Same for all the shops...damn!
Yep, just got a reply now from Handtec.co.uk (what are they doing up at this time!):
"Thank you for your email,
The HTC Desire sim free release date has now been slightly postponed, this is in response to confirmation from HTC that the release of this product will not be the previously mentioned 29th March but will be anytime between now and the 7th April,
I do apologise for this delay however this will not only affect Handtec however will affect all UK retailers as this has been imposed by HTC directly, however once the stock arrives we will promptly dispatch the goods,
Please advise if we can assist you further."
Damn.
That's funny, then how has mine been despatched by T-Mobile and they actually have them in?
Or is this just the retail / sim free units?
That's very upsetting! It's on their website now, too.
I thought the same, but their response to me made reference to sim free versions being delayed. No idea why this would be. Gutted really.
I got an e-mail from T-Mobile, saying mine has already shipped.
Supposedly it should reach me tomorrow (Saturday).
Clove sent me an email this afternoon too saying more or less the same thing. They emphasized that the unlocked/sim free version is delayed though, that's probably why the T-Mobile ones are shipping out no problem. Just a guess about that last one though.

Yeah I got the same from Clove back to the 7th
A little annoying but I will just have to put up with the hd2 for another week or so I guess. Cant complain to much.. Just returned to its original release date. Also received the mail from Clove at about half 5-6ish..
I guess it goes to show the pushing power the networks have when they want the hardware to go to them first.
That the main thing that frustrates me... I'm willing to pay £400 for the device but have to wait an extra week or so for the pleasure. Ahhh well I'm sure I will live..
Now I have nothing to look forward to...besides Easter egg hunting bwahaha
(Anyone like Peeps?)
Yeah I hope the first shipment is bigger than expected. I ordered mine from Clove and they already told me that mine will be shipped from the second lot. That was supposed to be on 2nd April (3 days later) so I will probably have to wait until the 10th to get mine shipped
Still, it's nice of them to keep us informed. Many places I have pre-ordered from in the past (particularly from Hong Kong) just keep you in the dark when due-dates change. That is the reason I won't deal with Expansys any more (not to mention their over-inflated prices).
Well, to those of you who went the carrier route, I think you're obligated to get reviews up IMMEDIATELY so those of us who are waiting have something to look at
Does anyone know if HTC provided a reason for the delay? If it's to fix a bug I'm more than happy to wait a little longer...
Allegedly, the Desire ROM failed Google testing - and the Big T fixed the issue quicker: www-coolsmartphone-com/news5645.html
Sorry, with a join date back in 2008 I'm a new user and must not use links ;-)
I'm from Belgium and here the shops have announced the 6th of April as release date although at some point they were mentioning 1st or 2nd of April...
Not a big deal, will wait one more week
Pretty annoying. Was getting really excited already, now gotta wait a whole lot longer. As I only recently pre ordered may be even longer till I get it....
It's weird!
Expansys UK and UAE are saying that they will have it in 4 days aka April 1...
Could they have pre-release stock like T-mobile?
When I heard about this on Saturday I was gutted and immediately assumed that HTC were putting the network carriers ahead of their direct customers, but if the Coolsmartphone report is correct then all is forgiven and I'd rather wait and let the HTC engineers work their magic.
From reading the posts on here of issues found by T-mobile folks who have received their phones already then it appears to me that they are mirroring the issues that were reported of early Desire ROMs, and if these are fixed in the phone I eventually receive then I'll be a contented bunny. In fact I'd even give HTC a big thumbs up to have the "spuds" to risk upsetting their fanbase by delaying launch to ensure that those of us forking out the full ~£400 for the Desire receive the best quality product possible.
However with people reporting issues, so unnerving me about the phone I'm going to get, and others saying it's fab so turning me green with envy, I might just have to give these forums a miss for the next week or so to keep my sanity!
Just a general thread, have you pre-ordered the One X yet? Vote in the Poll
Amazon rules! (white color)
Really considering this, my first Android was the DHD and loved it. Been on the SGS2 since launch but this One X something about it that is making me want it.

