My order in Amazon is now Preparing for dispatched.

I am praying to not receive a defect unit, since my friend who is receiving the package is returning to Brazil next week...

Let's pray together!
[HTC One X] visor:
Called by the Three store and told I could collect it today. Went in, sat down for 30 minutes while the sales bod struggled to scan the IEMI and then call the head office only to be told that they aren't available until tomorrow on release day - contrary to their 'pre orders first' line.

So - I saw my phone, in it's box, but do not currently have it. Grrr

Poor show by Three IMHO.
[HTC One X] beasty54:
This is the only reason i get REALLY annoyed with companies, its not that i have to wait, its just that people ordering 3 weeks after me are getting there's despatched before mine??
[HTC One X] dainesefreak:
Well I'm holding out for my white one from P4U. I took me long enough to decide to go for the One X rather than hang on for the SGS3 and then I couldn't decide between the colours and finally went for white, so now I'm committed.

Well until lunchtime tomorrow and if I haven't got my dispatch notice I'm out around town on the hunt. :)
[HTC One X] nickhuk:
haha did he then tell u blatant lies "ohhh actually we dont have any stock at the moment" :p
[HTC One X] Zipperface:
Yep HDL are pretty shocking!

Went to work one morning, a few days after new year & my dads fishing rods (boxed) were sticking out of the wheelie bin in plain sight of anyone walking past.. i kid you not:eek:

Turns out they "tried" to deliver them at 12:30ish am! got no answer, so left them in the bin... the card they put through the door just had the word 'bin' on it:confused:

Luckily i have the day off tomorrow. So i may get a deck chair out & sit out front waiting for the "delivery" man to throw my One X into the garden as he drives past :D

I was unsure whether Swapables would count towards the Orange Data limit, and now have a confirmation from some guy on Orange online chat. This was my question: "I have a query about Orange Swapables. Some of the servies look brilliant like Deezer and Sky Mobile TV. However, I was wondering if these services will count towards your data limit (which is minimal at 1GB as it is), as if so, they are somewhat useless. Thanks"

ford0v1: Hello Dominic, you're chatting to Ben.

Dominic: Hi Ben.

ford0v1 is typing.

ford0v1: So, Swapables...

ford0v1 is typing.

ford0v1: Any data used as part of the Swapable itself will not take data off of your inclusive allowance so no worries there!!

Dominic: Oh excellent, and I assume Swapables will all work on mobile data (obviously you would need a decent probably hspa connection, maybe 3g)

ford0v1 is typing.

ford0v1 has stopped typing.

ford0v1 is typing.

ford0v1: They would work on 3G, definitely any Higher Speed connection and although it would work on 2G but not very well!

-----

Excellent news, as I now have no doubt over running out of data space :) 1GB should do fine for general XDA/Tapatalk browsing, occasional youtube fid, fb etc - 33.33mb a day?
[HTC One X] nickhuk:
HAHA more like rocking chair and shotgun. Texas style
[HTC One X] Rittzy:
and i cancelled my pre-order off amazon to get it off P4U :( but I am committed talking to an agent right now for the status of the order!

EDIT:

Rich B says:

I can see that your order is in our warehouse, currently waiting to be despatched.

Please be dispatched tonight :(

On P4U website the 'white' is down for delivery on 11/4
[HTC One X] dainesefreak:
That's why I called to reconfirm, it was the 7th when I ordered on Monday. I'm still being told the 7th.
[HTC One X] WESBAR:
I've spoken to P4U twice today on webchat. first time at 4.30pm I was told that stock had been received (white), the upgrade had been processed and that my phone would likely be despatched today. spoke to them again just now and the guy told me that stock was not due in till 7/4 (saturday???) and it would take 5 dyas for delivery after that. who's lying?
[HTC One X] DaveDesire:
Ok, after a lengthy conversation and some tough negotiations (:D) with Phones4u, this is what I ended up with...

12-month contract with Vodafone

£36p/m

300mins

Unlimited txt

500MB (yeah I know, not great but it shouldn't be a problem for me (and it's unlimited for the first 3 months))

£140 for the phone

£30 cheque in the post to me

Free Media Link

So total cost is £542 which is pretty good especially as I would've been buying Media Link anyway. My main thing was making sure it was just a 12-month contract.

In fairness they were very helpful, and T-Mobile just weren't despite me being a customer with them for the past 6-7 years.

She said it'd be delivered Saturday despite me asking if it could be delivered tomorrow (she even checked with her manager).

