Bad news for anyone who has ordered through amazon...They have changed their delivery date from 18th Apr to 1st June.....I'm glad I cancelled my order this morning and went with comet....should be coming Thurs.
Bloody Hell, thats one hell of a delay, not just by a few days, but over a month, i wonder what has made them change their release date.
Dang.
My order is still saying that it will be sent out on 18th. Will update if it changes.
Ouch glad I went with comet now. I would advise looking at my post about the comet discount and then applying for the keyboard offer from asus as that works out at £405 for both.
I don't understand why there is such a long delay. They( Asus) will lose a lot of sales as there will be the Acer and the Galaxy 10.1 competing in June and who knows what else....HTC, LG

Yep....I did and got the discount although others have said they couldn't - may be a regional thing.
They still have them available online...next day delivery !

It could be that as they are coming off the production line they are being distributed to suppliers, so they have not stock-piled for a big on-mass release ?

Don't know tbh it was just a thought, maybe Asus are distributing to Comet first as they have physical stores that people can see a demo model.
Ebuyer`s dates have gone back too: April 22nd for the tablet on its own and the 19th MAY for the dock bundle, which I had pre-ordered. On the off chance I gave Carphone warehouse a call this lunch time to ask on delivery times for the tablet. I was told if I ordered before 4pm it would be delivered tomorrow. Placed order immediately and cancelled my Ebuyer preorder. I`ll take Asus up on their offer to order the dock direct from them
Roll on tomorrow

That's MAY in case people are wondering... Very glad I went with Comet in the end, I also will be taking ASUS up on their pre-order deal!
Still 18th April for me (on amazon.co.uk). I ordered yesterday.

Wow, never noticed it was May! Glad I phoned CPW now.
Thanks for the heads up
"Dispatch Estimate: 18 April 2011" <-- in my order.
"This item will be released on June 1, 2011." <-- on the info page
I'll cancel the order if they push the date. June 1 sounds like a joke, there will be many more interesting tablets to choose from then.
I can't take Asus on the preorder deal because I'm not from UK and the deal is only for UK.
I'm using mine right now, I walked into comet and picked it up, wasn't any on display so make sure you ask someone, did I get bit early?

I remember when I was waiting for my Kindle they kept changing the date on the info page but the date on my order never changed - which was when i got it.
I never read too much into Amazons estimated dates tbh.
Just cancelled my order and ordered via carphonewarehouse.. still in stock.. and delivered on thursday..... will as many others order the dock once it arrives !

Hopefully the order date is the one that matters. If not I'm going to have to take this as a message from God. Nobody wants to sell me a Honeycomb tablet, time to get an iPad.
I have the eee pad transformer & k/board bundle on order with amazon since 4th April for an 18th April dispatch. When I saw the date change to 1st June was going to cancel, but managed to get a customer service number for amazon uk
Rang them & they told me that there was enough eeepads & k/board bundles in there fulfilement centre to despatch April 18th for everyone that pre-ordered before April 11th. If you pre-ordered after that date you dont get the bundle until june 1.
Bottom line is if your estimated dispatch date hasn't changed & is still showing April 18th on your order then you made the cut!!

Well, all the Swedish stores just say that they don't have any release date or that the phone is not in store yet.
So I've actually not seen a releasedate except the initial 15th of july.
hero
a guy at king of gadgets told me expansys were ordering from HTC europe and that they had stock from HTC UK, and that was why the dates were different!
dutch shops and carriers:
Hi / KPN giving it an expected release of July 22th (was 8, then 14, then 18, then 20).
Pdashop.nl saying the unlocked can be delivered from July 24th onwards.
centralpoint.nl saying 7th of august.
Other webshops saying 'in stock within two weeks'.
So I have no idea, I hope somewhere next week .

Expansys have never ever got a release date right, they are just a hype train thats successful in making you preorder and keep waiting. i usually just wait until it says its in stock then just go over and pay cash at the expansys depot (1hr drive) lol

You even can not rely on expansys when they write they have it on stock - on friday, the 3rd of July, their web page said, they have 100 on stock (at least on their Hong Kong page). I already ordered on July the 1st. But, like all others, did not receive until now.

