Hello,

Unfortunately, the release date for the item(s) listed below was changed by the supplier, and we need to provide you with a new estimated delivery date based on the new release date:

"HTC One 32GB UK SIM Free Smartphone - Silver"

Estimated arrival date: April 03 2013 - April 08 2013

One of Amazon's aims is to provide a convenient and efficient service; in this case, we have fallen short. Please accept our sincere apologies.

[One (M7) General] TimsterRS4:
f*ck it.

Just got the email from Amazon.... mine's been pushed back to the 30th March .:(
[One (M7) General] scotcruz:
I have been following the forum since yesterday with a lot of speculation about it been a rumour etc etc.

Last night I cancelled my pre-order with Amazon and placed order with Handtec, which is extra £14 for an ibeats headset and a Flip cover. I believe it is a better deal than the Free HD link one.

I was just being realistic with the fact that if one retailer is delayed the other will do.. If someone in the Amazon Chat tells you that you would get the phone by 15th. Its a Lie!
[One (M7) General] Wh1techapel:
It's a better deal if you sell the ibeats, because they are terrible, and to confirm, this morning I had an Email from Amazon confirming my order has been delayed until the 30th March...
[One (M7) General] scotcruz:
oh yeah... they will be going on eBay as soon as they are received :)
[One (M7) General] Wh1techapel:
Haha, then you got yourself a blinder of a deal. :p
[One (M7) General] Lafenear:
Got the same mail, except I ordered the black model.

So disappointed with HTC on this one.
[One (M7) General] Hardcore73:
Order from Handtec - LTE Support in US?

Will the UK version support LTE on ATT network in the US or just be a 3G phone?
[One (M7) General] daleski75:
Just a 3G phone as our LTE bands are different to yours.
[One (M7) General] thugangel662:
I got mine from the amazon seller total digital, but the amazon warehouse ones are all sold out.

The One Double Dip Hard Shell is still in-stock at amazon & everywhere else.
[One (M7) General] okorn_:
Me too :(

Then changed to one day delivery to Germany and it now says 16-18 mar 13.
[One (M7) General] paorpas:
is it safe to Amazon Germany?
[One (M7) General] okorn_:
What do you mean?
[One (M7) General] paorpas:
sorry I'm Spanish and I write with google translate

- Amazon Germany is sure to send the 16-18?
[One (M7) General] okorn_:
No, nothing is sure. I ordered on Amazon UK.
[One (M7) General] mr_stoosh:
It seems that Amazon.co.uk aren't selling the HTC One and only have resellers listed for both the Silver and Black colours.
[One (M7) General] spiralz:
Well not any more.... When i pre ordered it was £519 with free hdmi link (sold and dispatched by amazon uk) now its gone up a tenner and the hmdi deal has disappeared

All i can think that's happened is amazon has run out of their stock and removed their listing until they can guarantee more stock?

also i think that only the people that ordered before the 13th march will get on the new launch day, plus as the new launch day is a Friday bank-holiday for the uk along with the Monday being a Holiday as well i think the earliest we can expect the pre orders from amazon to arrive will be 2nd april :crying:

oh well sh1t happens......
[One (M7) General] mhbr12742:
I ordered 1 hour after the launch and am still waiting. I ordered on from Clove for my girlfriend from Clove at the same time and I am still waiting for that too. I don't get why retail got there's first and mail order are at least 2 weeks behind?
[One (M7) General] spiralz:
The Networks will always get the first bite there much more profit in contract deals than us SIM free peeps im afraid, its out of order but their just protecting their bottom line profits.

id rather wait a month than get tucked up for a contract especially with some one like "3" just my opinion mind :confused:

"You are now connected to Karthik R from Amazon.co.uk.

Me:Hi i had a friend pre order a htc one on my behalf, now i know the release date has slipped but when we ordered it on the 12th march it said it sold and dispatched by amazon uk, now the advert shows only a re seller option and not amazon can you tell me why this is? thanks

can you confirm my phone will still be shipped by amazon and not a third party?

Karthik R:Hello, my name is Karthik.

Thank you for contacting Amazon.co.uk. Could you confirm the name on your account, please?

Me: Jim

Karthik R:Thank you. Let me check this for you.

Could you hold for a 2 to 3 minutes while I research this for you? Simply stay online and leave this chat window open. Is that OK?

Me:yes

Karthik R:Thanks for waiting.

Our latest information indicates that "HTC One 32GB UK SIM Free Smartphone" hasn't yet been released and the expected release date is March 29, 2013. While we are confident that copies will be made available, we cannot provide more precise information about the availability date.

Me:thats not what i asked??

Karthik R:I'm sorry if did not answer your question. Let me double check on this.