Oh and I went for the white handset at the start of the conversation, in the end I decided on GREY. Just thought the novelty would wear off the white.
[HTC One X] det66:
Fingers crossed for you then mate
[HTC One X] Audioboxer:
I changed my order to affordable mobiles, pretty gutted they're going to screw us over - Or 3 are. One of the two are holding back our orders.

Still, a 24 month contract is for 24 months, I can wait the easter break out to make sure I get the contract I want (unlimited data). Pretty impressed with the 20,000 song quota for Google Music which I will now most likely fill up and stream to my phone - Phone internal space can be used for apps/games.

They emailed me today (CS reply, not despatch notice) saying it would be here tomorrow, but I've read enough 'excuses' from you guys in the last few hours to make it clear it won't be.

The release of the One X has been a cluster ____ in the UK, HTC with some pretty stupid planning right before a holiday period.
[HTC One X] beasty54:
Maybe i spoke too soon, mine has been despatched by Phones4U today as well.
[HTC One X] matw01:
I've just been told my order has been delayed due to o2 wanting to confirm my dob and it is unlikely that they will ship tomorrow as phones4u will need to wait for a response from O2.

Told I can't cancel it now and pick up in store as o2 have already started processing the upgrade.
[HTC One X] dannysmith43:
Have both of these been confirmed by email???
[HTC One X] WESBAR:
Which colour did u order?
[HTC One X] dainesefreak:
I may well go on the hunt tomorrow lunchtime if I haven't had it confirmed for Saturday. I'm not too desperate to be honest, my SGS2 is running along nicely.
[HTC One X] jamal6008:
My dialaphone order has just been marked dispatched on their own website my account area. I haven't received any email yet. Hopefully I should get it by tomorrow now. They do send it by next day special delivery right?
[HTC One X] det66:
Latest from webchat with Phones 4 U :

" I am happy to inform you that your order has passed both our security checks and the network credit check. It is currently with our warehouse awaiting dispatch. It is likely your order will be sent tomorrow and an email will be sent to you to confirm this. We do request you to allow a maximum of 5 working days but we do aim for next working day delivery where possible. Is this ok?"
[HTC One X] beasty54:
grey
[HTC One X] leith51:
T-mobile suck for releasing new phones just been on phone with them and their release date is suppose to be 2moz but they have no info on price plans etc and not had delivery from htc yet :mad:
[HTC One X] dewhurst88:
iv had a white 1 pre ordered with phones4u ever since they went up for pre order iv been told multiple times that it would be delivered on the 7th but haven't had any confirmation email. if haven't received email by tomorrow dinner gonna cancel and go buy 1 in store.
[HTC One X] dafadau:
If affordable mobiles haven't got their act together tomorrow (though I think it's 3 that's the problem), I think I'll get one SIM free from CPW and go with GiffGaff.
[HTC One X] DomCowell:
Dispatched from dap :d

get in!
[HTC One X] beasty54:
I haven't had the despatch email yet but have been assured its on its way. I was told that with so many orders being sent out, the email could take a while.
[HTC One X] maverick1103:
Wow look what I have just received via email !!! :D

I'm at work all day 2mora, so not fair as I bet any money it will be delivered when I'm out!

Tho they use Royal mail and there depot is down the road which is great!
[HTC One X] jonstatt:
I cancelled my Amazon order thinking it wasn't going out and placed with Carphone Warehouse instead. They say it will come tomorrow (white). However I got no confirmation email after placing the order. But I called them up and they insist it is all in progress! Let's hope so.....
[HTC One X] dainesefreak:
What colour mate? If it's grey it's not looking good for us P4U white One X boys, not seen anyone have a dispatch yet.
[HTC One X] WESBAR:
Black or white?
[HTC One X] lees10:
dialaphone despatched!

ive just had the despatched email from dialaphone aswell:)
[HTC One X] Arthur Hucksake:
Got mine from Handtec this afternoon.

Charged up to a green light, took a couple of hours.

Used the phone and was down to 76% battery with just 26 mins on screen time.

POOR! That better improve. lol
[HTC One X] azazin:
Most likely will with the 1.27/1.28 update ;)
[HTC One X] maverick1103:
White one....though I'm not sure I will be able to get it until Saturday now as they will attempt to deliver it 2mora when I'm at work and the local depot shuts at 6...I finish at 7....then they are shut Fri as its Good Friday.....nooo I need it 2mora....can't be doing with it sat in a depot waiting for me!! :mad:
[HTC One X] WESBAR:
Result. Cheers. When did u pre order it? Wonder if they're going through chronologically.
[HTC One X] det66:
Doesn't it say to charge for 8 hrs ? or is that guff?
[HTC One X] WESBAR:
U sound like you're coming down with some sort of illness? ;) maybe u should stay home tomorrow.
[HTC One X] Ruudfood:
Yeah, you're probably right. I'm banking on the fact that I haven't had an upgrade since 2007. They would've got plenty of cash from me since my Nokia N95! I'm also going to play on the fact that I only need 300 mins, 100 text and 250MB of data.

