Hi Bebida,

One thing caught my attention is when you mentioned about ,,....more hardware assistance if the device was provided ...,, would you tell me more detail about it even though you come from different network provider. Thanks
[One (M7) General] Bebida:
Generally if u get a device directly from a network if u have any issues u can contact them directly and they will replace or repair for you if in warrenty. Whereas if indirect they will not. I know with my network this is fairly fast however 3rd party companies usually work on a 4week turn around but as I say I have no 1st hand experience with 3
[One (M7) General] Wh1techapel:
Their customer service used to be very bad from what I've heard, I've been with them for 2 years and they've nothing short of excellent for me. Much better than my last provider. (T-Mobile_
[One (M7) General] daleski75:
Sounds like it has improved a fair bit from when I was with them a few years ago, back on topic does anyone think us lot who have preordered from phones4u if the phone gets released earlier will they honour that (providing they have stock) or will they make us wait till the 15th?.
[One (M7) General] MrKaon:
Guys anyone knows dose Three's One handset supports all 4G frequency (800MHz, 1.8GHz, 2.6GHz)? or only their upcoming 1.8GHz?
[One (M7) General] Wh1techapel:
When they first came on the scene, my dad nearly took them to court, they were terrible!

If HTC officially release them early then there's no reason P4U wouldn't send them out early if they can. But if they have planned to send them on a certain date from their warehouse then they might not change that date.

50/50 I'd say. I'd expect the 15th to avoid disappointment!
[One (M7) General] Tetsumi06:
Three: I was with them for 9 years and was pretty happy with the service until this past month when I discovered that ALL customer services have been farmed out to a useless call center (probably in India.)

My HTC One will be coming from P4U with free Dre and case. All because the call center had no authority to make an offer that would keep my (and the other 4 contracts) on the One Plan. They lose 5 x £36 a month all over a £69 upfront cost I refused to pay.
[One (M7) General] djbenny1:
sounds a bit like you cut your nose off to spite your face, not them!
[One (M7) General] nebulaoperator:
Thanks mate. I should also ask people or do little research on it regarding carphonewarehouse hardware assistance.

---------- Post added at 06:10 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:01 PM ----------

Would anyone tell me they experience when bying phone on contract from third party such as carphonewarehouse how is they hardware assistance? Thanks
[One (M7) General] daleski75:
It varies too much from store to store so it's impossible to say sorry but from my experience it goes from crazy bad (full of lies) to very good when you speak to the right person.
[One (M7) General] nebulaoperator:
Thanks . I have never encounter any post purchase problems manufacturer fault or alike and wish my self I never will .I know post service from a mouth of word can be full of **** but this depends on many factors I guess. Talking wrong person and some unique faults. So for me now is decision time.

Any thoughts on : Beats by Dr. Dre urBeats™ Earphones vs Beats by Dr. Dre Solo Headphones that carphonewarehouse offering on three contract guys? Or standard urBeats from HTC will do? Thanks
[One (M7) General] RCJ89:
I would go for the beats solo, only downside to them is if it is raining unless you have a bag or rucksack to put them in.

I was going to get the same deal from carphone on vodafone but I refuse to pay £50 for the phone, when phones 4 u while not offering the beats solo are offering the urbeats and free £25 case and if you was one of the first 250 to pre order a free wireless speaker worth £200+.

Amazon.co.uk LTE?

Hey guys!

I wanted preorder this beast from amazon.co.uk, but i noticed the listed LTE frequency is 1900MHZ!

Is that correct? Does anyone know if the device comes with the UK LTE frequencies, or is it the non LTE version?

I can't seem to contact Amazon about the device specs.

Thanks:fingers-crossed:
[One (M7) General] daleski75:
Sometimes Amazon do get it wrong ;)
[One (M7) General] pricefix23:
After an amusing call with O2 to discuss an upgrade (their rep actually admitted she hadn't heard of the One handset...), just negotiated a deal with Phones4u:

Upgrade on O2 with unlimited mins and txts, 1gb data, unlimited Openzone wifi/etc, 24months, free silver handset and £30 cashback - all for £32/month.

