Once you'ved added the HTC One X in your cart, there is a $87 discount that is automatically applied. Total cost comes out to be $588.50 usd. This is by far the cheapest I've seen the One X go for.
Possibly an Easter weekend sale? I cleared my cart and added numerous other devices and a discount was applied. The amount of discount varies between each device.
That's an amazing price.
Coupon Not Valid
The Auto-coupon for this weekend is not valid on the HTC One Series. We have disabled the coupon and are correcting this issue this morning. All HTC One Series that were ordered with this discount have been cancelled. We apologize for the inconvenience, and will have the discounts corrected and uploaded in the next 3-4 hours. Thank you for your understanding.

That's a shame. I will never be buying anything from Negri in the future. I'm glad I held out and didn't impulse buy this morning.

That's very poor customer service, the orders that were placed should be honored. The customers aren't responsible for making sure that your prices are correct. Expansys has em $5 cheaper than the regular price anyways.
Looks like an honest mistake, happens all the time. They corrected it and apologized, what more do you want? So many entitled whiny babies out there

Anyone else would have honored the orders that were completed. Took the hit and saved face as a company.
Should change their fictitious name to...

They probably got on their site statistics and saw a huge traffic increase from XDA. So they came here and to try and suppress it. Bad business practice.

I'll bet if you were one of the people that ordered one you'd be thinking a lot differently. I would expect the same from any other company, you list a price, you sell it for that price. If it's a mistake then it's your mistake and responsibility to fulfill the orders placed at that price.-
A honest mistake? No.
Even when updating their store database and pricing discounts... you have type in the discount or select it... then you have to accept or save. Some one was incompetent. A honest mistake would have been corrected before they saved the update on pricing.
Give me a break, people. A business is not required to honor a price mistake, plain and simple. You received an apology and entitled to nothing more. Stop whining already.
It's not whining. It's calling them out and stating how they should run their business. Lol.
Indeed they aren't required to honor a price mistake.
But the main reason I haven't bought from them so far is precisely because I've read similar stories over the web because many times they won't honor prices, coupons, pre-order prices or some "in stock" items not really being in stock after ordering.
Additionally they won't fix wrong and misleading information even if you report it, for example check their Optimus 2X P990H product page and you'll see that they are showing instead pictures of the slimmer Optimus Black P970H... even though I personally reported the mistake by chat months ago...

dude i was one of the victims who have placed an order and now I have to wait a ages (they said 14 days, google checkout calculation or whatever) until my funds become available to me..none of this **** would have happen if their dumbasses were careful enough to actually run their business..I have called my bank and they said to wait till mon or tue for the funds to become available..if not then they said they will file a dispute with google (i used google checkout) I will never ever use negrielectrotics period
And best of all, I'll bet 'Negri Electronics' will not even post here in response to any of us.
F*** you negri..They are holding my money for 14 days!!! How is that even possible?. I should have bought it from handtec, ****! You just lost a valued customer, actually two. Bastards

If you stay on top of it and keep it updated. Maybe they will come around and honor it.
I know for the store I work for... if something was the incorrect we would honor the price. No matter who's fault it was.
Reply?
Honestly didn't expect to have this type of response. You seem to have an issue with the way we handled this, however we are very transparent with our actions. Due to limited stock and the extremely high cost the coupon was to be excluding the newly released HTC One X. However, the coupon was set up incorrectly. Unlike other companies we came here to admit our mistake and alert you of the issue. We could have simply told you they where out of stock, and "thanks for trying", but we felt being honest and up front would be the proper way to go.
In writing the initial post we would have never thought to be called profanities and honestly never intended to anger anyone to the point of not returning to shop with us. We could choose to be like all the other companies you would rather by from, but we aren't. When we make a mistake we admit it. And our mistake was not caught by the "traffic spike" that XDA sent us, as there was none. Your post reached 2 people before we were able to alert the others. As you can see in your replies it's the same ex-customers calling the names.
There is one thing that some one should explain to you; and it will make you a better person. The companies that you speak to this way, are ran by real people just like you. Each person has a personality, feelings, and cares for you as a customer. Simply because you feel protected by your computer screen doesn't give you the right to call someone profane names and treat (whether a company or employee) Us with disrespect. There are companies out there that will do anything you want, and you can treat them however you please. This isn't one. Respect is something that is earned, not given.
There is one thing to be upset, it's another to insult someone here to update you on the situation. We understand you are angry and will not shop with us again, but others will, and be happy they received the same service you decided never to experience again.
Enjoy your holiday weekend.

