THIS. It's a massive PR campaign failure.
[One (M7) General] omersak:
It will be delayed again, by a week. Clove is informing its customers about the delay to April 03. from the Clove thread:

Stock update

Stock Update: Further delay from HTC, stock expected early April 2013. First batch expected 3rd April.
[One (M7) General] Nekromantik:
This just keeps getting better dont it. lol

This has been a huge fail for HTC.

First date 15th March (only phones4u and three had stock)

Second date: week comencing 25th (now delayed)

Third date April 3rd.
[One (M7) General] weaselEST:
Fool me once, shame on you, fool me twice, shame on me.
[One (M7) General] Tarzan-:
If they are going to get their stock in April then I won't receive it until 10th. I guess its time for me to cancel my pre-orders and wait for local stock which is due in a couple of weeks anyway.

HTC you are really "quiet blatant"
[One (M7) General] weaselEST:
Yes, also cancelling now. No point in ordering it from UK now.
[One (M7) General] MuhKoInc:
Goddamnit :c

Would be nice if they'd just put out an actual f'ing statement about an actual release date instead of avoiding mentioning it like the plague :P
[One (M7) General] Svenvdmeer:
Where did you get this?
[One (M7) General] Snood:
I remain amazed at how annoyed some of you are getting and how willingly you make it hard for yourself. The first date 15th was very short lived. Then the next date of w/c 25th, firstly you folks assume this means dispatched 25th, then on 26th act like you've been screwed over. regarding 25th date, you all know that other suppliers have said 29th so it's not a huge leap to think that it will be the same for handtec, which means after Easter of course. if there's a further delay like it seems there will be then SO WHAT!? just wait!

Cancelling your order now is even more ridiculous. if things are delayed for Germany, UK and Tiwan then your country will have longer delays too probably. Keep the pre-order, keep your place in the queue until you know what the situation is either in your own country or with handtec.

I have a pre-order for the black one from handtec. Sure it's frustrating to wait but it's completely out of control of the shops and I don't think it's an enormous **** up on part of HTC either, I guess it's part mis-managment but also some rotten luck for HTC also. It's only noticeable to us early adopters that there's even a delay.

Oh, and some people are calling Handtec and other suppliers daily.... WHY? what can they tell you that we don't already know. They are there to sell you stuff, not keep stuff from you. when they have it in, you will get it.
[One (M7) General] weaselEST:
I'm cancelling because I have a different contacts in the wall (EU vs UK). And I was willing to live with the non-standard one if I got the phone early. Also because of warranty - there have been reports that there are some quality issues - I wan't to review the phone myself before I purchase it.
[One (M7) General] inffy:
Also cancelled my order from Handtec. I'm gonna buy it locally then.
[One (M7) General] Palla71:
Why?

Because those suppliers already charged their credit cards, and that's not funny.
[One (M7) General] inffy:
BTW the phone package doesn't even include wall charger. Only a USB cable :)
[One (M7) General] llothar:
So I moved my preorder from Amazon (they moved to 12th April...) to Handtec, which from what I read will start dispatching 3rd. For me it's not much of a difference from 29th that Amazon originally claimed - due to Easter shutdown of Norway it would have arrived 2nd/3rd anyway, so I will be delayed just 2-3 days. Fingers crossed.

weaselEST - you can buy a charger locally from HTC or any other company - charging through micro USB is pretty standard. I will be using a charger from my busted S3 ;)
[One (M7) General] aminana:
Xin loi nhung minh khong hieu lam
[One (M7) General] Svenvdmeer:
right back at ya!
[One (M7) General] weaselEST:
Do you know how much they charge for chargers here :D
[One (M7) General] johnniem82:
Handtec website
[One (M7) General] Snood:
The warranty is valid throughout Europe (Thanks EU) and surely you have owned a phone before and therefore own at least one charger. Being in Sweden I have the same "problem" here.. the UK charger will be good for when I'm in the UK as my last one broke and i'll use my charger from my Desire for the One
[One (M7) General] ext109:
Stock Update: Further delay from HTC, stock expected early April 2013. First batch expected 10th April. damnit!

edit: only the black..
[One (M7) General] weaselEST:
Still the quality issues remain. Better to make sure it is a decent copy myself :) Already got the refund.
[One (M7) General] inffy:
You still need to buy that charger separately, it won't come in the package atleast what I have heard and seen on unboxing videos.
[One (M7) General] kotag82:
Not true... I have silver one from P4U and charger was there... as description says charger is included (handtec website), ordered my hox+ from there and charger was there... Only O2 was not supplying charger with hox/hox+ for they green thinking...

Does anybody get touch with handtec? I have no reply yet
[One (M7) General] nukemonk:
about what?

or you're looking for any special information?
[One (M7) General] kotag82:
I sent them email/ticket about situation and nothing came back yet... I know about delays...
[One (M7) General] :No-Frost::
The only reason why I want the device so badly at this moment, is because the touch on my desire hd has failed and now I'm using my old HTC Magic (I still have it)...

Anyway, cancelling the preorder is nonsense to me. Handtec has onw of the lower prices, they dispatch through fedex if you choose to and they are offering the flip case. Also, we can't blame Handtec on HTC mistakes.

Of course I'm kind of pissed of, but there's not much more we can do.

Anyway, I think I should thank the people who are cancelling their preorders... This means that in case the stock is not enough, we will have more chances to get our devices due to a low amount of orders made for the device =D ...

Anyway, I can live a couple of weeks more with an HTC Magic without Micro SD (because it seems the lock broke and I can't get the SD card into the phone)... Just it's funny to see so many people complaining when a lot of you have good devices working.

Chill out, take a Michelada (beer + lemon juice + tabasco sauce + salt on the border of the glass) or a regular beer and just relax and wait for the device =)

Well, that's all I have to say, now... Back to work...

[One (M7) General] XL2001:
Well I'm on the fence about this only because I think it wont be that much longer to actually get the phone locally which is huge in case there are issues with the phone. I'm at the point where I'm telling myself that I waited this long, what's 2 or so more weeks. If it doesn't ship next week I'll probably cancel.
[One (M7) General] ajftl:
Ugh I got that stupid email too. What to do what to do. There is no other phone out there that gets my attention. I already have the z and is blaaa. Not big deal the lg optimus g pro ugly and huge. Ugh. Lol
[One (M7) General] jagdesh:
More Delay from HTC not Handtec

Got the Handtec email a while ago.... went online and placed the order for Silver one also (originally had placed order for the black one).

Since the black one is going to be taking too much time I dont mind the silver .. want the device bad because using a cheap replacement phone at the moment...

Anyways will cancel the black order tomorrow by phone and keep the silver one ...

Hope they get the Silver for sure on 3rd of April & ship it soon ...

I Hope HTC is not making us April fools :mad:
[One (M7) General] llothar:
I just hope that this first batch of silver stuff will be enough for my today's pre-order. I already pre-ordered directly in Norway - the same day they change shipping date from 25th March to 15th April. Then moved to Amazon - today they pushed from 29th March to 12th April. I canceled again now I'm with handtec. Surely enough 3 hours after my pre-order they send out an email about smaller batches... damn..
[One (M7) General] quattro_rs:
i hope they fix all the hardware problems by then, anyway im not going to get one from the first batch just in case .
[One (M7) General] Hardcore73:
I am going to cancel my order (again)

I am just going to cancel my order again since it got pushed back, again.

I will just wait for the US version since it will probably only be 2 weeks from when we would get the UK version now. Other sites are saying April 12th and since Handtec said "Limited quantities", I am going to assume it will not fulfill all preorders.
[One (M7) General] vapotrini:
My order for a silver unit has been in since the 8th of March. I wrote Handtec to find out if I'd be on the first shipment and this was their reply...

"Thank you for your email. We are unable to advise on this as we are currently not sure how many of these devices we will be receiving in stock, we appreciate that this is of not much help to yourself however as soon as we have any updates we will inform you. In the mean time however if you wish for the order to be cancelled then please do contact us, we apologise for any disappointment caused by this. Regards. C While.

> Handtec Customer Care"

Pretty discouraging IMO.
[One (M7) General] mmathiou:
Same with me, I will keep my pre order, no fault of handtech, I can live with the one week delay:).Happy easter to all.
[One (M7) General] strobo:
Cancel pre-orders

Seeing all the pre-order cancellations gives me hope I will get the phone in the first batch. So go ahead everyone... keep cancelling
[One (M7) General] omar302:
I hope, at least, that delays would mean better quality since they had more than enough time to check everything else.
[One (M7) General] Riyal:
I suggest you keep the black one instead. I too have ordered the black one.

