Ordered mine today should be with me soon.
Although once the misses finds out i'm done for!!
Yes me too. Got mine from devicewire (still have about 60 in stock if anyone wants one), but then due to a misunderstanding with Clove found out that they are also sending me one out and have already charged my card! Not sure if its coming tomorrow as well, if not I'm hoping I can cancel. I'm not even sure I can afford to go home and be killed by my missus. Still, what she doesnt know wont hurt her. Just need to sell my eee pc and HTC S730 that I bought last week now.
So Clove actually have stock now? They haven't updated their website.
Time to dig out the credit card - I'm also gonna get in trouble for this with the wife...

Yeah they have stock although not sure if its for people who have already pre-ordered. Devicewire.com do have 60 free stock (available to everyone). Luckily as I work in mobile technology I can claim that my many devices are 'from work'.
I also have two on order, one from clove and one from expansys-usa. I think the clove will get here first and then I can cancel the one from expansys. This will be the second from expansys that I have canceled.
Managed to cancle my Clove one although wish that had come first as it was cheaper.
....Just got a call from reception - theres a box waiting for me! Yipee! Only a year of waiting.. Thats my night sorted...no doubt speak to you lot later!:
Mines turned up as well, except i'm in London, and its at home!!
Misses threw a double wobble as usual, good job I not there really!!
She'll have got over it by tonight.
HTC Shift in a London Store (INKINO again!!!)
Just a quick heads-up. Inkino have their stock in and also have one HTC Shift out on demo. It is better then I expected. Surfing was very quick and they let me try it with my SIM card so that there was no 'smoke and mirrors'. There is a nice protective case in the box too. The actual box looks like a big box of chocolate so sneaking it past the missus should be a breeze....
I witnessed 5 going out of the door whilst I was there so it is safe to say that this is going to be a hugely popular machine. Any voicecall hacks yet??
For those who are not aware, Inkino are at 48 Tottenham Court Road and 9 Great Russell Street in Central London and also at www.inkino.co.uk I have no business connection with these guys apart from being an addicted customer who appreciates the old-school style of service.
Well I just pulled the trigger with Devicewire, should be with me tomorrow.
Let's see if Citylink couriers can mess this delivery up, like they do with most of my Ebuyer purchases.....
Just a question for all of those people who pre-ordered online at Rogers.com. When you finish pre-ordering, you should have gotten a confirmation email. Did you get any other emails like a shipping with a tracking number?
I got the confirmation email and that's it. I was just wondering if others is the same as me.
Thanks
Yeah I preordered on april 6. Got a confirmation number in an email right away. I called today and so far no tracking numbers are available. I am waiting till dinner time and Im going to try again. I just want this phone so bad
How did you order it? Every time I try to port my number from Fido it gives me an error. Rogers gives me some BS on the phone and I give up. I think they are goign to show up in the stores on Friday but noone knows. Total bloody incompetence with Rogers once again.

Im adding a line instead of porting over (and keeping the second line to shorten the time between upgrades) but a rep told me you could preorder now and finish up the port after you get the phone. BUT beware Rogers reps are full of bs and you will get different answers everytime you call.
Yea, the rep told me to pre-order with a new number and when I get the phone, phone them and do the port over then.
It just bothers me that there is a possibility of getting the phone AFTER it launches (April 15, 2010). If so, then what's the point of me pre-ordering other than getting the bt headset for free.

What?? If I get it after the 15th I am going to s**t bricks. And people are dissappointed with SE's delays. Its seems like a match made in heaven SE and Rogers lol.
PS: did you see the fine print? Your going to have to wait an additional 2-4 weeks for delivery of the headset.
Sou you get the bluetooth only if you preorder?
And only before April 15?
Yea well HOPEFULLY we all get it ON or BEFORE the 15th. Anyday after that would be stupid. The Rogers stores will probably have it on the 15th since I read some article stating that the phone is shipping to stores. If that's the case, that means even though we preordered, we won't be the first ones to get it =(
Hopefully we get the tracking number soon....
Well, at least you will get the bluetooth for free which means around 70$ saved
I talked to a store today in Calgary here that had a rep in at the time and they said the phones were in shipment right now to the stores for Friday (as stated before). I would rather order it online for the headset but am worried about a delay. You would think you would get it SOONER that way, especially considering they said order it by the 9th for delivery on the 12th LOL. Oh Rogers.
I talked to one of the rep at rogers and they told me they are getting it next month O_O
lol that's totally wrong..
But yea.. I guess the idea of pre-ordering is so that you WILL get it on launch day at least.

