BestBuy release pushed back to September 4th. - ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers

Seriously? What the Hell ZTE and BestBuy? This is ridiculous. If the Nexus Marlin gets a release date before then I'm canceling and waiting for that.

EVO 4g and Note II flash backs. It happens with all manufacturers.

I just find it ridiculous that all the other Axon 7 retailers have gotten some stock in (gray variant) but BestBuy hasn't. They've pushed their date back three times and will most likely do it again.
How are they going to have it in stock on September 4th when none are slated to be shipped out and back in stock until September 9th, even on ZTEs own site?
I'm just frustrated. I'm using a dying device and cannot keep waiting to upgrade. I'd just grab a OP3 if it didn't have issues with AT&T.

Expansys sudden change of DHD release date

Dear all, I was initially awaiting for the countdown of my DHD from Expansys, and supposedly its another 11 days to the 11th of Oct whereby our DHD will be released... But when I checked my order status just now, the estimated delivery date becomes 19 days... Is it that the system has problems, or is it that HTC decided to postpone the release date of DHD?
I'm expecting some sort of delay from HTC. I think we're probably going to be ending up looking towards the end of October for release and us actually having the handset in our hands.
MPD still says 11th. We shall see.
Jeez dont be saying that. I have sold my 2 phones and now working with an old Nokia which has the cover hanging off it.
I hope that aint true
If that is true i may have to go and buy an Orange San Francisco until then ...
T-mobile have delayed their launch it's in November now!
I've also put pre-order with mobilephonesdirect.com they were admant it will be 7th Oct.
In my past experience release dates mean nothing. There always seam to be a delay of some sort. I agree with the end of October being a more realistic time of this phone getting in my hand. I wanted it back on September 15th but good things come to those who wait I suppose.

I am in a similar position, using 9500 Commie with a semi broken keyboard
The release date will delay in Finland even further, or do you think that HTC has made enough phones this time to answer the demand?
I too am suspecting a delay .... there have been no reviews by any of the android sites which is normal a week or so before launch to gain interest for the phone and the blogging has been quiet as well.
Disappointed but not surprised, again it will be interesting to hear what the cause of this is. I am watching the prices of Desires on ebay as they are going down in price and am wondering whether the DHD is worth the differential!!
Hope
Hmm ive looked at quite a few different sites and no one elso seems to have changed their dates. So i hoping it is just a problem on expansys part and then everyone else will get their HD's in the first week or 2 of next month!
I can't see this phone being released by the end of next week. There are no solid reviews out. Normally release models have been sent out for review. As long as it's out for November 16th my upgrade date I'll be happy.

Hopefully they've just sold out of their first batch, and the dates on the site reflect the expected arrival of the second batch...?
Hopefully sub69
I called Vodafone tonight, they still have no release date for the Desire HD, but their Desire Z release date is November 1st. Somehow the guy managed to talk me into buying a Galaxy S.

Solid reviews? Have there been any yet. Normally Engadget are pretty hot with reviews and I'm keeping my ear close to the ground for any rumblings of hands on other than the leaks.
same here suffer with the nokia n85...
clove as same stock sipping date: "First stock due 6th October", i hope that it will stay the same.
My amazon.co.uk account says:
Dispatch Estimate: 11 Oct 2010
Delivery Estimate: 13 Oct 2010 - 14 Oct 2010 (to germany )
Clove still says 6th october for first stock - hopefully that will arrive on time and I'll get one of them
All Swedish online retailers I've checked have October 14th-16th as the release date, and that's how it's been ever since the DHD first appeared on those sites. It's never had an earlier date than that in Sweden.
My order at Expansys still has the 11th/12th October delivery date. Let's hope it stays that way
guyz..it's at least 2 years that release date of brand new hi-end htc devices it's the first week of november...

