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
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!
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.

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.

Mine is preordered
I can't pre order.. Apparently my account cannot shop online.. will call them up in the morning and find out what's happening.
Umm, what's up with this $18 "upgrade" fee ****? Argh.
Yeah, so nice how the total comes out to $302.80.
Currently is telling me I won't get it until Oct 6th, but I hope that's wrong.
I hate MiRs.
Just pre-ordered mine. Also says that I'll get it on the sixth. Hopefully it's wrong so I can sport a G2 outside the T-Mo outlet at the mall on the 5th... bwuahaha.

Delivery information
Your T-Mobile G2 will be delivered to your shipping address on October 6, 2010
Is T-Mobile allowing customers to upgrade to a G2, even if they're currently under contract and not otherwise eligible for an upgrade at the low price?
Sent from my SGH-T959 using Tapatalk
Nope, did not pre-order. For several reasons:
Too expensive: It's $249 up front, then a $50 rebate
The rebate is a card. Meaning it's one of those pre-paid Visa cards, which means I can only use it for buying stuff, and not for paying off the credit card.
Only one pre-order per account...I have two lines that are both eligible for upgrades, and I want a G2 for each line. Nope, only one pre-order.
Even if I could pre-order two, with the rebate crap, and upgrade fees, etc., that would mean nearly $600 up front.
It'll only be a week or two after launch that Amazon, Wirefly, etc. is selling it for $99. It's total suckage to have to wait, but if it means saving $300ish, then it's worth it.
Just ordered mine.......it is going to seem like FOREVER for this to get here!!
I think I'm going to wait and try it out in the store first. I was very disappointed with how quiet/crackly the Nexus One's speaker phone was.
Plus, I want to read a few reviews too.
I just ordered mine a couple of hours ago, should be here within a couple of days. We have the espresso right now and that phone is actually not a bad phone at all but I'm wanting something a bit beefier and the woman is still using her old g1, so I'm going to get the g2 and she's going to get my old espresso.
I just hope this phone reclaims the throne for android phones again like the g1 did back when it first came out.
I too just pre-ordered, and grandfathered my unlimited loyalty plan in from the g1, but I forgot to download the Rebate Form and now I can't find it. Can someone post it, or a link? Many thanks!
I ordered mine. I am selling my Vibrant for this. I am so tired of the Laggy POS that is the Vibrant. I went from Nexus to the Vibrant and now to the G2. I think I will be more pleased with the HTC device.
On another note, I don't think Wirefly will have it for $99. As an example the Vibrant is $99 from wirefly but the Samsung Epic is $199. The Epic is $250.00 from sprint and you get a $50 mail in rebate, so I would expect this phone to be about the same.

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. .

Give it a week or two then price will drop if you looking to buy it pay as you go, otherwise ebay is the only option. Price wise based on spec is reasonable

I know you want this phone badly, and rightly so it's truly amazing.
But I would wait, the great deals don't start to surface until a week before release. You won't be able to get the phone any earlier than 28th May so just stay strong! :highfive:
