O.K. Folks, the SIM-free wait is nearly over!!

I have just received this:-
"Hi,
We are receiving this handset is in stock as of tomorrow, 30th March.
Is this okay to charge your card now & ship the item out to you please?
Regards,
Prepaymania"
OMG! OMG! OMG! SIM-free, unlocked, ROM-updated (presumably ) HTC Desire on it's way! And £373 inc. postage as well! Woohoo!!

What store?
EDIT: I see lol

Sim free stock has been available from cpw since yesterday

Yes, ahem, err, got a little over-excited there.
I pre-ordered on 3rd. March, and was told earlier today by phone that stock wouldn't be available until 12th. April, so getting that message today was rather unexpected!
I am assuming it means we'll all be getting our phones very soon as the ROM issue has been sorted. I think it's reasonable to get a little giddy! I'm better now

I can totally understand your excitement, got mine today and all i've done since 4pm is sit and play with it. It really is awsome

Sorry. I'll get me coat.

Exciting news
Hope Clove will ship out soon too...

Says its 439 on there?

Well it doesn't show any stock at prepaymania.co.uk... It takes only PRE-ORDER...

are you outside the uk?
because on their web-site phone costs £439 inc VAT
http://www.prepaymania.co.uk/mobilephone/htc-desire-bravo-unlocked.html
so think yours is without VAT

When I was looking earlier this month, I noticed a website quoting the £373.81 price on PrePayMania (which includes VAT and free delivery) , and pre-ordered at that price. It went up to £439 the very next day, so I got in at a very good price. I am U.K. based. I don't know if they will be changing the website, but the above quote is directly copied from the e-mail I received at 5.40p.m. U.K. time. So excited I can't sleep!
Have to say, PrePayMania have been unfailingly polite and courteous, and a pleasure to deal with by e-mail and phone, and sent me an e-mail confirmimg my price even after they'd increeased it on their website. Top marks to them.

Anyone heard from Clove yet? Last I heard they charged my card (Monday) but no update on shipping yet.

You should email them about it. Perhaps they dispatched your order already. I placed my order at Clove on 8 Mar. My card has not been charged yet. But then I also ordered the Legend which is supposed to start shipping tomorrow. So that may have something to do with it.

Device Wire
Hi guys, my first post here. I have ordered from Device Wire, £397 altogether, and my card was charged straight away. They are saying that stock will be in 7th April, their latest update (via twitter) said "There are no UK Desire's available".

how they can charge your card and the shipment is not ready? this shouldnt be the way right?
and clove still say they will get theirs 7th of April (in the website)

I'm still waiting to hear from clove too, though their emails seem to go into my junk mail...

I made the mistake of pre-ordering a second Desire, thinking that my original order was going to be delayed longer than the rest (12th. April rather than 7th) and this order has also been charged to my card ready for delivery tomorrow. In case anyone's interested, it's Handtec who are also getting them in tomorrow, so presumably Clove et al. will be the same. I will be going with my PrePayMania order.

Unfortunately, this is quite common and not illegal. Many companies use Google Checkout or Paypal and they are always charged immediately. If you pay direct by credit card, it is worth checking on the website or with the company whether they only charge the card when stock is in. HTCDirect only charge on despatch, just as an example.

I asked Clove to charge it to my card ASAP (due to the favorable exchange rate) but that was last week. When I read that some had already shipped, I thought maybe mine was on its way.

Ah, I thought it was specific to UK but I was charged by Handtec immediatly. I payed with my credit card. Do you think I should ask them why they charged before having the product in stock ?
Thanks

GNex Accessories in store in Canada?

Has anyone been able to locate any Galaxy Nexus accessories in store? I've only found 1 case in 3 colors but I'm looking for the docks. They're available on Bell.ca but I want to pick one up instore.

Hate to bump myself, but I just got an email from Bell saying that my order has been delayed until the third week of January.. unacceptable wait, so I cancelled. Now I'm looking to buy these docks somewhere, anywhere. Online or instore.

everyone, including myself, wants a dock. they are no where to be found.

was your phone bumped back to January or just the Dock?

I was pretty discouraged initially in having to spend $85+ tax for the car dock.. Now I don't care, I just want it.

Release of SW2 in US?

