So CTC will decrease its price too ;)
But the fact that they only bring i9500 and not i9505 is a huge mistake

The NFC included antenna is a back cover which is sold separately. Check with CTC.

no they don't have it separately
and just in case they have.. it's supposed to come normally with the phone like every other country's s4's

Re: Amhaz (Stars Communications) shop

If I'm not mistaken, the cover with the antenna is sold separately for about 30$. The chip comes with the phone, but I think the antenna is separate. I could be wrong, I got this info before the phone was released.

It does have LTE support! :)
You need however to unlock bootloader and root to be able roll back to old radio (baseband) to be able to get LTE. Snapdragon Krait Pro has LTE chip built-in!
That's what I did, of course we still need LTE coverage and APN settings etc...
Now all the foundation is there :)

I don't understand what do you mean by NFC antenna... My S4 has NFC working perfectly with my tags.

the snapdragon PRO APQ8064 used in the nexus 4 does not have cellular data build in, it is up to LG ... This was an issue and Google announced that they do not support LTE, seems not all frequencies are covered with the cellular chip installed ...

Re: Amhaz (Stars Communications) shop

The price of the HTC one at Amhaz dropped by 100$ in 8 days accordeing to the pricelist of 12/7/2013 on their website!

What is the reason behind this sharp price reduction while the S4 conserved its price?

The One was in shortage for a long time,now it's more available perhaps,but are you sure about drop of 100$?
I saw it raised to 780$ this week while it was at 750$ last week
