Dear Droidites and DHDites dont take it for Granted if any local vendor or a blog says 10 more days or 15 more days, you can never be sure 95% of such info is pure rumor with unknown sources
I am trying to find a DHD and a DZ vendor in Pune and Got a lead will share if anything develops.
cheers

. My guess is that after HTC Desire HD is out in the world, probably HTC would push all the rest of the 'HTC Desire' stock to India
. If HTC India has to bring the 'HTC Desire HD' in a very good price range, it has to be around <= 30,000 INR which seems unlikely as 'HTC Desire' is already 28,000 INR. 
hey punk_19 hows things going on wht ur new DHD ?
btw can u pls confirm you ordered this pack --> HTC Desire HD + Free, Cradle, Case and Charger Pack #99HLZ001-00_BUN1 - eXpansys UK or just the phone ...
any luck wht ur wifi working and anymore issues etc so far ...
) is 499.99 GBP (excluding shipping cost) with expansys code - http://www.expansys.com/htc-desire-hd+free-cradle-case-and-charger-pack-204815/ 30 in stocks .. whereas HTC Desire HD alone without any free stuff is also costing 499.99 GBP (excluding shipping cost) from the same website yet having different expansys code 100 in stock ...

But, now expansys have increased the price by ~75 GBP whether you want the goodies or not

. So, I am going to book HTC Desire HD this week either from Netherlands or UK ? Suggest me buying from which country would be better?
Would be better if you could provide links of good e-retailers of Netherlands.did thought about milestone 2 too lately but its root isnt cracked yet so no custom roms=bad
My preference: Milestone 2 (value for money) >> Desire (coz its HTC) >> Galaxy S (coz its Samsung)

Punk paid only 425 GBP for the phone (& 22 GBP for shipping to India). This means:
1. HTC Desire HD's price has gone up since 10-15 days - I thought I will go only for phone (& not the freebies/goodies) in less than 425 GBP becasue I only want the phone & would like to pay only for the phoneBut, now expansys have increased the price by ~75 GBP whether you want the goodies or not

2. Goodies are not free as they are claimed by Expansys.
Anybody agree/disagree with me ?
If someone can't wait for HTC Desire HD, could you guys please suggest which of these 3 smartphones should I go for Desire or Galaxy S or Milestone 2?My preference: Milestone 2 (value for money) >> Desire (coz its HTC) >> Galaxy S (coz its Samsung)
Everyone knows aboutDesire. (alongwith bill and warranty as you buy it in India) ~ 28,900 INR.
Milestone 2 - 550 MHZ processor, 3.7", 480X854 capacitive touch, 256 MB RAM, 8MP camera with Xenon flash, HD recording, HDMI port, Life-time free navigation from moto-nav & free maps from mapsmyindia, 1390 mAh battery, HTML5 browser & probably support to Flash 10.1 too, alongwith bill and warranty as you buy it in India ~ 27,490 INR.
Galaxy S - 1 Ghz processor, 4", 480X800 AMOLED touch, 568 MB RAM, 5MP camera with no flash, HD recording, HDMI output (though you need to buy 50$HDMI cable through microUSB), 1500 mAh battery, alongwith bill and warranty as you buy it in India ~ 28,000 INR.
no da price is same..its 499.99 GBP with vat ..u wont hav to pay vat if u r importing it to India..as soon as u select rest of world in the "delivering to" section, da price wil be updated to 425 GBP ..
Doesn't this means other websites might be offering just 'HTC Desire HD' a lot less than 425 GBP.
And then, we can easily buy other accessories like Cradle, screen protector, cover .. 
@Rad304 - Good.Doesn't this means other websites might be offering just 'HTC Desire HD' a lot less than 425 GBP.

guys..
jus got an email from expansys sayin that the fone has been shipped...
it shd b here soon i hope...
cnt w8 to get my hands on it...
Njoy!!!!!!!!!!!!!
All like dream come true. Does this means that expansys has cleared their orders till 17th Nov ? Raises my hope that I may also get it delivered quickly ? 
jus got d fone... whoaaa.. its awesome!!!!!!!!
dunno abt d grey mkt...
i got it in 35K inclusive of everything...
33K d bank charged me for the entire money xfer... n 2200 ws d duty..
dunno it mayb a couple of grands expensive.. but seems worth it...
so many features.. m a 1st tym android user n m feelin a bit dumb tbh.. loads to learn..
Cheers!!!!!
But I myself have spoken to custom officers (made few trips to broad) and general rule is anything brought from abroad above 25,000 INR attracts import/customs duty. 


@Btrivedi...
yea as stated above.. the DHD still costs 425gbp.. once u select the country for delivery India or any other outside Europe.. the 75gbp VAT is waived.. so no worries here...
when u buy from expansys.. trust me you want the free goodies.. they are really good.. especially the USB Cradle.. its really handy...
again milestone 2 has a 1GHz processor...
once you place your order with expansys you can cancel it anytime before they ship it to u.. once it is shipped you cannot cancel the order.. u wil get an email abt the same once the order has been shipped...
, 'Milestone2 has 1 Ghz'
and 'Cradle is definitely nice
'. But, if phone has been ordered but not shipped yet, what is the cancellation fees/policy? (should have searched on expansys myself but you are an expert here
)@Btrivedi...
the HTC Desire with Android 2.2 installed with bill in mumbai is for 27.9K.. and tbh i wd go for the HTC.. i have seen all these 3 fones side by side.. and the build quality of HTC is out of this world.. d camera n screen myt b a tiny bit better on oder fones.. bt d desire looks lyk a 27K fone unlike d oder 2... and for me HTC is the Android king..
Samsung.. buggers give u a plastic back wit no flash for arnd 27K.. motorola.. nt really a fan of it...
but if u really cannot wait.. i'd say jus go n hv a look at al 3 handsets in some big outlet like Chroma or something.. u will b able to decide urself.. me personally wd have gone for the desire..
, with all India maps free with lifetime free navigation with HDMI port, 16GB of phone memory
). Galaxy S has issues like Mic, default compass app doesn't works at best, GPS bit flakey, not-a-real HDMI port, no LED flash, buggy KIES.
So, at the moment, I have changed my preference to -
@punk_19 -
All right with 'waiving of VAT', 'Milestone2 has 1 Ghz'
and 'Cradle is definitely nice
'. But, if phone has been ordered but not shipped yet, what is the cancellation fees/policy? (should have searched on expansys myself but you are an expert here
)

.. it is bound to have Indian navigations too... n y do u need navigations wen u hv maps is wat i feel... u can even dwnload a map of india from HTC for free to b used offline.. i have to download it yet.. cos its quite huge.. arnd 200MB..
