Last year I bought the One X and then got the S3. After seeing that awful S4 "show" it really looks like Samsung are turning into Apple V2.0 alot quicker than I imagined.

No intention of getting an S4 now. Just doesnt bring anything new to the party that will best the One.

Anyway back on topic. Special delivery is before 1pm if I remember correctly so im off to bed to await the doorbell!
[One (M7) General] GonzoDuke:
Just got my dispatch confirmation email a few minutes ago :D
[One (M7) General] 3473:
Watched the S4 event, liked some things, meh about others

Event finished, checked my junk email, HTC ONE dispatched! :D

Edit 1: No tracking number, even though it says it's sent via special delivery?

Edit 2: How pissed are we gonna be if they've sent us One X's
[One (M7) General] lestalegend:
I have my dispatch email too woot woot :beer:
[One (M7) General] dahmmy:
damn

i was sitting on the fence waiting for the s4 announcment to decide...

now ive decided p4u have changed delivery dates to 1-2 weeks grrrrrr
[One (M7) General] riz157:
Everyone was warned on this thread S4 is going to be a massive disappointment. More of the same cheap plastic, amoled screen with plenty of gimmicky battery suck tweaks. To be honest it's not as and as I thought it would be its actually much worse.
[One (M7) General] YoungAceAtlanta:
At least the S4 gimmicks aren't big gimmicks because half of those features "most" people won't use.. so its not a deal breaker unlike HTC and they so call "New camera technology" and "Voice sense"

The Camera and Audio is the most used feature of any phone.. so if you wanna screw with something and say "its next lvl" it better be next lvl

Not saying the camera on the HTC One is bad.. but is it going to replace a Nikon or a Canon.. No.. for a smartphone? Yeah
[One (M7) General] trickyhenry:
0:58 - shipped! Sim free;)
[One (M7) General] dahmmy:
I guess im old fashioned, i ilike to see/hear and decide for myself, regardless of what others might say :)
[One (M7) General] riz157:
I suppose Some people like to learn the hard way.:p
[One (M7) General] delboy98:

[One (M7) General] craftycarper1:
WOOHOO.......delivery @ 8.13am, fishing tackle......and a phone......now i'm in a real dilemma!!!:laugh:
[One (M7) General] :
Had an email saying mine was out but no tracking :/
[One (M7) General] Phil750123:
i think you need to find a empty lake .. you get to use your tackle, but because you wont catch anything you can sit and play with your phone all day!
[One (M7) General] beka:
Just got mine from phones4u 8:10am :D Royal Mail was early today :)
[One (M7) General] abhs89:
Should be getting mine by the 18th march now

So jealous of you guys that are receiving it today
[One (M7) General] gallifreyangirl:
Waiting for mine had email last night saying sent to royal mail special delivery for today butno tracker code.
[One (M7) General] craftycarper1:
Knowing my luck i'd drop it in the lake.......maybe i should have gone for the XZ instead....:laugh::laugh:
[One (M7) General] lestalegend:
Got mine ten mins ago... ordered two days ago!
[One (M7) General] riz157:
Sim free and did you get tracking no? I haven't received tracking no but on dispatch confirmation.
[One (M7) General] TimsterRS4:
Yeah, me too !
[One (M7) General] :
Same for me too, email to say I'll have it today but no tracking.
[One (M7) General] Phil750123:
ha i just have an image of somebody catching a fish and seeing the phone fly up in the air in slow motion!

darn sony and their waterproofing!

Have to say thanks for the sig pic btw.
[One (M7) General] riz157:
Mine is being delivered by Royal Mail special delivery, not sure whether they send email or not???

How about you?
[One (M7) General] funkyshaker:
So...P4U didnt get my order out but looks like Three pulled it out of the bag. Their phone is out for delivery!
[One (M7) General] jonstatt:
Despite getting my email at 4am, it just arrived. I checked the email headers and it really was sent at that time (i.e. it didn't go into Internet limbo somewhere). So clearly their backend systems are really really slow and need updating.
[One (M7) General] riz157:
Delivery by Royal Mail special delivery?

I know use few different couriers services, perhaps they Royal Mail don't send email confirmations?

---------- Post added at 08:53 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:51 AM ----------

Royal Mail?
[One (M7) General] :
Yep Royal Mail special delivery.
[One (M7) General] jonstatt:
Yep Special Delivery as everyone else so far. I had no tracking details though so I had been getting ready to call P4U again. Thankfully I do not need to!
[One (M7) General] riz157:
Mind you Royal Mail deliver in the afternoon in our area perhaps then.

