Amazon.de just announced that Samsung postponed the release date for Galaxy Tab 10.1 until End of July. This is the third postponement in a couple of weeks.
I am really disappointed.
According to Telia in Sweden, the ones who preordered will get them by the end of this week.
Is anyone else getting a bit fed up with the waiting?
I thought it was known that 4th August was the release date, it is in the UK at least.
I thought the rest of Europe would have been the same?

For some reason the Swedish carrier Telia got a head start. They are selling them from tomorrow, 29. June, although I think with all the preorders they have none left in stock.
Here is the press release (in Swedish)
Btw: Workbench ftw!

Ah, thats interesting, am I correct in reading that the WiFi + 3G is 5300 Kronor and the WiFi only is 4400 Kronor?
If so, might be worth an import since I wouldn't need to pay customs from Sweden, or would I?

I'm far from an expert on this, but as Scotland is part of EU, as Sweden is, I believe VAT is included? But there can be special rules, like i.e. Swedes can't privately import your whisky They just won't send it to Sweden.
in the end, it's up to the buyer to check which rules apply.

I would think that VAT would be included in the Swedish price.
Would you have any links to any sites where I could look into buying it outright? Ie without a contract?
PS Yeah Workbench was software genius!!

It seems Best Digital offer the chepaest price and also HTC Direct. I am wondering if it is best to order through HTC Direct rather than someone I never heard of (Best Digital) in case you need a refund or return.
Also the shops in Tottenham Court Road in London may be a good place to buy and haggle for cash but I am guessing if a fault devleops in the phone, they won't exchange or give you hassle unlike dealing through reputable companies like Play.com, HTC Direct etc etc. I want to pay under £450 as over £500 is way too much for a phone.
I so want one now and HTC Direct says they will get stock in in under 2 weeks (31st Sept) whereas others say mid November. I have told myself after buying this phone I wont buy another phone again as this really seems to the best phone ever in what I want from a phone.
I just don't know who to preorder with or just wait and haggle in Tottenham Court Road.
Who are you pre-ordering with or have you already preordered?
tboy2000
I ordered it at www.digitec.ch.
BTW, it looks that they updated the delivery date to early november for the english version, up to end of november for the italian version...keep ready...
Never dealt with HTCdirect, and just in case you were wondering, they are NOT htc themselves, they are just a shop.
Expansys are usually ok, apart from the odd occasion where they buy dodgy grey import stock and sell them to get to the market early, and you end up with warranty issues.
Devicewire.co.uk are owned by brightpoint so they are usually pretty quick out of the gate with stock, and a good guide for the proper retail price and release date.
If you want to buy on TCR in London, then INKINO is your best bet. they are very good and knowledgeable and happy to help. There is another one around there that is owned by handtec (I think) and they can't get you out of the door fast enough once they've taken your money, and refuse to do anything to help if there's a problem. Best to avoid them like the plague....!
I order it yesterday here : http://www.pixmania.com/fr/fr/1761264/art/htc/pda-phone-touch-hd.html
My preorder has been in with Clove.co.uk for weeks now (over a month). It was £590+ (inc. tax) when I placed the order and it has dropped to £523 inc. tax now ....I hope they charge me the lower price when they do finally ship!
The site is still saying price and availablity TBC but they are also saying it is expected 11-Nov.

They buy their stock from Brightpoint UK, so they nearly always say the day after devicewire/Brightpoint....Surprised they haven't updated their date to the 1st of November yet. These two companies are only a couple of miles apart in Bournemouth and Poole.
I'll probably be ordering with Expansys USA.
I ordered at expansys germany. I guess they will be the first to get HTCs new device..

Amazon.de has a very good price. The guys from a german o2-Shop said, that the HD will cost about min. 700,- Euros without a contract.
nick
I don't know who are you guys going to preorder the Touch HD from but I just saw a broshure from one of the big mobile phone sellers here in Bulgaria and the HD was listed as avaliable and at a good price!!! 1299lv. Or 650 Euro! This is verry interesting and I'll check it monday when the shops open! Keep fingers crossed!
I get mine as a present, but know that official German retail is 660 euros. So Amazon incl. shipping is not too bad. I hope the HD lives up to its promises, since it marks my return to the WinMobile world, after exiting with Tytn I.
I know many of us North Americans are looking forward to getting our hands on one of these, so I figured I would create a spot for the Canadians in the room to share any information on availability and prices.

