I was going to go for the Sensation but with all its problems I would rather get the EVO 3D. I havent seen too many complaints about the EVO 3D unlike the Sensation with its touchscreen, Wi-Fi grip of death, dust under screen and lag problems. I wonder why the Sensation has so many problems and the EVO 3D so few considering the fact that they are almost the same phone bar the 3D camera on the EVO 3D and they must have come off the same production line.
Anyway, are there any other UK peeps looking forward to the release of this phone next month? Vodafone already have it on their coming soon page but I,ll be waiting for an unbranded version.
http://shop.vodafone.co.uk/shop/mobile-phone/htc-evo-3d
I've gone for the Optimus 3D as HTC would not respond about the Evo 3D coming out in the UK, pre-ordered but just been told today they have them in stock but LG have told them not to ship until Friday which means I won't get it until next week
Im waiting for an unbranded version too

why they said before that is gonna be in July?
vodafone still has it up as due july
Late August/ early September sounds just about right for the unbranded version. If Vodafone get it at the end of July they would need at least 1 month for their exclusive period to make them any money. IIRC It was the same with the Sensation, Vodafone got it about a month before the unbranded version came to town.

OMG WiFi grip of death & touchscreen problems? I didn't realize the Sensation had those issues.
Just called up T-Mobile UK - As my contract will end next week, so i need to upgrade my phone > spoke to one of the sales rep;
Asked her if she knew anything about the Evo 3D as Vodafone were getting it and i really wanted to stay with T mob etc etc, she replied by saying 'I have no clue about the phone you just asked for' :O.. Dayyum..
Is Vodafone a good network to switch to? and can i keep my current number if i do switch to them..?
I WANT IT!
I'm on Voda and they are fine never had any issues with them.
Yes you can keep your number. You need to order your PAC code from Tmobile before taking out the contract with Vodafone and give Vodafone your PAC (Port Authorisation Code). PAC codes are usually generated within 48hrs at most and normally take less than 24 hours to transfer. Once the signal stops on ur Tmobile sim, your Vodafone sim should then be be activated in less than 2 hours. You are advised to swith off ur phone and turn it back on to let it signal search. Repeat until a signal comes up.
Hope thats some help.
I'm not affiliated with them at all, but when you're changing make sure you go via topcashback. Vodafone are offering £150 cashback on some deals, Tmobile are offering £80.
My tmobile contract is just about up as well, and that Evo 3D is looking very, very tempting.
Hi my impatience got the better of me today so i started a chat session with vodafone.
info: You are now connected with an upgrade adviser.
Bhumil: Hello, you're chatting with Bhumil, one of Vodafone's upgrade advisers.
Bhumil: \How may I assist you today?
You: Do you know when the HTC EVO 3D will be available for me to upgrade to?
You: I know it is showing as coming soon
Bhumil: Well we do not have any official information on that
Bhumil: Once HTC Launches it. it will available for an upgrade
You: Ok thank you. Is Vodafone supposed to be the first UK network to get the phone?
Bhumil: Yes exactly
Bhumil: We are the first who provides it
You: Thank you very much. You have been very helpful.
Hope thats some help to others.

