Just received a txt from O2 to let me know with "apologies"
I'm absolutely gutted as I most likely will miss out on sending in my I9100 to Samsung to exchange for a smart camera. (unless I can get something cheap to coast on for a week...)
I have had a HD2 previously and have missed the sense and build quality (resorted to a Taurus case to give my sgs2 a bit of weight and durability)
Maybe I will see what the sgs4 has in store :/

Very disappointed to know about your order delayed, I am also worried about my one from P4u let me call right now and ask about it....
btw from what deal you and and from where?
---------- Post added at 06:09 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:59 PM ----------
Just had chat with P4U but their answer are not precious or much helpful:
"Thank you for that I can see here that your order is pending the stock for release, we do not have any update to say there is a delay on this handset so we expect it to arrive as per the release date. You will receive an email to confirm the dispatch and we do pay for next day delivery although we do ask you to allow up to 3-5 working days to receive this in case of any courier delays."
That sux for EU, maybe HTC is shipping most of the One for US release

When you order the HTC One from o2 you get free beats in ears .. at least that is the deal here in Germany.
The earbuds aren't that great, but it's still a nice addon
are o2 offering you anything as a gesture of goodwilll ??
Vodafone offered to take a month's bill off for me the last time such a thing happened
I really wonder why I never see anyone out of the US with a HTC smartphone, mostly droids and a whole bunch of iPhones.
Too bad Europe has to wait because of the production delays and the USA devision of HTC which get most of the first bunch of phones. (Dont get me wrong I'm really happy for you Americans, but I aswell want this phone asap, my Desire Z is absolutely done after more than two years )

Hope yours isnt delayed. Wonder if this is a handset supply issue?
After ordering mine I trawled through all my local phone shops to see if I could get my hands on one to get a feel of the premium finish. Only one with a dummy was phones 4 u.
carphone warehouse guy told me he was waiting for a dummy 2 days b4 release (this was today) but would not comfirm when that was.

funnily enough I had just read about that 10-15mins before I got the text.
Not sure, I had originally ruled it out as everyone else seemed on track for the 15th.
now, the more I'm reading, the more I'm inclined to agree.
I've managed to dig out my wife's old 1st gen iphone ....
Man, the next couple of weeks are going to draaag....
At least I can try and skin it with grogorz Dusk theme Sure I have seen a forum thread somewhere.
Just had a look on the CPW website and they are now saying delivery "expected" March 29th. Holy Cow.
And soon everyone else will follow. The germans took them.

If the US is getting the first batch of phones how come Pre-orders aren't open yet
If there is a delay expect to see the few people who do get one putting them on ebay at ridiculous prices.

Strange, this is what I found earlier today : http://www.gsmarena.com/htc_one_might_get_delayed_due_to_components_shortage-news-5667.php
"Even though HTC promises to launch the phone on March 15, lots of markets might not get it before May (at the earliest). HTC has already declared the USA market as a major target, so if the rumors come true it's likely that other markets might not get the smartphone for months."

I have just spoken with T-mobile loyalty team, I was chasing up where my Leo is. The lady stated there had been some issues with the previous batch of handsets and that further testing was being done before releasing any more devices.
1 Am I being told the truth?
2 How long does this testing take?
3 If problems are found how quickly will T-mobile be able to flash a fixed ROM to all their stock?
4 Will I get my Leo before Christmas?
I would really like to believe that T-mobile are being honest and that very soon I will have my Leo hopefully with all the issues identified on this forum fully resolved.
Am I being naive?
Ordered mine online on Sunday the 29th Nov and recieved it on Thursday 3rd Dec.
I do have a mate that works in T-Mobile and said that as soon as the stock is coming in they are going out just as fast and having worked for a mobile phone company in the past the staff do get told a load of rubbish at times.
I phoned up t-mobile UK today to order one, to be told they were out of stock. A new batch is expected Friday.
I've spoken to o2 at least 8 times today and in one of the calls I was told that part of their problem was having to send all the stock they had,along with returned faulty devices, back to HTC for "repair"...what's that funny smell? is it lamb,fish,bear...no its bull!

