Desire shipments delayed until April 7th

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!

Can we expect Orange release today (2nd)?

I've read a few reports suggesting that Orange will be making the desire available from today (Fri 2nd Apr) through its stores and possibly online. Think techradar confirmed this in a recent article.
Can anyone shed any more light on the chances of a release today?!

Go to bed.... wake up and see!

I would be suprised if they did as 4 days ago the guy at orange said he had no clue when it is out.

I rang Orange retentions at 09:01 this morning. No HTC Desire, no release date, not likely to be released later today. Just goes to show you can't always believe what you read on t'internet!
What they did say is that they feed back demand to the powers that be on a daily basis so the more people who ring up and ask for a Desire, the faster it will be released. Apparently they are waiting until their stock of HTC Hero and some other handsets is used up (around 3-4 days worth) before launching the Desire but will launch it earlier if they sense they are losing out to other networks.
If anyone hear different, let us know!
Ian A.

Well I'm gonna head off to Vodafone once Devicewire get them in - they've got a good £25/month deal with 600 mins +texts +'unlimited' internet. I have no real faith in Orange anymore unless retentions offer me a really good deal (and based on what I had to do 18 months ago, that is as likely as me playing for the Arsenal at the Nou Camp on Tuesday - although given our injuries... )
Oh and one more thing that will definitely delay it with Orange - last night the released the Xperia X10 - they'll want to shift them first before the HTC Desire. I originally wanted that but now the reviews haven't been that favourable - no multi-touch (ever!!!!), Android 1.6 with a promise to go to 2.1 (presumably when everyone has gone to 3.0) - although their mediascape, timescape interfaces do work well. Hardware wise it could've been the ultimate handset - 8MP camera, 4 inch hi-def screen etc. yet only being a smidgeon bigger than an iPhone. Yet SE screw up again by releasing a handset with a version of software that is 6 months old. And given their current record of not fully supporting their handsets when they're out (extrememly slow updates, with bugs not being ironed out) I think I'll be giving that one a miss...

Are they having a laugh? They'll releease it earlier if they sense they are losing out to other networks? OK, T-Mobile had first the exclusive to get it out first, but Vodafone have it and even bloody Virgin Media have it. Losing out to other networks is a masterpiece of understatement if VM have the thing and the supposed "best network of 2009" don't yet!

I doubt they will wait for them to get rid of Xerpia X10 as its the Desire's alternative option so people who dont like HTC and are Sony fans will go for that while others will want Desire.

Ordinarily that would be true but this is Orange we're talking about here!!!
Besides I believe they are the first to be selling the X10 so whilst they have that advantage they're gonna push that to the full. If you have a choice between that and the Desire then it fragments their sales for the X10. And let us not forget there is an outside chance of them not even stocking it all!
With the X1 they were constantly saying it was coming etc. and in the end they never officially released it (even though cpw and others were selling it on Orange plans). The X10 was listed as a coming soon phone for the last month or so, and yet the HTC Desire isn't even listed as coming soon.
It wouldn't surprise me in the slightest if it never came out on Orange (esp. if they can't get their crapware onto it)...

True, I hope that dont happen tho otherwise I will have to wait till July before changing to another network as upgrade can be done early but I cant afford to buy the rest of my contract and then get a new one.

Hehe - good news for you guys but:
http://shop.orange.co.uk/mobile-pho...nvBLDTszxGDLTK1j4vwH6JG!1816178946!-514848741
Still nothing for us! For the record I reckon it will come out but Lord knows when they will announce it. The Orange PR guy said 'early April, with the black edition late April'.
http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/29/htc-desire-black-edition-confirmed-coming-to-orange-uk-in-late/
When you consider that, it is quite bizarre that officially they don't even list it as coming soon...

Sometimes, Orange guys are not very well informed
I went in a shop two days ago (Desire already were on Orange website) and the man tell me he never heard speaking about the HTC Desire... We have so good sellers in our country

Well, once again I have spoken to Orqange and the best answer they could come out with was "within the next two weeks".
FFS it's typical Orange. Always the first to announce and the last to get!
I have, and I quote, been promised that "We'll send you a text message as soon as they have the handset available, so that you can arrange to obtain the phone".
Place your bets now on whether I'll actually get a text or not...

