Re: HTC One early launch???

Yeah in relation to phones4u. Its still Friday. The advisor made a point though of wording it 'if you ordered online its Friday' which suggests stores got to wait maybe
[One (M7) General] jmonfu:
I also ordered from Handtec and waiting anxiously for the device. I also noticed that the official HTC website have their device out of stock. Hopefully its just new devices not the pre-ordered ones.
[One (M7) General] Palla71:
No.

If you order it on HTC websites, you're redirected on Expansys infrastructure. (You can see it in the following order process pages, just before payment)

HTC One Double Flip Case
[One (M7) General] jonstatt:
That's a 3rd party seller, nto Amazon directly. Amazon directly say 1-2 months for the flip version. But the hard shell one they have in-stock themselves.
[One (M7) General] Phil750123:
yer think your right. Though if they are telling new customers they can pre order and still get for friday would suggust they have some spare?

Hoping it coming to stores on the 16th :)
[One (M7) General] Ikijää:
I heard the One is exclusive to Elisa/Saunalahti for a while, could be why the retailers get it late. Atleast i hope so and i will get mine in time...:rolleyes:
[One (M7) General] RCJ89:
Phones 4 u have stated if there is a delay with the HTC One they will send a email to customers. So I guess as long as you don't get a delay email things should be ok.
[One (M7) General] l.m.prowse:
Just called expansys UK and they said they are still receiving their stock tomorrow, and that if they receive it around 12pm they will be shipped out the same day. :D
[One (M7) General] KrishB26:
'Thank you for contacting HTC regarding your HTC One

My name is Alexandru and I am a Technical Support Agent for the HTC Written Team.

If you have pre-ordered The new HTC One it will be delivered to you on the date that was specified.

At the moment we don't have any information about any delays in the launch date so it should be on the 15th. If any change will be made on the launch date it will be present on our official website.'
[One (M7) General] Palla71:
If you check your order here http://www.expansys.com/order-tracking/ what does it say in the "Status"?

P.S.: SIlver or Black?
[One (M7) General] darrenjdoc:
Strange, I just called them and they said next Monday.
[One (M7) General] Phil750123:
wait and see aye lets hope it be soon :)
[One (M7) General] craftycarper1:
Gonna be a long week!:cool:
[One (M7) General] l.m.prowse:
It says awaiting stock :)

and i ordered the black, I have a thing for black gadgets :D
[One (M7) General] maxbe:
Hi,

I contacted handtec and here is their reply:

(You should know that i haven't pre-ordered it yet ,waiting for paypal to hurry)

Thank you for your email. We are currently awaiting an update from HTC however we are expecting this device to be in stock on 14/03/13, we would not advise that this device would be with you this week even if it does arrive on the 14th. We are currently expecting more than enough devices to fill demand, if you require any further information please contact us. Regards. C While.
[One (M7) General] onlinejobwork:
you are the man now I don't need to worry about much
[One (M7) General] l.m.prowse:
Did you pay for express delivery?
[One (M7) General] brainimpact:
so far theres MobilePhonesDirect, o2 and Carphone warehouse all delaying until 29th still reckon more will follow except for Phones4u
[One (M7) General] johnbrighton:
T-Mobile UK

Oh Dear......doesn't sound very promising, but they just tweeted me when I asked them to be more specific and said...

'Allow 28 days is all we have at the moment. Sorry.'

Ohhhhh!:eek:
[One (M7) General] Palla71:
"Awaiting stock" is the usual message. :rolleyes:

It would have been better if you saw "In stock at our supplier - xx days".

I saw the above message for a Silver version (on Expansys, of course).

http://www.mobiletechdeal.com/htc-one-facciamo-chiarezza-sulla-data-duscita/

http://www.mobiletechdeal.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/03/20130311_152957.jpg

So, it could be true something I read somewhere: that they are delivering Silver ones before the Black... :(
[One (M7) General] johnbrighton:
I only had the choice of Black from T-Mobile....I ordered on the 1st March.
[One (M7) General] Bebida:
Re: HTC One early launch???

They said only black to me I said nah silver please so they ordered me a silver one.
[One (M7) General] johnbrighton:
Interesting....I wonder why they did that? It's like they wanted us to order black - which i'm happy with.....though I was torn!
[One (M7) General] Bebida:

Re: HTC One early launch???

[One (M7) General] jadaress1:
Re: HTC One early launch???

