Anyone had a delivery from Phones4U today? Mine is supposed to be turning up but I'm not sure how or when as they haven't got an updated tracking number on their system yet.
[HTC One X] cec24:
Saturday 7th

I ordered a white HTC One X from Phones 4 U and I haven't been sent an email. I used the support thing on their website to type to someone who gave me a Citylink tracking code which tells me mine will be delivered tomorrow :-( I want it now.
[HTC One X] dainesefreak:
Hmm, I had this last night;

"Dear Customer,

Great News!

Firstly, thank you for choosing Phones 4u. We are emailing to let you know that we have arranged for a special courier to deliver your handset to you on Good Friday.

We hope you enjoy cracking open your new phone this Easter.

Your sincerely

Phones 4U."

and then this;

"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 delivered between 8am and 8pm."

So I did a web chat this morning and was told that they haven't got a tracking number yet as the system hasn't polled. So it's now gone 12 and I'm still sitting around waiting.
[HTC One X] DaveDesire:
I've not received mine from P4U yet. I wasn't expecting them to deliver on Good Friday though.

I haven't had 1 single email from them since placing my order on Wed evening. No order confirmation. No delivery details. Nothing.

---------- Post added at 12:23 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:12 PM ----------

Has it been confirmed that P4U are using CityLink?

If so, they don't operate today (Good Friday).

Also, it says:

"Any specified Saturday deliveries will be made on Saturday 7th April. Next day deliveries will be made on Tuesday 10th April"

:(
[HTC One X] dainesefreak:
I'm trying to understand this "special courier" thing. Especially as later last night I got the Royal Mail email and I'm fairly sure Royal Mail isn't delivering today.

I've just called them and they don't know?! It could be today as sometimes they authorise a courier to deliver on Bank Holidays, but they have no tracking other than it's gone out.

So now I'm getting grief from the Mrs about hanging around the house and it might not even turn up today. So today's turning into a wasted day and possibly tomorrow, nice Bank Holiday. :mad:
[HTC One X] cec24:
The only email I have had from them was one apologising that my media link will be delivered separately to my phone and within the next 28 days. I ordered a couple of weeks ago over the phone as an upgrade on Orange.

---------- Post added at 12:32 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:25 PM ----------

I'm not sure how to add a picture but my Citylink tracking code definitely says planned delivery Saturday 7th. Not sure if they are using more than one courier but I'd be surprised if anyone gets a delivery on a bank holiday.
[HTC One X] DaveDesire:
Yeah I didn't even get a Media Link email :)

I've just spoken to P4U to check and my order was dispatched yesterday. I asked who with and she said Royal Mail. Whether that's true or just a standard answer I don't know. Tomorrow could be the day so guess I'll have to wait in all tomorrow too!

I did mention that some people had tracking numbers. She just said Royal Mail don't give them til 48hours after :/
[HTC One X] dainesefreak:
Ok so mine's just turned up via City Link.

Apparently they sometimes pay for a special delivery with a courier. I think they paid for mine as I'd had a load of hassle in one of their stores. I cancelled my on-line order as their store down the road told me they could sort me out. After cancelling and popping in they couldn't do any 12 month tariffs and told me they could do a web match, but the phone would have to be delivered to my house.

To say I wasn't happy after cancelling is an understatement. I called back the Account Manager and she reinstated my order and must have arranged for a courier to deliver today.

Anyway it's here now, no Media Link or Beats Headphones. Not bothered about the headphones though as I'll be using my Sennheisers and hopefully the Media Link will turn up at some point.
[HTC One X] Steve90:
I did the live chat thing with P4U and they told me they are using CityLink and issued me with a tracking number, the details say that it is arranged for Saturday delivery :)

Other than that I've not received any emails regarding my order other than the delayed media link.
[HTC One X] Horridge:
After spending the last 24months with the same phone (despite it being a good one, HTC Desire) I can't do that again. So 12month contract was very important, so I finally decided on:

Vodafone:

HTC One X (White) - £139 upfront - incl. UrBeats

600 Mins

Unlt Texts

1gb Data

£41/month, but with VEA works out at £32.80/month

Grand Total = £532.60

Minus £25 Quidco = £507.60

Minus HTC Desire trade-in £68 = £439.60
[HTC One X] shaw23:
Went to collect my RESERVED white one x today from P4U only to find out it had been sold :mad::mad::mad:

So girl called there online team and I got a great deal,

Unlimited mins

Unlimited texts

1Gb data

Free white one x

Free data link (when available)

+ £130 cash back

£36 per month equating to £30 per month with the cash back.