I would go for it (well, obviously I would say that as I have pre-ordered it!)
However, the only issue for me has been battery life but with mobile chargers I decided that wouldn't be an issue. If you are not fussed about getting it on release, you could simply wait for the S3 announcement and decide between the two - although the One X camera will be hard to beat imo - the features anyway.
I've "registered my interest" with Vodafone. They're going to call me when it's available. Hopefully I'm one of the 1st in the queue.
not due for an upgrade until mid May, so I'm going to hold out to see if any major issues appear before I either upgrade or jump ship to another provider.
about 98% sure I will be getting one though
I think the options of the poll don't cover everything, my selection would be:
No, but considering to pre-order very soon...
I'm not 100% sure what is stopping me... I'd like to see an official announcement about beats, I'd be interested to know if the deluxe set would be released in UK, I'd like to know for sure what the final price would be (I'm going to be purchasing phone sim free).
I'm also changing companies in 5 months time and maybe they have different policies on phones so maybe I should wait... but then I could always sell it...
Also when I bought my HTC Desire maybe 6 months later they announced the Desire HD, so part of me also wonders if a new flagship will be released in 6 months time and maybe I should wait as I'm not in desperate need of a new phone... but on the other hand I cant think of anything that I need that isn't on the HTC One X and if I did buy it then I plan on it being my phone for the next 2 years.
The HTC One X looks good, I would really like to get back to Android sooner or later (WP7 is not for me...), I really want a HTC phone so GS3 is not an option for me.
So I'm more than likely going to pre-order I just haven't hit the submit button yet...

Firstly, apologies I didn't think of the million different potential options.
Also, if you wait for the "next best thing" all the time, you will NEVER get a new phone?

I use clove.uk. Handtec is good as well although they take your money upfront and lie about when it will be released. There is no tax. Clove.uk will send DHL for a minimal rate. Prices are very similar. There are other options as well.
I purchased from eBay on a pre-order auction from a reputable seller. The reason I did this is because I had a 10 percent off coupon for the electronics category. I ended up getting a black one out the door for 656 including shipping.
Suddenly I am interested in the S3, if the March 30th event is to be believed..
Still got my One X on pre-order - would anyone cancel and swap to the S3 if it is good enough?
Yes, the grey version!
I find it hard to wait for 2 weeks. Im looking forward
till the first real reviews!
Yeah!
i pre-ordered it on CLOVE TECHNOLOGY in UK (grey version) and is more cheapest than other sites
In Netherlands the price is already as low as € 545 excluding shipping. I wonder what price does after the release? I really want it. I think even though high price it must be worth. Ofcourse when waiting the price will go down, but keeping mine evo 3d until the price is dropped by like maybe € 100 then mine Evo 3D would be dropped in price even more.

Meh... I prefer HTC, but it isn't that simple. The GS2 produced arguably one of the best dev communities ever. That phone was spec'd out like a beast too. While I don't believe it was/is the end all be all, it deserves a lot of the attention it gets. Samsung put a lot of good hardware in, and they also ship their phones with unlocked bootloaders. Unlike HTC that is becoming less and less dev friendly...

as title says.they told me 11th April
same here, told me on the phone the 7th but my email confirmation says the 11th.
Also the 11th for my order with dialaphone. Seems like everyone got the same date. Still if it comes sooner then that's great.
11th for me too.
Mine says 11th too, shows credit check passed. They've also taken payment for the handset.
this is mainly due to bank holiday weekends ofcourse. Never mind few days more will not kill you.
Tad confused now, found this on their FB page.
Dialaphone Hi Mike, Thanks for your post. The expected delivery date for all HTC One X handsets is the 12th April. Let me know if you have any further questions and have a great day. Cheers, Espi.

11th for me as well on the Vodafone contract. Don't mind waiting a few extra days but would be nice to get it before Easter holidays, doubt that will happen!
It may possibly come earlier.
This late date might be for the stats as proof they have 'exceeded customers' expectations' by delivering earlier than promised. Who knows, it may have a 'stretch target' to exceed delivery times to qualify for a bonus.
On the other hand, they might be telling the truth

They told me the 12th on Twitter as well, but all our order pages say the 11th.
Think they are simply covering their backs in case of holiday delays.

thanks! i feel better now since i can't pay until then. i was already planning to pay extra for next day shipping. it stills says pre-order on Negri Electronics, so it's probably the same date for them.