Adding in potential sale of my existing Evo3D, reckon it's a fairly good blag.
[One (M7) General] Tetsumi06:
Hardly. Three won't have 4g in my area before 2015 from the sounds of things. Just in time for another new phone.
[One (M7) General] djbenny1:
at least on three you wouldnt have to pay an extra £10 a month for 50MB of 4G data ;)
[One (M7) General] brainimpact:
I just ordered from Carphonewarehouse b/c the upfront cost is £20 less for 3 than what it would be directly from 3 and I get the choice out of the two kinds of beats Heads sets free too.

I prefer 3 b/c their unlimited data and when they switch 4G on in the summer we get to use 4G at no extra cost
[One (M7) General] djbenny1:
But last time I looked at carphone warehouse, 3 was the only network that didn't include free headphones on a contract??
[One (M7) General] brainimpact:
they added them now http://www.carphonewarehouse.com/mo...l=false&colourCode=SILVER&modelName=HTC One#b
[One (M7) General] firmbiz94:
I wish they offered cellular deals like that in the US ...can't believe they just throw in a 300$ pair of beats solos on an equivalent of a 80$ month contract with unlimited data
[One (M7) General] xXxG0dzRAgexXx:
They probably throw in the $300 Beats because they sound like a $50-$75 Pair. I wish they did offer that in the U.S though, I know too many people that would pay $200 to buy them off me. :D
[One (M7) General] Tetsumi06:
The unlimited data on 3 was so good I almost used 300MB one month. If I stood in one of 3 ten foot sweet spots in town I could actually get 3g rather than 2.5.

Anyway, shared my experience; shutting up now.
[One (M7) General] paorpas:
expansys.co.uk and expansys.es ship on 14th?
[One (M7) General] darrenjdoc:
My first two Android handsets were the Desire and Desire HD. Got fed up with Sense and also the crappy speakers on both handsets.

Switched to the SGS2, then the S3 and the Note2. I liked them and their great dev support but I got fed up with the plastic.

Then got myself the N4 and love it. Also had a Lumia WP8 for a few days and loved the live tiles.

Looks like Blinkfeed is exactly what i want in a 2013 Android handset (Flipboard is one of my fav apps) and build quality just oozes quality.

So looking forward to it :)
[One (M7) General] djbenny1:
genuinely curious, where do you live?
[One (M7) General] riz157:
Spoke to p4u apparently phone will be delivered on the 15th!
[One (M7) General] manook:
Its down to where you use it. I live in Sussex and the coverage is really good. I've used o2 and Vodafone who were equally rubbish for my needs. Three just works everywhere I need and the unlimited data is a bonus.
[One (M7) General] djbenny1:
yea im currently carrying around an old phone with a 3 sim to check coverage - i'll be living in either central belfast or outer london almost definitely, so i dont imagine there being issues on any of the networks there but so far the coverage im seeing on 3 is impressive - better than o2 for sure
[One (M7) General] 3473:
I got a good deal from Amazon UK, thanks to them putting the wrong price :laugh: they seemed to have corrected it the next day when I checked, so I guess I'm just lucky?
[One (M7) General] keemyb:
Went to a 3 store in merry hill and saw the silver model. Camera quality is quite good! Felt about as light as an iPhone 5 to be fair, the build quality was tight!

They did tell me however that they are not expecting stock until the end of the month, dunno if they meant nationwide or what.
[One (M7) General] kenny17430:
Well I talked to a guy from Amazon, we are couples of guys who had this price :) what is nice, is that they did not change the price for us too as they could have done that easily :)
[One (M7) General] brainimpact:
I've Just got Home From Merry Hill did not look in 3 was in a Rush but did checkout Xperia Z right by the Door in CarPhone Warehouse, the one that as P4U next door
[One (M7) General] ragingredbull:
I live in Greenford less than a mile from the tube station, which has a 3 aerial at, and I cannot get even a bar of service. Been at the same address for 5 years and been with 3 before no problems. Now, nothing but issues. Tried my E3D, wife's SGS3, galaxy nexus nothing. Pity as they would have had my business in a snap. I found their customer service dept to be very good and helpful the times that I called them.
[One (M7) General] djbenny1:
that doesnt make any sense

have you tried other networks?
[One (M7) General] kalo88:
What was the incorrect price?