Have to wait till Tuesday for my phone tho!!! GUTTED
[HTC One X] DomCowell:
Medialink has been delayed pretty much country wide. I think it is going to.be delivered between the 18th and 22nd
[HTC One X] dainesefreak:
I just wanted the handset to be honest. I have got the MHL lead I bought for my SGS2 so I can wait.

Bonus, when I registered my account on the Vodafone site I found out I had 2gb of BT Wi-Fi on my tariff too.
[HTC One X] latte33:
Is there anyone order the HOX from o2?

and is that the one x is locked to o2 or sim free?

Thanks
[HTC One X] nikzDHD:
I've ordered many phones from O2 on contract and not had a single locked one. Should be sim free.
[HTC One X] @home:
Ordered Sim free from Amazon on Thursday 5th, should be with me Saturday 7th.

Hope it's better than the disappointing GS2
[HTC One X] tidusuk123:
If anyone wants this phone over the Easter weekend then you can pick up a great deal from Phones 4u in the Woolwich branch (South East London):

24 month contract on Orange

900 mins

Unlimited texts

1GB Data

And £100 instant cashback!

I'm aware there are probably better deals online but for those that would prefer buying in store will find it hard to find a deal like this on the high street.

Have good stock levels. If anyone wants this deal then call the branch on 02083162638 to reserve yours before coming down. Mention XDA when ringing and ask to speak to thr manager.

Can't ask any questions on forum as will be busy but feel free to call if you have any.
[HTC One X] tidusuk123:
Forgot to mention monthly price which is £36 per month
[HTC One X] xavier2k3:
If you don't mind upgrading through phones4u with Orange you can get it in white, that's what I did!
[HTC One X] lankyfish:
Affordable Mobiles

For anyone, like me, who's getting a tad fed up waiting for there white HOX on 3 from Affordable Mobiles it turns out they've had software issues with there stock from HTC:

"Just a quick update regarding the HTC One x software issue. This was for network 3 orders only, we have a delivery of new phones for network 3 orders coming in on Tuesday morning so this will be rectified. All other networks that the phone was available for was not affected."

http://www.facebook.com/affordablemobiles.co.uk
[HTC One X] xavier2k3:
Phones 4 u pre-orderers,

I just spoke with Phones 4 u over live chat regarding the delivery of my HOX but then thought I'd mention the issue of the beats headset not being included and I felt I'd been missold the handset.

Chat is a follows:

So if you genuinely feel you've been missold the phone like I have, I'd recommend chasing this up with them.

Just thought i'd share this with you other P4U/DAP customers.

Cheers
[HTC One X] DaveDesire:
Ordered Wednesday from P4U, still haven't recieved my phone :(
[HTC One X] matthew2810:
Same problem with yodel...

My parcel order from Carphone 26.03 stuck in yodel .:mad:

From tracking yodel page:

And not receive until 10/11.04

No more yodel .
[HTC One X] kingdeacon:
I just got mine this morning :)

I ordered my one X from phones 4 you about 2 weeks ago, I never got a email saying it had been posted like they said, but least it's here now.
[HTC One X] nikzDHD:
Off topic those on Vodafone what data speeds are you getting look at this hotspotting to my SGS2 the first 3 are via hotspot.

Best network speeds I've seen and just as good and fast on the HOX itself.
[HTC One X] Bigmille:
You are lucky with speed from 3, here are mine with the Galaxy Note using Vodafone and One X using 3. The results are the same with 3 sim card in the Note.

I'm waiting to hear back from 3 to see if they can find a way to speed up my connection. I guess that is the price to pay from switching from 1GB on Vodafone to unlimited data on 3.

Might give Giggaff a go to see what their data spped are like.
[HTC One X] nikzDHD:
See my results from the same screen shot those are all from giffgaff. Vodafone smacks it but giffgaff is unlimited. Also found during my tests when I bought a three sim card that giffgaff was better than three in download and upload.

