Hmm, thats annoying! Expansys is still showing the 20th July, so fingers crossed, but not holding me breathe! Amazon are normally pretty spot on with release dates, but have to wait and see.

Hi Richard,
The current release date is as per the website ;
http://www.expansys.com/d.aspx?i=184566
Regards

which is currently showing the 20th July
Just phoned T-mobile and they said it is being released on the 20th July and would have to ring back that day to get one!
I'm hearing 24th July from Amazon, 24th July _OR_ 15th August UK release.
My dutch provider is pushing it back week after week (it was 8th July, then 10th, then 14th, now 22nd. I'm still going with the 24th in my mind ).

Just checked their website now, and it says:
"Availability: Expected release date 20 Jul 09".
You may still be correct though, depends, where did you get that information from?

Vaporware ?
friend from London said they told him in T Mobile they won't be selling it unlocked....can anyone please deny that?
T-Mobile UK won't sell it unlocked, though there are plenty of other vendors who will (Expansys etc).
Regards,
Dave
don't live in the UK, have a friend going there and staying till July 23rd, was counting on him picking it up (tax free) :/
Well, the Expansys date has gone back to 20th July, so you might be in luck! Given that it seems to change hourly, it's doubtful though!
Personally I'm hoping that the T-Mobile website will have them available tomorrow as I'm out of contract and use T-Mobile anyway.

Thats what I got when asked for update on my pre-order. Is this true for all resellers? :-(
UPDATE at 10:25 on 03.11.2010: Clove website now says "First stock arriving today!"
UPDATE: at 12:00 on 04.11.2010: Clove just shipped my Desire Z! All gig stores in UK are shipping orders.
I've been told October 11 as the stock date for UK by an ebay reseller.
He better not be lying.
expansys also still names 11. October
The Release date is confirmed to be the 6th of this month and should be dispatched same day if not the definitely the 7th.

That's what I got told when I asked my seller... Hope he's right!
maybe it has something to do with loose hinges or missing storage reports for G2? I mean, I'd rather wait than get broken device in a rush.. but at the same time I want it NOW

that's because of the QWERTZ keyboard I think, for QWERTY it is still due 13 Oct (Expansys.co.uk)
My retailer still states the 8th Oct, however i dunno if thats an estimate or not. Not particularly desperate really since i have already placed my order so should be towards the front of the queue when they get them
I've ordered it through expansys in Italy and it's reporting October 11.
Amazon site says 1st Nov, but in my account it says estimated delivery 12th Oct... hmmm I also hope it is because they have sold out their first batch rather than just a rubbish ordering system (you'd hope not with amazon!).
t mobile said expect it to be on contract 20-25th
Amazon answered to my question about the new date (and if it comes with SD card) :
I apologise for the unexpected delay of your order.
I have researched the availability of "HTC Desire Z Sim Free Mobile Phone" and learned that its release has been delayed until November 1, 2010.
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.
Please note that this phone does not come with bundled micro SD card.

yea was talking to one of there advisor's yesturday
Play.com have changed their date for the Desire Z to 25th October - http://www.play.com/Mobiles/Mobile/...en-Mobile-Phone/Product.html?searchtype=genre
Well, I spoke to Handtec earlier, and they said they're waiting to hear from HTC today, and will update the website accordingly... To me, it sounded like they knew it would be delayed, but were just waiting a bit longer to update their website...
Spoke to play this morning. She said the delay is confirmed but they don't know whether its a simple straight up delay or a manufacturing issue. Im starting to wonder if It's something to do with the z hinge complaints people are having.

Expansys change release date to Oct 18
Is this one of those things where a retailer's HTC Partner Status means something? The retailer I have my preorder with is an "Ultimate Partner", and they haven't announced any delay yet.
As far as I was aware, Clove are a HTC Ultimate Partner, and they were amongst the first to say there was a delay... So, I think it's possibly just a case of there is truth in the rumour
Can't understand why not all retailers have changed their dates though...
According to techradar the UK launch date is now officially 1st May. They don't say the source other than
Samsung has announced that the Samsung Galaxy S2 will be heading to shops on 1 May, offering Android 2.3 and Samsung's Super AMOLED Plus screen technology.

Where Samsung announced it I dont know, twitter? There isn't even an S2 page on the Samsung UK website that I can find.
But good to know that this phone isn't far away. Cant imagine other country release dates will be too far away.
This ties in with the email Clove sent a member, so preorders wont be sent till the 3rd, but should be available in stores over the May Day bank holiday period.
http://www.techradar.com/news/phone-and-communications/mobile-phones/samsung-galaxy-s2-uk-release-date-1-may-942119
Edit: Engadget have also confirmed this, including the press release in the article. Much more useful.
http://www.engadget.com/2011/04/11/samsung-galaxy-s-ii-to-be-available-may-1st-in-the-uk/
The post also confirms HSDPA+ usage for the UK at "upto" 21mbps. First phone to offer this in the UK, surprised it isn't making the UK headlines more.
this has already been posted in other threads with a proper link to Engadget and with the source being Samsung UK themselves.
now how do i spend 20 days. times like these inspire me to build a time machine.
Well, I didnt think most people would look in a 30 page thread that was started by trolls. As you were posting I found the engadget link.
But most interesting is 21mbps internet. Will all carriers other than 3 revert back to existing plans of more than 500mb internet? Otherwise lets pray 3 get it on may 1st.
no problemo , a firm official UK release info deserves its own thread. I was just hinting that the info was HERE at xda , there was no need to go read other sites
Congrats UK fellows, you can relax now and just wait out your 20 days
This is the email i got from mobiles.co.uk
Hello Mr Miller,
Thank you for your email,
The handset is due for release the week commencing 25th April.
Should you have any further queries please do not hesitate to contact us.

