They certainly already are! Pay for the privilege of upgrading early and the handset I want isn't available yet on the contract.

Could be waiting weeks. Need to stop looking at reviews for it and getting needy. Tis only a phone at the end of the day of course.

So I tell myself every day.
[One (M7) General] tokyohot777:
I will go check local carphone warehouse and Phone 4u
[One (M7) General] jutley:
Who wants to see tomtom in action on the one?
[One (M7) General] compact_bijou:
If it's the hobbled version the released last year it's not worth it.

TomTom used to be the best but they have lost the plot.
[One (M7) General] Kastenbrust:
Just to let you guys know, I ordered mine from Phones4U yesterday and it arrived today about 10am. Very impressed with their service, although rather surprised they use Royal Mail as their courier (the HTC One came First Class Signed For in normal post lol!)

This phone is a beast, it's literally mind blowing, and those speakers, oh. my. god!

:D
[One (M7) General] m00moo:
Same, I am suprised at P4U as I have only used them once ever until recently. They use Royal Mail which is good, the largest postal service and reliable overall. Much prefer RM over Yodel. Yodel leave stuff outside my house in the pouring rain and forge my signature time and time again. Only other courier worthy is DPD as they have a excellent tracking and sms system which is often accurate to the hour. Apart from that RMSD rarely fails for me :good:
[One (M7) General] atif21:
Hi,

Did you order it sim free? I've just rang a store and they said that they have sold out today but are expecting 20 more sim free units tomorrow and are selling them for £449 each.
[One (M7) General] jmbillings:
What time? I ordered late afternoon, around 4.15. Got order confirmation but no dispatch email. I remember with my nexus that didn't come until after the phone! Did you get the shipping email?
[One (M7) General] Nekromantik:
Really?

I just rang 3 local stores and they all said only reserved for contract customers are in stock. None sim free until all pre order for contracts are done.
[One (M7) General] jmbillings:
Oh, just had dispatch email :)

Hopefully Royal Mail can be arsed to deliver tomorrow... but it does say next working day, so more likely Monday I guess.
[One (M7) General] Kastenbrust:
Yes I ordered it sim free from the Phones4U website (I'm with GiffGaff so I have to get sim free). I'm not sure why you would order it from a store lol. They said the central warehouse which handles all the website orders has plenty of stock (thousands).

As above, I didn't phone any individual stores, I just saw it on the Phones4U website last night and it says "In Stock" (it still says in stock), and so I phoned customer service to confirm, and bought it there and then (about 7:30pm). it arrived this morning (10 am).
[One (M7) General] bobbyball:
Can you confirm what colour you ordered
[One (M7) General] Kastenbrust:
Yeah, my dispatch email went to my spam folder in my Gmail for some reason, which meant when Royal Mail delivered the phone this morning it was a shock considering I only purchased it last night! I didn't even think it was the HTC One phone because it comes in a tiny tiny tiny box. I wasn't expecting it so soon at all.

For your information, it came Royal Mail Special Delivery, which is normal First Class Royal Mail but your postman makes you sign for it, so if you have a normal Saturday delivery, then you HTC One will arrive tomorrow definitely in your normal post. Expect a knock on the door when your postman does his normal rounds.

I've just been having fun unlocking the bootloader and rooting it so I can install fun stuff. Most of the guides and software are wrong, with missing instructions or software that no longer works (even stuff made 3 days ago). It took me quite a while to work out how to do it (and I'm a software dev).

---------- Post added at 02:35 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:28 PM ----------

Silver.

This one: phones4u.co.uk/shop/shop_justphones_details.asp?ItemKey=663761&intcid=sim-free-dotw#sthash.0aK1TKCD.dpbs

If you were to purchase it now, it would arrive tomorrow morning in your normal post. I'm not sure when their cut off is, you'd have to ask them.
[One (M7) General] jmbillings:
Nice- might have to not go out for breakfast tomorrow then!

I was wondering whether to unlock it right away- last I heard you can do it but there's a bug where it loses some system apps so then future OTA's will fail as the sigs are off?
[One (M7) General] riz157:
Was it sim free or contract?

I had to cancel my sim free order and re order lost out on the headset and case. I've also been pushed down join the pecking order. Not sure if i will get it this Friday.