Now if only Vodafone offered unlimited but I guess that's why they have better speeds despite also being on 3G900 as O2 they may have lower congestion.
[HTC One X] Bigmille:
Thanks, going to give giffgaff £10 p/m a go after my monthly 3 contract run out. Those speed looks good enough to stream music and upload photos.
[HTC One X] chrisjcks:
I can confirm, i never have any problems streaming on giffgaff, I use between 250-500mb per working day.

Pocket casts, Netflix & Napster stream perfectly.
[HTC One X] nikzDHD:
Yeah giffgaff speeds are solid for me even at work as O2 are one of the better networks in London. I'm going to test the Vodafone sim at work next week and see what kind of speeds I get there but will remain with giffgaff as it's my main sim.

Speeds are good enough I stream ESPN goals and spotify and Google music and exceed 1GB per month. I don't have the need to tether so no issues with the no tethering policy for me.
[HTC One X] johnbhoy89:
is there any more word on the free medialinks and when they are to be delivered?
[HTC One X] nikzDHD:
Not yet judging by Amazon's release date we may have them end of the month.
[HTC One X] trickyhenry:
anyone had delivery from affordablemobiles? on Three.

They are saying they need to wait for Three to release the handsets.

Apparently nobody has recieved one? :(
[HTC One X] lankyfish:
Affordable mobiles 3

Nope not got mine yet, and as far as I can tell neither has anyone who wasn't one of the first preorder-ers. https://www.facebook.com/affordablemobiles.co.uk

I just got this from affordable mobiles:

"Dear Customer,

Please accept our sincere apologies for the delay in obtaining stock from our supplier regarding the HTC One X on the Three network. Three authorised us to use SIM free phones on their network, however had problems signing the phone software off. As a backup plan, we ordered Three branded (SIM locked) phones direct from Three to resolve this issue.

Unfortunately Three are struggling to sign off their own phone software version against their network, this is what is causing the delay in processing your order. Latest date we have been given for delivery to us is now tomorrow (12th April 2012) and will be despatched as soon as they arrive.

Please note: We have no guarantees from Three that they can actually achieve this date, We will keep you informed on a daily basis on this issue.

As a way of apology, Affordable Mobiles will give every customer waiting for their HTC One X an accessory pack comprising of an In Car Charger, and Bluetooth headset.

The handset has and is still available on all other networks being Orange, T-Mobile, Vodafone and o2. We have stock available today to despatch on these networks, should you wish to receive your handset sooner.

Again please accept our sincere apologies for the confusion and delay of this product.

Thank you for your patience."

Wish they could just send us an unbranded generic one instead of one loaded with rubbish from 3.
[HTC One X] tsleng:
That means they do not have stock from 3. :p

There is no problem with the software because 3 has been selling it for many days. I had mine since launch day. 1.26.77x.xx firmware as well which seems to me one of the more stable ones.

They are just buying time... :D
[HTC One X] lankyfish:
It wouldn't surprise me :(

I can't understand why everywhere else seem to have stock from 3 bar AM though.
[HTC One X] trickyhenry:
Ohh.!! My order confirmation just came through! Yeah!! Despatch to following!

Affordablemobiles and v slow.
[HTC One X] lewyharvey:
My despatch confirmation also came today from affordable mobiles. Strange as I cancelled the order on the 3rd lol
[HTC One X] NBB823151:
"3" being Dodgy

They seemed to have edited their blog and this confirmation is not there anymore
[HTC One X] tsleng:
Covering their asses. But I bet you someone will have got a screenshot of that :D

I ain't bothered to chase them up for the possible £50 or whatever that some have confirmed to have gotten because I got a good deal from retentions.
[HTC One X] Audioboxer:
Three are also sending normal sized sim cards with the AM's deal :mad:

The whole deal and ordeal with Three has been one mess.
[HTC One X] NBB823151:
Had that with the sim as well the cut one had issues so had to get a micro one.

If anyone does have the screenshot and could PM me would be most grateful.
[HTC One X] tsleng:
Sending a normal sim with the one X. Oh dear that is messed up.
[HTC One X] lankyfish:
Yer I got mine this morning with a normal size SIM. Lots of careful cutting a filing later and all is good :)

3 Have loaded a ton of cr** on it though, soundhound, amazon, autotrader.
[HTC One X] tsleng:
Soundhound is quite useful. The rest not so but no biggie.
[HTC One X] skanj:
Don't forget you can disable most of the pre installed apps.
[HTC One X] huwwatkins:
Can you unlock the bootloader using htc dev and install the official htc rom?
[HTC One X] richard_jerome:
Similar here. Delivery between 5-6pm tonight.

