ , so my question is are the cheap prices are there for a reason? should i be scared? or should i buy it for 800$?

Cheap is good. The phone is too new to be all f-ed up.

If you are giving prices in US dollars, then the $800 one is the one to be worried about. The phone does not cost $800. $500 to $600 American is on point.
go for cheap one.
I think 800$ is too much. If you don't trust the 550$ shop, you can talk with people who already bought something there - just find some discussion, forum etc.
Sounds like you are in a similar situation to us here in new Zealand. If I buy from a carrier this phone is quite a bit more expensive than using the parallel importers.
I've always gone parallel though and haven't had a faulty product yet.

You have two issues:
1- Warranty: HTC's warranty is region specific. So ig you buy it online from UK, you have to send it to HTC in UK (or Europe maybe) for repair. If you buy from local agent, you send it to him for repair.
2- Arabic language: The devices sold in Middle Esat have Arabic support. To make sure, the outside box of the phone will have specifications written in Arabic. This issue can be solved by unlocking the bootloader, Super CID (or Arabic CID) & flashing the official Arabic ROM or by using custom ROMs & then flashing Arabic files.
So its upto you.
I personaly would usualy buy from online, but when I baught my Sensation, I baught it in from Dubai (Arabic version) because it was not yet released in Europe except through Vodafone. Even when it was released, the first couple of weeks it was the same price as buying it here (with shipping added).
I live in Lebanon and bought it for $550. If you're reffering to that guy that has a facebook page and sells many brands of smartphones, then yes i bought it from him. It has the wifi deathgrip issue though. I didn't encounter any screen issues or dust under the screen.

Why should htc cruise cost £389.95 (euro 545.73) in the UK whereas should it cost euro 629 in Italy?
There are 84 euro of spread!!!!!!
I would buy it from Uk. Do you know if the device could work in Italy with for example simcard Tim?
Excuse me for my english

Since expansys is selling a no-brand device, should work also here... Probably expansys forward your request to the Italian branch so you'll pay the italian price instead of the UK's price
Hi!
I'm brazinlian boy and i'd like so much buy this phone, i have a friend that he will go back to italy i 'm thinking ask him to buy one for me...so, has anyone who knows some site(italian, expansys i already know) to buy this? in brazil, but this gadgets is a hole of ****! in Brazil doesnt have HTC and waranty goes heaven and the price very expansive!example if you would like to buy htc p3600 outside brazil you can find around $500. Here it costs around R$2000,00($more than $1000).
Sorry for my bad english
bye!

The difference in the price depends mostly on what the package include (i.e. Navigation Software). If you buy your device from expansys it is sim-unlocked to use in any network. If you buy it from somewhere else... ensure first that it is not sim locked.

iPhone is locked to AT&T who subsidizes the cost of the unit. Adding over a million subscriptions for two years of service with many of them being new services (from other carriers) just to get 'the phone'. Costs AT&T next to nothing because they are not adding infrastructure, just filling bandwidth that has been somewhat idle. . . the business model is pretty good. Apple gets their cost+profit on the sale of the device while AT&T reap service and data plan charges. They don't even effect their HSDPA bandwidth because the device is EDGE/GPRS.

Yeah I understand the kickback scheme. But the device is still sold independently of carriers (ie. Apple Stores), so you're saying over half a million unlocked devices were/are sold at cost or at a loss to Apple?

Hi,
I have bought two HTC TOUch devices (Polaris). One for Private and one for my Work Phone...I use only one of them. The other one is in his box an is not open! sealed by a strip. If you want one, I can send it to your personal adress. My price is 500 euros; 50 e lesser than I bought. the post fees are offer.
Cordialy,
information:
o2 warranty is just for first buyers. ppl who buy a 'used' (doesn matter if or not) cant send it to o2 if it has any issues. even if you have the original pay-off
thats what is written in my o2 warranty card (germany)
re
I bought my Touch cruise from Windowsonthego.com
They offer local pickup in Canada but ship worldwide.
Hope this helps,
Thanks

I bought my HTC Cruise in Singapore. The price is equal 1138 S$.
Hey I am new here
I am flying to the UK (London) in the end of May, and I wanted to ask if someone who lives in London knows any store there that sells Sim-Free HTC Phones? Basically I am asking that because I want to buy the HTC Sensation and I have only 4 days in London so I want to be prepared.
If there are several stores, I would like to hear all of them if you can or the cheapest+most reliable one (as much as possible ofcourse).
You'll have to buy if from vodophone unlocked
Sure it is possible?
And thanks for the comment.
I am not sure Vodafone sell unlocked phones. Your best bet will be any Carphone Warehouse store. All their phones are unlocked. If you ask to buy PAYG, you will save about £50 on the sim-free price but the good thing is you get the same phone you would have got if you bought it sim-free + you get a number and £10 or £20 credit to use while you are in London.
First, Thanks!
Second, I searched for the store near my Hotel and I found one really nearby so now I want to ask another question, if you have experience buying phones from them or heard something, Do they overprice? I mean here where I live I can go to the store and the price will be 800 pound and in Amazon it will be 600 pound for example.. not that huge differences but I hope you got my point.
Third, Do they get the last phones usually after they come out? because if it's said that the Sensation will come out on mid May, and I am coming on end May, I hope they'll have it by then.
Carphone Warehouse!
As far as I'm aware, Vodafone have it exclusively for May then other retailers will start selling in June, so you may be out of luck I'm afraid

Wow is radio shack still offering this special? Do you need a longer than 1 year contract?
got mine new from amazon uk, £375 but it fluctuates quite a lot
I can't find it as free @ Radioshack, but Target's got it for 100$ w/ a 2 year contract. Online and in store for this week it seems.

No idea. Its only tmobile phones. I live in Baltimore, MD and its a special at more than one shack here. I think tmobile is tryna reel in a bunch of customers before the possible merger. I saw it today so they should still be doing it. You are definitely going to need a two year contract. The offer is in-store only. Not online.
panamoz.com has it for £345, delivery to the UK is £9.99, only thing is because they are based in Hong Kong it could be the Asian version you get. Although you can still select english language on the handset so its not such a big problem.
Cheapest I can find the european version is £399 at amazon currently.
Cheers
Sadly in lebanon the HTC agent is selling it at more than 800$, he says that its more expensive cz of the 1 year limited warranty ,is this true?? i dont think so , i tried contacting HTC to file a complaint but with no luck till now , their agent is adding 100$ to 300$ on each htc phone , i cant believe how htc is letting this happen.
600 euros ( $822) here in Greece without contract!!!
Thats what im talking about!! how can htc let their agents take advantage of its possible customers like that!! unacceptable

Has this device got a planned UK release date at all? I cant find any info about when I would be able to walk into a brick and mortar shop and pick one up. It was announced 2-3 months ago, reviewed a month ago and still nothing. Its ridiculous. Same with the htc desire 820. Its like they are phantom phones. No info on expansys, cw or simplyelectronics websites. All a bit worrying.
Anyone know anything about a UK release?

Dude that is crazy. I am using the European model with 2gb and came from a z2 with 3gb and this is faster. The chinese model is problematic for UK users but if you prefer more numbers then pay extra. I paid £355 for mine and its best phone to date. I have owned loads or I would not be on xda