If they refuse I'll ask for my PAC code. I did that last time they when offered me the phone for £100. Got it for free in the end. So I figure it's worth a try.
[HTC One X] chrisjcks:
Thinking of cancelling my Amazon UK order as carphone warehouse have it for £479.99 which is £10 cheaper (white) & they offer free next day delivery (pre orders received on release date) - whereas amazon is 3-5 days free super savers delivery.

What do you think?
[HTC One X] Audioboxer:
Any saving is good!
[HTC One X] chrisjcks:
Just checked & it says 'out of stock - back order'

Think that means I wouldn't receive it immediately.

Good job I didn't cancel my Amazon order.
[HTC One X] THFourteen:
I'm hoping the amazon price will change nearer the time! Also I have Prime, so I am hoping I'll get mine on release date.
[HTC One X] Evil-Dragon:
Hmmm, still nothing tracked for Quidco. How long does it normally take? Starting to think that Chrome has blocked the cookie for it some how...
[HTC One X] Horridge:
As long as you definitely went through Quidco initially, you can submit a manual claim, they ask for order numbers, etc. I've had to do it in the past and I have been finallympaid, but it does take longer.

https://www.quidco.com/new-enquiry/
[HTC One X] chrisjcks:
My £3.90 micro sim cutter just arrived.

Took the plunge & cut my giffgaff sim, yippeeeee - it works in the supplied adapter & ready for the HTC ONE X.
[HTC One X] :
Blimey how did that one pass me by? Micro SIM. Cheers, I'll make sure to have mine ready for when I buy mine. In all the focus into processor, battery, screen etc I hadn't even noticed it was micro SIM. (facepalm)

I know other places might be slightly cheaper, but Amazon and Lie.com (read Play.com) have both let me down with false stock levels and bogus delivery times too many times. These people are always truthful about stock and delivery times, and have never let me down...

http://www.clove.co.uk/htc-one-x-white

I know when they e-mail with stock available, I can place my order and it will be in my hot little hands roughly 24 hours later. Mobilefun also as good.
[HTC One X] chrisjcks:
Lol - i used a noosy micro sim card cutter, came with 2 black adapters to turn it into a full size sim.

________

Anyone pre-ordered from carphone warehouse?

I was gonna, but it says 'out of stock - back order'

Does it say this because it's a pre-order only, or because there have been lots of pre orders & now they're on a back order?

I won't order if they can't honour release date delivery.
[HTC One X] DomCowell:
Hmm I have an adblocker on mine, so have a feeling that stopped it
[HTC One X] nikzDHD:
My Quidco has also not tracked, done on Camino browser which always tracks with TCB.

Anyways will see what happens.

Also guys remember, if you don't want the contract. Pay it all off. Usually minus the VAT so making this even cheaper with the benefit of a free Media Link. Obviously do this after cashback has been paid. :D
[HTC One X] eteyen1:
can someone please enlighten me about these online phone retailers..such as dialaphone and the like. They seem to be offering the best deals but I dont know much about them. How does it work re customer service or issue with the phone eg if the phone needed repairs, does that mean I would have to call them and then send it in the post or do they have stores I can just go into. If its the former, seems like customer service and such like would be a hassle if you couldnt just walk into a store?

Can anyone give me their experiences? Also, I'm on 02 and wanting to upgrade my contract. Preferably 18 months though, but with 600 mins, unl text and unl internet, but the deals I am finding in p4u are like 42pm and cpw is even worse with 42pm plus having to pay for the phone. What would your advice be in terms of who to upgrade with? And are 24month contracts a definite no-no?
[HTC One X] nikzDHD:
Avoid 24 month contracts as the market changes so much. With 4G and such due within a year why tie yourself into a 2 year contract.

If you can afford to buy outright, and get yourself on GiffGaff. GiffGaff run off o2 and for me have been fine.

