Alright. Gave then a call sending out a bag for me. They said they won't get any stock till the 4th though. :(
[One (M7) General] djbenny1:
it will be the 3rd or 4th before you get the bag anyway so no problem.
[One (M7) General] Nekromantik:
I am not happy!

I re called them and got told what I was told by manager was wrong. They cannot change address even after one delivery and my delivery date is still 2nd but its showing as preparing for dispatch still.
[One (M7) General] jah:
As a test in Reading I tried P4U 3 and Vodafone. Only 3 and Vodafone had stock but only for contract purchase. CPW staff claimed no shop stock for a month.
[One (M7) General] riz157:
Got both silver and black.

Silver on the 15th and black arrived today both from p4u sim free online.

This is what I've noticed re design and finish only, info for those who might be considering swapping silver for black.

Silver looks better from the front, design really stands out.

I prefer black back finish, however it must be said its a fingerprint magnet. You will be constantly wiping it clean, if you can live with that then you will be ok. In fact its not easy to wipe fingerprints off the black, so be warned!!

Everything seems more flush with silver finish. Volume rocker, SIM card tray, this could be due to manufacturing inconsistencies.

I do prefer black but it will mark up easier and paint will come of easier too, just like my black One S. Defects will be easier to see on the black version. In fact Its already marked up out of the box, on the front bottom speaker near the edge and its silver underneath. It's very small only noticeable on very close inspection in a lit up room. Again this could be due to manufacturing issue, I had the same issue with my black iPhone 5 and One S.

The silver even though received on release date has no visible markings and fingerprints are not easily detected.

The only reason I prefer black is because I've owned too many white phones recently and black was released later. I might change my mind later.
[One (M7) General] jonny68:
Yes i can vouch for this, despite me telling the guy this morning I specifically wanted a SIM free phone he still tried to get me to sign up to some contract, i was already annoyed by then so just no thanks and walked out of the shop.

You must be loaded mate buying both silver and black, lucky you having both of these when I can't even manage to buy one in p4u
[One (M7) General] ThatNerdGuy:
Got my black this morning :) beautiful!
[One (M7) General] jutley:
Ok on inspecting my second replacement this morning properly I have found in the left corner by slim slot the screen has a slight lift well it's pretty bad didn't notice until the next day.Well this means a third replacement sorry not this time I have exchanged for a white s4 now shame because I really liked the phone but the quality issues at the moment are not good.
[One (M7) General] djbenny1:
Just got my black :D it's perfect

There are very very minor gaps top and bottom, I would say they are virtually unnoticeable, being black makes this even more true.

Delighted with my new one so got my screen protector fitted perfect with no bubbles (used 5 out of the 6 I bought to get it perfect) and Nillkin.

Very happy! Thanks dialaphone!
[One (M7) General] Xperia23:
This is what i'm worried about.
[One (M7) General] onlinejobwork:
Yes my silver one I got on 16th from p4u and got problem with slite gap on top and that's the reason screen not align on top and when i slide notification from top I feel like I'm moving finger over knife

I can't complain but I'm hooked on smartphones though.
[One (M7) General] jonny68:
Haha nice one, i like gadgets myself I can't even buy it in p4u as they won't sell it SIM free :(
[One (M7) General] ste1164:
No shops near me have had any deliveries :(
[One (M7) General] riz157:
Stores won't sell sim free until they have enough stock or not able to shift them on contract. Buy online man it's the best option.
[One (M7) General] jonny68:
I'm gonna have to by the looks of it, and on a budget though so it'll be hard trying to find the extra few quid it'll cost online, and maybe try and stay off the beer for one week lol
[One (M7) General] Jayr1987:
i live in florida USA, is it possible to buy htc one from p4u and use it in the US?
[One (M7) General] jonny68:
Short answer no I'm afraid, I'm from Dublin but am currently in England and see my previous posts I was unable to purchase a SIM free phone today.
[One (M7) General] albie256:
got a phone call from p4u about my upgrade on Wednesday,happy with the deal they offered for the htc one in silver, really hope it comes on Tuesday. Read some people have got there's next day but the lad quoted me up to 5 days for delivery. Do they send out a despatched/tracking email ??

