[One (M7) General] mouzam:
I received exactly the same email.
[One (M7) General] daleski75:
Me too, so we should be expecting the phones tomorrow then?

Email sent to me at 21:38pm last night.

Congratulations, your brand new mobile phone package will be despatched this evening by Royal Mail Special delivery, who will deliver the next working day to the following address:
[One (M7) General] craftycarper1:
Should be sometime this morning chief, what time does your parcel postie normally deliver, should be with him and not your normal postie.:good:
[One (M7) General] daleski75:
Will find out very soon as the mrs is at home and she'll be like... what the hell you have ordered a new phone??? LOL

If it's parcel force normally pre 9am but I am at work at a the moment so not much I can do now! (early bird got to work at 7.20am :o)
[One (M7) General] gallifreyangirl:
Wheni got that email Thursday got my phone Friday.
[One (M7) General] craftycarper1:
Ha ha, bunch of flowers to pick up on the way home as well then?
[One (M7) General] daleski75:
LOL with the amount of stuff I change she is well used to it by now, but flowers might help though :D
[One (M7) General] manook:
I ordered from p4u (think I may have been one of the first). Got it for £459.99 with free pioneer speaker system and £10 cash back. However, I have no brand loyalty so if there's a delay it means I can see what the gs4 is up to. Probably buy both and flog the speakers and what ever one I don't like for a profit :)
[One (M7) General] rizzleboi:
She sang...
[One (M7) General] happysteveo:
Just gone through dialaphone(sister company of phones4u), still has silver to deliver on 15/03, but black is 02/04. Identical to phones4u currently.
[One (M7) General] RCJ89:
I wouldnt hold my breathe, alot of sources have now said the whole uk is delayed.
[One (M7) General] happysteveo:
Similar trend to three as well.
[One (M7) General] Narom88:
Bloody annoying since my contract is going to be coming to an end inbetween the dates.
[One (M7) General] scut:
I your contract is up go for a SIM only 30day for£7 and wait virgin look the best at moment
[One (M7) General] craftycarper1:
Dunno about that, i got myself a Tesco one, 500mins 5000 texts and 1Gb data for a tenner a month while i'm waiting.
[One (M7) General] The Perfectionist:
so far Phones4u is the only one who is promising on time delivery for the silver One. But i smell something fishy.

I went to their sim-free page and saw this on the delivery section:

Delivery Date

Order today for delivery on 15/03

Please be aware that payment for your purchase may be taken before the item is dispatched

While never on the other sim-free pages has this special notice. Is Phones4u trying to be a smartass to take all the customers from amazon clove handtec and other retail stores and then inform the buyers that there will be delay and unfortunately they have charged you for the phone.
[One (M7) General] Wh1techapel:
I mentioned the following to P4U this morning...

"You're going to be the only retailer in the UK to get stock apparently."

To which he replied...

"thats certainly possible, we have some amazing ties with HTC so wouldnt be suprised"

</clutchingatstraws>
[One (M7) General] The Perfectionist:
how did you get it for 460 pounds? tot it is 490 pounds?
[One (M7) General] Scrowlerfly:
P4u were selling it for 460 for a week or so.... Then hiked up their price by £30...
[One (M7) General] RCJ89:
Right now I have just come off the phone to phones 4 u, asking whether it will be the 29th march or the 2nd april for my phone. The lady checked with her manager and came back saying if you ordered a black one it will be second of april if your odered silver then this friday the 15th. I explained all that was going on and she said she can assure you silver is this friday she also looked on my account and said especially as I was one of the first 50 to order the phone I should have it on firday but she advised 3-5 workings days for delivery. She said there is shortage problems from the manufacturer but that is the black model of the handset.

I still don't believe it but I will find out tomorrow night anyway, see if i get a email to say despatched.

---------- Post added at 09:51 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:48 AM ----------

I believe about the ties I mean afterall phones 4 u bond street and other phones 4 u i think in the uk did the launch of the one.
[One (M7) General] craftycarper1:
Just had the exact same conversation with one of the managers.......told me that there is a shortage on the black, and i can change my option to silver if i want without affecting my promotional offer of wireless speaker system and delivery should still be 15/03.:D

Still a waiting game now.:laugh:

Can always buy a black snap on case if the silver looks Sh**e:p
[One (M7) General] onlinejobwork:
What's your pice plan/tariff? is it PAYG or Contract/Upgrade? what freebies they offered?
[One (M7) General] RCJ89:
£460 or £490 are the sim free prices not contract or pay as you go.