You're very lucky mind as they don't have to honour it, they could just pull the sale like a lot of retailers do.
[One (M7) General] chiefy009:
Pre ordering tomorrow putting through business so not paying vat £413

Love it now i was going silver but black is nice
[One (M7) General] ragingredbull:
I have. Vodafone is great, O2 and Tesco(on it at the moment), Orange, T-Mobile all great, only 3 do I have a problem with. The wife signed up with them a few months back and when doing so said that there she absolutely has to have a great signal as my son had some pretty bad medical problems. Guy in store showed exactly where the aerial is on top of Greenford tube station. I am on the ground floor of a corner end terrace not half a mile away from the tube as the crow flies but cannot get a reception. To make matters worse, I work in the Media Centre at White City and the reception there is crap too for some reason. Never used to have any signal problems with 3 when the wife and I had Nokia n95's. Only since we moved to android:rolleyes: love the all you can eat data tariffs. Perhaps when they have 4G up and running I will get a better reception and can change back. Until then, just pre-ordered the ONE on T-Mobile as they had the best deal with unlimited data.
[One (M7) General] craftycarper1:
Where is Merry Hill?
[One (M7) General] pnnorth:
Near Dudley.
[One (M7) General] craftycarper1:
This one?-----Unit L90A Merry Hill Shopping Centre, Brierley Hill, Merry Hill, West Midlands
[One (M7) General] djbenny1:
maybe its because youre in a ground floor flat.

friend of mine lived in a ground floor flat in the centre of belfast and had absolutely no signal at any time
[One (M7) General] ragingredbull:
It is possible and the conclusion that I came to. I just found it strange that we did not have any issues pre Android however do now. Had a HTC Desire too that could not get signal either. Will be moving in a while anyway so will try all the providers again once settled to check who is best. Hopefully 3 because they give the best value for money.
[One (M7) General] craftycarper1:
I think it has been said in other forums over the last couple of years that after people moved from "Old" mobiles to newer "smartphones" there were drops in signal pick up. Don't quote me on that, but i do remember it being said before.
[One (M7) General] keemyb:
Yeah
[One (M7) General] qwertyuiop89:
Hi, I've preordered a sim free htc one from phones4u, and also buymobilephones.net.... I'll just return the one which doesn't arrive first!

Do you know if they're releasing different lte/non lte versions (like the s3 was) or is there just one device that works across all networks?
[One (M7) General] catachresistant:
I can't find the sim-free One on buymobilephones?
[One (M7) General] ragingredbull:
Bit upset at the moment. Mobile phones direct now back to 60 upfront and 26 a month 2 years. Went up to 75 upfront when I pre ordered. Oh well will cancel pre order and order it again.
[One (M7) General] qwertyuiop89:
Sorry I should have been clearer, it was a contract (one plan on three) from bmp, and sim free from p4u.
[One (M7) General] ste1164:
They are all LTE enabled.
[One (M7) General] surfer1000:
Me too!!!.....and they just said Black will be delayed, good job I wanted silver!
[One (M7) General] ragingredbull:
I just cancelled mine and re-ordered though it will now come 2 weeks later and another credit check too. £15 is £15 though. I am sure I can just barely hold out another 2 weeks. My E3D is still fine and Tesco's (or should I say O2's) 3G signal in my area is superb and fast so not really in any rush. Also give me some time to see what the issues(if any) will be with the first batch.
[One (M7) General] combat goofwing:
Just found with t mobile if you want to upgrade early they will discount your remaining contract by 25% ,get the phone free and can start my current contract again (18 months) same contract.So this would cost me £150,also they would give me £150 for my one x if I wanted( could get more selling private as its pristine) but want to keep it for the wife.I think this sound ok what do you think

Contract is £35 a month unlimited net (proper unlimited old flex 35 plan and £180 month allowance to spend on calls text,pic messages and 0845,0800 numbers
[One (M7) General] :No-Frost::
Handtec (http://www.handtec.co.uk) is now offering the phone with the official flip case from HTC as a gift =)
[One (M7) General] NexusC:
Does anyone know where i can find the cheapest sim-free HTC One in London?