Haha, this is good ... for me at least ... i'll have time to decide if is worth to pay 550 + tax to get it.
So I just spoke with a supervisor and he said that he promised me it would be in my hands by this friday. I asked him why I would preorder just so I could get it after everyone else. He responded that for preordering we are getting a $10 activation credit and the headset for free and locking in a "supposedly" better price. And they also said I would get emailed a tracking number as soon as its available. Got my fingers crossed it comes this week!
nice! thanks gavriel18 for the update!
Got a question for you guys again. When you preordered, it asks how you want to ship. It gives you 3 options:
Canada Post
UPS
Saturday service
Which one did you pick? I chose UPS.
lucky for you guys , i dont think i can preorder cause im doing hardware upgrade( only able to do hardware after april 15 ) o_o.. Hmm i should try calling and see what they can do
No prob Tri3dent, I think we're all squirming to get this phone.
And azn youre the lucky one because youre probably going to get your phone first even though I ordered mine within 24 hours of the preorder site going up.
Hey guys, just called into Rogers and they already have the tracking number in their systems. I still haven't received my tracking EMAIL but I do have the tracking number. I will be getting it tomorrow!
Nice what day did you place the order? I didnt get the email yet but Im calling now. Thank you for the update!!
Hey gavriel18, I placed my order on the same day as you. Your phone should be on your way now!
Engadget is reporting that Sprint has sold out on their initial stock of EVO's for their stores and online, and likely BestBuy and The Shack.
Great news eh?

Every store in Houston sold out within 15 minutes. I was able to convince a best buy employee to give me some poor other guys preorder...

you must have done some pretty serious convincing...
Checked the Sprint link...
Here was the message
"Sorry, this device is so hot we can't keep it on our virtual shelves.
Check back later - more are on their way!"
Man, I just ordered mine yesterday online and it arrived today (free overnight shipping) ...Phew, that was close!
i had called up 3 different sprint stores and this is what i was told
store 1: sold out, will get new shipment either friday or tuesday
store 2: sold out, taking deposit to reserve one (45 people already on list)
store 3: had few in stock (Silver Spring, MD)

Not sure how I did it to be honest. I'm told I come across as very intimidating.. but I was in no way upset, and understanding of the shortage. Next thing I know I see him go to the locked closet...grab one out of the stack and peel someones name off of it..

Radio shack is the only place in lower NH i could get on a pre-order list. Comes in Friday
Good thing I ordered mine Sunday.. i received it earlier today!
Here in Ohio no better, Went to best buy with my buddy, was quoted as Evo shippment tomorrow and now it's been moved to a nice lovely ambiguous "sometime from wednesday to friday" Here's hoping sooner rather than later but oh well. Here's hoping we can survive the great evo shortage of 2010! (*side note* kinda regretting not pre-ordering sooner, I was 8 people into the 2nd batch forcing me to wait an extra week. BAH!)
its good news, i just wished they had more accessories on launch day!
Decided to give in and pick one of these up yesterday. Couldnt find one in stock anywhere. This morning I was prepared to call every Radio Shack in the area. The 1st one I called said someone just took themselves off the list and that they had one available. I put my name on it, and picked it up 20 minutes later.
I have 2 friends that got theirs this same way. I did pre order one for my girlfriend though while I was there and she will be getting it on Friday.
I just got mine today and I had to call 8 or so sprint stores to find one in stock, ends up the store I got mine at had 10 in stock still from the first shipment and they had given a lot of their first order of 300 to other area stores. Once I got there it took them about 2 and a half hours to activate the flippin thing, my voice and 4g connected but my 3g never came up, took them forever to sort it out. They actually had to activate two evos to figure the problem out. I got 2 boxes and goodies out of the deal though, I am in the kc area too.
Which Sprint store was this? Im also in the KC area and have a few friends wondering if anyone has them in stock. Sounds like that store may be worth a shot.
argh its sold out online again!! I can't wait any longer!

I was going to order it online last night and then dumb me second guessed myself and decided to see if i could get lucky in a store today. Now I realize that was a very stupid idea.
how are some of you getting overnight delivery; i placed my order around 12pm PST yesterday and i still haven't received a delivery notification or any updates; it still says waiting in the warehouse for processing; this is annoying me since it's supposed to be overnight delivery
do you think t-mobile will run out of the vibrant on launch day? the reason i'm asking is that i don't get off work til late afternoon and i hope they don't sell out.
you will get one tomorrow , there aren't many people mind vibrant
I figure out today I was the first & last customer for two weeks ago who pre-orderd this phone at Radio Shack(Boston-downtown)

At my store we got a pretty good supply of them, unlike the HD2. Its doubtful it will sell out but you could call your local store and see if they are willing to hold one for you till end of day.
I called my local T-Mobile Store yesterday, and they are holding a Vibrant for me til the end of the day, and they only got 4 in

I talked to a clerk and she said they were getting 15. Which she considered a lot. Said they only got 5 HD2 when it was released.
Still I'm not taking chances and will be at the store before it opens.