---------- Post added at 10:06 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:05 AM ----------

As nice as the black looks, I can assure you the silver looks better :p
[One (M7) General] Wh1techapel:
I had originally ordered the black, but something just doesn't look right about it. I think it had something to do with the two shades of black on the front.

Silver does look classy.
[One (M7) General] arknailed7754:
Yeah trying silver on off chance also. She said they had confirmation. I'm still inclined to believe there's as much chance as goats taking over the world

If I really don't like I'll go in store and get s black on release.always a way
[One (M7) General] Wh1techapel:
I wouldn't rule this out, There's something about goats eyes that just aren't right. :crying:
[One (M7) General] onlinejobwork:
Dear users

Please post here if any of you got any Email or Text regarding order confirmation or delay from Phones4U
[One (M7) General] ste1164:
Well hopefully I get mine today. Still no tracking number :(
[One (M7) General] daleski75:
Mrs just sent me a message saying I got a parcel.... uh oh.... where's the nearest florist lol
[One (M7) General] brizzle7:
Arrived at 7.25am..
[One (M7) General] mouzam:
When did you made your order? And did you get a email with tracking number?
[One (M7) General] craftycarper1:
Gonna be a long day at work for you.......
[One (M7) General] daleski75:
Uh huh well I am only 5 miles from home so lets see if temptation gets to me and I go out for lunch for some reason which I cannot think of yet!
[One (M7) General] ste1164:
Did you get a tracking number for your phone?
[One (M7) General] alpha beta gaga:
or me. but i'm still confident that the wonderful uk postal service will deliver me goodies before 1pm today ;)
[One (M7) General] ste1164:
Im not seen as I have had no tracking number :/
[One (M7) General] alpha beta gaga:
relax. last time i ordered with p4u i got no tracking number either. still arrived next working day.
[One (M7) General] daleski75:
No tracking number or anything just that email stating it's being sent out next day by royal mail
[One (M7) General] alpha beta gaga:
exact same here
[One (M7) General] RyanDawson:
I didn't get a tracking number from P4U either, i had to talk with someone on their CS team who emailed the tracking number out to me once it was available. Sometimes they dont send automated tracking numbers, which is strange tbh. So don't worry guys :P
[One (M7) General] jmonfu:
No packages before 9am, gutted :( Have to pick it up from the post most prob. Another day of waiting :(
[One (M7) General] RyanDawson:
Gutted :l

Mine came on Saturday but i was at work til 6 and it only came at 12. Luckily someone was in to take the package for me.
[One (M7) General] surfer1000:
Just had my despatch confirmation timed at 8.29am today, no tracking though, it says despatching tonight!:(

Could this be from yesterday ?
[One (M7) General] alpha beta gaga:

[One (M7) General] RyanDawson:
I find that going through Live Chat is easier as you get straight through to the right person :P
[One (M7) General] daleski75:
Deciding if I want to go home lunch time and pick up the phone or just wait till I finish at 4.30pm.... decisions decisions
[One (M7) General] alpha beta gaga:
i got through to the right person twice now on that number and didn't have to register for live chat so works both ways it seems! :highfive:
[One (M7) General] RyanDawson:
Nice! :P
[One (M7) General] ste1164:
Mine arrived! :D
[One (M7) General] surfer1000:
My post don't get here until 12-2pm, I love getting special delivery's...makes the postman get his finger out of his arse
[One (M7) General] RustyWrightOne:
Well mine has just turned up. I order the Silver yesterday at 10:00 am. (only 24 hours from time of order).

Only problem now is it's at home with my wife who has just wrapped it up for my birthday on Saturday. It's going to be so hard waiting knowing it's in the house...
[One (M7) General] alpha beta gaga:
put your foot down man! :laugh:
[One (M7) General] RustyWrightOne:
I don't think that would go down too well. I need to think of an excuse as to why I need the phone now..... Hmmmm
[One (M7) General] RyanDawson:
Theres only one way from here man.

Break your current phone. How could she say no to that :cool:
[One (M7) General] djbenny1:
mine should arrive at some point, been tracking it on royal mail - but im in work until 5.... fml
[One (M7) General] mouzam:
Got it, ordered it yesterday around 2pm.
[One (M7) General] surfer1000:
Wow, my order was at 12.30, so there is hope for me today then! :)
[One (M7) General] Palla71:
Sh*t!

