Just to let you guys know. The K-JAM is in and I have mine! The Inkino guys on Tottenham Court Road, Central London, were once again first off the block. I had left a message with them to contact me as soon as they came in. True to their word they rung me even before they had booked in the delivery. One frantic cab-ride later I was there and playing with my K-JAM. Too early to give feedback but it is good and met my raised expectations. Will keep you posted if I hit any brick walls. Would appreciate any postings of findings by others.
had mine since sat. still playing with it tho
Of course you gotta tell us how much you paid! Also, contract or no contract?

Different keyboard layout
Hey KillyTheBid and those of you that posses a wizard. Is it possible to change keyboard layout e.g. to swedish, french or something else, just like in windows?
Thanks

09/01/2010 - Placed an Order for a Nexus One. The delivery address clearly says Tottenham, LONDON, UNITED KINGDOM.
12/01/2010 - I am notified of a DHL Tracking Number. The DHL tracking website says the destination is 'Tottenham, Uganda'.
12/01/2010 - Minutes after noticing this I sent messages to the Google Webstore to say "My DHL Tracking number 8845726*** says that my Nexus One is being delivered to Tottenham, UGANDA. Can you please make sure that it is on its way to me instead in Tottenham, LONDON. Thanks "
12/01/2010 - At the same time, I sent a message to DHL Customer Services with all of my details to say "This package is to be delivered to TOTTENHAM, LONDON. The tracking details say it is going TOTTENHAM, UGANDA. Can you please make sure it goes to the right place!"
13/01/2010 - The package is collected from your warehouse by DHL.
13/01/2010 - DHL Customer Services acknowledge my message and say that they have passed on details. From now onwards DHL will email me every two days or so with a canned response telling me they are looking into the matter and providing no further information or help in any way.
14/01/2010 - My phone gets to 'Cincinnati Hub, OH' - I know this is where it will get on an International Flight, so I phoned DHL in the UK to check and see where it is going. The nice lady on the phone said that it was coming to the UK, nothing to worry about, it'll be with me soon. Sure enough, it lands in East Midlands, UK Airport.
15/01/2010 - The phone passes through London Heathrow. Thought that I might even get it today. Face pressed against my window watching DHL vans drive by.
15/01/2010 - "Transit through DHL facility - Nairobi, Kenya"
16/01/2010 - I make yet another attempt in vain to contact Google. So far I have heard nothing from them.
16/01/2010 - The package reaches Customs in Kampala, Uganda.
20/01/2010 - Today, the phone is still in Kampala. Google still have not replied to any of my messages.
I don't even know whether to expect it back. The most advanced phone ever made, currently being 'inspected' by an official in Kampala. I'm guessing that they will either seize it, or send me back an empty box with a thankyou note. The most frustrating thing is a complete lack of support so far from Google.
I really hope they don't test my patience by not dealing with this matter urgently.
Its my friends birthday tomorrow and I'm sending him my G1... so I don't actually even have a phone at the moment! I really need to get this resolved right now.
According to the Google Support forums, one other guy has his phone in Uganda as well. One guy did have his in Uganda, but it has somehow made it back to the UK in one piece. There is a dude who's phone is in Hong Kong and someone else who's phone is in Singapore.
Nice one Google.
I feel really sorry for you man, but if it makes you feel any better, I almost pissed myself laughing when I read your post. Especially the entries from the 15th.
The fact Uganda is certainly not on the very short list of countries that are allowed to order the N1, only makes this story all the more bizarre.
Well here's Google's number. Let em have it (650)253-0000
Man people are quick to jump on the 'hate google' bandwagon. Like shipping errors never happen, looks like the issue was with DHL anyway.

Nobody's hating on Google. Why would they ship it to a country that isn't allowed to buy it yey
Maybe Google and DHL have been tricked by a Ugandan prince who will gladly pay 1500 dollar americans for the courtesy of you shipping phone and payment via western unions.

Reads like hate to me, otherwise from the quoted text I see a problem within DHL.

Nope no problem with google but that could have easily been avoided if Google had any customer service. Why would I hate on Google when I have the nexus?

