okay im so damn lost , why Microage doesnt give the price over the phone?i asked if its more than 700$ and he said yes , and he said not to buy from others (who are selling it at around 550$) because they are fake non htc made phoens , and they have no arabic at all and without a warranty , so what should i do!! amhaz or microage , is it true what he said or hes just scaring me , what is the benefits of the warranty , i heard its limited , meaning if there is something wrong in the phone made by the company , so if i buy from amhaz a phone with a problem in it , i cannot return it? some advice please. and if anyone has bought a sensation from amhaz , please share your experience.
And if i decided to buy it , how much is the 16 gbs card , and how much is the 32 gbs , does it come with a 8 gbs card? can i exchange it for one of the the other 16 or 32 cards and pay the difference?
and i want to buy an extra battery and a cover , how much do they cost?

Mine came with 4gb only, dunno why!
It depends on the bunch they bring from Asia, generally phones coming from south Asia have 1/2 less memory, even mp3 players are like that in these regions!
In Lebanon you get 16gb for 30~45$ class4 depending on the shop and brand, in the USA you pas the same BUT you get a class 10 16gb, meaning waaaaaay faster.
Of course 32gb in the US are between 25 and 35$ + they are mainly made in the US while here we get the chinese made, you have good chance to have a faulty one even with reputable brands

Less than a month ago, a friend and I went to MicroAge shopping for a phone. The Sensation was for 900$. My friend ended up buying the Incredible S, which was for 750$. I doubt the prices have changed much by now.
His phone came in its proper box, with a 8GB memory card, and with Arabic support and a warranty.
Personally I'd go with MicroAge, even with their relatively high prices.
You might think to yourself "meh, how often will I need the warranty?" Here's the thing. With my previous and current phones, that is to say, small Nokia dumbphones and a basic Sony Ericsson "old style" smartphone, I've never needed a warranty because they are durable, tough devices.
But these new phones that are coming out... they're a lot more fragile, with all that glass and compact interiors. And they're also much more complex, software wise. Which means the chances of something going wrong are higher. So I'd rather pay more and know I have some coverage for a while.

Had 3 different HTC already and never a single hardware fault, bugs are roms related only, that's why I preffer HTC over other brands, they are high quality made!
Having 8gb instead of 4gb and arabic doesn't justify the 350$ difference, go and buy a new 8gb for 20$ as I did and install for FREE arabic rom from xda ;)
This is better than SE and nokia old phones because you can take out all your software bugs in just changing a rom, anyway I don't recommend warranty because you will lose it if you root your phone(all the interest of Android btw)

You can get Arabic support for 50$, The price difference is huge between MicroAge and other resellers. For nearly 120$ you can change your screen when broken (The warranty doesn't cover for such issues anyways).
The only danger is when you buy it for 750USD and the phone won't start. You should always buy your phones from a cell phone that deals with Amhaz, better than Amhaz directly. This way if it doesn't turn on you can have your subdealer deal with Amhaz and co.