I ordered it last Thursday and still nothing... :(
[One (M7) General] surfer1000:
Did you order Black ? :rolleyes:
[One (M7) General] Kaichu:
I ordered mine the day after the unveiling and probs won't have mine until April 2nd, count yourself lucky :p
[One (M7) General] Palla71:
Silver, SIM-free

---------- Post added at 12:16 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:15 PM ----------

Well, yes: but seeing so many that ordered later then me and already got it... :mad:
[One (M7) General] RustyWrightOne:
Well Just a quick update. It's cost me a pair of shoes but I can have my ONE tonight when I get home from work. :laugh: Thank god i'm back with android and getting rid of my iPhone 5. What was I thinking going back to Apple :confused:
[One (M7) General] alpha beta gaga:
mine has arrived :) for those like me, i never got a tracking number in my dispatch email
[One (M7) General] weaselEST:
Does anybody know if there's anything available in P4U Brighton physical stores?
[One (M7) General] RyanDawson:
Bribery eh, I like it :D Good job.
[One (M7) General] surfer1000:
Very jealous:silly:
[One (M7) General] h.han:
OK, upgrade on Orange network seems a pain!

Had called Orange if they could see anything on my account, but nothing showed yet as of 11am today.

And p4u said the status was still pending transaction which means they were waiting for network's response.

If any wait, I will just upgrade through Orange which is even cheaper for me and get a sim free one. Then sell the Orange branded one...

Not pleased at all!!
[One (M7) General] alpha beta gaga:
on charge! this device is beautiful to look at. and hold. :cool:
[One (M7) General] jmonfu:
got mine delivered at 10:20am. Was not at home though. Have to pick it up tomorrow from the post office. Another day of wait. Jeez why don't they work in the afternoon!
[One (M7) General] Palla71:
My orders, SIlver SIM-free:

- ordered last Thursday, still awaiting it.

- ordered yesterday morning, got it this morning.

:eek:
[One (M7) General] m00moo:
Ordered mine yesterday around 6.30pm :( and I got a RMSD tracking number today from live chat. Seems mine will be dispatched today to be received tomorrow.
[One (M7) General] alpha beta gaga:
bummer. but as it was placed after last collection time yesterday, that would be right
[One (M7) General] m00moo:
Yeah the thing was, the sales rep I got yesterday on the phone was a right annoyance.... upon calling he asked for my details to enter into the upgrade eligibility checker. Name, address, number, DOB. Then I quoted the deal and he accepted and confirmed the deal, then he said could I confirm my name again, I did. Then he proceeded with so you are happy with your current network? "yes i am", "ok, please confirm your number". He basically did this all the way throughout the 30minutes. He asked for my name, address, number and DOB at least 6-7 times each :(
[One (M7) General] culturelol:
p4u = phones4u.co.uk? Do they ship out of the UK (to Denmark)
[One (M7) General] alpha beta gaga:
nope
[One (M7) General] Palla71:
1. Yes.

2. No. You could try http://myukmailbox.com/shopping.php
[One (M7) General] culturelol:
Hmm, have to wait until the middle of April if i want to get it here in Denmark. I have a british mate so i could try him. There's no indication on how many are in stock (without of contract). Are they available or have you only got yours because you ordered with a contract?

Cheers!
[One (M7) General] alpha beta gaga:
ordered my silver simfree saturday night. arrived this morning.
[One (M7) General] Palla71:
I ordered one Silver SIM-free yesterday morning and I received it this morning, so I really don't think they're having stock shortages on this version. :good:
[One (M7) General] surfer1000:
Well not getting mine today, roll on tomorrow :D

---------- Post added at 03:12 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:41 PM ----------

OMG it's just arrived via City Link!!!.....wow what a gorgeous phone!

Anybody know what the 2 sticky pads are for?
[One (M7) General] djbenny1:
got my hands on it - initial impressions:

1) before i even turned it on i noticed there is a very tiny gap between the front aluminium and the polycarbonate, its very small and doesnt bother me just now

2) again, before i turned it on, there are very tiny overhangs on the bottom corners as others have mentioned - these are slightly more annoying, but i dont think they will bother me either

3) wow its slippy! and thin!