The reason is handtec is not sure that they will be getting enough stock to fullfill all pre-orders. Cancelling your black order and go with silver would likely just delay your more since if you ordered a new one(silver) you'll likely be on the very last line of the queue which in the end might even end up further delay that the 10th of april.
[One (M7) General] inffy:
And the black one is much nicer looking :)
[One (M7) General] Riyal:
I agree but if handtec gives us the opportunity to swap devices then I'll swap the black for the silver due to the delays.

I'm not really bothered with the color actually :p since I will wrap them up with otterbox anyways(Sorry I'm gonna buy HTC One for the software features not the design :p ). I just ordered the black one since I saw a poll here on the forums which favored the silver over the black. So I decided to get the black instead since I thought it gets lesser preorders so I might likely get it earlier :)

And yeah my assumption failed I guess.
[One (M7) General] Djmk4:
Anyone that still believes that we will get it sooner than next week??
[One (M7) General] inffy:
No
[One (M7) General] mmathiou:
If we are lucky next week, otherwise...
[One (M7) General] Riyal:
I am unlucky... Will be getting mine on the 10th of april. If only i knew this was happening I could have get the silver instead
[One (M7) General] 4onu:
Mail from handtec :

,,Thank you for your email. Please be advised that we currently have no information regarding the quantity of devices that we will be receiving therefore are unable to advise whether your device will be in the first batch or not, we apologise for any disappointment caused by this. Regards. Nick. ,,
[One (M7) General] jagdesh:
Called Handtec today about my order status (I Know the first batch of silver will come on 3rd April... but still)

I asked them if my order will be dispatched from the up-coming batch of silver which is set to arrive on the 3rd...

To that they answered that you will have to call us on the 3rd and then only we will be giving you exact information about your order ( meaning on the 3rd I will come to know if I am set to receive my HTC One Silver from the 3rd April batch or not)

Well guess need to wait since nothing can be done, especially for customers like me who dont even live in UK and therefore have no other choice...

All the best to all those who have ordered Silver ... fingers crossed...:p;)
[One (M7) General] Riyal:
Out of curiosity when did you preorder from handtec? Meh lucky you while I would have to wait a few weeks more :(
[One (M7) General] gezzy:
R: Orders from Handtec

My preorder was made on March 9!

PS: a silver one.
[One (M7) General] 4onu:
lucky you ,mine on 11 march
[One (M7) General] Sayoreti:
I have a question regarding the shipping methods (DHL Express, Fedex Priority and Royal Mail).

How long will be the delivery time for each of these? (I live in the Middle East)

And which one is the most recommended one and why? :eek:
[One (M7) General] llothar:
Lucky you, mine on 26th March - I was on Amazon.co.uk ship before. Sigh...
[One (M7) General] zcui:
I placed mine on 8th, I guess we'll all be fine.:)

Handtec started taking preorders on March 5th. If after so many delays, HTC still can't fulfill the preorders placed during the first 5 days, that would be a complete joke.
[One (M7) General] persano:
can i trust handtec
[One (M7) General] llothar:
HTC One Silver IN STOCK on HTC website! http://www.htc.com/uk/smartphones/htc-one/#pre-order

Why am I writing it here? Because they ship to UK only. I am in Norway. So maybe if you have a pre-order with handtec.co.uk and live in UK you could cancel your pre-order and just get it directly from HTC? ;) This way I (and other non-UK folk) will have higher chances of getting a phone from first Handtec batch!

Look at the expansys topic :

"WHAT A SHAMBLES!!!!!!!!

They are making Expansys fulfil orders from the HTC site first !!! They have 200 phones (silver) coming in today.

Basically they have to fulfill those HTC site orders first and 'then' if there is any left over they will allocate them on a first come first serve basis."

So if you are in UK, have pre-order with Handtec just jump ship to HTC Official store! Thanks! ;)
[One (M7) General] Hardcore73:
Just ordered from the HTC site!

That information you gave about the HTC website and sending to the UK . I am in US and I just ordered!
[One (M7) General] buBleZ:
It's just preorder mentioned in the website
[One (M7) General] Hardcore73:
You have to scroll down. They are in Stock!
[One (M7) General] dibdin:
How long for delivery?
[One (M7) General] Hardcore73:
It just says waiting for shipment to ship.
[One (M7) General] llothar:
I talked with the support and they said that I should wait "few weeks" for it to get released in Norway...

Shipping has fixed prices for UK, but you can select different country afterwards.

edit: also note that both Friday and Monday are bank holidays in UK, so any processing will happen on Tuesday.
[One (M7) General] Hardcore73:
If You Want Your Phone Now

www.Expansys.Com has them in stock now.

Please click my Thank You button :)
[One (M7) General] ChazyChaz:
68 in stock thats not much
[One (M7) General] Hardcore73:
Just waiting for my Thank You meter to jump to 100 woo hoo!
[One (M7) General] encho:
It would make sense that those 68 are left AFTER fulfilling the preorders.
[One (M7) General] ChazyChaz:
who knows CPH push date again to 5th april

they show now 17 april hahahha
[One (M7) General] poczynek:
I ordered one based on the 68 being in stock however now the web page says 22 days to available??
[One (M7) General] zehoo2:
Ordered one due to the 68 in stock as well. If after processing it still says 22 days on my order I'll just cancel it and stick with my amazon order. Pretty cheeky if they didn't actually have 68 available though.

edit* says 68 in stock again
[One (M7) General] Hardcore73:
Where does it say 22 days till available.

---------- Post added at 05:24 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:19 PM ----------

Mine says 22 days now WTF! What kind of scam is this? And the stock still says 68 in stock. Looks like they just put some garbage up there so people would buy it and then they ship whenever they get stock.
[One (M7) General] llothar:
This is getting seriously stupid.

It was 68 in Stock, now it's back to 17th April. It changes 6 times today! I do not believe they sold 68 devices within 45minutes
[One (M7) General] romitkin:
Actually, I do. Since they fulfill the orders that come from the official HTC UK website, it is more than likely 68 devices were sold in 45 minutes.
[One (M7) General] inffy:
Well seems that expansys does what it has always done. I would recommend not to order from them
[One (M7) General] llothar:
It's back at 68...

I checked the reviews of this shop - bloody hell! 2.9 out of 10! Handtec is 7.9 out of 10. I am staying on this boat, even if it takes a bit longer.
[One (M7) General] jah:
I second that. In the early years of Smartphones they were very good but now they are over priced and don't get stock any earlier.
[One (M7) General] riz157:
P4u have been most reliable ordered my black one yesterday already dispatched and should have it tomorrow or 2/4 at the latest.

[One (M7) General] riz157:
Just thought someone might be interested.
[One (M7) General] omersak:
Haha, I guess us handtec folk who have gone through 20+ days of last minute delays are a bit cranky and expect some sort of news whenever the thread gets bumped.

Is anyone else getting this with that site?

just close the browser, relogin and reorder again. Seems like their site is sort of broken at the moment.

Was trying to get it preordered before the supposed April 2nd shipping date
[One (M7) General] kevinnugent:
I think they have said anything ordered after the 27th won't be in that shipment. I think they're worried their big order has been cut down.
[One (M7) General] Montague:
Where did you see this?
[One (M7) General] takitoes:
Pretty sure it says something like that on the clove website. People have drawn some conclusions that handtec will be the same :(

weird
[One (M7) General] h4oxer:
Maybe when someone gets his/her HTC One delivered from Handtec, could they also post which date they pre-ordered it. I have to wait till 8th of April because I ordered the black one. But I pre-ordered it 18th of March so I am not sure I will be at the first batch.

Order from Handtec pending

I also have an order from Handtec pending. I got a mail saying I WILL NOT be debited but I was. Still, what matters is that the phone should be in my hands around the 10th.

Dunno if they will accommodate me in the 3rd April stock. Can't wait!!:fingers-crossed:

By the way, any idea on the import duties to India for this phone? Am getting a variety of answers ranging from 4% to 25%, but nothing concrete. I am importing The One through DHL.

:cyclops:

Also, I was not able to create an account while ordering (Some array-merge error appeared). The order was successful, but I dont have any idea of its status. :(