This might be a weird question to you, but do you have both qwerty and azerty keyboards in Canada ?
If only qwerty, how do you make accents and special french caracters like ùàçèé ?
All these questions because i would be interested in buying one from the US, but I wouldn't a qwerty keyboard.
At first I had planned on getting the slate only in the US and the dock back in France, but it sounds like the dock is going to cost 150€ if we do not take the bundle ...
ive bought a lot of stuff from pccyber, they are a local here in ottawa with 4 stores and 2 in montreal. i've never order anything from their website though. i wouldnt put too much on their release date on their website, i've bought my last two asus eee pc from them and they are horrible for stock and never know when they are suppost to get new shipments of stock. i had to check all 4 locations to find the one i wanted even though their website said it was suppost to be in stock so i don;t have much confidence in their site. i only bought the eee pc from them because they are the only local store that carried them and had a decent price. Also seems fishy that they are the only retailer in canada taking preorders...
anyone know if futureshop will be carrying this? i assume so since best buy is suppost to be carrying it and they own futureshop.
edit: i just noticed they changed the release date again to april 25, thats 3 times now.

French Canadians (i'm one of them) uses Qwerty keyboards. The same layout, with minor differences. And you can often buy "bilingual" keyboards: french and English characters are printed on the keys.
Hope this helps!
Actually, i haven't checked if the transformer keyboard can be ordered in Canadian Bilingual (refered as fr_ca)
I called both the local PCCyber stores here in Montreal. One guy had no idea when is this coming ("It might come tomorrow and I would not know today") and the other one said it'll come end of next month! When I said but your website says coming April 25, he boldly said "it's wrong".
*Sigh*
I'm travelling internationally on the 29th and this would have been the perfect travel companion but I have little to no hope of getting my hands on Asus Transformer
Edit: Although I should mention, 2-3 days ago when I talked one of the Ottawa store reps, he was confident he'll get it on 18th. He even said he knows I'm in Montreal but instead of reserving one for shipping online, if I can come to Ottawa and put my money down, he can give me one on the 18th in store. Good luck fellow Ottawa residents!
Amazon.ca orders are suppose to ship 5/9.
Amazon.ca is not listing the EEE Pad Transformer at the moment, though I understand it did at one point (and was quickly taken down). So I doubt any release date from their page is reliable.
I'm holding on for the Asus, as the Xoom is (now) overpriced and I don't want to wait anxiously for a software update to unlock the SD Card slot. And I love the keyboard dock too, hopefully it will come out soon after (it's a big part of their marketing after all).
LOL,
Available in Canada before it's available in the US.
Interesting marketing our friends at ASUS are employing....

If this ends up happening, I think it is because they do not have enough supply for the US and don't want bad press for not being able to keep up with demand.

While I would love for this to be true, I wouldn't place to much hope on PcCybers preorder page and wait for official news from Asus. It seems to me like they are just fishing for early preorders even though they have no idea when its coming out.
It certainly does seem like even Asus is not sure of when they can launch. It's getting frustrating..

sweet. Might pounce on one of these. A few questions first
1. Which site is more reliable? Has anyone ordered thru either?
2. How long does shipping usually take to the United states?
3. It says first units dispatched may 3rd? Does that mean if i place my order today it will ship that day? or will it be on backorder?

i'm from CA and i ordered from handtec. it was the cheapest out of all the sites i found. about 710 us.
Last time i check, about 2 days ago, they still had units left for preorder for shipping on the 3rd of may.
It takes 2-4 days to ship. Saw that on the website.
shipping cost about 14 pounds.

Got this from a post in gsmarena, sorry didn't know its a scam.
Im in CA too. Im just curious as to if there's a bunch of pre order before mine since they've been taking them forever that it wont even ship until later this month or something. Id need it by the 12th. You said yours was$ 710?