Why are they having a laugh? Mines pre-ordered from them also.
[One (M7) General] l.m.prowse:
Just double checked mine, it still says Awaiting stock :(

---------- Post added at 12:16 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:09 AM ----------

I just google translated that, it says "in stock at our supplier - 9 days"

And we're all assuming the UK is one of the main target markets, Italy would be from a different warehouse, there is still hope for us in the UK, seeing as how mine still says "awaiting stock", saying that, could be their way of saying its delayed. (in Italy)
[One (M7) General] Palla71:
Expansys has only one European warehouse, in France.
[One (M7) General] jonstatt:
The UK stock is a separated stock though to account for the 3-pin British plug. So the stock allocation for the EU version will be different to the UK one.
[One (M7) General] riz157:
Just spoke to expansys they are facing delays in getting one. Date is now pushed back to the 19th March at the earliest.
[One (M7) General] jonstatt:
WE just don't really have proper factual information about what is going on. Even if Expansys are distributors, it does not mean they will have free stock themselves as a retailer.
[One (M7) General] surfer1000:
Thread might have to be renamed....HTC One late launch :(
[One (M7) General] Wh1techapel:
HTC told me on Twitter that stock has been allocated, so people who have already ordered through them and have it confirmed SHOULD get the phone on Friday.
[One (M7) General] Tarzan-:
I second that as I also spoke to them just yesterday.
[One (M7) General] yanouch:
I've just called Expansys FRANCE (yesterday) and they told me they should receive the silver 32Go on 22th March, not before :crying:
[One (M7) General] salada2k:
Got an email from MobiCity AU, they've pushed back from the 15th to the 25th :(
[One (M7) General] :
Even though Handtec told me this morning no delays with them, I got a feeling that today or tomorrow I'll be getting the same bad news as you guys. :(

Or maybe not. :o
[One (M7) General] Hcore:
Lucky guys! I have to wait until the end of april in Sweden :(
[One (M7) General] Phil750123:
ive just changed the title to reflect fact there is no early launch (except for you lucky o2 germans!! :eek:)

Hopefully we will see some users get the device on the 15th! :fingers-crossed:
[One (M7) General] Shasarak:
Well, Phones 4 u still say "order today for delivery on 15/03"; so I am cautiously optimistic my pre-order will arrive on schedule. If it does I shall try very hard not to show off about it, but may not succeed. ;)

[One (M7) General] :
No longer pre-order on Amazon again, not sure if that means stock allocated or change of date being done. Time will tell.
[One (M7) General] paorpas:
amazon.co.uk

estimated shipping: 14 march

to see if we are lucky
[One (M7) General] jonstatt:
This time its both the silver and black ones that have disappeared. On Monday it was just the silver one that disappeared for a while.

yeah just looked, what a sickener
[One (M7) General] arknailed7754:
Re: HTC One Launch ( On time and Delayed)

If phones4u do post a delay tomorrow. They will be giving me something extra. Lol bit late in the day to suddenly find out a delay in shipments
[One (M7) General] :
Yep, today should be the final day at the very least. HTC would know fully about whos getting what by now.
[One (M7) General] simpelsense:
I orderd mine @o2-germany and in my ordering mail it says that the device will be deliverd 7.3..

Quote: "Der voraussichtliche Liefertermin für ihr HTC One, silber ist der 07.03.2013."

Translate: "The expected deliveryday for the HTC One will be the 07.03.2013."

A hard week for me.
[One (M7) General] shox22:
I´d really like to order it, too. But branding is a no go for me. Friend of mine has an o2 one X... he was waiting like 1-1.5month longer for updates then me with an unbranded one.
[One (M7) General] onlinejobwork:
Re: HTC One early launch???

I pre order over phone from p4u uk like to know when can I expect
[One (M7) General] simpelsense:
Damn, you are right. didn't think of that when i ordered it. You gave me a litte hearthattack, so i started a support chat and they told me

it is branding free. That matches my experience with my Desire Z that was also branding free

I hope that helps.
[One (M7) General] manook:
Branding free and Sim free / unbranded will be different. My SGS3 from ThreeUK was completely brand free and not locked to a network but the firmware still relied on Three to allow it to update.

