SFR will launch the HTC one at the end of march, like LDLC etc. They all said it will be available at the end of the month but not now. F**k I really want it now, I'll have an eye on S4 then.

"[Info du 05/03/2013] Le HTC One subit un retard lié à la forte demande des marchés. HTC annonce une disponibilité pour SFR sur fin mars 2013. Nous vous tiendrons informés dès que nous aurons plus d’informations sur la date exacte de sa disponibilité sur www.sfr.fr et en boutique Espace SFR."

they needed to release this phone like.. yesterday

[One (M7) General] daleski75:
Read this news guys they say the review units have been delayed by 3 weeks if I am reading it correctly?

http://www.afr.com/f/free/technolog...axy_wrapped_in_plastic_LkeNeRR4PM6KKQSX9k1CmI

Indeed, HTC’s One is so premium in its design and materials, the company boasts it takes 150 minutes - longer than it takes most manufacturers to build an entire phone - just to machine one aluminium back. Which might be OK if you’re not planning to sell many units (ominously, HTC One review units have already been delayed three weeks), but which may well be a problem for a mega-volume phone like the Galaxy S.
[One (M7) General] reddragon72:
That's for the units that HTC sends out to companies for review. Usually review units come in around 2-3 days after launch. But HTC has already said that last min software tweaking is taking place so yea it's been three weeks since launch and no news outlet has received a review unit.

This will not effect the 15th date or other dates that have been mentioned.
[One (M7) General] Alsybub:
I hope that's correct. I ordered mine on the 13th from EE.

---------- Post added at 02:15 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:13 AM ----------

I hope it isn't branded. I've found in the past with Orange that if you order for day one they're in such a rush that they're unbranded and occasionally unlocked.
[One (M7) General] Nekromantik:
That sounds about right for Orange/EE. They are only company I know that needs to test phones before releasing them!

Lets see if anything happens today, been told by 2 people Monday they will have "stock" so I will call today asap.
[One (M7) General] hufqnjhu:
I will cancel my preorder and just get one in store instead in a week or so.
[One (M7) General] Arkangel786:
I'm in the same boat as you. I pre-ordered the black one on the 13th but Vodafone can't give me an actual delivery date. Their website says 3-4 weeks!!

Is the black model more popular or did they just make more of the silver?

Sent from my HTC One X
[One (M7) General] Palla71:
There are rumors that they had issues on Black version.
[One (M7) General] HavoK11:
Ordered black on the 5th feel your pain!
[One (M7) General] Hcore:
The black version had an issue that the color went off too easy. But regarding to HTC Sweden it should be fixed by now.
[One (M7) General] jonathan_phang:
My Vodafone Silver turned up this morning, so trying not to spend time at work tinkering with it. Have phoned customer services to activate SIM so will wait until that switches until turning it on and playing with it.
[One (M7) General] HavoK11:
Called up Vodafone to switch to silver apparently they have no stock of either....
[One (M7) General] Tarzan-:
By reading this thread, I can conclude one thing and that is HTC has prioritised all the phone carriers and delayed if not all then most interdependent online retailers e.g Clove, Handtec etc

Not good.
[One (M7) General] HavoK11:
The big carriers pay the bills
[One (M7) General] Tarzan-:
The online retailers ship worldwide (in this case). I won't say they serve more customers than the carriers but their audience is definitely bigger than local carriers.
[One (M7) General] johnbrighton:
Not true at all! No one has got a One directly through EE/T-mobile/Orange - it appears they have no stock.....I might move to Orange and get it through Phones4u - they have it now.....
[One (M7) General] djbenny1:
dont be so sure, mine is from dialaphone (essentially the same as p4u)

and despite being in stock when i ordered on saturday afternoon, im now being told that theyre out of stock

deilvery date for my order still says tomorrow though.

will keep informed
[One (M7) General] daleski75:
fingers crossed for you. :good:
[One (M7) General] Alsybub:
I just had an SMS from EE.

" Hi from EE. Just to let you know we haven't forgotten about your new HTC. We'll be in touch soon to let you know when it's on the way. Thanks for your patience."
[One (M7) General] compact_bijou:
Just had that text from t-mobile, too. Useless bunch of can'ts.
[One (M7) General] Tarzan-:
Just a few messages back someone said he already received from Voda UK, not to mention few others from Orange.
[One (M7) General] Nekromantik:
Orange/EE are useless. They keep telling me no stock of it has ever come in and they still waiting. Now they saying end of this week! The stories keep changing.
[One (M7) General] Raymond Ebertt:
April? I was told March..... Information is hard to follow....
[One (M7) General] Kaichu:
Was told that orders have started to roll out by HTC uks Twitter. Does that mean CPW might have stock this week?
[One (M7) General] MuhKoInc:
Link the post please? Can't see it :/
[One (M7) General] Indy1989:
Ordered with Vodafone and got email today saying still out of stock (black htc one)
[One (M7) General] Kaichu:
HTC UK (@htc_uk) tweeted at 10:32 AM on Mon, Mar 18, 2013:

@kaichu14 sorry to hear that, it started rolling out on Friday so it should be with them soon.
[One (M7) General] sebsal:
Vodafone delivered mine today. Can't believe how great the speakers are on this thing!
[One (M7) General] Kaichu:
It seems cpw are the last to get them :( I want mine dammit.
[One (M7) General] HavoK11:
What colour?
[One (M7) General] radeonorama:
I have been told a tonne of crap from Orange. They are just useless.

So far the excuses have been...

1) we will be releasing in time for the 15th (obv this was before the 15th)

2)we have no stock at all

3) we have stock but are having trouble getting the phone on our internal systems for orders

4) we have stock but are just "testing" them as we are better than other networks who haven just "willy nilly released them"

5)we will have stock by Mon 18th

6)we will have stock by weds 20th

7) we will have stock by Fri 22nd

8)we won't have any stock at all till the 30th

No one will let me pre order over the phone even tho you can via their website and as I'm an upgrade with a wicked loyalty discount, I won't get the same deal elsewhere and the website pre order doesn't include the discount.
[One (M7) General] Nekromantik:
At least you are within your discount period. I am going to loose mine as im upgrading more then 2 months early. Either I wait until June or pay fees to upgrade early or leave.
[One (M7) General] Palla71:
"Merrill Lynch says HTC One will be released in four markets this month"

http://www.phonearena.com/news/Merr...e-released-in-four-markets-this-month_id40973

In fact, they delayed even further the release on the other markets (i.e., Italy now is on April 13th)
[One (M7) General] Kaichu:
Should hopefully have mine shipped sometime next week then.
[One (M7) General] Nekromantik:
Only issue with it being released next week is if Orange dont release it until Friday then we wont get it until 3rd earliest due to bank holidays.
[One (M7) General] Palla71:
(Almost) no available phones, but they're going on with these marketing bullsh*ts!!! :silly:

[One (M7) General] compact_bijou:
"historic world first this spring. From an amazing 8,848m above sea level, Hughes will attempt to make the very first video call with his HTC One"

Take the words 'HTC' and 'One' out of that sentence and it's all complete bollocks because it's been done before many, many times.

The first time was an ITV crew on one of Ran Fiennes's ill fated attempts.
[One (M7) General] asheyb85:
There should be a thread just for the Black edition of the HTC One as it seems the Silver is available to order from P4U. I'm very curious to hear from the person who has been delivered the Black handset and the date it was received ...

My estimated delivery date is 4/4/13 and no reason as to why its been delayed from any sources on the internet regarding why the Black edition is delayed and not the Silver.
[One (M7) General] Palla71:
There were rumors that Black version was delayed due to the fact that first handsets of it were more prone to scratches, etc.
[One (M7) General] asheyb85:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_EWqPpYVE08

Seems fine to me, do you have a source?
[One (M7) General] Palla71:
I saw that video too.

I can't remember the source but, as I said, they were only rumors.
[One (M7) General] Kaichu:
Cpw have always said that both are released at the same time to me...
[One (M7) General] Nekromantik:
Vodafone direct now have stock too. So only Orange/EE and o2 are left.
[One (M7) General] slitear:
I have pre-ordered the black one from Vodafone UK on 28th February, and after finding out about the delays for the black ones I called them up last Friday. They told me it would be wiser to order the silver one if I want it as soon as possible, so I switched to the silver one (don't really care which colour, both are nice). Just had a text and email that my order will be delivered today - which would be great if I wasn't out of country until Monday! ;) Just thought some people who ordered the black one and are still waiting might be interested in this...
[One (M7) General] brainimpact:
Anyone still looking for a deal Asda online have Sim Free on pre-order £499 inc V.A.T you get Media link HD and Flip case included
[One (M7) General] johnbrighton:

Getting my phone tomorrow - ordered thru t-mobile for upgrade on the 2ndMarch, arriving tomorrow morning. Have tracking!!!
[One (M7) General] Super Chimp:
Thanks for the heads up.
[One (M7) General] Nekromantik:
Orange/EE also have stock!

My contract is in my brothers name as I got a 2nd contract on his account for discount so he is making the call now for a upgrade. £29 for the phone and £30 a month for unlimited mins, unlimited txts and 1gb data.

hopefully he calls me back soon to confirm!

edit: great! i hate orange, person my brother spoke to denied the offer that I was told so we didnt go for it!
[One (M7) General] radeonorama:
Well I have finally got my orange order in, apparently due for delivery on or after the 30th so im guessing after as the 30th is a sat.

