Not sure wither they really "secured large quantity" or "not alot of people ordered from them" but mehh...
So if you still did not order and you want to get your device from the first batch, go here
When I spoke to them earlier in the week, having consulted the sales director, they told me they had about 400 orders. At that time, they did not know for sure how many they would get in the first batch although they had ordered, if I remember right, about 4,000.

Wow 4000, thats a fortune, ... but it would not be a problem, it will sell like anything. The most important thing though, is that when people get their first Desires the devices should (and hopefully will) be flawless, and doesnt have any major bugs, or else it will effect the sales of the device forever.
I for one waiting for proper reviews and real life experience from people in XDA, before i make my order

Not me! I'm in there! I want mine on Tuesday!
I'm so fed up with WM 6.5 on my HD2. Using the touchscreen for some of the settings (like drop down boxes) behind Sense and on some apps is getting to be a nightmare.
However, I do respect your view.

I hope you get yours ASAP ... and then come back and share with us the holographic experience you're having with the Desire
I think others may beat me to it. Unfortunately, I still keep to the rule of charging a new battery for 12 to 14 hours before first use. I know many people say this is not necessary for these batteries but others say it still is - so better safe than sorry! Mind you, the cost of spare batteries seems extremely reasonable at Handtec.
cant wait for a full review or some XDA member experience its coming, we just have to wait a little bit longer

You should be aware that over charging Lithium Polymer batteries, especially on the first charge, is very bad for them, as is completely flattening them. that's why, with modern devices, once they have died you cant get them to come back on by waiting a while and trying to power up again, it a protection feature!
I know this seems counter intuitive given 20 years of using NiCad batteries but none the less, it is true!
How did I let this thread get by me
I have been speaking with them and told them the situation with Clove. They assured me that they have plenty of stock and will start processing and shipping out orders Monday
So...if I am lucky and get all the Customs [email protected] taken care of ASAP, I should have it by Wednesday
Is Lithium Polymer and Lithium Ion the same battery type?
If yes: http://batteryuniversity.com/partone-12.htm

So none can say how many pieces they are going to receive...even if I thnk they know how many Desire are going to be stocked...
On his hand Clove seems to be more honest, that's his answer:
We will try and send next week, but we have limited stock arriving and should really ship in chronological order.
Thank you.

yeah I just spoke to Clove to make sure they got my purchase order. They said they find out how many they get on Monday, likely to actually ship on Tuesday. Restocks will come in 2nd April for anyone that misses first batch
Ordered one from Devicewire this morning, shuold have it Tuesday
I've spoken to Hantec today, and they told me they're shipping on Monday and Tuesday. Beginning to look like it's the same for everyone, including T-Mobile.

Own a Nexus S. Thinking about upgrade to GN.
In Hong Kong, we got a message that Samsung has stopped the production of GN. Shops are offering final sales at HK$3700 / US$474.
It is a good price to buy. But it is very strange to see that Samsung has stopped the production so early, 5 months after release. GN was just released in November.
Is it possible that GN's hardware is buggy and Google needs to issue a new version?
I tried to look for answers in forums. But no luck. Pls give me some hints. thank you!
Any software bugs don't worry me. I am using CM9. I believe in the power of open source community.
So far, I've been more than happy with my GNex.
I bought mine on release day.
Only issues so far have been software related so I flashed AOKP and have never looked back.

Do you see any screen "burn"?
There are no bugs, the global market version is just dropping everywhere. Its a steal I think. Its a low volume model and they're just trying to sell them.
There are price threads right in this forum talking about it.
Only issues I've had so far have been software-related and nothing related to hardware.
No hardware is perfect. And quality control is a lot worse than you'd like to know. That being said, I highly doubt that Google will quietly "refresh" the hardware. The phones been out too long, they're not doing that and there are no blatant defects.

Does the life cycle of a smart phone become much shorter now? released less than half a year, then stop production.

Carriers will not continue to sell devices if:
1. The contract they have with the OEM does not require it.
And
2. Sales are not doing well. They will not continue to buy devices if they are not selling.
Hardware does not have to be the reason.

I think Google should keep at least one developer phone available in the market.
Anyway, after reading you guys' comments, I have decided to buy one. thx for the info!
Hope I can get one since it was out of stock for the last week. GN is so hot in HK.

#imbussels
If I may contribute:
A few weeks (maybe 6 or 7) after I got the GN, there was a problem with the microUSB connection. It would not charge if it was on, either from a USB port or the wall charger.
To charge it, I had to turn it off or pull the battery several times and connect it while it was still off. Even then, I had to try several times until it finally did charge.
After almost two weeks of that, everything went normal again. To this day, I have no idea whether it was hardware or software related.
Here's a thread with people having a similar issue.

You mean #imbeciles?
Anyway, Verizon and Sprint's sales does not reflect what is (or is not) happening in China.
The phone is still produced in Brazil as "Galaxy X" (as Nexus brand is already used by another company that did not allow Samsung / Google to use it to promote the phone), and recently has been introduced to Sprint users, so, my guess is that either it won't be produced/sold in your country or someone is misinformed...