I ended up unlocking bootloader etc.. and putting the generic firmware on. With Samsung it was easier to go back to stock and reset the flash counter for warranty but I don't think that's possible with HTC.
[One (M7) General] robinwu007:
That's lucky of you. I don't want to order it at o2. Because I don't need the head-sets.:p
[One (M7) General] simpelsense:
AW: HTC One early launch???

I don't need the headset either. EBay is waiting for this one.
[One (M7) General] vizzy:
Re: HTC One early launch???

Surely if your rooted and installing custom roms etc that doesn't matter ?
[One (M7) General] simpelsense:
yes, in the small case an update is limited to certain cid's. it was a matter with the latest update for the htc one x. not everybody could install the latest hboot because of that.

hope i didn't mix things up and that was the issue.
[One (M7) General] vizzy:
Re: HTC One early launch???

Ahh okay. Sorry this is the first phone I'm going to buy on contract so I just wondered.
[One (M7) General] Phil750123:
Just an update, spoke to the store today and they still dont have a definate final date (which would go around with rumors its been pushed back, and ive read from htc employee that they dont have the final software version pushed out yet but is being done very soon)

But they did say they have all the promo gear in and posters etc.. so they are expecting it very soon.
[One (M7) General] shino82:
AW: HTC One early launch???

I'm working at o2 Germany and we are the first Mobile phone company in Europe to deliver the phone to our customers. Pre-order customers as me get the phone at march 7th, the normal sale starts from the 8th

[One (M7) General] XL2001:
Seems like official launch date is March 15th. Dang probably going to hit Canada late March. :( Spoke with Rogers rep and he had no clue. Said it could be between 3-6 weeks.

http://www.techradar.com/news/phone...e-date-and-price-where-can-you-get-it-1129182
[One (M7) General] Narom88:
Hasn't the release date always been the 15th? The P4u website has always said the 15th.

Luckily i'm a postman though so i should, in theory, be one of the first people to actually have their device in my hands since i'll get the special delivery while i'm at work! :D
[One (M7) General] riz157:
if it comes early that's ok and if it doesnt thats ok too. Gives everyone a chance to see S4 before making up mind, btw I'm looking to get HTC One as I presume it will be plastic again for S4. Can't be paying 500 for plastic again refuse to do that.
[One (M7) General] onlinejobwork:
But its guarantee that Samsung S4 will have everything better than HTC except Design, Camera and Sound (Three Main Thing)

but the biggest question is would anyone buy S4 if it got 4.9 or 5" size, little better screen contract, color or viewing angle, slightly better numbers on all benchmark, 13 mp but same boring camera technology, and other software based blah blah blah etc,

I will definitely NOT specially for Plastic dosant matter how beautiful it look

I wil definitely NOT for standard 13 mp camera

I wil definitely NOT for just little extra benchmark score which have no real word advantage/feel

I wil definitely NOT for standard speaker and headphone sound

I wil definitely NOT for 5" screen as 4.7" to 4.8" is most easy to handle

I wil definitely NOT even with removable battery coz I never need to remove or replace battery in any of my existing phone

I wil definitely NOT even it come with memory card slot coz if 32 GB/64 is more than enough, if anyone need more space wait until 2015 samsung releasing phone with 250 GB SSD would be best suit

Higher CPU and Graphics is good features but not advantage, for example Nokia Lumia 820 is just duel core 1.5 and 1 GB ram but their interface or apps never lagging of slow, they have some flaws but its different stories

Would you still thinking samsung will give more than this, like 60 FPS 1080 p recording, Solar charing panel backside, Camera tech combined (HTC one, Iphone 5, Lumia 920 altogether)?

BTW I am S3 owner and ONE is going to be my 1st HTC phone, and I have no regret choosing S3 and now ONE

:good::)
[One (M7) General] cdd543:
Expansys USA said Mar 7-14 was their estimate for the international version. I'm going to try to hold out for the US LTE one.
[One (M7) General] riz157:
Not to fussed about camera and viewing angles as there won't be much of a difference.Screen will come to personal preference, I prefer HTC.

Sound in my experience in recent times HTC is better, sammy always sounds bit tinny. Colours and contrast on HTC One looks good, 1080p screen.

Still getting One.
[One (M7) General] onlinejobwork:
Re: HTC One early launch???

I talked to p4u and they said 15th but I doubt some of getting 2-3 days early
[One (M7) General] MuhKoInc:
Gah..!

I'm sitting in Denmark and I pre-ordered through HTC's own co.uk site, hoping they'll ship it here once it launches in the UK.

