Tesco will be doing it on there network and on o2 and T-Mobile.

Well get the deals when I get to work I. Morning. The deals are really good as we found out yesterday.
[HTC One X] combat goofwing:
sorry they were 24 month contracts but still room to bargin with t mobile given price and allowances they are offering,im happy to get less minutes and texts if i can keep my data allowance and get the phone for free on a 18th month contract.24 month contracts are just a no no
[HTC One X] chaps:
Expansys posted mine today (grey model). Hopefully have it tomorrow :D
[HTC One X] Nit3m4re:
I feel exactly the same as you mate in terms of the Media Link, however, I couldn't get a great deal on the One X with enough cash back to warrant spending a lot of my spare money I don't have to really spend. Looks like I am going to have to see what the SGSIII has to offer, DLNA is by far going to be the route they take which is a shame but it encourages people to purchase their TV's which I guess I don't blame them for doing.
[HTC One X] jag233:
Getting mine tomorrow from o2, only ordered it today at 12, great service. Was going to have to wait until the 11th to get one from DAP, so even though the DAP deal was slightly better I opted to go for delivery tomorrow, I am like a big kid at Christmas lol.
[HTC One X] r0cafella:
Oh i spoke to o2 yesterday and they couldn't even confirm a release date...

How did this come about?
[HTC One X] owz206:
Just had my dispatch confirmation email from Clove, I'll be getting mine tomorrow. :D
[HTC One X] manook:
Received an email from affordablemobiles confirming delivery on Thursday. I queried the delivery date.
[HTC One X] skanj:
I've ordered mine from the website around 1, mines been dispatched as I have a yodel tracking number.
[HTC One X] r0cafella:
I'm assuming this is a 3rd party sale? As 02's website has them as coming in april when i check.

EDIT, NVM! i can see it now :D

thanks for the heads up!
[HTC One X] skanj:
No probs. I'm hoping they'll be unlocked.
[HTC One X] chrisjcks:
Ffs,

People who are ordering today from O2 are getting them dispatched today!

Whereas I've had my pre-order with CPW for weeks, they even took the money a week ago, yet nothing as of yet.

Sooo annoying!
[HTC One X] west2cool:
i have got one on pre order with affordable mobile and phones4u. which one dispatch first is the one im keeping and cancelling the other.
[HTC One X] r0cafella:
Just got off the phone with a 02 store in leeds, they advised me that they had no in the warehouse at present but we're awaiting a delivery as we speak, he's told me to call back on thursday for a update. He advised that it's possible for them to get them sent from the warehouse express delivery and it can upto 24 hours.

He said it's possible they will have them in store this week but thursday is looking more likely...

Annoying i have to buy in store to get my 30% discount :(
[HTC One X] west2cool:
releasing this phone is turning out to be a cluster f......
[HTC One X] DaveDesire:
Indeed. Still nothing from T-Mobile directly. I want to upgrade damn you!
[HTC One X] snowwhite007:
After a bit of moaning and threatining to cancel muly contract i got 600mins unlimited data and texts with orange beast
[HTC One X] riz157:
Spoke to mpd and representative advised me phone is in stock and I should have it by the 5th once credit check is done tomorrow. She sounded very confident!!
[HTC One X] combat goofwing:
Me too :-[
[HTC One X] r0cafella:
Havent heard anything from TMO either.

Obviously Upgrades aren't interested in us lol.

Hopefully My local 02 store gets them asap so i can change.. gutted to lose my 3gb though it was the whole reason i went to them in the first place.
[HTC One X] combat goofwing:
I need to stay with t mobile for t mobile orange signal at work.they will be interested when I phone up for my PAC code:-)
[HTC One X] r0cafella:
Touché my friend haha!

If they can offer to keep my contract as it is and ask me to pay 200 for the HOX i'll probly stay with them tbh...

Just can't see them wanting to let people stay on that old plan though :(
[HTC One X] OysterCatcheRR:
You guys should check Three out. They have some fantastic deals, and unlimited internet with no soft cap as far as I can see
[HTC One X] r0cafella:
Thanks but they only seem to offer 24 month contracts, i emailed them albeit on the accessibility email address asking if they did 18 month contracts and they replied back saying call in.