Me:you have been listing the item for weeks, now you are no longer listing it this totally contradicts what you just said

Karthik R:The release date is subject to change. As we’re informed that there may be a change in this date, we haven't list the item. We will list the item, as soon as we get an update about the exact availability of the item from our suppliers.

[One (M7) General] alpha beta gaga:
why are you guys trying to order from amazon? silver is readily available at p4u.and it is cheaper.
[One (M7) General] mr_stoosh:
Cos I've got a £54 voucher and get the media link thrown in all for £470
[One (M7) General] MarylandCookie:
Thats awesome! :)
[One (M7) General] mr_stoosh:
Tell me about it! I'm well pleased with the deal :)
[One (M7) General] alpha beta gaga:
very nice!
[One (M7) General] spiralz:
agreed but i've had mine bought for me by someone who owes me a big favour and he can only use amazon..... so its free but i've got to wait....;)
[One (M7) General] aboycalledsu:
Just to let you know that I've pre-ordered from Amazon with the deal including the Media Link. I contacted Amazon to tell them how p!ssed off I was that Asda are selling it £20 cheaper, with a Media Link and an official case, and they replied within the hour saying they'd refund the difference.

Doesn't help with timings, but thought I'd let you guys know in case anyone else wants to get £20 back ;)
[One (M7) General] paorpas:
asda what shop?
[One (M7) General] paorpas:
don't give me 20 pounds :(

However my order still is "due to arrive on 30th March". I contacted amazon and they said it will be dispatched later though :/. Too bad P4u does not send to Norway :/
[One (M7) General] g3rm3n:
Any news for pre orders before 13th March ?

thanks
[One (M7) General] kenny17430:
Did my pre order on the 20th of February and still have the same estimation delivery date.

DELIVERY ESTIMATE: Wednesday 3 April 2013 - Thursday 4 April 2013 by 9:00 pm
[One (M7) General] g3rm3n:
Me too :good:
[One (M7) General] thugangel662:
I talked with Amazon about the delay & this is what they said.. :crying:
[One (M7) General] al3asmawe:
My order was to days ago and i have just like you

DELIVERY ESTIMATE: Wednesday 3 April 2013 - Thursday 4 April 2013
[One (M7) General] NinjaHotdog:
I pre-ordered 2 phones just last night, and my estimated delivery is the same as yours :rolleyes: I'm 100% for the HTC One, but these delays are really going to put the One at a disadvantage in terms of sales to the S4, because now they have lost that 1 month lead :(
[One (M7) General] Lafenear:
I ordered mine on the 8th of March. It still says my dispatch date, will be on the 28th of March and "Not Yet Dispatched:	1 item - delivery estimate: 3 April 2013 - 11 April 2013".

It's worth noting that you can't actually order the phone from Amazon.co.uk anymore, only from a 3rd party.

Maybe their stock is exhausted, and they won't put pre-orders up untill the 12th again, and for those who ordered after the 12/13.

1 more day....
[One (M7) General] NinjaHotdog:
Hey sorry noob question, I'm from australia so I don't know much about amazon and stuff, but my order status shows "Sold by: Amazon EU S.a.r.L." Does that mean I that Amazon is selling me my phone and not a 3rd party seller on the Amazon site?
[One (M7) General] Lafenear:
That is correct :)
[One (M7) General] Lafenear:
Just got the email:

Hello,

We're writing to you about your Amazon.co.uk order xxxxxxxx which included the HTC One 32GB UK SIM Free Smartphone

HTC has let us know that the release date of this phone has changed to April 12, 2013.

Please note that pre-orders will be fulfilled in order of purchase date and we won't charge your payment card until just before your items are dispatched.

We're sorry about any inconvenience caused.

Warmest regards

Customer Service Department

However, my phone is still on for tomorrow, the 28th.
[One (M7) General] ChazyChaz:
HTC its worse company i ever see , my first and last pre order for mobile phone :)
[One (M7) General] okorn_:
F*ck this! I'm ordering a Nexus 4 for the moment.

I needed the HTC to arrive before 02APR. Now it's too late, just cancelled.
[One (M7) General] les_paulde:
My order (black) now definitely got delayed on Amazon UK:

Hopefully my Expansys order (pre-ordered the day of HTC's announcement) will still go through in 4 days as listed on their website, not very hopeful anymore though.

Why is it so painful to await this phone? I had a similar urge with the HD2 back in the day, but that release went silky smooth compared to this one.:crying: Maybe it's also cuz I'm completely sick and tired of my DROID3 which feels like a brick in my pocket these days -> commmown HTC!
[One (M7) General] thugangel662:
All will be delayed. Expansys will send you an email soon saying the same. Clove already sent it..

