This is what I got from them today: And they say international shipping is 1 - 3 weeks. I don't know why it took them 6 days to ship the order, but oh well, let's wait now.

Hmmm.... and here I was getting all optimistic that it was going to be the black model based on flipkart. :(

It's still not available in Delhi. The dealer I spoke to who was apparently going to get stock Friday evening is now saying Monday. btw HTC India had told me this on Friday too - that all their retailers should have stock on Monday. Let's see now - all in all someone in HTC India deserves a...

In the 10-15 minutes I have used the SGS, the things that stood out to me about Touchwiz were that the icons were bland and iPhone-ish, the 3D vertical scroll in menus was cheesy and very unpolished, the horizontal scrolling between different panes was tedious (as compared to the the pinch and...

Both seem to be kickass phones, but to sum up whatever has been said here and elsewhere in an analogy, the Galaxy S is a Ferrari engine in a Maruti esteem body, whereas the Desire is a Mercedes engine in a Mercedes body. You cannot go wrong with either, and you cannot say that A is better than...

^ Twebsite does shown the brown Desire, and moreover since that is what is sold in 95% of the world, that's what one would have imagined to be sold here, but this is what flipkart tells me: I guess it's only a matter of a day or two now for us to find out, but if it is black in colour that...

^ nice! So it's in stock? Too bad you didn't wait though! But I am sure you will be more than happy with the Galaxy S. Btw can you confirm with your dealer what colour the HTC Desire is available in? Flipkart are repeatedly assuring me that it's in black and it's official and has Indian...

@motorheadinc: Where have you been? Haven't you heard about the power of simplicity? Because in their dictionary simplicity means having to train your brain to another keypad layout.

Well, either they are wrong on the colour, or maybe it means that HTC India is releasing Black coloured Desires in India? Plus, if it is a legit place as many are saying, one would expect that they would not outrightly lie in a e-mail. Tomorrow if I buy the phone from them, and it turns out to...

^ I got that immediately on placing the order. I was asking if anyone has got this e-mail with tracking info they mentioned or any such communication at all.

^ don't trust grey market dealers, especially ones on ebay. Would rather trust a friend / relative to carry it themselves. Plus that one is a locked model with some weird jugaad. I would want an unlocked piece. Back to the Desire - Got this reply from Flipkart: How did they manage to get...

Has anyone who has ordered got any update? Apart from the receipt, I have not got any e-mail from them since. Now it's been 3 days.

Update: This is what I got back from HTC Asia: Maybe it's time to start figuring out who I can find to get me a Dell Streak from the U.S..... :(

I think it's seriously weird that there is no news on either the HTC India site, or the Tata Docomo site, and yet sites like androisos.in, techtree.com, fonearena.com are reporting that the Desire has been launched, and moreover quoted this fabled press release (for which none of them give any...

It's fugly to begin with! Looks like a plastic iPhone knock off! If I would buy it, the only other alternative would be to get a full body invisible shield thing, and then stuff whatever space there is in the battery compartment with something to give it more weight! --- Updated Post -...

^ don't think that the Desire will be available in the market. So far there are no reports of actual retail units available at dealer. If you are in a hurry, then it looks like Galaxy S for you! btw there are some decent cases for it called zenus cases or something like that - apparently made...

The amazon link does not work anymore. Besides what does a launch date of 15th Sept translate into in terms of the actual retail launch in the market? And when would the phone actually be available in India? HTC India doesn't have a very good track record!

^ really? Could you post some links? btw it's still not available in the market (in Delhi at least), and according to one dealer (warning: rumour) HTC is changing it's national distributor, so even if the shipment has reached India, it may take time for the actual retail pieces to reach the...

^ Another thing is that they are advertising the black version, which is not very common and only available in the UK AFAIK, which makes me think it's a grey piece. Also, they themselves state that it would only ship 7 - 9 days afterwards. Hopefully that means by that time it would anyway be...

Never heard of flipkart before Don't know if the product is the officially launched Desire or grey market one Don't know if they actually have it in stock or would charge your credit card first and then say, "oh we don't have stock - we'll deliver it to you as soon as possible" There's always...
