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.

If you're with orange and due an upgrade phones4u will do it. As far as i'm aware it's the same as upgrading through orange except phones4u get a cut.
I got the standard pack through from orange thanking me for staying with them, kept the same number etc......

WHATTTTT??? WHERE DID YOU FIND THIS????
I called and spoke to some really nice woman and she checked on their internal "coming soon" list and said that, she can see the GSII will be coming but no date. (This is in spite of the fact the "consumer" websites says June)
So where did you see that you can get it from them direct?
(My contract is such, that I could only do a straight call-up and delivery (regular) upgrade.)
I first saw it as an option when i logged into t-mobile.
Called them literally 2 hours ago and they were offering some horrendous £35 plus contracts for the handset...

Sorry to be so immature BUT OMG!!! Things must have changed since literally a few days ago!
I'm going to try and log in now. (I'm on my dad's business contract so hopefully it will cover it )
And as for the price, it is indeed a very expensive phone.
I've phoned T-Mobile up twice and both times, I've been told they're stocking them, but their internal "coming soon" doesn't actually have a release date!
However the GSII, is on their website.
So if anyone orders from T-Mobile directly, could they please inform us, and when it actually gets delivered??

I did try, but the shop here couldn't process the order.
I phoned on Saturday, they said they'd got a shipment that very morning. Mine should arrive tomorrow; I'll be happy to answer any questions
Worth noting that if you order online or over the phone, you get a 7 day cooling off period, so if you don't like T-Mobile, or your contract, or the phone, or your cat's reaction to the phone or anything else, you can send it back and the contract goes away
Source:
http://www.t-mobile.co.uk/common/returns_policy.html
From what I've read, this does not apply instore. When I first signed up with T-Mobile 18 months ago in a brick-and-mortar store, I asked about this.
Me: "Do you have a cool-off policy?"
Sales guy: "Yes, we have a policy, and that policy is that we have no cool-off period."

I phoned T-Mobile up on Friday evening and they said they have just got in a delivery of SGS2's so I upgraded to it.

[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...

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.

[Q] Has anyone in the World got a Full Retail Pebble Blue Unit??

Only post here if...
You have received via pre-order or from a retail outlet a Full Retail Pebble Blue Unit.
I think we need to ascertain if there are any at all.

As I mentioned on another post I actually called CPW this morning and they confirmed my Blue one was ok for delivery tomorrow morning.
I then saw the announcement on their website and there is now after talking to them ZERO chance of seeing it for many weeks.
Really unimpressed with them.
it seems the white one is available may have to go for that.

If you pre-ordered I doubt you will be able to get a white one, I went into the Vodafone shop today to ask the same thing, and they said the only way they could do it is if I set up a whole new contract for a white one then refused the delivery of my blue one.

You are lucky then, Vodafone wouldn't budge at all for me, so I have no choice but to wait. It's annoying as my sister is waiting for my old phone as well, so she is going to nag and moan to me every day until it arrives and then I am going to have to book another day off work short notice to collect it.
handtec gave me the option for a white one as well, that will ship today hopefully
Damn, I just started a thread about this.
I changed to white with the CPW today. My current contract terminates on the 6th, so can't wait to get my new contract. Plus I'm an impatient child.
The guy at CPW did say that the few blue units they received seemed fine and is not sure what the defect is.
He was surprised when I said I heard about it as a rumour some weeks ago through XDA. He didn't know what XDA was and insisted they only found out there COULD be a problem earlier this week.
My argument was that he indicated they lacked supplies of the blue model, so wouldn't have been able to deliver on their promise anyway and asked if they where never going to have enough blue models then why, even up to yesterday, they told me its all good?
No comment from the guy other than, your change to the white model has been processed and SHOULD be with you by Thursday.

Anyone had a delivery from play.com?

Anyone?
Not impressed that it's gone from being told on the phone that I'd have it today to it now showing as "Awaiting stock". If I'd known they were going to mess around like this I could have had one from any number of places by now.
Unlucky. Most things I order are delayed from them so I tend to get mine from elsewhere nowadays .
I do know that the blue ones have been delayed somewhat though .(not just for play) but it should arrive in the next week or so...

Ordered blue from play, but obviously not shipped, same as everyone else.
I'll keep my order with play as they have the best deal, free case and screen protector.
Yes many times, they offer a good service.
I'm guessing you got the blue? (by "got" I mean pre-ordered) nobody is getting the blue yet, or at least a lot of people aren't. Samsung had to make 600,000 recalls due to a faulty back cover.
No, I'd ordered the white.
In the end I've given up and cancelled the order. Ordered one from CPW instead. I collect it from the shop after lunch today.
Just had another look on the Play.com website and they are now saying
Please note: We've been made aware of a delay from Samsung of the Marble White Galaxy SIII. We're expecting additional stock to arrive on 1st week in June. All Play.com pre-orders will be fulfilled on a first-come, first-served basis

Play.com delivering S3 via DPD
I got an email from saying S3 would be delivered on the 6th and a tracking link for DPD site. They also said in the email that I would also be able to see the delivery hour on the tracking site.
There was no tracking events this morning on the site and no 'Delivery Hour'
I rang play.com and they said they don't know why I was told it would be delivered today because of the 'bank holiday'.
They now say it will be delivered tomorrow, so I will have to arrange for someone to be in again tomorrow, and we all know how irritating that is.
I expressed my irritation to the play.com operative and told them to raise it with team leader.
S3 originally ordered 4th May and subsequently changed from Blue to White when delays were apparent.

