How much did you pay or what contract you get? 3 are being assholes with me ATM. Trying to upgrade a couple months early and they want up front cash. Not giving them any though.

---------- Post added at 01:13 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:12 AM ----------

Is this site trustworthy though? Anyone ordered from here before and been OK?
[One (M7) General] brizzle7:
Saw the dummy model for the first time today, even that looked great.
[One (M7) General] djbenny1:
What's the problem with them wanting you to buy out your contract? How are they assholes for making you stick to the deal you made?

As far as the site goes, they received a slew of rewards in 2012 look at the bottom
[One (M7) General] horsetastic:
Haha they're only assholes because I'm inpatient. I'll almost definitely stay with three especially as they're upgrading everyone on three to lte automatically and at no extra cost. Plus all you can eat data = win!

Just want the phone so badly already!
[One (M7) General] daleski75:
I know how you feel and 2 weeks to wait or possibly less seems like an eternity ;)
[One (M7) General] djbenny1:
Exactly, 4g at no extra cost is incredible. Hopefully they keep that promise.
[One (M7) General] Narom88:
I'm wondering if that would apply to sim only contracts?

£12.90 for all you can eat data sounds just lovely!
[One (M7) General] happysteveo:
I would expect it to be for all Three's tariffs as their data coverage is their main selling point.
[One (M7) General] Narom88:
Very tempted by it, have tweeted them but i don't expect an answer till Monday.

Juts have to wonder about the signal, i'm leaving o2 due to it being rubbish and was planning on going to Orange since i know i can get it here. I may just order a free sim to see what it's like first.
[One (M7) General] ragingredbull:
Be seeing you guys over on this side of xda more frequently. Just pre-ordered a black One today from Mobile Phones Direct in the UK. Delivery date 13 working days though. Can't wait.

Is anyone like me checking their credit card each day to see if the money has been taken off?... I need to get a life lol

Spoke to Phones4u yesterday who said so far it's still the 15th for delivery.
[One (M7) General] kalo88:
Just checked mine and this lovely thing appeared, not just as pending but an actual payment taken.

Never been so happy to see a balance on my credit card lol :D
[One (M7) General] daleski75:
When did you order mate?
[One (M7) General] kalo88:
20th Feb :)
[One (M7) General] chaps:
They have taken my payment also. My order was placed on the 23rd Feb.
[One (M7) General] kalo88:
Still don't have any further emails from P4U, only the original "Your order is currently being processed." email.
[One (M7) General] Narom88:
Mine's still not there :( I ordered on the 25th tho
[One (M7) General] daleski75:

You ain't getting one Daleski......if i were you i would nip into town (without your wife knowing of course).....and kick some butt in the P4U store!:laugh:

You might even get lucky and get to play with a live demo unit, i haven't been in for a few days, but they might be there now, if not go and tease yourself in the 3 Store!:laugh::laugh:
[One (M7) General] Big_Rich_1983:
I'm due an upgrade on April 11th... hope the 64Gb version is available by then, and that there's a 4.2.2 ROM for it!

I also hope it's a big enough leap technologically to warrant leaving my trusty Sensation, as the One X, One X+ and Nexus 4 have all been disappointments up to now.
[One (M7) General] daleski75:
LOL I am definitely getting one and I will be in town next weekend to have a look but one of my friends had a look at the phone in the 3 store and was impressed by it as it was not much bigger than his current nexus 4.

My credit card had a pending payment so soon very soon it shall be on there... or I will take your approach and kick some phones4u butt!

You right m8 I sounded like an isheep.
[One (M7) General] vizzy:
I'm being serious. In terms of data yes they are good. But, for general signal they are poor. I was also on 02 for 3-4 years, but recently moved as 02 are just expensive. They also, seem to be lacking in development. Hence why I'm moving to T-Mobile. I'm with virgin atm but as soon as I leave the country it doesn't even connect to foreign networks and I travel a lot for work.
[One (M7) General] djbenny1:
yea i sent away for a couple last week, still waiting on them to arrive! shame i have to top it up to find out though lol - i have a spare phone, i guess i could whack the sim in there and just see how the signal is as i go around??

hmm, thats not good news.

i have had 3 in the past, and back then i remember the signal being pretty decent. i had orange after that, and they were certainly MUCH worse.

like i said ive had o2 since then and i dont remember 3 being any worse than o2 - but ive only really used it in a fairly small area (northern ireland) - i will probably be moving to england (outer london) in the next 6 months. i dont imagine there will be any problems there on any network
[One (M7) General] abhs89:
Managed to get it on orange from phones4u as an upgrade at £31 on an 18 month contract free, with the headphones and case.
[One (M7) General] Narom88:
Likewise.