Only snag is AFM just rang to say they've sent full size SIM by mistake.

*DOH*

Micro-SIM now in post by 1st class recorded delivery.

They were very apologetic/embarrassed ;-)
[HTC One X] Audioboxer:
My Affordable Mobiles order has finally shipped, to be here tomorrow. I should therefore get a microsim.

Worth holding out to get unlimited data, but my first ever order experience with AM has not been good. Even if 3 were to blame, communication and order tracking was dire.
[HTC One X] lewyharvey:
Even after cancelling mine on March 31st Affordable mobiles phoned me today to confirm my order is about to be dispatched. I told them I had cancelled and no longer require the phone, "ok Mr. Harvey I can confirm that your order has been cancelled " was the girls reply. Great I thought that's the end of that........ Not so I have just received confirmation from them that my order has left their depot and will be trackable after 10pm! Wish there was a way of keeping it just to teach them a lesson lol :-)
[HTC One X] shaw23:
Got a SUPERB deal.

Pre ordered my upgrade with P4u to get free media link

O2 unlimited mins + Texts 1GB data 24months at £36, free white one x.

£130 cash back to compensate for deal offered from o2 direct ( same tarrif £32pm)

Was due to arrive on the 10th. phone not deliverd so i called them and they said phone was out of stock so they added another £20 to my cash back as an GOGW. Promised delivery today - 12/4/12.

NO DELIVERY!!! so I called them back and was far from happy on the phone and after about 15 mins of complaining and being left on hold they came back with another GOGW, this time £100 :D :D :D + delivery of phone tomorrow :D

So in total i get a free one x, free media link AND £250 cash back.

HAPPY BUNNY :D:D:D
[HTC One X] gaiden0000:
Yes you can. Although, to be honest, with no OTA updates being out yet, I'd relax for a while as you never know, we might get S-OFF soon and you won't need to go down the HTC Dev route.
[HTC One X] trickyhenry:
Can someone just confirm for me?

affordable mobiles 3 phones are all locked?

I was hoping it'd be like cpw and p4u and phones would come unlocked.

Also do they come with beats headphones?

I'm selling mine on ebay as this will be a 2nd unit. I wont open the box so cant check.

If locked I won't get so much now :(
[HTC One X] wizzkidd:
Ohhh nooooo, where did the £28.50 tariff deal go? All I see is the £36 tariff now :( Is there anywhere that do it less that £36? I was going to cancel my tarrif within the 14 days if a better offer pops up.
[HTC One X] DomCowell:
Second and third deals from the bottom :)

http://www.dialaphone.co.uk/phone/HTC_One_X/HP_Panel_P3/
[HTC One X] wizzkidd:
Ah yes, found it. Thanks.

I just called Orange and asked if they could honour a price match and they said no. They said that going with a third-party reseller means that my business is with them and that any problems I face, I'll be dealing with them and so on. They also said that they couldn't give me the Orange Care Insurance and I would loose my Loyalty bonuses that I have (which currently is 300 additional anytime minutes).

Now im stuck as what to do. Should I upgrade with Orange at £36 inclusive of my 300 additional anytime minutes + my Orange Care? or should I go with the DAP £28.50 tariff and purchase insurance with InsureAndGo.com for £62/year and loose out the extra loyalty minutes and any other customer loyalty with orange?

Humm - any ideas?
[HTC One X] riz157:
If money is not an issue go direct with orange simply for their after sales care.

If you face any issues, which you more likely will, orange will take care of it. It's less hassle direct from network.

Try upgrade through retentions dept they always give a better deal.
[HTC One X] dr9722:
It may be less hassle purchasing direct from the network however it's double the price. IMO the amount of times a phone actually goes wrong to the point of having to send it back then it has to be worth buying from a 3rd party.
[HTC One X] skynet2012:
Update please!!

Please could someone update me on the orders with DAP and tell me if they got a locked branded phone or an unlocked sim free phone as I have ordered my one x but cant have a banded phone!!

Anone??

Thanks Nathan
[HTC One X] skanj:
Mine was unlocked and unbranded from DAP.
[HTC One X] craftycarper1:
Same here, unlocked and unbranded.
[HTC One X] skynet2012:
Oh so happy to hear that from 2 people, making me feel a bit better.

