[Q] HTC has now delayed release of the HTC Desire Z until the end of October.

Thats what I got when asked for update on my pre-order. Is this true for all resellers? :-(
UPDATE at 10:25 on 03.11.2010: Clove website now says "First stock arriving today!"
UPDATE: at 12:00 on 04.11.2010: Clove just shipped my Desire Z! All gig stores in UK are shipping orders.

I've been told October 11 as the stock date for UK by an ebay reseller.
He better not be lying.

expansys also still names 11. October

The Release date is confirmed to be the 6th of this month and should be dispatched same day if not the definitely the 7th.

That's what I got told when I asked my seller... Hope he's right!

maybe it has something to do with loose hinges or missing storage reports for G2? I mean, I'd rather wait than get broken device in a rush.. but at the same time I want it NOW

that's because of the QWERTZ keyboard I think, for QWERTY it is still due 13 Oct (Expansys.co.uk)

My retailer still states the 8th Oct, however i dunno if thats an estimate or not. Not particularly desperate really since i have already placed my order so should be towards the front of the queue when they get them

I've ordered it through expansys in Italy and it's reporting October 11.

Amazon site says 1st Nov, but in my account it says estimated delivery 12th Oct... hmmm I also hope it is because they have sold out their first batch rather than just a rubbish ordering system (you'd hope not with amazon!).

t mobile said expect it to be on contract 20-25th

Amazon answered to my question about the new date (and if it comes with SD card) :
I apologise for the unexpected delay of your order.
I have researched the availability of "HTC Desire Z Sim Free Mobile Phone" and learned that its release has been delayed until November 1, 2010.
As soon as the item has been released, we'll be able to dispatch it to you. As per our standard policy, we do not charge you for items until they enter the dispatch process, so you will not be charged for this item until it is about to be sent.
Please note that this phone does not come with bundled micro SD card.

yea was talking to one of there advisor's yesturday

Play.com have changed their date for the Desire Z to 25th October - http://www.play.com/Mobiles/Mobile/...en-Mobile-Phone/Product.html?searchtype=genre

Well, I spoke to Handtec earlier, and they said they're waiting to hear from HTC today, and will update the website accordingly... To me, it sounded like they knew it would be delayed, but were just waiting a bit longer to update their website...

Spoke to play this morning. She said the delay is confirmed but they don't know whether its a simple straight up delay or a manufacturing issue. Im starting to wonder if It's something to do with the z hinge complaints people are having.

Expansys change release date to Oct 18

Is this one of those things where a retailer's HTC Partner Status means something? The retailer I have my preorder with is an "Ultimate Partner", and they haven't announced any delay yet.

As far as I was aware, Clove are a HTC Ultimate Partner, and they were amongst the first to say there was a delay... So, I think it's possibly just a case of there is truth in the rumour
Can't understand why not all retailers have changed their dates though...

SuperETrader
I also emailed SupereTrader and they said that they will arrive from the 6th to the 13th. So im hoping before the end of next week !

Was holding off with my order but have just ordered through clove.co.uk so hopefully will have my hands on this badboy next week!

Their website states the 11th Oct which is still better then Nov.

Yer im confused as to what to follow .... maybe 6th is the date but they are saying 11th just in case there is a lil delay

What difference does it make 6th or 11th life goes on, enjoy what you have and make a difference to someone.

I hope you do get it asap. But when I ordered the HTC HD2 from superetrader they advertised as in stock & immediate shipping 2 days before the actual release date. So I rang them & they said yep we have 3 in now for immediate shipping so I ordered & waited the next day & the next, so I rang them & they said that they hadn't had chance to pack it & post it. Another day went by & nothing, so i rang & same excuse.
3 days later when everyone else was shipping did I get mine.
I won't be using them again.
Hope u have no problems with them, I just don't believe a word they say.

Ahhhh shoot...!

Shame, but I still keep finding new fun things to do with my HTC Desire, so maybe a little longer before I send it off to a new owner isn't too bad...
...
Nope, not good enough. I wish my new phone would f**king hurry up and get here!

clove in the only one that set it to oc 6 ? i hope so...

I'm fine with 11. That would be next week.

