iG Exclusive : HTC Desire HD, INDIA, Price or Rumor
Well we have this information for some time now and, the reason, we were refraining to post it, we couldn’t verify the authenticity of the report.
The Upcoming HTC Desire HD is Set to launch on 10 Dec 2010 or sooner. But, pricing information is yet to be released. A week back, iGyaan got an inside tip the the Desire HD would be priced competitively, How Much You ask?
Well, we did a bit of digging around and it appears that HTC is planning to take the market with storm Next year : 2011: Their strategy is to drop quality phones at prices you wouldn’t expect. The Result: a strong and deadly blow to competition (read: Samsung, Motorola and even the iPhone).
Two different Sources at HTC confirmed, that with a new process of build technology exclusive to HTC’s products, their three new facilities in China were able to churn out more devices at a seeming less cost. (“Tell us the price already”, You say?).
Now we still weren’t able to confirm on pricing, But, after talking to 11 different representatives at HTC and several marketing and distribution channels, we found out whats written below.
The HTC Desire HD will have a box MRP. of 34,000 INR. But, that means it will sell for cheaper, much cheaper. Two of those 11 execs said that HTC plans it to be sub 30K, a couple others said even as low as 27,000 INR. Delhi Distribution channels confirmed this, But added, “Most likely the phone will be launched at a higher price, say 33-34K, but within 10 days HTC plans to bring it to sub-30,000 Price.”
So, if this device does launch at Rs. 27,000 , folks, this will definitely be a game changer from HTC! And if it launches at 33-34K our recommendation is wait it out till hype drops and so will the price.
But, can we truly wait another 10 days, we think not?