Fingers crossed its not locked with orange bloat. If it is, its going back fast.
[HTC One X] xavier2k3:
Apologies as this is an old post to quote but I think that's sounds pretty ridiculous.

I upgraded my Orange Contract/Handset through Phones4U and I didn't lose anything and still have my Orange Care. I still have my 500mb/month data bonus as well despite moving to a cheaper contract which was only 18 month rather than 24 and I gained the swappables as well. I'd definitely recommend you getting that confirmed as I'm still reaping the benefits despite going through a "third party retailer". With Orange Care, any phone you have on an Orange contract you can have insured. That's how it's supposed to work. You're paying them every month for it.
[HTC One X] dr9722:
Has anyone received there HTC Media Link HD that came free on pre order from P4U? Been over 2 months and still nothing has been received :-(
[HTC One X] nickhuk:
I got mine pretty much exactly 28 days after I received my 1X (on launch day).

Just to put ppl at ease, I upgraded through phones 4 u and they swapped my 1x twice cause I wasn't happy with it. First time I dropped it pretty much on the first day so I blamed the screen flickering (replaced within 5 days of sending back) 2nd was because there was a small gap between back case and screen (replaced within 3 days of sending back)

I was skeptical about upgrading through a 3rd party but if the price is cheaper - normally it's a lot cheaper then Its def worth it.
[HTC One X] shadehh:
2 Year contract with 2000 Minutes/ 1000 SMS / Unlimited internet

179 euros for phone = 144 GBP = 223$

T mobile 18 month contract free phone kept my unlimited data,and instead if mi.uses and texts I get £ 180 a month credit to spend on calls,text,pic message,0800 and 0845 numbers etc
[HTC One X] Laurentius26:
First 4 months 20 euro, after that € 45 on a one year contract.

€ 207 for the device, 1 gig data, 100 minutes.
[HTC One X] mudtail:
Got the One X as part of my contract upgrade from Three. 24-month contract, £29 upfront and £29 a month. 500 minutes, 5000 texts and proper unlimited data :D
[HTC One X] krogoth:
One X - 980PLN = 280$

First 6 months = 17$ next 24 months 26$

300 minutes - unlimited internet - mobile VOD (30 films/month) - mobile TV (24 chanells) - free orange hotspots
[HTC One X] xl VipeR lx:
Got it direct from o2 about 3 years ago, Jan 2010. kept it since. When they first released the simplicity contracts hehe, not going to come off this tariff till they force me off as they don't offer them anymore
[HTC One X] Ripley:
He means the phone
[HTC One X] Idavoll:
Similar to what I've done. I bought the phone for £400 and put in a £10 giffgaff sim. Works out as £640 over 2 years but I get the added benefit of being on the O2 network (which is required as I live in the sticks).

Cheapest O2 would give it to me on with a decent data package was £36 a month for 2 years. So I'm saving over £200.

[HTC One X] NotPotter:
I've had my HOX for a week now, I got it through a 3rd party (buymobilephones.net).

HOX: Black handset (Free)

Network: Three

Plan: The 'one' plan - 24 month contract @ £30pm (2,000 cross-network minutes, unlimited texts, unlimited data (which also includes tethering)).
[HTC One X] DesireMe:
Just upgraded my Desire....

Got from T-Mobile direct

Phone (Black) for £49

300 Mins, U/L Text, 0800 & Voicemail Free, U/L Data, 750MB D/L £22 Per Month, 24m, plus 1 booster (U/L landlines)

Only £7 more than what i was currently paying, so pretty happy.
[HTC One X] urbanlarsson:
Sweden, 3400sek, 2 weeks old without contract. Cost another 400sek to get rid of 3's operator lock.
[HTC One X] Nit3m4re:
Yeah I did the same. By far the best deal I could ever have imagined getting, makes me sceptical to ever get a phone on release now knowing these deals come 2 months later. Planning on whacking in a Giffgaff sim assuming I keep the phone next May.
[HTC One X] chrisjcks:
I splashed out the £480 sim free price and used my GiffGaff sim. (Which I cut down myself using the noosy micro sim cutter I bought from Amazon)

(I got £230 for my SGS2, so the HOX cost me just £250)

£10 a month on giffgaff gets me 250mins, truly unlimited texts (no cap), truly unlimited data (no cap)
