Hello all!
Before I put it up at eBay, I ask the 100% target group ... ;-)
For sale is a HTC Mozart, original 16GB, unbranded, no net- or simlock, all updates, as good as new.
I have used it rarely (as alternative to TP2), as I am not happy with the MS phone policy, which finally made me switch to Android.
It was purchased Nov. 5th 2010, thus still under guarantee and comes in its original package with all accessories.
Of course you will get a pdf of the invoice.
Location is Graz, Austria. You can pick it up (or in Wien) or I send it anywhere in the world, if you reimburse shipping costs.
As of pricing I would suggest EUR 170,-- if you decide for prepayment on base of EU banktransfer.
If you pay using PayPal or VISA/MASTER/JCB/AMEX credit card, the price is EUR 175,-- to pay for the additional charges.
Shipping costs are additional and will be determined once I know where the buyer lives and which service he/she wants.
Please PM me, if you are interested.
Thank you!

I don't know if you can post those here?
If you use the search function, some turn up. None of them having any objection by the moderators.
sorry, i suppose there were a specific topic about that
but its good to know
Hi guys, I though it would be a good idea to start a threat just for everyone who placed an order through Play.com UK and paid full price.
We can use this thread to keep everyone updated on the progress of their ordered, and any updates etc; whether they are able to get it at the discounted price, full refund, partial refund etc.
I ordered a 16GB this morning at 8:30am, and order was confimed at 2:44pm and sent to packing for delivery.
Price - £349
ordered at about 5am this morning
order confirmed at 05:57
packed at about 4pm this afternoon
16GB @ £349
Mailed them asking to cancel and advised I will source elsewhere for a much cheaper price... (I imagine its too late though)
Looks like Play.com are out of stock now. I can't find the HP touchpad 16/32gb anywhere on their site. It was there a few hours ago.
I'm also waiting on a Touchpad from play.com which I bought at full price earlier today.
My gut instinct having dealt with Play earlier on similiar issues is that we'll all be returning our TP's for a full refund
Still I'm going to remain optimistic..

I'd recommend not cancelling your order just yet.
you'll be in a better position to negotiate with them once you have the product.
If you cancel before they despatch it, they won't lose anything, they'll just send it to someone else who was able to place an order.
Once you've got it, hopefully we'll be in a better position a few days after all this commotion, and they may be willing to refund the difference.
otherwise they have to go through the hassle or receiving product back, and then arranging to sell it on - probably at the reduced price.
I'm going to wait to see if mine actually comes through, then assess the situation then.
If they don't openly offer the refund, I'll put a complaint to them, and to the FSA.
their returns policy gives you 7 days to request the return or raise an issue - this is different to 7 days to actually return the item to them.
The complaint etc could last as long as you want, as long as you raise the issue within 7 days.
we should have a strong argument if we refer them to the fact they were aware on Monday that the supplier had significantly reduced the price, and that a large number of supplier not just in UK, but all across the world had reduced their prices to fall in line, and they are being unfair against the consumer by acting this way.
We could also quote things we can get - regarding their comments on Monday evening that they were aware of the price discount and were working on it, yet they chose to do nothing.
Ordered as mine was in my cart, however at time of checkout it stated not in stock.
I doubt I'll get it. however I'm also one of the wait and see's
There may be hope for us yet.
In the US - HP have agreed to refund customers the difference of all ordered purchased within 60 days of the price change.
HP are also 'leaning' on companies to offer the price match themselves.
So if Play.com don't crumble under the pressure over the next few days - maybe there is hope from HP directly.
http://www.zdnet.com/blog/mobile-ne...efund-price-differences-for-early-buyers/3857
HP apparantly informed retailers on Monday that the prices will be reduced, and requested that all retailers offer to refund the difference in the sale price.
HP also advise that it can take a few days for all retailers to act on this.
called play.com in the end and they said it was too late to stop dispatch anyway (wanted to save myself a couple of £ in postage to be honest) - they have sent me my return code and marked it as potential return
so i still have to wait for it anyway...
but the chap I spoke to I did would they not do a price comparison, or are they even considering lowering the price but he said nope. Full refund or keep at full price basically.
@danlat1415 - do you have any of that information or anyway to process that with HP as I'll consider keeping it if thats the case! I wonder if we can ping an e-mail to HP pronto to try and get some clarification from them that we can apply for refunds if the retailer won't honour it...
If I was HP and I'd told everyone to cut the price on Monday, and found out retailers were basically ignoring them (probably to pocket the profits) I'd be a bit peeved -
out of this experience, I'll definitely not be considering Play.com for anything further apart from as a last resort...
sounds like @Analogue Dude has had a similar experience before... that's the feeling I am getting now too.
I'm looking into what HP are doing for UK customers and I'll keep you updated.
It's still very early, and once order are sent out and customers start complaining in large numbers - they may change their mind.
Also depends on what action HP take over the next few days.
Play.com don't want to get bad publicity, and if all other retailers are honouring the price change, it'll be bad for Play.com to try and profit from the limited stock they have - compare to the bad publicity they'll get.
I've been hunting around the net, and this isn't the only forum complaining about Play.com's decision, so strength in numbers...
I guess the only real outside chance of getting a partial refund is if every customer who bought a TP from them returns it this week. Hopefully the logistical nightmare/expense of checking every return will push Play into offering the refunds.
As I said earlier I doubt it happens though, Play are a horrible company to do business with, I haven't used them for years and if it wasn't for this deal I wouldn't have touched them with a foot long stylus.
I'd recommend anyone who has ordered from Play.com to complete the form on the attached link for the BBC Watchdog program.
we may not get anywhere with it, but it's best to put as much pressure as we can on Play.com to honour the discounted price.

