      The pricing has to be competitive to beat the so many China phones with similar specs.

                For this price this mobile will blow off its competitors
                For India It will be definitely in sub 20k range.No body can match HTC design and ergonomics

                              Price is good, but people here in India are not aware of this brand. They will accept you as a premium phone owner only if the body of the phone is having those big letters 'SAMSUNG' written on it. Otherwise all the other phones are considered as chinese or indian brands which are copied substitutes, and you brought it because you dont have enough money to afford Samsung. If you travel in a local train here u can see all are holding big phones in their hands and others will peep only to the name written on it. Once it is anything other than Samsung, they will look at u as if you are a sub standard guy. Its a fact.! So HTC please market ur self well.

I thought they'd sell it for a lot more but looks like HTC has learned the lesson... I'd also expect cool price drops on other desire phones given the price they put on this.

                                      For $50 more you can get a Nexus 5. They need to lower its price to $199 to be competitive.