Yeah Orange are very bad at getting new phones in, I had this issue with the Nokia N78 and they never ended up getting it. Although that time, they had not announced they will have it while they did with Desire and its on the French website so in that way it must mean it WILL come but when is the question. They got till 14th as thats when I can upgrade ha ha but o2 not getting it till 19th and 3 till 20th so Orange got till then to be same time as others.

Have any of you guys considered making the switch to T-mobile seeing as how in a few months they will both be the same 1 network anyway?

I am - but the department that handles issuing the PAC codes aren't open today. Will be on the phone from 09:00 tomorrow to get it and then will order the T-Mobile package (£30/month 18 months) off mobiles.co.uk.
Apparently the phone isn't even in their reviews list and the bloke on the phone wasn't even sure they would be getting it!!!!
Bet i get a different story tomorrow when I finally get my PAC code....

If you go through T-Mobile themselves you'll get a much better deal, the are also much more reliable than mobiles.co.uk seem to be and if the phone breaks you have the added security that you can just take it back into a store for repair instead of bothering with mailing it off etc.
If you haggle on the phone you can get the prices down, I got from this:
Handset cost : £60
600 Minutes
500 Texts
Flexible Booster
3GB Internet
£25 P/M
To:
Handset Cost: Free
600 Mins
Unlimited Texts (the flexible booster)
3GB Internet
£25 P/M
Try these excuses:
- I just phoned up and was told the phone was £x (this is what I did, I was genuine but it worked, might have to phone twice as they have it on record I assume when you phoned up)
- x.com is doing a better deal
- Vodafone is doing a better deal.

Ah OK, thanks for the advice - I was assuming a lot of the good deals were for current customers - is your deal 18 months? I don't wish to be tied in to a two year contract...

No, Mine is 24 months but I see no reason why you wouldn't be able to do the same thing with a 18 month contract.
The 18 month equivalent of my plan is £30 a month.

I would change but like I said in previous post, I cant afford the £80 to finish off my contract till July and then another £25 a month from April so would cost me extra £80 to change over early and no point in waiting for July as by that time a new fone would be out.

Galaxy Nexus release delayed everywhere!

Hopes for 17th of November looks very grim and earlier than 17th release is even more unlikely now. Amazon just updated their release date to December 2.
www.amazon.co.uk/Samsung-Galaxy-Nexus-16GB-Smartphone/dp/B005XYU45E/

I contacted Amazon.co.uk customer support and I was told that the product, not just one batch, is indeed delayed.
Here is the relevant part of their reply:
I'm sorry for the unexpected delay of your order. I have researched the availability of "Samsung I9250 Galaxy Nexus 16GB Sim Free Smart Phone" and learned that its release has been delayed until December 02, 2011. As soon as the item has been released, we'll be able to dispatch it to you.

Oh God ... NO! ... Please don't do this Please don't delay ... I am a good boy this year and promised to be much better.

I spoke to a rep at Negri electronics and they said they are expecting it the 16-19th.. this was yesterday.. damm im so pissed if this is true

*sobs, gently*
I spoke to a rep at Handtec just now who said they were now expecting stock week commencing the 21st. They said that Samsung and the distributor had decided to delay the product.
The 17th is a day before my birthday, so i was really hoping for a nice, shiny early birthday present to myself.
Oh well.

I wrote another e-mail to Amazon, since I was not really satisfied with their previous response regarding the reasons for the delay. I'll try to find out as much as possible from their customer support.

1st December for the 16GB on expansys and pre-order for the 32GB...

The whole thing is a bit of a mess...
Samsung sent a press release on the 4th confirming release on the 17th.
Handtec then say, a matter of hours after the press release, that Samsung have pushed it back to w/c 21st.
Why send out a press release, then change the date a couple of hours later

cause this possibly be because all first batches have been filled.. ?

hardly. Looking at the interest and number of postings in the various Android Forums, the Galaxy Nexus is more of an underdog that an "uberphone" that appeals to the masses. And it would take "masses" for the GNexus to be sold out before launch.
Unless the "first batch" was 1000-2500 units or so. That would be my guess on pre-orders to date for Europe given what I have seen/read on the forums/twitter etc etc.

