purchased my screen protecters already,in car kit,home dock tooo,

sorry to ramble on lol, cheers,
[HTC One X] Ashalak:
I ordered my One X through Dialaphone almost 2 weeks ago now, I did call and speak to a gent just before ordering and he said they where due them in on the 7th, which if your not aware is Good Friday, if this is true then they probably won't ship till the following Tuesday after Easter Monday. That would make delivery date the 11th which is what everyone's order probably does say!

I live in hope that they may come in a day earlier and MAYBE come on the Friday/Saturday but it is unlikely so I am just banking on the 11th, itll be far less disppointing that way :)
[HTC One X] Evil-Dragon:
I don't know why companies like HTC choose such a stupid time to release handsets. They could have chose any week, instead they choose Easter week. So annoying, lol.

But you are right, all these conspiracy theories about the phones being shipped late due to branding are probably all a load of crap. It's just the lack of days available to deliver due to the holidays that is causing the delays.

It's still not to say obviously that some phones could be branded, but lets hope not.
[HTC One X] craftycarper1:
Dialaphone will be mostly delivering today. Tracking numbers etc received last night, RM track and trace confirm delivery today before the guaranteede time which i guess is 1pm.:)
[HTC One X] welshandy2322:
just turned up :D:D going to put it on charge then finish painting the house:mad:
[HTC One X] welshandy2322:
i also had the same email.but mine is here now:D
[HTC One X] craftycarper1:
WOOHOO......The Eagle has landed.....:D

see you in a few days.:cool:
[HTC One X] Nos0x:
Got mine this morning too!
[HTC One X] DomCowell:
Family member has seen the royal mail lady in the next village, the wait begins :D
[HTC One X] Nos0x:
How long does it normally take to get your sim activated? I've put mine in the phone and sent a text to my new number but not received it yet :/
[HTC One X] craftycarper1:
My Voda sim says it can take up to 48hrs, but on previous experience usually a couple of hours.
[HTC One X] DomCowell:
Just wondering if someone would be able to comment on whether there Orange handset from DAP has branding on it?

Still awaiting mine.

---------- Post added at 11:03 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:49 AM ----------

Phoned T-Mobile, requested my PAC code, the guy on the other end claimed I didn't sound old enough to be the account holder, and said I was lying.

So, now I have to go to a ****ing shop to get my PAC code - really? They have no hope in keeping me with them now.
[HTC One X] Nos0x:
Got mine this morning on an Orange contract, no branding whatsoever.
[HTC One X] maverick1103:
Excellent was this from DAP?

Yes long day indeed, im at work until 5 will collect mine then.

I have had a quick hands on a grey one today and i was impressed it looked lovely, but i still prefer the white one :)
[HTC One X] DomCowell:
Excellent news - from DAP I am assuming!

That has made my day even better (mind you my day was destroyed by T-****ing-Mobile
[HTC One X] DomCowell:
"I'm the one you've been waiting for"

IT HAS ARRIVED :D

And yeah, no Orange branding what so ever.
[HTC One X] Evil-Dragon:
Still waiting on mine.
[HTC One X] nikzDHD:
Got mine delivered at 11am to work, but won't open until later this evening doh.

Hopefully it's all in working order.
[HTC One X] Evil-Dragon:
My phone arrived just before 1 by local postie. It's sitting lifeless on charge at the moment. Hopefully it won't take too long.

No branding. Yay!
[HTC One X] Ashalak:
Mine arrived just before 1! I had almost given up hope that they'd deliver it on time, but it did get here in the nick of time.

First impressions are amazing but I am at work so don't really have much time to put it through it's paces, I've got it on charge for later though :D

Mine didn't come branded with anything at all either, I'm with Voda.