..buying the Galaxy S3, and instead waiting for the next Nexus?
I'm sick of waiting for a new hardware qwerty to come out (will it ever?) and my Vision is really starting to show it's age, looks and performance-wise.
So I need a new phone, like yesterday. The S3 is begging me to buy it. Can you convince me otherwise?

Sure. Just send me the $ you'd spend on the GS3 and you can't buy it. Done deal.
Have you looked into the HTC Doubleshot?
It's a great qwerty phone that I've been using for the past few months to replace my old G2
And we've been getting a good amount of dev action recently too. Check out the threads

Not available in the UK :-(
You're sick of waiting. Your Vision is starting to suck. Get the best phone right now, rather than waiting. Waiting is generally silly when it comes to tech. Sorry to not be talking you out of the S3, but it's going to blow your G2/Vision away, even without the QWERTY..
I'm thinking of doing the same, because it seems that we won't get a decent, customizable phone with a hardware keyboard in the foreseeable future..
For what it's worth, if Google goes with Samsung the next Nexus will prob be a slightly tweaked GSIII.
Don't keep looking toward the horizon, find a phone you like now (or the near future) and get it. Something better is ALWAYS coming.
I agree with Nospin pretty much. Keep your G2 for now. There aren't many phones right now that are very much comparable IMO. I've got ICS running on mine and its lightening fast. Every time I go to check out the new phones I can't help but think mine is slightly better of just as good. So why spend the money on something new when you don't need it? Just keep flashing away until you find something that fits you, but again IMO, be like me and go with Adromadus Audacity...its a great ROM.

well I was talking about the looking toward the horizon part. Better to just stick with the G2 for now as there are all of these "better phones" out now. Wait it out until something REALLY good catches your eye, for now the G2 does what all of the new phones do if not more.

Buy one off eBay. Or I'm willing to sell you my spare if you don't mind paying shipping costs (PM me)
EDIT: if there are any devs that would like to get into this device, please PM me. I can sort you with a device for a lot less than what you normally would pay, possibly even free
This is NOT an advertisement. Just trying to stimulate development for our device

Searched for him, and this is what I found. I don't even have the heart to PM him after reading that thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1461503
And now I think I might really want one. Trouble is, I have to buy all my phones unsubsidized, as I'm on a business account through my job and I'm not "important" enough to warrant a high-end Android device. So I was thinking I could sell my Shooter, 2 EVO LTEs (a white one and a black one) and an M8 to try and raise funds for it. I assume the price will be around $700, as has been the case with previous flagship devices.
Anyone know of a good place to get good prices on these devices? I'd like to defer the cost a bit if I can, otherwise I won't be able to get one until next year or later (also have to save up for an anniversary gift for my "first mate" lol). Priorities, I guess.
It seems like there's going to be a good crowd on this device so I think I'd really like to be a part of it.
Please share your suggestions so I can make this happen!
P.S. I'm still hoping to be able to build Android from my phone, but I guess that would require an Ubuntu Touch port. I wonder if that would be possible . . .

I'd think the price would be $600-$650, as that is what most flagships like the S6, G3, M8, etc. go for.
If you have craigslist, go for that. It may not be the safest but you can find fantastic deals. Or... you know, wait for the m10 to be released! who knows, in that year or later it would be out.

You're talking about the U.S. right? That's the price for most flagships. The exception being the Note 4 which I believe was $699, and the Note Edge.
I hope you get an M9 or M9 plus. I use your Beyond Stock Rom as my daily driver. I haven't updated to Android 5 yet, figure I might as well just wait till M9 is out. I have pretty Loyal to HTC. 8th HTC phone in a row I will have got most of them on release day. HTC Touch Pro, TP2, EVO 4G, EVO 3D, EVO LTE, M7, M8 & M9 or M9+

You know what. They had a chance to fix this. Now they screwed over their most faithful customers the SECOND time. Causing most of us expences for accessories etc we are likely never to get back.

Or make that ~6" Note that was looming and tested. Perhaps the battery was designed for the flat version and got too crammed in the edged version.

We all are... And the frustrating part is that there is no other phone that would even compare to Note 7... maybe S7E but it must to receive Grace UI fast. But still the body of N7 will be only awailable with S8 and maybe we will get a 4000 battery and a 6GB of RAM. But to wait for like 5 month nahh...
I would buy a Note 7 that is recalled, as long as it wasn't getting hot through use and charging. I'd buy one for about $400. But not more. I don't have more than $400 to burn.
Sell them to Weber?
You can expect an update disabling these phones and an IMEI block.

I can certainly see why you feel this way. My wife and I got 3 different Samsung covers (flip cover, LED and the see-through) and a variety of leather cases and screen protectors. I'd be surprised if I get the money back I spend on that. And what to think of the vendors who produced these, and likely have lots in stock... Ugh, I'd hate to be on that end. It's seriously frustrating indeed... I guess I'm glad I still have my Note 4, most likely I'll go back to that until there's something comparable

totally inaccurate. IMEI blocking is done strictly through carriers. Since Samsung has no idea what phones are used on what carriers, they cannot block IMEI numbers.