Further I ordered it as an upgrade and was told before that I'd get the package price... now they're saying I CAN NOT get the package price as an upgrade... If so I'm returning the phone and cancelling all my lines with AT&T I'm done with their crap.

basically anyone who pre-ordered the phone should be getting the phone on the 21st.
i've talked with att and they've confirmed this. the phone will be in retail on 22nd but those that have ordered already will get it 1 day earlier.
overnight shipping and 2 days shipping = both on the 21st ?
whats the point of overnight then
Those of you who already got your notice of shipping today, are you new customers? I heard rumor that AT&T is playing some stocking game where they are shipping to new customers first, then Premier, then contract renewals. I ordered on the 14th early and haven't gotten notice and it was a Premier order. They listed me as back-ordered and I just hope that is a "just in case" if they run out of stock shipping to those before me so I can't point fingers why I don't have mine by the 22nd.

I'm not a new customer, Ordered off-contract from premier site. I ordered mine on the 16th. Mine showed back-order at first then changed status yesterday. Login to att website then do their check phone order status. Don't use the link that came from the email to check status because it's not updated.
Mine says the Shipped date was the 17th for some reason but still says processing and has no tracking number
Just called the customer service number and the automated system gave me a tracking number... whew! I was sweatin' it. Stupid online status is good for nothing other than added stress.
Just got my FedEx tracking number. Premier customer, off contract and I ordered it on 2/14/11!

Has anyone ordered the phone at amazon.co.uk?
Mine has an estimated dispatch date of 4-5 may and an estimated delivery date of 6-9 may (standard delivery to Belgium, 1-2 days). It has not been dispatched yet.
I have placed my order on 15 april for an estimated dispatch date of 30 april, updated about two weeks ago to 4-5 may.
I would appreciate it if you would share and update the delivery status in this topic.

Same for me... I got a thrill the other night when Amazon told me my item had been dispatched, but they were just talking about the cover I had ordered for the phone
I've come home from work and keep checking my email every two minutes, but no sign of a dispatch yet. I fear it's going to be next week before I get my hands on this phone!
Amazon quote
"Please be advised, although we do have stock of the item "Samsung I9100 Galaxy S II 16 GB Sim Free Smartphone" on hand, we are not able to dispatch it to you until the official release date, May 06, 2011. Many manufacturers restrict retailers from selling or dispatching their products until the official release date."

Thanks, I guess thats a reply from amazon? Anyway, I guess we can wait a day or two, no one needs the gadget right now.

What am I saying, bring it on, amazon!!!
So delivery will be Monday at the earliest then?
Stupid weekend getting in the way...
From the amazon uk forum, looks like we are not going to have the GS2 in a while.
I received the following from customer support a short while ago...
Hello,
I'm sorry for the unexpected delay of your order. I have researched the availability of "Samsung I9100 Galaxy S II 16 GB Sim Free Smartphone" and learned that its release has been delayed.
As soon as the item has been released, we'll be able to dispatch it to you. As per our standard policy, we do not charge you for items until they enter the dispatch process, so you will not be charged for this item until it is about to be sent.
In addition to a wide selection of items, one of our aims at Amazon.co.uk is to provide a convenient and efficient service; in this case, we have not met that standard. Once again we are sorry for any inconvenience caused by this issue and hope this will not discourage you from shopping with Amazon.co.uk in the future.
Thank you for your patience and understanding in this matter.

