What about our April 7th phones??? Post Any news here

Any updates on stocks arriving to UK Retails stores on april 7th???
i pre-ordered mine from handtec long ago..
Cant wait....
Anyone?

Clove - 7th April HTC Desire
Hmm, I think I've been charged for mine on Thursday however Clove haven't sent me an email confirming this. For some reason my net banking only shows transactions up to the 1st. Perhaps something to do with Banking Holidays?
Anyways, this is from http://www.clove.co.uk/news.aspx
Our Easter Opening Hours are as follows:
Friday 2nd April - Closed
Saturday 3rd April - Closed
Friday 4th April - Closed
Monday 5th April - Closed

Please be aware that we will not be answering emails during this period. You are welcome to send an enquiry, but we will not be available to respond until Tuesday morning when we open again. We appreciate this is frustrating for outstanding orders for new device releases and we will do our best to have orders with customers as soon as possible. The situation for the following devices is as follows:
HTC Desire - first stock due 7 April - This is the first batch of reseller stock that will be released. If you have confirmed your pre-order for the Desire, please do not email us with questions unless it is essential. We will keep you updated with any information as soon as we have it. At the moment we expect orders to start shipping on April 7th.

As of today, Handtec is still saying the 7th is the expected ship date. I know it's hard, but it's only 24-48 hours away. Just do what I have been doing...watch the reviews & think "Man! The phone I have right now sucks!"

Who did you order from?

I ordered it from Handtec , and I'm not from UK , I'm living in Bulgaria and I'm very surprised because FedEx gave me an estimated delivery date - 08.04.2010

Good to hear. Looks like the 7th is a definite date then

Im due to receive mine on Thursday I think, shipping out from devicewire. Will call them today to check.

I ordered mine from Clove a couple of weeks ago. Haven't heard anything recently, but when I sent them the name/address verification email they said
We look forward to dispatching your HTC Desire when they are released (at the moment we do expect to fulfill all orders) and you will receive your tracking number on the day your order ships.

so am hoping to receive an email about that tomorrow. Will post here if I get anything.

I'm hoping you're not going to be disappointed and I do not know how the delay will have affected Clove's supplies but my understanding was that Clove's first batch was sold out on pre-orders some weeks ago. Certainly this was the case before the launch was delayed. A mate of mine ordered his Desire from Clove last week and is not expecting his for another week or so. Who knows, maybe the delay will mean that Clove's first and second batches will have been amalgamated?

@JTHM
I dunno about that... I ordered mine on March 19th so hopefully that would've gotten me in with the first batch of orders (I'd be very surprised if that wasn't the case). The email I quoted was dated March 30th so up to then they seemed to be able to handle all the pre-orders.
As regards how the delay hit them, all I know is that there's a sign on the Desire page on their site saying that the 'expect' stock by the 7th, I suppose they'll start shipping as soon as they've got them in stock.

I think they were originally but that was before the delay. I recieved an email since the delay saying:
Stock should be here on the 7th/8th We expect over a 1000 units

They also said mine would ship from the first delivery. Before they were delayed, mine was going to be in the second shipment which was originally due 2nd April.

Why didnt i get that
last email they sent me was
"Thank you for your co-operation in this matter, your security details have now been processed and the order will now be dispatched upon your chosen delivery option."
that was on the end of last month.. i had payment confirmation issues, but my order was on the 20th
from handtec too....
i hope i get a delivery notification soon

Got my email notification from F*D*X about my shipment from Handtec also
Funny thing is, it says it should be delivered on the 8th...I wish. Even if it left tomorrow, I would still have to mess with with F*D*X and Customs. Safe to say, I won't be receiving my new toy until Saturday or Monday of next week

A few minutes ago, I was in Live-Chat with Handtec and they told me that stock still hasn't arrived until now.

So did I, that's why I cancelled... I'm going on a trip tomorrow evening for a week so i'll buy it in a local store.

