MobilePhonesDirect - now in stock

Desire description changed to - "THE HTC DESIRE IS NOW IN OUR WAREHOUSE - PLEASE ALLOW 7 DAYS FOR DELIVERY."
If mine's not posted on a next day delivery today then I won't be able to get mine till Wednesday. Fingers crossed.

I reckon they probably don't have them, They offer next day delivery so if they took delivery on the 7th like everyone else (or have it shipped direct from the distributor) they would still be within the 7 days,
All their other handsets just say next day delivery. See the attachment for a laugh
Im not in the UK or I would call them to see if I can pick one up

I ordered with them last week. I might give them a call in a sec.
If it's in stock and I've paid for next day delivery I should get it tomorrow?
I wonder if they're telling porkies to get more orders in?

I'm just in a live chat with them and have just been told they won't have stock 'til tomorrow and to expect delivery next week as planned.
So the claim that they're sat in their warehouse might be a touch ambitious!

i just did live chat with them as well and they are shipping when it is released sim free, so i suspect they do have them in but are not allowed to ship until the 1st but then you have a bank holiday weekend so that would mean next day would still be the 6th as quoted.

I ordered yesterday and emailed them to see if my order would be sent out in the first batch this week, but got a reply saying it would be with me this week.
I think the person who sent email back to me forgot about bloody easter weekend so it will be next week I imagine.
Damn you Jeebus !!!

Also ordered from MPD and spoke to them on live chat. Sounds like they have to abide by the official date and indeed said they'd be shipped 6th/7th.

I concur
Also just spoke to MPD and they say stock comes in tomorrow but they will not start shipping until Tuesday.
I have another T-Mob account (for my son) and received a text on that one saying that the new number is now active. Does that mean they will charge my account from today or when I put the SIM in the phone?
It shows up on my T-Mob on-line portal jobby now.

i'm also a lil annoyed because i have noticed they are now doing the phone free on £25pm contracts and i paid £6 its not going to break the bank but still if i have to wait and get it the same time its a tad annoying. But yay not long now \m/

Have you contacted them about the price change?
Have you had a whinge to see if they will refund the difference.
With tech you but at one price on day one and half the price a bit later, normallyou to get some quality use time in the gap, but not there!
Tom

Are MobilePhonesDirect phones Sim-Free? If they are:
WHY are their PAYG price and Sim-Free price sooo Different??? (For the desire!)?>

I had the same thing. I expect prices to drop, but not in the space of 2 days. Suffice to say, I sent them an email pointing this out and got told that once I have my phone if I get in touch again, I'll get refunded. Worth emailing them

Inertia
Once you have your phone they are expecting you not to bother.

I can imagine, unfortunately for them I certainly will be bothering them!

Now they're saying 3 days for delivery instead of 7...

3 working days. It'll still be around the 6/7th when we receive them.

Anyone had a dispatch email from them yet?
I phoned this morning to make the point that they had them in stock, I'd paid for next day delivery, so I should expect it on Tuesday, right?
I was told that they've got 1000 in stock, 600 pre-orders and are starting on dispatching them today. Some will be going out today and some on Tuesday.
They guy was pretty noncommittal.
The wait is agonising!

I ordered one yesterday from Mobiles.co.uk or something and received it this morning! free special delivery!
but that was on contract..not sure if you guys are talking about payg..

Mine's on contract. tmob.
Price of phone was £5.99 and they've now reduced it to free on that contract

mine has not changed to sent yet and i was in town today and they have them in stock in our tmobile shop ready to sell tomorrow, i was thinking it may be worth a trip down, see if they will match the deal and then cancel the one for mpd. I also had a phone call from vodafone saying they are selling the now (early) but they could not match the price though not far off.

T-Mobile back in stock (telephone order)

Just had a call from T-Mobile - my phone will be with me by 1pm tomorrow.

Just called them myself on the strength of this and was told that they are out of them already, so I assume that they went to existing orders. I only ordered on the 30th (was only eligible for upgrade then) so people who had earlier orders may be lucky. Guess that Means I shall have to wait till next Tuesday at the earliest now.

Just gave them a call and they said mine had been sent out
I think I was on the priority list though.

I order mine on 26th and have just got my email saying its winging its way.

My second one is on its way, I will be interested to see if there are any software changes. Just got text from tmobile saying my second line is active.

just ordered mine:
£15pm
100mins
unlimited texts
unlimited internet
£124 for the phone DDDDDDDD the original price is 164 but said my friend got his for 124 so i want mine for the same price haha
total £394 where in CPW PAYG is for 399 same as hero
out of stock right now but will be delivered on sunday lol so guessing there will be another stock delivery tomorrow or friday

I got the same tariff as cez10, however mine is £10pm and phone was £120!
Ordered Saturday, haven't heard back
Cant wait!