It's my first time buying from them so I'm not sure handtec able to ship on may 3.
I can sell you the 2nd sealed s2 to you after I got it.
there's a fairly good discussion about clove and handtec here.. maybe it'll help you decide which to choose.

I've used Expansys a number of times both in the US and UK. They have online stores in numerous countries. They will have devices from the UK available in their US online store which you can buy in USD without paying VAT. They also have online support forums which I've found pretty useful in the past.

Besides UK and Italy, no other european country has received the Transformer. It is listed on Amazon.fr and Amazon.de, but no date, just "available soon".
My hunch is it will be available on the second week of May, but does anyone have reliable data?
Acording with the oficial twitter account of Asus Spain, the Transformer will be available in Spain in the mid June.

Hi,
I ordered one to be delivered from microanvika to Czech Republic, I will let you know if something go wrong.
Listed as late may and late june respectively for wifi and 3g in Switzerland
Asus Finland emailed me that currently the likely release date over here is June.
Nordics largest electronics net store, verkkokauppa.com said week ago that their estimate is also June for the tablet and scandic keyboard.
Dunno why verkkokauppa.com doesn't have it on preorder yet. :-/
micro anvika has informed me that they ran out of stcok while proccessing the queue of orders, so I canceled my order there.
in Switzerland, stegpc will have some available items since 23 may. Nevertheless, the release date has already been shifted from 5 may to 23 may, so it may be shift again.

For the Benelux (Belgium, Netherlands and Luxemburg) the expected availability is the first week of june (Belgium a few weeks later), but that's only for the tablet-part. The docking will be available in July. This is confirmed by Asus Benelux on FB.

Carphone warehouse Ireland had some stock last week but unfortunately their staff weren't very clued in to this fact when I checked in with them on Thursday. Seems like only the Grafton Street guys knew about it. They were selling them for €399 but have upped the price to €430 now. More info in the boards.ie thread for any Irish people interested.

Well, I saw this the other day, and at first I thought it was an official Asus Page...

Now I think it's not an asus official web. Anyway, it says the transformer would be avaiable in Spain on May, 21th.
I haven't seen it anywhere (neither b&m store nor a web one). I have played with the Acer on a b&m shop, but no news of the transformer...

Is there any truth to the statement that this is only available via carphone warehouse? Wife wants one but its a $200 premium!
Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk
Yes, it appears to be only available (sim-free) at the higher price of ~£430 from both Carphone Warehouse and the Sony Mobile GB site. I think I read somewhere, maybe here, that it's to encourage buyers to take it on contract.
It is available with Expansys as well.
unfortunately expansys is the only company that asks you to preorder and put your credit card details in without telling you how much they'll bill. Probably hoping you'll forget to check (yes you can cancel)

Since today some Dutch webshops (and propably stores) have all the colors in stock and make no difference in price by the color you want.
Links to shops ? Ive seen nevermsrp and expansys exporting the green color so far.
Here's the green one going for $549. I just got an email from them asking if I still want to keep my pre-order. I'm a little unsure now since I don't know how warranty will work...
http://www.expansys-usa.com/sony-xperia-z3-compact-unlocked-lte-16gb-green-265640/
nvm turns out the product code has the phone name for expansys, 5803.
i asked them for some shipping ETA but they have no idea so far.
that said its the cheapest green 5803 exported to the USA so far. (obviously 100 bucks more than clove if you don't get green)
Here in HK its available in all 4 colours at the major retailers like fortress. Same price for all $4398 HKD. With a ton of extras thrown in.
Pity we don't get the noise cancelling headphones included...read in some review that certain countries get it with the phone.

it makes sense - thats the time they need to ship it from europe today, to them, including the weekend.
i dont think sony will ship earlier than expansys if they do announce US availability. But it might be not very far apart.
In general sony doesnt release to the US directly only through carriers and even so its pretty rare and very late. so generally expansys usa has them way before sony/carriers (month(s)). but this time around it could be that sony has them a week or two later who knows.
All I know is.. i should get mine next week at this rate