Can't be bothered digging anymore thanks for the heads up though.
[HTC One X] chaps:
Agreed. Getting a very cheap sim only deal from them and buy the phone outright.
[HTC One X] DomCowell:
TMobileUKNews twitter or something like that announced Orange and T-Mobile will have them available to collect instore or online on Thursday.
[HTC One X] welshandy2322:
anyone know if dial a phone will ship early?waiting for 11th is a killer:mad:
[HTC One X] chrisjcks:
SIM only deal - GiffGaff!

250mins

Truly unlimited texts

Truly unlimited data

No contract

£10 a month ;)
[HTC One X] BaZ87:
Their twitter account is actually telling people that are asking that it will be shipped on the 11th for delivery on the 12th :(
[HTC One X] chaps:
Nice, but three do 600mins, unlimited data and i forget the texts (never use them) for £15 (12 month) with £81 quidco - works out at about £8.25 p/m.

I did look at GiffGaff but they use O2 network, and they have no 3g coverage where i work :(
[HTC One X] Icemagic786:
Phones4U Deal

I originally ordered an upgrade through Phones4U and was offered the following deal

24 Month Contract on orange

Free phone

£31.50 pcm

900 mins

unlimited texts

1gb internet

free HTC Media Link

I then got a phone call from orange offering me the same deal but for £29 pcm

I then called Phones4U to cancel my pre-order but they then offered me £70 cash back (£2.50 difference x 24 months = £60 + £10 to beat the offer). I've now accepted this offer.

My expected delivery date is 7th April which is a Saturday so I'm not too hopeful that it will actually be delivered on this date. I personally think it will be delivered on the 10th due to Easter Monday Bank Holiday.

Let me know what you guys think :D
[HTC One X] det66:
Phones4u are using Royal mail so Saturday should be the day hopefully
[HTC One X] jag233:
A wee bonus for me from o2 was getting an option for an early upgrade next time round(3 months)
[HTC One X] det66:
Phones4U have now removed the delivery date from their website :/
[HTC One X] MrPhilo:
Does anyone know if shops like 'Carphone Warehouse and Phone4U' have them in stock on the date released (5th April), in store? I don't like ordering online and prefer going to my local store and purchase it from there.

It be a bummer if they don't :\
[HTC One X] DaveDesire:
Yeah but they aren't giving any details on price plans for upgrades yet are they? Or at least that's what they told me. Said to ring back Friday
[HTC One X] wilkomints:
Carphone Warehouse (Brighton) are expecting them from the warehouse tomorrow, available Thursday apparently...
[HTC One X] R3DH3AD:
Just got this from phones 4 u. Looks like media link will be delayed must of been a lot of pre orders for this deal.

" Firstly, thank you for choosing Phones 4u. We are emailing to let you know that your brand new phone will be delivered to you separately from the HTC Media Link HD that came free with your pre-order. We apologise for any inconvenience this may cause. We are working as hard as possible with our supplier to get your HTC Media Link HD out to you as soon as possible.

What happens next?

· We will email you once your phone has been despatched

· We will also email you to let you know when your HTC Media Link HD has been despatched from our warehouse "

I'm not bothered but some might be.
[HTC One X] chrisjcks:
I think the official release date is Thursday 5th April,

I think the people who have recieved them early here in the UK, have just been darn lucky.
[HTC One X] dannysmith43:
Crud...when did you pre order? I have nothing from Phones4u about it myself...
[HTC One X] dannysmith43:
lol....same email just came in!
[HTC One X] maverick1103:
They are next working day, if be very surprised if you don't get it by Thursday latest.
[HTC One X] maverick1103:
DLNA is great but as you say there encouraging ppl to buy there TVs, but if you don't have a internet TV then the MediaLink is great.
[HTC One X] maverick1103:
Some stores have already received stock in CPW, best checking with your local store.
[HTC One X] maverick1103:
The DAP 11th delivery is starting to frustrate me, if their a sister company of Phones4U why aren't they shipping same time as there stock comes from same place!

I original had my One X pre-ordered with Phones 4U then switched to DAP as their deal was £5 cheaper a month, just rather annoying they can't ship sooner!
[HTC One X] Audioboxer:
Think I'll ask DAP to cancel my orange 28.50 deal tomorrow, the more I think about it, the less I'll end up using the media link (I could sell it, but hassle and flood of them on ebay).