HTC sucks :)
[One (M7) General] llothar:
Handtec emailed recently:

"Handtec expect the first batch of the HTC One Silver on the 3rd April 2013 and the Black version on the 10th April 2013. [...] Please note this delay is from HTC directly and will affect all UK Sim free retailers."

I dont know what to think anymore. I am sick and tired of jumping between pre-orders...
[One (M7) General] smarty2322:
Just get a silver one.black will scratch to easy
[One (M7) General] llothar:
Is silver available anywhere with international delivery? Earliest I can find is Handtec with 3rd of April.
[One (M7) General] inffy:
Why would the Black scratch more easily? I think One S had the problem with the coating but the HTC One doesn't use the same special coating on the device...as far as I know.
[One (M7) General] Riyal:
Blacking prone to scratching is false. Both silver and black were processed by the same anodization method. It's just the colors are different. I think most people tend to believe that because with the silver version you'll hardly notice the scratches.
[One (M7) General] willumpie82:
I've got a HTC one S black, lots of chipping on the sharp edges.

As long as they didn't use the same technology as with the HTC one S black (micro arc) you are almost correct. but still. a scratch on the silver anodized body will show the aluminium color, uh silver. a scratch on a black surface will show,...

scratch proneness is already discussed at

[One (M7) General] sausalito:
When you enter in your order, what is the estimate delivery time?

Mine is : Delivery estimate: 3 April 2013 - 16 April 2013 (More about estimates)

So maybe Amazon UK will have enough stock in few days
[One (M7) General] vegetaleb:
Isn't supposed to be out tomorrow in UK?

Or at least a second small wave of One before the big One of April?

Anyway it's Easter Holidays this weekend + Monday ;)
[One (M7) General] Danltn:
Ordered my HTC One Silver from Amazon back in February, I've finally swapped to P4U at Weds 1am and received Thurs 11am. Can't fault P4U service, although Amazon always feels so... reassuring with regard to faulty products. When my Galaxy Nexus broke they shipped me another the following day before giving me 30 days to send the old one back - whilst that's common with Amazon for low value items I'm surprised they did it for an item so valuable!
[One (M7) General] sausalito:
Same for me in the detail of the order, but in the general orders menu, it is noted : DELIVERY ESTIMATE: Monday 15 April 2013 - Tuesday 16 April 2013 by 9:00 pm
[One (M7) General] Von Ropen:
Does someone received his HTC one? Estimate shipping 11 April...

I hoppe there is not another delay...

[One (M7) General] Lafenear:
I don't think there will be another delay. They have already delayed it 2 times now.

HTC har just prioritized the people buying it with a contract, instead of us who's buying it sim-free.
[One (M7) General] NinjaHotdog:
I wonder why a big company like Amazon hasn't got stock yet, even though smaller companies like Handtec and Clove started dispatching early preorders yesterday? :confused:
[One (M7) General] nankush:
Exactly same feeling here not sure if can rely on the date given by amazon.
[One (M7) General] NinjaHotdog:
It's pretty stupid to be honest, I'm really tempted to just cancel my preorder and buy it locally when it comes out in Australia. It will be roughly the same price and I get a local warranty, but it's not released here until the 23rd, 5 days longer than my estimated delivery from Amazon.:rolleyes:
[One (M7) General] scotcruz:
I wonder why the price keeps going up.. first it was £519 when I cancelled my pre-order then it went to £524 and now its up to £537...
[One (M7) General] llothar:
Clove dispatched preorders up to 28th March, next batches in a week or so.

Handtec dispatched preorders up to 8th March only

Phones4U does not sell SIM free I think.
[One (M7) General] NinjaHotdog:
Damn, I ordered on the 26th and was deciding wether to go with Clove or Amazon, looks like I made the wrong choice. :(
[One (M7) General] Von Ropen:
Chated with amazon and says that Shipping will not delayed again...
[One (M7) General] nankush:
Have no faith in what they say as outside their control
[One (M7) General] Will.1:
Honestly, if you are sure it's 5 days and not 5 days that become 30 days, get it locally. It's much more convenient if you need a replacement or anything.

Phones4U do sell it sim free, it's still lacking stock atm.
[One (M7) General] gaabrysz:
Hope you get it soon guys. I have a friend working for amazon and he said he did not see any in stock so far:(
[One (M7) General] Von Ropen:
Amazon should receive its stock next week...
[One (M7) General] zehoo2:
I'll be cancelling my Amazon UK preorder tomorrow and preordering from an Australian carrier since they all open their preorders tomorrow for release on the 16th of April for internet preorders from Telstra which is the network I use.
[One (M7) General] NinjaHotdog:
Many sources are saying that its being released on the 23rd, where did you read that Telstra is starting on the 16th? If that's true though, I'm definitely doing that as well, because my order isn't due to arrive until the 18th!
[One (M7) General] Von Ropen:
It seems that amazon is the last who will receive HTC one stock... If I would know before I will place mi order on clove or handtec.

Enviado desde mi HTC One X usando Tapatalk 2
[One (M7) General] zehoo2:
Inside source who turned out to be wrong. He's been right on a few things but clearly he was wrong on this one. ;)

Either way I cancelled my amazon order and probably won't preorder with them in the future since they shipped the media link early despite the box being ticked for it to ship together thus I was charged for it.
[One (M7) General] Von Ropen:
Yes they do the same with me, when I ordered I ask to ship both items together and shipped media link without asking me. I keep the order because I placed on February and I do not what to loose my seniority on my order. If I change it and ordered on other place I will receive in May. Of course this will be my last order on Amazon.

Still says 12th of April.

Can you give a link that says it's in stock?
[One (M7) General] Soluble:
First post, but coming across like many others from iPhone. Ordered the HTC one from Amazon on the 13th of March. Ordered the black one. If it gets delayed again gonna have to buy locally!
[One (M7) General] inffy:
Black one is definately delays until the early next month. Check clove and handtec for example
[One (M7) General] @home:
P4U have black in stock - I'm just awaiting delivery of my 2nd Black one
[One (M7) General] Soluble:
That is really gonna suck. Sold my iPhone 4S, was using my 3GS, it broke, borrowed someone's Galaxy S(1) which I have flashed cyanogenmod 10.1 to ;) if I have to wait any longer I may give up on the HTC altogether :(
[One (M7) General] Von Ropen:
He has a friend who works at amazon.uk he know it because its friend informed him... No link to show...
[One (M7) General] llothar:
as I written in other amazon topic, I chatted with customer support today and they confirmed they will be shipping on 12 April.
[One (M7) General] gaabrysz:
I don't know why Amazon is not shipping them yet. I'll see my friend later today and maybe he will tell me what's going on. The phone is in a warehouse close to Milton Keynes at junction 13, Prologis Park Marston Gate. But it's only one or two pallets :(
[One (M7) General] scotcruz:
loving the detail mate.. lol two pallets
[One (M7) General] gaabrysz:
Sorry guys my friend didn't get an answer from the sales team:( the s/n of the phones is FA33VW or something like that. And sadly it's not two pallets. Only a about 200 phones, the other pallet was full of HTC media link and some other phones. But I bet amazon will get more soon.

So why wait for Amazon if you want one sim free?
[One (M7) General] philask:
How do you buy sim-free from P4U? (Ignore me I found it)
[One (M7) General] @home:
Excellent:good:
[One (M7) General] Soluble:
Do they ship internationally? I can't put my phone number in, comes up as invalid, so assumed they didn't ship internationally.
[One (M7) General] The Perfectionist:
I spoke to a representative yesterday in an impolite manner after being informed that my order will get postponed until 12th of April. Managed to seal a deal with him, which is that if i aint getting my item by 13th, I will have the option to cancel the order and keep the free gift (a media link HD which they charged me 55 pounds) and a complete refund. Guess now they have to make sure my order is fulfilled or i will walk away with a free media link HD and order somewhere else like Phones4u or Clove.

UPDATE:

Amazon staff has just confirmed that they have stocks in their warehouses already, they even had my delivery upgraded to expedited delivery for no extra cost. That means I am getting it on the 12th! Woohooo!
[One (M7) General] les_paulde:
Was this black or silver?

I just chatted to them as well, and whilst he couldn't confirm that they had stock already, he did say my unit (black) was scheduled for shipment tomorrow, so FINGERS CROSSED! :fingers-crossed:

Not sure if he had specifically mentioned any colour, but I ordered silver. Let's pray :)

Yeah,.. looks like they have got some stock.. its back on Sold by Amazon with del date of 12 April

It's supposed to go out on friday.

[One (M7) General] Soluble:
Only bright side is I'm sporting my first android device now. So getting to learn the ropes before it arrives. But I did order the thing on the 12th so its been a long wait!
[One (M7) General] Lafenear:
Just had a nice chat with Rakesh from Amazon.co.uk. He told me they hadn't got the Black HTC One's in stock yet, but he wrote and assured me I would have it on the delivery estimate written on my order. So between the 15th and 19th of April. Fingers crossed.
[One (M7) General] Soluble:
I was wondering why it only had the delivery estimate rather than a dispatch date for the last week+
[One (M7) General] thugangel662:
Just go an email from amazon saying order has been dispatched :D:D

Delivery estimate Thursday April 11.
