Re: HTC One Launch (Delayed)

Oh dear this thread is depressing. I don't really mind personally if I get mine a bit later than expected I think from the German guys reviews its worth the wait. Plus I went direct through a carrier and was told upto 28 days so can't complian I guess

Found this on android.net site:

Android Authority reported last week, via Taiwanese news site FocusTaiwan, that HTC was facing issues in bringing the One to market, due to (apparently) major problems in the manufacturing process of components in the phone’s ‘Ultrapixel’ camera.

For those that like to admire the devil in the detail, here’s the lowdown:

An investment firm familiar with HTC’s supply line received information that the yield (usable portion of total manufactured parts) on two critical components in the Ultrapixel sensor was under 30%. While such a level might not be unheard of for a cutting-edge, just-announced microprocessor (it would still be pretty low), it’s apparently far lower than expected for this camera unit.
[One (M7) General] radiotrib:
Component yields in the silicon wafer business can often be fairly low, but this is exceptionally low, and very unusual for a relatively coarse mask to have drop-out issues on this scale. Almost makes you wonder if some competitor or other might have some sort of influence on that particular component manufacturer.
[One (M7) General] TimsterRS4:
I'd still really like to know who WILL be getting their handsets on Friday.

Surely there must have been plenty of units already manufactured and en-route to the retailers ?

HTC made such a big (and expensive) dance about the phones' release.

Someone's head must surely roll in the HTC supply chain or marketing Depts, no ?
[One (M7) General] Palla71:
Some suggested also that these delays are due to time-consuming process to manufacture the aluminium body.
[One (M7) General] TimsterRS4:
What, did they just start manufacturing them today and discover it would take too long to retail by Friday ?

(where have all the manufactured One's gone ?)
[One (M7) General] CreepyDroid:
US ? Didn't they say that the US market is a priority ?
[One (M7) General] StueyBUK:
Just noticed on the 3 site that the black is now 30th APRIL (six weeks away). Have not had any communication via email about this.

I have however, just received this months bill with the added £69 upfornt charge for the One plus £4.99 postage.

[One (M7) General] StueyBUK:
Just had a phone call from my Mrs who is currently in the 3 shop. They have silver in stock and can be sent out today so I have swapped the colour of my order.
[One (M7) General] jonstatt:
A lot of people go away for Easter, so people will either have to cancel or lose a big part of the 7 days distance selling regulation period for evaluation. What a stupid date to move it to. If they had said 25th, that would make a lot more sense.

Right now, still Three and P4U showing 15th for Silver only.
[One (M7) General] Wh1techapel:
I hope so mate, would be nice to see at least someone on the UK to get one! :good:
[One (M7) General] mwatson:
I've just spoken to Three. They said if you pre ordered you'll get it this Friday. If not you'll have to wait until the end of the month. End of the month too for orders on PAYG.

I'm due an upgrade with Three tomorrow, wonder if I ordered through the shop tomorrow they would send to me for Friday. Doubtful?
[One (M7) General] StueyBUK:
I did have mine pre-ordered but have changed to silver from black today and they are saying Friday delivery so you may get away with it.

[One (M7) General] Sabrezx:
Just spoken to Vodafone UK sales and he told me it was out of stock until I mentioned to him that it was pre-order upgrade and things changed. He said sales stock is separate from upgrade stock and that pre-ordered upgrades took priority, he was aware of the shortages but that my Black handset would be with me as planned on Friday. We'll see.
[One (M7) General] Tarzan-:
So 3 DID get their stock on the 13th. Now that is interesting.

Also I'm one of those who ordered through Handtec and also received that delay email. The email made me wonder if that was a generic email and sent to everyone but was only meant for the Black colour order ? White may not be delayed, yeh wishful thinking but who knows. Any comments ?
[One (M7) General] weaselEST:
What is your order status? Mine is "on hold". Preordered black.
[One (M7) General] surfer1000:
Yeah and if that's the case, you would think P4U would have the stock in now, ready 2 ship tomorrow, or even today! lol
[One (M7) General] Riyal:
Mine is "Processing" and I pre ordered black also. But it's the one bundled with urbeats.
[One (M7) General] Tarzan-:
Call me nuts but I have pre-ordered 4 handsets from Handtec (one Black as well) and every order status is showing "Processing".

Ordered from T-mobile in germany and today the postman rang our bell.

I was so excited just to see that they have sent me a HTC ONE S instead of the new One.

Called them and the guy told me it's delayed until april. Disappointing...might take the Z because I need a new phone as soon as possible..my HTC Sensation is slowly dying. Well done T-Mobile/HTC! -.-
[One (M7) General] weaselEST:
Handtec told me that all retailers have been delayed.
[One (M7) General] thegregulator:
I'm sure some retailers will be able to ship on the 15th. Likely not many, but some will be going out. They told you all retailers were delayed because they don't want you to cancel your order with them and then order through one of their competitors.
[One (M7) General] l.m.prowse:
The guy I'm taking to at Phones 4 U has just told me they have the stock in their warehouse ready to ship out tomorrow, only silver though, and told me that if I ordered now it'd be guaranteed to be with me by Friday (well my parents because i'm at uni)

Re: HTC One Launch (Delayed)

Just been to the Three store. If you order today you get your handset friday. Only till end of today though. three stores had an email this morning. You'll have to upgrade or take a new contract though! Orders today get priority.

Good luck all.

For the record I have orders on at handtec, three and phones4u !
[One (M7) General] MuhKoInc:
Well, both Three and P4U might be sending stuff out friday, too bad they don't accept sim-free international orders :c

So I have to wait until Handtec gets them in, which I reckon will be the same time as just about every other retailer in the UK that sell sim-free international editions (with LTE enabled, apparently)

I'm still just hoping they're trolling, and that they have (at least the silver) in stock tomorrow :D

Hi

For all of you that ordered with p4u

i have just been on the phone now with someone from their dispatch center and they told me THEY ARE WAITING FOR STOCK TO BE DELIVERED ON 15TH and shipping to clients once they receive it

I asked AM i going to receive the silver one this friday as on the website to which she replied: sorry thats not going to be possible, at earliest you will receive your handset end of next week ( and i preorder it in Feb )

I said, ''but on your website is says 15th...'' she added: im sorry for the confusions but that is the date the stock is expected to be delivered in our warehouses, at the moment HTC is yet to ship any handsets

So PLEASE stop saying that p4u are delivering fri because they are not - no one is .... PERIOD

and RIP HTC

[One (M7) General] dr9722:
It would seem we can't trust anything Phones4U says because I just phoned them up and spoke to a manager. She told me that they have the Silver One only currently in stock and will be shipping tomorrow for delivery Friday.

Clearly no one at Phones4U know what the hell is going on. We are all just going to have to wait until Friday and see what happens, no point in speculating.

You: Good thanks Gary.

You: You?

Garry: ‪I'm excellent cheers, thanks for asking :)‬‬

Garry: ‪How can I help you today?‬‬

You: I'm sure you're getting a lot of questions about the ETA of the new HTC One... but I'd really like to know if Phones4u are definitely definitely definitely getting it this week ?

Garry: ‪The Black version has been delayed due to an HTC stocking issue, but the silver is in stock and we're aiming for a delivery date on the 15th :)‬‬

Garry: ‪Are you looking at a new contract?‬‬

You: No, just the handset.

Garry: ‪ok we do have that sim free in silver and it would be dispatched as usual making you one of the first in the country to get your hands on it. Does that sound good yeah?‬‬

You: So when you say "in stock"... Phones4u "physically have" the handsets, even though they seem to be delayed everywhere else ?

Garry: ‪Its just the black handsets that we have delayed, not the silver ones.‬‬

You: Yes, so I understand. But do you actually have "in stock ready for despatch" the silver ones ?

You: Guaranteed?

Garry: ‪We received an email this morning saying the only ones we have delayed are the black handsets, we have no issues at all with the Silver HTC One handset :)‬‬

You: But do you actually have "in stock ready for despatch" the silver ones ?

You: As you can see Gary, I'm being very specific with my questions ;)

You: I really dont want to here tomorrow or Friday that my order "is delayed"

You: hear

Garry: ‪I understand that :) We do have the HTC One in Silver ready to dispatch, and if you order today it should be with you by Friday :)‬‬

You: I can quote you on that "Garry" ?

Garry: ‪Yes you can, and my name is Garry :)‬‬

You: Cool. My name's really Tim too :)

[One (M7) General] StueyBUK:
Just to recap.

11am this morning the 3 shop told my wife that I could have a Silver One delivered on the 15th which I duly ordered.

12:30pm I get a phone call from 3 saying they were unsure of delivery date and they would call me Friday to confirm but should be 16th-18th.

14:50pm Got a call from the same woman at 3 saying I will receive delivery on the 15th.

[One (M7) General] firedup:
Yes, agreed about the black. But I reckon they knew this a long time ago - not just yesterday. The SG3 had delays with the blue as well remember. iPhones are only ever available to pre-order - usually then out of stock for a few weeks. It helps drum up demand.
