I called O2 and was told the release date had been put back to the 4th November and more suprisingly they have not got a price yet.
There will be no trade in or upgrade promo from teh XDA2
R
Allegedly, I was successful in ordering one yesterday (3rd) - I was charged £279 (based on my tariff/upgrade - it does vary depending on your tariff).
However, as they had 'problems with the computers' my GM order number has not yet arrived.....
I was also told he 4th, And i rang a few times, but no stock (of corse) my last call was at 4pm and i was then told its been put back until the 9th

Well - it is on the O2 online shop now for £249 +min £20 a month line rental. I have a friend in O2 so I am gonna see if there is a staff deal.
R
I called the local O2 shops - they are so crap!
The one that 2 days ago said it would be in on Friday now says they are not sue in until December. Another simply said they had heard nothing about it.....jesh!!! Neither of them could give me any idea of price...

O2 XDA IIs is available in Hong Kong now
ROADTRIIIIIP!!!
its also available in the philippines now. Im thinking of getting it, but im already using xda2. the landscape orientation for spreadsheets and other softwares may prove to be very useful, other than that, id say the built in wifi is a welcome edition, im not a fan of the qwerty keypad though.
i was wondering also ifthis unit can support blackberry as well
i3oyi3astos,
If you could, please run to the store to play with one and in the bluetooth settings please see if they are still using the 1.0000000000000 version or if they upgraded it.
Second could you see if they have the BlackBerry client on it???
Third, take your credit card and consider it a early birthday gift
Thank you VERY much as I'm hoping they updated these two in the XDAIIs.
its on the o2 uk site.........

I have bought one sim free from Here they have been assured by O2 today that they will be the first in the UK to stock them and that delivery will be shipped next monday.
I personally can't wait until Tuesday, this is the first phone with everything i ever wanted in one device, i am ditching my Treo 600 and palm for this little baby.

Hi Richard,
I got my XDA II from Uplands last year and I can't fault them, so I'd be happy to get an XDA IIs from them as well, and their prices are certainly good!
Could you let us know when you get yours? I'll be interested to see when their stock starts to come through. Gonna call them now and ask about upgrades....
Edit: update on upgrades - I could have one, but it would cost me £285 cos I'm not a particularly heavy user.
Yeah uplands are good cant go wrong with them + they are very competitive in price. Stock will be due in on monday 15th nov.. cant wait!
12th Nov
I've just spoken to a few O2 shops in London area, they either tell me they have no idea when they're due or that 12th of November is release date and not to expect anything for at least 2 weeks after then :\
I've got 4 phones due an upgrade with an O2 reseller (unfortunately not direct with O2, corporate account with CarphoneWarehouse so will probably delay things further) - itching to get my hands on one!
Does anyone have any idea when this device will be available in the Netherlands? Through one of those mobile provider? (T-Mob, Orange, Telfort?) It seems that its out in UK and Germany and some places in US and other countries, but not yet here in NL, I've checked several stores and can't find convincing replies. I am keen to check this one out.
More delays
Just spoke to Uplands - they have said -
"Yes, O2 advised us yesterday that the release of
the handsets has been delayed again, and to expect delivery by around Monday of next week {15th Nov}. Unfortunately that means we cannot yet guarantee a delivery date"
Bumsticks :\
Please post any other shops that are selling the XDA IIs.
Uplands will not ship to a US customer!
I would love to get a XDA III, but getting it in a black version would be really cool.
My order was delayed from March 29th to April 7th, as with anyone else ordering an unlocked model, but I'm sick of waiting, and i thought i heard someone say theirs was shipping, is that true?
My gf stopped thinking it was cute days ago (the fact that I can't think about anything else than my phone), and I'm getting on her nerves..
I paid with google checkout, so I don't know if they update the order status as accurately, or .. idunno.. Anyone else got ANY new info on Handtec Desire orders?
From their website:
Stock Update: Handtec has secured a large quantity for the first batch. Status: Still Available
Stock Update 2: HTC Desire expected 7th April. Affects All UK resellers.
Stock Update 3: Stock is still due on the 7th April and loking likely to be this date - we still have availability on the first batch.

Yes the ship out date is still the 7th. I have been talking to Handtec everyday just to check the ETA. Their answer has been the same for the past week.
So...chillax and tell your gf to enjoy you now because once you get your phone, you will become non-existant
The situation with WP7 is embarrassing.
Here in Italy HTC is doing a bad impression. I ordered the HD7 eXpansys up two weeks ago and every day, every day I say, they change the date of delivery.
Even today the new availability date is December 4.
December 4?? But are they crazy?? How MS is hoping to succeed if they do not leave the phones?
I have a P3600, a TYTNII, a Diamond and HD2, but At this point I think my next phone will be a Nokia N8.
Frankly I feel cheated. And bored.
There are 10 different devices and tons of carriers.
I really don't see your logic of hating on the devices and WP7 just because you are being screwed by whoever you ordered it from.
You only have that company to blame for the shipping delays.
I walked in to a Best Buy here in the US on launch day and picked up a Surround.

