SGSII in stock at some Carphone Warehouse stores today (Tuesday) - Galaxy S II General

Heads up for anyone who wants to pick a phone up in store, but doesn't like Phones 4 U. Went down to one local Carphone Warehouse store at lunch time today, and got the same as others have recently "not sure, hopefully soon...".
Got back to work, looked on CPW site, and saw "limited stock" at another. Called them up, and they got a delivery at about 2:30/3:00 this afternoon. Got one put aside to pick up at half five.
Getting mine from Weybridge, and a quick look on the site also shows them in stock at Woking, Bracknell, Windsor, Slough, Maidenhead, etc.
Can't post links, Check under delivery options here: carphonewarehouse.com/buy/SAMSUNG_GALAXY_S_2_TG35T_FCON
Should see "Pay in store" with either "no stock status" or "limited stock".

Check with individual stores before making the trip. Neither my local o2 or CPW were selling them gandset only today. But the next towns stock was higher so picked mine up from there.
Get the O2 handset. 94 cheaper and unlocked mate!

O2 not now offering XDA EXEC on their website

Yesteday I saw that O2 were offering the XDA EXEC as one of the phone options on their website, today it is now not one of their options. ITS OFF THE LIST! I wonder why.
O2 XDA Exec
You can get an O2 Exec for £150 in the UK at £19/month or £100 + £23/Month. Not a bad deal.
@electronis, I think you're right. Just tried from www.my-xda.com and the link to buy from the online store did not work.
Edit: my local O2 shops (Hampshire/Surrey) in Farnborough and Guildford still have stock.
Edit 2: O2 are still selling the XDA on the business site, see here:http://shop.o2.co.uk/cgi-bin/o2uk-b...=business:O2:XDAExec:GROUP&ref=businessMod8L3
It was working fine yesterday - interesting.
Wonder whats going on.
Liverpool store I was in yesterday said they had loads in stock, too.
It still appear in the Business section
http://shop.o2.co.uk/business?ref=bizhome3-a
Hi
Just to let people know - I phoned O2 online this morning - they have sold out. Waiting for new stock. But they have no ETA for the new stock.
Phil
i was told 17th November for stock, but I told them to cancel the order cos I placed it yesterday and they even offered me next day delivery for £3.99 which I accepted and now I've just rung to check on delivery only to be told no stock until 17th.
I ordered my upgrade on Tuesday and it came on Thursday.
After the usual arguments over how much I was going to pay, depending on on your callcentre rep is, I got it for free.
I was told no stock and no ETA last weekend.
If I dont have one by the 17th I'll cancel with o2 and buy that IPAQ 2700 instead.
There's no way o2 is getting a penny off me until I have a working phone and sim and am completely satisfied with it. Which I suspect will be never given the fact they keep sending out knock offs and refurbs. *sigh
Guys
I spoke with the retention team yesterday and they told me that they had 3 days worth of stock available so I'm not sure what the heck is going on with the sales departments.
I'd push it with them and see what they say. Why not also see if the local store has one in stock and pick one up from there.

mobiles.co.uk pre order ::arrived!!::

just a heads up for people who ordered through mobiles.co.uk - I noticed on the page for the sgs2 that stock was expected today (28th) so fired off an email to ask about delivery dates.
slightly disappointed with the reply, they don't have any stock yet as the manufacturer changed the release date... (due to the p4u exclusive most likely) stock expected next week. pretty vague!

