My Question : I pre ordered the HTC One X (SIM Free/Unlocked, Grey) - you have a release date of April 5th. Is this the day you ship it or the day I receive it

Answer : That is when the HTC One is released, not the date we will get them in stock. However, it won't be long before we get them.

:(
[HTC One X] R3DH3AD:
I don't think phones 4 U sales know when they will start shipping. I was told today as soon as they get them in they will send mine out. Will just have to wait and see what happens. But agree releasing the day before 2 bank holidays is bad planning.
[HTC One X] THFourteen:
Unless you receive it on the Thursday then it's great planning because you can play with it all weekend !
[HTC One X] try2:
^^That's positive thinking, right there. :D^^

3UK told me on 5th April as well.

Quidco hasn't tracked for my dialaphone order :( Have submitted a query!
[HTC One X] Audioboxer:
Almost tempted to change to white, if phoning dialaphone will be suffice (I'm not cancelling my order), but I think I'll hang on in there with grey.
[HTC One X] DomCowell:
Did you have an adblock on? That was my problem :)
[HTC One X] Dandubz:
Woohoo! My Dialaphone (Orange) order status is now "awaiting stock". I can now relax and wait patiently (yeah right) for my new HTC. Roll on the 11th! :D
[HTC One X] qpop:
I pre-ordered mine today from Three UK direct. Got a £30 credit on the bill for asking for some discount, and paying £38 for their One plan (2000 mins, 5000 txts, unltd data, unltd tethering).

The tethering was the main reason for the ridiculous plan (that, and my employer will be footing the bill).

The guy said most likely thursday for delivery, wednesday if we're lucky (he'd ordered one through their staff-phones thing and they have to wait another week).
[HTC One X] DomCowell:
Congratulations :)

May I ask when you ordered yours?
[HTC One X] manook:
I preordered mine earlier in the week from 3 and havent received a confirmation email. Have you received anything?

Also they guy said they had it in stock and it would be despatched within 48hours so im guessing they have the phones just cannot send due to release dates etc..

<update> Just rang three to query the lack of confirmation email. They state the phone will be delivered tomorrow but im not getting my hopes up. Indian call centres are usually confused. Now I remember why I left three years ago...
[HTC One X] sebbo90:
Went through dialaphone a week ago, got an email today saying there wa s a problem, apparently my address doesn't exist :/ however they put me through to phones4u you did the order. Can't understand that one, they are pretty much the same company. I guess this way I get it quicker maybe
[HTC One X] nikzDHD:
Didn't hear from dialaphone so fired them a quick email, shortly after got an email to provide proof of where I work as getting mine delivered there, sent them my business card and order now fully processed awaiting stock. Happy days just got to hope my Quidco tracks.
[HTC One X] craftycarper1:
Advertising email from DAP, saying expected delivery date is 7th April, and P4u already told me that DAP do Saturday deliveries. So heres hoping.:cool:
[HTC One X] Cicinho:
dailaphone giving me 11th of april for expected delivery on o2. Got the email today.
[HTC One X] nikzDHD:
Further good news quidco tracked as well showing as £1 but will show full amount later. Good day all round. Got quoted for 11th as well for delivery on the vodafone tariff.
[HTC One X] Cicinho:
my quidco has

23 Mar 12 dialaphone £1.00 - £50.00 Tracked

It should be £65 as I took advantage of the deal that if ordered before 25th you got 65£ cash back instead of £50
[HTC One X] west2cool:
Just got DAP newsletter which says delivery date April 7
[HTC One X] Audioboxer:
Tracks at £50, will increase to £65 once the cashback gets the all clear to be paid to you (you take out the contract successfully).

My DAP order now says awaiting stock, estimate is the 11th, and DAP just today told me the 12th on Twitter.

Seems like they don't really know :confused:
[HTC One X] chrisjcks:
Ohhhh I hope so :)

They took payment yesterday, so it must be closed to that dispatching date :)

I'm off work from 30th March - 16th April so im gonna have lots & lots of time to play with my new gadget!

However,

It's Shameful that HTC are not including beats in their flagship device though, to not ship £30 earphones (urbeats) with a £500 device is an insult.