I couldn't find the reference number for The Gadget Helpline though, I'd really like to nip that in the bud :(
[HTC One X] johnbhoy89:
anyone cancelled their gadget helpline thing? how did you do it? there doesnt seem to be any info in the delivery
[HTC One X] tomqman:
i think you will get a email within 3ish days
[HTC One X] skanj:
I've got my email around 15 minutes ago
[HTC One X] BaZ87:
Mine arrived around 12.30 today :D I was actually beginning to panic thinking it wasn't going to come :o

Gadget helpline cancelled then called Orange to cancel my itemised billing and port my t-mobile number across. Now I just need to wait for my Orange sim to fully activate and I'm away :D
[HTC One X] johnbhoy89:
anyone got their phone connected to their network yet?
[HTC One X] craftycarper1:
Yes, mine activated on Voda about 2o mins ago.
[HTC One X] thermalboyz:
Mine changed to 12 April Delivery from 11 April due to unforeseen process problems. Damm....will ring them up on Saturday. Office hr now closed.
[HTC One X] DomCowell:
Nope, Orange said they had a high number of activations today, so it may take up to 24 hours - still waiting myself.
[HTC One X] Ashalak:
My sim went active at about 5ish so it's working now, I also got an E-Mail from The Gadget Helpline with a reference number, after that it was easily cancelled on there website.

I just have to wait for Vodafone to contact me now with some account details so that I can port my number, I can't seem to find anything in my contract with an account number so I would expect them to get in touch shortly.

My GF is already getting annoyed that I am giving the phone more attention, I can't help it though it's freakin' awesome! :D
[HTC One X] nickkuk:
I'm really pleased with the phone and pleased that DialAPhone exceeded my expectations and delivered it today rather than the 11th, but I'm pretty disapointed that there are no beats headphones included. Its supposed to be a flagship beatsaudio device so to ship it with cheap headphones, and not even the premium HTC ones, is a bit short-sighted in my opinion and would have been a unique selling point when other manufacturers release similar spec phones.

I thought it had been confirmed that DAP/Phones4U were including beats headphones? Is anyone else disapointed?
[HTC One X] BaZ87:
Somebody asked DAP's twitter account about it and received a reply saying they did come with beats headphones. A couple of days later they replied to the tweet again to say that in actual fact they didn't. I don't think they ever mentioned it on their site or put out anysort of statement/tweet addressed to everybody saying they would.

I suppose you could try your luck and give them a call, claiming you placed your order on the back of the tweet stating they would come with beats.
[HTC One X] eteyen1:
is there anyone who ordered by calling DAP but ultimately they put it through P4U? I had called to order through DAP but the order went through P4U in the end for some reason.

Havent received any correspondence regarding delivery or dispatch, only an email saying media link delayed. DAP closed now :(
[HTC One X] sebbo90:
Yeah I did about a week ago and got the phone today :)
[HTC One X] Evil-Dragon:
Mine activated about 2 hours ago on Orange.
[HTC One X] DomCowell:
Connected with orange
[HTC One X] BaZ87:
Mine activated just now too :D

Remember to cancel your itemised billing (if you don't want it of course).
[HTC One X] eteyen1:
I AM RAGING:mad:

Did the live chat thing on P4U site and asked where my phone was, was told that there was some address issue so my order hadnt been processed?! :( considering its an upgrade anyway, they shouldnt need detailed address history but whatever, they asked me for it so I gave it to them at time of getting upgrade! So I called customer service and they said they didnt have the house number for one of my previous addresses.

Even though they bloody sent me an email confirming media link is delayed, so no idea why they couldnt contact me about my address, they have my freaking mobile number too!

What's even more frustrating is that the very next day after I ordered I saw a better deal on O2 upgrade so called up to see if they would match it. They refused, saying that they had a no returns policy on upgrades, and that my upgrade had already been processed so they couldnt do anything about it.

The guys who deal with accounts are closed so it will have to be tomorrow. the girl on the other end tried to say she would send an email so they could rectify it and send the phone out to me! No way was I accepting it that easy. I said that I had seen better deals, which is what I called about the next day when they point blank told me my upgrade had gone through so they couldnt change it. So I insisted that they cant put it through tomorrow, they have to call me first to discuss it cause they are jerking me around. /rant

Planning to milk it for all its worth, what do you guys think I should try and get then?

previous agreed deal was- free phone +medialink, £75 cash back, £37pm 24 months, 600 mins, unl text, 1GB internet, free phones4u cloud wifi + BT openzone.
[HTC One X] DomCowell:
Your original deal was crap :P
[HTC One X] eteyen1:
what do you suggest I get then? what's your deal? :o
[HTC One X] JimmyEatFood:
Phone is going back. Not happy with o2 forcing image compression.

