It's be very specific in what you want, if they can't match it they will give you your pac code.

Infact they can't refuse to give you your pac code so don't worry too much, the frustrating bit is waiting in the que
[HTC One X] DaveDesire:
Yeah, I haven't heard anything from them yet. How did they send you your PAC number anyway? The guy I spoke to just told me it over the phone. When I've done it previously they've send it via email or txt. Thought they would have to send it that was so it is logged.

I had no problems with them prior to this either, but I just thought they would've at least been competitive since I've been with them for many years.
[HTC One X] BaZ87:
I was told over the phone and straight after I hung the phone up I received a text and I got it in the post a couple of days later too.
[HTC One X] gaiden0000:
Just got a text from Three UK saying that my phone has been shipped and I have a consignment number, checked the website and it is on next day delivery in the local DPD hub.
[HTC One X] Dark Fire:
In case anyone is wondering about Amazon's progress, I ordered mine at approx. 3am on the 31st and it was dispatched 12 minutes ago. Can't wait! :D
[HTC One X] try2:
Same here!
[HTC One X] dainesefreak:
I called T-Mobile and got my PAC this morning. He asked if he could try to beat my deal, after a few minutes tapping away on the keyboard he just gave me the PAC. Didn't even mention any competing deals so I assume they couldn't get anywhere near.

Later in the afternoon I had a phone call from "The Management Team". Asked me why I was leaving and could they offer a deal. After I described the P4U deal she just said I hope you enjoy your new phone :)

Been with them for a while and that was it. I think they know they missed the boat and can't compete.
[HTC One X] vinfromuk:
Carphone Warehouse won't let me reserve a grey one as they have "limited stock" in store. Hoping that when I can get in on Friday the guy I went to school with is working, maybe he'll make it a bit easier for me to buy one outright if they're being funny about it.

I need to get a PAC code from O2 so I can go to Giffgaff without changing my number - anyone know if this is possible before my upgrade date comes up? Officially can't cancel/upgrade until the 13th. I'll change my number if I have to, but it'd be easier if they'll let me go.
[HTC One X] trickyhenry:
You can cancel when you like but they'll charge you. Probably 1 month line rental owed I guess.
[HTC One X] riz157:
Mobilephonesdirect screwed up my contract. Being an existing T-Mobile customer I applied for an additional line 6 days ago. Rang T-Mobile said not a problem I can get upto 5 lines. 11:30 today get an email from mpd sorry my application was declined!! Apparently mpd had requested credit check for new customer which will get declined as i'm an existing customer.

Aaaarggghhh I.then rang up buymobilephones.net who actually processed my order within couple of hours and dispatched handset today for delivery tomorrow. No problems at all but mpd annoyed me no end and there procedures or lack of is probably going to effect my credit ratings.

As far as HTC one x is concerned i should be getting it tomorrow.......sorry for the rant.
[HTC One X] OysterCatcheRR:
Also with three, and got my text message with the parcel number to check on the DPD website.

All was fine and dandy, just got back from the pub to check the number and for some reason my phone is in BIRMINGHAM when I live in West London. WTF??? My hungover self tomorrow will be in no state to deal with misdeliveries and ****-ups if it means my One X wont be cradled in my arms by the end of the evening :( :(
[HTC One X] DaveDesire:
I wouldn't worry mate, DPD's main hub is in Brum. I've ordered stuff from local places (in the North East) and they've gone down to Birmingham first before coming back up here to the Newcastle depot
[HTC One X] OysterCatcheRR:
Mate you are a LEGEND! THanks for saving me a lot of needless mental stressing! This phone has taken too damn long to arrive!!!!

Google Music Update: 2633 of 3003 songs uploaded after about 54 hours....
[HTC One X] SartoriXX:
That's where mine is too so yep, normal place for it to be, shouldn't worry :)
[HTC One X] isaw:
Finally got mine up and running now after cutting up my existing bulky SIM card into the shape of a micro SIM. Should have read the spec better...

Anyhow - very quick and very smooth. Plus the touchscreen response time seems vastly improved over my old desire HD and my current Asus Prime.