.... Especially when beats is promoted ALOT by HTC & especially as HTC own a majority stake in beats.
[HTC One X] Dandubz:
Ordered on the 18th March
[HTC One X] Nos0x:
Are you sure about the quidco? I've never had a situation where the tracking amount and payment amount are different, or where the tracked amount has increased retrospectively.
[HTC One X] Audioboxer:
100%, that's how the promotional amounts work. £50 is what DAP usually is, it was only £65 due to promotion.

When you clicked the link to visit DAP through Quidco, the Quidco popup tells you that.
[HTC One X] Nos0x:
I must have missed that, thanks for the clarification! :-)
[HTC One X] bobmarsh72:
Just had Phones4u call me as I registered that I was ready for an upgrade. Told them I had a new contract deal through dialaphone with quidco and I doubt they could match it.

Orange

28.50 a month

600 min, unlimited texts, 1GB data

Free Medialink HD

Phone £59.99

£65 cash back

He then put me on hold, came back and offered me the same deal as an upgrade, with the Medialink, but this time a Free phone, so no need to wait for my cash back.

Wasn't going to take it, so told him I couldn't be bothered with the hassle of cancelling my other one. Even though I did wanted to keep my number.

He then was able to cancel my order from dialaphone (sister companys), and they havn't taken any money yet for the phone. I've checked my dialaphone account online and its all cancelled.

So maybe worth a try phoning these companies up to see what you could get.
[HTC One X] Audioboxer:
Good deal, same one as I'm on except I have to pay for phone. As I have no previous history or loyalty, I doubt I could shake the phone charge.
[HTC One X] skanj:
Anyone whose ordered from dialaphone have you had the money taken from your account yet?
[HTC One X] welshandy2322:
have a look under my statement on dial a phone my account. should say there
[HTC One X] try2:
Moderator: Kaz: March 28th, 2012 at 3:34 pm @ste_b – I can confirm that the HTC One X will include Beats in-ear headphones.

Which ones are these? Am I correct in thinking there are different types?

This was on the 3UK blog, where I asked about headphones. :rolleyes:
[HTC One X] flyaway9000:
Clove tweeted this...

If you want a htconex & you haven't yet ordered one from clovetechnology hurry up & do so to avoid disappointment on the first shipment.

So I went an pre ordered lool yayy cant wait :D
[HTC One X] Nit3m4re:
Which in turn is just an over glorified equaliser lol. iPhones are more expensive and come with atrocious headphones, I guess HTC like all others, feel like they don't need to do any different either. Beats headphones coming with a phone was their way of getting the Sensation noticed against the 4S and SGSII.

As for contracts, I tried to haggle with P4U today to give me more cashback so I can afford to cancel my Vodafone contract. No joy. I'll wait for the SGSIII if Dialaphone won't budge either, as that media link won't be free forever and if that goes from being thrown in then its another £80 out of my pocket for this damn phone.
[HTC One X] Aeneas:
For the Media Link, keep an eye on eBay (etc.) for the first few weeks -- I'm sure a lot of people will sell them straight away.
[HTC One X] MancUK:
This is the offer I received from Phones4U yesterday:-

One X - Free on Orange Panther

£36 per month 24 month

600 minutes

Unlimited Text

1gb Data

2gb BTOpenzone per month

2 Swappables including Sky Sports

HD Media Link

£75 cashback (cheque sent with the phone)

Confirmed Beats Audio in the box

Choice of Grey or Black phones

I originally wanted an upgrade to my T-Mobile contract but they said they no longer offer upgrades for T-Mobile.

Manc.
[HTC One X] chaps:
Anyone know where's best to get one sim free? I'm thinking of Play.com - £490 less 3.5% via quidco (£17), plus a £15p/m 12 month sim from Three with £82 back through Quidco.

24 month contracts are scary, especially with 4G just around the corner.
[HTC One X] nikzDHD:
Cheaper was the dialaphone deal, once cashback been paid cancel the contract which will exclude paying vat on remaining months would of bought it well under £500 with the benefit of a free media link thrown in. Long winded without a doubt but every penny helps!
[HTC One X] tsleng:
I have been offered an upgrade by 3 mobile going on from my current HTC desire (really getting old now this phone lol)

Got a great deal at £25/month with 'the one plan', free phone. Chose the Grey version.

Was going to wait it out till the new Samsung flagship comes out but this is too good a deal to pass.:D

Hopefully it is what they say and I'll be getting it on April 5th.
[HTC One X] try2:
£25 a month!! Why didn't I get that.
[HTC One X] tsleng:
I was initially offered £35/month with the one plan.

