any one has update when Orange UK will get the stock? the upgrade team keep on saying we'll sms you when stock will be in.
It's coming tomorrow!!!
I am sooo psyched right now
Hope I won't screw up my Exam tomorrow XD
Being in Pakistan, my only option was to get a friend to get a phone for me by mid-November when they come down here... and since they're in the States, i told 'em to get HTC HD7...
But i was surprised today when i caught the HTC Mozart in a shop here at a local shop!!! It's Orange branded but unlocked and fully packed... he got one for himself and the other to sell at the store...
The moment i saw it, i just couldn't resist... rushed back home, called my cousin to confirm he hadn't picked the HD7 up yet, canceled that order, went to the bank, and am now sitting playing with the Mozart...
It is simply the best phone ever! Definitely the best looking of the bunch! (can't say about it against Dell Venue Pro though)..
... gave mine to a collegue yesterday and switched back to my old Touch Diamond II (Topaz).
For me the actual WP7 series phones (all - not only the mozart) can't fill out the needs as business phone :-/
Hope that will changed within the next months.
Bye folks!
Ralf
Also Bye from her too
It turned out that the very good price on the mozart I ordered was a mistake, so the deal was cancelled, and I went to a 3-shop and I bought a Samsung Omnia 7 (the only wp7 which actually has come out in Denmark already) indstead and I have now had it since wednesday and I love it
You can buy one at Amazon.de.
Orange UK has got the stock now
Only got my text from orange today about stock for upgrades - I receive mine tomorrow and I cannot wait, I've been gone a while from this site.
I got a free Mozart and only pay £21 per month - nice
I did the last option "Did not order it yet....." because I have the HD7
finally, i found a taiwan website which can ship internationally. will order one next Monday.
only 603USD/pcs plus 20USD ship in'l. good price huh!
XD,zol js...

[POLL] [UK] Where did you get/order your TouchPad from?

Just a poll to see where people in the UK have got their TouchPad's from.
EDIT: If you choose Somewhere else please list it in the thread. Thanks!
I've voted under Play.com - but order went through at full price of £349
don't know whether they are now sold out at full price
and don't know whether I'd be able to argue them down to reduced price once it arrives, or whether I'll have to return it.
I'm not keeping at at £260 more than everyone else!!
I'm a 'Somewhere Else'
Today I got my 32Gb for £115 inc VAT through work. Luckily for me I work for a Trade Only IT disti. It's coming on the lorry Thursday, with a hundred or so others for all the guys and gals here (at the office). TouchPad's will outnumber iPads here
Looking forward to this...
Staples online, and had phone call to confirm it (they are doing fraud checks on all orders apparently, and I got my confirmation after the call)

I bought over the phone from Carphone Warehouse, so I had to vote "other".
Work for a distributor and they put 50 of each aside in our office for people to buy. Went pretty sharply!
....waiting on the Pre 3 now *wink* *wink*
what a well designed poll when most people are "other"
wow only 21 people have got one?
Voters: 21
Just got one from Argos. Really nice tablet, want to overclock it straight away.

Yeah I know . I've been playing around with it for 30 minutes and it's a steal at this price. Not worth £350 though. I heard HP were getting another batch in, so I'd be surprised if everyone who wanted one didn't get one. The IPS panel really is beautiful.
Hope you all get one soon.

Managed to get mine from carphone warehouse, they had already sold out but I persuaded them to locate a couple for me. Received them today, very happy with it so far, the touchpad has massive potential.
edit: argos told me they still have stock left iin their warehouse
Staples uk has dispatched mine.
Mine shipped from Amazon themselves this afternoon. It`s a 32Gb one and still at £429.99 so might yet go back. Was ordered 10.30pm Monday got a "We know about the pricing. You`ll have to wait and see in 3-5 days for an answer."
reply to my email
happy enough to say I (almost) have one now from play.com - after the mega headache of 'wont drop the price' saga.
it should arrive tomorrow...
Ordered mine from Staples UK online on Tuesday, arrived Thursday morning

Why can't I buy HTC Flyer?

I'm wondering how people in the US are buying their HTC Flyer. I thought Bestbuy sold them but I went to 4 best buy on yesterday and none of them had stock. None of them knew when or if they would get more. I looked online and no best buy in my area has them (very odd since I live in L.A.). Is there another place to get them for $299? Is this device discontinued? I really don't want to go the ebay route. Thanks in advance!
When the price drop occurred most places sold out without any new inventory .... I don't think they are getting more shipments as they are trying to get rid of all of the accessories ...