I'm with you, I know that it's not like the iphone that people get crazy and stuff but I'll be there before they open just in case
I'll be heading out in about 10-15 minutes to go procure my vibrant. gonna show up a couple minutes early. I thought the HD2 launch was gonna be slow, and I was wrong on that, I showed up 10 minutes early then and there was already like 8 people waiting
I just called the one near me, he said they got about 60 of them. No need to try to have them hold one.
Gonna pick it up after work. New Android phone to play with! Yay!
Sadly I'm out of town and I'm not able to go roaming around for a T-mobile store so I ordered mine via CC service. They didn't seem to think there would be any shortages any time soon. I would be worried that they would run out of those screens since others like the Evo have been having issues.
When I get home mine should be waiting for me.
I was the only customer waiting at my store when I picked up my Vibrant. I was thankful I didn't have to wait in a line, but part of me hopes that popularity of the Vibrant grows. I'd like the largest dev community on the TMobile version of the Galaxy S.
The change in release date a week out might of changed initial demands?
I think Samsung has a LOT of the devices around though to be honest, and if a store ran out, tmobile will still have them in stock at a warehouse and be in stock within a day or two.

True. The first clerk I spoke with at our downtown store thought the date was the 21st.
when i picked up my vibrant today, there were a few people purchasing it, however the clerk said that the mytouch slide had a line thouroughout the day on it's release date. i guess the reason being is that t-mobile advertised the **** out of the mytouch. even in the store all you see is the mytouch all ove the place. i guess if t-mobile advertised this phone as much as the mytouch slide then more people would've been there purchasing the phone.
I've read around somewhere that Samsung is going to be doing the advertising more than the carriers. I haven't seen any on TV or online, so I'm not sure if Samsung is going to start it any time soon.
I walked into the T-Mobile corp. store here in town around 11 CST. There were exactly one customer per sales rep, and the only other person in there looking for the vibrant was another guy from my job.
They had not even opened the shipping case of Vibrants until he arrived there. No displays, they had a demo unit, but it was locked in the drawer under one of the cash registers. They didn't even know if they were supposed to be selling them today.
I couldn't believe the total lack of advertising they had up--I'm talking none at all. Their "showcase" device was still the MTS. Go figure.
Hi All,
Im questioning this, but i thought i would share what i just chatted about with a local p4u shop.
short story: Was told it might be able to buy as early as the 1st of March.
long story:
I went in to ask if i could pre order to pick up from store (i knew i couldnt but i was hoping they would hold one
for me or something like that )
Guy said let me just check when there coming in, he mentioned he was getting a single unit delivered today
and i was free to come back and play with it. Obviously i said yes to this as only one ive played with has been in a big
metal shell. So im waiting on a phone call for that.
But he seemed to think i would be able to buy the phone from this Friday (1st march). He did mention that he wasnt 100% sure on this
and did say dont pre order it online as it takes 4 days to process it and you wont get it before, so it could be a ploy to get me to wait
til its in to buy it from them.
This is only a tiny local p4u shop so the fact its getting a unit delivered today would suggest that they have a fair few in. So mabye they
are giving a few out before hand to those special customers (i wish)
The fact they all knew what the HTC one is shocked me, ive been in phone stores when a new phone has just been released and they
dont even know what its called!
I dont want to say the local store name as they did ask me not to tell anyone i would get to play with one.
Any opinions/thoughts?
Personally I think they are getting Fridays mixed up, but a man can dream.
If i get hands on it i will try and get a few photos/video if they let me.

SFR (french mobile operator) announced it yesterday on their website dedicated to android.
You can take a loot at it : android[dot]sfr[dot]fr/htc-one-chez-sfr/ (french) (I can't write a link because i'm a new account :/ )
Very interesting if that is the case I will cancel my preorder and just get one in store instead in a week or so.
Maybe HTC have decided to pull the release date up so they can trump the Samsung attempt at trumping them ...
but SFR are really only declaring that they'll have it available "first on their web site on March 5th" and then 'progressively' to all their shops ... so it could be an earlier release is imminent, or it might just be a marketing ploy by SFR to get in front of the other French providers by making it look as though they will get it out sooner. We all know about mail order and delivery delays eh ???

I don't know, SFR has often some exclusiveness (nexus 4, purple XZ, etc.) so I think the ONE will be available on March 5th but only for SFR. I'll contact them on twitter, we'll see what are they gonna say.

I hope it's true. Don't forget the Xperia Z is launching on March 1st and pre-orders have been good so far so the sooner the ONE is out the better. Hopefully they don't have supplies issues with the ONE and I'm praying the 64GB version is out at the same time.

yer the 64gb would be nice but i really cant see it happening. (read somewhere htc said it was official it wasnt coming to the uk via twitter??)
I think they release it after 2 months to try keep sales going/when the s4 goes on sale.
But tbh 32gb will be enough for me, just hope most of it is usable!
So SFR answered me on twitter : " Hello, for the moment we don't have information different from those accessed from the page provided. It will be an open order though. " Raaaaa,

I think you're right. Larger capacity items almost always seem to come later. Mind you Expansys dot ca has it listed and is taking pre-orders so maybe at most 1 month wait?