This would cost HTC a fortune. I wonder if the repairs are to flash a new ROM ?1.48+ or actual hardware repairs eg. new camera module. Are existing users going to have their handsets recalled? If a handset is "repaired" will it be classed as new or refurbed?
Nah, I smell something too.
It is probably just another example of getting a different response from which ever droid/lovely customers service rep. you speak to. Best just to keep ringing up until you get the answers you want and then believe that person.

i got one online from tmobile bout a week ago and mines running 1.43 and i`v had no major issues with it at all. i`v had to soft reset once due to phone hanging, but believe me its had a good seeing to, i havent put the thing down!!. as for the camera, mines not too bad. got the slight pinkiness problem but nothing that cant be sorted with a few tweaks in the camera settings i`v read about. i think htc mis-judged the demand for them plus some dodgey batches thrown in the mix. good luck on getting one anyway jus keep pestering them!
Just got off the phone with Hayley at T-mobile.
They are expecting 2000 HD2s today and tomorrow. I have been told there are less than 2000 people on their waiting list for HD2 so fingers crossed, touch wood and rub the lucky rabbits foot and I will have my phone within the next 2 days.
Ive been waiting for 2 weeks for my upgrade phone. Every time same story, more expected Friday. And when "I" asked about rumours that there had been some probs with the phones, the lady went off to check with her manager and came back and said, nope, they had only heard wonderful comments about the phone.
Still i'd rather wait for htc to fix any issues if they are doing that right now.

That's interesting. I just got off the phone with Francis at Tmobile. She couldn't tell me anything, except that they'd had a consignment today. No numbers on stock or on how many are waiting for it. Nor how far down the list I was. She did agree that for some reason Tmobile had underestimated the demand for this phone.
I think it might have something to do with the iphone judging by what went on at Voda.
And I've been on the waiting list for 3 weeks and it should have been 4 but they cocked it up. I better get it before Christmas!

I am well and truly p*ssed off. (I hope I wont be edited by a Mod like I have been on the T-mob support forums)
Today I got to speak to Dennis who laughed at the mention of 2000 handsets arriving today. I was lied to yesterday.
No idea when more stock arriving.
No idea when I might receive mine.
No idea about customer service.
No customers if they keep this up.
200 handsets arrived today and after waiting for a month with Vodafone's mis-information, I switched to T-Mobile and bagged one of those 200. It seems the only way to get an HD2 is to show no loyalty and swiwtch providers
I guess I got lucky as I got through to a really helpful saleswoman.
Just buy an unlocked one and get it right away. I did and I'm in the US. Of course I had to have it and paid $875. But it was worth every penny. I use A&tt now but thinking of going to T mobile. BUt since its unlocked i can use it forever anywhere.
Does anybody know when and where you can get this phone when it comes out? I called T-Mobile (I know they're not going to sell it, but was hoping for some information) and they knew even less than I did. Everything I have read said you must purchase if from google. $530 with no contract or $180 with a two year agreement and you only have one plan to pick from. The supposed retail date is January 5th. You would think they would have done some sort of advertising or at least have something come up on a Google search.

Google is in Mountain View, CA. South of San Francisco. Still in the same time zone as Seattle.
The press conference starts at 10 am, so who really knows. How likely are they to open up sales 1 hour before the conference starts? Actually, I would open up sales today if I was google, and let everyone order but the shipments don't arrive until 10AM the day of the conference.

We have root!!!!!
Stericson and PaulOBrien have successfully rooted the Nexus. Even with the price, this even more of a must buy for me now! http://twitgoo.com/aqr00
I'm more interested in the business model for the N1 in this side of the pond.
How much would it cost in Europe?Who will be selling it?Google or HTC? Which carriers would have it for sale?
So far there aren't any news/leaks/rumors regarding the n1 in Europe, so I guess only at 05/01/2010 we will have the full details.
Wow, didn't take long to get it rooted huh? Instant buy for me. Can't wait for that Android 2.1, AMOLED, 5.0 MP w/Flash, 3.7" screen, and 1GHz Snapdragon Processor. Just can't wait!
it will also be possible to buy it at google.com/phone and ship it to europe. Guys at engadget.com have the full terms of sale wich say that this will be possible. Only thing is you will have to pay taxes and the shipping ... but I don't care bout that, just wanna have that phone ;-)
has anyone read the terms and conditions, it says phone might be 430. hope thats true not the 530 thats a little high

