Theres a lot of pages on the web that state the UK release date as 30th Sept. But I cant find one shop website that states that!
For a phone thats being released tomorrow, Expansys stil says 'pre-order now'! And they are usualy pretty on the ball when putting up ACTUAL release dates. Could anyone shed any light on this situation?
Vodafone retail outlets (UK) claim change of date from 3rd Oct to 10 Oct. Expansys (UK) claim between 6 & 10 th Oct. Therefore consistently saying not this week
It may just be released on sony's website and the branded ones aren't out till a bit later?
most websites saying around Oct 8
The shipping has begun.
Just saw acouple of thousand units today.

Saw??? Saw where??
O2 in Germany cancelled the 41 calendar week and names now the 42 calendar week
I spoke to the Sony Ericsson store in London yesterday, to find out if they would have any demo units in today. Apparently even though the release date is today, it will be a couple of weeks before they get any in stock either for sale or demo. No word on pricing either

All this mystery about the price makes me think that they won't know how much to sell them for even when they're out...
Amazon Germany now lists it for 679,- EUR which is 40 EUR more then a few days before.
You can already buy it (not pre-order) but it's not in stock yet.
This is starting to remind me of the P990i release date, which was pushed back over 6 months or more

Reminds me of the Blackberry Bold haha
I am also in search of the exact answer, the date I found on different sites is not same.
It started shipping to sellers on the 30th, most are saying it will be available from Oct 6.
Most of the dealers are telling it will be on sale from 10th OCT.
O2 are apparently selling it now according to a couple of folk and the O2 mag.
Il be getting mine as soon as it comes out at Phones4u as they will buy a certain amount of my existing contract out! My existing contract has about £170 left to go. They gave my friend £100 for his contract so if they give my £100 towards paying of my existing contract id be a very happy chappy!
Just for giggles shall we put down all release dates that you have heard for the hero
I know of:
3rd July - Orig
20th July - expansys
21st July - king of gadgets
29th July - Play.com
15th August - Amazon.co.uk
Orange upgrades, called them 15th July....
'Call back in 2 months' (!!!!)
True that!
How about Insight
25 expected on 09/09/19
Bit of a long wait.
Devicewire are saying...
...August 7th. The guy I spoke to seemed very knowledgeable and said it was down to Google not signing the licensing agreements in time.

Expansys email confirming will be first week in August, 1st/2nd. Received today
What abuuuuut T-mobile? I've heard other people on here (one actually working for them) saying 17th or 20th.....
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 .
See Expansys are back on the 20th July now.

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
Well expansys UK still say release today, expansys Sweden say the 31th of July...
And I need this phone now..

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.
i have been emailed about my pre-order from mobile phones direct and now they are saying that delivery wont be in october, but they will start shipping on the 1st of november
i was hoping that i would be in the first shipments as i ordered on the 4th of sept
what do you guys think about this delay - i am seriously considering another phone, the blackberry i have now i doing my head in!
here are the emails weve been sent about the preorder:
Dear Customer
Many thanks for your order for the exciting new Desire HD!
Today, we can confirm you will still be one of the first customers to receive this amazing new phone.
We are expecting to be able to fulfil your order in the next 15 working days which means your Desire HD should be with you by the end of October.

Dear Customer
Your new HTC Desire HD!
The latest information regarding your delivery has not changed - ‘we are still expecting to be able to fulfil your order by the end of October’.
This will have no impact on you being one of the first customers to receive this amazing new phone!
There is no need to call us, we promise to update you with further information next week.
Kind regards

Dear Customer
Thank you for your order of the stunning New Desire HD.
The demand for this product has been tremendous and unfortunately there has been a delay in getting supplies in the UK. This has meant they are in very short supply everywhere.
The good news is our shipment has been confirmed. We expect to commence deliveries during the week of the 1st of November.
We appreciate that you have been inconvenienced. We apologise on behalf of HTC.
What happens next? We will email you on the 1st of November confirming your delivery date.
Thank you and sorry for the delay.

