Hi All,
I'm getting a bit frustrated at the minute
I ordered a Folio 100 on 10th Feb from a national education provider (we get a discount from them), a week later we got a call to say Toshiba were holding back delivery until they got Adobe certification and the device would be delivered in March
I phoned them again yesterday and got the same spiel and when I pointed out this was March they admitted they didn't know when it would be delivered.
Anybody know when in March the Folio will be available in the UK?

Hi,
I ordered a Folio on 10th Feb with an estimated delivery of one week, the company then phoned me to say there was a problem at Toshiba and delivery was now end of March.
I phoned them last week to be told Toshiba was not now going ahead with the release of the folio 100 and my money would be refunded.
Is this true? does anyone know if the Folio has now been scrapped?
Cheers!
I guess it maybe true. Folio had lots of problems and it kind of stuck Toshiba support centers with calls and complaiments.
I will way for a new version. But if you real want a Folio there are still lots of shops where you can get it, as they are in stock. You can get one for less than 300 euros. Its a good deal, but it can cause alot of pain if you have hardware problems, since Toshiba support is not as good as we expect.
Best regards.

Hi, this thread is only for those who don't already own the Google nexus 10! It is also only for those who live in a country in which the play store doesn't sell the nexus 10. For example, I'm from the Netherlands and Google does not sell the nexus 10 here. So I looked for an alternative and I found one. The site simply Electronics had the nexus 10 in stock for €420,- and with free delivery. But it didn't went well. Simply electronics comes with a big README, and I want to share that. This is my blog and warning for fans of wanted tech.
I ordered a nexus 10 at simply electronics and I want to share how I got my nexus 10. I did a lot of research before I ordered at simply electronics, and I did see a lot negative reviews. I also saw that simply electronics is located in Hong Kong. But all that didn’t scare me, because if you read them well, it turns out that only very impatient people were negative. They couldn’t wait 3 weeks or they didn’t read the delivery time was in WORKING days. All those impatient people cancelled their order and it went wrong from there. I’m not going to discuss those negative reviews about canceling your order, you can read them yourself. Here is how I got my nexus 10:
Monday March 11, 2013: I ordered a nexus 10, 16GB black from simply electronics. There were 10 in stock, and after I ordered one, there were only 9 in stock. I got some emails with order confirmation and everything so far went well. My nexus 10 would be delivered in 7 to 14 WORKING days. Yeah, first time I saw 1 to 2 weeks, but it’s of course 2 to 3 weeks.
Friday March 15, 2013: Today I got an email from customer service. I had to send personal information, a utility bill and a picture of my driver’s license or ID card. This would be used to check if I really live at the address that I used for my order. This mail scared the **** out of me, but I did send that information. I appreciate that simply electronics wants to be secure, but asking this information doesn’t give me a safe feeling at all. I could expect a reply in 24 hours.
24 hours and one minute later… I didn’t got an email, but, silly me, it was Saturday -_-
Monday March 18, 2013: I received an email around 9 in the morning and my information was correct. They could continue with my order. The status of the order at my account said that my order was in queue.
Wednesday march 20, 2013: Just checking (like every day, can’t wait), simply electronics has one 16GB nexus 10 in stock
Thursday march 21, 2013: Nexus 10 16 GB out of stock and my order status turned to: Your order is progressing. It is pending stock allocation or quality check before it goes out for delivery. Doubts go through my mind like crazy! Read the terms and conditions and it said indeed that simply electronics is located in Hong Kong. In the terms and conditions is also mentioned how canceling and returning works, doesn’t look easy.
Friday march 22, 2013: Order status changed: Order Awaiting Dispatch. Your order is pending courier dispatch. An email will be sent with the tracking details once it is shipped. I hope it is sent before the weekend.
Tuesday april 2, 2013: My girlfriend, who also ordered a google nexus 10 at simply electronics, became a little nervous. So I made a call to customer service why it took so long. waited 20 minutes on the phone and finally I got to speak with an american(who was actually in Hong Kong). He helped me just fine and all, but all he could do was to raise priority to high. I asked him why they didn’t change the promised delivery time to one month and he said all he could do was to make a note to the director. He told me that the order had some delay because my information was checked after the weekend and that it may be shipped friday, but it should be shipped before next tuesday.He just couldn’t see how long it is really going to take before dispatch. He also told me to save a screenshot or something like that from the date and time I signed for the delivery company that I received my order. This is important, because you need it when you want to use the one year warranty.
Tuesday April 8, 2014: no that's a joke, it's 2013. But it just feels like I've been waiting for a year. Still I didn't got an email with tracking details. So I made a call again. This time it's really crazy what they told me: at the quality check they found that the nexus 10 might be damaged. Then I asked about my girlfriend's order and it was the same story. The supplier got them nexus 10's, which might be damaged. Expected delivery date? Of course they wouldn't give me one. As soon as possible is what I hear for a month now.
Tuesday, April 16, called again, blablabla, expected dispatch date: early next week. Sight...
Monday, april 22, order checked: Packed: Your order is awaiting courier pick-up and will be dispatched today or latest next working day. FINALY
Wednesday, April 24, nexus 10 finally arrived
Conclusion: I’m happy with my nexus 10, but I’m not going to buy from simply electronics ever again. They are not honest enough. They let you die in doubt, because they never tell you what the status of your order really is. I don’t mind they are located in Hong Kong, but I do mind they not tell you. Why not tell if everyone already knows? It’s in the terms and conditions, but who will read those anyway? I also do not mind to wait a month for a delivery. But I need to know what is really happening. One tip for all the persons who already ordered and feel the same as me, DON’T cancel! Your order will probably arrive, it may take more time then you were told, but if you cancel your order you will probably never see your money again. And save a copy of the delivery date for your warranty.
Not had Android phones for a while so thought I would take a risk and ordered this one from Aliexpress.
realme GT 5G phone Global Version Snapdragon 888 65W Super Dart Charge 120Hz 6.43" AMOLED 8GB 128GB NFC
Getting fed up with the prices of flagship phones and this one is an absolute bargain
Now shipped and should arrive 6th July
I ordered this exact one also, but hasn't shipped yet.
Mine is now delayed till the 15th from the 6th
Order page said, the device should arrive until June 30th, but still 'awaiting shipment' at Aliex account. Delivery from Spain takes 2-3 working days, everything is still in time. If nothing happens on Monday, I'll try cancelling because I hate unreliable companies.

That is impressive if you get it by the 30th (hopefully you will) mine is a good 2 weeks behind yours!
Mine is now stuck in Netherlands since the 26th hopefully it won't be too long before it reaches UK

I think I got lucky, mine has shipped and is stuck in Netherlands since the 26th
Don't want to speak too soon but it looks like my phone may have arrived in the UK
I was mistaken it's moved from Netherlands to Belgium, hopefully should be in UK by this weekend.
Cancelled this pre-order successfully. Good luck to you all with this cellphone.
My package arrived today, was sent just after my last post. Would not have expected this fast delivery to here

It has left the warehouse yesterday so a 2 day period to start the shipping. Expected on 5th of july
Mine is in Liege purgatory since the 29th June, anyone else in the same situation?
Mine arrived tuesday. Under one week, impressive
That is impressive, mine is still stuck in Liege with no idea when I will get it.
Still waiting so brought a Mi11 instead thinking to send the Realme GT back as soon as I get it
I've preordered on B&H, but on a chat today they told me that the estimated date for the phone to arrive it Dec 12/13.
So I cancelled that order (goodbye Pixel Buds) and ordered from Google directly, who said that I'll get the phone on 11 Nov. ¿It's that true?

Mine was supposed to arrive on 9-10th November, and it actually arrived last Friday, so no, it's not accurate. At the beginning it was saying 29th-2nd November though.
Mine was about 4 days earlier than estimated.
I ordered two Pixel 6 256gb variants.
Google's original delivery estimate was delivery by October 28-29.
Then Google updated the delivery estimate to November 2-3.
Shipment is via onTrac and shows as "delivered" on their website - the package has not been delivered. OnTrac support says it has not been delivered, but is "on a vehicle out for delivery" - but they don't know when it will arrive.
I would gladly have paid more if Google had let me select UPS, FedEx, DHL, or even USPS rather than onTrac!!!
My estimate kept changing, but the last one was accurate . Right now I am waiting for FedEx to get their act together. It took a day for the 1st couple of miles, and today it spent a day on the delivery truck but wasn't delivered.
It's definitely a moving target ... But eventually gets there
Well, y'all are lucky, my Seafoam 256gb ordered on 10/27 has been pushed back twice from Dec 1-2, to 5-6, and now to 15-16th...
Afternoon,
Just wondering if anyone in the UK has taken delivery yet?
I ordered from the Asus Store the day it became available - think it was the 29th July - looks like the order is being handled by FiveTech.
I noticed the Asus store page is showing pre-order with an expected delivery of Mid-September, however when I ordered it showed the beginning of September.
Weird, in my country the Asus website was open for orders and the delivery was the next day...
