I must say that I would consider to buy a hardware wallet because I heard that a hardware wallet is pretty secure.
This is because of the fact its a offline wallet and cannot almost not get hacked..

Hardware wallet or online wallet, they have both disadvantages and advantages it will just depend on the
user of bitcoin of how he will going to take care of his hard earned bitcoins.

True, completely true, but i do think it's the community's task to educate new users about the advantages and disadvantages of different types of wallets.
I'd never recommend an online wallet, so i try to give all the pro's and con's about these kinds of online wallets (pro = easy accessible and small learning curve; con = you don't have your private keys with you, so you're basically not in controll of your coins). In the end it's still the user's choice.

I wish trezor had an android app and came with an otg cable

that's good idea,OTG cable is good solution for people who have big capacity of data,and if hardware wallet support with otg cable,i think its will have higher price,because otg cable will give us benefit to only bring smartphone and Trezor without bring laptop or computer. lets wait until hardware wallet have that feature.

I don't think i would buy a hardware wallet because it isn't secured enough.
That's why i don't want a hardware wallet every hacker can steal your coins and you are
not able to get them back because you don't have any warranty on your coins.

Its in my opinion very secure if you ask me because its offline, no hacker can achieve it to hack something that is offline...
A hardware is in my opinion pretty good to be honest.

That's true its secure and its offline, no hacker that hacked your hardware wallet. But also the thing is,
What if you lost your hardwallet? What if someone stole it to you? All things have its different disadvantage, it will be good depending the one that will use it.

Nothing is possible for hackers even its a hardwarewallet but its less risk.. if you hardware wallet target by hackers it can be possible to hack unless you are not using internet.. and all of your bitcoin transaction are offline..

I don't have any idea to buy a hardware wallet and it's not available in my place. And I had give it a try if I found more merchants in my area.

Could you share your country/continent and payment options? A couple of those vendors deliver worldwide, some accept BTC, others also accept different payment options like PP.

I'm from North India, Tamil nadu and this is my area pin code: 606402.

Actually I don't have idea to buy right now, may be near in future as I didn't use Bitcoin much right now.

Indeed, maybe you can and I also can recommend you this because its very secure and also very easy.
I in the overall experience think its a okay thing to invest in.

umm. I also read about hardware wallets, I may try them later.

If you ever decide to buy one, i just looked it up, and those ledgers are even cheaper when you buy them from India... Very strange, i payed more for a ledger sent within the EU as you would have to pay to get it shipped from the EU to india.

I'm sorry, but are you talking about a hardware wallet? Why wouldn't they be secure?
With a hardware wallet, your private keys are not accessible from the web, nor from a pc. They are stored on the hardware wallet itself, i think that's pretty secure. Worst thing that can happen is one of those virusses that replaces the address you want to send coins to when you copy/paste it from a mail or a website. But this risk is equally big with any kind of transaction you want to generate, so you always have to double-check.

I would not buy it till using bitcoin in our country will be same legal as cash.
I needn't evidence that I use Bitcoin or other e-currencies, while this can be used against me.
HW wallet hard to hide or destroy quickly Roll Eyes

Which country are you from? Most countries i know off don't seem to care about bitcoin, as long as you pay taxes on your deals

Russia, Ukraine, no matter, same law problems.
If you just use emoney to pay few times a month few dollars - nobody cares.
But if you use e-currencies in your business - take care of yourself.
I'm use them about 12 years, and, believe me, it was better, when most clerks don't know what is wm (btc etc.).
Now they know, but in their heads it's synonym of money laundering, unpaid taxes etc. No restrictions against BTC, WM directly yet (but in process). But small business has laws that say: you can accept cash and wire transfers only. Big companies has more complex laws and more tax audit too.

I most likely will although I heard some good and bad things about it and I also heard its bad in some cases but I honestly would not care.
Its still much safer than a normal wallet.

I would not buy it till the expansion of bitcoin and the proliferation of hacker attacks to the regular users. I think it is reasonably secure to hold wallets just in your pc right now.