Amazon expects the device out the 15th (and therefore be at my door the 18th). But I'd really love it if the date gets pushed earlier so that I'll get it soon! Really hyped for this particular device (more so than any other device I've seen, really).

I just genuinely hope that they'll ship it here since it's marked for launch in mid-****ing-April here :(
[One (M7) General] yvibes:
Re: HTC One Launch ( On time and Delayed)

By looking around different threads is clear that most people have ordered their one and are waiting for deliveries. Anyone know what the situation will be regarding going into a shop eg phones4u this Friday and picking up the phone? I am due for an upgrade, just waiting for the one to arrive... If I walk into p4u on Friday, will I be able to upgrade my contract to get the one?
[One (M7) General] arknailed7754:
Re: HTC One Launch ( On time and Delayed)

Id say 70-30 no. I think they r dealing with online first..I think
[One (M7) General] Snapperstan:
I spoke to my local branch of P4U and they said in store on Monday. Tempted to wait till then...
[One (M7) General] :
Amazon UK is now saying 29th of March...
[One (M7) General] jonstatt:
Where is it saying that? It is still disappeared for me in browsing, and the order I made still says 15th (they normally change overnight I think).
[One (M7) General] scotcruz:
must be new orders only..

mine says it will be dispatched on 14 March and expected by 20th the Latest. Will be raging if it was delayed :mad:

UPDATE - the 29th March is because its sold by a third party for £674.99 not Amazon. I got mine from Amazon for £519, perhaps they have stop taking pre-orders
[One (M7) General] :
http://www.amazon.co.uk/s/ref=nb_sb_noss_1?url=search-alias=aps&field-keywords=htc+one

Says the white is 15th again but was 29th a few mintues ago, but the black is 29th.
[One (M7) General] Palla71:
That's NOT the official Amazon seller.
[One (M7) General] :
Amazon dont put down release dates for 3rd party sellers on there main search feed, only there own. White says 29th again now, I'm thinking there first batch is sold out.
[One (M7) General] Riyal:
Yes that's true. That's the essence of pre-orders. You get it first before walk in customers do. Pre orders are more like reservations.
[One (M7) General] surfer1000:
Well Phones4u show the phone under "just arrived" now, not "coming soon"
[One (M7) General] jonstatt:
I am not sure that is true when their own listing has been removed completely. If the item is ONLY a 3rd party seller, then it shows the date for that. If you look at the seller entry with that stupid pricing it says

This item will be released on 29 Mar 2013. Pre-order now! Dispatched from United Kingdom. Expedited delivery available.

I think we can't tell anything until Amazon re-instate their own entry. And even after doing so if it does say 29th, we won't know if it affects us until tomorrow probably when the batch run takes place to update the existing orders.
[One (M7) General] scotcruz:
So hopefully that's good news then for the folk who have pre-ordered already..
[One (M7) General] :
Id say orders made before today will be honoured and have them by Friday. I ordered from Handtec and all is good so far... (touch wood)
[One (M7) General] Palla71:
They do.

If you check that 3rd party reseller, you'll see the 29th below "Seller information" for both Silver and Black ones.

They're showing those dates on the main search feed (and not the one written by seller itself below "Condition").
[One (M7) General] scotcruz:
fingers crossed.. besides who would want to buy it for £674.99 + £11 delivery when P4U are doing it for £489.99
[One (M7) General] :
Pretty sure some desperate clown would, and he's on these boards too most prob haha!
[One (M7) General] scotcruz:
lol.. the black one is still available by Amazon for £519 though so get yours quickly peeps :D
[One (M7) General] Palla71:
A second ago it wasn't there... :eek:
[One (M7) General] jonstatt:
No. Amazon really HAVE changed the date to the 29th now for their own directly sold stock. So now its the waiting game to see if existing orders are safe or not. I don't think Amazon usually put pre-order after something is released. So I think it means their whole lot is delayed.
[One (M7) General] Wh1techapel:
Re: HTC One Launch ( On time and Delayed)

Bracing myself for an Amazon.co.uk email.