After some very complicated discussion about what is going to happen to my spotify premium subscription that I was getting on my current contract (at a time involving a conference call :p), they said £30.

But I wasn't convinced and say I'll take a note and call back when I am happy. That's when they said £25/month. I wasn't actually planning to sign a new contract then but that is just too good a deal to miss.
[HTC One X] try2:
Great deal.

I'll be honest here I'm a little disappointed I didn't get this kind of offer.
[HTC One X] freemantle:
I can't really see much use for it so mine will probably be going that way, together with the boombox earphones if they are included.
[HTC One X] chaps:
Thanks, but unlimited data is a must for me, which means using Three. Dialaphone do not do the One X on Three.
[HTC One X] sebbo90:
Realized I wouldn't get my quidco cash back so rang them up and they are sending me a cheque after 28 days for 65 pound :)
[HTC One X] richard_jerome:
I've gone for this:

Three, on The-One-Plan, £25, Handset £117.99 (white)

I thought it was worth a punt from affordablemobiles.co.uk through Omio or BroadbandGenie site.

Grey/black are £171.99 on same deal. Suggests to me (based on 3 only indicating they have white stock) that the white are branded and the black/grey are not.

Given where Samsung are with ICS updates on SGII on unlocked handsets vs. branded 3 handsets, I think branded might be preferrable!

Cheers

/R
[HTC One X] Evil-Dragon:
I think i might have managed to get the phone for free through dialaphone. Said the Quidco cashback wasn't working. Don't know if i'll still get the Quidco cashback but i'll try ;)
[HTC One X] nikzDHD:
Lucky you, usually you'd put in a claim at Quidco. Might still track lol.
[HTC One X] vfrvulcan:
T-Mo UK

Has anyone managed to pre-order or get a date out of T-Mo UK yet?

All I'm getting is either 'sometime in April' or 'Week beginning the 9th' and 'we don't take pre-orders'.
[HTC One X] earazi:
T-Mobile UK

I got told T-Mobile should have prices / ordering details from April 5th for new contracts and upgrades.
[HTC One X] Rzrr:
Well, Orange have "announced" the 7th April - According to the HTC UK Shop site.

I'd imagine that, likely due to the partnership for Everything Everywhere, the release date will be about that, if not the same.

However, only Orange, O2 and Vodafone are currently appearing on the HTC Website. :)
[HTC One X] combat goofwing:
I have t mobile ringing me back when they have details,my contract runs out on 31/3 but today I got a letter saying they were increasing my contract as of the 9/5(didn't think they could do that) so phoned up to give a months notice and get my pac code, straight away she offered to reduced my current contract £35 per month for 600 mins unlimited text and 3 gig data to £20 per month if i signed up for another 18 months and then ring me when the one x is out and add that as an upgrade but she couldn't tell me how much the contract would go up. I want to keep the same contract allowance and 18 month period for the same price and want the phone for free i told her .She said should would more than likely be able to do that but until its release she could not say for sure, i then mentioned the media link and she said they may have an offer with it included but again not sure
[HTC One X] r0cafella:
I'm in the same boat as you, I'm assuming your grandfathered into the OLD 3gb web and walk + deal TMO used to do?

I'd be suprised if they keep you on the 3gb plan keep us posted please
[HTC One X] combat goofwing:
i got the 3 gig as 18 month ago i got the desire HD at the time all premium Android handsets came with a 3 gig allowance 3 month later they tried and failed to remove the allowance,she said i could keep same allowance ans they now do the full monty plan as well,simple if they don't let me keep the same contract as part of the upgrade ill be offski
[HTC One X] r0cafella:
My thoughts exactly seems we got our DHD's at the same time lol.

I'm desperate to keep hold of my 3GB as well, I currently have a 20P/m 300 mins unlimited sms contract with them where I paid about 300gbp for the DHD.

I'll be looking for something along them lines to stay with TMO if not i'll head off most likely to 02 and get 30% off there as part of a deal my work has with them.

Would be gutted to lose the Data though I'll give them a ring when I get some solid numbers from 02
[HTC One X] lukeyboymac:
I'm on the old t-mobile 3gb fup and pay £15 per month (with a £5 off loyalty discount). Also get 300 mins and unlimited texts with their booster. Really don't want to lose this deal. To think I got a free Desire on launch day with this deal is insane. I'm happy to stay on this contract but really wish T-Mobile would hurry up with their pricing plans as that vodaphone 12 month contract is really tempting.

I'd actually do the 12 month vodaphone deal if I could guarantee that the phone would come sim unlocked and unbranded and also that I could pay off the contract early and save myself 20% VAT along the way. It appears that it does and that you can but no one is 100% certain which is making me nervous...
[HTC One X] r0cafella:
This might be worth considering...

After hunting around most of today i've noticed that basically all the operators only offer their larger data limits bundled with either lots of minutes i wont use or longer contracts :(
[HTC One X] combat goofwing:
That's why I'm waiting for t mob 18 months is.the longest I want to be tied in and roaming on to orange3 g / hsdpa really works for me especially at work :thumbup:

Sent from my LEEDROID powered Desire HD
[HTC One X] lukeyboymac:
Yup, that's the gutting thing. I actually only want about 200 mins and 200 texts but loads of data. Giff gaff do that.

My thinking behind the 12 month vodaphone contract from dial-a-phone is

£109 handset - £50 quidco (paid after 3 months?) = £59 handset potential

3 months at £36 = £108

9 months at £36-20% VAT (assume you can pay off contract early and save VAT - wait 3 months for quidco) =£259.20.

Meaning total cost is £426.20 and with that you also get a media link HD.

Much cheaper than buying sim free... but

1) Can you definitely save the 20% VAT if paying off early?

2) Will you definitely get the quidco?

3) Is the phone unlocked and unbranded as I'd want to use my 3gb FUP T-mobile sim?
[HTC One X] skanj:
I've done the same as well. Not sure about the vat but I'm sure people have said it is the case. My quidco has tracked. Dialaphone only send out unlocked, unbranded handsets.
[HTC One X] DomCowell:
Emailed DAP, and they are still claiming the phone will be released the 11th of April..

Apparently that is what the manufacturer has said. Err, wut?
[HTC One X] Audioboxer:
Dialaphone told me today on the CS line that the date will be the 11th :/ Was phoning up to change handset colour.
[HTC One X] ardsar:
Expansys UK are showing 100+ in stock for delivery tomorrow (grey version).
[HTC One X] earazi:
I'd have thought T-Mobile will let you renew on the same contract terms (I'm another DHD owner with the 3gb data).

I've got friends who are still on the old Flex tarriffs with international calls coming out of their minutes who have managed to renew/upgrade.

I'm guessing the issue is going to be how much T-Mobile offer for the upgrade price.

I think HTC has timed it well with all the people who bought DHD's as they were released all up for renewal at the time the One X is released.

If T-Mobile don't offer a reasonable upgrade price <£100 I'll be off... might go for the DAP Voda deal as it looks like you get 3 months unlimited data and could then either up it for £5 for 500mb or buy out your contract and move to something like GiffGaff.
[HTC One X] Audioboxer:
Should all the phones from DAP come with a micro sim instead of a full size?
[HTC One X] crimsonnight:
This sounds pretty good to me - are you talking about the £65 android handset voucher through quidco? I've never bought out a contract before, how exactly does this work and what are the costs (definitely wanna go with gifgaf)
[HTC One X] johnbhoy89:
The will send you a micro sim if your taking out a contract :)

if you are buying handset only, then you will have to contact your service provider to order a micro sim
[HTC One X] THFourteen:
Great spot. I've just ordered one for tomorrow, if it arrives then I'll buy you a beer :)
[HTC One X] Audioboxer:
Someone emailed them and even although it's showing in stock, they said the 5th. Good luck though.
[HTC One X] THFourteen:
I see, well I will wait till tomorrow before giving thanks in that case :)

I am assuming I can cancel the order and keep my amazon one if it doesn't work out.
[HTC One X] chaps:
Damn, I may have just got 'caught' by that trap too. Ordered one for tomorrow delivery. I'll keep an eye on my order status.
[HTC One X] ardsar:
I would give them a call, if they can't deliver tomorrow cancel your order.
[HTC One X] THFourteen:
Call? I hate talking to people!

In fact "calls" are probably the lowest thing I use my phone for.

---------- Post added at 12:43 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:38 PM ----------

Just checked the order tracking link and it says 7 days.

Have emailed to cancel :)
[HTC One X] skanj:
Not sure if it's significant but dialaphone took money from my account Wednesday so I'm guessing they may well ship next week.
[HTC One X] tsleng:
On a similar note, 3 mobile has charged the 1.99 delivery fee (for the phone) to my next bill. 5th of April arrival date according to CS.
[HTC One X] Audioboxer:
Same.