---------- Post added at 08:55 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:54 AM ----------

That's reassuring.
[One (M7) General] craftycarper1:
Should be before 1pm.

Decisions decisions.....
[One (M7) General] Palla71:
Well, after all, kudos to p4u fro being the only one who delivered One in the world!!! :cool:

(maybe apart from a few German O2 handsets)
[One (M7) General] TimsterRS4:
Just got mine ... but never received a tracking number email !

So keep an ear-out :)
[One (M7) General] mstrflsh:
It's here!

My HTC One arrived this morning at 9am by Royal Mail, could not be any more excited than I am right now. :laugh:

An interesting set of standard headphones in the box too.
[One (M7) General] riz157:
I keep looking out of my bedroom window whenever a car slows down outside my house or sounds like a transit van. Blooming sad eh.:p

My regular postman delivers around 9:30 mind you or will it be van delivery.
[One (M7) General] darrenjdoc:
Nope. Exactly the same :)
[One (M7) General] riz157:
Was it regular postman or van delivery?

---------- Post added at 09:13 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:11 AM ----------

My wife is laughing at me she knows I'm excited and just waiting for postie.
[One (M7) General] scut:
I cant wait any longer i am off to find my postman just hope he hasn't changed his route and i miss him.
[One (M7) General] h.han:
For those who bought it on contract from dialaphone, could you let me know if the phone is sim free unlocked despite that it came with contract?

Sorry I know this is p4u thread but dialaphone is sister company of p4u. Thanks a lot!!
[One (M7) General] mstrflsh:
A van, the regular postie doesn't arrive for a few hours!

p.s. This thing is LOUD.
[One (M7) General] craftycarper1:
DAP contract phones are ALMOST always unlocked/unbranded.
[One (M7) General] h.han:
Found a good deal yesterday on dialaphone, if it's unlocked, will preorder it today, may still get it sooner than other places since it shares the same company as p4u so it should despatch the phone fairly quickly.

I have to say I had huge doubt in p4u regarding their not so certain answers in the past few days, and the fact HTC officially announced the delay, but p4u in the end, has done a great job!!
[One (M7) General] riz157:
Ok I can stop waiting for my regular postman who should be delivering shortly. I'm might grab him as he delivers, give him the 3rd degree treatment. Find out what's happened to my delivery.
[One (M7) General] 3473:
Just got mine, feels AMAZING
[One (M7) General] Wh1techapel:
Go easy on him/her, the last thing you need is a restraining order against you. you'd never get any post!:p
[One (M7) General] scotcruz:
post some pics mate
[One (M7) General] l.m.prowse:
My mum just sent me a picture of mine :D she's just put it in the post to get to me tomorrow :D
[One (M7) General] nuthead53:
Spoke with P4U this morning and they told me that they're still awaiting confirmation from TMobile, before they can send it out...

TMobile upgrade, Silver (changed from black two days ago), pre ordered over 2 weeks ago.

I've had no communication from P4U and have had to phone up each time.
[One (M7) General] Tetsumi06:
Email in my spam folder. The black one delayed until April. But but but I switched to silver days ago! Phoned p4u and they confirmed that my order does say silver. Should get it probably tomorrow now :(

Sent from my Vipered Desire HD
[One (M7) General] jonstatt:
Special delivery can either come on a van OR the regular postie. It depends on the route and timming. As specials have to be delivered before 1pm, they cover routes where the postman is unlikely to deliver in time. They also handle the larger packages. A phone could come with either and I have had specials by van and postie where I live. In this case, it was a van.

The phone is beautifully crafted. The One X was a bad experience for me, and I never got into the look..and managed to get 6 (yes 6) faulty ones). I have run through the basic sanity tests checking of pixels, screen uniformity, correction function of Wifi, Bluetooth, GPS, NFC, speakers, mic, headset, compass, cameras and flash and even the infrared TV controller. Relief...so far so good.
[One (M7) General] RCJ89:
I am going to test all of this when mine gets delivered.
[One (M7) General] 3473:
Screen is amazing. Build feels and looks better than my brothers iPhone5
[One (M7) General] riz157:
Thanks man for that. What's call quality like?

---------- Post added at 10:05 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:04 AM ----------

Do you think Tmobile might deliberately delaying upgrade until they get them in stock?
[One (M7) General] onlinejobwork:
Any special free apps from market have you used to test the full functionality? Can you post link or name please?:good:
[One (M7) General] h.han:
Just ordered through dialaphone on Orange contract, was advised it would be delivered next Tuesday and I think we could trust p4u group including DAP on this so I am not worried at all. The worst case is to browse the forum and enjoy your guys' enjoyment while I wait and learn some reviews too!!