UK release date confirmed

So, I pre ordered a C6833 from Clove what seems like an eternity ago & they finally have a date of when the handsets will be shipping. According to their site update this morning: First stock confirmed arriving 12th September, for dispatch on the 13th. Its a shame they'll be shipping out on a Friday as you can almost guarantee that means they'll arrive on Monday rather than Saturday.
I'm sure Sony will confirm this launch date later today in Berlin.

Well even if yours arrives on Monday you'll be pleased anyway to have a SmartWatch 2 and a SBH20 FOR FREE!
I have to check here for some offers, because 612 GBP plus 26 GBP (s&h) will result in like 750 euros, which is A LOT.
BUT, official Italian Sony site says the base price for the Z Ultra s 729 euros, so I guess I'll have to think about it, given that here a SW2 would cost 199 euros...
I have a friend going to NY mid September, but even with the exchange at 1.35 it wold cost me more than that...
What to do... What to dooooooooo??
EDIT: now that I've seen samsung and Sony (ironically my S3 writes the two initial "s" as I wrote them ) conferences, I'm more than ever convinced on the ZU.
Other than that, buying the ZU from Clove seems a real deal, but I wanted to ask some of you if they have had previous experiences, as in if I incur in some problems, will they change my device, are they reliable? Do they answer promptly to email (as I'm in Italy, I won't be phoning but emailing instead)?

This is my first purchase from Clove although they have been on my radar for a couple of years now so I can't help you with return issues sorry. I did however email them a few times with nagging questions about when they would be expecting the ZU to arrive etc. TBH they took over a day to respond to my emails. They did respond every time & but it wasn't as quick as I'd of liked. Speaking to them by phone seems to be the best method as they have always been polite, helpful & quick to answer any questions.
It does seem like an excellent deal when comparing the freebies from Clove & the prices other retailers are selling just the handset for...

I bought one white ZU (plus SmartWatch 2 and SBH20, luckily it's written on the receipt so no one could tell me "you weren't in time" ), and a DK30 dock for a total of about 674 GBP, a little more than 800 EUR. According to the Sony official site in Italy, I would have spent a little less than 1K EUR, so that's a real deal for me.
What I don't understand is, as this is a preorder (well, part of it, since the DK30 is in stock right now), why they billed me for the full order right away.
I was under the impression that there were a complex following of security questions, and that the billing would be when the product is actually in stock, but I may have misunderstood that.
Could you confirm that when you go to your account, under your order it says "BACKORDER"?
I thought it meant that they had a product and they don't anymore, but maybe they use it as in "we don't have it", full stop.
Waiting for your confirmation...

Yeah, mine says the same... I ordered a sbh52 before I'd ordered the handset as I knew I was going to get it any way & that says preorder but the handset says backorder.

Ok, thanks, you really relieved me.
I assume that either they have a lot of handsets on the way, or they didn't have many orders until now.
Anyway, I don't care as long as I have my handset for monday/thursday (I chose FedEx, they're usually quick...)...

I ordered the ZU from Clove ages ago and took payment then so nothing to worry about.
Eagerly awaiting its arrival. What colour did you guys go for? I went for white (my first white Xperia), as it looks more premium than the black version. Which ones did you go for?
I went for black. My Note 2 was white (first white handset I've owned) & I always regretted it when I saw the grey version...
I'll put up with the finger print magnet black this time

I have to say I'm still in two minds - I love the white aluminium finish on the sides and the back will show fingerprint marks less.
However, I'm not keen on the front of the device with the white border, which takes away some of the immersion when viewing content.
I'm in half-a-mind to change, but can't decide. I've been umming and ahhing for days now!
Almost had the same thought - use one of the light backcovers if blacks back is freaking you out.
Giving you the generally harmonious design of the black version, and leaves you alone with cleaning session if you're bugged of it.
Very close to switching my order now, the more I think about it, I think black will be better overall. The XZU will go into a case anyway, so the fingerprint problem isn't too much of an issue.
I just opened an account and ordered the C6833 LTE from here.

Personally I'll be selling the free accessories, so all in ill be paying £400ish for the device.
But seriously dude even if people were paying double that, just let them spend their money as they see fit, its no concern of yours.

Not in my country I'm not. In my country it costs ~£640, I bought it from Clove at 675, but while in my country I would have had only the handset, with that money I paid the handset, a SmartWatch 2, a bluetooth headset SBH20, a DK30 dock, and I also paid for priority shipping.
I won't sell the accessories simply because I would have bought them anyway, so, for me, this is saving money, not "paying stupid money".
You wanna get it in February when it costs 450? Suit yourself, nobody is telling you what to do.
And by the way, I've seen people spending three times what was worth a PlayStation 1 when it first came out just to buy it on D1, and the same thing happens over and over again with hundreds of items, so go and wait for a price cut while we stand in line to get our first batch.

So, I pre ordered a C6833 from Clove what seems like an eternity ago & they finally have a date of when the handsets will be shipping. According to their site update this morning: First stock confirmed arriving 12th September, for dispatch on the 13th. Its a shame they'll be shipping out on a Friday as you can almost guarantee that means they'll arrive on Monday rather than Saturday.
I'm sure Sony will confirm this launch date later today in Berlin.
I also ordered my XZU way back in early August(Seems like forever) and saw the confirmed date...I had messaged Clove just after that date was posted and they replied that they still did not have a confirmed date from Sony, so I don't know what to make of this and will hope that this is indeed true....