My sister is going on a citytrip to London a week after the release and the price here in Belgium is 700€( ~610£). So i'm checking in UK and Germany for the lowest price.

Cheapest i found in Germany was 599€ (~521£) and UK @ Phones4U 489,95£ (566€), but on the first page of this topic the price @ Phones 4U was lower, what's up with that?
[One (M7) General] daleski75:
p4u put their prices up for the sim free htc one from £459 to £489
[One (M7) General] clarkgable:
Yes, very annoyingly so. I missed out by a day from when I wanted to purchase it from P4U for £459.99.
[One (M7) General] brainimpact:
I cancelled my order waiting to see if any deals pop up before tomorrow if anyone see's any let me know

Edit: Just spotted this one on Mobilephonesdirect.co.uk they offer no free goodies though :(

What do you think about it?

T-Mobile £26.00 per month, £59.99 upfront for Handset

+ 500 Minutes

+ Unlimited Texts

+ Unlimited Mobile Internet

+ 24 Month Contract
[One (M7) General] Wh1techapel:
I'd order asap, it'll be first come first serve so if they sell out then you'll be kept waiting.

Can't see it selling out, but you never know!
[One (M7) General] riz157:
That's good deal cheapest around.
[One (M7) General] arknailed7754:
Buy mobiles.net on T-Mobile 31 a month 600 minutes ultd texts 1gb data. I've ordered.reviews are mixed for these chaps but going to wait it out see what occurs
[One (M7) General] brainimpact:
yep but big down side is T-mobile are not migrating to 4G they are forcing people to take out new contracts at absurd prices via their EE 4G network with orange, where as 3 are migrating everyone with 4G enabled devices for no added cost or forcing new contracts on people

---------- Post added at 06:16 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:06 PM ----------

Gone back to 3 and ordered from CPW now its just a killer counting down the days getting really excited already.

I'm not changing my mind anymore b/c I want to be getting it on the 15th although some places are guaranteeing if you pre-order by 4pm on the 14th they will deliver it the next day, but if there becomes a huge demand that will probably change so not taking anymore chances.

One and only HTC I owned was a Mozart and that left a bad impression on me so hoping this will restore the trust in them I lost.
[One (M7) General] Ashalak:
I too went for the 12 month death through Dialfone last year with my HOX, unfortunately there is hardly any carriers offering 12 month deals these days, not even 18 months or at least very few and those that are offering it are silly money. The deal we went for last year was astonishing, and I doubt we'll see anything come even close :(
[One (M7) General] craftycarper1:
I have no idea how they thought the 12 month deal would be profitable, i mean the £36 deal i had worked out at £432 + the £109.99 = £541.99, less the cost of the Media link which i think was around £80 at the time, made it £461.99, which was less than the original phone cost, meaning the actual tariff was free!

+ the quidco £65 cashback as well......
[One (M7) General] dai_griff:
Does phones4u take the full payment for the sim free offer at checkout or on dispatch

.......
[One (M7) General] Ashalak:
It was a stonking deal.. I almost felt bad processing that order and very much like a criminal! :laugh:
[One (M7) General] Reckless187:
Im paying £41 per month plus the One X was about £109 direct from Vodafone.
[One (M7) General] craftycarper1:
Do the ones direct from Vodafone come branded and carrier locked?
[One (M7) General] Phil750123:
Anybody going to risk it and turn up to the shop on 15th and hope they have some left?

I did this with the htc sensation and ended up getting it before most of the people who pre ordered and got it delivered!

Im thinking i have 2 p4u shops, 3 ee shops, and 2 carphone warehouse shops with 20 mins of were i live, so 1 of them

must have one left!

Im still undecided on black or silver because i love them both so means im not fussed about which tbh!
[One (M7) General] The-Last-Hylian:
AAArgh

I really wanna preorder the white from CPW.

I think I've still got 12 months left on my HOX contract though...

