Guys, who all have got sgs2 today as promised by handtec in uk ?
R u guys happy with their delivery service ? Why no one has posted their new experience with this phone ?
One strange thing is bugging me, eventhough sgs2 is such a popular device around the world, why handtec still has huge stock left ? Is it because they have too much of stock or no one except few crazy people like me have bought it from them ?
I mean this is very strange for handtec, as new device gets released arlest we have to wait for min 1 month until we get the devices in stock. Atleast that's what happened to me last year when I ordered htc desire...
I guess the reason could be because of the samsung's thoughtful plan of releasing it throughout the world at the same time or around a minimum duration.
Or it might be because of lack of NFC which is preventing people from buying it online from uk ??? I think it's the least cause for the people to do it that way for such a master piece in the whole mobile industry till today....
This is what I guess whenever I see " in stock next day delivery" on their website now....
Anyone could possibly know what's the genuine reason for handtec still having the stocks in ???
no its because handtec is HUGE and they ordered a huge supply..

I just hope there is stock left at the end of the week. Because if AT&T/Samsung do not announce the S II U.S. launch date at their press conference Thursday, I will be ordering from UK.
It sounds like they are launching in 120 countries this week and next so I assume they made sure to have plenty of stock.
Any chance of them reducing the price of sgs2 to promote the sales ?
If it's like that, then I am here to wait for another 2 wks..... You know competition is always good for customer....
Samsung has really done a great job by decentralizing the availability of their master piece till date.....
I think it's foolishness tobexpect the price drop atlasest for another 3 months....
My bad..... I will order for one from them.... It would have been nice if the UK model carried NFC chip along with it.... Too bad that samsung played a dirty trick to boost their sales figures.....
Hmm.... Pls don't repeat this trend samsung.... No one likes it .....
Can we have some unboxing pics & new hands on experience from UK buyers.... Pls many people here like me are dying to see this sexy showing off it's true collies until we all have one in our hands.... Pls.... It's a request to those who have already bought it... Tease us with pics, not by just asking or commenting about new feature or doubts..... We as fed up of seeing those threads with questions about new features & unknown things about sgs2.....
Come on guys..... Do us some favour by posting things what we would like to see here....
it is actually a interesting question, why wouldn't they have stock?
They know how many are pre-ordered and they just got it from samsung, that's it
After all handtec is a big business, I trust their ability to fulfill all pre-orders and having a handful handsets left for sale.
Yeah I hope so.... Over a period of years they must have learnt s lesson on his to stay ahead in the market with many new competitors introduced.....
Actually it's a good thing gig them as well as for us....
I wish they have enough stick till I order one for me from them... way to go handtec.... Keep it up
Also I am dying to see someone post screen shots of unboxing & hands on review pls ... Only pics would suffice our desires to see this beauty flying in colours....
you'll have to wait for tomorrow for that...
They have same day delivery services in uk?

Wonder how many new threads will be started saying the same thing that is already in other threads......
This section is already following suite of the EVO section where no one reads what has already been posted!
but why would they have a saturday release?
maybe "rough" meaning it will actually be Friday June 3rd?

Maybe the EVO 3D will be available at Best Buy a few days earlier than the "official" launch. I got my original TouchPro years ago at Best Buy on a Friday when the official Sprint launch was the following Sunday.

No way. This smartphone game is so much more high-profile than it was back then. Hell, it's even more high-profile than it was this time last year for the Evo4G. Everybody is super hush-hush about release dates. At this time last year I'm pretty sure we already heard that the Engineering RUU was leaked and the bootloader nand-unlocked had been achieved only a week later...very thorough and complete hands-on reviews were done by the zillions of people who got a free Evo4G at GoogleIO and the ones sent out to the tech press. After owning one for over a year I can honestly say that we had the most accurate picture painted of the Evo4G we possibly could have without having touched one...
...this year? Aside from tech specs that have been available for months, ummm, nothing except a few brief hands on at tech shows (complete with reports of every possible widget and app crashing or locking the unit).
On one hand I'm irritated at the lack of information. On the other hand I'm thoroughly impressed at the lack of information in this day and age.
Either way, I want some fncking answers.
bumm bum buhdum ( the price is right looser sound) with the bag pipes deflating after.
HA i knew this "rough launch" was BS. Someone just wanted their 15 min of fame. ( and got it for a while)
am I pretty much screwed on the upgrade and need to pay retail if I want the 3D?
I'm on SERO also.. I knew the 3D was coming out but there was no way I could wait for 2.5 months due to needing a better phone for work.
Before that I had a Moto q9c for 3 years which wasn't cutting it.
Anyone ever have experience with this?
I gotta say man, patience is your friend. 60 days of Moto Q9c wouldn't have killed you.
IMHO, just buy it from Amazon @ $469 (Total).

Well I knew it was coming out, there was just really no way I could have waited.
I got a new job in April and desperately needed a better phone that could do everything a modern Android phone is capable of.
The painless way to do it is if you're paid bi-weekly, save $113 from 4 checks & you'll have it in est. 2 months from Amazon. (Again, patience is your friend, don't go spending it.)
And hey, by that time, it may have root & roms available.