Like the Modaco review, the HTC sense 4 doesn't feel overbearing or clunky. It's actually pretty smooth and feels very "native" in a way. As tho it sits in unison with ICS rather than try to hide it away from you.

I've disabled the apps I don't want like facebook, tweeter (or is it tw4ter?) and the like. Options like that mean I am less likely to root my phone when I have more control over the built in apps unlike before.

Face Unlock seems to work. Never had it before or tried it and so far - seems ok. Unless it just works better on ugly people :)

Still customising it, as all android users do (and enjoy that lovely, wonderful, privilege) but am really, really enjoying it.

FYI - mine was bought sim-free, unlocked and has no branding of any kind.
[HTC One X] dannysmith43:
Has any P4U pre-orders had any emails about dispatch or delivery yet? I bought my One X through DAP but they said the deal was with P4U....would of had it today had it of been DAP!!!! Any word? I've had nothing other than the delayed media adapter link!
[HTC One X] dewhurst88:
nope i still havent had any confirmation on delivery yet and my order is with phones4u i only pre ordered cause i wanted it on launch day with my media link but since neither is here im gonna cancel and pick one up in stores today. was already thinking about it after the media link email...
[HTC One X] WESBAR:
Thats all i've had too mate. have also been told it would be despatched yesterday to then be later told that they had no stock of the white!
[HTC One X] dainesefreak:
Better than me, I've not even had the delayed Media Link email yet. Did a web chat with P4U in the morning and late afternoon yesterday and they were saying that my white One X will be with me by the 7th. Hmmm, not believing it.

Might wait until lunchtime and call a couple of stores to see what the stock is like and then pop out and pick one up.
[HTC One X] maverick1103:
Just checked my tracking number with Royal Mail and its out for delivery today! Shame I have work in an hour, everything crossed it comes before I leave in half hour. :)
[HTC One X] dannysmith43:
I would happily pick one up from a store but it was a really good upgrade deal....won't be able to match it for sure, plus no media link...
[HTC One X] dewhurst88:
i went with the vodafone 12 month deal with phones4u cause of the free media link but its not coming for like 28 days so thinking ill go in my local vodafone store were they do the exact same deal but ill get a discount cause have my dad and bro with them already and will get free beats headphones instead of the media link and just buy the media link in a month when it is actually released.
[HTC One X] dainesefreak:
I ordered the Vodafone 12 month deal with P4U. I'm not bothered about the Media Link to be honest as I've already got the MHL lead I bought for my SGS2.
[HTC One X] gaiden0000:
Just got a text from Three to say it should be with me between 11 - 12. Let the count down begin.
[HTC One X] SartoriXX:
Yep, mine's an hour after you so all looking good!
[HTC One X] Goku80:
anyone on three getting any special accessories with the phone please guys?
[HTC One X] try2:
Mine is in Birmingham too at midnight. Im in Northern Ireland. No message of what time it'll be delivered. I hate waiting. :banghead:
[HTC One X] dannysmith43:
...and mine is likely turning up 5 days later than that!!! Might have a look around :(
[HTC One X] dainesefreak:
P4U have changed both grey & white from pre-order to buy now, no mention of delivery dates.
[HTC One X] OysterCatcheRR:
No text yet for me :( Although my phone is now in Southall Woop!

@Terminator - no special accessories like the HD Media Link unfortunately :(
[HTC One X] gaiden0000:
I'm with Three, and sadly not getting anything with it. How many of you going to actually fully charge the phone before using it?
[HTC One X] Goku80:
i know i said this earlier in the thread but one of the main reasons i am also getting this handset over the S3 is due to the user experience. I know the S3 might come with better specs but overall it is not down to that. It is about how you use the phone. And for me will be more media orientated as i love listening to my music on the go. And the reason i went for it was having the beats earphones. Do you think anyway i could bargain with 3 to send them out to me maybe?

i know it may sound like a lost cause but if i do not try i do not know correct guys?
[HTC One X] OysterCatcheRR:
Hahaha, good question! Lots of conflicting advice about it, as you apparently dont need to condition Li-Pol batteries.. I will probably charge it, but break midway through and play with it :(
[HTC One X] chrisjcks:
Mine is about half hour away - but I know they have other deliverys to make other than mine.. Grrr lol :)
[HTC One X] OysterCatcheRR:
Doubtful tbh. If you could find proof that three had said your phone was coming with beats headphones, and then tried to return your phone saying they hadn't fulfilled what they had led you to believe they would be giving you - then.. MAYBE you would get some kind of compensation.