I've no problem with Amazon if they've been let down by a supplier.
However, if a customer support employee can research to find that their release date is now obsolete, why are Amazon still advertising the 6th May as the release date on the product page?
I received an email from customer support a couple of days ago which stated that the phone will be in stock before the 6th May release date.
On the product page itself, someone posted an email from customer support saying that the phone was in stock, but they just weren't allowed to dispatch it until the 6th May release date.
I repeat, the delay itself is not something that is upsetting me. These things happen. However, the misguided information certainly is an issue. I expected a lot better from Amazon...
We regret to inform you that your order will take longer to fulfill than originally estimated. Our supplier has notified us that there is a delay obtaining stock for the following items you ordered on April 14 2011.
So who's going to wait for Amazon? Who's going to cancel their order and try somewhere else?
I'm thinking I'll be heading into town this weekend to see if I can buy one on the high street...
got the same message and I'm thinking of cancelling
Well, I did cancel my order and placed a new one at Handtec... lets see, they talk about shipping on 9 or 10th of may...
I was going to cancel, but then I received this e-mail. I think I'll wait just a little longer I guess.
Please be advised that we have a revised delivery date for the items you ordered on April 15 2011 (Order #202-6217273-4883543).
"Samsung I9100 Galaxy S II 16 GB Sim Free Smartphone"
Estimated arrival date: May 10 2011 - May 11 2011
I've also had the same message from Amazon. I've now cancelled the order and have now ordered the phone from play.com
In stock apparently and £499.99 with free delivery. It's been waiting to go to dispatch since 8:30am.
I will probably get the sorry sir, it wasn't really in stock please check again in a couple of weeks
in germany you can get the i9100 right now on amazon.de for 599,-€
in stock and already dispatched, without simlock
I've just received an email to say that my new delivery estimate is 9th-10th May.
Hmm...
Yaldy! "We are preparing this item for dispatch"!
Amazon uk delivery due 7th May
I had the email from Amazon UK at 02:10 this morning stating the expected delivery date of today would not be met. I orderd on 28th April and I am an Amazon Prime Customer.
This morning I debated cancelling my order, but left it thinking a few days delay would not be too bad.
At 15:11 I received an order dispatch email with tracking number showing the phone had been handed over to Royal Mail at 14:34. Expected delivery is Saturday May 7th. I am glad i did not hit he cancel button too soon.
The bad news is it's being delivered to work so won't get to play until Monday.

Mine got dispatched last night and is expected to deliver on 12 May.

You said pre-ordered, you mean on the website? Those are not shipping out yet. The only people who have them are the people who backed the Kickstarter last year.
If I'm reading this right and you pre-ordered it on there website (or affiliate like Amazon), it doesn't ship until June 25th, which means you should get it sometime between June 28rh and .July 5th (give or take).
Hope this helps!

Yeah, they pushed it back to June due to manufacturing times being longer than expected. Being such a brand new company, the fact that they are not only shipping out the product with only a few months delay AND the product is really good (personal opinion) shows a lot. I would support this company in any further projects they do.
I got this email from OUYA on the 8th of June.
"Yep... it’s true.
Your OUYA has arrived at our distribution center and we expect it to land on your doorstep within the next two weeks (give or take a day or two depending on your location).
Be on the lookout for a confirmation email that will follow once your shipment has been picked up for delivery and which will include your personalized tracking number."
I still have not received my confirmation email or any kind of tracking number, but it should be here around the 22nd according to the email.

Eeeek. I'm beginning to think even the June 25th launch may be in trouble. Unless they're basically pushing all the units to the retail channels and making the pre-orders/Kickstarters wait, since we have already paid - the "screw those guys" mentality.
I was not a Kickstarter backer, but just a pre-order customer. I ordered mine in late January or early Feb. Just got my tracking number today. It says it will be here between June 20th and July 10th. I will let you know when I get mine.
Sorry to hear about the people who ordered earlier than me, and have not received any information. I emailed them in early May about the April ship date, and it took about a week for them to respond saying that they had my order, and I was not forgotten. I thought they had forgotten about me too.

Kickstarter backer here 2.
I received my tracking number on the 10th this month. 10 days ago. Needless to say that I am still waiting.
As far as I am concerned the whole Kickstarter idea was good. Bad management however forced them to stockpile wholesale orders before Kickstarter backers all had their OUYA. Backers could have accepted, grumbling, any delays as long as they were supported by proper communications. Sadly OUYA's communication skills are even worse then their management skills. And from what I read, their programming leaves a lot to be desired as well.
This was my first Kickstarter project that I backed, and I am very disappointed by how this is all working out.

Hey guys. Pre ordered in May and still nothing.
They posted a blog entry yesterday which stated "T-5 Days To Launch". So some of us will probably have to wait 4 more days until shipping.
I've cancelled my order, I'm going to buy on the day of release.
I pre ordered in January and never heard anything from them. I E-mailed them 2 weeks ago and they replied back after 10 days stating they had trouble verifying my shipping address, so I wouldn't receive it until after release day.
The ouya support is a massive turn off. It feels like the setup is being run from a teenagers garden shed with a couple of friends helping out when they finish their paper round.
Are these people meant to be professionals in their field?!
I wonder how long until I receive my refund...