Really hope so or HP kick their ass (which I doubt will happen)
I got the impression of a very non-caring company when I called them up - to be honest, I had a good impression of them before - but only used them a handful of times... I guess its because I never had to _deal_ with them properly before and just did an order which came and had no issues...

done that - not sure how much help it will give though...
i also wonder though is it worth putting in a 'request to return' with play for everyone's who order has dispatched ? its too late to cancel, but if they have a _lot_ of requests to return and the main reason being the stupid prices... ?
Don't suppose there is a HP email addy to send concerns to? Wonder if they can confirm or deny possible refunds...
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA Premium App
As far as I know, Argos and Play.com were the only two retailers that hadn't yet offered the lower price (whether it be for a limited time, like Amazon)
But Argos has this morning now caved in and reduced their prices to £89 and £115.
This will hopefully help in the fight against Play.com
they are now the only hightreet retailer trying to greatly profit from this sale.
I'm waiting for an update from HP and I'll let you know. Waiting to hear back from their press office.
So far they have only confirmed that they'll refund direct customers, and credit the retailers.
Just waiting to find out if their credit customers of retailers who are refusing to refund the difference.
(if the retailer are being credited by HP, then they are severely taking advantage of the customer.)
As more developments happen each day, hopefully by the time the Touchpads arrive it'll all either be sorted or a lot clearer.
had an email from play.com this morning saying they would not refund the difference and only option was to keep or send it back for a full refund.... will post the email in a few
was looking for an e-mail form for hp too to submit my disappointment with play
Thank you for your reply.
We regret to inform you that we are not able to process a partial refund should there be a change of price for HP TouchPad 16GB webOS 3.0 WiFi 9.7 inch Tablet PC but we are more than willing accept the item back upon receipt for full refund.
We have two options to process a refund for this order.
First is to allow 15 banking days delivery time frame to take effect so we can provide a Not Received Claim Form and the second is to return the item upon receipt. The latter option will require a Returns Authorisation code which we will be happy to provide as soon as you contact us.
You also have the option to print a pre-payed label on-line. In order for you to return an order, please follow the step by step procedure which can be found on the link below:
http://www.play.com/Help.html?page=retn
This will prompt you to sign in on your PLAY.com account and choose the order you need to return.
We hope that this information is of some help to you. Please accept our sincere apologies for the inconvenience this matter has caused you and thank you for your patience and valued custom.
Kind Regards,
Customer Care Team