you could just wait ?, 1st of november is only 1 week away its not that long
at least you have a phone to use in the mean time i sold mine so i could buy the DHD imo dont be so impatient
I was in the same position as you however I ordered from e2save (part of the carphone warehouse) on Saturday via quidco, the deal was cheaper and the parcel is out for delivery today by DHL.
Needless to say I have cancelled my MPD order today, so much for utimate HTC partner!
actually if you are getting a run around like that then i would cancel and order with someone else just for the principle of give **** service then lose a sale
Yes I cancelled my order too with MPD after waiting for many weeks. The funny thing is they didn't seem to care about me cancelling, no apology for delay or trying to convince me not to cancel, just confirmation to say they have cancelled.
*BOWS DOWN*
THANKYOU! i have emailed MPD to cancel the contract, called E2Save (quidco just didnt work for me )
I got twice as many minutes, more texts and the handset price was cheaper!
AND its being delivered tomorrow!!!!!

Just a heads up, I ordered from E2Save on the 21st October and they still haven't shipped the phone, DHL tracking says 'Parcel data received awaiting coll'. I emailed them this morning and i'm still waiting for a reply.
Won't be a happy bunny if you get yours before me
I canceled my order with mpd last week. Ordered one from onestopphoneshop today £5 a month cheaper and should be dispatched today. Will update once I have dispatch notice.

lol no problem, I am gutted because my wife was out when DHL came so I have to wait until tomorrow to get my grubby mits on my DHD!
It's probably worth noting that I spoke to MPD this morning and they have had a shipment in and will continue to get them this week so should be dispatching them on a first come first served basis.
I'm hoping the guy I spoke to is right when he says I should probably get mine tomorrow or Wednesday, but I'm guessing Wednesday now.

the woman i ordered with today said they got a shipment of 140 just when i was ordering so it said "in stock" and so she said that i should get it tomorrow
maybe we will both get it tomorrow
Mobile Phones Direct - S*** in Service
I've ordered mine with MPD on 20th September and there is no sign of it.
I got the same email stating that they will update me about the delivery on 1st November...
I never buy with them again...
i think e2save are sending out t-mobile orders first!
i cancelled my vodafone order with them, as i had pre-ordered beginning ov october, only to hear t-mobile orders had been delivered before mine. and that people had ordered them last week, and had them next day !!!
also, all the tariffs keep changing there, last week t-mobile unlimited web 600 was £25 a month, free handset, now its £29.99 handset cost. and the vodafone deal i had has disappeared! now more expensive!!
ive given up, and am waiting til next year and 1.2 ghz ++ devices now.
and hearing all the complaints, it sounds like this is yet another rushed beta device from HTC.
Cancelled my MobilePhonesDirect order. Got it frm Mobiles.co.uk within 24hrs of order

I've cancelled my order with MPD just 30 minutes before. (helping those poor souls who still believe in MPD and queing there).
Ordered mine with Mobiles.co.uk (free phone + £50.00 Quidco) for the same deal on 26th October 10:00 PM. got it delivered today at 11:00 AM...
Hats off mobiles.co.uk.
I'm so glad I cancelled my MPD order! I've had my DHD since last Monday thanks to me not being willing to wait any more!
Got mine sim free from phones 4 u [email protected] £449.95, i cancelled the expansys £499order, mind you i had rang the phones 4 u northampton, corby, leicester, market harborough, coventry, and kettering branches,
if they try to tell you it is contract only, just tell them you know they sell it sim free, they tend to back down and say something like "i have just checked with my manager and oh yes i see it is available sim free.....sir"
good hunting.

actually I'm in nyc,Maybe all the Atrix stored in Newark Fedex.
Mine is in Memphis. Too bad I have work till 5pm and have school right after.
It would be nice if AT&T stores sold them today (2/21/11) instead of Tuesday. The wait is killing me.
Well, I think they screwed up my pre-order in the store. On the description it lists it as Motorola MISC MOT ATRIX LD COMPUTER, should be fun hearing them try to explain how they messed it up and how they'll compensate me.
Seeing as Today (2/21/2011) is Presidents Day.... i wouldn't get your hopes up about FedEx doing jack in terms of doing anything relating to work.

Not only that - The date/time is straight from their web site when we track our packages. I'm sure they know what day they can deliver the product and what day they can't.
