O2 customer pre orders delayed [was 15th, now 29th march]

Just received a txt from O2 to let me know with "apologies"
I'm absolutely gutted as I most likely will miss out on sending in my I9100 to Samsung to exchange for a smart camera. (unless I can get something cheap to coast on for a week...)
I have had a HD2 previously and have missed the sense and build quality (resorted to a Taurus case to give my sgs2 a bit of weight and durability)
Maybe I will see what the sgs4 has in store :/

Just had chat with P4U but their answer are not precious or much helpful:
"Thank you for that I can see here that your order is pending the stock for release, we do not have any update to say there is a delay on this handset so we expect it to arrive as per the release date. You will receive an email to confirm the dispatch and we do pay for next day delivery although we do ask you to allow up to 3-5 working days to receive this in case of any courier delays."

That sux for EU, maybe HTC is shipping most of the One for US release

When you order the HTC One from o2 you get free beats in ears .. at least that is the deal here in Germany.
The earbuds aren't that great, but it's still a nice addon

are o2 offering you anything as a gesture of goodwilll ??
Vodafone offered to take a month's bill off for me the last time such a thing happened

I really wonder why I never see anyone out of the US with a HTC smartphone, mostly droids and a whole bunch of iPhones.
Too bad Europe has to wait because of the production delays and the USA devision of HTC which get most of the first bunch of phones. (Dont get me wrong I'm really happy for you Americans, but I aswell want this phone asap, my Desire Z is absolutely done after more than two years )

Hope yours isnt delayed. Wonder if this is a handset supply issue?
After ordering mine I trawled through all my local phone shops to see if I could get my hands on one to get a feel of the premium finish. Only one with a dummy was phones 4 u.
carphone warehouse guy told me he was waiting for a dummy 2 days b4 release (this was today) but would not comfirm when that was.

funnily enough I had just read about that 10-15mins before I got the text.
Not sure, I had originally ruled it out as everyone else seemed on track for the 15th.
now, the more I'm reading, the more I'm inclined to agree.

I've managed to dig out my wife's old 1st gen iphone ....
Man, the next couple of weeks are going to draaag....
At least I can try and skin it with grogorz Dusk theme Sure I have seen a forum thread somewhere.

Just had a look on the CPW website and they are now saying delivery "expected" March 29th. Holy Cow.

And soon everyone else will follow. The germans took them.

If the US is getting the first batch of phones how come Pre-orders aren't open yet

If there is a delay expect to see the few people who do get one putting them on ebay at ridiculous prices.

Strange, this is what I found earlier today : http://www.gsmarena.com/htc_one_might_get_delayed_due_to_components_shortage-news-5667.php
"Even though HTC promises to launch the phone on March 15, lots of markets might not get it before May (at the earliest). HTC has already declared the USA market as a major target, so if the rumors come true it's likely that other markets might not get the smartphone for months."

Ordered the T-Mobile version!

I ordered the T-Mobile version earlier today, FINALLY. Not sure if I should have waited for the DEV edition, but the T-Mobile version comes with an unlockable bootloader so I guess that's good. If the DEV edition becomes available later this week I will simply return the tmo version and get that.
Anyone else order the T-Mobile Moto X?
UPDATE: Our Moto X's have started shipping, although the moto site still does not reflect it. Showing a delivery date of 9/16 (Monday)!

Might wait for the Dev. Edition and/or Motomaker edition, the appealing thing about the Moto X is the possibility of the 32gb internal storage and you won't get that with the carrier version.

Do we know if the Dev edition will come with T Mobiles AWS HSPA? If so, that is what I'm going to wait for.

It probably won't. The T-Mobile version does though, and is fully unlockable... so I'd go with that one.

Almost bit the bullet and bought one of these. Can't justify dropping 600 bucks for 16gb and from most accounts a poor camera and average screen. I really wanted to love the phone, but in my limited time in playing with one, I just don't feel it's a 600 dollar product. Motorola pays 220 dollars to have the phone made, they would have taken over the world if they didn't try to get 3x the price out of customers.

Thanks for wishing me luck, it worked. I bought a LG G2 for 600 dollars. Problem solved. I appreciate the luck! :good: 32GB, 1080P screen, Great camera with OIS, for the same price. It wasn't the fact that phones cost 600 dollars, its the fact that Motorola is charging 600 dollars for that phone. Its not a 600 dollar piece of hardware. Anyway, I'm good to go now, back to my regularly scheduled G2 forums. Best of luck X guys! Its really a cool and unique phone.