At least you got a reply, you should be pleased! While they have good deals and despatch quickly when the phone is in stock, their customer service is appalling! Possibly the worst customer service I have ever encountered.
Regards.
There website now shows in stock. I phoned them to check the status of my order and was told it will be processed today. I should get the phone on Tuesday/Wednesday.
They have also added that the phone will be unlocked and work on any network. Which would mean no network branding.

well somebody at mobiles.co.uk is telling porkies... the email response I got today after seeing the sgs2 in stock said that they still weren't expecting stock until next week!

i'm about ready to cancel and get one elsewhere.

hope you're right! still doesn't explain why customer services didn't verify that on the email i received...
i think i'll give them a call tomorrow.
@nameless21 - has your order status been updated on your details page?
My order is still at pending too! Getting restless!
mine is still pending. will post when it changes.
I find this very hard to believe as the Wholesalers in the UK are not sending out stock to sellers until Tuesday 3rd May.
Got message from them that they're out of stock so I called to cancel it & the guy said that its not out of stock & that the phone will be shipped on Tues. Still cancelled it though bcoz the O2 deal was too good to miss.
canceled mine, went to phones4u Huddersfield who had a delivery of 6 this morning. i got the last one as a Vodafone upgrade.
just got an email saying my order has been transferred to the warehouse ready for dispatch!
hopefully I'll get it by Wednesday!
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA Premium App, yeah?
phone has just been delivered at home by DHL! (unfortunately i'm at work...)
strange that i didn't get a tracking number or notification that it had been dispatched from the warehouse though...
oh well! roll on 5:30!
My order's still at the pending stage.
Rang them up, and they said they had got a delivery in today, so should receive the phone tomorrow!
Here's hoping!
my order has been refused from mobile.co.uk. http://media.xda-developers.com/images/smilies/frown.gif

BestBuy In Store pickup is now live

I was wondering when the in store pickup would go live for Best Buy.
I went to the site just now & it still said to pre-order.
Out of curiosity I added the item to my cart. I was then presented with being able to pick the item up in the store. I was able to enter my zip code to see what stores in my area would have one. I was surprised to see that some stores had them, while others did not. I went ahead and pre-ordered mine. I'll be able to pick it up tomorrow. I can feel relieved knowing I don't have to rush to the store in the morning.
I called and complained today about that and your post got me excited but no luck here
Hmm. In store pickup doesn't work for me.
It's only showing the Samsung - Galaxy Tab 10.1 - 16GB - Metallic, which is just what I wanted. The others do not seem to qualify for in store pickup yet. It also says not available for shipping anymore for that model as well.
Okay just keep clicking it.. for some reason it worked. Thank-you so much
I wonder how accurate these inventories are. I searched my area, Los Angeles, and it only shows that it's available for pickup at like 4 out 30 locations, all the others say unavailable.
In my area it says none of the Best Buy's around me will have it. That seems very doubtful.

Yea, that's what I'm thinking. For me, it's basically showing that no stores in L.A. have it. I'd bet inventory gets updated before opening tomorrow.
I've noticed they have now removed the pre-order button & replaced it with shop now. Also the 32 GB white version is now available in my area. Hopefully they will make updates in other areas as well.
No, just click it! I got a 32gb white to work!!!! Its confirmed
Got mine. Worked thabkyou so much
What's up with the west coast stores? None are showing they have any of the models except a couple stores in Cali that only have the 16gb metallic gray.
Not Available-Dallas Metroplex
Checked BB website at 9:30am Dallas time, none of the 4 versions are available, none. I checked all the stores the site would check for zip code, +/-30 in all, NONE. What a joke, yet again from Tablet Manufacturers.
Talked to a guy last night here in Texas about my 32GB grey one I pre-ordered and he said there were none that had been shipped but to check back around 1 or 2 because that was their afternoon shipment and it might be in then.
This morning I checked and 2 stores had them in stock. Now 4 do. I'd keep checking for those that are discouraged.
Thanks for the tip. Checked online, and website told me that the BB 3 blocks away had them in stock. The clerks didn't even know that they had come in or that they were on sale as of today. I asked them to look it up on their computers, and low and behold, they were sitting in the "cage" in the back room. Walked out with the 32GB Grey.
Not 1 Store in Jersey ????
I was lucky enough to get a Tab on June 8th in NYC. However they only had the White 16BG in stock. Not what I wanted but they said we could swap it out when it hit stores on the 17th. So I woke up early-completely wiped my Tab and went to Best Buy in NJ expecting to swap it out with a black 32GB. To my surprise everyone at Best Buy was in the dark about it. It was like I was speaking a foreign language. They didn't even know the release date. I immediately called Best Buy CS and the girl checked the entire country. They said other than a few stores in FL & 1 in West VA they didn't have any in stores. Might be because they have to fill pre-orders but i find it really disappointing that they send out PR and hype it up as today being the firm launch datea and not one store has them.And no idea when they will be in stock.

