Hi,
In anyone here a resident of UK and knows as to when Xperia will be available there? (may it be on contract or without contract)
I ask 'cos my cousin is coming here next week and i'm thinking of asking him to purchase it for me. Would be better than waiting for it to arrive here God knows when.
Best Regards.
Expansys have an ETA of the end of October at mo...
Expansys is claiming first stock of Black on the 29th and Silver on the 30th
And both play.com and mobilefun saying 1st november and both considerably cheaper than Expansys too.

Ok expansys price is over the limits, but I believe that when it reaches the release date the price will drop to the competition levels.
mobiles.co.uk have it now on pre-order for 27th october
http://www.mobiles.co.uk/sony-ericsson-xperia-x1.html
And the o2 tariffs at mobiles.co.uk seem the best value, especially the £35 per month option (you reduce the tariff after 9 months)
At mobiles.co.uk, it seems to me that the best value is the £45 Tariff. It works out at £630 in total (same as £35 tariff) with the 8 months half price option, the phone is free, plus you get more included minutes. So, it's cheaper & better... as long as you remember to claim the half-price line rental along the way.
Not sure what O2's data is like though, so may look to T-mobile.
Argh typical, I just get my TMobile compact IV....today and mobiles.co.uk annouce that. My other contract was up on 25th so I needed a phone, I could have waited till 27th....but then again I got my phone on a 12 month contract which works out nicer plus I got £100 cashback so even better.....that kinda sooths the pain
LOL I said all along that they will keep delaying it, when june comes it be july when july comes it be august when august come it be september when september comes it be october and so on At least they are predictable at predicting the next release hmmmm lol S.E are brillant, I predicted they would do that, I feel a little sad for them to be honest, every thohng isnt going good at all, Profits down, poor moral, I suggest them to go into liquidation and let the big boys take over, they did make a nice phone in the k750,
tut my condolescense do go out to them, the saying Goes
"If you cant deliver .....keep your trap shut" lol

Your last line is so true.
Their (potentially best on the market) phone's delayed, so close the company?
Hi all,
VodaFone had a delivery of X1's this afternoon no idea how many are left but retentions were calling those of us that had expressed interest. Mine will be with me on Monday and i have read elsewhere that CPW also had a delivery but were fulfilling peoples pre orders first.

Just for giggles shall we put down all release dates that you have heard for the hero
I know of:
3rd July - Orig
20th July - expansys
21st July - king of gadgets
29th July - Play.com
15th August - Amazon.co.uk
Orange upgrades, called them 15th July....
'Call back in 2 months' (!!!!)
True that!
How about Insight
25 expected on 09/09/19
Bit of a long wait.
Devicewire are saying...
...August 7th. The guy I spoke to seemed very knowledgeable and said it was down to Google not signing the licensing agreements in time.

Expansys email confirming will be first week in August, 1st/2nd. Received today
What abuuuuut T-mobile? I've heard other people on here (one actually working for them) saying 17th or 20th.....
Well, all the Swedish stores just say that they don't have any release date or that the phone is not in store yet.
So I've actually not seen a releasedate except the initial 15th of july.
hero
a guy at king of gadgets told me expansys were ordering from HTC europe and that they had stock from HTC UK, and that was why the dates were different!
dutch shops and carriers:
Hi / KPN giving it an expected release of July 22th (was 8, then 14, then 18, then 20).
Pdashop.nl saying the unlocked can be delivered from July 24th onwards.
centralpoint.nl saying 7th of august.
Other webshops saying 'in stock within two weeks'.
So I have no idea, I hope somewhere next week .
See Expansys are back on the 20th July now.

Lols. I know expansys has been around for a long time but this is just stupid.... someone should call them up and tell them to CHILL OUT and put 'WHEN WE BLOODY GET THEM' for the expected date

Expansys have never ever got a release date right, they are just a hype train thats successful in making you preorder and keep waiting. i usually just wait until it says its in stock then just go over and pay cash at the expansys depot (1hr drive) lol
Well expansys UK still say release today, expansys Sweden say the 31th of July...
And I need this phone now..

You even can not rely on expansys when they write they have it on stock - on friday, the 3rd of July, their web page said, they have 100 on stock (at least on their Hong Kong page). I already ordered on July the 1st. But, like all others, did not receive until now.
Bad news for anyone who has ordered through amazon...They have changed their delivery date from 18th Apr to 1st June.....I'm glad I cancelled my order this morning and went with comet....should be coming Thurs.
Bloody Hell, thats one hell of a delay, not just by a few days, but over a month, i wonder what has made them change their release date.
Dang.
My order is still saying that it will be sent out on 18th. Will update if it changes.
Ouch glad I went with comet now. I would advise looking at my post about the comet discount and then applying for the keyboard offer from asus as that works out at £405 for both.
I don't understand why there is such a long delay. They( Asus) will lose a lot of sales as there will be the Acer and the Galaxy 10.1 competing in June and who knows what else....HTC, LG

Yep....I did and got the discount although others have said they couldn't - may be a regional thing.
They still have them available online...next day delivery !