You're welcome
And congrats!

I tried to order one several times yesterday. I had it the basket every time and when I clicked the purchase button I kept getting a message about an error with my credit card which has plenty of money on it. Now I have three holds pending on my credit card in the amount of the purchase and they all say Motorola Direct. First chat session was cut off and second one was with a person saying the only moto x available for purchase was the att exclusive one. I told them they had bad information and they insisted I was wrong. I made a call about it and have had two call backs today but each time I was busy. Hoping for another call back today because I'm not going to sit on hold for another 20 minutes today to see what they have come up with. They did admit that the website has a problem but without more info I am in the dark still I'm losing my faith in this company and it sucks because I want to try this phone and give them a chance but it is frustrating so far. I know its early in the game for the T-Mobile variant but damn, its not looking good so far.

In other threads that don't have to do with the t-mobile version, people have reported the phone showing up even before the motorola order status page was updated. So....anyway, take that with some heavy salt.

Yes. Tweakers sucks with their overbearing mods. It's so oddly formal and stodgy over there. Let's keep each other abreast of the latest!

What's wrong with Tweakers?
I don't visit their often, because I don't speak Dutch that well.
Anyway, from what I read, the pre-order won't start before November 18, 2014. I don't know if that's true.

And it would be sucks if the store only have 32GB version.

I wouldn't mind the 32gb version, owned a 64 gb htc and I never really used the extra space, don't really store a lot of pictures/music on my phone...
but my LG G3 screen just broke and it hurts to wait that long... if that's just the pre order then shipping will be at least a week later

I just hope it get released (in NLD) through Google Play, but the feeling I got after the way US got treated on the pre-orders we're pretty much screwed. Seems that on previous devices the Play Store price was (slightly) lower than with 3rd party retailers.
All I need is a confirmed date and price, so I can decide to wait for it or move on. My S3 is slowly losing it so I want to replace it in the next 2-3 months.
If it gets a release / pre-order for €565 for 32GB, then I'm buying. Midnight Blue!
32GB will be enough for me, I got the same amount on my S3 at the moment. If I need more storage, there's Drive, Dropbox, etc.
And yes, Tweakers can get a bit "formal" at times

The Nexus 9 is now available for pre-order in the NL store. I don't think I've seen a Nexus device of any sort so soon appear. Gives me a slight bit of hope at least for the appearance of the Nexus 6.

so... you're from antarctica? want to get your hands on a nexus 6? allready know where to get one?
whatever! let's keep each other posted! follow this thread

Also hoping to get it soon by play store or Else. Perhaps mediamarkt germany are selling them again quick. Got my Nexus 5 there.....

Interesting story there. Here, the stores always refer to the manufacture's warranty and leave it up to the brand to fix or replace it. That's pretty good customer service, for Europe at least.

Retailers are obligated to handle warranty issues in the Netherlands, not the manufacturer.
Also a 2-year warranty period is issued to consumer electronics.

Based on the last few years, I think the retailers here are always late, compare to UK or Germany. But, probably that's how it works on this kind of industry, I don't know why. I bet the retailer in Germany would get it sooner.
But, checking the Nexus 9 on the Play Store The Netherlands, it is THERE available, leaving warehouse in just 1 - 2 days. And the Nexus 9 is officially on sale starting today. Thus, Play Store is not late!
I hope, this would be the same with Nexus 6. If any indication, it could be November 12, as said by T-Mobile U.S. And heard the "full review embargo" would be lifted that day as well.
We can only hope, can't we?

But I counting on the N6 being released here. Coolblue also has the N6 set for pre-orders starting from 18-10.
They provide the option of email notification when it can be ordered.
If we could only get conformation of the price tag...

Wait, if something goes wrong with a device and it needs to be serviced or possibly replaced, what does the retailer have to do with it beyond the return date? Or, can you really bring the device in to the retailer and have them arrange service?

Yes.
According to Dutch consumer laws the retailer is obliged to extend warranty services during two years.
Either they get it fixed or replaced, that is up to retailer.
Of course, if the defect isn't covered by warranty costs may apply.