Thing is, is it really worth it to waste time over some not particularly good headphones that you can get on ebay for like 25 quid?
[HTC One X] west2cool:
Nothin, only that same email about media link a couple of days ago
[HTC One X] Goku80:
yeah you are probably right buddy..you would of thought they would have those in them though due to it being the flagship phone...never mind still getting the beats audio in them which i know is just an equalizer but still;)

by the way what do you guys think about this camera issue i been reading about..some people have scratched the lens already
[HTC One X] OysterCatcheRR:
Yeah it doesnt sound ideal, just means I am going to use a sock instead of a case and that I have to be a bit more careful.....
[HTC One X] pikesmatrix:
I pre ordered mine through mobile phones direct on 13 march and their site assured me I'd receive it on launch day. I now am pretty certain that I won't be getting it today as their tracking status still says "ready for dispatch". I won't get it now until at least Wednesday next week . Well gutted! I was really excited.
[HTC One X] DomCowell:
At a dental practice until 10ish, parcel expected at anytime today.

Praying to god they don't come until 10!
[HTC One X] OysterCatcheRR:
I feel for your dude :(

But you never know, there is still hope! Don't give up just yet!!
[HTC One X] beasty54:
I've literally just had my despatch email come through from P4U and since its before 9am, i would assume its just a late email and the phone was sent yesterday.
[HTC One X] dainesefreak:
That a white one mate?
[HTC One X] gaiden0000:
You should be getting Beat ear phones if you pre-ordered with Three. Quoting from one of their moderators on the One X blog I can confirm that the HTC One X will include Beats in-ear headphones
[HTC One X] Goku80:
wooohooo:D:D nice one matey...should of asked them but thought it would be coming with it anyway...well today should be the day my baby comes so i will find out soon...bloody slept from 8pm last night just so i could get my phone sooner:D:D
[HTC One X] dannysmith43:
Hope!!!!!

Nothing for me yet tho
[HTC One X] riz157:
That's shocking manager rang me himself yesterday as they screwed my order and promised I would get my phone today if I kept my order. So I'm surprised you won't be getting phone today.
[HTC One X] beasty54:
No, a grey one
[HTC One X] gaiden0000:
Yep, check out: http://blog.three.co.uk/2012/02/26/htc-one-x-is-coming-to-three/ and look for the post by Moderator: Kaz on March 28, 2012. If you don't get the headphones you could probably argue that this made you go with the contract and see if they can do anything for you if you don't get the headphones.
[HTC One X] Goku80:
will do mate thanks i just checked it out and i could actually use that as a case....i mean like i said not a big deal but it is one of the reasons i decided to go with this phone due to the fact the earphones
[HTC One X] pikesmatrix:
Now that's that's dedication.lol
[HTC One X] riz157:
Just tracked my parcel its about an 1hr away. Nice one buymobilephones for sticking to your commitment.
[HTC One X] try2:
It was me that asked so i would have it on record. Just in case.

Again I'm fully aware about the Beats gimmick but still. It's a flagship device.
[HTC One X] dainesefreak:
Ok cheers.

Think I may be calling the sales team in a few minutes to see when my white is due to be dispatched. If it hasn't gone already or due out today I might knock it on the head and go out and pick one up.
[HTC One X] dewhurst88:
let us know what they say cause if there not going out today im gonna be doing the same myself.
[HTC One X] jonstatt:
Is that specific to three though, or all HTC One X's include Beats earphones? I think the Sensation XE always came with them
[HTC One X] GetScopedx:
just received a text from three confirming that my order is out for delivery between 12:00 and 1pm today :D
[HTC One X] dewhurst88:
ok iv just spoken to to phones4u again.... and this is what he said about my WHITE htc one x

Stephen F says:

Hello Daniel Dewhurst. You are speaking to Stephen F. How can I help today?