Nah man, I'm not hating.
I'm a Google fanboy, bought a G1 when it came out, run my business on Google Apps, bought my sister a HTC Magic and lots more.
Anyway, people make mistakes! Its fine, s*** happens, c'est la vie. My phone is still in Uganda. You know what, that is not the problem.
The problem is a complete lack of acknowledgement from Google. They haven't replied to any of the many messages through different channels that I have sent.
By the way, it is Google's problem. DHL were supplied incorrect addresses and country codes. If you are lucky only the postcodes and parts of the address are scrambled. If you're unlucky like me, the country code gets scrambled too.
Anyway, in the past few minutes I have a reply on my Google Support thread from a Google employee saying that they will be in touch. 11 Days after my first messages but hey, its something.

LOL. . Sorry to laugh at someone else's misfortune but that was too funny!
Mine had the wrong country too (Switzerland in my case) but DHL spotted it and readdressed it.
The guy at DHL (when I queried why it was delayed) said they'd had loads of them like that and were going through correcting them.

I know you're really angry about Google and DHL Customer Cares but, please, be fair and remove this out-of-place comment... it sounds racist too. Thanks a lot and good luck with your Nexus One

I can easily see how that can be taken as a racist comment, and I'm sorry for implying that. But I'm not really coming from that angle.
My father was exiled from Uganda in 1972 by Idi Amin along with the rest of my family, so I've learn't a lot about what life was like back then. Also, I've done my fair share of travelling in Africa.
I don't want to turn this into any kind of political debate at all, but completely separate from how kind, easy going and friendly the Ugandan people are... this is official business. Try dealing with customs, police, or any government body out there. They do what they like! So what I'm saying is that I was just being real.
So yeah, don't take me as a racist. I hope I am as much opposite to that as possible.
Not going to make any more comments about this by the way... just want my N1! Its still 'under inspection' lol

No, really, that was ABSOLUTELY not my intention. In fact i wrote "it SOUNDS racist" and put a at the end.
I know much about Africa corruption their richness (diamonds, petroleum and so on...) is also their conviction.
As you said: no more comments on this, I hope you'll got your Nexus One soon... if possible before Nexus two comes out
Again: good luck!
I'm giving away at least one of my invites in a contest for my blog. Feel free to check out the details here.
Appreciate the giveaway Cody. Hopefully I luck out, I've been trying to get my hands on a pair and I'm finally at a place where I can purchase them outright. Kind regards your way.
This doesn't happen very often, but i just spoke to a phones4u employee who actually seemed to know what he was talking about, and he replied to one of my questions with "im sorry but i dont know" which implies to me that he aint making stuff up lol. Anyway as i believe he knew what he was on about heres what he said (still take with pinch of salt tho)
"we recieved limited stock on the 11th which we thought were for delivery on the 14th but sony delayed them and we are not allowed to deliver them until the 17th, we are getting more stock on the 17th which will be delivered on the 22nd"
He then went on to tell me that my order was due to be delivered on the 22nd, when i asked if he how much stock they recieved on the 11th he replied
"sorry but i dont know........ i havent had to tell anyone they will be recieving this phone on the 17th, so maybe they haven't allocated them yet"
So there you have it, like i said take it with a pinch of salt but he seemed a lot more 'on the ball' than all the other idiots ive had to speak to. Shame i wont be able to fiddle with it over the bank holiday weekend but nevermind. Post here if you get one thursday.
Just wondering if anyone else's order info has changed??? Mine has finally changed from "awaiting stock" to "preparing for dispatch", still doesnt mean ill be lucky enough to get it tomorrow but heres hoping.... Anybody still showing as awaiting stock?

Hey guys,
I pre-ordered mine on 17th March and will be receiving it on Saturday. Have you guys got yours yet?
Yup, mine is in my hands right now
playing with it and my wireless speaker
Picture ??????????
Unboxing
Screenshot of homescreen
Screen is beautifully clear and bright
Sent from my D6503 using xda app-developers app
Extras
So, mine arrived yesterday (and its ace!) but does anyone know the details on the pre-order bonuses? Specifically:
-£50 Google Play voucher (Will it really take 28 days to send an email?)
-£80 Sony film and music content (How the hell do we get hold of this through the lounge app?)
-Michael Jackson album (When is this available?)
-Smart band voucher (When is this released?)
Cheers.
Sony entertainment stuff is claimed through the app - Xperia lounge
Voucher will prove take 14-28 days so you can't cancel. Contract after redeeming voucher.
If you got the gourmet society voucher if.you sign up now you get the chance to win more free stuff, I won another wireless speaker
Sent from my D6503 using xda app-developers app
Cheers for that, the termination thing makes sense!
Can you give me an idiots guide to how to find the content on the lounge app... I had a look and only found some free games, no movies.