4) htc folio case fitted - wow, what a piece of crap, its distorted and doesnt even fit snugly on all 4 corners at the same time, pressing one corner will make another pop out

again - glad ive ordered another case

5) htc official screen protectors - wow, these are even worse than the case. honestly, these are absolutely sh*t - pack of 2, tried putting one on, took it off and threw them both in the bin - these are absolute crap. trust me

6) ok its now switched on - loud startup sound!

7) very fast! zero lag, UI is nice - i setup my phone online last night so it automatically fills in some of my accounts - very nice feature.

8) blinkfeed is up and running - first impression,,, i really like it!

9) pull down notification bar, power save off? why is this in my notification bar? save power? NEVER! but i cant remove the notification it seems -_-

10) app drawer - not enough icons, change grid size... ahhhh - thats better

11) go onto XDA and tell them what i think

all in all, the phone seems great, design is fantastic, screen looks amazing, but id be lying if i said i wasnt a little disappointed by these minor quality issues!

something else, the speakers are incredible as everyone else has said

and in all honesty - i almost find it TOO thin. i was a bit "meh" about having to put a case on it, but now im glad as it is very thin and the material is quite slippy and a nice slim case will make it just right (nillkin!)
[One (M7) General] RCJ89:
Shame to hear so many having gaps on their devices
[One (M7) General] h.han:
Finally rectified the upgrade issue, it was because I used a discount code when signed my existing contract with Orange so Orange considered me "working for orange" so prevents me from upgrading through other company other than itself.

It makes no sense to me whatsoever, even if I work for Orange I should be able to choose freely where I upgrade, I did not expect Orange to apply the same discount to my new upgrade contract as if I were to upgrade through them directly. Although that would be awesome meaning I would get 40% off any line rental plus cash back from p4u, that's just not going to happen.

OK redone the upgrade again hopefully I will get the phone tomorrow or the day after, can't wait, you guys are killing me after every "I got it" "arrived at 11:30am" response.
[One (M7) General] Riyal:
Hi! What's this "htc folio case fitted"

is it the flip case?
[One (M7) General] daleski75:
My friends htc one looks perfect with zero issues (no gaps, no rough edges, no corners sticking out) so I am not going to settle for anything less.
[One (M7) General] surfer1000:
No gaps on my device, or overhangs, but I do have a greyish mark on the top left corner polycarbonate, sort of looks like a stress/fatigue mark!

Anybody got any idea about the 2 sticky pads enclosed ?
[One (M7) General] djbenny1:
yea its the flip case
[One (M7) General] compact_bijou:
NFC Tags ? Hold them up to the light. Can you see a coil in there?
[One (M7) General] Riyal:
Oh crap :( I should have purchased the hard shell. :( But reordering would only move my queue pre order back to the very last on the line.
[One (M7) General] surfer1000:
No, no coil, just like plasters with htc logo on them all over the place and have a crease/bend point 3/4 of the way up. No mention of what they are for anywhere
[One (M7) General] Palla71:
I think they're just stickers... :cool:
[One (M7) General] djbenny1:
dont know whether to exchange or not

1) i cant really be bothered having to wait

2) when i put cover on you cant see any of the things i mentioned

3) i have a feeling it is the kind of fatigue that will eventually happen to all devices anyway
[One (M7) General] eat1981:
Was your mates one from p4u or another supplier?
[One (M7) General] Riyal:
I just hope HTC would award me with a almost perfect device with all the wait I am doing here. :( Still waiting mine on the 29th and still going with the black one.
[One (M7) General] arknailed7754:
No issues on mine. Thankfully
[One (M7) General] surfer1000:
Even HTC don't know what there for!
[One (M7) General] Riyal:
They're made to be sticked on the chipped corners of your device like a band aid on a bubu :D
[One (M7) General] -josh-:
So excited finally got a dispatch email. Should receive it tomorrow hopefully with my free beats.

I hope the sky swapable is good quality as I have taken sports off my subscription never allowed to watch it anyway, my missus controls the remote in my house lol.

I am a bit worried about what I am hearing regarding build quality. I know phones4u told me that distance selling regulations do not apply which seems like bollocks to me.

Anyone know where we stand for phones ordered on the internet? I'm sure you have a 7 day cooling off period by law because we haven't seen the actual product until it arrives.
[One (M7) General] ant78:
The sky sports swapable is horrible!
[One (M7) General] -josh-:
It seemed OK quality in the YouTube video I saw (in this thread if I'm not mistaken).