Scored a brand new T719 for $260

I had to drive over an hour, and then the place was hard to find, but I just kept thinking it was worth it..... brand new, LTE, Qualcomm processor. And sure enough I really love it! Seems way smoother than my old Tab S with exynos.
I had a problem updating it, but now I know I can always flash the latest world firmwares from Sammobile. Managed to update my security patch level from May to November. I don't figure there will be much to flash, but I may root it today, and then just always flash and root the latest international firmwares.
The big surprise is that my Tmobile smartphone sim works in the tablet, and seems to possibly work fully! Texting, phone calls, and data! Makes me tempted to up my plan to a One unlimited data plan, but maybe that's getting too crazy. So far it seems to work like a regular phone tho!
Anyway, I'm happy with this acquisition. Any other T719 owners here with tips or Info? Thanks

The "7" is the LTE, right?
I've just ordered then wifi only one (no use for LTE/phone tech), Snappy core.
I saw a review that showed the Snappy and the Exy side by side - the Snappy was visibly faster on doing the same thing and posted a benchmark some 30% higher than the Exy core one.
Should be good... hopefully, when (if) it arrives.

I saw a post somewhere here where someone explained what each digit means, but I believe the 7 indicates that it's the smaller model, in this case 8 inches, as opposed to the 8xx, which is the 9.7 inch model.
But in any case, I think you'll like it, it actually runs smoothly. This is my first Tab S2, but I had the Tab S with Exynos, and it was super stuttery, especially considering it's an expensive device!

Nice, but I got an even better deal. I bought a T710 for $100 because the Wifi wasn't working. I figured the seller had just messed up somehow and maybe I could fix it. Turns out I don't need to. The warranty is good until Nov 2017 so Samsung is fixing it for free!!!

I think you're right - the last digits say the sub-type.
13 = wifi
17 = lte, as far as I know.
And the other guys - it makes you wonder... why didn't the seller do the warranty thing?
I mean... if something breaks down.. the very first thing I do (after a yell of frustration) is to check the warranty to see if it's still valid.
Good catches though!

Their policy is one year from the original date of sale. But not being the original buyer, I don't know what that was. I bought it on eBay from what appears to be an online dealer selling many different products.
All I know is that when I contacted tech support, they checked the serial number and gave me the info about the build date and warranty expiration. It is now in route to NJ for repair.

Ah ok, nice! Keep us posted. In my case I got a phone from a vendor at the mall, so he perhaps didn't even want to mess with sending it in, since he had a pile of phones to sell lol. But still I wonder if he would have done it if he would have known..

I've just read my warranty booklet that came with the just arrived GTab 2 9.7 - two years.

Delivered Monday evening, one week after it was shipped to Samsung. Looks and works like a brand new tablet.

Lol nice, how did you do that? What model exactly?

uk release

Does anyone have any idea when the UK release is planned ,about to pull the trigger on a U11+ or pixel 2 XL ,but would love to get the PH-1 instead

Still waiting for it myself but Essential hasn't shared any news. Everytime they've been asked they keep coming back with a bot like response "stay tuned for more news" or " we are working hard to release the phone in new markets." I'm finding it harder to wait for its release and am considering competitors too. I personally think it's not looking likely.

If you have money rather than looking at a contract, I got it from Amazon US for about £500 delivered (Inc taxes)

I've considered this too but with the phone plagued with build quality issues isn't it a risky move. The warranty doesn't apply on imported phones.
Have you had any problems or are aware if amazon UK would accept a return if something goes wrong?

That's fair enough and have been fortunate to actually have no hardware issues, with only the few niggles that are part of the early release.
I'm actually not aware if Amazon UK would and me being me, would have just seen what happens should it occur.
I do appreciate your concern though

Same here - too bad that they are not sharing any details on that matter. I'll be going with the competition too, even tough I would have loved to give it a shot.

Used my Pixel XL one mate

Perhaps they aren't coming to the EU at all this late.

Went out on a limb and bought it from Amazon US. For £388 (dollar to GBP conversion, Inc tax) the phone PLUS the 360 camera! Only for Cyber Monday!

Dame just ordered the one plus 5 T

Just cancelled one plus 5t and ordered essential phone £388 for phone and 360 camera including import duty is bargain of the year

I brought an American to UK converter plug on the way back through Gatwick, works a charm ...

I'm thinking of buying it also but there camera is the showstopper. Has it improved at all? What do we do for warranty?
Thinking is it even worth doing videos for my YouTube channel with it.

In terms of warranty for UK I think we are stuffed. I got sick and tired of waiting for a release date and we still haven't heard anything. I haven't actually checked but maybe amazon UK will be willing to take it back if something is wrong.