Desperate to get my hands on it .
[One (M7) General] craftycarper1:
Quoting 5 days is their standard thing to cover any delays, you will get a dispatch email, and you may get a tracking number, not everyone got tracking numbers.
[One (M7) General] RyanDawson:
My Black One arrived yesterday and its almost perfect! The only difference is that the power button lies a little lower on this Black handset as opposed to the Silver handset i sent back, making it a bit harder to press every now and again, but i can live with that :P

I also noticed that when i had the Silver, the storage used up out of the box was about 8GB, but on the Black it was just under 7.3GB, quite weird tbh
[One (M7) General] @home:
I was quoted 5 days & got it next day & I haven't put it down since :o
[One (M7) General] Nekromantik:
Well I got to wait until Friday next week now.

Phone will arrive at family home on Wednesday as its not been shipped yet.
[One (M7) General] GeneralLee79:
Ordered mine on a new contract on Wednesday night and it was delivered Saturday morning. Probably would have been Friday had it not been good Friday.
[One (M7) General] g3rm3n:
When can we buy Htc one sim free in physical shop ?
[One (M7) General] albie256:
I'm guessing the Easter holidays haven't helped me either , fingers crossed for Tuesday as I'm off work that day .
[One (M7) General] djbenny1:
So happy with my new phone :D

Been using it all day, really incredible piece of tech!

Superb service from dial a phone too, don't think twice about ordering from them!
[One (M7) General] jonny68:
If you get lucky in a p4u you might get one I didn't.
[One (M7) General] kevinnugent:
I wonder why they don't sell the sim free ones internationally? They'd be making a killing right now, and we'd pay extra for delivery.
[One (M7) General] jah:
clove.co.uk seem to have a good reputation for international buyers. But I appreciate they wont have stock as early as P4U.
[One (M7) General] albie256:
Looks like p4u have no stock :crying:

Becky F says:

Thank you Mark. I'm so sorry due to popular demand of the item you have ordered, we have had a small delay on stock. Once we receive the relevant stock we will send you an email update to when your goods will be on their way. The estimated delivery date is the 04/04/2013, an email is sent once dispatched, no confirmation email is sent.
[One (M7) General] tobyman2:
yeah, they have said the same thing to me. When did you order yours? i ordered mine on the 28th, and contacted them of the 30th and they said mine had been dispatched! :p
[One (M7) General] arknailed7754:
-

Mines being sent tomorrow apparently
[One (M7) General] albie256:
Ordered mine lunch time on the 27th . I'll give it until this thursday then contact them again.
[One (M7) General] Nekromantik:
Ditto.

I will be super annoyed if they dont dispatch as I keep getting told every day my order is at the warehouse ready to be dispatched.

edit:

Just got my dispatch email.

Guess its going to be sent first thing in the morning!

tweet from p4u:

Hi .... We are anticipating that all stores will have stock of the HTC One from today. Thanks, Sam.
[One (M7) General] ste1164:
When I rang up some stores they said deliveries would be wednesday.
[One (M7) General] Dmands:
I've phoned 4 stores in Surrey, none have ever received any stock, and advised sometime in April but they were guessing.
[One (M7) General] Kukubski:
Hope you guys get your phones soon. I was one of the lucky ones to get the handset mid-March and it's been great!
[One (M7) General] dobknobby:
Got mine today, cant put it down, i did order mine from CPW though. . .
[One (M7) General] 5220:
did anyone order the phone last weekend? did you receive the confirmation of dispatch today?
[One (M7) General] Nekromantik:
I ordered mine last Thursday and it has been dispatched today.
[One (M7) General] 5220:
Thanks. which color did u order?
[One (M7) General] Nekromantik:
Black
[One (M7) General] @home:
I ordered mine on Tuesday & it came next day - Black
[One (M7) General] Nekromantik:
They could not have dispatched it before today as I placed my order at 5pm Thursday and then it was Bank Holiday Friday and Monday.
[One (M7) General] @home:
Tuesday 19th March ordered

Wednesday 20th March postman tries to deliver....

Thursday 21st March It was delivered next door & I got it in my hands
[One (M7) General] arknailed7754:
--

mine was arranged thursday, its been dispatched today. got tracking etc.

i will see it tomorrow. Ill be honest after the switch from silver to black and not having a phone for a few days,my excitements wained with this phone.
[One (M7) General] Nekromantik:
You got tracking?