I went into Carphone Warehouse and Phones4U in Aberdeen today and neither had a clue when it would be in stock. One salesman suggested the end of November.
I accept there will be a delay between online and retail but even that seems a bit much.

I'm pinning my hopes on orange as I'm due for an upgrade now-ish. Hopefully they'll get their collective arse in gear and stock the HD before too long. However I feel I'm going to be waiting longer than I want to

I'm in the same shipping bracket (jan 15-22). It seems people with an expected shipping date of Jan 9 finally got their Adam shipped. So, we need to wait a couple of more days?

I'm the 15-22 also and have yet to get a shipping notice
Sent from my ADR6300 using XDA App

Rohan just posted unboxing photos of Adam in his blog.
Adams were shipped in 2 steps - China to HK, and HK to India. So, there is 2 tracking numbers for each unit and the 1st one (China to HK) is not share with a customer. So, I expect those people in the pre-order 1 batch will receive the long waited tracking number soon.

Got the email with TNT tracking info today ;-)

Congratulation!
I hope they ship mine (Jan 15-22) before the Chinese New Year holiday.

9th Jan pre-order here and also got shipping confirmation today!

got e-mail mine was shipped too

Most of the 15-22nd batch orders have been changed to shipping on the 29th this morning. Mine was.

Yes. Mine has changed to 29th too.

Mine, too. Jan9 to Jan15-22, now Jan 29. So, it's a shipment delayed, not pre-poned.

The February orders were preponed, ours were postponed. Possibly combining the February and late January orders
Sent from my ADR6300 using XDA App

OK, time for me to post here, every post I have made on the NI blog is "awaiting moderation"
While it’s not life altering it is a bit disappointing that my shipment has been moved from the 22 to the 29th, but I’ll patiently wait. It’s looking like a pretty good piece of tech and I love my gadgets
There seems to be a lot of people on the NI blog who think this tablet is going to change their lives, I hope they are not disappointed when it arrives, after all, it is just a computer. Yeh, it’s definately the leader in its field at a great price… but it is still just a piece of tech.
My speculation for why there are delays is that NI are buying production time in a Chinese factory, so actual production days are out of their control. Surely if it was their own factory the production line would be running continuously and we wouldn’t have batch 1 / batch 2. Just my speculation and I have been wrong once once or twice in my life before.

Same here. None of my posts on the blog make it either. My last one was a my 2 cents, hurry up and wait being something im use too, just chill no need to stress since the lucky preorders while have their adams soon enough and will look back and maybe laugh. I'm just hoping it turns out all good and I will get a chance to order also. Its just tech, will all be looking for our next big toy after this one....still eye'ing a kinect.

Mine is at Lisbon at this moment, but according to TNT they cant release it yet, and only tomorrow ill be able to grab it, but since i got to work maybe only at night ill be able to post some videos of the unboxing.
24 Jan 2011 11:34:24 Lisbon Shipment Awaiting Physical Release From Customs Controlled Area.

Same here... originally the 9th. Pushed back to 15-22. Now it's showing the 29th.
It was pretty clever of Rohan to blog about orders being "pre-poned" when in reality this only applies to the February orders which was the smallest batch of the pre-orders. Based on Rohans comment in the latest blog post, it looks like the next largest number of people were in the 15-22 range and their orders have actually been delayed yet again. What a creative use of the press...

[INFO] Another Delay from Comet

I have ordered the Asus Transformer on 13/4, and really looking forward to receive it on 21st as i have booked a slot on that day..
however the Comet rang me just before telling me that the transformer will be delayed AGAIN and won't get mine before 9th May! i was quite shocked and kinda disappointed with that (though i understood the supplies...) as i have pre-ordered it for so long and they told me there were stock available for me at the beginning.
Now i am holding a Xoom, but i will have to return it in 21 days if I have made up my mind on picking one of them, arghhh asus really fuc*ed me up

Doesn't bode well for my delivery due on the 28th then

yeah i do think about this once i heard the news..
would definitely send them an email before the deadline

I've just spoken with Comet after the dreaded answer phone message. I was due for delivery this Thursday and I have been bumped to the 9th May. They informed me that all 695 pre orders are going to be moved back and that no one will recieve one before this date. Sorry all!
Asus have failed to supply the number of Transformers that were expecting.
They also have no idea of when the keyboard will be coming into stock.

try carphonewarehouse, thats where i got mine last week, they had the one with the keyboard dock ready to ship out too, as one of the rep tells me on the phone while i was ordering the tablet from him.