[One (M7) General] Snapperstan:
@buymobiles.net have just been tweetiung replies re delivery
[One (M7) General] jonstatt:
Just got this from Amazon chat

Unfortunately the manufacturer has postponed the release date of the item. In this case the everybody's order will be delayed. I can assure you that the item will be delivered on March 29, 2013.
[One (M7) General] scotcruz:
oh no ! :crying:
[One (M7) General] :
Handtec latest on Twitter and told me on the phone this morning I will get my phone on Friday. Feel sorry for you guys.

@fabregas61 @ChuckFinlay Just waiting on HTC to confirm this, please note we will be one of the few company's to sell HTC One SIM Free first
[One (M7) General] weaselEST:
Just placed my order at Handtec. Let's see how that goes..
[One (M7) General] horsetastic:
Yep I can confirm the twitter response from buymobilephones.net was to me and they've said they're expecting the 18th....So we'll see....
[One (M7) General] Phil750123:
The question is why isnt HTC telling its loyal customers , who have already spent money on pre ordering (well those who have

had money taken out) why they are delaying some (mabye all) shipments!

I would expect them to release some kind of press release saying they having trouble with whatever...
[One (M7) General] arknailed7754:
Re: HTC One Launch ( On time and Delayed)

I doubt it. Must be certain retailers. I mean its not device delays if other countries have them already etc
[One (M7) General] horsetastic:
Just had a chat with HTC Online tech support who said this....But not sure how reliable this is of course!

They're keeping the delays very quiet on their website though which I don't think is very good of them. Should be more open about these things. I think it only looks bad when they try to seemingly hide hiccups.

(See attachment!)
[One (M7) General] :
So far non delayed are 3 UK, Clove, Handtec, Phones4U and EE. All the others are now quoting different dates. Either they haven't been told yet or they have all the shipment thats available in the UK.
[One (M7) General] scotcruz:
I might cancel my order and use Handtec but cant see their delivery date?

please advise
[One (M7) General] weaselEST:
Because they haven't announced an official date yet.
[One (M7) General] horsetastic:
In my honest opinion I recon they'll pretty much all be delayed.....Whether the companies say it or not I think a lot of people will be seeing their estimated delivery date come and go.....But I suppose we'll just have to see what happens come Friday!
[One (M7) General] weaselEST:
I advise you not to. Handtec is said to be on of the first to receive it. So no point in cancelling.
[One (M7) General] arknailed7754:
Re: HTC One Launch ( On time and Delayed)

I'd contact phones4u but I'm out live chat on mobiles annoying lol
[One (M7) General] jonstatt:
You really think Handtec would get preference over Carphone Warehouse or Amazon? This is why I am suspecting everyone is delayed with the possible exception of Phones4U because they are big enough to pull an exclusive out of all of this mess.
[One (M7) General] Wh1techapel:
Prepare yourself for disappointment.
[One (M7) General] Snapperstan:
this was the reply i got on p4u live chat about half an hour ago...doesn't make it any clearer :)
[One (M7) General] :
Handtec could eay have a partnership with HTC so it wouldn't be too hard to believe if they do have it before Amazon and CW. Plus Phones4U big rivals are CW and Amazon in sales so could be Phones4U playing dirty cause they have a partnership with HTC.
[One (M7) General] onlinejobwork:
All you mention all above retailer I agree except 'Three' coz last week I seen HTC One big poster on their Baker street store and the next day they removed it which surprise me to think they might have some kind of problem in stock and I haven't seen any HTC One poster in any of the CarphoneWarehouse store
[One (M7) General] Wh1techapel:
Hi, I have read the Amazon.co.uk has delayed the HTC One until the 29th. Is that for new orders or also for pre-orders like mine??

My account still says expected on the 15th March?

Akash:Hello, My name is Akash. I'll be glad to help you.

Me:okay.

Akash:Thank you for staying connected.

In this situation, I will investigate with our internal team and will get back to you within 2-3 business days with an update.

Me:I would prefer to find out now if possible, I need a phone for the weekend so if this is delayed then it leaves me in a bad situation.

Akash:As per your request, I have forwarded your concerns to our internal team and they will get back to you at the earliest.

Rest assured that we take complete responsibility of your order.

Apart from this, Is there anything else I can help you with today?

Me:Yesterday I was told my phone will be with me on friday, is that now not the case? (Officially)??

Akash:Please understand that this needs to be looked into by our internal team and they will get back to you with an update at the earliest.

Me:okay. thanks

Akash:You're Welcome.
[One (M7) General] weaselEST:
No. I'm just quoting somebody. A few days won't make a difference to me.