The 3 deal at £29 with free handset looks good - http://www.omio.com/phones/htc/one-x/deals (unlimited data)

Or there are some cheap Tmobile deals at £26.
[HTC One X] dainesefreak:
Not had the Phones4U Media Link email yet, only ordered mine last night though.
[HTC One X] maverick1103:
Just had an email from DAP to say media link will be dispatched separately as well :(

If phone comes early I don't mind :rolleyes:
[HTC One X] nikzDHD:

Hopefully sooner rather than later for the phone!
[HTC One X] DomCowell:
Got all excited when I saw the "update" email from DAP, to find it was just giving information I thought was common knowledge!

Waiting until Thursday where I may cancel my order.
[HTC One X] BaZ87:
Snap.

Hopefully it was the media link that was delaying us until the 11th and now the phone will arrive Thursday morning :rolleyes:
[HTC One X] west2cool:
Jus had the same email from phones4u
[HTC One X] nickhuk:
Upgrade through Phones 4 U

A few days ago i registered my interest to upgrade through Dial-a-phone.... im very inpatient, so when they didnt call me back within like 5 mins i just rang them up myself. they offered a **** deal to upgrade (24 month only)

but today i got a call from an 0845 number (i was expecting some PPI ****) and ready to put on my fonejacker voice haha

it was phones-4-u (Same company as Dial-a-phone)

first offered Free black One X (Upgrade... Vodafone)

18 Month £36 p/m

300 Mins

unlim Text

1 Gb

£648 over 18 months (Free Media Link)

Told them im seriously considering GIff Gaff @ £10 pm and £420 sim free phone (I WISH IT WAS £420 haha)

so same deal as above except 1.5 Gb and a nice £80 Cheque within 2 weeks so £568 over contract plus 500mb. And i have an iphone 4 lying about the house so that fetches £250 on CWH trade in so total over 18 month is £318... £17 ish P/M

EDIT : forgot to mention Confirmed Sim-Free, Unlocked, Unbranded device and Dispatched ON THE 7TH
[HTC One X] det66:
and me ,just in

---------- Post added at 06:33 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:31 PM ----------

Is that dispatched on the 11th from phones4U
[HTC One X] sebbo90:
That's odd when I asked they said it would be dispatched for delivery on the 7th :confused:
[HTC One X] dewhurst88:
Iv spoken to phones4u in store and on there live chat and they clearly stated the phone would be delivered on the 7th at the latest....

this is what the live chat guy wrote

Sam L says:

I see, well as it cannot be fully processed until the handset is scanned you may not have been sent the e-mail yet, that is still set for 07/04 at the latest for delivery :)
[HTC One X] r0cafella:
No wonder we have a struggling economy it seems like no matter who we all contact we can't get a solid date out of them..

We are trying to hand over our hard earned FFS!
[HTC One X] det66:
Same here just finished with them
[HTC One X] maverick1103:
Hopefully your right, I'd love to receive my handset before this weekend as I'm off and will just spend many hrs with it, my girlfriend will feel rejected :D
[HTC One X] Goku80:
Nice to see you here Nikz mate.;) sold my galaxy s2:( today and looking forward to my One X on Thursday. Got to do a whole lot more reading now on how to root this puppy and start flashing. Looking forward to seeing the development for this phone
[HTC One X] nikzDHD:
Ahh you sold it! As much as I love the SGS2 I need a new phone! I rarely keep my phones longer than a year lol. Can't wait for the SGS3 so HOX will do me until that comes out if that brings something revolutionary to the table!

Development should be awesome like most high end HTCs the HTC devs are excellent. You'll feel at home on the HTC side :p
[HTC One X] welshandy2322:
just fired an email to dial a phone. wish to cancel and expect my refund for handset asap,told them buymobilephone.net are shipping soon for delivery on the 5th.i just hope they agree to send early
[HTC One X] Goku80:
lol yeah man i sold it. See the thing is about the Galaxy S3 i might give that a miss. The thing with that i am pretty sure it will be mostly be about specs and nothing else. Regarding user experience it will be down to HOX. What i might end up doing though is use this bad boy for till the end of the year and see what the new Nexus will be like. But until then the HOX will be the keeper for me...

Have you got any info regarding how to unlock the bootloader or that is already in place and we can root straight away? Man i have so many questions and looks like i need to start reading all over again
[HTC One X] nikzDHD:
Not yet you can unlock using the HTC dev tool but warranty issues arise relating to certain things. We are waiting for Revolutionary for the tool to allow S-OFF, which we can then S-ON again to return to stock.