lol yea, well I have the money, just don't like paying full retail for phones.
I was planning on waiting for more dev support anyways, dunno how I could go back to a non-rooted phone. Plus I spent so many hours theming my phone to get it looking good
My theory is Sprint is **** blocking HTC from pushing it forward. The reason behind this is simple. I believe that they are trying to Push the Nexus Prime with ICS for a month or two then we will get it. Specs to a layman shopper these phones are close to one another (dual core, ram, ect) I know for us here they are not but the average Joe they are. Sprint pays a lot for new phones and the Evo 3D is near EOL so they'd rather have people looking at the new shiny then an old one. Just my humble two cents for what it's worth....
No i am not trolling and I own a 3D . I also don't know when EOL is but this June they'll have had it for a year so it's closer now then the PRIME is by almost a year.
You would actually think sprint would want to sell more of the 3d's right now, since they have a lot of inventory left. And if they don't sell them now at 150 or 200 bucks, they will have to discount them to 99 bucks or lower to get rid of remaining stock.
They did that to the EVO lol gave it gingerbread and few months later it went out the window. I don't think Sprint is the problem think HTC is tryin to make it flawless maybe

True sitlet but they have more money right now tied up in the nexus prime order then they do the remaining Evo's so if they want to recoup that fast they'd hold any phones getting ICS and have just the Prime for a month or two ... then update the other stock as well as introduce new phones. .... Again just my two cents. Thanks for you input though :
True Reaper that may be but HTC normally is pretty good at pushing updates or at least they were for the Hero for the first year as well as the og Evo. I'd rather blame Sprint cause HTC really is trying to get it's s**t together for it's user base and they've had ICS to play with now for what... 5 or 6 months? Cause the developers get it before they push it to phones or release the source....

$50 at Target, still big sellers here
I agree, given Sprint's track record with Eclair on the Hero and GB on the EVO and Shift, its gonna be a long spring for us here
HTC told us we would have ICS in the beginning of the year. I asked on Facebook why the ICS update has been posponed to "later in the year" instead of having it at "the beginning of the year", the response I got was that "nothing has been delayed" and then a link to their note on Facebook.
Here they said "beginning of the year"

Like I said, the response by HTC to my wall post was that "nothing has been delayed", so either we will get it before June, or we were lied to.

Actually, if it isn't before the end of March, we were lied to. To me, "early" implies within the first three months of the year, but rest assured my friend, you guys with the GSM 3d will most certainly receive your ISC update LONG before we CDMA/Sprint users get ours.
Yeah, radioshack sold me mine for $100. That $200 pricing is already out the window.
I am betting they are looking for a way to force HBOOT 1.5 in order to use ICS. They probably have a release already ready... but they are hoping to add that hook. If too much time goes by, the public pressure will force them to release sooner than they want.
My prediction about the original HBOOT unlock delay was spot on, even though people called me crazy. So... don't doubt me this time.

like "they" give a crap about "you".
There's no contract written here, no obligation, no reason at all to update us any faster than "they" like.
You bought what you bought, and thats the end of "their" obligation.

Actually, Google requires manufacturers to keep phones up to date with Android versions for 2 years so HTC's obligation to "us" has not ended for another year.

Yes, but in the same regard, that's their only time frame. It doesn't have to be this month or the next, or the one after that, as long as it's within the year.

I believe its 18 months..But still,jellybean will be out by the time month 18 comes for us 3D users.
I don't think we will see ICS until August-September. But it wont matter to me because I'm using my wife's upgrade in July for what ever is out or I just may leave Sprint because I'm tired of a sub par network.

It's not HTC fault guys. It's the fat kid he ran off with our ICS Sorry I couldn't help it.
I believe we will see it soon. Whip some nice roms up from it ...

If your right, then we as a community need to voice the opinion to Sprint directly about their poor choice in holding this back for us....
In all honesty the more I think about it a new phone coming out should not delay an update to an older one. Even if they were updating the 3D to Sense 4.0 the pure hardware alone of the new HTC device will be leaps ahead of ours and really an update to our device wouldn't delay or deter anyone from buying the new device anymore than if it wasn't out. If anything the publicity of Sprint pushing manufacturers to roll out OTA's faster would benefit them more...

I don't think the Nexus has anything to do with it. I believe it's all Sprint and what phone they consider their flagship device. When the Evo 4g came out it got babyed with a lot of software upgrades while the Epic 4g just sat and rot. Now you have the Epic 4G Touch as the flagship this time around and its been receiving quite a few updates. This includes some leaked ics builds. So I have reason to believe whatever is Sprints flagship device is the device Sprint will push manufacturers to develop for..

Am already aware of the existing problems and their work arounds and the only problem remaining is the sms one and am sure something will give and a solution found. What i need is to know if there is a way to unlock the phone.
Phone is factory unlocked for gsm use, minus the sms problem.
Huraaaah! Getting it next week then. Or maybe i should wait for an sms work around to the problem

The phone comes 'Unlocked' but texting/SMS as said has not been fixed (But hopefully we are nearly there ) and if you are looking to buy I have just seen a new listing for HTC Rezound on ebay for like half the price I bought mine for
Listing: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/HTC-Rezou...76961?pt=UK_Mobile_Phones&hash=item4ab501d881
£280?? what the duck is that about?? (just to let you know I bought mine for just over £420 and that was cheap then? ) Can someone tell me If I was riped off??
^^^^my mouth is watering....am hungry for a hd screen!
Don't buy the Rezound for GSM use. Wait for the HTC One X.

For me, the best screen sie is 4.3" beyond that i think its excessive. Also, the one x is not due in the market for atleast another month and when is does come out, its price will be rocket high. Again, the Rezound is the only phone with a 1280x720 res on a 4.3" screen. So i figure i take it now

I actually waited. My upgrade was available Dec 28th. At the time, it was $299, by Jan it was $199, I saw Amazon had it for $79 but I am on a company plan and couldn't figure out how to get it for that price. I got it in Feb when it dropped to $99.
Last time I went full pop on the original Dinc, didn't have root for months. Didn't want to do that again. Was a great phone, but the Rezound is much better.
More internal memory is one big plus and it is much faster than the Dinc ever was. Camera takes great macro pictures.