Daniel Dewhurst says:

hey steven i was just wondering what was going on with the delivery of my new one x people iv spoke to have said they have had confirmation theres are gonna be delivered today and iv heard nothing about it even being dispatched

Stephen F says:

Great news your order was despatched yesterday on a next working day delivery service. We do advise to allow 3 to 5 working days to receive in case of any delays whilst in transit. If you do miss delivery the order will go to your local delivery office for collection. Currently we do not have a tracking number for the order as this can take up to 48 working hours to be added to the account.

Daniel Dewhurst says:

so it was it was defiantly sent out yesterday... its just iv been told like 4 different things on the phone and im just excited to get it lol

Stephen F says:

I can confirm it was definitely sent out yesterday for you Daniel. Is there anything else I can help you with today?
[HTC One X] qpop:
For those of you pre-ordering on Three and stuck at work, here's what I did:

I called Three and obtained the tracking number for the parcel.

I contacted my local DPD depot (check here for details) and asked them to hold it for pickup.

They have to make one delivery attempt (due to fraud worries), but if you turn up after work with your driving license (proof of ID/address) and they'll note your car registration for security reasons, and then provide you with your beautiful beautiful phone.
[HTC One X] dainesefreak:
I called and was told that it would be with me by the 7th. It looks like it hasn't been dispatched yet as I was told it could go out today or tomorrow. When I pointed out that it was Good Friday tomorrow and Royal Mail aren't working he still insisted that it would be sent and with me for the 7th.

Why am I not a believer??
[HTC One X] dafadau:
I'm still waiting on any communication at all from affordablemobiles... assuming they're as bad as I think, does anyone have any ideas on the best places to pick one up SIM free in person?
[HTC One X] tsleng:
The thing with him is that he is talking bollocks lol:D

You can see him saying they don't sell the grey version as well, which isn't the case.

My grey is due to arrive in a few hours time
[HTC One X] Audioboxer:
Check the One X here - http://www.affordablemobiles.co.uk/top-deals.html

"In high demand" aka, they'll tell you it's out of stock (even if you pre-ordered). Up to a week for delivery now.

I mean the Xperia S is still out of stock on their site. Really crappy provider, last time I'll ever use them.
[HTC One X] jonstatt:
My HTC One X (White) from Carphone Warehouse sim-free sent via Yodel just arrived. Switched it on, no stuck pixels, but very slight backlight bleed at the bottom of the screen when on max brightness (during switch-on) on a black screen.

No fancy earphones in the box....just cheapo ones.
[HTC One X] dafadau:
That's highly annoying as I pre-ordered some time ago... last time I'll use them too - will cancel my order shortly I think.

Does anyone know if CPW will have them SIM free in store today?
[HTC One X] dewhurst88:
Finally received my email confirming that my order has been dispatched from phones4u of my HTC one x in white!!
[HTC One X] OysterCatcheRR:
Still no text from Three, but DPD is saying 2:56 - 3:56..

WTF DPD! Putting me last on your list!?? That isnt cool! :(

@jonstatt - is the backlight bleed noticeable? SOmething worth gettting an exchange fior?

Hello cornel westfield. My name is Charlotte B how can I help you?

cornel westfield says:

hi

cornel westfield says:

can you confirm if my order has been dispatch yet

Charlotte B says:

Sure :) Can you please confirm the first line of your address Cornel?

cornel westfield says:

5 sidmouth sq

Charlotte B says:

That's great thank-you :) I have just taken a look into your order for the HTC One X. Your order was despatched yesterday and Royal Mail's special delivery service is next day delivery so it should be with you on the next working day. We advise a maximum time of 3 to 5 working days just in case the couriers come across any unforeseen problems with the delivery. Can I help with anything else today?

cornel westfield says:

thanks lotte

Charlotte B says:
[HTC One X] maverick1103:
You can try but our store has only received a couple and tbh most managers won't sell them Sim Free as store makes money on contracts etc....sorry but just wanted to be honest with you!
[HTC One X] dainesefreak:
When did you order mate? Ordered mine on Monday. I now have the Phones4U number for the shop down the road on my screen and considering calling to check their stock.