Ad that Verizon model is realesed on the 21st

Maybe this is wishful thinking and I know that this is probably just an error but just recently I saw a Verizon ad on here that said the phone is to be released for Verizon on the 21st. Has anyone else came across this? Also one thing to note is that when I clicked on the link it took me directly to the Verizon pre order page

That would be amazing! It would also get my fathers day gift closer to fathers day lol.....
Sent from my Axiom MAXX!!
That would be a very interesting leak if true. I wonder if it is just taking the date of when the phones are starting to release in the US and putting a random company preorder page link in each time. I however, have all ads blocked so I'd never see that banner.
They did say BY July 9/10... So there might be a chance? It's all wishful thinking at this point. Lol

We can dream... and that's about it.
But GOSH what a dream.
Well one of the early rumors said the 28th as release. So I guess it's possible. By this point though I'm just waiting for an email saying my order has shipped and hoping I'm not having to wait over a weekend to get it.
My friend pre ordered one from radio shack and they told him it releases on the 21St. They called him a while after he pre ordered that he could pick up on the 21st

Update from supplier

I just want to point out that one of my suppliers in HK are saying that the Note can be arriving by end of September. Believe it or not, up to you. Hopefully, their update is true.
If that's the case then I'm sure there releasing for U.S for all carriers on October 21

They need to announce it soon then
Most retailers here show an expected release around 27th September. There's some on 26th, 28th, 1st Oct, 3rd, but most show late next week. If that's the case then by next week I'll have what to do.

Anyone else rather disappointed at how Google handled the release?

I find it quite unprofessional to have people pre order a device in September and have them arrive 2 months later. How can you announce your best phone ever (for both companies) and be so woefully prepared for the demand it might incur? I'm having second thoughts on getting the phone since I have no idea when I might receive mine since Google and Huawei have yet to get their act together in rolling out the product
Have you tried buying any previous nexus? By far the best release yet!
Doesn't your pre-order have a date? That would be the latest you would have your unit shipped.
No, I'm OK with it.
Yep, best by far. Especially after being involved with the 4, 5 and 6 failed launches!
This is my favorite so far. No issues thus far.
Best handling it this way rather than having people refresh the page every second because product went out of stock within 2 minutes of release.(previous nexus releases)
Very happy.
Order date: Sep 29, 2015 1:05:16 PM CDT Estimated delivery date: November 10 – 12, 2015.
Phone will be delivered to me tomorrow.
Ordering process yes. However... Shipping order is jacked up AGAIN. Ordered 9/29 within 15 min of link going live. 32GB Graphite. There are people with tracking information that purchased 10/21 and have shipping confimation while mine sits in processing purgatory. Card was final charged 3 days ago. Still hasn't gone anywhere. This happens to me every year.
Almost as bad as a Best Buy launch ....
I don't mind this release style at all. I really don't see what OP concern is. Google has turned a 'quickest to order before servers crash' to 'just order and be patient, we won't charge you'

Disappointment? That would imply I had expectations which conflict with what was promised. I have no such expectations.
In the announcement event, they simply said "later in October" concerning ship dates. During the preorder process, everything was clearly spelled out. How could I be disappointed? My only expectation is that the products I ordered will arrive safely by the time they indicated.
I'm pleased with the order process this time around. As for delays well that is common on pre orders these days. I'm just happy that I got to order, much better than trying to catch a one or two minute in stock window like in the past.
Disappointed, nah. one of the biggest tech company in world can't handle preorder. How the hell do you sell out preorder? Just take the damn order and give a 4-5 weeks eta. Don't tell me you can't get huawei to make your phones in 5 weeks.
I'm rather disappointed that Germany was not a part of the countries that could preorder it first. I simply don't get it...
It's a pain yes. But it happens this way every year. I'm just surprised they haven't fixed it much over the years. I'm waiting on a Frost 64GB - No one has gotten a Frost yet, so we'll see if the ship date is hit, Nov 2.

Like previous people have mentioned. Most (if not all) of the Nexus launches were pretty terrible.
I wasn't expecting much so no .. not disappointed.
I ordered, was given an estimated ship date and it has shipped early. I call that a success.

You do realise that these were pre-orders, right? This is exactly how the concept of a pre-order works.
Dissapointed, yes. The roll out in the US might be not that bad. But there are other countries besides US. In Europe we are still waiting to preorder. Such a slow rollout. Google needs to learn from Apple and bring their **** together and roll out the devices from day one.

Verizon Deals Coming Soon (according to LG's website)

Here is what I just found on LG's website. Not sure how recently this was put up:
http://www.lg.com/us/mobile-phones/v20/promo/verizon
Hope that means the official release date and pre-order date are coming REAL soon! Sick of waiting for pricing and availability from Verizon... everyone else has at least SOMETHING out there (and AT&T has the actual phone in stores!).
reps at a store near me say november 5th for release, which makes sense since verizon is slow. also this is dumb that we have to send away for earphones.....it'll probably take a month just to get them lol