On a side note my Handtec order is being delivered tomorrow. Oh dilemma! Do I keep a total sim free device or do I return that and wait for the DAP deal with free Media Link to be delivered. Decisions!
[HTC One X] Audioboxer:
Anyone have experience with affordable mobiles, or know when they are delivering?
[HTC One X] Goku80:
sweet stuff. Nice to see some of the old Galaxy s2 guys here though. Thanks man. see you already been reading upon things then
[HTC One X] vmlinuz1:
And to hijack slightly and ask an obscure question... does anyone know if either of these stores, or any other national chain which might have the phone in stock also does non-resident VAT refund paperwork?

I'm an expat living in Hong Kong, and I'm sure nobody would be surprised to hear that HTC haven't exactly had a smooth and shiny launch here either - seems they'll be launching on the 5th, except I'm heading back to the UK to visit the family late on the 4th. If I have to pay the with-VAT price, I'll probably wait until I'm back in HK and get it tax-free - no VAT in HK - but if I can get the VAT refund (to which I'm entirely entitled, nothing dodgy here) I'll pick one up in the UK over Easter...
[HTC One X] nikzDHD:
Ahh see my user name DHD lol started off with a HTC device before moving to SGS2 so kind of familiar to the HTC side. It's just as easy as Odin!
[HTC One X] Audioboxer:
Do you guys think 'unlimited data' is really worth it? I'm trying to think whether or not it's going to be good choice to lock into it over the next 24 months? Streaming services are most likely going to boom, and mobile providers seem to be getting stingier every year.
[HTC One X] Arthur Hucksake:
Mine has been despatched from Handtec today for delivery tomorrow, sim free.

Really look forward to it!!!
[HTC One X] chrisjcks:
Absolutely, i need unlimited data. :)

Between pocketcasts, napster & netflix (plus general app updates, youtube & browsing)

I feel it's a must!
[HTC One X] DomCowell:
Tempted to swing to 3 for Ul. Data.

However, Deezer (an Orange Swapable) doesn't count towards the data cap of 1GB, or so I believe.
[HTC One X] JimmyEatFood:
why are phones 4 u and dial a phone giving out different dates when they are run from the same office?

gutted I have to wait till next week :(
[HTC One X] Audioboxer:
How much is napster these days?

TVCatchup seems to be another MB grabbing app I would consider.

Yeah Deezer is definitely a plus, but I have no idea if Orange are obligated to offer Deezer for your contract length, or if they could pull it in 9 months time....

As it stands right now most mobile music streaming services seem to be around £9-10, making the orange deal better value. The cheapest way I can get unlimited data on a contract is £29 with Three.

As much as the media link from DAP being included is great, I really think the biggest focus for me has to be the fact a 2 year contract is being taken out, and how can I make sure it is 'future proof'. I can always pick up a media link later when ebay is flooded with them/I get a bonus or more disposable cash.

1GB is most likely more than enough for me going by my last 2 years Desire monthly usage, but this phone is a hardware beast compared to that and video/audio streaming is much more suited.

Going to phone DAP tomorrow and request a cancellation, if they throw a hefty cheque my way I'll consider staying, but if I have no luck with retentions I think I'll jump over to three @ £29.
[HTC One X] Dark Fire:
Has anyone had any luck with Amazon? My delivery estimate is still Thursday, but the phone hasn't been dispatched yet. Hoping to get it before The Boat Race on Saturday, so I can give it a good test run and review...
[HTC One X] stanny2k:
Anyone know if these HTC One X phones are all carrier unlocked? Or if I was to buy it from Orange, would it be locked on Orange?

Im with Three... But my Mrs is due an upgrade on Orange... hence my question.

Thanks
[HTC One X] BaZ87:
If you buy it direct from Orange it will most likely be locked to Orange only. If you buy it (or upgrade) via a 3rd party (Phones4U, CPW, Dialaphone etc), they'll most likely be unlocked but you can't be certain.
[HTC One X] PurpleRob:
Mine is being despatched from Handtec for delivery tomorrow as well :D:D

Woohoo

Rob
[HTC One X] latte33:
hmm, i just wait week after release date only buy....

at least wait for someone grab a sim free version from phones4u....
[HTC One X] manook:
Got an email from them today after I asked and they are delivering Thursday
[HTC One X] Audioboxer:
Unfortunately their checkout process is proving to be a PITA. Keeps telling me my bank details do not match the address provided :confused::mad:
[HTC One X] marcadam:
I really hope three are delivering as promised on Thursday because i really don't want to have to wait until Tuesday.
[HTC One X] OysterCatcheRR:
Do you have any reason to think they won't be?
[HTC One X] ardsar:
has anyone received shipping confirmation from Clove.co.uk?