Will reorder with a new operator though.

Apologies for the uninformative post earlier, battery was running out on the One X so just posted quickly. Hope this has been helpful!
[HTC One X] BaZ87:
Dialaphone are no longer offering the free media link and for gods sake, don't let the Orange swapables sway your decision.

I've just spent an hour messing around with Orange Customer Services trying to sort my swapables. First of all I selected Sky Sports TV - viewed it for a few seconds to test it, closed it and then went back to view it and got presented with a message telling me it's not compatible with my phone. I phoned up Orange and the person I spoke to de-selected Sky Sports TV as my swapable and told me to select it again and it should work. I went to select the swapable again only to find that the only swapable option I had availabe was some Russell Grant horoscope thing. Phone Orange back, the agent said she'd fixed the problem and to try again, when I did there was still only the horoscope option. I then tried accessing my swapables with a different browser and still had no luck with Sky Sports TV. 3rd call to Orange and finally I get told that the One X isn't compatible with most of the Swapables right now.

With a bit of fiddling using the below link (designed for the Galaxy Nexus), I've managed to get the Times app and Deezer working (still no luck with either mobile tv swapables):

http://mobilereviewsite.co.uk/how-to-get-orange-swapables-like-sky-sports-on-galaxy-nexus/

Rant over :p
[HTC One X] DomCowell:
Give it time, sir, give it time.

Deezer is what I really want - for the price paying, unlimited music is a superb offer. To me, swapables are simply a bonus on what is already a good deal.
[HTC One X] BaZ87:
The fact they aren't currently compatible wasn't the issue, the inept customer service agents was though.

I'm not even sure if Deezer will work using the normal swapables route. After my Sky Sports attempt, the only compatible swapable showing was the horoscope thing so I couldn't try it. It was only when I used the link above that I was able to get it going.
[HTC One X] skanj:
Anyone had the screen flickering issue? Unfortunately I have!
[HTC One X] ST Kyle:
Got the phone yesterday, absolutely awesome, Orange on the other hand has got awful coverage at my work, my Nexus One is is currently acting as a wifi hot spot with my O2 sim, gonna have to contact DAP to change my network, hopefully I'll be able to return the Orange sim and pick up an O2 contract.
[HTC One X] maverick1103:
Same here, my gf went to bed and I didn't realise...oops! :D

Love the phone so much, the screen is just wow and audio quality through my hi-fi is decent after changing the beats audio headphone section :)
[HTC One X] TacticalTimbo:
Funny, I got the text and followed it to the orange micro site, where all swappables were available to dl. I've only chosen Deezer so far but it went on without a hitch. Getting the coverage on the other hand, well thats another thing. Still it can work over WiFi indoors!
[HTC One X] maverick1103:
On the back of this, for everyone who signed up to Orange with swapables what are you thoughts?

I've choosen Deezer and Sky Mobile, however I'm rather disappointed with Sky mobile, as I first set up Deezer and went through the set up process downloaded the app and its pretty good for free.

Did the same for Sky Mobile and there isn't an app (I thought we would use Sky Go) and quality is awful (even on wifi). Its squashed and rather poor, doubt I could watch something on there.

Anyone else thought the same?
[HTC One X] Evil-Dragon:
Dunno what happened with my swappables. I only get one appearing one my page. Russell Grants Astrology. Do not want. Don't tell me I need to ring Orange.
[HTC One X] BaZ87:
That's what was happening to me. After talking to 3 different people I was told that the phone currently isn't compatible with the other swapables. Although maverick's post says otherwise.
[HTC One X] nevillejb75:
Its arrived,I was at work ,went home in dinner break and to my surprise it was left on my doorstep,now I've gotta wait till after work till I can play with it
[HTC One X] craftycarper1:
I think you'll find that the 7th is actually the Saturday, originally they said they were expecting delivery on the 5th, which if true and they got them out for delivery on the 5th, they could possibly be arriving on our doorsteps on the 7th because a Guy at P4u told me that DAP do Saturday deliveries. We live in hope.
[HTC One X] Chartist:
I have just bought a Nokia for my daughter through Dialaphone and can confirm they deliver on Saturdays - they use Royal Mail.