Going up to over £16 for a sim only contract, where as it's £10.50 with orange.
[One (M7) General] djbenny1:
thats very cheap

are you sure its 18 months??

i was looking around and i noticed orange do it for 24 months @ 31 per month, free phone
[One (M7) General] jhericurls:
Indeed, seems a few people have manage to get good upgrade deals. Not found any new contract deals that match them yet.
[One (M7) General] abhs89:
Yup I specifically asked for an 18 Month contract. I got 400 mins 750mb internet unlimited texts and 2 swappables on Orange. I have heard of people getting it for £26 per month from tmobile with 500 mins unlimited texts and internet on a 24 month contract.

EDIT: note this is an upgrade not a new contract.
[One (M7) General] djbenny1:
yea but "upgrade" usually means absolutely nothing, in my experience there is absolutely no advantage to upgrading over taking a new contract except that you keep your old number
[One (M7) General] abhs89:
I think I got a £5 loyalty discount. the original contract is £36 per month.

It quite an increase in price of £19 per month for the Desire HD for when that came out. :(

[One (M7) General] Bebida:
No mate friends&family tmobile did offer it free at 31 with full monty 18mnth contract tho which I thought was also a good deal but couldn't resist a bit of lte. If it was full price I wouldnt have paid it tho.
[One (M7) General] abhs89:
You know someone that works for TMobile/EE? or is it a second contract?

Spoken to three.co.uk Customer Services again today as ordered HTC One and have no confirmation email's etc......however they have assured me again today that my phone will be delivered tomorrow and that if I phone after 09:30am they will be able to give me a estimated delivery within 'an hour'.......

I double checked my order, HTC One in Silver of the all you can eat £36 deal....I left the conversation at this point. Will update tomorrow if they deliver and it is a HTC One as not convinced that they haven't shipped another handset by mistake.....
[One (M7) General] djbenny1:
did you buy off 3's site?

is that a free phone?
[One (M7) General] dai_griff:
I tried 4 times to use the website to pre order and it crashed every time ended up placing the order over the phone. When I spoke to them today they said that they had system problems all weekend but my order had been picked and shipped on Saturday for delivery tomorrow....this is a new contract for me.
[One (M7) General] debully:
I reckon you'll get a shiny one-x in the post mate ;-(
[One (M7) General] dai_griff:
Yeah I reckon I'm getting something else but they completed over the phone the order I started on the web.....lets see what happens tomorrow....lucky I'm off tomorrow so lets see

---------- Post added at 09:50 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:45 PM ----------

They also took the £69 up front payment that's for the HTC One only.....plus they don't do other HTC phones in silver....ah well I'm getting something tomorrow that's for sure
[One (M7) General] kalo88:
If you do get a HTC ONE you're very lucky, it's not meant to launch until 15th March.
[One (M7) General] daleski75:
Checked my credit card this morning and no payment taken out yet and for the other guys who might get theirs in the next few days, I hope you get the HTC One and not the HTC One X so good luck :)
[One (M7) General] Phil750123:
ive seen elsewhere (last week) that the 5th is the expected release date (not the full one though) so it could be true.

Though ive not seen anywhere saying that they have a phone on the final version of software yet which makes me question it.
[One (M7) General] daleski75:
Guess just keep and eye on emails/orders and hope for the best then and also the 15th isn't a million miles away either.
[One (M7) General] dai_griff:
Just called three,they cannot give me the tracking code as the delivery company hasn't updated the order process with it........They confirmed the order has been dispatched, a silver HTC One.. if it don't come today the only option I have is to get it re-delivered on Friday. Knew this was to good to be true. Also, not had any email from three even confirming the order and payment..... This is not a good start.....Lucky Tomb Raider has turned up so going to play that whilst waiting for three to tell me what's happening. Phoning them back at noon.
[One (M7) General] daleski75:
Keep us up to date and fingers crossed for you and you could be the first guy in the UK to get the HTC One ;)
[One (M7) General] Phil750123:
yer i didnt pre order as there would be no one in at home to accept delivery and i work at a school which deliverys go missing a lot.

Im waiting for my local p4u shop to phone me, they said they would as soon as they got them in to sell. (promised them i would be

going on a £40 month contract to get them to save me one)

interesting that 3 is the first to start sending them out though! if it is a htc one that is.
[One (M7) General] RCJ89:
Breaking news! I have just rang a couple three stores around london after reading some of the posts about people getting HTC One's this week via three uk.

It turns out to be true that Three UK will be getting the phones in stock on the 8th of march (aka this friday aka a week early) and will be the first uk network/retailer to be getting the HTC One to UK customers!

heres hoping p4u and the others take delivery much earlier than the 15th!
[One (M7) General] craftycarper1:
Thats good news.....for some, but a poor show from HTC/P4U.....after the big deal about the release event and turning 1 London P4U store into a showpiece place, this happens, i would have thought P4U would have been the choice for exclusivity!

