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.

make sure it's not a lemon though

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.
Was just outbid BNIB simlocked @ £285.59
Weird thing is i saw a BNIB Bravo Desire sell for £270 yesterday so a Sensation goes for a mere £15 more than a Desire!

Well it's a auction. So it's more luck that the people that really want that product are bidding on it.
But if I am correct you can unlock the sensation very easy
True, it's just the prices on ebay at times make no sense to me, i quite often see stuff going for within £10-20 of the shop price. My Desire was ~£280 over a year ago so £270 far too high for me
Also allot of scammers and no payers on ebay. So its not all what it seems.

Touch wood by only buying from people with 100% Positive feedback and a lot of feedback i've had no problems, but if you buy cheap sd-cards and batteries i think you're just asking for problems
Yeah got 1 £285 "only used 1 week" seems reasonable given the price i paid for a Desire ~ 1 year ago was similar
i have bought on ebay my new htc sensation for 385 euro are 3hg austria locked but the seller have rooted and unlocked for me
After a month of research I have finally settled to buy a HTC One s, I plan on importing a HTC One s from America with the help of my brother but dunno where to purchase an unlocked Htc One s I checked in ebay.com and have found big set of good deals But I would be very much interested to do some research over this area also to find where I can grab a One s for a cheaper price. Please suggest me some good online websites or local stores to buy.
P.S: my bro stays at Santana

Hello,
do somebody know if its possible to buy a sealed, unbranded and new HTC One SV LTE (Blue)? I have this phone, but unfortunately the glass is cracked. But my former seller will refund me the money for this devices because they couldn't deliver it anymore. I´m ordered to devices (they where offered as the LTE-Version) from two independent shops within th UK, but both sent me the none-LTE-Version.
If somebody know a shop, where i can buy this phone he would help me a lot.
Thanks,
Andi
