Handtech order status

My order was delayed from March 29th to April 7th, as with anyone else ordering an unlocked model, but I'm sick of waiting, and i thought i heard someone say theirs was shipping, is that true?
My gf stopped thinking it was cute days ago (the fact that I can't think about anything else than my phone), and I'm getting on her nerves..
I paid with google checkout, so I don't know if they update the order status as accurately, or .. idunno.. Anyone else got ANY new info on Handtec Desire orders?
From their website:
Stock Update: Handtec has secured a large quantity for the first batch. Status: Still Available
Stock Update 2: HTC Desire expected 7th April. Affects All UK resellers.
Stock Update 3: Stock is still due on the 7th April and loking likely to be this date - we still have availability on the first batch.

Yes the ship out date is still the 7th. I have been talking to Handtec everyday just to check the ETA. Their answer has been the same for the past week.
So...chillax and tell your gf to enjoy you now because once you get your phone, you will become non-existant

Desire to Scandinavia? When??

just wondering when the htc desire is available in Scandinavia (norway,sweden,denmark)

Monday the 12th here in Denmark, and I think it's the same for Norway/Sweden

Mine has arrived today to Helsinki (Finland). Maybe I got it tomorrow. Bought from Expansys. Local dealers seem to have it in stock as well.

Not sure really, haven't found any online shop worth trusting in Denmark while keeping the price at a minimum.
Elgiganten.dk will have it around 22th april.
Preordered from Clove atm but going to cancel it if i'm able to find something here in Denmark.

it used to be 12th but now htc said 14

I ordered mine here in Sweden and the dates were 7-9th of april but two days ago many of the sites changed their date to 22th of april but they switched back today to 12th (majority of them show this date as their stock date)
>>this might call for a new topic but I'm just gonna post it here,,,some of the warranty plans that came with the phone (for about 500 SEK extra) were completely fraudulent,,,like they would say things like get a new phone if you break it within 1 year and "no questions asked",, but if you actually read the details of the contract (after clicking on the smallest possible icon to access it) they pretty much rule out any sort of condition that you might actually get anythign in return. just wanted to see if any1 else saw anything similar!

Not Delayed Afterall :)

http://crave.cnet.co.uk/mobiles/samsung-galaxy-nexus-not-delayed-says-samsung-50006068/
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-

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.

Well the UK release is 100% confirmed (and re-confirmed) by Samsung and several UK carriers already.

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.

SIM Free deliveries - WEDNESDAY 23rd looking likely!

So now that the 21st is in site, a post to update us all on whether you have received your GN yet.
I am particularly interested in HANDTEC orders, as that is who I have ordered through! Cheers guys

Has the 21st actually Bern confirmed?

15/11 Update: Samsung Distribution is still stating week commencing 21st November this has been the case for the past two weeks or so. We understand that dates such as the 17th November MAY be release dates for non sim free stock but we cannot confirm this.

I know what you mean. I waited weeks for them to announce any details for a US launch, got sick of the waiting and ordered yesterday. Now it seems like tomorrow isn't going to happen... WTF Samsung, get your **** together

Will stay with the 23th as clove post, handtec will get at the same time like all uk sim free stores ...
Sent Via My HTC Desire HD

my money is on the 23rd also

Here's hoping the sim-free batches will be different and not have the volume-changing plague like pre-release phones didn't have the plague. I am close to canceling my pre-order, but part of me just wants to wait and see and hope for the best.
I still fear that the sim-free ones won't be released next week though. Phones4U ad said they have a two-week exclusive and some sellers, especially Amazon, have the release date exactly two weeks after Phones4U release.
But I guess hope dies last! It's just a phone

fingers crossed mate, i'll give handtec a call tomorrow

Clove is Samy's ***** just like Handec is HTC's. That's why my money is on 23rd. Handtec states week starting 21st, that could technicaly mean 25th as well
C'mon Clovee... Send it to me NOW!!!

Handtec said on their Twitter that they're expecting the shipment for the 23rd.
Meanwhile, I prefer this. If it comes that day, the delivery should arrive earliest on Friday here in Belgium. That's when I'm home earlier, usually long before any delivery truck arrives. And next week, I'm in night shift. Handtec uses DPD for delivery to my country, and they have notoriously weird times.
Initially I had this week Thursday and Friday the days off, initially expecting the Nexus and Saints Row 3 those days. SR3's release date got moved ahead and the Nexus shipping date back. :|

If Handtec delivers on Wed 23rd. When will US receive our orders?
Thursday is Thanksgiving and I know no delivery will be done. I am not sure if Fedex/UPS delivers on Friday Saturaday or Sunday....
So does anybody know what will happen if they deliver on 23rd?
Thanks in advance!

US is 2-4 Business days. Count Thursday out. It should be at our doors around the following Tues-Thursday >,,> Fml
...Of course, that's only for whoever is in the first batch (/prays)

Can't wait to hear from SIM free buyers receiving e-mails from ratailers announcing shipping... Who's going to be first, Handtec or Clove?

pre-release phones used by reviewers probably didn't check 2G connectivity, or weren't on a network that operates on 900Hz. so they wouldn't have encountered the problem.

Received a tweet from Handtec advising mid week and then this email from Clove. 23rd looks promising:
Dear S,
Thank you for expressing an interest in the Samsung Galaxy Nexus. We are pleased to inform you that stock is due to arrive late today and orders will begin shipping tomorrow. We will receive enough stock to cover all outstanding orders and will have a limited amount of stock available to cover new orders.
If you would like to place an order, we expect, but cannot guarantee, to ship it by the end of November 23rd - pending the completion of security checks and subject to stock availability.
If you already have an order in place with us, please disregard this email.
Kind Regards
The Clove Technology Sales Team.

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.