They have probably been given a script and their calls will be listened to and QC'd to check they stick to it. I suspect the first we will hear if its an earlier date is an email saying its shipping.
so, after paying vodafone to bring my commitment date earlyer so i can upgrade, i went through dialaphone purely because voda was asking far too much,
so i went for a white one x voda upgrade
free handset
htc media link
£31 pm 300 mins / unlim texts/1gb data
delivery i was told would be the 7th. that was today at lunch i made the order,
i was waiting for the s3 but im impatient, owning
hero/desire/desire z/desire hd/ to my current nexus s with custom rom. i wanted to go for this handset and canny wait,
purchased my screen protecters already,in car kit,home dock tooo,
sorry to ramble on lol, cheers,
I ordered my One X through Dialaphone almost 2 weeks ago now, I did call and speak to a gent just before ordering and he said they where due them in on the 7th, which if your not aware is Good Friday, if this is true then they probably won't ship till the following Tuesday after Easter Monday. That would make delivery date the 11th which is what everyone's order probably does say!
I live in hope that they may come in a day earlier and MAYBE come on the Friday/Saturday but it is unlikely so I am just banking on the 11th, itll be far less disppointing that way
I don't know why companies like HTC choose such a stupid time to release handsets. They could have chose any week, instead they choose Easter week. So annoying, lol.
But you are right, all these conspiracy theories about the phones being shipped late due to branding are probably all a load of crap. It's just the lack of days available to deliver due to the holidays that is causing the delays.
It's still not to say obviously that some phones could be branded, but lets hope not.
I've read a lot about people who have returned their phones. I thought it would be handy if we had one thread where people could state if they have returned their phone, why it was returned and how many devices they have been through.
I have sent mine back today. Dial a Phone said they would send a prepaid 'Special Delivery' envelope, however they only sent first class. I won't be able to track it now.
It was sent due to the screen flickering as I have mentioned in the other thread.
Hopefully it will be the first and last time I have to do so.
Same as OP. Sent today pre paid envelope to DAP for same reasons. White model made in Taiwan. Screen strobing on greys on all brightness levels.
Sent an exchange request to Affordable Mobiles (screen ripples and strobing), won't surprise me if they take days to respond and then ask me to pay for postage

Did you get a prepaid special delivery envelope or was it prepaid first class?
Wonder what the turn around on this will be. Hope it will be here before Thursday as it's getting delivered to my Dads and he's off on holiday for a week.

Pre paid first class, however I paid for SD as didn't want to risk losing it.
Check your DAP account under my messages. I've already got a message from them couple of days ago saying order process has been delayed until tomorrow. Guess they are just awaiting arrival of phone sent today before dispatching new one.
I'm just returning from Carphone Warehouse's store where I returned my One X for a refund. Yesterday I got the first one I bought replaced, just to find a little bit later that the replacement exhibits the same screen flickering / banding / glitches issues as the first one. What really pissed me off with the replacement was that in addition half of its sensors were broken:
* Panasonic 3-axis Magnetic Field sensor
* Panasonic Orientation sensor
* Panasonic Rotation Vector
* Panasonic Liner Acceleration
* Panasonic Gravity
So the guys at Carphone Warehouse were kind enough to immediately issue me a refund, but what really amazed me is that they acted as if I was just the most unlucky person in the world and they have never heard of anyone else having those issues.
The moral from this - I just didn't want to waste my time any more hoping and waiting for the dreaded HTC firmware update.
I have asked to return mine and am awaiting a returns envelope from phones4u to send it back in, however the phone was dropped yesterday and has scuffed the casing so waiting to here if this will cause a problem with the return as per this thread.

Nice so we could potentially have it on Wednesday if they use the same SD.
returned my one x back ! will wait for the next galaxy to come out, till then galxy nexus will do the job !
had two white one x's. two were having the creaking noise. the other one had the power button loose and the other one had software issues. got me a grey one today and this is the third one. so far this one feels more solid than the other two i had. came close each time to going for the galaxy nexus but i thought maybe third time lucky....so far so good and i am glad i kept this
My OneX arrived back at buymobilephones.net this morning for non-working g-sensor and they say its working fine!!.
I did everything to try and get it working and it suddenly starts once it goes back!.
Not impressed with that for a start.
Slim
Just returning my 2nd hox from three UK (grey) model.
1st HTC one x was dead on arrival, not charging or turning on.
2nd HTC has screen flickering and all usual bugs, intermittent graphic anomalies, coloured bars on left while using camera, browser distorted graphics in top bar and weird box in middle of screen, sense reloading constantly even with 2 factory resets.
Phoned HTC and they said they new of no problems or bugs with one x and no updates coming. Very worrying. 3rd handset on way, last chance HTC then over to galaxy III.
Now getting my third handset tomorrow. All been white.
1st phone. Shocking battery life.
Second phone. Hairline crack, screen flicker, screen glitches
Sent from my HTC One X using xda premium
my second one comes this week to. (display backlight jumping)
just wonder whats about the dropbox space, every phone another 23gb? did you try to pump up another account?

