1st batch QC issues?

Yes and no. AP sets are here in limited quantities. Official release should be either by this week or next week.

Interestingly, the HTC One is priced lower than the Butterfly in India and Taiwan. Not sure about other countries though.

Lol, this sounds fun!!!

Expected date of delivery for your pre-orders?

The 64GB version usually should come in by the end of May I think.

Lol, first batch guinea pigs already taken by Singapore. This made my day. LOL.

It is a notable problem with the first batch of production units. Late March units have noticeable less problems. So if Malaysia were to get units that were made in late March or in April, the build issues should MOSTLY be resolved

Haha, nice

Isn't the apps drawer still page by page? The difference is that it scrolls vertically now instead of horizontally.

Owh, and regarding the power button, I've not played with an actual unit yet. All I've done is read tons of information on Xda and watched videos from youtube about the phone.

But that's a common complain about the phone. I guess it all comes down to familiarity and expectations. Since previous phones have their power buttons protrude a bit more.

But since reading all the comments, I've pretty much accepted that the power button is almost flush with the phone. It will be a change from the usual norm. So I guess it all depends on whether you can accept it with an open mind or not

I can confirm that it was manufactured on April 2013, the exact date I'm not too sure. I didn't really study the serial code in detail. So does your phone have any manufacturing defects such as minor gaps?

That's the media launch mate

At the media launch I would presume

Yeah, sorry mate. Wrote wrong. What I meant was they're gonna announce the date for the sale of the phone at the media launch

Right, that's the media launch. Any information on the location?

That sounds nerdy, but fun. Haha

Considering today is the 24th, if stock arrives on the 5th of May, then that would only be 11 days away. Ahhhh!! Should I pre-order at senQ too? Or wait for the shops like directd, satu gadget and seven mobile to bring in stocks?

No no, I mean when the official local ori stocks arrive which should be priced at RM2299 or lower since those shops needs to be competitive and aggressive with their pricing. The problem is, they have not released any info on stock arrival whereas senQ has an estimate.

Add on the fact that Nokia just won a case against ST electronics which produces the dual membrane microphones in the HTC One, effectively banning sales of the component for the next 1 year, members at Xda are all going haywire over the availability of 'good HTC One' over the next few weeks. They're kinda worried that newer batches may ship with... less impressive mics. I'm sure HTC bought some stock at hand, just not sure how much.

So the pre-order at senQ is beginning to look really tempting right now. I think I'll wait till the media launch on Thursday at Tropicana City then only would I decide

Plus I was at the HTC Malaysia's contest on Monday night and just now. Did not win the phone, but held a black HTC One for a while and it felt....... really really good. Fits nicely into your hand. Feels smooth too. Made me more excited for the phone

But I do agree with you on "it's painful but kinda fun". Just the uber long wait has made it a lil' too painful and a lil' less fun than it should have been though. If you get what I mean

Most staffs(Not all) are pretty darn useless when it comes to information or customer service. The internet is your best friend when it comes to finding news and great deals as well as what is best for you

That's good to know that senQ/senheng will be tier 1 this time. Coz I vividly remember that the other retailers as aforementioned got their stocks for the One X last year way before senQ/senheng got theirs. I remember coz I bought mine from one of them really early on at RM1888 when the RRP was RM2199 I think. Only later did I started seeing the One X in senQ/senheng.

Guess it's different this year, coz the retailers seem to be clueless up till now

So.... the guy who was criticised a lot over his not so awesome review of the HTC One also did the review for the Samsung GS4 and at the end of the review, his verdict was that.... he's leaning more towards the HTC One