I preordered it the moment news appeared on my RSS feed that it can be preordered from Amazon.co.uk, so I would definitely be on the first batch. But their customer support said that the product has been delayed and it has nothing to do with batches.
I did send a follow-up e-mail though, asking for more specific information about the reasons for delay. Unlikely that I will get anything revealing due to possibly negative press though.

i sent @samsungmobileus and @samsungtweets a tweet asking if it has been pushed back.. fingers crossed for confirmation.. you guys do the same !

Google should put out a statement How many times have they done this.

User named 'Andrew Bates' just commented in Amazon.co.uk that he called Amazon and was told that 17 November is still the dispatch date for his order and that 2nd of December will be the re-stock date. So this might be a batch issue. Don't take it for granted though, let's wait some more for additional replies and information, because the stock date seems to be changing all around now and this might be just Amazon trying to avoid large number of canceled preorders.
I'll let you know once I find out something more.

Well, Amazon just debunked the theory of batches and said that: Unfortunately our suppliers have delayed release of the product: Samsung I9250 Galaxy Nexus 16GB Sim Free Smart Phone to us.
So the product is, in fact, in delay. At least in Amazon.

Bummer!
Hope it's not a sign of a manufacturing glitch.
Hopefully they'll come out ahead of the newest estimates. It's really impossible to know until the phones start hitting the retailers, though.

If the Nexus really is delayed, then this certainly won't be good for sales. I plan to buy a Nexus and sell my GS2, but if it keeps getting pushed back there'll literally be only 2 months between being able to buy the Nexus and then the GS3 being announced; undoubtedly with far greater specifications.
They need to get this out soon.

This is painful to say the least
On the launch event it was confirmed as early November release, now I dont know about you but I dont consider 17th November early November at all, and now they are saying December??
This whole thing is starting to look like a mess and I will be cancelling my order [still scheduled for dispatch with amazon on the 17th] and going out in the real world to find one if my Galaxy Nexus hasn't been dispatched before the 17th for delivery on the 17th

Meanwhile, the Samsung UK twitter linked a preorder page on Facebook just two hours ago, while not mentioning anything about delays. Hilarious as ****. And by "hilarious" I mean sad.

I'm happen to be in London at Nov. 17 and wonder what stores could have the gnexus in stock on that day. Carphone warehouse @ Oxford Street perhaps?

Im guessing that all phones4u store should have it in stock on release day, my local store in Great Yarmouth said they will have it in stock on 17th. Also maybe o2 stores since they have stated it will be available on pay monthly and PAYG plans on release. Havent heard anything about Carphone Warehouse stores stocking it.
If you give phones4u a call on 0800 072 5855 they should be able to tell you which stores will be stocking it on that day or put you in touch with them directly.

I didn't submit for the the fit but I did submit for the the 256 SD Card on the morning of August 20th and received an email from Samsung on the 23rd of August stating that my 2 SD Cards were approved. That's when my status also changed on the promo website to "Congratulations, Your submission has been approved and your gift has been processed and is currently in route". However, I've yet to receive both SD Cards and my status is still the same as it was on the 23rd, without any tracking provided yet. I called today and asked WTF was up with me getting passed over by people who had submitted much later than me and have already received their gifts. I keep getting BS answers and no help from Samsung whatsoever. They just keep telling me to wait patiently, sounds great! I mean isn't this supposed to be a first come first serve, limited supply promotion? I told them the longer I wait and keep getting passed up, the more likely I'm going to miss out and they just told me to wait longer. Gave up trying to get a supervisor on the phone after asking 3 times and they kept telling me that their supervisor would have the same answers and that they can't contact the promotions department in order to see where the hell my 2 SD Cards are.

@Justinphxaz okay thanks a lot for that this same exact stuff they told you is the same exact stuff I told them a lot of us over in the other Forum have been constantly calling and badgering and trying to put something together. We've been sending emails and also going on their Twitter page try the Twitter reps as well

Dang and still no luck huh? I've even heard some people submit for one SD Card getting 2 of them, thanks Samsung! That's probably where most of the gifts are and why they're supposedly trying to refresh their wear house. That's what they told me anyways. I asked if their wear house is out of stock, how have people been receiving the gifts then almost every day now for the past two weeks now (that I've seen and or heard of from people on a few different forums) and they had no answer for me, just that they understand I'm frustrated and to please wait longer. Some grade A BS. Not the way to do a promo. Should be first come first serve and don't send out extra gifts, send out the right amount so we all get them in a timely manner. So frustrating.