But if I order the S2 online from clove for example, how do I will know which screen it has, what's the processor speed or graphic chipset...?

You are referring to my post here.
Samsung UK
We’re really excited to announce that the Galaxy S II, our slimmest and lightest smartphone yet, will be available in shops from 1st May 2011.
From the official Samsung UK facebook page
How much will it be?
This is probably the best time to sell my galaxy S.
Best to set a budget of around £500.
Wonder is Carphone Warehouse will have it available in store on launch day? If they do I'll go instore and pick one up.
I believe they have stated that it will be available after the 3rd May, Samsung will Ship on the 1St, and the 2nd is a holiday.

Why would Samsing 'ship' on a Sunday?
If you ask me, they'll be shipping the week before, ready for the retail release on the Sunday, and, as with most bank holidays, there will be plenty of people out shopping.

HEY MR ADm1N, i PosT rANDoM crAP TO LOOK COoL, BaN EVERY1 WHo RITEZZZZ iN THIS TOPiCX.
On relation to the topic. Yeh the proximity of the release of the Sensation may cause price plans to be reavaluated, especially as they are phones being released around the time of an uprgrade for HTC Hero/Desire users. Think I may take a trip to town just to admire lustfully at the screen and to count down the hours till my contract ends.
As Sensation has been I think said to be priced similarly to the DHD, will the S2 be similar to the S1 when it was launched?
Has anyone been on the phone to the carriers yet specifically Orange? My contract is up at the moment and I am just on a rolling 30 day contract whilst waiting for this. When i phoned them up last week the guy didn't have a notion about the SGS2 so just wanted to check on here before phoning back again.
Does anyone have any details about this launch which I understand takes place on the 27 Oct?
Go to Clove.co.uk
Check oit Clove.co.uk, they've been accepting pre-orders since 10/13/11. The buzz WAS it's release date would be November 1 - but it looks like they've done a 360 and are now stating it release could be 11/17 as originally announced.
I pre-ordered cuz of the earlier release date, they've already charged my card:, and now I don't know a damn thing!
I'm so confused

I'm not sure what they are planning to do. Would be nice with a live stream. I would love to see it and see if they are saying anything about ICS update.

It seems Clove is now saying that the release date is now "early-mid November" which is very disappointing. However, according to their Blog, anyone who accepted an invitation to confirm their order on the basis of a release date of 1 Nov can get a refund. If the original 17 Nov proves to be the actual release date then I'm not sure it is worth asking for a refund and risk not getting delivery on the 17 November or even before Xmas because you will have lost your place in the queue.

Clove are saying it could be "early-mid November" so it could be earlier than 17 Nov.

Do you think there is going to be a huge demand for this phone? I figured the price alone would hurt its sales. I haven't even put a pre-order in yet, as I figured places would have plenty of stock. What are people's thoughts on availability??
Hmmmm ........
I thought it was released already..... I know a couple ppl have them already wonder how they did that both in U K
Either way Looking to get one as soon as possible......
It's looking like mid November possibly later. Touch Wiz has to be able to handle Ice Cream (rumor.)
The release date still hasn't been confirmed. I have pre-ordered from expansys which says could be available on 28th. That's the next day of Samsung's 27th announcement.

Third party vendors on the german amazon claim to already have it in stock. However my "original" amazon will be delivered in "1 to 3 weeks".

Hm, I was thinking that too - in about a month this device will sell at least 20% below release date prices. By that time there would be reliable root and a decent Touchwiz ROM. An AOSP ICS ROM will also likely appear before the end of November.
Problem is, demand is going to pick up with the Christmas shopping madness, so prices will not be dropping as fast in December.
I will probably get myself one of tthese Notes towards the end of Jan. - the usual retail capitulation time of year. Will not pay over 400 euro for a smartphone - even 400 is ridiculous.
By that time I guess it's going to be clear if you guys early adopters like it.
Here is a site giving more details of the London Launch.

I don't think the device will drop 20% in 2 month. I took a look at SGSII, the price is still high, dropped 100 EUR in a year. Note might not sell the same number of phones, so you might be right, but phones don't lose value until around 4-6 months.(Unless Samsung announce: NO ICS FOR NOTE ) aftar that you et it for free

It is not being sold by Amazon UK, but by a third party dealer called Soteluk who are located in Germany and who are quoting a delivery date of 3-18 business days, so not necessarily an earlier delivery than UK based retailers such as Clove.

No need for a date. I get mine tomorrow!
Too bad they didn't say anything about "optional" nfc or ice cream sandwich os :/
Guess we'll have to wait for some proper response.
Gotta see white galaxy note when it comes out
