Just spoke to a nice lady over a T-Mobile who said they have received a very large shipment of units about 10 minutes ago.
Those waiting for a Desire from them should receive them either tomorrow or the next day.
Excellent news - Mine was booked for tomorrow over a week ago. Also getting a SE W995 to replace an excellent but battered K800i, but I'll bet that there's no stock problems on that one...
se w995
i considered getting the w995
but id rather wait a month and get the x10 mini pro! release date 24.05.
X10 Mini does look nice, but my better half hates the newer touch-screeny things (she's managed to put people on hold and send blank messages whilst on the same phone call before on my handsets), doesn't like QWERTY and wanted something as close to the K800 as possible - which didn't leave a lot of choice. Just a shame SE ditched the xenon flash from the C905 - the K800 really is a camera with a phone added on. Plus the W995 is the last one available with the huge SE multi connector, and there's a bit of legacy stuff to transfer (like the in-car equipment). Overall the W995 is a good handset, plus I got a money-saving deal on it compared to current Flext35 - free Internet too, which means I don't have to fiddle with the system like before (I'd set the Internet to use a picture as homepage and proxy server, because it was too easy to knock it on when cancelling stuff).
Aw nuts - delayed until Thursday! Still, the W995 arrived on time so at least there's that to play with...
Just got a text saying my Desire is going to be delivered 8am-2pm Thursday. Good job I don't have work to go to that day.
Had you ordered online or on the phone?
I got a phonecall yesterday about 6:15pm, saying it will arrive today. Nothing yet.. Fingers crossed!
how long has everyone been waiting? i ordered mine on the 29th of march and still no sign, hoping its going to show up today.

well ain't that just a doozy
Just over a week - mind you, when they said it could be shipped by last Thursday I asked for the phone to be delayed a bit cos I was away... now it looks like that dropped me down the 'priority' list a bit.
Also, ordered by phone - in my experience, I always get a better deal talking to someone rather than clicking web offers...
Ordered from T-Mobile last Thursday. Email last night saying out of stock.
Phoned up this morning to complain and was told that more were expected this pm and they would keep an eye on my order. Now just had an email saying delivery tomorrow.
It seems as though it pays to complain.......!
Who has paid the higher price for the phone?

£89 handset
300 mins
unlim texts (with the flexi booster)
unlim internet
£15 per month, 24 months.
Is what I'm paying.
Hasn't arrived yet, but I just rang up and they said it's en route, and can be delivered up to 6pm.
Carrier is royal mail if anyone was wondering.
I ordered mine at 8:30am on the 26th March and by last Thursday I still had heard nothing, so I went instore and the guy there told me I would have to cancel my upgrade with 150. I phoned them up and told them the situation and they recreated my deal on the system instore, so the guy instore basically handed me a form so sign and my handset. He said he had never seen anything like that before. Took all of 2 minutes
ordered easter sunday.
got an email out of stock immediately
got another one last night
then this morning got the email saying it had shipped.
hoping it's waiting for me when i get home from work tomorrow!
paid £95 for the phone on the £15/24m contract. about £450 over the 2 years.
would have gone for the £164 on the £10/24m contract which is £404 over the two years, but didn't have a spare £164 at that exact moment!
Hmmm, I guess we were the last of our kind to pay the lower handset cost. The next generation of buyers will have to fork out at least £60 more. That doesn't please me btw

I just ordered my Tilt 2 today around 2:00pm PST. I got them to waive the overnight delivery fee and the CS rep said I should receive it tomorrow. I have checked the status on the website and it says "backordered."
I've since read numerous posts in this forum about others having the same issue. What I'm wondering (for my own peace of mind hopefully) is how long did it take to you to receive yours once you ordered it?
Thanks in advance.
I ordered mine late Friday night, shipped yesterday, got it today with overnight shipping.
Ordered from premier on Thursday, got it Friday
Ordered today at 11am on the phone, got the order confirmation email 2 hours later and just got a fedex number email a couple hours after that saying its shipped and being delivered tomorrow. No mention of any backorder like some people are getting.
Thanks
Thanks for the quick responses. I wonder what's up with some people having no issues and others having mad issues...
ordered mine saturday afternoon and received it today. att is pretty good with their priority shipping. i handle some of the blackberry ordering at my work and we always get priority shipping and always arrives the next day.
Ordered mine LATE Monday night, shipped earlier this afternoon, scheduled to arrive on Thursday.
ordered yest at 11..got it today at 2
It's now 7 hours later and it still says backordered. Maybe they have run out?

Probably. And since the Touch Pro 2 on Verizon has been out of stock for so long, the new inventory probably won't be in for another month or two. Probably in time for the holidays though!
Just kidding...that's just how AT&T's inventory system works for some reason. It'll probably ship tonight/tomorrow morning, and you'll have it before the weekend.