They're still sticking to their 11th of April delivery (website, and CS on phone told me that today), but I hope it's all just to avoid angry customers if some orders don't make it before holiday weekend.
[HTC One X] FUNKmilitia:
For those waiting to hear from T-Mobile UK

I spoke with the retentions team today who said that they would be able to offer me a free handset (in black only) on the £36 a month full monty plan.

Delivery would be 6th of April, and could be before.

The guy said that it would be worth waiting until the actual release to see whether their would be any better deals available and more information about whats in the box etc.

I have told them that I have pre ordered elsewhere but want to think things over and he is calling me back at 3.30pm today. I expect to agree to this but wanted a white handset.

Hope this was useful info from a first time poster!
[HTC One X] combat goofwing:
I want the white one so I hope t mobile get it
[HTC One X] Audioboxer:
Do they normally do white or only have black handsets? They might just be trying to flog you the least popular handset.

As for better deals, the phone is going to be quite popular, don't think much will come up in the first 6 months.

We know what's inside now, the UK suppliers/retailers saying beats are included are wrong.
[HTC One X] FUNKmilitia:
No white handsets at T-mobile for the moment.

Black only from the call I had.
[HTC One X] manook:
Just rang 3 to cancel my pre-order (took ages and they need to call me back next week as the system cannot handle preorder cancellations).

All preorders of the one x are being despatched on 4/3/12 with 3.

I cancelled as im sure there is going to be better offers.
[HTC One X] SartoriXX:
Is that an American style date as in April 3rd? Or a typo and it should be 4/4/12 ?
[HTC One X] ardsar:
Clove.co.UK have received first batch and orders placed before 3pm today will ship on 3rd April.
[HTC One X] chrisjcks:
Hey guys,

Gonna confuse everyone now,

But carphone warehouse have just phoned my mobile to let me know that the HTC ONE X does come with beats earphones. :confused:

I asked if she was sure & she went away to confirm this and came back to say it comes with either ibeats or urbeats.

Now I'm completely confused. :confused:

She did keep mentioning the flat-wired headset which isn't beats, so I don't think she knew - just guess work.

Going off videos we have seen, it doesn't come with them - just found it strange they would phone me to say it does come with them.

Hmmm.

I certainly ain't expecting them after seeing some unboxing videos, but would be great if they did.

... I still have the smallest of hope. Lol
[HTC One X] Audioboxer:
Maybe the UK are all getting beats (or at least the contract providers - maybe retail isn't)?

To be fair all the unboxings so far have been French/German/Australian.

All I can say is if you went on the record with a call, and they told you that, if they've cocked up you could end up with a little compensation if you argue your case.

Might phone up DAP and ask :p
[HTC One X] beasty54:
I'd expect the worst since videos seem to show that they don't include beats earphones. If they do include beats ...... BONUS
[HTC One X] tsleng:
Yes. On the 3 mobile blog, it is mentioned that it will come with beats in-ear phones.

:)
[HTC One X] THFourteen:
i really dont understand why beats is proving to be so important for everyone

even if it is really important think of it this way

1) Purchase iphone or Samsung Galaxy : chance of beats = 0%

2) Purchase of HTC One X : chance of beats = 5%

so if beats are that important to you, its still a no-brainer
[HTC One X] chrisjcks:
I'm certainly not expecting them, but still have a little hope.

I hope different countries offer different setups, especially as here in the UK we seem to be paying a premium.

Our sim-free price seems similar to Taiwan's deluxe version with beats solo, :confused:

If they don't come with them, I think I will complain a little stating they phoned me to say they do. - might get a little compensation for the trouble. :)
[HTC One X] try2:
Yup. It was me that asked them.
[HTC One X] Audioboxer:
Dialaphone just told me beats

https://twitter.com/#!/Dialaphone/status/185740393760043008

UK must be getting beats.
[HTC One X] chrisjcks:
Or, they are minimum wage customer service agents who don't know any better....

We'll just have to wait & see, least we still have a little hope left. Lol
[HTC One X] Audioboxer:
:P

Usually the folks running the twitter accounts are a bit more tech savvy than some of the call reps.
[HTC One X] det66:
Friend on G+ works for Currys and he says it comes with ubeats