Here in Italy on the launch day there was no WP7 phones in stores.
And every day all the stores change the availability day: said yesterday that it would be available on 29th november, and today the 4th of december. Two days ago they said it would be available in 4 days...ALL the stores, not one.
But, from my experience, this is the case of all new release highend smartphones. The Desire HD changed from incoming week 45 to "longer delivery time" in week 45, and my Omnia 7 have changed from week 44, to week 45 and they're saying week 46 right now.
Just be patient, hardware is obviously selling through and that is a good thing!
I can't wait....
yes, this situation is horrible.. i am in Slovakia, waiting for my Omnia 7!!!!!!!! No phones at all here, I checked online stores in Czech republic - the same...Its more than a month after official release.
Expansys USA has Unlocked Samsung Focus and HTC HD7 in stock and ready for shipment for 599 and 699 USD respectively..
Edit: They also have almost every other phone from WP7 Unlocked and ships within 3 days..
The irony is that although Europe had the first launch 2 weeks in advance it's still under US when it comes to availability. To get my HD7 I surfed 3 weeks like crazy on eBay to get a good deal (eventually made it) and when I asked all my country's carriers about WP7 they were like "What's up with that?!" so going-randomly-in-a-shop-to-pic-a-WP7 will happen mostly in late December/January.
Maybe some sort of "conspiracy" for the Early '11 update
This is the answer from HTC:
Recently you wrote about the release date of HD 6, but here we inform that the terminal should be in business, then I suggest you start to do the check with our resellers: http://www.htc.com/it/ where_to_buy.aspx
FIRST: I wrote about HD7, not HD6...what the hell is the HD6?
and SECOND: No! I checked all the on-line store (and in some cases I went in the store of my town) and the HD7 is not available....maybe I should ask the HD6?
HD7
Hi,
here in Czech Republic, you can buy only HTC Trophy...
Nobody has the clue when will other phones arrive
So I was speaking to someone from customer service at o2 the other day, about a possible upgrade and when I asked her about three Samsung galaxy nexus phone, she straight away said "7th November".
Is strange because across the web I see the 17th November cropping up a lot.
i spoke with handtec last week ... they said they are expecting there shipment to arrive at the 7th as well , when i asked them about the official date by samsung which is the 17th they said they are not sure they promised me a solid answer on monday ... it appears that there are multiple vendors working as a middle man between sammy and the final retail stores and these people are expecting there shipments earlier than the 17th at least some of them ...
mobiles.co.uk has the Samsung Galaxy Nexus listed as 'in stock' on the orange network. I have tried ringing them but I guess they arent open yet or they are ignoring my calls lol.
I will get through to them this morning and update with their response to stock.
Mark.
UPDATE: As with all the other sites its still only pre-order even though it says 'In Stock Now' on the website.. The guy on the phone said it will still be a few weeks so im holding out for a 17th November release date which is what has been stated on other sites.
It is not even launched in India yet
So now that the 21st is in site, a post to update us all on whether you have received your GN yet.
I am particularly interested in HANDTEC orders, as that is who I have ordered through! Cheers guys
Has the 21st actually Bern confirmed?

15/11 Update: Samsung Distribution is still stating week commencing 21st November this has been the case for the past two weeks or so. We understand that dates such as the 17th November MAY be release dates for non sim free stock but we cannot confirm this.

I know what you mean. I waited weeks for them to announce any details for a US launch, got sick of the waiting and ordered yesterday. Now it seems like tomorrow isn't going to happen... WTF Samsung, get your **** together
Will stay with the 23th as clove post, handtec will get at the same time like all uk sim free stores ...
Sent Via My HTC Desire HD
my money is on the 23rd also
Here's hoping the sim-free batches will be different and not have the volume-changing plague like pre-release phones didn't have the plague. I am close to canceling my pre-order, but part of me just wants to wait and see and hope for the best.
I still fear that the sim-free ones won't be released next week though. Phones4U ad said they have a two-week exclusive and some sellers, especially Amazon, have the release date exactly two weeks after Phones4U release.
But I guess hope dies last! It's just a phone

fingers crossed mate, i'll give handtec a call tomorrow
Clove is Samy's ***** just like Handec is HTC's. That's why my money is on 23rd. Handtec states week starting 21st, that could technicaly mean 25th as well
C'mon Clovee... Send it to me NOW!!!
Handtec said on their Twitter that they're expecting the shipment for the 23rd.
Meanwhile, I prefer this. If it comes that day, the delivery should arrive earliest on Friday here in Belgium. That's when I'm home earlier, usually long before any delivery truck arrives. And next week, I'm in night shift. Handtec uses DPD for delivery to my country, and they have notoriously weird times.
Initially I had this week Thursday and Friday the days off, initially expecting the Nexus and Saints Row 3 those days. SR3's release date got moved ahead and the Nexus shipping date back. :|
If Handtec delivers on Wed 23rd. When will US receive our orders?
Thursday is Thanksgiving and I know no delivery will be done. I am not sure if Fedex/UPS delivers on Friday Saturaday or Sunday....
So does anybody know what will happen if they deliver on 23rd?
Thanks in advance!

US is 2-4 Business days. Count Thursday out. It should be at our doors around the following Tues-Thursday >,,> Fml
...Of course, that's only for whoever is in the first batch (/prays)
Can't wait to hear from SIM free buyers receiving e-mails from ratailers announcing shipping... Who's going to be first, Handtec or Clove?

pre-release phones used by reviewers probably didn't check 2G connectivity, or weren't on a network that operates on 900Hz. so they wouldn't have encountered the problem.

Received a tweet from Handtec advising mid week and then this email from Clove. 23rd looks promising:
Dear S,
Thank you for expressing an interest in the Samsung Galaxy Nexus. We are pleased to inform you that stock is due to arrive late today and orders will begin shipping tomorrow. We will receive enough stock to cover all outstanding orders and will have a limited amount of stock available to cover new orders.
If you would like to place an order, we expect, but cannot guarantee, to ship it by the end of November 23rd - pending the completion of security checks and subject to stock availability.
If you already have an order in place with us, please disregard this email.
Kind Regards
The Clove Technology Sales Team.