Wow, you really crushed my spirits for a minute! I'm really hoping I get it tomorrow, as promised. I'm just so anxious I feel like a kid the night before they go to Disneyland for the first time. I can't even look at my Blackberry Bold right now because it just makes me want my Tilt 2 more!
Ordered it Thursday night at 8pmish and got a tracking number by noon the next day. So called "Two Day Shipping" got it here Tuesday. It was worth it, but it took longer than I cared for...
Ordered mine today on the phone around 1pm. I thought I was just getting priority, but looked online and found out it will be here tomorrow by 3pm. Sweet! Thanks for the free overnight upgrade ATT. After the rebate I get the phone for $125. I'm stoked!

Did you get an email with a confirmation that you'll receive Wed by 3pm or did you find out through the AT&T website?
The rest of the loyal att customers are going to have to wait another week or two. The local stores can only pre order but att will not release the stock to ship anytime soon. They only shipped the dummy phones to the stores, so i got to play with that. One store had the screen protection kit for the tilt 2. That might be a sign it is coming soon.
So frustrated right now...it's like I'm obsessed...checking the order status page every 5 mins!!!!
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.
Tom
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!

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

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.
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?

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.
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

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.

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.

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

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. .
Yes yes, I know they'll probably fix it. Usually Sprint ships them early and UPS tells me the tracking number exists with no delivery date. This time I got all the notifications of a pending delivery tomorrow including the email/order update from sprint saying it's delivering tomorrow.
Anyone else?

Mine (3 phones) shows delivery tomorrow (16th) as well. Fingers crossed!
man screw tmobile. i ordered like an hour after pre-order opened and still its giving me a 23rd ship date. they didn't even pulled the funds from my account yet. smh.
Until you actually see scans (i.e. a physical package moving within the UPS system) then I wouldn't get too excited. Sounds like the label was electronically sent to UPS but your (phone) isn't going to be handed to UPS for another week. That's 168 hours.

In my past experience with Sprint, they would hand them to UPS and UPS was told to hold them until such and such date. Same way apple has always done it.
This year, have the legit sprint order page, UPS, ETC all saying 16th delivery. I'm also less than 2 hours from the sprint warehouse they ship from.
Not saying I will for sure get it, this is just really weird for sprint.
Nah.
Happens with all the phones.
They make the tracking numbers but ups doesnt pick them up until closer to release date.
Been through this for years

sort of...
Past 6 pre-orders not once has Sprint told me my product had shipped until the intended ship date. I knew it shipped early as UPS had tracking, but UPS has ALWAYS picked the package up early and held it. So if that's changed, it's a new practice for Sprint, least for me.
Same thing Apple had done for years. They would ship them early and UPS would hold them sometimes as long as a week before delivering. I think Apple may have stopped though since their packages were obvious and phones were getting out early.
Not to mention I've gotten pre-orders early before. It was actually how I got lucky and got that Samsung bundle of the 256Gb MicroSD and the bluetooth headphones for $100 at the time few years ago. I remember because most of the sprint customers got that deal, most everyone else didn't make it in with a few exceptions. Want to say we had the phone like 3-4 days early that time.
More power to you if you get it early.
But i only heard of a few cases where people did.
I got one phone a day ealry. They ship it with 2day shipping but i live close to the shipping place and got it 1 day early.
But we will see what happens

It might have been the Note 8, hair foggy on all that. I also remember best buy being late by a few days on pre-orders. No one with a best buy pre-order could get the $100 samsung bundle from what I remember. Not a place I'd pre-order from.
I checked another spot it dawned on me to look, UPS's app shows a 16th delivery date, but also list August 21st. Since it's 2 day shipping, the August 21st date would have to be a requested date I imagine. Still going to be earlier than the rest of the carriers I bet

Yeah bestbuy is pretty bad for pre orders. When I worked there we would somehow misplace them only to find them a week later. Sometimes we would receive them but they would sit in our shipping area for days without being scanned in so basically it would show in our system as not in stock. Deliveries were a low priority in our store so even when a customer would show up to pick one up I wasn't able to just scan them in they would have me do something else in the store instead. I highly advise not ordering from them. Those examples are just few of many that would happen. The most extreme examples are breaking them from heavier packages falling on top or actually throwing them into our sorting containers. We return a lot of cellphones for the reason but managers didn't seem to care.
So looks like it's being delivered tomorrow. Still a few days early from what I saw as official release is friday. Got my case in and despite the reviews I saw acting like it was gigantic compared to the Note 9, it's not really that much bigger in physical form. They are nearly identical.

Yeah I went to T-Mobile last week to compare. Can't really tell if they are different or not. Just the screen that's bigger.
Nice. Mines not coming until 18 days after the phones released... ? So much for a "Pre-order".
On my way to pick mine up right now. NZ pre order. Can't wait to play
I've my Note 10+?.
It arrived 5 minutes ago with DHL.
I have ordered it over 1 & 1, Germany
Two of mine will be here in a few hours.. on the truck now... my 3rd will be a bit delayed until next week... all ordered through samsung. The 600 dollar trade in is a no brainer!!!
Just received my Sprint Note 10+ today