I'd also like to know about European release. Hopefully it will be released with HTC Branding (hey I like to rep HTC )
I don't think the rumours of the webpage are true tbh. Although strangely in the terms they make you agree that you understand the phone is made by HTC and not Google =/
After the press conference details, this will be the hottest device on the market! A must have!!
guys, yall gotta check this out!!!! http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/30/nexus-one-trounces-3d-benchmark-gets-caught-in-high-res-photosh/
oh damn, they removed the 10 min video already!
Nexus One Group on XDA already!!!
Whats all the talk about $29 data SIM about? I wish Google would put some more information out there. I am really looking forward to grabbing one while they're hot.
If it gets released in europe (or ships from usa without tax) i'll sell my iphone and get it asap.

Well, Clove apparently have sent email about the delay of DHD release till the end of the month, and said all sellers will face the same problem due to Google Testing (which I have no idea what is the point). Anyways, everyone should start to STOP waiting as things will be better when you least expect them, agree?

Absolutely. Of course we're all looking forward to receiving our new Desire's of the HD form factor... but the wait is almost quite exciting - just keep checking those email inboxes for 'Your Order Has Been Dispatched!'
Not to mention I have come to the conclusion that I have far more important things going on in my life... like 'life' itself.
It'll arrive within 26 days, we know that much at least!
I'm waiting for amazon to confirm it and so far they have denied it.
So hope is still alive

Clove is far more likely to be right about this than amazon. Sorry
I spoke to someone at Vodafone this morning, and they haven't heard of any delay.
It's possible the rumours that the carriers are getting them first is true. For the sake of 5 days or so I'd rather wait for the Sim-Free handset I'll get rather than the branded version from Vodafone.

True. If I get one via Carphone Warehouse, it should be unbranded shouldn't it? Really don't want a branded phone.
If carriers are getting the phones before sim unlocked ones are out, then that's still good news because we'll have users here who can give us their impressions. All i want is someone here who can answer all our questions and doubts about the phone.
My provider delayed the phone till the 22nd of october. It was the 18th.
Confirmation from Superetrader
Just got this e-mail from superetrader saying that the DHD will be delay until mid to end of the month.
See attachment for the e-mail
lol vodafone branding doesn't mean its locked just has some branded software installed, and a bit of rooting can fix that!
Carriers have usually got the phones first, not sure if this was the plan all along. Looks like the DHD with Vodafone will be the awesome black one. Any chance of these being unbranded/full of junkware? Would love to pick one up after seeing a few reviews..

Based on what? I've been a phone freak for years and i've never heard of them. Amazon are the biggest online retailer in the world and indeed they posted the HD on there site BEFORE it was announced. So sorry, but I'd trust Amazon over a site i've not heard of.
No one else has heard of a delay and none of the gadget/Andriod blogs are reporting one either. Play have jumped the date by a week. But other than that there is no news of a delay (even Google News aren't reporting one)
Added to which most of us had never even heard of "Google testing" until yesterday. Anyway whats to test? the hardware is pretty much the EVO and the software (although slightly updated is the same as the Desire)