If I sold it that'd cover about 5/6 months of contract repayments...

hmm...
[One (M7) General] kalo88:
Phones4U Links to the sim free versions

http://www.phones4u.co.uk/shop/shop_justphones_details.asp?ItemKey=663759 - Black

http://www.phones4u.co.uk/shop/shop_justphones_details.asp?ItemKey=663761 - Silver

There was a video showing the black one picks up finger print marks on the back more than the Silver =/ I've ordered the silver though, looks bad asss
[One (M7) General] ste1164:
Pretty sure the 64GB model is for Asia/AT&T only. We can only get 32.
[One (M7) General] craftycarper1:
I'm not 100% sure, but i was under the impression they take payment on dispatch of the handset.
[One (M7) General] craftycarper1:
No luck for me today trying to hunt down a demo unit, 2 P4U stores, 3 CPW stores, Vodafone store, 02 store and EE store, no luck.:crying:
[One (M7) General] chaps:
Damn I hope you're wrong. I was going to hold off for the 64gb model. 32gb is enough on my One X but I think I would need more on the One with its new camera features like 1080p 3 second thumbnails.
[One (M7) General] Reckless187:
It didn't have any exterior branding, just plain One X but it did have some Vodafone bloatware installed. And I'm pretty sure it was locked to Vodafone's network.
[One (M7) General] MrPhilo:
No cos I can't install some games as its like 2-3gb these, my videos and music are limited as well. I have to sort it out to conserve space. When I had my Note 2 I used around 45gb on my micro sd card.
[One (M7) General] The-Last-Hylian:
That's a good point, I wonder how much space the ZOE's take up...

I have all of my music on Google Music app so nothing stored on the phone properly, only games for me which when I nab my Nexus 7 I can port over freeing up more space.

Also, I've seen that the carphone warehouse are offering contracts through Orange and EE, I like the idea of paying out £36 a month as it's what I'm doing now, would I still get 4G connectivity with Orange or is that only EE atm?
[One (M7) General] numbskull100:
Good deal?

Just seen £26 inc 500 mins and unlimited text + data.

Only thing stopping me is will it be as customisable (Android only) as my old faithful HD2? Love the dev that as been done - got a 3 year old phone that still keeps up.

Storage is not really an issue, just really want to see PACMAN / Pure CM10 supported fairly quickly on the One.
[One (M7) General] kalo88:
4g is only through EE buddy, tmobile + orange just get 3g
[One (M7) General] The-Last-Hylian:
Hopefully Orange will get 4G at some point though.
[One (M7) General] kalo88:
The whole system they have is stupid, everyone's phones show EE I believe yet your not really on it.

T-Mobile have their own plans, Orange have their plans and EE have their own plans/speed.. yet your all called EE?

Odd system

[One (M7) General] debully:
I don't care how good a phone is, after 9 months I need a new one due to boredom. I think people who accept 18 or 24 month contacts are crazy. Just my opinion
[One (M7) General] craftycarper1:
Great deal.........if you can afford £52 a month.

It's a hell of an outlay for a phone contract.

agreed it works out fair over 12 months, but i for one know that my wife wouldn't be a happy wifey if i was shelling that out each month for a mobile, i get enough grief at £37 a month.

Last year i got the One X on £37 monthly for 12 months, don't see any deals around like that yet.....still hoping.:D
[One (M7) General] gallifreyangirl:
I have ordered from now its new contract. i think its the red plan.

---------- Post added at 10:18 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:16 AM ----------

I agree for the most part, even though my desire hd feels fresh through roms. However being a student at university, being able to afford a 12month contract or sim free is out of the question. :(
[One (M7) General] brainimpact:
was that there before on phones4U "for the first 800 orders" regarding the ur beats and flip case free offer? did not see it if it was.

edit: BTW CPW have now run out of Beats Solo Headphones and are only offering UR Beats now, luckily I put my order back in on time yesterday.
[One (M7) General] L0cke:
Trouble is if you're on a 12 month contract you'd struggle to get a free upgrade on the latest phone that is out and continue on that 12 month contract. You'd probably have to pay some upfront. I'd rather have a longer contract at a far better rate, then if after a year I am bored I can sell it and buy a new one.
[One (M7) General] vizzy:
That's exactly what I'm thinking.