The DialAPhone 12 month deal is the cheapest way to get a phone for the cheapest price at the moment.
[HTC One X] DomCowell:
Maybe 4G is coming, but personally I don't live in a city so I can imagine it taking its time. Afterall, a village near me struggles to even get 3G yet!
[HTC One X] eteyen1:
thanks, I'm def keen on avoiding 24 month contracts, cause of the way tech moves. The only reason why I'm considering it is that I had my desire for nearly 2 years now anyway, cause I was waiting for the htc one x to be announced. So I was thinking that at the end of 2 years, HTC would be releasing a new phone at that time, which I could just get. But thats just me trying to rationalise a 2 year contract.

I cant really afford to buy outright so looking to get a contract. Anyone with experience using sites such as dial a phone? Are they good with customer service after purchase ie repairs and the like?
[HTC One X] west2cool:
They r good, they replaced 3 sensation for me as they all had dust under the screen.
[HTC One X] eteyen1:
and how does that work with replacing the phones? Did you just call them up? And then did you have to send the phone away? Or do they have stores that you can go to? Also, how long had you had the phone(s) for when they replaced them?
[HTC One X] Evil-Dragon:
Same, but i never even give that a thought until afterwards. I'll just do a manual claim if nothing appears after the next 2 days.
[HTC One X] Audioboxer:
The issue with adblockers and quidco these days is most adblocking subscription lists have evolved to blocking tracking/referral links and cookies these days. Quidco uses both.

Best to whitelist quidco and the site you're buying off of, or just disable completely before using Quidco.
[HTC One X] JimmyEatFood:
:D I'm tempted myself.
[HTC One X] maverick1103:
Original pre-ordered it from Phones4U

on 26th then they switched it to DAP as better deal on 30th...

Haha lol I was tempted...but my work are allowing me to finish early now as I told a little white lie so I can now collect it from the depot before they shut, fingers crossed :D
[HTC One X] pusstulance:
Pre ordered One X last week at my local 3 store. Today I was walkin past so thought I'd pop in to see if they had delivery yet, they said yes. Asked if I could take now, they asked boss he said go on then :) Ohhh the joy, had the thing in my hand and everything, all papers signed etc, came to register at till, ahhhhhh no sale recognize, thing won't till up as not the 5th yet :( Gotta go back in the morning, proper gutted!
[HTC One X] jonstatt:
Guff...doesn't apply to any lithium based battery. However, these phones will take about 4-5 full charge cycles to reach their optimum capacity. But you can use it the minute you get it, and charge it when and how you want.
[HTC One X] pinn___________:
I'm trying to find the cheapest 12 month contract on any network , not too bothered about mins/ texts and need 500mb min.

I have found a 12 month contract on Vodaphone for £36/month , plus 149.99 for the handset but there's also £50 quidco,making a total of £531.

Anyone found anything better? Cheers

Oh,,I found it via here btw http://www.omio.com/phones/htc/one-x/deals
[HTC One X] matw01:
just had a call from my account manager at phones4u after complaining to say that o2 have corrected my date of birth and she will call me in the morning to confirm the order has been processed and i will have my phone Saturday.

Roll on Saturday, off work all next week so plenty of time to play.
[HTC One X] nickhuk:
haha i heard in another post some1 had exactly the same thing happen. u might as well put your head in the oven.... gas mark 6 - 20 minutes should do it :p
[HTC One X] visor:
Yep - that was me. Strangely, I feel a little calmer knowing that I'm not alone in my new toy denial. Still, they need to get their facts straight and stop wasting their customer's time.
[HTC One X] pusstulance:
I'm knockin on the door at 9 tommoz grrrrrrrrrrr!
[HTC One X] leith51:
T-mobile uk say release 2moz yet it will be next week before they even know what price plans they going to have it on ffs get your act together you idiots talk about missing out on a big launch of htc flagship phone the amount of custom they going to lose I got 2 lines and both up for upgrades if I don't get new phones next week will be going elsewhere
[HTC One X] Dark Fire:
Mine has been "dispatching soon" since about midnight. I contacted them late this afternoon to ask them if it would still be dispatched today and delivered tomorrow and their response was effectively "We expect to deliver your order tomorrow. If you haven't got your dispatch email by the end of tomorrow, contact us." I chose the fastest delivery option, but I doubt they'll do a same day dispatch and delivery. :( I have got them on the record saying that it will reach me well before Tuesday...

Anyone else had any experiences with Amazon's behaviour regarding dispatching newly released phones? All other items I've preordered from Amazon have arrived on the day promised or just before. :P
[HTC One X] Evil-Dragon:
My One X from Dialaphone on Orange has been dispatched for tomorrow.
[HTC One X] tsleng:
My order from 3 has been dispatched and tracking number given. Can't wait!
[HTC One X] jonstatt:
Just got a dispatch notice from Carphone Warehouse (white)
[HTC One X] delboy98:
Well, I went to Carphone Warehouse and Phones4U on Oxford Street in London today, and even though they both had stock, they told me they weren't allowed to sell me one until tomorrow.

