Is your phone an Indian version or the european version? I mean if your CID is something like XXXXXXX720.X then its Indian else if its XXXXXXXX405.X then its european & in that case no wonder you got the 2.3.3 update. I am having an Indian version and like all other Indians I am waiting for the update
Mine is Indian Version Purchased Locally From Meerut With Bill.
There are various differences in new update:
Faster better animations (pop in/pop out).
Slightly Better Battery Life.
Better Response.
Almost 0% Lag/Slowdown.
New Theme.
Better 720p Recording, and
Slightly better sound in both headset and loudspeaker.
i also think his dealer sold him a piece imported from uk by saying that it carries indian warranty. but no biggie as htc actually provides 2 yrs international warranty for uk bought phones.
first of all evo 3d is for us only & for the time being its european alternative has not been announced. Secondly although HTC does give 2 yrs international warranty to its uk customers but not all HTC service centers in india acknowledge the same (atleast salora doesnt). Finally buying from uk is not going to save you a good chunk of money on the other hand might even cost more than it does in india especially if GBP/INR goes up.
One of my friends had purchased the desire HD from handtec in uk & got it shipped here. His total cost was 28.5k including customs. This was in Jan-11. I purchased the desire HD locally in Feb-11 & my costing was 26k