Oh well, maybe not as long to wait as we thought.
[One (M7) General] daleski75:
Hopefully phones4u won't make us all wait until the 15th then.

[One (M7) General] djbenny1:

looking forward to this mystery being solved lol
[One (M7) General] RCJ89:
It is actually a joke that P4U doesn't get the exclusivity, maybe HTC feel that phones 4 u done the launch so another provider can get the actually stock earlier.

Either way that has made me more impatient as I am using a 5800 with a resistive touch screen and still another 11 days to go.
[One (M7) General] onlinejobwork:
you r the lucky ONE to get ONE early than others, I got no confirmation of delivery yet from p4u:confused:

Amazon are doing it with the free Wireless Media link, should be about the same price.
[One (M7) General] Phil750123:
what 3's signal like.

I was going to go ee purely for 4g, but i hardly use data so im thinking about saving me the money and going on 3.
[One (M7) General] chiefy009:
My signal is brilliant on 3

Just looked amazon UK got HTC one at 519.95
[One (M7) General] djbenny1:
where do you live?

i too am on the fence about 3 - i see that they use orange (and therefore t-mobile too i think) network for 2g, but their own for 3g

i dont think anyone would argue that 3s data coverage is the best in the UK, but 2g is just as important to me

EDIT. in fact that is something i always wondered - is your phone always connected to 2 networks? a 2g one for calls and texts as well as a 3g or 4g one for data?

or does 3g or 4g also do the calls and texts??
[One (M7) General] chiefy009:
I live UK and phone very rarely drops signal.
[One (M7) General] dai_griff:
OK, just got off phone with 3, they are now full of apologies, phone now not being delivered till next Friday (15th).......lost a day's holiday (today) and will have to do the same again next Friday :(
[One (M7) General] Wh1techapel:
3 have great signal coverage, and they have signed up for 4G which will be considerably cheaper than EE. And you haven't got to put up with Kevin Bacon on all of your mail outs. Which is THE most important thing!!
[One (M7) General] Phil750123:
ive just had a look online and literally the whole of my area has brilliant covered, apart from my road and a few around it

If you upgrade to EE yes. Otherwise, no. Personally I don't think 4g is worth the money EE is charging. But I don't stream films or anything, just generic internet use.
[One (M7) General] djbenny1:

Also, when they do introduce 4g, they aren't going to charge extra for it

Oh and no absurd download limit
[One (M7) General] horsetastic:
I will definitely be getting myself a contract from buymobilephones.net on 3 as I have been with them for years and have always had a service better than my wife on o2 and sister on orange. My wife will be moving to 3 when she can as well.

Plus they already have semi-ultrafast (not lte yet) up to 10 meg though...in my area at no extra cost
[One (M7) General] LadFromWales85:

Carphonewarehouse vs Three UK

Hi,

I am also on the wagon getting ONE . I have recently ordered directly form three (i am from London)....to my disappointing I found out today that device will be locked for 60 days untill I am able to unlock and on top of that I will have to pay 15.99 . I have also paid upfront fee for device of 69 pounds for 36 per month contract :

Now I found out that I can get same deal with 49 pounds upfront deal from carphone warehouse on 3 uk and m,any other better deals. Sorry can't post any links until 10 posts.

My question would be if there is a big difference in sound quality between Beats by Dr. Dre Solo Headphones vs Beats by Dr. Dre urBeats™ Earphones?

What I also checked on the phone with carphonewarehouse that they phone on contract with 3 HTC ONE(I was told twice) comes unlocked.How it comes 3 UK sells locked phones and CW sells them unlocked?

Thanks and eagerly awaiting for response! :)
[One (M7) General] Phil750123:
Just a guess, but i would imagine that carphone warehouse get a bunch of htc ones in unlocked, that way they can put any sim card in on any carrier.

Where 3 just sell phones with 3 sims cards, they can lock it down?
[One (M7) General] rizzleboi:
Dialaphone/phones4u order said delivery date of the 4th, rang them and they confirmed I will receive it on the 15th.

[One (M7) General] nebulaoperator:
Sorry didn't get the question ,,Where 3 just sell phones with 3 sims cards, they can lock it down?,,

That is silly from 3 anyway. Now I have to cancel my pre order just to get phone from somewhere else just to be with them again:)
[One (M7) General] Bebida:
The carphone warehouse use generic equipment whereas 3 will use branded devices the reason they do this is so if you wish to unlock your device they make a bit more money...but theoretically would provide more hardware assistance if the device was provided by them. Personally I've never been with 3 so don't know what the customer support is like but at the end of the day they are a buisness and no buisness would sell you a device and say go ahead use it with are competition.
[One (M7) General] daleski75:
Three's customer support is very very bad but their tariffs are very good for what you get.