Good old Charlotte B, did two web chats yesterday and she was on both. ;)
[HTC One X] west2cool:
27 march i ordered white
[HTC One X] R3DH3AD:
Just check with phones for you and mine was sent yesterday. No email and no one in. Gutted.:mad: Will have to get on Saturday morning now.:D
[HTC One X] dainesefreak:
Cheers, you were in well before me. Thing I find hard to swallow is that they are still saying 7th or before and saying it could still be dispatched tomorrow if it doesn't go out today. Good Friday, really?? I'm fairly sure Royal Mail aren't working.

I explained that we are potentially going away for the weekend but if it's going to arrive on Saturday we would go afterwards. I would just like a straight answer now, if it's next week fine, at least I could make a decision.
[HTC One X] leith51:

[HTC One X] det66:
Confirmation email from p4u.

Your order has now been completed and will be despatched this evening by Royal Mail Special Delivery, who will deliver pre 1:00pm on the next working day.

*If this email is sent on a Saturday, Sunday or Bank Holiday then your order will actually despatch on the next working day, and be delivered on the working day after that.

** Royal Mail are used for all orders that contain a single item. If your order should contain a handset and a free gift, then your order will be delivered by a courier and may be between 8am and 8pm
[HTC One X] west2cool:
P4U seems fishy these days, soon after my web chat a dispatch email arrived.
[HTC One X] hughesgj:
I phoned up affordable mobiles yesterday when i read the rumours about the delay in postage not being until after easter, when i requested to cancel the lad assured me this was not the case and it would be sent out yesterday and delivered this morning. he said i'd recieve an email confirming or if there was a problem he'd phone me back. So i stuck with it. Fail

received no email last night or a call back.

just phoned them there for a 'chat' the lassie that answered...well...she was about as helpful as stephen hawking's football boots. a shambles. after a while she apologised and confirmed there is a delay and to expect it middle end of next week. they are putting all the blame on to 3, not their fault at all apparently. bollocks!

really poor customer service! anger doenst begin to describe my feelings

i used them to pre order my xperia S, it arrived 4 days after it was on sale in the shops, ordered about 2 weeks prior to sale. due to battery issue's this was returned and i waited for the one X, again pre ordered. so i have pre-ordered twice through them and both times neither has arrived on time/at all. no point in their pre order service at all!

last time i will ever use this company. some of the worst customer service going and that's saying something.

as i took the day off work for the signatire i will just have to pop into town and see if i can pick one up from a store. dont mind paying that extra wee bit more just to get the phone today.
[HTC One X] DaveDesire:
I placed an order with Phones4u yesterday but hadn't had a single email from them (confirmation or otherwise).

Just spoke to them to confirm my order and find out what the latest was. They said it was in the warehouse awaiting despatch and expect it in 3-5days. I asked if I could pick one up from one of their stores instead but apparently you can't do that with phone orders :(

They said it'll be sent with RM Special Delivery so hopefully it'll be here Sat.

Oh and when I spoke to them on the phone yesterday, they said (after checking) Media Link would be sent out with the phone. Still haven't received any emails from them. I want to confirm the deal I got!
[HTC One X] Goku80:
received the phone just now.. no beats earphones..:( just the cheap ones:mad: oh well on the phone to see if i can get them to send me one:D worth a try
[HTC One X] Audioboxer:
Did they say why 3 is 'holding them up' ? End of next week is unacceptable, might get on the phone and show my annoyance. If I'm waiting that long I'd like some sort of compensation for their shortcomings.

Sadly they are the only place that can give me unlimited data at a reasonable price. I'm going to be using Google Music which may easily chew up near 1GB a month on it's own.
[HTC One X] Rittzy:
Your order has now been completed and will be despatched this evening by Royal Mail Special Delivery, who will deliver pre 1:00pm on the next working day.

I am very excite!
[HTC One X] OysterCatcheRR:
Ooh nice! Did you get grey or white??

Also, let us know how your headphone hunt goes :P