I was a day or two away from trying to cancel my order when I got the email saying that my order was at the warehouse ready to be shipped. I keep trying to track it, but it still has not shown up on the dhl site yet. The email said writing 24-48- hours it would be trackable, but it is still not there yet, even after 72 hours. Hopefully it comes soon, won't be much of a pre order if it comes after it is available in stores.
Very bad customer service on their part.

same here. now i can spend the extra 50$ on tegra enhanced games or something on steam!
I am not sure why but Nvidia already took their money from my credit card. could this mean that they are going to ship early for us. I hope so cuz it turned out to be a large sum of money when taking into account the exchange rates and the tax from nvidia.com
Edit: nividia just replied to me support request and it was a credit hold of the money and that some banks don't show any difference between the hold and actual payment.

My American Express shows a pending charge to Digital River Pacific for $361.99. This is a hold, which can be placed months in advance of shipping, to confirm that the card has sufficient funds available at the time of processing the shipping. Best Buy does this with my preorders. It means that they are gearing up to ship, but the actual, and correct charge will happen when it ships.

I hope what your saying is true because it's the first time I pre order anything and it appeared on my back account as if they already took the money.
Thanks a lot man

Retail?
Does anyone know when this will be in retail? I want to know if it will be at Gamestop on the 27th or if that is the day they head to gamestop.

I don't think you will see it any retail store. Itll be a great device but I don't think there will be enough sales to put it on shelves.

It will be at Gamestop. It is confirmed. It is pre-orderable in stores. The release date just says June 30th as it has since it was pre-orderable...

website still says 30th. so i am guessing either 1: they will start selling it on the 30th. or 2: they just haven't updated the date yet.

although gamestop website shows jun 30 for release date it is actually june 27th as well. I ordered my shield from gamestop today and sales rep confirmed in their system that gamestop will be receiving units on jun 27th.

Yes. I am hoping mine gets to my store because none showed up in saturdays shipment and it did not appear that any were on the way for tuesdays. (I did not have it pre-ordered until yesterday so that could be my fault)
Preordered mine around the 15th and got a email stating that they won't charge my card til it ships and will charge the new price. Well on the 21st a charge was done to my card for the old price. Does this mean it is shipping and what about the new lower price?

The same thing happened with me and they said that it is just a credit hold to make sure that each card is good for it. However i think the price your talking about is with tax. I think nividia. Com took around 30$ tax which just hurt

It was the old price and tax for a total of $399.34 when the email said it was going to only charge $349.34. And it was not a hold it was a full charge out of my account.

My American Express card still shows the original price as a "Pending Charge," which indicates that the charge has not been confirmed for processing by Nvidia, and is, rather, a preliminary hold to confirm that the card is correct and that the available balance is sufficient.
It's possible that those of you who show a charge either are using debit cards or card companies that don't distinguish between pending charges and processed charges.
On a similar topic... does anyone know if Nvidia is going to ship our pre-orders early, so that they arrive on/about the 27th, or will they ship on the 27th and we will receive them sometime next week?
well bad news via gamestop today the manager showed me a email they received "shield has been delayed from the 27th to an unknown date ie they don't know when hell they will get it" that pretty much sums it up another guy over at nvidia forums posted the same thing , kinda ticks me off
I preordered mine directly from Nvidia and it shows credit card pending. I ordered next day evening so we will see when we get it.
Very excited about this product. I even went out and bought a brand new gaming PC with 3 monitors for fun.
Cannot wait to see Borderlands 2 streamed to it haha. Epic!
Nvidia says it won't ship this month
We know you’ve been looking forward to receiving your NVIDIA® SHIELD™. And we’re eager to get it into your hands.
But we won’t do that until it’s fully up to the exacting standards that NVIDIA’s known for. And some final quality-assurance testing has just turned up a mechanical issue that we’re not happy with.
So, while we announced last week that SHIELD will ship this Thursday, we’ve taken the hard decision to delay shipping until next month.
The issue relates to a third-party mechanical component, and we’re working around the clock with the supplier to get it up to our expectations.
We apologize for the delay and thank you for your patience. But we want every SHIELD to be just right.
We’ll let you know when we have an exact shipping date in July. We think it will be worth the wait.