Your money is held by Google Checkout for a period of 7 days. For instance, someone placed an order today at 7:54 amand their order reads Expires Apr 14, 2012 7:54:58 AM PDT. Sorry for the issue. We did not intend for it to malfunction. We will be careful in every sale we give now; which will limit the amount of sales offered.

We will address each complaint as we did these posts. We are unable to honor the coupon, and have store policies set to remind you why. Please use the Nevada BBB profile as they have yet to merge them when we relocated to Nevada.

Handtech may tolerate you speaking to them this way. Our previous post addresses your concern regarding the authorization which was taken by Google Checkout. Stock is still available and you are able to purchase still at a better price than the competition, with free shipping and no import/duties tax. I assure you, like any other company you have or will ever shop at, they will all make mistakes.

It's difficult to make everyone happy, all the time. But we do our best. We have taken your suggestion and sent to the correct department, however it has still not been corrected. Are you interested in purchase that unit, or is that just an example that you have?
Apologies for the incorrect image. Just a mistake when listed.

Does Negri charge before the products are shipped? I'm sure a lot of this could have been advert if charged when it was being shipped from the facility.

It's standard practice to cancel orders if there's a pricing mistake. Happens on Amazon and a lot of big name retailers. Dunno why you guys are making such a big deal out of it.

Hey guys,
I have been a XDA lurker for a while. I am looking at getting the P6800. I seemed to have found a site that is offering to import it at a wholesale price. It all seems fishy to me but I figured I would see what all of you had to say...
Ummmmmm
I think that website is 100% authentic. I would jump on it before they are gone!
what is the site?

You could be right, it may be an employee looking to get people talking about there products or drum up some bushiness! But they did join in 2009.
But to be fair i very rarely post as I am not as well endowed as many on here (with the skills needed for dev work that is and I don't look forward to being flamed), i have bought my device from HK, quick delivery and having followed the guidance on another forum can confirm its genuine, Samsung accepted it on my product account, tested perfect and everything people ask. The one thing I did note was the description on the package for customs, again reading elsewhere, it may get held up but the owners of the website say there paying import duty, hope this helps.
Haha, sorry guy's being new I was only allowed to post every 5 minutes or something like that. Basically I got distracted...

Oh, yeah. That's gotta be bull****.
Its so tempting. I have thought about using my credit card so it would be easier to dispute the charges if fake.
It look just enough like amazon not to get sued
did you decide to order from here in the end?
There is a zero percent chance that that is legit. The price is way too low and I'm willing to bet they don't have a good way of contacting them.
It's not worth the risk. If you really want one then look for a more reputable site.
I am still waiting for my income tax return but I have decided that I will be going with a reputable source.
Thank you guy's for your input.
Agree its not worth the risk, thanks for the input.

Of course not! The seller has no feedback and probably intended the price to be $350, not $35.
Somebody should purchase one and see if they can get it for 35 dollars

I read the description several times over, it doesn't have anything sketchy in it.
I'm thinking the guy might have screwed up and meant to put $350 CD, not $35. It's either that, or they're fake.
Wow I just saw this post and I'm like : what if it's a mistake and I have to act quickly ?
What if it's a fake and maybe paypal won't give me my money back ?
And if it's a mistake , this poor guy just lost number of sales * 325$ ... should I make it number of sales +1 ? ^^
Anyway if it's a mistake he'll rather pay you back than send it , so I guess this isn't worth a try for me

Will do man.
He's sold 90 of the 99 available.
If these are fake and he's running a scam, he'll clear $4000 probably with those 99 units lol.
Can't wait until tomorrow to find out if these clear payment and ship or I get a message saying it was a mistake. If it does ship, it's a waiting game until it gets here to see if it's legit
Or you could just do what I did, commit to buy one and don't pay. Wait for other people to confirm receipt and then pay. He probably won't open an unpaid item case anyway, and if he does, you can just talk to him before actually paying him or stall for more time.
Just bought one. Why not? Paid and all.
If it doesn't pan out, PayPal aggressively sides with the buyer. We will get our money back, guaranteed, if something is fishy.
Fun!