I am so happy for your guys and hope you all have a good unit so mine would be similar quality since they should come from the same patch.

---------- Post added at 10:14 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:11 AM ----------

contract phones from p4u should come sim free and unbranded so more likely it's because T-Mobile would not give the contract, not the phone themselves. P4u should already have the phone in stock IMHO.
[One (M7) General] ste1164:
Just to ley anyone know who wants to buy from a phones4u store. You cant, they wont sell them until the 29th. Both colours :(
[One (M7) General] RCJ89:
My phone has just arrived!!!
[One (M7) General] dahmmy:
i spoke to 1 store, they just said postponed

went online spoke to livechat -- they have stock delivery within 5 days so i ordered:)
[One (M7) General] rizzleboi:
Shouldn't be worried with dialaphone, i ordered with them, my phone is being delivered today :)
[One (M7) General] ste1164:
Where is the link to the livechat? :) I may just buy from them.
[One (M7) General] riz157:
Looks like I'm the only one left who is still waiting for delivery.

Was it postman or van man?
[One (M7) General] Phil750123:
live chat do just make you order online then they just check it gone through ok.

but if you stay on the p4u website for 5 mins a box pops up asking if you want to speak to someone
[One (M7) General] :
Nope I'm still waiting too :/
[One (M7) General] Steven_belfast:
No I am also still waiting,
[One (M7) General] ste1164:
Oh okay thanks :) ill see what the 2 stores who are ringing me back say, if they dont get any I cant imagine they will ill buy one online.
[One (M7) General] Wh1techapel:
Mine has arrived! I take back EVERYTHING I said about P4U.:laugh:
[One (M7) General] coolfreebies:
Anyone who got theirs today, will you be making an un-boxing video and review for youtube as i have to wait till next week for mine :(

Cheers :)

coolfreebies
[One (M7) General] jonstatt:
Voice call quality is very clear with good tonal range. However I heard a slight bit of rattle (and I mean very very slight) on the highest volume. Also I would like highest volume to be even louder. It is good enough, but certainly not as loud as an S3 with boost volume mode enabled.
[One (M7) General] djayyy:
Just say reading this thread in my car, waiting and hoping before I leave for work. Low and behold its here woohoo!
[One (M7) General] scotcruz:

[One (M7) General] RCJ89:
Royal mail van, i must say this is the earliest I have ever recieved a phone, previous earliest was 11.53am
[One (M7) General] scut:
found postman got phone with beats and flip case on upgrade on vodafone order placed Monday cool:Dl.charging fully before i use it.This is my last post here will now find posts for faulty htc one.`:laugh:

p.s

big thx to p4u
[One (M7) General] happysteveo:
How long does it say you should charge before first use?
[One (M7) General] gsusx:
im at work today so doubt ill get it today, but i feel a bit emotional for all you guys.

it's been a tough couple of weeks for us all, we've been through the wringer, between p4u htc and this forums there's been some highs and some lows. Some laughter and some tears, some people talking about galaxy s4 and some even daring to mention apple phones in a thread, all in all, well, it's been emotional.....

And now it seems all has come good, genuinely chuffed so many of you got your phones !!!!

Enjoy chaps, lets hope the battery life isn't as bad as we all fear :)
[One (M7) General] Wh1techapel:
You make it sound like we've climbed Everest. :p
[One (M7) General] gsusx:
to be fair my post is laced in sarcasm
[One (M7) General] jonstatt:
Phones 4 U have changed the date of the BLACK one only to 2nd April. Silver remains 15th of March.
[One (M7) General] abhs89:
Still haven't received a email confirmation :( placed the order on the 3rd March
[One (M7) General] riz157:
I hope that's not for those who have already preorderd.
[One (M7) General] jonstatt:
Unfortunately no way to know other than calling them up regarding that.

Here is the SIM free page for Black

http://www.phones4u.co.uk/shop/shop_justphones_details.asp?ItemKey=663759
[One (M7) General] arknailed7754:
Yeah I'm black also. It still shows 15/03
[One (M7) General] kalo88:
Hopefully it isn't for pre-orders, if someone orders today that's hopefully the date they're giving as they've already allocated x amount of devices to current pre-orders.

Lets hope that's how it works at least!
[One (M7) General] craftycarper1:
Maybe, come Thursday, all the "jumpers" will pre order the S4 and cancel their One pre orders, freeing up more of the HTC devices for us poor souls that have been waiting since the 19th Feb :D
[One (M7) General] riz157:
I'm ok just spoke to p4u that's for new orders. Not convinced p4u will be getting them on the 15th though.

Mind you they do normally get there stock before others so if anyone isot will be p4u
[One (M7) General] arrosev:
yeah i emailed them a couple of days ago and got the exact same reply today

"Thank you for your recent email regarding the shipping date of the HTC One if ordered as a SIM free purchase.

I can confirm on further investigate that we are still expecting the delivery date on HTC One orders to be the 15th March 2013 as advertised on our website, but I would need to make you aware that our handsets are requested to be sent out with next day delivery however, once dispatched the courier can take up 5 working days to deliver the goods."
[One (M7) General] arknailed7754:
No email saying my orders delayed wait and see I gues

Looks like ringing in the morning. If anyone else finds out on the black that they've present ordered let me know.cheers
[One (M7) General] dahmmy:
why the rush?

let the guinea pigs - i mean early adopters get their hands on it, whilst the sensible folks wait for reviews etc...a week or two waiting can save you a lot more in remorse
[One (M7) General] craftycarper1:
Live chat with P4U just now........
[One (M7) General] jonstatt:
Hmm..so why did they only change the date of the black one and not the silver?!
[One (M7) General] rizzleboi:
I personally don't trust most sales people as they sometime have no idea what they are talking about and just say the first thing that pops into their head. Hopefully my upgrade still arrives on the 15th
[One (M7) General] Palla71:
Are they kidding??? :cyclops:
[One (M7) General] rizzleboi:
Sensible people? My only concern with this phone was with battery life which has already been proven to be good. The build quality, sense (I'm not a fan of any other OEM launcher), the smaller screen (actually would have preferred 4.5) is everything I want from a phone. I don't care about the camera quality much a I never use it, however I am looking forward to creating some interesting shots with Zoe. Am I not sensible upgrading my desire hd to this?
[One (M7) General] craftycarper1:
Maybe as Ali G once said...."is it 'cos i is Black?"
[One (M7) General] daleski75:
Thats just to cover themselves for any delays due to weather or royalmail etc but normally they are delivered next working day.
[One (M7) General] abhs89:
Just ignore. Maybe they will go away.
[One (M7) General] RCJ89:

[One (M7) General] vdude_1:
How do you know your swappables have been activated?
[One (M7) General] abhs89:
Got a text from them stating new services have been activated and to restart my phone also got a text that BT wifi has been activated. Went onto my online account and also checked and found that its been switched to the new contract as well. :)

I havent got any tracking or email for my P4u T-mobile order so I rang and they give me tracking no but royal mail website said:

"Special Delivery™ Next Day items are first tracked when they have reached our mail centre. This may be late in the evening on the day the item was sent.

Information on your item is not yet available online"

What is means?? it's been sent out yesterday for Today's delivery? or they are just posted for tomorrow's delivery? is Royal mail special delivery comes Saturday?
[One (M7) General] trickyhenry:
Just got mine. Ordered 10th SIM free silver online.

Very nice, reminds me of bang and Olefsun design.

Nice to see I'm back on xda with a massive black options menu button at the bottom.

Camera on first trial in low indoor light is not amazing so don't expect miracles.

Screen, build - amazing.

Sense- not normally a fan. I usually install a launcher first thing I do. I actually quite like it so far. Early days though.

Speakers sound at least on par with iPhones. I'm sure they are better but not tried a head to head yet.

Very pleased.
[One (M7) General] abhs89:
That means it will come tomorrow. :)

Just have to wait a little longer :P
[One (M7) General] onlinejobwork:
R u 100% sure its tomorrow not today?
[One (M7) General] abhs89:
Well 99% as P4U may have paid for same day delivery but from previous experience with Royal Mail. I would say tomorrow.
[One (M7) General] dahmmy:
when you got to buy the sim free version a pop up opens for the chat. you still order online but the chat op stays online to check your order goes through..

Probably inundated with orders -

when i ordered this morning, i was told

"We do advise delivery is up to 5 working days as a maximum"

so anything above im kicking up a fuss:)
[One (M7) General] arknailed7754:
After being told by live chat I should have it today and its in the warehouse. Talked to account manager.orange etc approved it now so should be sent today. I said its a joke on live chat they don't know what they r on about
[One (M7) General] The Perfectionist:
I just called the stores in Liverpool, and received the same answer that they believe they will have the stock tomorrow. That means there is a possibility i could have my hands on HTC One tomorrow!!! Yeyyyy im gonna rape it to death :p
[One (M7) General] dahmmy:
being in Liverpool they must have got the ones that fell off some lorry as other P4u stores dont have a date:)