Free handset

£26pm

Unlimited Minutes

Unlimited Texts

2GB Data

Quite pleased! Just a rubbish delivery date!
[One (M7) General] Super Chimp:
I wonder if many will change to buying the One in the UK because the GS4 over here as Snapdragon & not Octo core?
[One (M7) General] ChazyChaz:
where ?
[One (M7) General] radeonorama:
Sorry, i did mention further up in the thread but forgot to on this post (have since editied to include)

With Orange Direct
[One (M7) General] horsetastic:
How such an amazing deal? You call or in store?
[One (M7) General] radeonorama:
Long standing customer of 8 years with 4 contracts on one account. When im throwing over 100 at em per month, they tend to treat me ok.

They did initially offer the £36pm deal which is unlim mins and texts with 1gb of data and 30 quid for the phone but that was back at the start of march.

They wouldnt let me pre order, even tho i could through the site, giving various stupid excused and making things up. So i phoned them up today and gave them a tonne of stick and they waved the handset price and bumped up the data to 2gb. I just have to wait for the phone which is like a child on christmas eve, every night! hahaha
[One (M7) General] horsetastic:
Haha Yeh right. I'm waiting for mine from 3 but thinking of cancelling and leaving as they have messed me around a bit.
[One (M7) General] radeonorama:
I would willingly go with three until a friend came over my place on three and had no signal at all. I live down in Devon an don't even have fibre broadband so I recon ill get 4G in 2030 or something!
[One (M7) General] Nekromantik:
lucky!

I been with them over 15 years now and got 3 contracts with them and they refuse to do anything for me! As I am "not in my 2 month loyalty period" they cant offer me any deals until 2 months before contract end.

Might just buy sim free and get good deal on the S4 in May and then sell the S4. ha ha
[One (M7) General] robbieuk85:
Take it everyone has received their phones now as this thread has gone dry. Still waiting here!
[One (M7) General] radeonorama:
Nope, Orange Suck! Still nothing. I received text and and email today saying they have stock, even tho they told me they wouldnot have any until the 30th. With that I phoned them up and they denied all knowledge.

Same as when i got a text on the 15th saying it was now available for pre order, I called up and it wasnt. THey are just rubbish
[One (M7) General] Super Chimp:
Well it's not out SIM free yet.
[One (M7) General] brainimpact:
No one ordering from Carphone warehouse received anything, only Phones 4 u and 3 I've heard have sent out devices
[One (M7) General] Alsybub:
I receive mine from EE on Wednesday.

---------- Post added at 12:58 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:55 PM ----------

It's annoying that they give differing information. I ordered mine on the 13th over the phone. They said that they weren't supposed to but since it was so close they could do it. I received it on Wednesday.
[One (M7) General] radeonorama:
Sorry, just confirm that for me?! you received yours last wednesday?!
[One (M7) General] Nekromantik:
As they say UK roll out next week, hope they take into account bank holiday period and ship the phones to retailers 2 days early so they can be shipped out on the 27th.
[One (M7) General] riz157:
I think for htc to issue such concrete news would mean they have got everything in place to deliver next week for uk, this is good news as I'm looking o get black version too.

Has anyone had any updates from Orange on more of a detailed delivery time? Texts or emails from UKMail etc?

Cheers,
[One (M7) General] androidindian:
just saw @htc_uk , tweet this :

The new #HTCOne started rolling out on the 15th March and it will be available in all retailers on the 29th.
[One (M7) General] compact_bijou:
IF the phone comes into stock at EE/Orange/T-Mobile's national distribution centre this week

then the phones will need to be in the mail by Wednesday afternoon for Thursday delivery.

Otherwise? Possible Saturday delivery or no phones will ship until next Tuesday for Wednesday delivery.

Bit of a **** up scheduling the UK launch of such an important product for HTC over Easter weekend.
[One (M7) General] Nekromantik:
Exactly. HTC Uk should know its bank holiday weekend so they should try and get all stock into retailers by tomorrow latest. Otherwise just say that all stock should be delivered by 2nd.
[One (M7) General] radeonorama:
Well I have just called to pester Orange again and they but me on hold and called UKMail, The chap then came back to me and said UKMail are apparerently going to be delivering over the bank holiday weekend. :-/

Im not sure how true i think that is but it would be sweet if we receive over the weekend!
[One (M7) General] Kaichu:
HTC UK tweeted me saying April now.... This is ridiculous.
[One (M7) General] FUNKIT247:
I had confirmation from someone in T-Mobile on Friday that they have the phones. The issue is that they are doing there testing etc etc.
[One (M7) General] radeonorama:
For me, its not really about the phone. Its about how useless the networks/HTC are at giving realistic timescales on things.