Also the 5th is the original date that was given for the release of the phone some time ago. We know HTC have managed to get it out earlier to many shops. Dialaphone may simply not have updated the original estimate in the light of the earlier availability of stock. Fingers crossed.
[HTC One X] nikzDHD:
For my sake hope it's on a weekday! I've got my phone being delivered to work lol as they were stating 11th. God forbid if I have to camp it out at work if they ship early for Saturday doh!
[HTC One X] Chartist:
Volunteer for some weekend overtime to help pay for the phone:)
[HTC One X] det66:
Prob the reason it's not delivered on Friday is because it's good Friday
[HTC One X] nikzDHD:
Good plan stan ;)
[HTC One X] Chartist:
You know it makes (HTC) Sense:)
[HTC One X] Ashalak:
Ah so it is! It's the 6th then they told me, either way it was definetly Good Friday and a day after the 'General' date batted around of the 5th. Like I said, personally I am banking on the 11th, that's what they're stating so there is no point second guessing that date, but knowing that they use Special Delivery through Royal Mail as their preferred postage means there is a chance it could show up sooner, it just depends when they actually land with them. Anytime before the 11th is a bonus though! It's worth mentioning that those who arent as familiar with Royal Mail, their Special Delivery service is guarenteed for next day but not at weekends unless you pay extra, that doesn't mean that it may not come with yor regular post though it's just that it's not gaurenteed.

Personally I hope it doesn't come on the Saturday either, I'll have to drive into work to get it too! lol!
[HTC One X] craftycarper1:
I'm just hoping that they are covering their arses by saying the 11th...........

In the words of Veruca Salt.................

I WANT IT NOW!!:D
[HTC One X] azazin:
Since everyone on this forum is getting desperate for the delivery of their HTC One X (including me) :D

I thought i'd let you guys know what DialAPhone told me 2 days ago when I called them up regarding delivery dates.

They told me that they will be getting their stock in hopefully on the 2nd/3rd and that the delivery date stated on the website (11th of April) is merely the latest date possible that the phone will be delivered.

They said that when the stock arrives they should be dispatching the item on the 5th (as HTC have told them they shouldn't dispatch any One X prior to that) and the item should be delivered by Royal Mail.

That's my 2 cents everyone, just thought it might help those that are desperate for more information.

Can't wait until my One X arrives! (hopefully before the 11th)
[HTC One X] Evil-Dragon:
This whole waiting for the 5th to start shipping is rubbish, lots of other e/retailers have already broken the 5th deadline, otherwise we wouldn't have people here on the forum that already have the One X. In all fairness they should just send the phones out as soon as they get them so we can all play. :P

You know it's only fair.
[HTC One X] azazin:
Don't think anyone should have high hopes of a delviery for this saturday, just looked at the delivery section on DAP :(

"Please note that due to security reasons we cannot deliver products to any other address than that of the customer placing the order. At present we can only deliver on a weekday."
[HTC One X] BaZ87:
Just to add to the confusion:

Dialaphone's twitter account have said that if you have already ordered the phone then it should be delivered on the 12th April. My account however still states the 11th as expected delivery.