According to Sony, it's not officially released in US yet. So where do you guys buying it from? I see it's being sold on Amazon (US) but is that an official Sony US retailer? Others mention eBay and someone mentioned a store in the mall (DC I think?), etc. I understand Amazon merchants could be from UK or in general outside of US, the same with ebay. So, are there any official US stores that sell it? And for those who bought it in US, where you able to contact Sony support (in US) to answer your questions?

Yes mine came from a company in NY called TECH1 and it came in official Sony packaging and everything.....definitely an official watch. The US customer service has been able to help me with a few questions on the watch.....I love it

Anyone know where this one is from? Link

Newegg
Amazon listed as 2-4 weeks and the other companies listed on Amazon are not Authorized Dealers. I checked. So I found it on Newegg. They were in stocked and shipped next day. Love the watch but I wish there were more apps. Where's the weather app and no watch faces.

I bought mine on eBay from a place in Texas and they shipped it out the day it released. I've had it since last Friday afternoon and I love it.

They're listing it for $999.00 for some reason, but I bought mine for $189.00 USD.

Hi guys, if I buy the watch from Amazon.co.uk with metal strap, can I get support from Sony USA under warranty terms? Does Sony have international warranty for their products? Thanks!

newegg all the way. originally ordered from mobile fun, but after they backordered it for two weeks despite them having it listed as in stock and ready to ship, i cancelled and called newegg. the girl said they had about 76 in stock so i ordered it from them. 199 +25 for overnight shipping. ordered it friday and got it on monday.. ive had the watch for about week and i love it, even though the amount of apps is pretty depressing. give me a music widget and a battery percentage icon, and ill be good for a while. :good:

Sony.com has both models in stock now for $199.99/$219.99. I just placed my order. There appears to be a glitch right now that allows you to get the 3 year replacement/accidental damage plan for free! Add the watch to the cart, but do not select a warranty plan. Edit the warranty plan within the card and for some reason the 3-year plan is $0. I used Chrome, if that matters....

MobileFun is bad news. I ordered from them and wasn't even given a confirmation email. Very poor communication and their US phone number just rings. I had to get my credit card company involved to cancel my order. They said it was in stock when I ordered (Oct 15th) and wouldn't give me any further information on shipment or backorder status.

Nokia DT-900 wireless charger $5 or less today! (US Only)

Nokia Wireless Charger on sale today at ATT stores - $5. If you get 3+ its 25% off further
I just picked up 4 of these for $16 with local store pickup.
If you're in the market for a wireless charger, this is a STEAL! Run, don't even think about it. Pretty sure these will be all gone soon.
Online is already sold out. So you'll need to enter your zip code and see if any local ATT stores have them in stock.
Nice review of the charger here:

All out online for me and not available anywhere in Miami for pick up ?

Sold out everywhere around me as well. That's upsetting. Android Central tweeted about this yesterday/today and I normally read all my tweets and I somehow missed it. Would have ordered a couple.

Got excited because my local store had them "in stock" ordered 3, drove down, someone else picked up the last one right before I got there. Everywhere around me is now out of stock. Bummer.

Yeah, when I checked online for local inventory, almost 10 stores all had them in stock. I ordered 4 but when I went to pick up they only had 3 in stock. Then when I got back to my office, everyone couldn't believe how cheap I got them for and wanted to order some too. So when we looked online for local pickup, ALL 10 stores were sold out. That was in a 2 hour timeframe.

Are they clearance'ing these out or something?
I bought 3 back when I got my N5. Great charger. I use one at work, sent one to a friend, and still have one in a box at home.

Back in stock. I just hit the link and saw these were still available.

Tried to buy 4 to ship to in laws in NJ (I'm in Montreal). Unfortunately the credit card portion screwed me, asking for American billing addy, so it doesn't pass credit card authentication. Damn it.

White ones are back in stock.

Thanks, got 2 white ones... these are good and for $5 it's a steal.

I must be getting unlucky. I have had the page open for the last few days since the original sale and every time I refresh it's still sold out.

White's are back in stock again. Just bought 8...lol

No problem! I wonder how long they're going to sell them this cheap for.