I hate to ask this, but how on earth can a mobile like the Desire HD fail Type Approval testing?
Do people here even know what Type Approval Testing is?
Surely, when designing the phone, they would try to meet the specs, and Type Approval would be given pretty easily...
I'm not one to fuel this kind of bullcrap topics, but if the reason given is "type approval", you can be sure they are making "regular"/detalic customers gobble up quite another load of bull****, betting on consumers' lack of knowledge (about the slang).
In the case of cellular technologies/GSM/3GPP, FCC certification is responsible for the TA.
Unless the acronym TA was misintrepreted, it would rather be Telecommunications Approval, but then again, this doesn't change anything. It's still FCC.
This has NOT A SINGLE DAMN thing to do with Google.
Type Approval simply means, has it met the required specs that are set out. There is a safety/min spec etc that it has to meet.
They wouldn't be doing that days before release. No way. Let's just take it as follows:
htcsense.com isn't ready yet. That makes a LOT more sense, than the phone hasn't passed a test.
BTW, expansys still have eta stock date to the oc 19...
Hi All,
Im questioning this, but i thought i would share what i just chatted about with a local p4u shop.
short story: Was told it might be able to buy as early as the 1st of March.
long story:
I went in to ask if i could pre order to pick up from store (i knew i couldnt but i was hoping they would hold one
for me or something like that )
Guy said let me just check when there coming in, he mentioned he was getting a single unit delivered today
and i was free to come back and play with it. Obviously i said yes to this as only one ive played with has been in a big
metal shell. So im waiting on a phone call for that.
But he seemed to think i would be able to buy the phone from this Friday (1st march). He did mention that he wasnt 100% sure on this
and did say dont pre order it online as it takes 4 days to process it and you wont get it before, so it could be a ploy to get me to wait
til its in to buy it from them.
This is only a tiny local p4u shop so the fact its getting a unit delivered today would suggest that they have a fair few in. So mabye they
are giving a few out before hand to those special customers (i wish)
The fact they all knew what the HTC one is shocked me, ive been in phone stores when a new phone has just been released and they
dont even know what its called!
I dont want to say the local store name as they did ask me not to tell anyone i would get to play with one.
Any opinions/thoughts?
Personally I think they are getting Fridays mixed up, but a man can dream.
If i get hands on it i will try and get a few photos/video if they let me.

SFR (french mobile operator) announced it yesterday on their website dedicated to android.
You can take a loot at it : android[dot]sfr[dot]fr/htc-one-chez-sfr/ (french) (I can't write a link because i'm a new account :/ )
Very interesting if that is the case I will cancel my preorder and just get one in store instead in a week or so.
Maybe HTC have decided to pull the release date up so they can trump the Samsung attempt at trumping them ...
but SFR are really only declaring that they'll have it available "first on their web site on March 5th" and then 'progressively' to all their shops ... so it could be an earlier release is imminent, or it might just be a marketing ploy by SFR to get in front of the other French providers by making it look as though they will get it out sooner. We all know about mail order and delivery delays eh ???

are giving a few out before hand to those special customers (i wish)
The fact they all knew what the HTC one is shocked me, ive been in phone stores when a new phone has just been released and they
dont even know what its called!
I dont want to say the local store name as they did ask me not to tell anyone i would get to play with one.
Any opinions/thoughts?
Personally I think they are getting Fridays mixed up, but a man can dream.
If i get hands on it i will try and get a few photos/video if they let me.

P4U in the Bull Ring centre have had a unit to play with for a few days..........shops with demo units.
I've been trying to find other places to play with the One but no one else seems to have found anywhere.

yer i know i was one that told people. Problem is the one is in a big case that you cant move, i.e. you dont get a feel for the phone
the design and cant use either of the camera's.

Maybe HTC have decided to pull the release date up so they can trump the Samsung attempt at trumping them ...
but SFR are really only declaring that they'll have it available "first on their web site on March 5th" and then 'progressively' to all their shops ... so it could be an earlier release is imminent, or it might just be a marketing ploy by SFR to get in front of the other French providers by making it look as though they will get it out sooner. We all know about mail order and delivery delays eh ???

IMO when they say 5th of march it only say available on the website from the 5th of march to pre order it and not to buy it.

I don't know, SFR has often some exclusiveness (nexus 4, purple XZ, etc.) so I think the ONE will be available on March 5th but only for SFR. I'll contact them on twitter, we'll see what are they gonna say.