Complete and utter lies. I got a 32GB at a Chicago BB not 15 minutes ago. No pre-order. No deposit. No questions. No sales tax, even.
None of the NY stores have a 32gb in stock according to their website.
I don't know how accurate things are with BB right now. No BB stores around me are showing available online, however my local Fry's has both 16gb and 32gb in stock. I find it hard to believe that the only Fry's in my state has both in stock but no BB's have them.

ASDA Pre-order

Hey guys has anyone had any details about ASDA dispatching the xperia z preorders?
I'm pretty sure that when i selected the free delivery option, that it mentioned something about it being a guaranteed delivery date of 28th Feb. Does anyone else remember anything similar?
I ordered on the 14th of Feb.
Mine is sitting on 'Back Order' haven't heard anything from ASDA.
Mine says this on the tracking system:
Awaiting Stock - We're waiting for stock of all these items to become available. As soon as these items leave our warehouse and are their way to you we'll send you an email to let you know.
But even if they get stock tomorrow i doubt they can get it to me the same day
It's wishful thinking, but hopefully they're just crap at keeping the website updated. Mine reads the same as others.
Going to be mighty annoyed if I don't get it tomorrow. I never go to Asda for anything - supermarket or online - they're not doing a great job of turning me around...

Check my posts on the other threads mate.. Asda have been a joke
I've rang them 3 times today and been told something different every time! The one said it was out of stock when I ordered, another one said tomorrow and then the third one said a couple of weeks
I think there's literally 0% of it coming tomorrow

I spoke to them about 6pm and was told "your order isn't showing as back ordered on my screen. You see the phone isn't released untill tomorrow, so it can't be dispatched before then. If it doesn't say dispatched by this time tomorrow, call us back"
This was after I'd already explained the guaranteed 28th Delivery. Not holding my breath for getting it on release day. Even though the accessory pack was a big bonus, I picked Asda because no other site had commited to a delivery date at that point. Seems like another examine of Asda over promising and under delivering.

What was the guarantee? If they fail to deliver on the guaranteed date then what is their penalty?

I saw some sites got their deliveries late and had to dispatch on the 28th, i wonder if maybe this was the same for asda.
Mine still says on backorder. Just went through the process of ordering again to see if there were any delivery options this time and there were options to leave with neighbours etc. This wasn't an option when pre ordered. I am not sure if it means anything though.
I have seen on game forums that asda have form for this sort of thing too. Gonna see if I can find more info.
Still says on backorder. I'm gonna wait an hour or two then phone them again.
Does anyone have any confirmation that they promised a guaranteed delivery by today? As the fluff about it has gone from the website, I'm guessing with it are the T's and C's.
Im thnking of cancelling my order with ASDA, and ordering direct from Sony with the free headphones, £30 more though.

Where does it say that Sony are offering free headphones?
Update: just got off the phone with asda, while my order still says on back order, they're are saying that they have the phone in stock (as reflected on the site) and awaiting dispatch. Though I'm not certain I completely trust that!
The asda website looks like they've done a hasty removal job of anything to do with the preorder, so much that they still have photos of the preorder accessories, with absolutely no mention of coming with any.
I wouldn't imagine anyone would have felt the need to take proof of them promising delivery today, but it was plastered all over the site. It was even in the hidden T&Cs regarding the accessory pack saying you wouldn't actually get the dock and case today, something along the lines of "on 28th February you will receive the Bluetooth speaker, and a voucher for the case and dock redeemable from Sony stores"
The phone is being advertised as "in stock" for new orders, so I've got my fingers crossed that they are just being really poor at updating people's accounts.