---------- Post added at 11:13 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:10 AM ----------

Yes the shade as well being a finger print magnet, finger prints more obvious on the black then the silver. However I would still recommend black.
[One (M7) General] craftycarper1:
Mine is on contract, ordered on 19th Feb, just said they can change it to Silver without any change to original pre order, and to confirm it he said it again at the end of the call (as they are recorded), so it was on record that he made the amendment to my order and would still receive headphones, case and wireless speaker.

He did seem sure that Friday was the date for Silver, even new orders, i think the way it is looking, HTC have concentrated on building loads of the Silver version, hoping that everybody would want it, and they have been caught out by not producing enough Black versions.
[One (M7) General] Palla71:
I like the Black most, but if I'm able to get a Silver sooner, I'll get this one.
[One (M7) General] riz157:
That makes sense. I suppose mine is sim free so don't get preference as less money to be made then contract phones.

Ow well never mind back to the real world.

[One (M7) General] The Perfectionist:
I BELIEVE!!!!!!
[One (M7) General] Wh1techapel:
I'm convinced P4U would know by now of stock delays, 100% convinced. I'm not saying we'll get our phones on Friday as I'd be surprised if we're not made aware over the next few days of the delay, but if they do delay it last minute it's a dirty trick so people like myself cancel pre-orders elsewhere and spend money with P4U, they took my money pretty much immediately.

Fingers crossed though.
[One (M7) General] scotcruz:
guys, I think P4U are going to change the delivery date last minute.. why would they charge the card immediately? Think they are trying to grab orders from folk who have cancelled and just get the feeling that the bad news will follow tomorrow.. I mean how could they launch it on Friday and no other retailer can?

Fishy :)
[One (M7) General] :
They have a deal with HTC.
[One (M7) General] craftycarper1:
They must know by now, if they are stating delivery on 15/03 they must have the stock in their warehouse today surely?.....Packages will have to be shipped tomorrow for Friday delivery.
[One (M7) General] :
I just had a big chat with one of the managers higher up and I just placed a order on the Sim Free version.

No delays with them other than the Black version. Anyone ordering up to today will get the phone on Friday but Silver only. There are no delays with their stock and expecting the shipment in to there warehouse today.

Take it for what you will.. bet i'll be cancelling Friday. :)
[One (M7) General] scotcruz:
I know but as Whitechapel said earlier, it could be their dirty trick to get all orders.. I suppose we will find out tomorrow..

I still think if the date is w/c 25 March then how could they sell a week earlier

its wait and see :D
[One (M7) General] Palla71:
Just chatted with them: Silver is avaliable and on-time also for those who order it today... (but I'm still doubtful about it)
[One (M7) General] TimsterRS4:
I've just had a lengthy "online" chat too. Was assured several times that the Silver One was definitely in stock and available for a 15th delivery.

(I could have placed the original order with phones4u weeks ago, and got the free gifts and cheaper prices. I just didn't like their pushy sales attitude and them sitting on my pre-payment for potentially weeks).

Oh well.. lets see what Friday brings.....
[One (M7) General] scotcruz:
me too and I couldn't trust the person on the chat. He sounded confident as if they were briefed out to say it will be delivered on 15th.. lol
[One (M7) General] Roberts56:
Just rang up for an update and they stated the black has been delayed but I can transfer it to a Silver one and I will 100% get it before Saturday.

They also transfered the deal and will transfer £98 into my account in 42 days.

Overall I am still happy....but as I havent seen either in the flesh I am sure I will be happy with the Silver
[One (M7) General] :
Do all you guys 'feel' that Phone4U are leading us all on?
[One (M7) General] jonstatt:
Did they ever offer free gifts with the SIM free version? Other than a cheaper price, I thought it was always just phone only.

I ordered with P4U yesterday the minute that Amazon changed their date. I still have not had an email confirmation of my order although when I phone up they say the order is okay.

---------- Post added at 12:25 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:24 PM ----------

I wondered that, but then wouldn't they do that with both colours rather than just silver?
[One (M7) General] scotcruz:
Oh yes most definitely..

Jonstatt, they never offered free accessories with the simfree
[One (M7) General] ant78:
What was out of date? I thought it was simple to unlock and root the One?