I just talked to Handtec live chat and got this info:
Customer Services (811): Unfortunately delivery for the HTC is tomorrow
Customer Services (811): we will ship some tomorrow and Thursday
But who knows who has the correct info.

Not Delayed Afterall :)

Apparently Amazon started the rumour by changing it date to December 2nd. Everyone else just jumped on.
Good news, expect to get mine Friday then

Amazon just doesn't get it right these days. Their Kindle Fire got weak reviews as well, so they ended up shipping the devices early in fear of pre-order cancellations. While Nexus is not their product, it is apparent that they just did not do any market research when getting this phone listed as they would have otherwise selected a more reliable supplier.

Well regardless of this new info, I chatted with someone from Negri a bit ago
Below is the conversation-

Good, thank you. We are expecting to have these units in earlly next week.

There release date is the 17th and should arrive a couple days after. We are expecting them by early next week.

Not sure what the Kindle Fire and this release being tangled up have anything to do with one another. They obviously just changed the date to be conservative on the pre-order ship date because they had no other confirmation from Samsung on the matter of when they'd receive shipments. Their supplier is Samsung, they don't really have a choice there.

Well they have to wait for it to be released on the 17th, import them from the UK, then re-send them to individuals in the USA/other countries. So of course there will be a delay.

What has been missing from Samsung all along (and what EVERY article I have seen that either says it is or isn't delayed has COMPLETELY missed) is whether Samsung will be shipping it out to all their tier 1 partners in time for them to launch it on the 17th.
Basically, there's been no real doubt (apart from an odd blog post by phones4u) that they were always going to get it on the 17th. What muddied the waters was Amazon saying it will be later and pretty much everyone assuming that if Amazon cant get it on time then no one can. But Amazon aren't the only ones to say delivery won't be until some time after the 17th... Negri put out a statement today, Clove have sent emails out, Handtec put back their date... all these companies would have done this presumably for a very good reason. They are in the business of making money, not pi$$ing off customers which is what these setbacks are prone to do.
What has become clear recently (and only recently) is that O2 and Three have confidently said they will be selling it on the 17th.
So... Contract providers (Phones4U and at least 2 mobile networks) are likely to be selling it on the official launch date meaning Samsung would have always been correct in stating "it will launch in the UK on the 17th" but clearly there are other big players like Amazon and Handtec that sell non-contract handsets that don't seem to be able to launch it on the same day.
It is this glaring difference that Samsung never has and still hasn't cleared up.
I hope I'm wrong but it looks like contract providers have been given priority over sim-free providers hence, YES it will launch on its official launch date BUT, SIM Free handsets from stockists that only sell SIM free will be DELAYED.

Handtec have their shipment!

From handtec's GNex blog:
http://www.handtec.co.uk/blog/2011/11/samsung-galaxy-nexus-shipping-update/
"Good news! Stock is arriving into our warehouse later tonight. With the sheer amount of backorders we hope to clear all orders by Wednesday 23rd November. We have a large amount of stock arriving and any new orders should be shipped on the 23rd and 24th of November. Tracking will be sent via email upon dispatch."

Never ordered a phone online before so I was just wondering if Handtec is a trustworthy site?

Safe as Amazon mate

Have they mentioned anything about checking for the SAV before dispatch?

No Saturday delivery..its a higher premium service. Of course, you can call and upgrade for it I suppose.

Just placed an order on Handtecs website. Assuming they finish dispatching all preorders on 22nd and 23rd, hopefully mine ships on the 24th. And since Thanksgiving has passed here in Canada, i hope to receive it by Tuesday or Wednesday next week Total is 440gbp with 2-4day Fedex shipping.
Yes i know the GN will be released here in Canada on Dec8 but im going away on a holiday trip on the 7th and want this shiny new gadget on my hands before the trip

UK Pre Order-Waiting Room

So I ordered through Mobile phones direct, expected delivery is the 8th, contacted them today and they are saying they will begin shipping on the 7th. This is no use to me and I won't be getting mine on Friday as I live in the northern parts of Scotland. However it is an indication that others Such as 02 & Vodafone will begin on the 7th.
Use this thread to provide carrier updates as to when you get your notifications of shipping through.