What is it that's horrible? The connection? Does it constantly buffer?

I get 2 swapables what others are worth having? Isn't there a music streaming one?

If anyone has any experience with swapables lol sorry for going off topic
[One (M7) General] djbenny1:
ive read good things about deezer (the music one) - but yea apart from the one guy on here with sports swappable (i actually requested he make the video) ive heard nothing but bad things about it
[One (M7) General] h.han:
If yours is new contract or sim free, cooling period does apply. What p4u had said I believe was referring to purchase in shop which unfortunately you have no turning back.

Exactly how many days in the cooling period does vary, not sure about p4u policy on this.

Upgrade does not have cooling period.

In any case, faulty phone or defect will be dealt no problem.
[One (M7) General] m00moo:
what? when did you order and how did u get beats? because i ordered yesterday but been in talks with P4U since friday and they said the beats are out of stock now. What network etc did you go on?
[One (M7) General] nevillejb75:
I know its early day's but has anyone received their free wireless PIONEER speaker's yet. I've been told they can be sent to me anytime from the day I got my handset - or upto 28 day's after.

---------- Post added at 11:02 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:50 PM ----------

Originally it said on there web site "free speakers,case + beats for first 200 ORDERS" Then after that it said " free case + beats for ( I think > ) 200 orders and now it just says " free flipcase " so it was just while stocks last. Personally I prefer the HTC pair you get with it , I've given my beats to my kids.
[One (M7) General] tehwolf:
I am returning my sim free silver One to P4U - if you buy online then the distance selling regulations definitely do apply...

you can return contract or PAYG/sim free, see support.phones4u.co.uk/pe/action/km/viewelement?id=10100262&channelID=1&portalPageId=1002

i foolishly thought that after three years of owning different nexus devices that i could move to a different flavour of android...i couldn't :) too much irritating stuff (the hardware was lovely though.. definitely nicer than my N4).
[One (M7) General] madindehead:
I just got my despatch email. Should be arriving tomorrow by Special Delivery. I'm kinda worried know though, hearing a lot about bad build quality...

Will give it a few days of good testing before tweaking anything for sure! Hope it arrives early in the morning too!
[One (M7) General] horsetastic:
When did you order?
[One (M7) General] madindehead:
Last Friday (15th)
[One (M7) General] horsetastic:
**** that's amazing! I want mine NOW!
[One (M7) General] UnrealEgg:
Just got an email saying my phone has been dispatched. Good news is it's a Black version, can't wait :D
[One (M7) General] madindehead:
Yeah, same with mine. Had to be the black one! Looks awesome! Can't wait for it to arrive!
[One (M7) General] -josh-:
I pre ordered with an upgrade it was a while ago don't know when exactly, I didn't receive it on the 15th because my upgrade wasn't until the 18th (there was a lot of confusion about this and I sold my s3 early thanks to phones4u customer services, which was annoying as I have been without a phone for a week).

But the salesman said I get the beats when I placed the order, I checked with them and they said if he said it at the point of sale then I will get them.

Edit: can anyone comment on if the sky swapable is usable over WiFi or does it require the network connection for security as I can imagine it will.
[One (M7) General] HavoK11:
Let us know when it arrives I hope vodafone gets some soon!
[One (M7) General] brainimpact:
on swappable's page if you click use now for certain swappable it will only allow you to launch it over their network, but once you choose to use sky sports swappable just bookmark the page where it takes you to where you pick and start channels from, then you can play over Wifi by bypassing the network requirement to launch sky sports swappable.

It does not use Your data allowance Playing over cell network any way, data it uses to stream is given free &included in the swappable.

The quality varies by channel and network strength I've noticed some are poor sometimes but I've never experience stopping to buffer.
[One (M7) General] surfer1000:
I'm waiting for the network Orange to connect me!

Phones 4U say it can take 48hrs, first time I've had a phone that hasn't auto registered on network:eek:
[One (M7) General] craftycarper1:
Same here, mine took over 48hrs!
[One (M7) General] arknailed7754:
You got a black one? Do they have them in now?
[One (M7) General] onlinejobwork:
I request everyone to wait for HTC one little longer as 1st batch got some defect in design as my one called 'GAP' one of my friend working at p4u suggest to wait for at least 2 week or more as he got lots of people coming into store everyday to get their replacement but unfortunately there is no stock in store, hope the one you got is flawless! Best of luck :thumbup:
