If anybody here works for O2 Online, do you know how long the XDAII is going to be out of stock for !! ????????
I have been trying for like 3 weeks to buy one and all I get told is that they are out of stock and they have no idea when they will be back in !! Great customer service. !
Ta,
Rob.
If the distributor can't tell O2 when they will be back, O2 can't tell you.
Don't blame O2, demand has exceeded expectations, from what I hear, HTC is increasing the production rate.
You will get yours, probably with a better ROM that those of us who bought early.
Regards
Michael
Have you actually ordered one from them, or do you just ring up and ask?
I ordered my upgrade on Friday 20th Feb and had an email that it was out of stock but on the Monday 23rd I had an email to say it was dispatched and it had arrived by the 25th (3 Working Days).
Mind you I paid the full £350 for it , I heard that others have had better deals in the shops about the £200 figure (but I think the shops are having bigger problems getting hold of it with may having huge waiting lists).
Hi,
I have been calling the O2 Online upgrade line to upgrade. Think you might have taken the last one from their stock pile
Just tried them again and they told me to try calling again next wednesday
Ta,
Rob.
I've had a vodafone nightmare.
I called to get a pac code last week in order to migrate from vodafone to O2 to get an Exec. I was literally in the middle of ordering an Exec when Vodafone called me back and said, "We know you're leaving because you can't get an HTC Universal from us, well we've found one for you, we call it the Qtek 1620."
Erm, I said, that's not a Universal, it's a Blue Angel. Queue a long debate on the phone with them, the guy assures me it's definitely a Universal and even describes the rotating screen. I say fine, but please record my concerns...
Then followed days of broken promises regarding delivery... mistake after mistake, somehow they sent it to Newbury instead of Sheffield (easy mistake to make, of course!) and ultimately it arrived this morning... and guess what I received: A Vodafone VPA 1620, aka a Blue Angel. Grrr.
More long converstations resulted in, 'sorry but there's nothing we can do.'
So now I'm waiting for news on my order with O2 and deciding whether to return the 1620 or ebay it and maintain the minimum payments on the contract - I'd only be about £30 up in the long run but the cash in hand would be nice for Christmas.
And pity my poor work colleagues who've had to put up with my moaning about all this for the last week!

I'd return it - claim compo for being blatantly lied to and demand your release code and if anyone refuses you, escalate to the highest possible.
Returning my VPA 1620 to vodafone. They've given me some credit on my account (which is fine since my wife still has a vodafone handset on the same account) and made the expected copious apologies.
Ordered an xda exec from Mobilefun.co.uk which went through smoothly except for a statement at about 2pm 'yes it's in stock, in fact yours is being prepared for dispatch right now' to, at 4pm, "sorry we're out of stock - we should get some more in on Friday".
I'm beginning to think somebody upstairs doesn't want me to get a Universal!
This just isn't meant to be. Mobilefun now say they won't be getting any on Friday as O2 can't supply them, and they can't give any update on when they'll be able to. What a mess!
o2 stores have them in stock - either that or try onestopphoneshop
Probably because every man and his dog are buying them on cheap contract then ebaying them for a profit...
Not that its not a good idea, but a bit greedy and upsets the poorer people that want the phone and contract but dont have oooodles of money.
In Europe during the first 6 workdays after signing and 'activating the service of a contract' it can be cancelled without any reprecussions. During the first 2 weeks after something was 'bought' it can be returned to the seller to get a refund when a product doesn't do what you expect from it. Perhaps something to think of. This is settled by law and even if companies say it is impossible they never are above the law.
grtzzzz roel..
I'm not really sure whats going on with the o2 EXEC.
They are giving them away .. by the thousand weight.
I'm still waiting for one now, its on 'back order' and has been for some two weeks. They've even offered me an XDA IIi for free on o2 200!
I suspect they will either not have anymore of these coming in or something will change, probably the price or locking the sim/software to deter reselling.
Just hoping I get one now for the pre-agreed price and within my lifetime.
*sniff
onestopphoneshop don't have any. O2 say they do, but only at £150 :-(
hi
try this , a dedicated thread about how to get exec cheap
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=32105
Thanks but I am getting it cheap ..
£149 + £15 a month o2 400
I just dont seem to be getting the f*** handset.
Still waiting after two weeks!
I ordered Dopod 818 pro from Expansys HK site on 1/25. Even HK site shows 50 in stock. My order status still show "Awaiting Stock".
http://www.expansys.com.hk/product.asp?code=127899
When I ordered my universal, it was pre-release.
When it was released, i called and checked, and they said oh there is one left, I'll make sure you get it.... cheeky buggers, of course I should have got it. Then I got it straight away. I would suggest only because I called.
Subsequently (as if I hadnt learned!!!), I ordered a case and some accessories, at the beginning of december for xmas.... 13 days... bull..... xmas.... bull emailed and said WHAT!!! they blamed the supplier .... new years..... bull..... January came and went (now 2 months later!!!) so I called and went totally ballistic about thei inadeqacy and unprofessionalism and lack of service.... you get the idea (oh yeah, I threatened to expose their service to every major website forum using PPC's)
I got it 3 days later even though they were out of stock, even though their website still said 9 days to delivery (it had rarely changed.....).
It is finally on the UPS system.
After I placed order, eXpansys HK site once drops price to about US$600. I emailed to ask for PM. They took 3 days to rise their HK price to about $650 again. And and ask me to PM their US site price which is $749. What a great company to deal with!
I'm a little frustrated with waiting on expansys to re-stock. I ordered my device monday Nov 10th. After verifying the credit card mess they updated my status to "waiting to for re-stock". But whats crazy is that Expansys-usa.com says that they have some in stock. When i called and inquired about it, they said that its at thier central location and not thier usa location. Their just waiting for their next shipment.
I just want to order the device and it be on its way.
Sorry for venting, I just dont know where to order at and it actually gets shipped without any delays. I have tried searching via google and the websites dont look to promising. I know of Clove Technologies....but i thought that might be the same situation.

I just order today and now Expansys says that only have a new stock at 6 of December...
I ordered mine from Expansys HK, and they luckily had one piece in stock remaining, and i got it today, at my friends place in HK! (still gotta wait for it to come to my country! argh!)
I saw that Expansys UK has good stock, i mean, couple of days back, they had around 59 in stock, and were ready to ship it to HK if i wanted. (Coz expansys-hk had the last piece, so didnt order from expansys-uk)
i suggest call them up (UK) and find out of the stock position, dont go on what they say on the site!
Expansys US showed 1-5 in stock, and when i called, they told me they are out of stock! buggers!

Dear Friend,
How much you got it from expansys? And also how much did the indian customs charging you? i am all set to buy from Clove, is it a good decesion?
Expansys are shady, they told me when I ordered from them everything was in stock and would be dispatched same day (twice). However they didn't have stock, also was real nice to inform me as well. Cancelled my entire order with them (which was a few things inc an HD) and went elsewhere. Still waiting for them to put the money back in my bank account too....
Also in the UK they are actually a bit more expensive than other sites.

Hey there,
Dont even think of importing it via courier, else the Indian customs will levy a heavy duty on it, and even stall it for a couple of months!
I got it delivered to my friend's place in Hong Kong itself, and he will be bringing it along with him when he comes here in a week or 2.
Bought it for HK$6205 - VALUE PACK! (Around INR Rs.41,000/-)
Contains:
1x HTC Touch HD
1x HTC Original Car Charger
1x HTC Original CASE for Touch HD
1x HTC BT M200 Bluetooth Headset (i exchanged this with a JABRA one)
Possible solution
Well now I get. So here is my solution. I still have my order with Expansys. They do not have any in stock. I just called them an hour ago. They said they wont have any til late November.
So I ordered from Clove Technologies. Does anyone know if they have it in stock? I'm going to cancel my order with Expansys as soon as I know Clove have shipped it. Hopefully they have it in. Another user here informed me on how well they are with orders. Hopefully I can here something from them today.
Last, I know there will be some customs form I have to fill out....any idea on the added delay with that?
www.devicewire.co.uk have it in stock and they cost only £514 inc VAT. Hurry, they are flying of the shelves quick! I also have a £10 expansys voucher for the first person to ask!
"Over 30 In Stock" Yet Truly Out Of Stock

Just got off the phone from Expansys UK. They have got a back-order of over 300 to fulfill. Just to let you know if you are thinking of ordering. This is with the website saying "OVER 30 IN STOCK. IF YOU ORDER TODAY YOU WILL GET IT TOMORROW".
<rant>
It seems a tricky way of representing actual stock to the innocent buyer. Again that teaches us to CALL FIRST & confirm. Asking the key questions and not just go by what you read on the site. I'm sure they've got it all covered on small-print somewhere. You can cancel at any time though, they did say that. </rant>
Expansys lying on delivery date
As most of you have ordered my HTC HD from expansys Hong Kong at the time they were saying it should be delivered with 6 days. Since them the delivery date has been postponed and postponed. Therefore I have cancelled my order because the device will be available in any Hong Kong shops at the time of their delivery.
I am lucky enough to have my office close to their Hong Kong office. Therefore I cannot resist to go there to explain what I thing about their lies.
I ordered one from Clove and they dispatched the second day..
I'm from China and the phone's already arrived at Hong Kong today.
I should get it tomorrow
Just to throw my 2 pence in about Clove Technologies - I ordered my HTC Touch HD from them last Saturday, and the phone arrived on Wednesday. It would have arrived on Tuesday, but they had to do an extra security check to ensure I was the cardholder (which I respect quite a lot). So all in all, a very positive experience with them.
It's a shame that the price from Clove is £539.33 including VAT though....

I ordered from clove too. very fast service. btw, i have ordered mind in expansys and they keep delay the order, the worst part was that when i ordered it showed in stock and once i placed the ordre they told me it will be delay... end up cancel and order from clove.

Wed? i was suppose to get it on Friday morning but stupid fedex took to long and the phone missed the flight. so i have to wait the weekend. getting it tomorrow or else im going to yell at them.. the total price was about 482GB but thats not inc VAT since im from the USA.. it was about 720USD + 20credit card fee for being international (LAME).. but yea.. it was good transaction. EDIT sry but the price has gone up on clove since i bought it.. >.> like 15GB i think it was.. 20UDS?