I've preordered through Three and have Friday 8th as the delivery date.

Carphone Warehouse O2 upgrade here, Friday 8th delivery promised.
I've also ordered a snapdragon from abroad which will get here early next week.
I'll do some cpu/battery benchmarks and probably return the Exynos

Had my call from Samsung store earlier to book my collection time slot for Friday.
S10+ Ceramic Black 8/512 ready and waiting ?

I ordered mine for use in the US from Clove UK - an awesome retailier I have used to buy virtually every Samsung Phone since the S8 Plus. Good Prices - fast shipping (considering it is overseas) and awesome support. Whether they ship on the 7th or 8th, I won't get it until Monday because it is overseas - but it will be worth the wait.

Hey, which model did you order?. I'm looking to get the Exynos version as well, usually get it from Ebay, but I've heard of Clove as well. Looking to get the Black 1Tb, but its not available.

Samsung UK ships on 7th and delivers the day after, nobody got their units in the UK yet.

Question Have you received your phone yet?

Has anyone received their phone from OP yet? I paid for the 2 day shipping on the 23rd, and I still haven't gotten my phone. I checked the tracking, and it just flew in the opposite direction across the country before it's supposed to come back to me.

From France, I've only reserved the phone by paying a 10% advance payment. The rest will be payable between Monday and Wednesday and then I will know about the delivery date

Made it to my FedEx facilities and was supposed to be delivered Friday yesterday and never did. Now saying pending. I have an bad feeling about this.

Yes, here in the US I pre ordered on launch day, and FedEx surprisingly came thru and delivered Friday as scheduled.
Edit: Any questions feel free to ask or pm!

Not here, so far nobody can tell where it is.

Mine shipped from New Jersey, to Tennessee just to have to come back north past New Jersey again to Rhode Island. I'm 3 states north from where it originated

My tracking says:
Estimated delivery date:
Monday, March 29, 2021 by end of day
The delivery date may be updated when FedEx receives the package.

lmao in europe they don't start shipping until march 31

I got mine in Friday. I'm pretty sure all of the phones in the us are going to originate in linden NJ and head to Memphis TN. Memphis is a major fedex hub so they all get sorted there first and then go back out.

Mine should be here Monday. Currently in Memphis, TN (shipped from New Jersey).

Mine is due to arrive on Tuesday, FedEx picked up today.

When I preorder mine, the website said it would be sent out on the 25th. I paid the two day shipping, but my phone was not sent until the 26th. If you look at the Shipment Facts on the Fedex tracking site it says:
SPECIAL HANDLING SECTION​Deliver Weekday
So even though, the package could have been delivered on Saturday to meet the two day shipping, the special handling says tough luck, weekdays only. I received my wireless charger on Friday, along with my case from Amazon though. I am excited to get it, but I'll wait until Monday.

My order just says "Order Outbound"
Guess paying the 10 extra bucks for shipping did absolutely nothing...
Not in a hurry anyway but not impressed with the customer experience. Same story with the 5 other phone I ordered from OnePlus over the years...

I have my stellar black since yesterday. So far it's nice. There is still a problem when scrolling through the Google feed and some social media apps.

same game with Deutsche Telekom. They advertised black color, announced one green, sent it out Friday plus shipping costs for the only option with cash on delivery , it 'arrived' Saturday but DHL put a notification in the mailbox as they are not allowed to accept cash these days....
gladly I live in an area with friendly delivery guys and girls, so after some successful searching for the one transporter containing my package.
So, after a day with it I'll decide to keep it. Next de google, de bloat and finally routing it. To open the bootloader incl. fastboot was the first thing I did, as this steps wipe tge device as we know well.