EDIT - just checked account on line, and it has been despatched.
[HTC One X] Audioboxer:
Also did you get an email conformation of order? Finally got the order to go through, all I have though is a reference number.

edit: It finally came in.
[HTC One X] bmad7136:
For those after the grey unlocked flavour I ordered this morning from handtec.co.uk and just got an email saying its going to be delivered tomorrow! Wasn't expecting that! I'm moving from a 4s, (which I just hate!), so can someone please tell me if my iPhone microsim will work in the one x? Cheers!!
[HTC One X] debully:
I've ordered direct from Voda and I think it's the best deal:

12 Month contract

£130 phone & beats buds - deduct £25 quidco

£41 / month - 600mins, unlim txts, 1Gb data - deduct 10% student discount (£36.90)

£547.80 / year. For a decent contract and decent phone.

Chop in my silver desire to Mizunda (£68) or ebay and I'm happy.

Only thing they couldn't guarantee was if delivery would be just before or just after the easter break.
[HTC One X] manook:
Yrh all I got was an automated email with reference number
[HTC One X] pokoedge:
Lucky you, mine still says PROCESS :(
[HTC One X] craftycarper1:
One X takes micro sim as well, so yes.
[HTC One X] DomCowell:
Amazon are generally able to deliver in two days, so shouldn't be a problem as long as they dispatch by Wednesday :)
[HTC One X] Dark Fire:
Cool - I was planning to contact them tomorrow evening if there's no change. I chose the "expedited" delivery which should get it to me as fast a possible, but if they're using Royal Mail it needs to arrive on Thursday, otherwise there's no chance of getting it before Tuesday. :(

http://www.royalmail.com/delivery/mail-advice/public-holidays
[HTC One X] HTC-Gunge:
hmm CPW website now shows the black in stock and the white still on back order... starting to think I picked the wrong supplier...
[HTC One X] DomCowell:
Expedited is next day isn't it?

I have Amazon Prime and they generally deliver at like 9am the next day even when I order at 7pm the night before!
[HTC One X] familyhousing:
Expansys have failed to despatch mine, despite promising on the phone this afternoon that it would be despatched today. Utterly useless company. Let down on both times I have ever tried to buy from them.
[HTC One X] JDR0iD:
I have no update on dispatch, I noticed all of a sudden on Dialaphone that the HD Box has been removed with all handsets. (i also recieved an email to say it will be sent after the handset and apologies for any delay)

I spoke to orange direct today and he spoke to a manage and adivsed it has been delayed a week!?! wierd! I hope dialaphone are not delayed!
[HTC One X] trickyhenry:
I also phoned them and same response! Cool.
[HTC One X] Nit3m4re:
Sorry.. wait what? Since when did Vodafone do student discount?

*EDIT* Just googled it.. wow I feel like an absolute idiot.. in my 3rd year now at Uni and I've been with Vodafone all this time. Hilarious how the fail to mention anything of the sort to me lol
[HTC One X] debully:
Yeah I'm in year 6 out of 6 and never noticed it before. I think you may be able to get it applied now but not retrospectively...obviously.

They knock 25% off if you or someone you know works for the NHS or a company on the (illusive but not impossible to find) list.

https://www.vodafone.co.uk/vodafone-uk/campaigns/employee-advantage-alt/faqs/index.htm
[HTC One X] Nit3m4re:
Yeah I had a look at the "list" and it's quite a prestigous list of companies bar a few, maybe in a few years time i'll know a few people on it or even work for one myself ;) Either way, cheers for the note. I'll remember that for the future, and the student discount for a few months time when I try and upgrade to an SGSIII hopefully with more success than with the One X, much appreciated !
[HTC One X] DomCowell:
Just wondering if anyone could say how decent 'buymobiles.net' is?

Appearing on Omio, and they seem to have some decent contracts..?
[HTC One X] Goku80:
Just out of curiosity does the phone come with beats audio earphones
[HTC One X] Nit3m4re:
Vodafone are offering it with urBeats headphones for a limited number, I think 10,000.. not sure about the others, don't think so.
[HTC One X] Goku80:
Oh that's a bummer. Freaking sold my s2 for this. I know earphones are not a main reason but still. Oh well.
[HTC One X] vfrvulcan:
Do these ship with a micro SIM?

What happens if you want to keep your number? It is a seamless transition?