Yeah, it's a sloppy spec cut and paste from the Verizon version. The listing clearly says GSM though. If, by some miracle, it arrives and is Verizon, I'll open a dispute with PayPal or just verify a clean ESN and sell locally for a little dough. Win-win.

Too bad Europe has to wait because of the production delays and the USA devision of HTC which get most of the first bunch of phones. (Dont get me wrong I'm really happy for you Americans, but I aswell want this phone asap, my Desire Z is absolutely done after more than two years )

And soon everyone else will follow. The germans took them.

I really wonder why I never see anyone out of the US with a HTC smartphone, mostly droids and a whole bunch of iPhones.
Too bad Europe has to wait because of the production delays and the USA devision of HTC which get most of the first bunch of phones. (Dont get me wrong I'm really happy for you Americans, but I aswell want this phone asap, my Desire Z is absolutely done after more than two years )

If the US is getting the first batch of phones how come Pre-orders aren't open yet
If there is a delay expect to see the few people who do get one putting them on ebay at ridiculous prices.

Strange, this is what I found earlier today : http://www.gsmarena.com/htc_one_might_get_delayed_due_to_components_shortage-news-5667.php
"Even though HTC promises to launch the phone on March 15, lots of markets might not get it before May (at the earliest). HTC has already declared the USA market as a major target, so if the rumors come true it's likely that other markets might not get the smartphone for months."
How quickly do you think reviews will be up vs the notice of availability for those on pre-order list? I think most of us would like to read at least a few before taking the plunge and fulfilling the purchase. Do you think samples are already out under NDA?
So with the listing showing up on Worst Buy, are we at all close to the first official reviews? Not going to pay up on the preorder until reading at least one or two
I would have brought the phone instantly without reviews if they did not delay the release this far. Now that we will soon see a number of new phones with full display like iphone 8, huawei Mate 10, LG V30 & Note 8, i might even wait for comparison of all these phones before buying.

Time is/was not their friend.
I was willing to shell out on announcement day. Not willing to now unless I see some reviews.
I'm waiting to see what the Nokia 8 has to offer tomorrow.

Same here.....would have bought it last week if it was available...now I want to see what Nokia does with the Nokia 8
I'm 50/50 on buying it today now that I can. Previously decided to wait but having a 15-day 100% money back return policy with free return shipping is what's brought me back up to 50/50.

Yeah, got the email that it would be shipped in less than a week if I placed the order.
I don't see any cases or accessories.
Still on the fence.

There are 2 offerings for tempered glass screen protectors on Amazon. They look like they're designed for the front only but there are 3-packs so you might be able to also use one on the back side. That might help add protection for cheap until cases become available. EDIT: Just realized how stupid of an idea this is with the fingerprint reader and cameras on the back side.
I really wish there was some kind of protection built in to prevent glass from breaking. Without that, the drop protection by the titanium body is fairly limited.
There's still too much I don't know about this - like, does it even come with earbuds?

Doubtful since the device doesn't have the headphone jack.

Yeah I know, but I would assume that they're pushing for wireless otherwise why remove the jack at all. Providing ear buds wouldn't make sense. The adapter I would argue is just to appease those who do not want to shell out the money to pick up wireless ones

Actually the website shows what's in the box and sadly no headphones
Nice video & review
Just saw a good review and video on PH-1 here.
A few "preliminary/hands-on" reviews have popped-up: in addition to Engadget AndroidCentral and AndroidAuthority have them, and The Verge have what seems to be a full review. Guess embargos have been lifted.
I emailed Essential Support some very serious, IMO, questions, I'm waiting on the answers before shelling out the $700...