I hope it's true. Don't forget the Xperia Z is launching on March 1st and pre-orders have been good so far so the sooner the ONE is out the better. Hopefully they don't have supplies issues with the ONE and I'm praying the 64GB version is out at the same time.

yer the 64gb would be nice but i really cant see it happening. (read somewhere htc said it was official it wasnt coming to the uk via twitter??)
I think they release it after 2 months to try keep sales going/when the s4 goes on sale.
But tbh 32gb will be enough for me, just hope most of it is usable!
So SFR answered me on twitter : " Hello, for the moment we don't have information different from those accessed from the page provided. It will be an open order though. " Raaaaa,

I think you're right. Larger capacity items almost always seem to come later. Mind you Expansys dot ca has it listed and is taking pre-orders so maybe at most 1 month wait?
Release date in Italy said to be on March 8th.

Re: HTC One early launch???
Spoke to HTC IN work and the UK launch was meant to be the 8th but has been put back to the 12th but was told that could be subject to change

Yes. Tweakers sucks with their overbearing mods. It's so oddly formal and stodgy over there. Let's keep each other abreast of the latest!
What's wrong with Tweakers?
I don't visit their often, because I don't speak Dutch that well.
Anyway, from what I read, the pre-order won't start before November 18, 2014. I don't know if that's true.
http://androidworld.nl/nieuws/nexus-6-pre-order-uitgesteld-tot-18-november/
And it would be sucks if the store only have 32GB version.

I wouldn't mind the 32gb version, owned a 64 gb htc and I never really used the extra space, don't really store a lot of pictures/music on my phone...
but my LG G3 screen just broke and it hurts to wait that long... if that's just the pre order then shipping will be at least a week later
I just hope it get released (in NLD) through Google Play, but the feeling I got after the way US got treated on the pre-orders we're pretty much screwed. Seems that on previous devices the Play Store price was (slightly) lower than with 3rd party retailers.
All I need is a confirmed date and price, so I can decide to wait for it or move on. My S3 is slowly losing it so I want to replace it in the next 2-3 months.
If it gets a release / pre-order for €565 for 32GB, then I'm buying. Midnight Blue!
32GB will be enough for me, I got the same amount on my S3 at the moment. If I need more storage, there's Drive, Dropbox, etc.
And yes, Tweakers can get a bit "formal" at times
The Nexus 9 is now available for pre-order in the NL store. I don't think I've seen a Nexus device of any sort so soon appear. Gives me a slight bit of hope at least for the appearance of the Nexus 6.
so... you're from antarctica? want to get your hands on a nexus 6? allready know where to get one?
whatever! let's keep each other posted! follow this thread
Also hoping to get it soon by play store or Else. Perhaps mediamarkt germany are selling them again quick. Got my Nexus 5 there.....

Interesting story there. Here, the stores always refer to the manufacture's warranty and leave it up to the brand to fix or replace it. That's pretty good customer service, for Europe at least.
Retailers are obligated to handle warranty issues in the Netherlands, not the manufacturer.
Also a 2-year warranty period is issued to consumer electronics.
Based on the last few years, I think the retailers here are always late, compare to UK or Germany. But, probably that's how it works on this kind of industry, I don't know why. I bet the retailer in Germany would get it sooner.
But, checking the Nexus 9 on the Play Store The Netherlands, it is THERE available, leaving warehouse in just 1 - 2 days. And the Nexus 9 is officially on sale starting today. Thus, Play Store is not late!
I hope, this would be the same with Nexus 6. If any indication, it could be November 12, as said by T-Mobile U.S. And heard the "full review embargo" would be lifted that day as well.
We can only hope, can't we?

This Moto might be released here:

But I counting on the N6 being released here. Coolblue also has the N6 set for pre-orders starting from 18-10.
They provide the option of email notification when it can be ordered.
If we could only get conformation of the price tag...

Wait, if something goes wrong with a device and it needs to be serviced or possibly replaced, what does the retailer have to do with it beyond the return date? Or, can you really bring the device in to the retailer and have them arrange service?

Yes.
According to Dutch consumer laws the retailer is obliged to extend warranty services during two years.
Either they get it fixed or replaced, that is up to retailer.
Of course, if the defect isn't covered by warranty costs may apply.