If I was to order one from T-mobile now, when do you think I would get it?

i have just ordered mine bout 10 mins ago and the woman clearly said sunday, i dont know who is working on easter sunday but she definitely said it twice

Placed my upgrade order at 17:30 tonight (online using T-mob's new 'chat' facility ) and was told "should be in the next 7 days" when I asked about delivery. There's no consistency in their answers is there?

I ordered my desire yesterday and was told they were out of stock but more were due in today. I just got a call from them to say my phone will be sent out today for tomorrow delivery.

how do you use the chat facility? do you have to me a present member of t-mobile?

No you just view desire price plans and you will be offered to chat if they're available.
Speaking of chat.. They are very rude. They seem to have no idea if they are in stock. I told them Ill order one right now if they have in stock. and they said they couldnt price check mobilephonesdirect.
I'll post a transcript here if I entered the email correctly..
EDIT: Oh and they cut me off straightaway after I said "I'll order one..". Wierd humans...

Yeah I got through. I said I'd go through them if they price matched mobilephonesdirect, but they could only offer the deals shown on the website. Shame.

It arrived at 8am this morning. WooHoo!

Just checked the T-Mobile website and my upgrade has been processed. Of course delivery is not possible now for the 4 days of Easter, but at least I know it will be on its way.
If it helps, my order was an Upgrade ordered about 8am on the 30th.
ADDENDEM: just got off the phone, was told there was a 40% chance I could get it Saturday (I assume that this is due to limited deliveries on the weekend), but then he checked and confirmed it will be Tuesday.

[Q] Anyone order their XPlay From Expansys?

For $275, it seems too good to pass up. Has anyone received one from them? Are they new in the box, and do they come with any accessories, like how the AT&T version comes with a dock?

Don't bother...I ordered at £191...waited. waited...nothing. As far as I am aware they still haven't shipped. £154 at chitterchatter.co.uk and it arrived earlier than promised with extras and a 16gb card..bargain.

... I got my Xperia play from Argos at £179.99 also with a 16gb memory card. £179.99 is about $280.

Bought mine from Expansys a few months ago, before the massive price drop.
Came within a few days, all boxed with 16gb microsd and all the extra stuff.
Kinda wish I'd have waited since they're now half what I paid, but I wasn't to know

ordered mine from expansys for 230 euro around end of september, and they reported shipping would start at 4th october.
After a bunch of updates it's now officially (praying god) delayed to 15th october.
I'm seriously concerned that i'm gonna receive this phone the next price drop lol

I'm also w8ing now orderet it last week.. just recievd mail from them:
We receive information from our purchaser that they will be some delay for Xperia Play as there is huge demand since the price drop but not sufficient amount of stock made from SE so for the moment we do not know specific ETA for this product.

this is starting to get irritating.
Now on the website i read "shipping november 1"...
1 of november? are they effin joking? It's almost one ENTIRE month of delay from the initial shipping date of 4 of october...
I'm losing my patience. Is there anywhere else i can buy this phone at that price? I'd be more than happy to cancel my order from those idiots

thanks man but i don't know if i can get this, i'm from italy, is it sim-free? I mean, i can read that it comes with a simcard with 5 free bucks in it, but i wonder if i can throw that in the toilet and use my italian simcard..
If that's possibile, then i'll be more than happy to send expansys to hell

My purchase experience...What about yours?

So I wanted to create a thread where everyone can write bout there purchase experience, whether good or bad..
I purchased mines from Negri Electronics and could not be happier. I recieved her today the packaging was secure and full of surprises. Enclosed was the unit wrapped in a nice bag, a USA wall plug (to compensate for the UK version), an ANDY Android figurine (nice touch) long with a thnk you card from them. The Item shipped Black Friday a day after Thanksgiving, Only because they worked there tails off on Thanksgiving itself to make sure all there units shipped Friday. For that I thank them. I could not have been happier with my choice!
How was your experience, please share

Can you stop saying "mines"? Just a pet peeve of mine, thanks. I've seen it in almost all your posts.

Can i ax you to get off his nuts?

To answer your question about my purchasing experience, it has been good so far. I placed an order with Handtec last Wednesday. If it wasn't for the volume bug I would have received it by Friday. I should have it Tuesday morning at the soonest.

It's a pet peeve of mines too!

I also ordered "mines" from Negri. It's arriving Wednesday. The experience dealing with them was great so far. Knowing what's in the box (unless I don't get a figure ) is even better! Recommended as well.