I just logged into my Play account and my order is now showing as cancelled with today's date beside it.
Card payment had gone through so I wonder what they're playing at
I'd suggest that we go protest outside Play HQ but I don't fancy going to jail for a touchpad (maybe an ipad....)
Brad from HP support said to contact UK HP support on 020 7660 0950
not really very helpful so far... i will check my play.com order - but i got an email saying it was dispatched

Thank for the update.
I too have got an email this morning confirming my order has been despatched via DHL and I've got a tracking number.
expect it to take upto 5 working days to be delivered, then I have 7 days for receipt to inform them if I wish to return for full refund.
That's approx 8-13 days to get this resolved and to put pressure on Play.com
Hello guys

Too bad you have to buy the other items with the Touchpad.
true, there have been better bundles.. but again.. 250$ for everything is still a great price..
I'm from Europe and around here there was no chance to get one @ Firesale price.. I had to pay 250€ just for the TP and a case... which still seems to be an pretty good deal to me
Thanks,
Even though they overcharge for crap you don't need, I'll still be buying one!
This deal may sell out in seconds, make sure you're sitting at your pc ready to go when it hits.
true.. monitoring the website with browser addons might also help.. I use page monitor when using chrome, which alerts me when the page is updated..
but better be prepared.. would even consider reading through the thread from the guy who wasnt able to snag one from ebay.. some people wrote down how they were able to purchase one even though they had severe problems again..
Isn't 2.30pm eastern time in 10 minutes, if so why does the countdown still show over 5 hours to go?

haven't been able to go online and watch the whole sale.. but sometimes countdown isnt showing correct.. guess that they had server issues again..
for what I see the whole sale is over now, and everything is sold out, so the sale definately took place..
Were you able to grab one?
I was just able to add one to my cart, and the checkout area says "in-stock".
Edit: The 249 one. The 299 bundle is showing as out.

I was able to add the 299 bundle to my cart just now and it showed in green text that it was in stock.
I was looking at the printer and on the right side of the page it had a link for the bundle.
I added it to cart thinking it was going to say "error" or "out of stock" but nope, let me through.
Oh well, I purchased the 249 bundle shortly after reading this post.
They still had the $249 bundle 20 minutes ago, I almost sprung for one on ebay last night, I really want that wider portrait view you get with these that the Asus and Acer lack, now see if it gets shipped
Well that's great to hear
I thought I might me too late on forwarding this..
and yeah, I too prefer it's portrait over that of Acer or Asus
I ordered one today at 3:40pm ET, and I got the order confirmed and I was surprised. I ready to buy something else and had almost given up on the touchpad. I just hope they dont cancel my order.
Wondering where everyone is getting their LTEvo's from.
sprint, because bestbuy told me three different times that they were not going to do a preorder. well I guess the workers there arent in the loop or something.
Sprint, because I have a SERO plan.
Hoping they will waive the activation fee, won't feel as bad about it if that happens.
Amazon. The $50 savings will pay for a back cover and a Anker battery.
sprint because we have the best chances of actually getting the phone on time
I have one at WireFly and one at Best Buy, cause I'm saving money unlike ordering from Sprint and paying retail plus paying shipping and taxes.
Best Buy. I got $100 worth of GC's to toss at it.
Sprint!
Paid full retail tho ~_~
Ordered from best buy on friday after work. I was very surprised that I was the 2nd pre order in westminster colorado

Sprint, since I didn't bother checking anywhere else I could've preordered.
Best buy. They told me to put 50$ down in turn they gave me a 50$ gift card to put towards the purchase of the phone
Wirefly. For $119, the price was right.

First I ordered at Best Buy on the 7th and then I learned about the WF friends and family deal so I pre ordered from there too. I'm first in a line of 6 at Best Buy.
Amazon
I ordered from Amazon, I ordered my previous smartphone from them and saved cash, turns out that it is 50 buck cheaper from Amazon than from Sprint.
Also, regarding the delay on the shipping of the EVOLTE. I emailed Amazon Customer Support and below is my original email and their response.