Looks like Best Buy and HTC pulled a "Touchpad" at better than salvage pricing. Our Best Buy says they are waiting for deliveries of the new Jetstream model, but I can't see much demand for device that costs $699 and requires a two year contract on AT&T.
No fire sale, they lowered the price to compete with the Kindle Fire. After that they've been selling out quickly. I purchased mines two weeks ago. One store in NYC had them. The following week every store in my area had them.

Bestbuy.com lists it as online only. I don't know if they do a ship to store option.. If so, that will save a few bucks on shipping costs

I lucked out and got the last one in my area.
I got mine about 2.5 weeks ago at the BB here. They only had 3 left. I went back to BB 2 nights ago to get the invisible shield by Zagg ($9.99) and I got the last one.
They still have cases and styluses, though.
The stores in the New Orleans area still had them when I visited over the weekend.
well, 4 out of 10 stores in or near Omaha have them in stock based on the website and they show as backordered otherwise. While I think the 7" is an ideal size for my needs, I think the general market may lean toward the larger screens as a mainstream device and the smaller screens thought of more as book readers.
cheers

Thanks for the input guys. I just left one best buy and they didn't even have the flyer on display anymore. I have a cousin in Texas who is close to a best buy that has stock so I will have him buy it for me. Everything seems to indicate that the flyer is at the end of it's life and I have to wonder if it will be updated to HC or ICS. Nevertheless, I still want to buy one since it is pocketable and allows me to take precise notes.
I picked mine up about 2 weeks ago and i got the very last one. I used to work at the geeksquad in the store and i was talking to the GM and he was saying they sold out really quick after the price drop. He didnt mention anything about it being discontinued though.
The Flyer is not being discontinued, it's just been selling really well.
I had been looking for a flyer for a couple of weeks, checking my best buy every day. All stores close to me had been showing out of stock. Then last weekend I went to the store and they had 1 in the store so I bought it. It was new and unopened so it wasnt a return. I think its just taking a while to full stock. I'm sure the price drop on accessories is because they have too much on the shelf vs the number off flyers in stock.

I just bought mine yesterday. Had to drive to gretna to the bestbuy mobile store to get teh last one, after visiting the 3 stores in/around Metairie and calling the houma store (only one to show inventory online). After calling around I lucked out and the BBM store had 1 that wasn't showing in inventory. There aren't any within a 50 mile radius of new orleans! These things must be selling like hotcakes.
Want to pick one up but wasn't ready to pull the trigger. Only 3 stores have any in inventory. Concerned there will be no back fill and this is my last shot

You may be on your last shot...seems that Adroid device shelf-life is counted in "dog months" - in other words 5 months on the market is nearly 3 years - they definitely are not tied to an annual upgrade cycle.

Gosh darn you Carphone Warehouse!

After being told it will be delivered tomorrow, then the next day, then the next for the white I9300 i have now finally been told it will now be NEXT Thursday!
I am very unhappy with this company! Cancelling my order and going elsewhere. Now i have no number as my contract expired today!
So cross at their lack of honesty!
Thats all, just needed to vent.
MOD EDIT: Swearing removed, lets all go to our happyplaces

Having been messed around by play.com I rang CPW yesterday afternoon and ordered an S3 to be delivered to my local store and collected it just after lunch today.
I was more than a little bit surprised at how well it went.
every time i read the name sounds like "crapwarehouse " no offense

Got mine today from carphone warehouse in Selfridges in London, sim free £499 i didn't think that was too bad considering everything in Selfridges is usually double.
I was messed around something terrible by Carphone Warehouse.
Firstly, they took my £500 immediately on pre-ordering the phone (3 weeks before release date). I ordered pebble blue SIM FREE for collection at my branch.
Literally hours before release date they tell me pebble blue not available and that they have no idea when it will be (not their fault if Samsung made a mistake with their blue paint but they have £500 of mine and cannot tell me when I can have my phone).
3 weeks? 6 years?
"The reason we take your £500 up front sir is to ensure you get the special, online offers for pre-ordering (memory card, car charger etc)".
- Later I am told by them that as I am buying SIM-FREE I am not legible for the special offer anyway!!!
Release date comes and I want to change my order to Marble White.
They absolutely assured me I could do this.
Spoke to my local branch and then to retail support or whatever it is (higher up the chain).
"No problems sir, your order will be changed and we will phone you to confirm".
No phone call.
Called them back and "yes sir I can see your order has been changed to Marble White on our system. We are expecting white phones in on Friday 1st June and yours should be in that batch".
Friday comes and no phone.
Phone the shop and retail support.
"Oh no sir I can see on our system that it still says Pebble Blue for your order".
Absolutely useless.
I went straight to Phones4U, bought the phone and then cancelled my order with CPW.
Serves them right.
Now I am waiting for them to return my £500. They'll probably forget or something!
All good, but on the phones4u website the price is £600. Is this is what you paid?
i got my white version 2 days ago from them after swapping from blue to white.
But the problem was that they did not give me any pre order accessories at all, saying that no carphone warehouse got stock for this and that is impossible for them to give free accessories as they have not been suplied for this.
this is utter b----s--t! has anyone else heard this?
Re: Phones4U price......
I called one branch and they quoted £600.
I called another branch and they quoted £500!
So off I went to the £500 branch.
When they scanned the box for me to purchase they appeared to have probems. I knew exactly what the problem was of course. The manager was involved and they made a phone call or two to check on the price.
Turns out they ARE charging £600 for SIM FREE. Obviously trying it on a bit as the phone is so sought after currently that they can probably get away with it.
Anyway they did offer one other option...to buy it on a PAYG deal.
That was £550 and it was supplied with a SIM card with £10 credit on it.
So that's what I did. I'll just use the SIM card with credit on it to make any 0870 or other expensive calls.

Wait or buy?

Hello!
I've been thinking about buying the Honor 7 for some months now. The only problem is that it's taking too long for the release in europe so I'm thinking of buying the chinese version.
I have some questions that I hope someone could help me with..
1. What are the difference between the models we have on the market today? Any model I should buy instead of the other ones?
2. Is there any drawbacks with buying a chinese model? Language problems? Google apps not working (so I read?)?
3. Should I wait for the European version or buy the chinese version?
Thank you for any answears!

The EU version is for sale now so I guess you should get that. You get 50€ off the price (349€) this weekend also so you only pay 299€. Check out www.vmall.eu

They still don't have a date for the actual shipment

I just ordered it yesterday in grey on vMall, but it still unprocessed
It's not possible to join them, neither by email /chat, neither by phone (busy ringing),
i'm disapointed about that :/
Let's see what will append next.
Just like LePocketPc I ordered it two days ago at night time and I should receive it on Monday with DHL delivery as well.
The payment process went well and they processed my order yesterday morning. I'm still surprised by how efficient they were on my order.
@m3zz3r On their email they wrote that they're only working from Monday to Friday from 9 to 5 therefore I doubt you'll get any answer from them before Monday. (they're located in France apparently, and the phone is shipping from London)
I'm in the UK and ordered on Friday. Order says not processed. They don't work at weekends and it's a holiday here on Monday. Hope they've got some stock on Tuesday It seems Expansys is handling the sales, in the UK anyway.
I've joined the club and gone for the EU version, for £210 seems a real bargain......only concern is the updates but it does have android 5.0 and ive read that 5.1.1 is currently in beta testing (HUKD)........ordered also late friday afternoon so not processed yet.....would be nice if it came next week but im looking at at least a few weeks....... a new phone to play with will be fun as ive had my LG G2 for a few years now, works great but boredom has set in......LOL
Anyone who's ordered had any indication of when it will be shipped?

Just received mine now For information the 86 IMEI working with the provider FREE ( France ) with 20 Go Fair Use
Komplett has the white one in stock
The phone is now listed as 'Available' in my VMall order (France) !
Ordered mine on 'launch' day last week and still have it as being pre-ordered. How are people getting theirs already that ordered the day after I did? The lack of info for the actual shipping day is a bit frustrating.

Ordered mine sunday night and it shipped yesterday (monday) via DHL.
A few minutes ago I have received the banking details for my order dd. August 28 ...
The payment goes to Expansys also for German orders and to a German banking account.
I guess they will have received thousands of orders and will be a little bit busy now :silly:
Can someone confirm which version exactly came from VMall.eu?
My version is PLK-L01. Bought friday from vmall.eu
I'm in the UK. Placed an order on Friday and just received an email saying delivery expected in 2-3 weeks...unprecedented demand...hugely popular...blah blah.

Just had an email from vmall.eu - They say that it will take 2-3 weeks to get the phone. Seems a bit unfair given I ordered within an hour of it being live on the site on Thursday and others have ordered later and received theirs already.
And as a side rant, why on earth do manufacturers put themselves in this position. They know it will be popular, so have more stock. It isn't a rushed release or anything, so just be prepared for launches properly.