The only difficulty was deciding whether or not I should purchase one, since I owned both the N1 and Galaxy S I thought it would be rude not to go for the GNex.
Once I'd decided, it was a matter of popping down the high street during my lunch break to grab one. I was in and out within 5 minutes, so all in all MINES was a rather pleasant experience.

Wait wait wait wait wait wait ... You got a gift bag with your nexus O.O!!
Does every retailer do this or is that just Negri ... omg I want to cancel my Handtec order now and order from those ppl...
On that note: Does anyone know how long it takes Google Checkout to refund your money? (Last time I use that stupid method) .. they took off the money the second I ordered my Nexus, I was under the impression you're not supposed to be charged until your order is shipped out >.>

Ordered Wed from Expansys-USA arrived Friday. Paid for overnight. Quite pleased with the service.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium

Mixed bag but then I expect no less from Expansys. Phone is here, I'm at work, delivered on time, no issues. I've got a billing issue that I've sent 3 emails in five days, holiday excluded, and no reply.
This fits squarely with my past dealings with Expansys: Product delivered on time as described with crappy customer service.

Got mine from local Phones4U store day after official launch. Went in when it opened to find out they put the sim free price up overnight by £80 to £629 . Didn't buy it.
Phoned head office to complain. They confirmed price increase. I told them about an official phones4u tweet sent earlier in the day that the price would be £549 so they arranged £100 off from local store. Went back and picked it up for £529. Next day, the price went back down to £549.
Bunch of jokers. Only bought from there as didn't want to wait a week for my pre order from clove.

Got mine from Phones4U. It was dreadful from start to finish. To cut a long story short an error in their system for Orange upgrades meant delays. Then delays shipping. It was supposed to come the day after I ordered it but took a week instead; their customer service throughout was dire.
On top of that the "launch" on the 17th was only in one store, and they only told everyone that on the morning of the 17th!
Still, I have it now and love it. Alls well that ends well as they say

Ordered through Negri, cancelled it because Expansys assured me Friday delivery was a go.

btw do we get some sort of warrenty ("we" = USA ppl) ?

Through Expansys-USA, yes. You have to send the phone to them and in-turn they send to the UK for repair. Never had to go that route, but I image it's a long process...
Better than nothing though.

Ugh, it's been a huge fiasco, and I still don't have a phone!
Originally, I ordered last Friday (8 days ago) on Expansys USA for $750. On Saturday (seven days ago), I noticed that handtec would ship to the USA from the UK, it would come out to $50 cheaper, and it looked like it would get here first (at the time handtec seemed very proactive and confident they would ship my order ASAP).
On Saturday I sent a cancellation email to expansys, ordered from handtec, and waited. When Monday came, expansys cancelled my order no problem, and handtec needed all sorts of information (my passport + utility bill) to confirm my address, so my order didn't even get fully processed until Tuesday thanks to time zone differences.
Finally, Tuesday rolled around and they announced they were going to stop shipping because of the bug - I emailed them immediately and asked they send it anyway, they gave me the 24-48hrs BS, and eventually gave me Monday. Bullsh*t.
In the end, if I had kept my Expansys order, I probably would have my GN by now, and I wouldn't be hoping a UK company gets stock they claimed they would have a week ago. At least they upgraded to expedited shipping. .

UK Pre Order-Waiting Room

So I ordered through Mobile phones direct, expected delivery is the 8th, contacted them today and they are saying they will begin shipping on the 7th. This is no use to me and I won't be getting mine on Friday as I live in the northern parts of Scotland. However it is an indication that others Such as 02 & Vodafone will begin on the 7th.
Use this thread to provide carrier updates as to when you get your notifications of shipping through.

I've preordered through Three and have Friday 8th as the delivery date.

Carphone Warehouse O2 upgrade here, Friday 8th delivery promised.
I've also ordered a snapdragon from abroad which will get here early next week.
I'll do some cpu/battery benchmarks and probably return the Exynos

Had my call from Samsung store earlier to book my collection time slot for Friday.
S10+ Ceramic Black 8/512 ready and waiting ?

I ordered mine for use in the US from Clove UK - an awesome retailier I have used to buy virtually every Samsung Phone since the S8 Plus. Good Prices - fast shipping (considering it is overseas) and awesome support. Whether they ship on the 7th or 8th, I won't get it until Monday because it is overseas - but it will be worth the wait.

Hey, which model did you order?. I'm looking to get the Exynos version as well, usually get it from Ebay, but I've heard of Clove as well. Looking to get the Black 1Tb, but its not available.

Samsung UK ships on 7th and delivers the day after, nobody got their units in the UK yet.