[One (M7) General] dafadau:

I did online chat & was told 3 to 5 days

Does anyone know if any London stores have it in stock. Looking to exchange my handset because of the gaps at the top and bottom of the phone
[One (M7) General] Nekromantik:
Dont know why one guy on here got told they selling sim free for £449 as I called 3 stores here who had no sim free and one store in croydon who had sim free in stock but price was £489.99.
[One (M7) General] onlinejobwork:
I called 29 p4u store none of have in stock
[One (M7) General] ant78:
not very happy here. My phone has been sat in the warehouse for 24hrs waiting to be shipped. I rang them to see what was going on and why the wait. I was told the phone would be shipped within 5 days even though its just sat waiting ! I told them i wanted to cancel and buy from else where so she refunded me my 1st months line rental. Still not happy and ill have a think over weekend weather to cancel and go with three netwok
[One (M7) General] atif21:
That was me. She said it was £449 and when I asked on the online chat they told me that they can't be sure what each individual store is charging so I couldn't confirm if it was correct or not. I'm going in tomorrow morning to buy one and will report back what price I'm charged.
[One (M7) General] Nekromantik:
What store did you call?
[One (M7) General] atif21:
Birmingham New Street
[One (M7) General] ant78:
No, i ordered yesterday and mine still hasn't been dispatched , she told me on the phone 3-5 days and that my phone wont ship till at least Monday now! Great service!
[One (M7) General] Nekromantik:
I just called and they said no stock has ever been there and they expecting more next week but price is £490. I think you were being lied to. As £449 is way too low for a handset this high spec that just came out.
[One (M7) General] atif21:
Really?! Why would they tell me something else? I would have bought it online if I'd known :(. I'm going to call them and give them an earful for lying to me as well. I suppose it is Phones4U and I personally have never really liked them, I just wanted to get the phone as soon as possible and they seemed to be the only option.
[One (M7) General] Nekromantik:
Cheapest is Three at £479.99 and then Phones4u at 489.99 but phones4u is unlocked while three is not. If you want the phone right away croydon have some in stock.
[One (M7) General] Rage1ofakind:
Asda Direct are doing it for £499 but are giving a Free case and the £55 HD Media link for free!
[One (M7) General] Nekromantik:
Yes thats where I getting mine from but delivery might not be until 3rd April as they say stock arrives 29th. Hope they are wrong and it arrives in the warehouse on 27th.
[One (M7) General] Nekromantik:
Please stop posting this everywhere...its called trolling and its against the rules.

You make no sense....people not happy about delays are the people that LOVE the phone so much that they want it NOW and not later. Not being happy about waiting shows the need for the phone..how on earth does it mean your a sheep?
[One (M7) General] djayyy:
That is a great deal though isn't t!!!
[One (M7) General] Nekromantik:
Good deal but not sure how much I would use the MediaLink.

Will sell it most probs.

Dont like the fact they might not get stock early so I can have the handset on 28th.
[One (M7) General] jonny68:
Surely not :cool: if that was the case I'd buy two and get them unlocked
[One (M7) General] Nekromantik:
It was a mistake price and they cancelled all orders.

ive put in for an exchange of the silver to black..anyone else doing this, the bags here ready to send on monday.still in debate with changing colours lol. i like the silver ..then i dont..then i do
[One (M7) General] west2cool:
When will u get the black if u send the silver black
[One (M7) General] arknailed7754:
Well probably end of next week early week after
[One (M7) General] Razwaz:

[One (M7) General] abhs89:
Just to let you guys know. Brent Cross store London has 5-6 in stock. I got mine exchanged today!

Looks like HTC extended its deadline for trading your old phone for a htc one.

[One (M7) General] RyanDawson:
Ive put in an exchange as well. I ordered the bag Thursday afternoon but the bag hasnt arrived yet. I just hope the request went through on thursday as if it hasnt them im out of the 7 day cooling period.

I like the look of silver but i'd rather have the Black one to spend the next 18 months with. Even if it does mean waiting a week or so extra :)
[One (M7) General] arknailed7754:
Yeah same here thinking long term...shoukdnt of been impatient in the first place..