Hello,
I have pre-ordered the HTC EVO 4G LTE for Sprint. My order was placed
on May15th and was AmazonWireless
order number: *********** I have recently heard that there is an
issue where the shipment will be delayed for all HTC EVO 4G LTE Phones.
Could you please tell me if my order will ship on time? Also would it be
possible to get the shipping upgraded to 1Day Free instead of 2DayFree?
Thanks for your time.
-BELOW IS THEIR RESPONSE - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Hello,
We appreciate your business and thank you for your patience as we work to deliver this order to you. Our records indicate that your order is currently preparing to ship, with an estimated shipping date of May 18. Amazon is currently aware of the issues with the HTC EVO 4G, but it looks like your order should ship on time. I have also given you a free upgrade to One-Day Shipping.

Just wanted to share. If you ordered from Amazon, send them an email, to see if yours is going to be delayed. Also, I got Free 1 Day shipping
I preordered through Radio Shack, who also claimed my order would be ready for pick up on 5/18. So either the staff there are very misinformed, or I'm very lucky......LOL
Sent from my Mighty EVO 3D!
Sam's Club
I qualify for an upgrade so I looked at several places such as, Sprint, Best Buy, Radioshack, Amazon, and other authorize online Sprint carrier store. Sam's Club online by far gave me the best offer plus they offer free shipping, $10.00 Google Wallet credit, and 30 day Pre-order price guarantee all for $149.74. Not to confuse anyone but that's what I paid for an upgrade price. So I'm pretty happy with it.

Doesn't look like a thread has been opened - so here goes..
Saw the info online this morning that Best Buy was now taking pre-orders for the Lumia 920. My corporate ATT store is actually closer to where I live so I decided to stop there instead.
I was surprised to find out that even though Best Buy is doing the pre-orders - the ATT stores are not (yet). ATT reps were aware that Best Buy is taking pre-orders, however, ATT (at least this store - the largest corporate store in NE Atlanta, GA) was NOT taking pre-orders ...
Strike 1..
So - went to Best Buy instead - details:
- Best Buy is taking pre-orders at the stores and on-line (even though not advertised in the fliers).
- Pre-order is $50 (once they verified upgrade eligibility for my account). They give you a gift card - enter the reservation in the system, etc.
- In store I pre-ordered from - they are currently ONLY taking pre-orders for the matte Black color (which is fine - as I was debating between the Black and Cyan - as I don't want the glossy colors due to potential scratching, etc. - I was leaning towards black - so this just made the choice that much easier)
- Process was straightforward - I asked when I could expect it - the rep checked and noted to me that "launch day" is currently scheduled for this Friday 10/26. Since I was one of the first to order today - he expects that I'll be able to pick mine up either that day or Saturday at the latest.
Ermmmmmm! I think the rep gave you a bum steer. Windows 8 launches 26th Oct. WP8 launches 29th.

i also went to my bestbuy only black yes and no words on release date or at least we couldnt find any info on the system, didnt pre order cause i want the yellow one
I preordered mine on Bestbuy.com
Today the money came out of my bank account but I didn't get an email stating my order has been shipped. I bought the out of contract version expecting I would get it faster.
I will let you know when I get it to see if I get it earlier that way.
bestbuy.com is only accepting WP8 Pre-Orders on the HTC 8X, I don't see the 920 listed there.
Either way, I have to wait for corporate stores to get things rolling. With my corporate discount and WP8 device reimbursement from my company, I'll be getting the phone for free, but in order to do so, I'll have to jump through all the right hoops.
Besides, with my hefty discount on accessories, I hope to get some more goodies too.
Pre-order of Lumia 920 started in Finland. Best deal is 20€/month/24month or 480€ right away. Going to take this one.
Of only the norwegian suppliers can get their fingers out of their not so shiny place and give me one.
This made me switch from iOS and this delay is making me second guess it already....