Being optimistic though, somebody was told by Dialaphone's twitter account a couple of days ago that the handset would come with beats in ear headphones, they have now changed that and confirmed that it actually doesn't come with the beats headphones. Does that mean they have received the phones from HTC, something which would tie in with what azazin was told (about receving the phones on the 2nd)?
[HTC One X] Evil-Dragon:
Also, had confirmation on Twitter and Facebook that handsets ordered on an Orange contract should be unbranded (generic)
[HTC One X] nikzDHD:
I think they may have some sort of agreement or something so can't ship early unlike the likes of those who sell the handset sim free. Also depends on the operators maybe won't look good if a third party ships before the official networks do that's my thinking.
[HTC One X] azazin:
Everyone, please contact DialAPhone via Phones4U online live chat feature here:

http://support.phones4u.co.uk/pe/index.jsp

I am currently speaking to one their agents regarding the deliveries, hopefully someone will get a straight answer from them.
[HTC One X] dannysmith43:
I spoke to Phones4U today, they said it would be sent out on Thursday 5th as special delivery for Friday...hope so!
[HTC One X] azazin:
Did you order from Phones4U or DialAPhone? Also I don't think any deliveries are happying on Friday or next Monday due to holiday days.
[HTC One X] dewhurst88:
Nothing is gonna get posted on friday from phones4u they use Royal Mail and its good friday a bank holiday so there will be no post... thats why on there website they had put it up as the 7th the saturday as royal mail do saturday deliverys but they have removed that from there website in the last hour.
[HTC One X] riz157:
Don't expect Friday delivery its either Thursday or Saturday if they deliver on Saturdays in your area which probably isn't likely.
[HTC One X] dannysmith43:
Ouch! I ordered via DAP but when I called they had to put me through to P4U helpdesk! Damn its Tuesday then...:(
[HTC One X] Chartist:
Royal Mail deliver special delivery items on a Saturday but they only guarantee next day delivery for Monday to Friday unless the sender pays extra for Saturday. In other words, there is a good chance of it being delivered on a Saturday but they won't be held responsible if it isn't.
[HTC One X] nikzDHD:
I don't think no one will get it on Saturday it states on their terms somewhere they only deliver on weekdays. So 11th is about right depending when they ship it.
[HTC One X] sebbo90:
When I asked I had got told that delivery had been arranged for the Saturday, so fingers crossed on that
[HTC One X] SufyaanP:
I just called Dial a phone up to find out about my media link because i never got a confirmation e-mail and to asked about delivery. she told me that the phone had been advertised incorrectly and I will be getting a GREY phone instead of a white!!!:confused:

I just agreed as I've still got a week before the phone arrives so i can cancel but has anyone else had the same problem?

btw she said delivery will be the 11th unless I get an email that states otherwise.
[HTC One X] craftycarper1:
My DAP status has now changed to "Order awaiting dispatch"..........

Could it possibly go out tomorrow for Saturday delivery??:rolleyes:
[HTC One X] DomCowell:
Pretty sure mine has been like that since order - on the 24th of March. Or was it Awaiting Stock..?
[HTC One X] craftycarper1:
It was awaiting stock from day 1, status changed this morning on mine.
[HTC One X] DomCowell:
Ah I get it, yeah mine has also changed this morning then :) Now, surely no company could reason a one week dispatch..? (he says hopefully..)
[HTC One X] johnbhoy89:
Order Type:	New Phone Order

Status:	Order Awaiting Dispatch

Delivery Date:	11 Apr 2012

it previously said awaiting stock.
[HTC One X] Evil-Dragon:
My order has also changed to awaiting dispatch from awaiting stock. Still saying 11th though.
[HTC One X] azazin:
Same as everyone elses order mine has also changed to awaiting dispatch, but it still says the 11th.
[HTC One X] craftycarper1:
I'm guessing (hoping) that by "awaiting dispatch" it means they have taken delivery of units. And are readying them for delivery.......hopefully by the weekend, and am still thinking that by stating the 11th as delivery date, they were just covering their arses incase they gave an earlier date, then couldn't fulfill the date stated.
[HTC One X] azazin:
I just called them up and they said that their stock of HTC One X have arrived at their warehouse and that the product will be delivered on the arranged delivery date, meaning that it will probably be delivered on the 11th or 12th D:
[HTC One X] DomCowell:
They are risking it all. With T-Mobile putting theirs up for sale tomorrow, if they can match (well change it around a little bit), DAP will lose one customer.
[HTC One X] JimmyEatFood:
Mine is still stuck at Awaiting Stock :(