I called them at 5.30 and they had no tracking number but said it has been dispatched.
[One (M7) General] arknailed7754:
--

Yeah i asked customer services for one, they got it for me,usually only happens when you ask for it,you should get a dispatch email but like last time,i got the email after the phone was delivered. I wouldnt worry mate you will see it tomorrow.
[One (M7) General] Nekromantik:
I asked for it 3 times now and all 3 times they said they dont have one. :S

Hopefully your right!
[One (M7) General] craftycarper1:
I wouldn't worry about your tracking number, loads of us never received tracking numbers and got the phones the next day after dispatch email was received, or even before the email was received in some cases. :laugh:
[One (M7) General] arknailed7754:
--

craftys right,i didnt the last time, just let it be and open your package tomorrow.
[One (M7) General] Nekromantik:
I wont be opening it tomorrow sadly.

They only send to billing address so had to be sent to parents place as I still not changed bank details! So they will post it Thursday and I will get it Friday.
[One (M7) General] craftycarper1:
Anybody got their Pioneer wireless speaker system yet?
[One (M7) General] Will.1:
Has anybody who ordered yesterday or the day before that already received their phone ? On their website it says : "Order today for delivery on 04/04" but i wonder if it's true.

My brother went to a store and apparently the lady told him the phone wasn't even pre-orderable. I wonder if they just don't want to sell the sim free versions...
[One (M7) General] @home:
Just had online chat with p4u & the black is in stock for immediate despatch - Sim Free
[One (M7) General] Will.1:
Thanks man, i'm guessing it must be the same for the Silver one then.

Can anyone else confirm ?
[One (M7) General] tonime:
+1000:good:
[One (M7) General] Nekromantik:
Mine was delivered today, just found out from parents.

Cant get it sent to me until tomorrow so guess I will have it Friday.
[One (M7) General] Retrocat:
just done the online chat thing - they haven't received the Silver batch so these are being delayed
[One (M7) General] @home:
Get the black - You wont regret it - It's gorgeous
[One (M7) General] Will.1:
Weird, just did it as well and the dude told me it was available for immediate dispatch... getting contradictory info here...

Yea black looks awesome as well, i'm just worried about scratches being seen more easily...
[One (M7) General] arknailed7754:
Mine arrived still not had dispatch email though!

Black is a nice colour..for sure
[One (M7) General] luqythewise:
for the guys that got it deliered next day what time did you order it?
[One (M7) General] albie256:
I ordered a silver last wednesday and still nothing , keep getting told they are waiting on stock which should arrive with them tomorrow.

God only knows what the truth is.
[One (M7) General] Nekromantik:
Its not surprising Silver is out of stock as they had stock for a while now but a lot of people been buying it.

If I find any gaps in my Black tomorrow I will walk into a store and exchange it for a silver.
[One (M7) General] paddylaz:
Phones4u has had the same 'order now for delivery on the 4th' message on their page for like the last week. Which is depressing because it's 11pm on the 3rd right now. Thought mine would be coming tomorrow (I ordered last Friday) but not sure now :(
[One (M7) General] luqythewise:
got told the same.....also i talked to the online chat guy at like 5ish today. told him i ordered at 2pm and asked about my order, he said its awaiting dispatch, and should definitely be sent out tonight

Daniel H says:

The handset is awaiting dispatch at the moment, once it is sent you will receive an email. Anything else I can do for you?

luqy says:

so it will be dispatched today?

Daniel H says:

All our dispatches go out in the evening so it will go out this evening.

luqy says:

ok thank you very much, have been talking with three different advisors and the just tell me the standard 48hr, and 3-5 working day run around. as you cn imagine it is a little frustrating to shell over near enough £500 and be told well you might get it tomorrow, the day after next week, all just depends

Daniel H says:

I can say it will be posted out tonight, we can only advise you the full timescale for delivery. Anything else I can do?
[One (M7) General] Will.1:
Called all the stores in London and the common narrative was that they were supposed to have received them a long time ago but haven't.

They told me they should hopefully get delivered on Friday.

Unfortunately for me I can't get it shipped at a work address which is a shame. Will have to try my luck at a store or get it here in France whenever and at a higher price ...
[One (M7) General] riz157:
You should have it today if dispatched yesterday. Standard 3-5 working days is just to cover them in case there is delay by your local sorting office since they have no control over that.
[One (M7) General] Nekromantik:
The cut off time for next day delivery for Phones4u is 1pm I think, So if you order after that then there is no guarantee that it will be sent same day as you placed the order.