You are very welcome buddy!
Ok so the initial release of the Evo 3D was beleived to have been the 11th of July initially for Vodafoane to have the handset within the UK. That has long since passed. The coming soon page has had the Evo as "coming soon" since the 28th June. On my search around the internet I have had various romours, and guestimates, and even what others have been told by Vodafone representitives themselves.
I found this dissapointing information a guy posted from a chat with a vodafone advisor....
Here is a transcript of live chat.
You: I am interested in joining Vodafone and I like the HTC EVO 3D you have on the coming soon page. When I asked an advisor when I could pre-order it they told me it would be mid July when it is release but the coming soon page is not been updated yet. Do you know when this will be ready for pre-order?
Dhaval : Well it is scheduled to be released in september but no specific date out yet
Dhaval : However you can register for its update online and you will get updates automatically
You: Yeah I am regestered but havent heard anything, why have HTC said July and and advisor of Vodafone also say July and now it’s September?
Dhaval : Well we also havent had any word from HTC, so may be there is a delay in the release date
You: Amazon and Play have this for pre-order for release of 5th September. If Vodafone release this in Septemeber then this would mean you do not have any exclusive rights and this is open to all carriers?
Dhaval : yes no one has exclusive rights and Vodafone will also release on the same date once it is released worldwide
Unsatisfied and annoyed with what I found I wondered if this was another guess by a vodafone rep and wondered what i would be told myself if I chatted with them. Surely the information would be identical or at least very similar right?
Here is my live chat with a vodafone agent...
Arindam: How can I assist you with your online Order today?
You: I wanted to find out if you have any idea when vodafone will be getting the htc evo 3d?
Arindam: We understand that this particular handset is going to extremely popular therefore we have a specific section of our website where you can register your interest and we will then keep you updated via email with the release date and any other news on the handset. "coming soon" click here. .
You: I have already registered, but so far have not received any updates. Does vodafone have any expected release dates?
Arindam: Sorry our higher management have not informed any release dates for the same
You: I understand that 'management' have the last say of info but The HTC Evo 3D has been on the Vodafone "coming soon" page since 28th June so 26 days now. How much longer will the wait be? My current phone has problems and keeps shutting off and I am in desperate need of a new phone. The only reason I intended on staying with vodafone is for this phone but my patience is running low and i'm now considering moving elsewhere for a better tariff with another phone.
Arindam: I understand your situation, however the rumor is that it may get released by mid of next month
Arindam: I am not committing on the date as it is just a rumor
You: So the middle of August?
Arindam: Might be yes according to the rumor
You: Fair enough. I guess i will have to wait a bit longer.
.............................................
So, so far we have been told 11th July, mid July which have now passed. A July release which is looking increasingly unlikely. Then we have 2 conflicting chats with voda reps. So is it going to be release July, August, or September?! Who knows?
I would love to hear others thoughts on this, and also if anyone has had any other information whether similar or conflicting please do share. If we have enough users chatting with vodafone reps maybe we can build a truer picture of what really is happening? Maybe, maybe not. Could be worth a shot though.
Thanks, Mark
How the hell can it be chedules at september for you guys. Here in the netherlands we have 4 shops wich already allows you to preorder. ETA: all august. One site says expecting shipping date: august the 5th.

Thanks for the info buddy. It does seem to be getting a little silly with the conflicting info we are getting from Vodafone UK. Supposedly Vodafone UK were supposed to have the UK exclusivity on the Evo 3D but this seems to have change based on the latest info. I do hope all the information we have had recently is incorrect and that it gets released tomorrow. Unlikley, yes. Impossible, No. Wishful thinking, damn straight!!
@ejmjs, i know how you feel and i'm just as frustrated as you are! i've been following the evo 3d as my new phone eagerly since the beginning of may, and was expecting it to launch on july the 11th (like you say, it showing up on the 'coming soon page' in june led to me believing it would make that date). Then i heard somewhere that it would be the last week of july, which is this week, but that looks unlikely now. Now i don't know what to believe
I went to ask in a vodafone shop last week, and the guy said mid august. i was really hoping it would be released in july, and i would get it in august- because although i want it ASAP, i'd want it to some better deals to pop up to make it more affordable (and better deals usually pop up a few weeks after release). who knows when i'll get my hands on one now.

They made an announcement on their eForum yesterday:
Vodafone said:
There have been a number of unanticipated issues during the software approval for Galaxy S 2.
The next phase of testing is scheduled for Friday 13th. We'll provide an update on Monday 16th with the latest information on timings.
If the device passes testing with Google on Friday, we'll be able to confirm despatch dates for preorders in our Monday update. If not, we'll give as much information as we can.

What the... Does this mean they're filling it with bloatware? I've heard from other sources that VF will be selling the GS2 unbranded, but then how could it have issues regarding software approval?
I've been due an upgrade for a month and have been holding off for this -- which is why I haven't bought the phone outright. I still haven't been able to confirm a deal for my new tariff because they can't confirm deals until the phone is showing 'in stock' for those in the call centre.
I heard the date of 16th being the release date for some time now, so hopefully on Monday I'll here "the phone is available!" and I get in before they're out of stock.
Anybody else in the same or a similar boat? Very, very frustrating!
Hey, I managed to pre-order the phone through an online early upgrade on the 4th May. When I ordered it said something along the lines of shipping "from the 16th May" so this could mean any time after that date really. I phoned the warehouse team on Tuesday (10th May) to try and get clarification if they still expected to start shipping on this date, and the guy I spoke to said that they anticipated stock to arrive within the next 2-3 days and that once it was in stock they would start shipping immediately. However after seeing the update on their forums yesterday I can only assume that what I was told was a complete lie.
It's really frustrating that a) Vodafone would load the phone with software (bloatware) Google obviously don't approve of and b) that they would delay the launch of the phone to do this!
why not get it through CPW or mobiles.co.uk?
sure to be unbranded then + probably cheaper anyway...
got mine on release week on VF upgrade via mobiles.co.uk
Because mine was an early upgrade (my contract isnt up 'til September) I had to go direct through Vodafone. Although by the looks of things, Vodafone might not be shipping my order until September anyway
I'd say you're probably better to wait a couple of months, especially if VF are ****ing about with the firmware...
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA Premium App, innit!
My O2 phone works fine on a Vodafone SIM, so if they're having problems in testing they must be screwing around with it. That means you'll get any official updates some time after everyone else.
Plus is there the remotest chance you'll get the phone for £149.99 on a £10.50 per month contract with Vodafone? Nope.
Go to phones 4u or carphone warehouse. They will give you an unbranded sgsII as an upgrade.
I got mine as a Vodafone upgrade from phones 4 u. on April 30th.
Mine was an early upgrade. My contract doesn’t finish until 12th of June. But i was able to upgrade from 12th of April. The 2 month is added to the end of my new contract. So i can upgrade again 12th of April 2013. But again my contract won't be up till 12th of June 2013

They won't be able to do as good a deal as Vodafone will (most likely) do. I'm hoping I'll be able to get a handset-only upgrade which would mean: £35 p/m 18m, 600mins, Unlimited texts, 500MB, Vodafone passport.
Looking at mobiles.co.uk I'd have to take 300 less minutes per month and pay £79.99 for the handset. That's pretty good but since I've been with VF for a good number of years I think I can do better.

Could you barter or did you have to stick to their standard deals? Carphone warehouse can do my tariff with that phone if I pay £159.99 for the handset -- no thank you :-/
I would check on Phones 4 U website but unfortunately they kind of con you into allowing them to use your information for marketing before showing you the goods it seems. Oh well.
Could it be the NFC devices which are supposed to hit late may early june?
Means they could still be unbranded?
An optimistic view, I doubt it though. I have little faith in Vodafone! I received a response (to an email I sent) from one of Guy Laurence's people. I responded by asking her if these VF handsets will be branded. My next question will be about NFC.

Really, really terrible. Pity I have to wait until they're in stock to get a good deal, which means they'll probably go out of stock instantly due to all the preorders and I'll be waiting another two weeks...

same offers I get, just I can apply for discounts after I've order (this is special for me, please don't expect to barter with customer services after the phone has come out if you pre-order on a high tariff).
why are you waiting at all, I upgraded my vodaphone contract using Phones4you, got a great deal. 25/month, £60 for phone.
You can get voda's version will be full of crap and more expensive.
@stoolzio
Can you tell me how this worked? I tried three different P4U stores and they all said that they no longer do "handset upgrades". ie: They'd give me the phone, on my network, but only if I changed tariff. Since I want to keep my existing tariff I couldn't do a deal with P4U (or CPW, either).
Did you change your Voda tariff?

Same, I rang P4U earlier and they said they don't do handset only upgrades. They were £50 cheaper than CPW though.
@b33p:
Have you had a call from Voda, by any chance? They called me about 11am to say the SGS2 might be available for despatch today.
They didn't call back, so I did.
Totally different story: "It's available from the 19th".

I got mine through phones4u in PCworld, maybe things are different. To be honest I think it depends on the branch and even perhaps who you talk to, a bit inconsistent, i'll tell you why.
I first ran Phones4u and they told me the same, no upgrades, however they told me they would be doing next week (two weeks ago now). They also told me they had no handset trade in policy, none at all, nada nothing, didnt exist.
So, the following week I walk into PC world, there and then I am offerred an upgrade of my current vodoacontract and given £90 for my old HD2 (with android on it no questions asked). I was so dumbfounded I just got my cash out and signed up.
Now the proud owner of one SG2 with same phone number, minutes and everything.

The RadioShack preorder page that was leaked before is now up. http://www.radioshack.com/evo3d
At the bottom it says "Trade-in offer good 6/24 - 7/31/2011." That would seem to offer more support to the 6/24 release date idea.

Never dealt with RS but i wouldn't worry too much about the mail in rebate. Sprint keeps renewing this instant rebate and it seems to coincide with new phone releases. I am sure this allows them to cancel it when they want to but i don't see that happening with this phone. Very little would hurt their sales more than canceling this with no notice.
I hope this is legit

Microsoft held a big WP7 event in NYC today. They showed off all the phones.
The only good tidbit out of the event (that we did not already know) was that the HTC Titan on AT&T would be priced around $200.
No release date was given by AT&T and the demo units were not even branded, which makes some reporters think it will be some time before we see units in the stores.
So, I am waiting also as I am eligible for an upgrade and will use it for the Titan!
Eligible for an upgrade myself, dying to get one.
I was at an ATT Corporate store yesterday looking at the Focus S and he said their releases were on the 1 and 3rd Sundays of the month. He thought it was probably going to be Nov 20th. He didnt have any exact knowledge of the date. He didnt think any other major ones would be released after that for the holidays.

I preorderd my evo lte through Sam's club for $150. Has anyone received their phone yet? I'm getting anxious! I got an email last week saying that it would only be in the warehouse for 1 hour before they would ship it out to me. Haven't heard anything since.

They are selling it for 150? Do they do trade ins prolly not...
I work there. From my knowledge none of the stores in my area (Houston) have gotten them in. We even got a memo saying to expect delays because of the customs incident and that the possible launch date would be Wednesday May 30th. Also said phones would probably ship this week.

I preorderd mine from the website because at the time the store wasn't doing pre orders.
Yes I did pay just $150 from Sam's club.

Some Walmarts carry them also,my local store has listed for 158.88.Of course,they haven't received any yet.

The Stores in the Charlotte area haven't gotten any either.. and probably want for awhile.. Sams Club seems to get the latest and greatest on the site months before the store ever sees it.. ( I've been with sams for over 10 years )
If you pre-ordered through Sams they will Ship out Tomorrow (they'll email you tracking number) and you should get it by Wednesday. (Which is the Release date).

Yea, I was considering doing the same thing. But Im really torn between the 2. Evo lte or galaxy nexus. I was initially waiting on the g-nex, but after realizing there is no sd slot (which I dont think I can coupe with) and a lower res cam (why on earth would they do that) plus the addition to the evo's cam abilities, slow mo + hdr and to top it off with an 8 mp cam and 2.0 fstop and micro sd, its kinda hard to ignore all of that, not to mention a faster processor (which im sure the gnex will be oc'ed and the evo too) and slightly bigger screen.
PLUS (caps intended) for only $150? Its like I have no other choice but to pick the evo over the gnex (altho I know primarily what Im speaking is entirely off topic) so yea, I will be pre-ordering this week sometime, not knowing how long I will be waiting.
To answer your question though (which I've forgotten by now): N/A
I just ordered one yesterday and it said 2-3 weeks before shipping. I'm not good for a new phone till June 1, so they'll put it through then. And the insurance is only $6.99 a month.
Just checked my order status and it still says approved awaiting inventory. 7:55 pm on Monday.

Mine does too, but you should get Tracking Number email tomorrow . If not then Sams Rep. would have LIED to me ... But i asked and re-asked and mentioned the 2 to 3 week period stated on their website and she still said it'll be at my door steps this Wednesday (Assuming everyone got the free overnight shipment).
Just checked again and it still says waiting on inventory. Has everyone else who pre ordered through sprint and best buy received their phones?

Still waiting on inventory. Sam's club on the internet looks a lot like wirefly. I wonder if they are the same. Anyway I want my evo lte now.

As far as the webpages looking the same, thats just a Portal Tool they use to order phones/services through Service providers, however that's all they have in common, stocking/inventory is still through Sams Club and webpage has nothing to do with that.
Clearly the Sams Rep. had no clue about the phone being held by customs. Getting my hopes ugh curse her!
Anyways so i called Wal-Mart last week (before pre-ordering from Sams) and they tell me that they don't carry Sprint.
I go today to get a few things and i checked out their Electronics section just for the heck of it. SURE ENOUGH I SEE SOMEONE purchasing the Brown Boxed LTE EVO! Boy did i get excited, so when I ask that i wanted one too, they told me that, that was the last one. and they had no clue when they were going to get more in. UGH!
I also slightly fussed about why someone told me that they didn’t carry sprint, they gave me no response, just said “I don’t know why they told you that.” Talk about poor communications to customers.
I also pre-ordered in store through Sam's Club for $149.74. Their orders are handled by cellstores.com which is a service of Simplexity. We are all in the same boat as the Wirefly group. Waiting without any info from Sam's Club, Sprint or Simplexity.
Although they did tell me in store last Thurs (5/24) that it would ship Friday (5/25) and I would have it Tuesday (5/29) because of the holiday. Didn't believe her then and I absolutely do not believe her now.
I sent a pretty nasty email to Sam's and they offered me a Bluetooth headset. I really don't want a cheap headset I want to know when will I get my phone! I guess in the future I will use BB or Sprint.

Just got this email...Sound familiar?
Dear xxxxxxxx,
We are very sorry for the inconvenience that you have experienced with your preorder of the Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE through Sam's Club Mobile. While the situation is completely out of our control, this is certainly not the sort of customer experience that we endeavor to provide and we regret the delays you are experiencing.
At this point, you probably know that inventory for the HTC EVO 4G LTE is severely constrained nationwide. The latest information we have is that US Customs officials only released a small fraction of the device last week and the entire first shipment was just released (see article for additional information). We are in constant contact with Sprint and will send you an email with the latest official information as soon as we can.
In the meantime, we appreciate your patience. As a token of our appreciation for your loyalty, we are upgrading your shipping to Next Business Day at no additional charge. It isn’t much, but we feel it is the least we can do.
Thanks again for shopping with us. We greatly appreciate your business and hope to be shipping your new HTC EVO 4G LTE soon.
Sincerely,
Your Friends at Sam's Club Mobile
Sorry but Sam's offers Next Business Day Shipping from the get go. Thanks for nothing.....
I actually just received that email. Ill post the one I got earlier offering the headset.

Just wondering if anyone knows if there will be a black HTC One for T-Mobile.
Rumor says a week after the silver.

I'm sure the black would have more visable scratches than the silver one, so no biggie. I wanted silver anyways since I always get dark phones. Switch it up this time.

Thanks for the info. But ugh. What the hell? Why is T-Mobile always at the bottom of the barrel? What is so complicated about offering both colors, since HTC is making it anyway? (And don't even get me started about the 64 GB thing. Hey let's artificially limit the availability of the more expensive model so that we can make less money by not selling them to people who want them! Yeah, great idea.)

Maybe it's my skeptical nature, but it seems like a lot of tmobile customers receiving the One are seeing quality issues more frequently than in other markets, so I have to wonder if HTC, scrambling to meet demand amid quality control nightmares on the first builds, has a few grades of quality, where ATT gets the better stock and tmobile gets the scraps! I dunno, but I wouldn't put it past T-Mobile to say, 'sure! we'll take the scraps!!"
who knows!
I've been pestering @Tmobile on twitter and their chat reps for about a week now and they always respond "we have no info on that at this time". The silver One seems to be selling well so hopefully they will pick up the black One soon. I'm holding out til maybe june to see if things change before I move on to a different device but I am very prepared to be disappointed.

This has been the same song and dance with HTC since Windows Mobile 6 was "all the rage"... HTC has NEVER released a device that didn't take one or two revisions to get right... And I've owned a ton of them. Never again will I buy an HTC device on launch... Everyone else can beta test for me!

Do you remember the HTC hd2 back in 2010 , that was the only htc phone i ever had, an i have to tell you that i loved the build quality of that phone

And that's the only one I never had LOL. Everyone said the HD2 was the best phone HTC had ever made. I had the MyTouch 4G and the Sensation 4G and they both were horrendously built...
my sensation i got on release date and it's been fine... ,inus that fall down the stairs
The HTC One is sort of a reincarnated modern version of the Hd2. I love it! I got my tmobile one yesterday and there are no build quality issues. In fact it's better than most people who have been receiving these first batches of ones. All my edges are prestine with no "gaps."
I feel like the tmobike version is a custom unlocked HTC one. My brother has stock fireware on his and it said att for a second while he was using it. I put trickdroid on mine within the first couples hours after receiving the phone.

I was actually thinking the same about the htc one .. Im getting mine next week , and im so exited. I dont really care about the black one because all my phones have been black , and i think it show more scratch...

Um you mean the same song and dance with EVERY manufacturer? It's not a htc thing. The 1st batch of iPhones had QA issues,the 1st batch of GS3's had QA issues. Yes being a early adapter sucks but don't just pick on htc and make them out to be the only ones!
Ugh... I really want the black one! I've had nothing but light colors phones in the past and i am bored of it! I think black looks better on cases.. just my opinion.. we have 20 days to return the device if ordered on tmobile.... maybe somethign will show up..