It could be that as they are coming off the production line they are being distributed to suppliers, so they have not stock-piled for a big on-mass release ?

Don't know tbh it was just a thought, maybe Asus are distributing to Comet first as they have physical stores that people can see a demo model.
Ebuyer`s dates have gone back too: April 22nd for the tablet on its own and the 19th MAY for the dock bundle, which I had pre-ordered. On the off chance I gave Carphone warehouse a call this lunch time to ask on delivery times for the tablet. I was told if I ordered before 4pm it would be delivered tomorrow. Placed order immediately and cancelled my Ebuyer preorder. I`ll take Asus up on their offer to order the dock direct from them
Roll on tomorrow

That's MAY in case people are wondering... Very glad I went with Comet in the end, I also will be taking ASUS up on their pre-order deal!
Still 18th April for me (on amazon.co.uk). I ordered yesterday.

Wow, never noticed it was May! Glad I phoned CPW now.
Thanks for the heads up
"Dispatch Estimate: 18 April 2011" <-- in my order.
"This item will be released on June 1, 2011." <-- on the info page
I'll cancel the order if they push the date. June 1 sounds like a joke, there will be many more interesting tablets to choose from then.
I can't take Asus on the preorder deal because I'm not from UK and the deal is only for UK.
I'm using mine right now, I walked into comet and picked it up, wasn't any on display so make sure you ask someone, did I get bit early?

I remember when I was waiting for my Kindle they kept changing the date on the info page but the date on my order never changed - which was when i got it.
I never read too much into Amazons estimated dates tbh.

Dispatch. 8.April 2011

Hopefully the order date is the one that matters. If not I'm going to have to take this as a message from God. Nobody wants to sell me a Honeycomb tablet, time to get an iPad.
I have the eee pad transformer & k/board bundle on order with amazon since 4th April for an 18th April dispatch. When I saw the date change to 1st June was going to cancel, but managed to get a customer service number for amazon uk
Rang them & they told me that there was enough eeepads & k/board bundles in there fulfilement centre to despatch April 18th for everyone that pre-ordered before April 11th. If you pre-ordered after that date you dont get the bundle until june 1.
Bottom line is if your estimated dispatch date hasn't changed & is still showing April 18th on your order then you made the cut!!
I didn't see this mentioned anywhere yet, but the Galaxy S3 is up for preorder at Sprint.
$200 for the 16GB model and $250 for the 32GB, both in blue or white and with 2 year agreement ($550/$600 w/o contract).
Delivery expected by June 21st.
16GB

awesome!
I just finished pre-ordering mine!! I'm excited! I hope my area allows for early delivery. Also in case anyone else here knows more about this, how early can we expect a pre-order? They say they will try to get it delivered before June 21 but how early are we looking at? Maybe a week?

I preordered my own, the 32GB Pebble Blue model. I am very excited however I wouldn't expect the phone any earlier than June 21. Sprint says they will try to get it here earlier but at most "earlier" probably means a couple of days.
There is a big "customer event" in Boston on June 12th to officially announce this phone and give people hand's on with it (along with other Sprint related tech & info). I signed up to go but I don't know if I will since all I am interested in is this phone and I already have it pre-ordered
As a side note, I don't know how everyone feels about cases but I absolutely love TPU cases on my phones. Not only do they protect great but they also increase grip and don't add noticeable bulk. I found an eBay seller that has black matte TPU cases for $3. Hopefully it arrives before my phone does

I too ordered mine and I'm super excited. I haven't been this excited about a launch in a long time. 2 gbs of ram?! What?!!
Sent from my LS670 using Tapatalk 2
I haven't been this excited about a phone either since the iPhone 4! I pre ordered it the first day that sprint put it up for pre order, i think it was Monday... Anyways, the sales rep that took my order told me that at the end of the sale she would tell me what day her system is giving her that i would receive the phone, she said it would be the 8th, which now, its tomorrow! I have been clicking on the Check the status of your order page at least 4 times per day just to see if they put a tracking number on it yet, but no luck!
I am freaking out! I called sprint back yesterday to verify and they said that they didn't know when it would be shipped... I just wanna know if anyone else have been given an actual date like i was given one too... She probably just made a mistake, but that mistake is driving me crazy!!! I want that phone now!!! LOL
Besides Tmobile stating a Nov 12 release date, the forbes article here pretty much cinches the Nov 12th date by stating thats when the actual review embargo lifts. There is a small chance some preorders might arrive a day or two before that, but realistically the 12th date is a solid release day. I don't think google will give a huge chunk of average joes their N6 before the embargo date, if actual journalist can't review it until the 12th I doubt they want the joes putting out reviews instead.
Its because TMobile releases it on Nov 12, after which point there's point of an NDA. It doesn't mean other carriers will have it on the 12th. So the article really doesn't tell us anything.

Others carriers are up in the air, but Im speaking purely of the "preorders" (yes I got one!) or phones from the play store, Nov 12 seems to definitely be the date
We already have threads on Release dates.
