HTC ONE UK available in physical store? - One (M7) General

By the end of the next week I will be in London. I have seen on the web a lot of people with their HTC One and the most of them said that it was available in physical store like p4u, carphone and so on, SIM FREE...Is it true?
If it is, please can you address me where to buy it?
THX!

Mine will be with me on Tuesday :good:

I went into 3 different p4u physical stores yesterday and they didn't have any in stock. Guy took my phone number and name, told me he would call me when stock arrives! Just got a phone call today saying they have some in stock in the physical stores but im annoyed because I won't have time to pick it up this weekend will have to get it next week.

These were p4u stores in South London. He told me that the stock has arrived in many p4u stores around London so I can now pick it up from anywhere I want.

T-Mobile UK. Rang 'em up, did a deal, phone will be here ASAP.
Could have collected in store but couldn't be arsed.
So glad I waited it out and I didn't buy a Nexus 4.
edit: 500th post. Happy post day to me!

I went into a P4U shop in Sheffield today and they had a dummy model on view. I asked if they had any real ones to show me so I could see the interface, the guy went round the back and said they had them in stock (and showed me one in its box) but they couldn't sell it until the 24th!

P4U Croydon has them and can sell them £490. But the other P4U in whitgift centre also has them but not allowed to sell them sim free. But it's £460 there. Still thinking about it. Shall I? .

If I had a choice I wouldn't go near P4U, proven by the fact that two P4U stores in the same town with different price and different policies!

Samsung Galaxy Note launch in London tomorrow.

Time
03 November · 12:30 - 14:30
Location
The Carphone Warehouse
272-274 Oxford Street
London, United Kingdom
I guess this is the UK launch for sim free and contract phones, (rather than the EU phones that us early adopters have got).

Was it well attended?

UK orders delayed?

I pre ordered my G2 about a month ago and rang Car phone warehouse to confirm my delivery for tomorrow which they did state at the time of ordering that i would receive the phone on the 1st October. The lady dealing with me put me on hold and came back a few minutes later and told me that no stock had been received and it will be a few weeks before they start to ship them out.
Has anyone else pre ordered and found out that the phone has been delayed?
all over the Netherlands thats the case. I got mine by sheer luck. Was searching all merchants and found one awesome one that had it in stock. maybe with luck you can do the same.
I was looking for the Z1 last Friday in the Netherlands, at the mediamarkt They didn't have any, however by surprise, the lg g2 was already available and in stock.by the looks of the device and the fact the screen is superb I immediately got one on contract. They only had 2 though, so i guess there isn't a lot in stock, since the major Dutch providers, and phonestores don't present it as in stock. Lg Netherlands however posted a tweet that both the 16 and the 32 gb version should be available this week.

Its amazing how one person can tell you one thing and the next another lol She even tried to encourage me to cancel my order. She went away to ask a manger and she even raised a ticket to "higher up" to see why they advertised the phone for the 1st October when they knew they wouldn't be available,Id be amazed if i had a delivery email from them this week and i know this has happened before with them on the HTC One!

I'm in Australia and have had one on preorder from an aussie supplier here for about a week. I just got the despatch email this morning saying it was on it's way ..... from Hong Kong!!!
Maybe they are delays getting them shipped out in large volumes overseas?
Just spoke to carphone warehouse and they now have it in stock! being shipped for delivery tomo! although without the free printer and case as this is not in stock yet and i would have to wait for that to come in stock before they could send the phone! seems like a convenient way of delaying the order.

I was using a loaner s7 edge, and I turned in everything. The new Note was completely brand new in box with all accessories.
I brought only the phone. I kept all the accessories. I left with the new Note 7 still in the box. They activated it in the box. Wouldn't let me leave without activation, but talked them into not going through the setup there.
Just say you do youtube videos of the unboxing and you need the box sealed and they 'should' let you.
I also heard of someone saying 'UPS left me the phone sealed and not activated, I expect to leave here the same way'
I just swapped mine out today at my local corp store. I had my old box in the car just in case I needed it. They let me keep all the items in the new box and did not request any of the old items back. They only needed the phone.

im in west valley utah and they saying they have the replacements but cant start movin em till tommorow!! thats such B.S.
I pre-ordered and purchased my original Note 7 from Sprint.com. I was able to replace mine today. (Here's a more detailed writeup). I had to call around to several stores to find one with new Note 7's in stock. Don't just call one store - call around. I was also able to keep the old accessories (I did turn in my old headsets by mistake, but I don't care about them). The new phone does not (yet) have the green battery indicator.
Good luck this week folks!

I just got my replacement from Best Buy and I was the first person that the Mobile department employee did the recall with and he had to read all the instructions before he could give me the phone and he did read that the phone needs to be in excellent working condition and not damaged.