Orange have just come up with every lie they can think of to just get customers off the phone whilst HTC have basically done the same.

I am more than happy with my current phone and funnily enough, im big enough to cope with waiting for the phone. Id just rather not have to listen to fake answers.

If someone doesnt know when its available then they should just say. Not come out with a fake answer
[One (M7) General] Nekromantik:
Agreed. This launch has been a mess.

I been a HTC fan since the Desire not bought any other brand handset but they need to sort themselves out. They should plan in advance, if they wanted UK stock to be rolled out by end of this month they should made plans to get stock out early. if they cant then they should have never given end of month time frame.
[One (M7) General] Kaichu:
Exactly, I'm just annoyed that the answer keeps changing every time I ask.
[One (M7) General] radeonorama:
Exactly,

Same here, Desire since the start. I used to be a samsung fanboy until i hit their appaling Samsung Jet and even worse Customer Service, then I grabbed the Desire and never looked back.

Not much of an Apple fan but I bet they wouldn't allow such issues as this! It happens when Apple says it does and nothing else!
[One (M7) General] Tarzan-:
HTC is not as big as Samsung, Nokia or even Sony. They are not used to manufacture on large scale. Luckily for them HTC ONE is a big big hit and almost everyone I show the images or the reviews wants the device. They don't believe me saying waiting for the device for over a month. The consumer response is just overwhelming

I know you can't justify these delays but this is just my opinion.
[One (M7) General] radeonorama:
I dont think anyone on here has any problems with delays. Its the useless answers people have been given that has been the issue. I have alwasy spoken to managers at Orange and have always been given random information.

A little bit of honestly is all I have wanted, even if the answer was, I dont know, i would prefer it.
[One (M7) General] compact_bijou:
Every phone launch is exactly the same. Every call centre is exactly the same.

It's been like that for many years and there's no point in people becoming deranged about it.

All it'll take is for one container of phones to go from the docks to the distribution centre and job done.
[One (M7) General] Riyal:
It's a phone on which we already paid for yet haven't recieved it yet(At least on mine with handtec).

Isn't it a bit frustrating? We're not talking about some < 100GBP here.
[One (M7) General] Nekromantik:
Even the HTC One official store has no stock currently or a date.
[One (M7) General] radeonorama:
I think it's going to arrive at my door on or after weds 3rd. Any sooner and ill be pleased.

[One (M7) General] Super Chimp:
Are they prioritising the stock for the networks over the SIM free supply?
[One (M7) General] llothar:
Yes they are. Networks sell most of the stock. Sim-free are usually bought by more educated users that will wait few more weeks. Average Joe that signs a contract for next 2 years will take the best thing they have at the moment.
[One (M7) General] compact_bijou:
Some Joes sign up to contracts only when, after an in-depth cost/benefit analysis, the TCO for the

device they chose is substantially less than upfront cost+ monthly access, data and call charges.

Some Joes are so adept at working the system that they can get additional benefits that

more educated Joes wouldn't even know where to begin.

So, you see, not all Joes are equal ;)

[One (M7) General] radeonorama:
May? You mean March I take it?

Yup, received mine Yesterday (thurs) ordered on 4th of March
[One (M7) General] LayzJay:
Yep..sorry march..

How did you manage to order on the 4th of march? Every time I tried ordering it, I got told they couldn't do it as it wasn't on their system yet.

But I could upgrade on line..so I did.

Which then got cancelled as I was told they would do me a better deal, once it came onto their system.
[One (M7) General] ChazyChaz:
fantastic phone , best i ever had , worth waiting guys :)
[One (M7) General] radeonorama:
Well, I say 4th of March, that was my "pre order" as they always referred to it. My order date was the 18th. They have just been jokers the entire way through.

Just get on the phone and say it’s not good enough.

My deal as of today stands at:

Free phone (was £69)

£70 account credit

Unlimited Minutes

Unlimited Texts

4GB of Data

25.85 PM

24 Month

This was after a tonne of calls and pestering and making sure I noted all of the lies and listed the many orange reps who just said whatever that thought i wanted to hear to get me off the phone.

The tariff I am finally on is the £41 pm works with 1GB extra Per month, 15% off and a 10 loyalty discount.

I will add, in all of the issues I have had with some of the people at Orange and their Staff, some of the people have been absolutely amazing and have stopped at nothing to make sure things have gone ok for me. 3 People in Particular but I don’t think it’s fair to list their names on here.