@playya, does your status still say "Your submission has been approved and your gift has been processed and is currently in route"? Mines been like that since the 23rd. I asked if it's in route, why is it taking so long to show up? Still no answer for that either, just to please wait longer. Basically a big FU to me, nobody there is willing to actually see where my order is.

That's some BS, I've seen so many that submitted on dates like the 22nd and 26th and received their gifts by dates like September 1st or the 3rd. To make it even worse alot of those who've received it want to sell it and not keep it. I'm all for making some money, that's cool. Just sucks they got it before us, we submitted much earlier and someone like me who actually wants to keep the SD Cards, I've got plenty to store on them. They could still sell those cards at a later date, but some how they were allowed to bypass those who submitted earlier than them. Kinda F'd up if you ask me. Samsung's promo team seems like some incompetent D Bags. How hard is it to go with a first come first serve promo that's quantity limited? Hmmmm I'll send out this person's SD Card who submitted on the 25th instead of this one who submitted on the 19th! Seems legit!

Shoot I thought I was one of the very last people to not receive their gifts. Seemed like everyone got theirs who is with Verizon.

I submitted two and my second one came first that's how I found out about the bs

They did say up to 12 weeks, so they are not in any fault really. Why did later submissions get sent out first though is messed up.

Yeah see I'd have no problem waiting....14 weeks if I had to, what's f**ked up is that it's supposed to be first come first serve. They just let people who submitted much later to jump to the front of the line. When it's limited supply you're dealing with it's super frustrating that people submitting on the 27th of August were sent their gifts already. So if Samsung is going to send gifts, they should be sent out in order of first in, first out. It's like they decided last in, first out was a better way of handling a limited supply promo, which sucks. Hope I don't get an email in 3 or 4 weeks stating that the promo supply is tapped out. I specifically pre ordered for the gifts and paid off my phones to be eligible to upgrade early to pre order these damn gifts! Purposely submitted info early on the 20th (email approval on the 23rd) because I was told it was first come first serve. Looks like I would have been better off submitting my info on August 28th or something, I'd probably have my SD Cards by now, I don't even have tracking info or a label created.

If it says approved you shouldn't have to worry as your now guaranteed it. If you were still awaiting approval then they could say there is no more.

Yeah, it's reassuring, it just makes me feel like something is going on where I'm going to get screwed somehow. It just doesn't make a lot of sense to me that people who've been approved well after me are receiving it well before me. I've had issues with promos before where I've found it's much better being pro active along the way (calling in and see what the status is) than waiting till the end and trying to see what's going on. It's worrisome because I've heard of a few people receiving more SD Cards than what they submitted for. Who knows how many it has happened with, I'd be much more at ease if at least my gifts had a shipping label made, that way I know I've got 2 physically reserved and at some point will ship.

They also said first come first serve basis. here is an excerpt of page 4 paragraph 2 of their T&C
Gifts are available for a limited time, while supplies last, on a first-come, first-served basis. Gifts may take up to 12 weeks to be mailed to Participants verification of Offer Claim Form/receipt and compliance with these Terms and Conditions.

Sounds great in concept but their terms also say first come first serve. They were first to break the T&C so no telling what else they could break

Is it just the fit on tmo that's having in issue getting out or in general? I put mine in on the 19th late mornin/early afternoon and got my fit the following week I think it was.

I'm on Verizon and ordered my fit a day or two after my phone came on the 19th, the fit showed a shipping label generated for a week before it was handed off to FedEx and arrived a couple days later. On August 26th, I put in orders for two more Fit 2's from two other phones. A few days later they were both 'Approved ...' and nothing since. When I called last week and got the Philippine call center they told me there was a delay getting the devices [Fit 2's] to their third party vendor that handles the promo fulfillment. I've seen no updates on the Fit 2's since.
Verizon still doesn't have any non flaming phones available for replacements.
