HTC One: update availability in Italian stores - HDblog (Blog)

Starting today, HTC One starts to reach store shelves Italian, as previously announced by HTC Italy . So, we have conducted an audit of the major Italian retailers and mobile operators engaged in trading of the terminal, to assess the state of the distribution.

premise that the terminal can be bought on the net, taking advantage of the various proposals to store more or less known, but we understand that, on the one hand, there are many users who decide to purchase the product online, perhaps using the opportunity to buy a model with a European guarantee for a lower price, there are many who, having to support an outlay challenging, prefer to touch the terminal point of going to a physical store.

At the time of writing the situation in major electronics chains Italian with physical outlets (who also operate online) is as follows:

• class=”c7″> Marco Polo Expert – terminal present in the catalog but not available – HERE – price 689 €
• Mediaworld-terminal present in the catalog with arrival date from mid-May – HERE – price 699 €
• Unieuro – terminal absent in the catalog – HERE
• Saturn – terminal absent in the catalog – HERE
• Euronics – terminal present in the catalog but not available – HERE – price equal to 699 euro

Regarding telephone operators

• class=”c7″> TIM – terminal present in the catalog and available – HERE – price 699 €
• Italy 3 – terminal absent in the catalog – HERE
• Vodafone – terminal absent in the catalog – HERE
• Wind – terminal absent in the catalog – HERE

Assuming that the above data are based on surveys carried out by the corporate websites of the respective store and that the situation may be changing at this time the individual stores, we see an almost total absence the device in the main shops and via the operators. The only exception is represented by TIM showing the terminal as available.

These are the cheapest of the chains that sell product with warranty and Italy via physical outlets. expanding the search field to store that sell primarily online also models with European guarantee we have:

• class=”c7″> Expansys – terminal available on request – price equal to 699 Euros – available in both silver, and black – HERE
• Computermemory – terminal present in the catalog – price equal to 629 euro (from the Germans) – poor availability – HERE
• Eprice – terminal present in the catalog – price equal to 669 € – in booking – HERE
• redconn – terminal present in the catalog – price equal to 699 – in booking with black color – HERE
• Amazon – terminal present in the catalog – price equal to 689 (origin Germany) – sold by outside vendor – few pieces available – HERE

A situation, therefore, still be improved also by examining the offerings of the online store and models with European guarantee.

Italy Recall that HTC has stated that shipments will begin “starting from May 10,” so do not be surprised if it will be necessary to wait a few days.

In our surveys we consulted with major retailers operating in our market and we believe that online retailers sufficiently reliable. You can use the comments to report the availability in other stores, and the actual presence of the terminal in the physical store chains mentioned.

UPDATE: with pleasure Here are some photos that have been popularized recently by HTC Italy via the official Facebook site. Photos that give a more concrete dimension to the deployment procedure that is in place at this time with data from the individual outlets. As can be seen in some store chain Marco Polo Expert, the terminal has already arrived. The photos were taken at Misano and Legnano. HTC Italy was, therefore, speech seen that the terminal is actually starting to reach in shops from today. Do not forget to continue to report the actual availability in stores.