Thanks much, I was totally bummed when I missed the original sale. Still bummed that I missed out on the fatboy chargers (would've preferred that) but this is a good secondary option. I can always make the pillow myself

Wouldn't mind knowing myself, took a punt on the LG Watch R at the weekend, which is nice but would prefer the Zen. I have it preordered at Expansys at the moment, got in while they were taking orders rather than just the register interest page they have up now.

I had some interest in LG G Watch R because of the circular display but I think the watch is a bit too chunky. Will have a look at expansys

I'm currently using the LG Watch R and had the same thoughts as you, but it's not as bad as I imagined it would be. However I still have my preorder with Expansys and will decide on which one I want to keep once it arrives. Hopefully soon!

Hi all,
I pre ordered mine here: http://www.expansys.fr/asus-zenwatch-eu-265396/
Please note I'm from France.

Anyone got any news with UK release? Hopefully comes before Christmas so I can get myself a Christmas present

Noticed this morning that Simply Electronics list this on their site for £184.95. Also that they've got 5 in stock and make no mention of it being imported. Considering a UK launch date or price hasn't been announced (that I know of) I'd be very sceptical.
UPDATE: A glance at some Google Shopping reviews suggests they might not be on the level.

they are based in HK and have some very dodgy reviews - actually rang them this morning asking whether it is uk stock and this wasn't clearly answered. I then asked about customs duty and they just said its an all inclusive price - bollox. Expect duty and RM charges on top....
I actually remember I nearly bought a camera off this lot a couple of years back but they aren't exactly truthful about location of item or taxes etc - means you'll pay customs and it'll be regarded as a grey import without warranty.
I think its sad that ASUS are dragging their feet on this. I've looked at big daddy in the US but again with their $40 fee and customs, its getting expensive!
Need an american friend to buy and send as a gift!

Anyone heard anything more on the UK release?

Avoid Simply B'S they are HK based

I decided to try se after I discussed at length where the watch was coming from (uk or abroad) , the warranty, etc. I was told it's coming from the UK. Has a UK se warranty. Ordered last week and the amount of bull I've been fed since is unreal. Been told due to amount of orders they should be able to post it by mid December! Even though they originally said 10 days..... I queried why it should even take 10 days?! They are full of sh.....
If and when it arrives, if it's not a UK warranty, I will charge it back through my credit card as I will have been mis sold the item according to trading standards. Mmm I will then follow up with trading standards and ensure they are put out of business based on their mis-sellibg practices... At least in the uk/as a UK seller.
Anyway, still no UK date grrr

Don't order from Simply Electronics. The product they have is not certified anywhere and is dodgy. They quote low prices to draw people in and you very stung after. I got taken in by the cheap price if a macbook air but it wasn't European certified or certified by America FFC. They're customer services is rubbish and they don't reply and when they do they try to get you to keep the product at a reduced cost. I had to complain through PayPal and eventually got all my money back. Lesson learnt. They are based in HK but have warehouses in UK and Europe. If you ever do order then be wary as they're not that easy in returning and will try to get away with charges to deduct from the amount you paid on receipt of a return. I would suggest you all keep away like you would with the plague!! All the reviews online are rubbish and are made up to make them look good.

Expansys have changed from a "keep me notified" page to a pre-order page. I don't know whether that's due to a site relaunch (can't recall whether I've seen that design before), or whether it's changing.
BTW, for a while now, I haven't seen Simply listed on the Google Shopping page when searching for the Zenwatch.

I pre ordered back in October but nothing since then obviously. Dunno if I should pre order again! Had a price when I first did it. £159.98 is the price that was given.
Just looked on simply be and it's on their site for pre order just under £200 - site has changed a lot since I made that horrible mistake of ordering from them a while ago.

I have a zenwatch in my possession in the UK. It was ordered from the US via Big Apple Buddy. I ordered it on Friday 5th December at around 2100, paid by PayPal and had it - with shipping & tracking information and regular updates - delivered by FedEx by 1030 on Monday 8th December.
The total cost was around $285, including service charges, but felt this was still pretty good value in the realm of early adoption, given the interminable wait for the damn thing to reach the UK.
I can vouch for the fact that Big Apple Buddy are entirely safe and reputable.
And the watch? Well worth it, especially with 5.01 sideloaded.

I looked at them^ but they came back much more expensive than this!
I've just ordered a Gear VR from Samsung US using .comGateway - very reasonable $20 plus postage.