Currently holding the One S, no issues yet, battery life seems to be great. Get my One X tomorrow, man I got my fingers crossed it will be ok, going to upload a vid comparing them I will link it here, fingers crossed no issues... god I am hoping lol
Ere u go , HTC UK.
01279 206906
So if my phone is doing all of these I should return it:
1. Has a flickering screen
2. Flash makes everything yellow on camera
3. Browser UI is glitching up on me with graphical distorts
4. Battery dies in 20mins of use
5. Keyboard moves me to random places while I type
Yes or no?
Sounds like most of you are getting nowhere returning them all the time. And it sounds like some of you are getting shoddy repair jobs done that are breaking the phone even more.
Logic tells me to get a refund and wait untill a model that works is released and buy the phone again. I love this phone too
Just sent my white HTC one x back to buymobilesdirect as it had screen corruption under touch pressure, fantastic phone apart from that.
Will have my new one on wednesday, fingers crossed!
I bought GTA 3 and showdowgun will I be able to redownload for free or am I going to have to pay for them again??

Sent from my SM-G900V using XDA Free mobile app
Mine just shipped via FedEx and will be delivered on Friday!
Mine is coming on friday also. Glad everyone seems to have theirs shipped.
Now we just need s-off because I will still run my m8 till we get full root for custom roms, I will just tinker with my m9 till then.
Anyone have a java card or know much about them ?
I"am interested cost wise and if they only work so many times or ?
Yes, you buy the java card with a certain amount of credits. They can only be used a certain number of times. I think these run about 1200-1500. I thought they came with 500 credits but may be mistaken.
What kills me is mine is sitting in the FedEx facility 25 minutes from my house and I know they won't deliver early. UPS does at times but I've never seen FedEx deliver early.
jcase has already said he is sure they can get S-Off on the M9 so most likely will get It soon after we get our M9's
Mine is on vehicle for delivery! I'll post pictures when I get it!

I will get mine tomorrow I believe verizon had fed ex delay my delivery until friday, because mine ewas picked up like 2am in pa then went to newark nj and sat there for 11 hours.
Many times I get ground shipments from pa to ohio in one day and 2 day is supposed to be faster so I really should have received mine today but THANK YOU VERIZON for that.

Yeah, 1 day delivery. I'm really liking it! The biggest change exterior wise besides the camera is the sharp edges which I'm really enjoying. I already adjusted the settings on the camera as per that camera post on the picture quality thread said and the pictures do look better.
Also, no heating problems, even when I was installing all 40+ apps from Google's backup and another 15 updates after that.
I like it a lot, and all I have to say about the haters on Sammy's side is that, finally the got to beat HTC with their camera and got close to the One lineup build quality and they are roaring out of control about it... I guess they couldn't say much about HTC before and now they are parading about it.
Hope you guys get yours soon!
Mine arrived yesterday! I've had it now for 24 hours.
I have had mine for a little over 24 hours and so far I'm fairly impressed with the speed
Pro's:
Much faster. The whole experience just seems quicker. Bench test scores are off the chart.
Pictures certainly are clearer with far better detail.
Sense 7 is an improvement over 6 (as soon as we have S-Off and GPE, Sense is history anyway)
Cons:
Don't like the volume button placement
When you push it, this phone gets pretty warm. Even through a case I feel it getting warm when pushing it.
Not a big enough change to switch from the M8 for most people (I Edged up after a year)
Neutral:
Battery life still a question. Took 3 hours to charge to 100 from 50 and just sitting overnight lost 13% with no use. OS may need some time to stabilize or could be because I have been running GPE on the M8 which was great on battery.