Cheers.
I've decided to cancel my preorder with asda and get them directly from sony with the free headphones (which more then makes up for the extra £29). Though I'll probably sell the headphones.
Though even the order cancellation is a hassle, apparently it has to be passed to a "technical team" and will take 24 to 48 hours for an email to come through stating the order has been cancelled.... I don't think I'll ever use asda again!
Can't believe the way ASDA have handled this pre-order. Even their website shows 'in stock', but my order still says 'back order'!! Im on hold to speak to a manager!
---------- Post added at 10:50 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:41 AM ----------
Tried to cancel the order, has to be passed on to another team, which takes 24-48 hours, but the phone may dispatch before they get the cancellation request. Crazy!!
The manager gave me a £40 e-voucher for the inconvenience. Ordered with Sony directly, with free headphones!

Now Available in Canada

I'm picking up mine in a couple of hours...Futureshop and Best Buy has limited quantities..most stores are out of stock already....only two futureshop locations has it...excited!
Have they set up demo devices in store?

Lol I tried picking mine up at FS and they couldn't sell it to me despite me having it reserved. Street date is Nov 8th or some BS apparently. The guy had the box in his hand right in front of me. Not sure what Samsung is trying to achieve here by delaying launch by another week. Ugh.
Also it looks like there's only the white 32 gb model initially. Too bad, I wanted the black
Just a tip to those who live near the border. Amazon USA is selling the white 16gb for $549 plus a free $50 Amazon gift card. Its a pretty good deal and I was able to take advatange of it. Also, you get perks worth $600 upon registering the tablet. I dont think the Canadian model offers the same perks.

How long did it take for them to send the tracking number? Hopefully it ships by Monday.
Also, are they shipping by UPS or Canada Post?

Asked an employee to check the inventory system and apparently at best buy the launch date is November 1
I got the same hassle from Future Shop, no "I do not care we told you it is available and you can pick it up, I do not care you went out of your way for nothing" .... oh I was so mad.
Went back to work empty handed, ordered it online and it is on the truck today... coming here.
I get it thinking about charging it,
Write in big letters, "MY New Note 10.1 2014", "Message for this store, YOU SUCK!!!"
Walk around the store.
Got it delivered...

Lol that's pretty funny. Anyway I managed to go pick up my FS order today because the release date magically got pushed up to Nov 1st. Thanks Apple? What ****ty logistics on Samsung's part.

I just bought the last one in calgary today bro!!!
didn't realize it was released until last night at about midnight, woke up this morning and called everywhere. the best buy stores ALL had their stock mis-shipped, so NONE of them got it in. as for futureshop, the only one that had any left was the deerfoot meadows store, which thankfully is only about a ten minute drive from my house. called, got the guy to put it away for me, and tore down there as fast as i could, went in and bought it immediately (after having them run around looking for it because the sales guy didn't put it on hold properly, he just hid it inside the lockup where their normal stock is...so i could have even had it sold out from under me if i wasn't lucky).
i ended up buying the total protection plan coverage because it covers up to two free replacements if i break it, so i figure worst case, it breaks, great i just saved 300 bucks on the second tablet (since the plan cost me 300 instead of its usual 360) and then if i break it again, perhaps days before the end of the warranty and when they only have the next generation note available, then i guess i get it replaced with the new one
also the warranty is over the counter for breakage, they don't make you wait and wait and wait.... you simply bring it in, they see it's broken, and they go get you a new one. if it's just needing repair, like for the battery, which is covered for two years also, then you actually get a loaner note while yours is being fixed...pretty damn cool!!!!
anyways, i just installed the latest australia firmware onto it, since that is the newest of any available, and i just rooted it....starting to really enjoy it now. now i just hope someone comes out with at least a rom or two for it, or i might have to try my hand at making one, although i've never made one how hard can it be? lol...
