Does anybody know if there is a shop at Frankfurt Airport where One could become available on the 15th?
My wife also went to a shop at Glasgow, but they told her that preorders will be handled first and if there are leftovers, then she could grab one from the store.

Use this thread to ask questions about physical availability in stores and let others know if you have seen it somewhere.
there is an o2 shop near where you might have luck. I don't think there will be any other shop or provider in germany that has the phone before mid april. But that's just my conclusion on the statements on availability I heard and read thus far.
Same story
I went to the carphone warehouse yesterday to check I have been affected by the delays. The sales woman said that my order is still due for arrival on the 15th of March. It might be to do with the fact that I am an upgrade with orange or simply because I ordered early when the stock was still available.
Let's pray that it arrives as soon as possible.
Has anybody checked some P4U or 3 stores? Anything there?

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".

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!
Hi
SupereTrader.co.uk are the only mail order outfit in the UK that I know of that claim to have stock of the Experia. Expansys & Clove have sold out.
I phoned supertrader on Friday to ensure that they had stock - was informed that they had plenty; I agreed with the bloke that if I bought there and then, and paid their £15.99 Saturday delivery charge (Royal Mail Special Delivery), they would ship it Friday for delivery today.
Anyway, they never bothered to post it. My suspicion is that they never did actually have the device in stock. They have taken the money from my account (including the £15.99) Saturday delivery charge.
I've emailed them to cancel the order - as far as I am concerned they failed to uphold their side of the bargain.
So... for others thinking about buying an Experia, avoid this crowd - its unlikely that they actually have stock.
I checked out their ratings on the price comparison sites - and they appeared to be reasonable... not from my experience. If they could not ship it for Saturday delivery, they should have told me, and I would not have bothered ordering.

Let me tell you one thing superetrader is the best and I got my xperia 2 weeks ago from them and they delivered all the time mine was next day delivery and they delivered I always bought all my fones from them, and they never ever let me down it is the best supplier in the uk or world wise, be patient you cancelled to soon they have the black ones in stock, they just emailed saying they had the black ones but i am happy with my silver one from them,
I got mine from them
very efficent and helpful
next day delivery £507.99 not bad at all
highly recommended
I bought an Eten X500 from them many months ago , paid for Saturday delivery on Friday afternoon and had to take Monday morning off work cause they posted normal next working day service, never replied to my emails and i never got the promised call back from my phone calls
Hi
I suspect my story is the same as csw43's. Maybe it will arrive today, then I just have to get the excess £8 out of them for not sending it Saturday delivery as agreed, and wait until next weekend before I can get to the PO and collect it. They wont get my cancelation request until this morning so if they already posted it, I guess I will (eventually) recieve it.
We shall see.
Nigel
Does the website open?
Its getting redirected to a parked domain.
No such web site as supertrader.co.uk
The company is actually superetrader.co.uk
They mention to have +10 pcs of the xperia. Is this accurate?
Aye, spelt the name wrong - unfortunately, I cant change the title, have corrected the initial post. Phoned them this morning - they still claim to have stock.

Did you receive it?
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!

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.

EDIT sry but the price has gone up on clove since i bought it.. >.> like 15GB i think it was.. 20UDS?

I just read on hofo that the Xperia has been recalled. Can anyone confirm?
it's for cracks near stylus hole on some stocks, already deployed on the market and in stores, don't worry. At least if you don't have crack near stylus (check sticky)
is this why shops such as expansys has the black version in stock but no silver ones?
if i step on X1 screen, there will a cracked screen. will Sony recalls it due to cracked screen? haha

so basically you think what a few others do that any cracks on the x1 is due to user care?
Anyone care to tell me how this works because I live in the States and I bought an X1i from the UK. Can I just call SE and send it to one of their service center here in the U.S? I have a crack near the stylus also.

I doubt that! You might have to contact SE in the UK but at least it is worth a try - call SE US or write them an email ... see what they tell ya!
I just spoke to the Sony Style store in San Francisco. They did get in a shipment of approximately 12 phones last week, but were instructed to return them all. The rep said they received the correct phones (not the X1i, as some were speculating), and that they needed a firmware upgrade. They should get them back in stock later this week, early next (see 12/8 ship date at sonystyle.com). I guess we get to wait a little longer.

That bodes well for all of the users at the moment. New firmware!
I have spoken to 4 different sony style stores and have been told, their shipment of X1 where recalled due to firmware issues. But to my knowledge some sony style stores did not report this, frys electronics, and J&R have no idea about this "firmware recall."
There is no mention of this in an official sony or ericsson site and when I called the dedicated X1 support number on sonyericsson's site, the lady said they have not recalled any phones to her knowledge.
So the question is ... is the right hand and left absolutely clueless about what is going on? Should I just buy it from fry's and hope this "recall" only applies to the shipments to some sony style stores? I assume there is no firmware update available yet for the X1 and some people saying it has bricked their phone.
I don't want to wait any longer for this phone since I can buy it from frys now and it is just painful. But I don't want a brick either T_T. The tough gagdet choices in life.
I'm scared about hardware issues. Firmware/rom issues doesn't care as xda exists
Hi guys,
I need advice for buying from Comet UK the Asus EEE pad.
Now, I am not from UK, and without going into the details, I need it to be delivered to an address between the 1st of June (not earlier!) and the 3rd included (not later!).
If I am not mistaken, it seems that if you buy online you can choose the delivery date even for FREE delivery.
Is this delivery date reliable? can I risk delays or anticipated deliveries?
Many thanks in advance!
If it's in stock it will be delivered when they say it will.
Unless, like me, you live in the Highlands or another outlying area where it could take an extra 24 hours or more from what they state in their order tracking section of their site, you should be OK.
You might be better off ringing Comet and buy over the phone, ask if they can post it by Air Sure service for the date that you require.
Sent from my HTC Desire
i paid the £7.** postage charge to dundee, scotland and got it the day they said (quite early as well) as was delivered via parcel force.
Or you could check the online stock checker and go and pick one up from a local store if they have one in stock. They do a Reserve and Collect service.
I was lucky with mine, I went to a store that had stock so I knew I'd be able to play with a demo unit, but they also had an untouched return they had on clearance for £340, bought it there and then!