I also went to the T-Mobile shop. They had stock too, and were willing to sell me one on contract, but they wouldn't sell me one on PAYG/SIM-free.

:-(
[HTC One X] west2cool:
has anyone who ordered from P4U recieved email confirmation of dispatch yet
[HTC One X] combat goofwing:
Not looking good for us t mobile UK people waiting to upgrade,I'm in no rush busey over easter so next week will do but a decent contract price or like others I'm offski

Sent from my LEEDROID powered Desire HD
[HTC One X] Balor:
I upgraded my T-Mob contract using Chitter Chatter. Went on the £36 full monty package, phone free, and free gift. Should be here tomorrow, before 10am.
[HTC One X] leith51:
What free gift did you get and do u have to have new number
[HTC One X] Audioboxer:
No despatch notice or info from affordable mobiles as expected, my change in contract for unlimited data has cost me getting the phone till after easter :p

Ah well, enjoy your phone guys (especially DAP orders, I used to have one :p), I'll have mine soon enough.
[HTC One X] Balor:
The rep I spoke to offered me a Jabra bluetooth headset, car charger, free PAYG handset or Cinema tickets. I wasn't really interested in any of them, so took the car charger just for spare.

I get to keep my existing number, just need to inform T-Mo once I put the new sim in the new phone.
[HTC One X] combat goofwing:
Want 18 months only as that's my normal phone change cycle,also not bothered about unlimited net as I have 3 gig allowance now .

Sent from my LEEDROID powered Desire HD
[HTC One X] nickhuk:
no email but i had to call them earlier (unrelated to dispatch as i was expecting 7th delivery) and she told me it had been dispatched and gave me a tracking number
[HTC One X] leith51:
Will you let us know how if it turns up and how it goes with t-mobile cause I'm wanting to order 2 of them
[HTC One X] maverick1103:
It will be soon enough chap...but if you got a better deal then fair play :)
[HTC One X] r0cafella:
I was told when i called up for my Pac code today that they didn't even have plans for the One X on TMO - i then requested my Pac code and was told i'd recieve a call from outbound retentions who have the better offers.
[HTC One X] SartoriXX:
Same here, got a text with the consignment number due for delivery tomorrow, nice!
[HTC One X] DaveDesire:
Well I rang T-Mobile earlier today and the guy I spoke to in retentions said they'd just been briefed on the tariffs for the One X.

He offered me 24months @ £41p/m. I laughed and said that was ridiculous. So he offered 18months @ £36p/m but I'd have to pay £50 for the handset?! LOL

I mentioned the Vodafone deal and said if he can't get near that then I'll have to cancel, so he gave me my PAC code over the phone.

A couple of years ago I threatened to cancel and they did absolutely everything they could to keep me, ending up with a ridiculously cheap tariff and free Desire on the first day of its release. This time they didn't want to know.

Ended up going through Phones4u who were very helpful and I got the 12month @ £36 Vodafone deal but only £140 for the handset and they're sending me a cheque for 30 quid (as well the media link obviously).

So good luck dealing with T-Mobile!
[HTC One X] r0cafella:
Great post Dave cheers for the info. At what time did you call them? I was speaking to someone in Sunderland at about 4pm...

He was going for his stag do on friday so maybe wasn't listening to the briefs lol...

But if my experience is like yours i'll be off to 02
[HTC One X] leith51:
I rang them around 11am so they must have had the brief in the afternoon
[HTC One X] DaveDesire:
I rang about 4:40pm and finally got through about 15mins later. I'm not sure which call centre it was I spoke to either, sorry.
[HTC One X] BaZ87:
I got my PAC off t-mobile the other week and both later that day and again the next day I got calls off of them offering me better and better deals. I still left them though.
[HTC One X] r0cafella:
No need to be sorry mate, it seems like the brief was there when i phoned or i might have made some progress. If what i was told was correct i should be getting a call from there outbound retentions team...

Hope it's not tomorrow as I'm busy all day i want to hear what they've got to say had no problems with TMO and if i could keep my old Desire HD contract and pay abit for the HOX i'd be happy with that
[HTC One X] DomCowell:
Hoping my experience will be as pain free as possible with getting the PAC code.

I dont want to hear any of the normal crap!