No I think when you request the exchange is when it's perceived as your actual date mate it's fine
[One (M7) General] atif21:
So I found one silver HTC in stock at Phones4u in Birmingham City Centre and returned it to the store in Bull Ring because I bought it with no wrapping on the phone and no protectors on the phone either. It seems that they had used it as a demonstrator and I wasn't happy that I was spending so much for a phone that has been used. I'm curious of the other people who have ordered the phone, did it come with all packaging sealed and the phone in a plastic sleeve or with a protector on it? I'd rather wait and get one from a store where the phone box is sealed, or order it online.
[One (M7) General] craftycarper1:
Yes, mine was fully sealed.
[One (M7) General] atif21:
Ok that makes me feel that my decision to return was the right one. Anyone looking to buy the phone from a Birmingham City Centre store, please make sure you get one which is sealed!
[One (M7) General] ant78:
I ordered the silver version:good:
[One (M7) General] soundb0y:
I would love to go pick one of these up in London tomorrow. Does anyone know places with stock? Also what are the best contract deals?

I'm looking at 2gb+ data with the ability to tether. Was going to go with three but then noticed they charge an extra £5 a month just to tether 1gb.

I was gonna sell my media-link I got free with one-x last year but for what I would have got for it I just put it in the draw with other bit and bobs. I would sooner stamp on it than give it away for penny's.
[One (M7) General] Nekromantik:
Il be getting media link hd with my one free and i will put it up on ebay. Can get around £30-£40 for it so not too bad. Will make the phone £450 then.
[One (M7) General] Barca009:
Why don't you try Multicon Widget, really makes a difference on your home screen...
[One (M7) General] RyanDawson:
I will be sending my Silver One back to P4U later today in exchange for a Black handset. Hopefully it will come before 2nd April but its only a week off so i wont be bothered if it doesnt :)

I have gone back to using my HTC Desire S in the mean time and one of the first things i noticed (Besides the size) was the quality of sound. HTC One has really upped the benchmark regarding mobile phone sound quality.
[One (M7) General] Barca009:
What's the reason for the swap?

Reason I'm asking is because I have the black one pre-ordered and recently I've been seriously considering changing to silver due to the finger prints and chips on the handset really showing.

Example:

[One (M7) General] jutley:
i have done the same i like the black now just picked up a brand new nokia lumia 920 in yellow very cheap £250 to use in the mean time.
[One (M7) General] riz157:
That's a good deal for Nokia.
[One (M7) General] jutley:
Yea since they are £520 simfree its such a nice looking phone in yellow brand new and a offer on the box for a free wireless charger in yellow by submitting the unique code its all good bargain here.
[One (M7) General] abhs89:
Going to get mine exchanged again... but sending it in this time. Here's to hoping for a gapless phone.
[One (M7) General] riz157:
I had the same issue with my One S they replaced the whole casing so it was fine after that.

I was interested with black but it looks less appealing now might just stick with silver.
[One (M7) General] abhs89:
How long did the bag take to come to you?
[One (M7) General] kalo88:
Mines going back sadly for an exchange, the screen keeps flickering and the screen isn't flush, the top left corner is raised.

Hope my second one is better, the one downside of pre-order... they rushed to fill orders and QC obviously wasn't that good! =/
[One (M7) General] riz157:
Patience is a virtue. Best things come to those who wait.
[One (M7) General] RyanDawson:
The reason was just because i think i like the Black model better and seen as though ill be using this handset for the next 18 months i'm looking at the long term.

It took 2-3 days, Ordered on Weds/Thurs and it arrived on Saturday :good:
[One (M7) General] Electronic Punk:
Walked into P4U in Croydon yesterday, no reservation and picked a silver one up.
[One (M7) General] catachresistant:
Yep, this is why I've held off. Probably going to plunge in after the GSIV launches, the following reasons:

1. Possible price drop, even if it's minor

2. Tweaked/improved manufacturing process and QC

3. Better day one firmware (the ISO bug in the camera fixed, etc, possibly 4.2.2)

4. Better day one support for 1080p devices in the market

5. Better day one selection of mods and ROMs. Keymapping (multitasking is more important to me than home)!

Good things definitely come to those who wait.

But seeing all you happy One owners does give me a bad case of device lust :(