They did that to me to. I phoned them and they have rescheduled the delivery to 3rd of May.

I had one on preorder from amazon from the 4th of April. They then bumped delviery to the 1st of June. The moment I got the email about the amazon delay I checked comet which said they had them in stock.
So I placed an order with Comet around the 12th of April. They took my money straight away and scheduled delivery for the 21st.
Had a phone call yesterday telling me they can no longer deliver on this date. Now I am sorry but to take my money and hold onto it for a week is disgusting if they dont have physical stock. my order was not a pre-order but a sale. I asked for an immediate refund and told them of their shocking behaviour.
I have always hated bying anything from DSG or comet stores and this just proves why. never again!!!
Good job I kept my pre-oder with amazon I am happy to wait until June now.
Comet sucks ass!!!

ebuyer still taking pre orders with 77 still available from 22nd april

just ordered one from laskys, claimed to be delivered on 26th.
with a quidco voucher code u would only need to pay 360.99

At the time of posting this. Ebuyer says that they have 40 in stock for next day delivery.

HTC One in The Netherlands / Belgium

As far as I know none have shipped in The Netherlands so far. Please provide any updates when you've ordered, when you receive any updates from the webshop or your unit is being shipped! Latest official information from HTC Benelux is that they "hope" pre-orders can be sent units from the 5th of April, but the official date they've promised so far is the 15th of April.
I've ordered a black one from Coolblue.nl on the 3rd of March and so far there hasn't been any indication of delivery, even though their webpage still shows first deliveries are expected on the 5th of April.
Here's an overview of all the shops that the phone can be pre-ordered from.

Studentmobiel.nl still have it down for 15 April dispatch
Actuele status: dit product is nog niet beschikbaar, verwacht 15 april

I ordered it from expansys belgium (not in your list).
Website says mine will ship in 5days now, mailed them today to ask about the htc media link hd i ordered with the phone since that one said ready to ship some days ago but now says 4days and seems not to count down anymore now

I ordered my on 23 march at wehkamp.nl...

That sounds like a way off estimate to me. I'm expecting one to be sent to me free of charge for certain reasons, and so I agreed to wait until the initial pre-orders and first rush had been satisfied, and I'm still being told to expect to receive it before the end of April.
Maybe you need to shop around some of the specialist shops rather than a big wholesaler of everything ...

I ordered from Handtec.co.uk but i also made a reservation at Belcompany (rotterdam) and Alternate. Handtec expects delivery on the 3rd so if i'm lucky I'll get mine the 4th or 5th. Belcompany expect the phone on the 5th and Alternate says "begin of april". So I'm really curious which one will show up first.

My preorder is dated 22 February from Coolblue! I'm sure all preorders will be handled according to date, that's only fair. Still, waiting is a *****. The worst part is that HTC isn't communicating. I wish they were a little more open about this, even if they have problems- tell us.
I'll update this thread when I hear more about mine.
I also placed reservations and orders at Amazon.de and Mediamarkt Berlin as I'm going there in a few days...

From what I've read online the first batch will arrive to some stores at the 5th but with limited amount. First this was supposed to be on the 1st.. The 15th most others will arrive.
I've ordered mine (the black one, pun intended) from gsmstunter. They expect it to arrive Friday or Monday.

I recognize this from my telecommunications company in Sweden, Tele2. When I ordered I was told 26th march. Still no phone. But this morning it was "Out of stock" and now its 6-8 weeks.
Telia (another telecommunications company) had 18th april, then this morning it had 4rd april and now back to 18th april.
This release must be a big fiasco.

really impatient to wait, you have ordered a black one, i prefer the sliver, and i would like to try it in the local shop, and decide whether should i change the new HTC one.

Orderd a black one at belsimpel.nl on 15 march.
Still no exact day from them when i will receive it although there site states 2 weeks for new ones.
Hope mine will come faster though as ive heard from customer service they will receive some at 5th of april