Also people have got phones next day even though they did not get any email saying its been dispatched.
[One (M7) General] paddylaz:
All is forgiven Phones4u....knock on my door at 7am - answered it half dressed and with hair standing on end thinking it was going to be my bloody building caretaker with a complaint about something....but no. A shiny delivery man carrying a shinier package. My silver dire wolf slash phone has arrived.....woo!
[One (M7) General] Retrocat:
After being told yesterday that there was going to be a delay, I received a dispatch email and should receive the phone today!

They close at 8. You can call to try and get one put aside.

Wireless pioneer speaker just delivered

F**k me , just seen what they go for new. Might have to eBay it and put it towards the S4. Yes,I want both phones so I can see for myself how much nicer the ONE is.

As good as this speaker sounds,I'm putting mine on eBay. I just don't have any need for a water resistant wireless speaker. Cheapest I found one online was £204.99 upto £289.99 Selling mine for £150 + delivery if anyone wants it.
[One (M7) General] luqythewise:
Ordered one on Sunday the 31st and one on Wednesday the third, both showed up on the fourth. Both have the gaps but I think people are exaggerating how big these gaps are or rather how much of a problem they are.......I'll tell you now neither mine or my brothers is going back.

all in all pretty impressed with phones4u, they made good on there promise of delivery on the fourth even though one was ordered on the third.
[One (M7) General] craftycarper1:
Don't want to open a new thread, how are folks finding their free Pioneer speaker system?

Struggled to connect mine, got there in the end, but any ideas on apps to use it properly?

I eventually managed to connect and play music from my phone, but i seem to be able to play one track at a time.....am i missing something obvious, or do i not have it connected properly?....or do i not understand wireless streaming properly?:confused:
[One (M7) General] Matt:
Wait, why are you all getting this pioneer a3 sound system?? Not fair? I bought mine last week and didn't get one !

Free Pioneer Speaker

For us 200 lucky folk that had the Pioneer speaker arrive today, did you receive anything else?

The official Phones4U press release had this to say:

"The first 50 customers to pre-order the HTC One smartphone from the dedicated VIP pre-ordering zone at the Oxford Street store from today, as well as the first 200 customers to pre-orders online with Phones 4u from today, will receive a free Pioneer A3 XW-SMA3-K wireless sound system, with free UR Beats headphones and Double-Dip Flip case."

Headphones and a case too? Oh please let that happen! :D

Edit: I received the speaker system despite buying my HTC One Sim-Free for £459.95 Anyone else in the same boat? Could have sworn it was new contracts only....
[One (M7) General] onlinejobwork:

Ordered 5th April, received 6th, great service from p4u.
[One (M7) General] manook:
Same as me. Even got £9 cash back making mine £450 ;)

Decided to keep the speakers as they come in handy being rechargeable
[One (M7) General] mstrflsh:
Ooooh I missed out on that extra savvy step!

Phoned them today to say I'd still not received the headphones or case (I didn't even realise I'd get a free speaker!) so they're chasing it up by Wednesday :D

Just a pity I sent my HTC One back to be replaced on Friday, power button was recessed so far I could barely use it.
[One (M7) General] nevillejb75:
I got all 3. Put my speaker on eBay , got an email of someone with an offer straight away. Not sure what to do cause it is a well made bit if kit. Didn't realize it was water resistant with a rechargeable battery. I'd like to keep it but will probably hardly use it,and then it will be worthless once used.
[One (M7) General] craftycarper1:
I'm still in two minds what to do with mine as well, i've tried it out, connecting it was a pain in the arse, ended up using a LAN cable to set it up, then it worked via wireless.

Sound is great if you like base, The Specials, Bad Manners, Madness etc sound great pumping out of it. :D

I don't know if i'm doing something wrong, but streaming via the music app is quite limited, i can choose a playlist and set it playing, but can only skip tracks using the phone, not by using the included remote, all that does is turn the unit off or on, and adjust the volume.

No idea if there is a proper app that allows more control using the remote.:confused:

Range seems decent enough with it, i was controlling it in the front room whilst sitting on the Throne upstairs.:laugh:

And the fact it can be taken outside to be used whilst barbecuing or partying in the late summer night we might get in July, is good.
[One (M7) General] bigshape:
