I will be getting the Quick Circle case for sure.

At the moment I have a Spigen case to review for Land of Droid too, just waiting on the phone...

As for screen protectors, I can't understand why people ruin these devices with them (especially the cheap ones!) the screen is probably the strongest part of the design, least likely to be damaged. Using a screen protector just cheapens the look, feel and usability.
[G3 General] anc1en7z:
You looked at the tempered glass ones?
[G3 General] surfer1000:
This quick circle case cover, do we remove the phones original back cover to fit this or does it just go over it, as I've seen on youtube?
[G3 General] daleski75:
It replaces the original back cover.
[G3 General] surfer1000:
I think then it's gonna mark pretty quick just being thin plastic
[G3 General] Lennyuk:
aye I have, but these tend to carry a bigger price tag so I didn't intend for them to be included in my comment.
[G3 General] daleski75:
I think all cases will have that cut out from what I have heard and the circle case from DX-BOX (ordered from hong kong) specifically states it has wireless charging as it has 4 pins rather than 2 which is in the Korean version.
[G3 General] anc1en7z:
Both the Korean & International version have 4 pins, 2 for NFC, 2 for Qi charging. Take a look at the placement of the spring contacts on the korean G3, they're closer together than the international version.
[G3 General] daleski75:
Well spotted might have to cancel my order then and wait for the UK version to come out.
[G3 General] ShiroEd:
Well if this is happening (not doubting you btw) then I'll be a very happy bunny. My pre-order is getting delivered to my local store so I'll be keeping one eye on my phone all day tomorrow!!!
[G3 General] surfer1000:
I absolutely hate store collections, why do they insist on getting it out and showing you it working?....geez the first pair of mitts on any of my new tech I like to be mine, not some oiks! :mad:
[G3 General] ShiroEd:
Let's see them try that with me! :cool:
[G3 General] Protagoras:
In this case the first pair of mitts are probably the ones from the the underpaid and (almost surely) underage worker in a Korean factory. Sorry to disapoint :D
[G3 General] sloseph:
i've gone store collection too i'll be jumping any time it goes off

i went for collect in store because i don't trust the post/couriers, they never seem to be able to find my house, there was no way i was trusting them not to mess up delivering my pretty new phone

that being said if the store even look like they're about to try and open the box for me i'm going to smash up
[G3 General] ShiroEd:
Which colour have you gone for? Mine is white (first white phone) and I just hope that CPW doesn't have any stock biasing towards one colour or another...
[G3 General] surfer1000:
Erm that's a point...when he told me they had 2500 ready to go, he didn't mention any colour! Duh
[G3 General] shingers5:
well on the phone they must be sworn to secrecy mate as they are adamant they have no stock and nothing is going out tonight. she was quite rude about it as well. i even asked about other colours as i oerdered the white and she said that they had absolutely no stock in there warehouse at all. so unless your being told lies something is amiss on the phone/online pre orders

can someone else ring up to check just to see what they say
[G3 General] surfer1000:
Have you not tried calling your local shop, get the no from the main web site, and just ask them when they are getting the phone in, if they tell you different then say why has my mate been told that the Ellesmere Port Coliseum branch has said they are getting them tomorrow and have 2500 sat in the warehouse!

---------- Post added at 04:11 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:03 PM ----------

I will phone head office now, but they don't speak the queens English down there, but I'll give it a go!

---------- Post added at 04:12 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:11 PM ----------

It's engaged!:rolleyes:
[G3 General] sloseph:
I've taken the black, my first and last white phone was my HTC Desire, i wasn't keen on the colour to start with, after 2 years i was sick of looking at it (that and the low storage message)

i'll try and ring my local branch and see if i can get any information out of them about when it's due
[G3 General] surfer1000:
I expect a lot of thanks, if this works out right :D
[G3 General] shingers5:
nice try i phone the 0870 customer service number and they are rude man. ridiculous
[G3 General] surfer1000:
I'm on the phone now to them, ok there useless, customer services aren't on the same system as sales, so can only go off the date that's on the web site, and now im gonna get a survey on his helpfulness via text!
[G3 General] Lennyuk:
I am being told that Amazon UK have set the 04 July as their date now, but this might just be due to batching to control demand.
[G3 General] shingers5:
told you man lol

something is definitely up as the sales line 0800 number is busy lol. was gonna ask sales if they had any in stock to buy
[G3 General] surfer1000:
I also got the impression that the warehouse is in a different location to where you phone.
[G3 General] shingers5:
they can check the warehouse stock bud as thats where everything comes from. they are saying that there isnt any at all in warehouse period
[G3 General] Lennyuk:
I have seen photographic proof that Three have stock (not that I doubted it anyway) - sorry I cannot pass the image on.
[G3 General] surfer1000:
Apparently despatch confirmation with tracking details can come through at any time of the day :p

---------- Post added at 04:54 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:53 PM ----------

Pmsl, quality again :D

---------- Post added at 04:59 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:54 PM ----------

So Lenny your gonna be happy tomorrow then
[G3 General] Lennyuk:
either that or I will cry when it doesn't turn up!

And there is always that thing "it can arrive any time between 8am and 6pm", so I might be waiting all day for it.
[G3 General] surfer1000:
At least with CPW we get an hour window :p
[G3 General] qwerty1q:
Called Three today, delivery still tomorrow between 8-6 although I haven't got any confirmation on the paper or email. Their website also says the same
[G3 General] Lennyuk:
Three used to use DPD and we got an hour window, now they don't :(

But I have it shipping to my office anyway.
[G3 General] surfer1000:
Yeah same could be said for Amazon......now they use "amazon logistics" and delivery is pure crap! 8am-9pm

---------- Post added at 05:08 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:06 PM ----------

See Shingers, if 3 have got them I'm sure CPW have!
[G3 General] shingers5:
judging by previous pre orders and recent orders off them you get a dispatch email about 7pm then DPD text you on the day with your 1hr window slot. somtimes you dont even get a dispatch email lol and DPD turns up

---------- Post added at 05:11 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:10 PM ----------

mate i have no doubt CPW have its just not common knowledge and sometimes they advise them not to say. its happened before. i just wanted to know when it was being delivered so i can be home to make sure its received lol
[G3 General] surfer1000:
I'll let you know when I get my email then, around 7pm :laugh:
[G3 General] shingers5:
Lol I like it
[G3 General] krisbi:
Does anyone know what the circle snap cover is? My understanding is that it has no back cover?
[G3 General] shingers5:
well told you guys as carphone warehouse now says in stock for friday delivery

whoop whoop
[G3 General] orbital247:
Yeeeeeeeessssssss!
[G3 General] misiokicio:
Good news! just checked it myself too! so it might be actually dispatched tomorrow for Friday delivery,,, so no dpd email tonite:(
[G3 General] shingers5:
CPW tell loads a fibs lol.............bet you they were told not to say anything to customers. i just found it strange shop confirmed stock and online or phone said none. looks like friday for us all but who knows asome could still make it tomorrow. here's hoping lol :laugh:
[G3 General] surfer1000:
They have just called me and left a message on my answer phone that it's not coming out until 1st for delivery 2nd!
[G3 General] jbak98:
Just spoke to a nice girl at CPW and my order is in the "picking" stage apparently and she expected me to receive a text in the morning from DPD with tracking number and time! I highly doubt it but we shall see! I didn't mention it was the G3.
[G3 General] surfer1000:
What f***ers, phoned em back and they have changed things there end now for delivery tomorrow although it's "up to the warehouse" if they get it out......my bloods boiling right now:(
[G3 General] shingers5:
you just never know bud ...........might get confirmation email later on still hahahahaha.............remember guy said store info said pre orders were going out tonight so he has been bang on so far!

---------- Post added at 06:43 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:39 PM ----------

[G3 General] surfer1000:
Yeah I think we're gonna have to surcome to a Friday delivery :(
[G3 General] shingers5:
they are clueless seriously...........i still have a feeling some people are gonna get this tomorrow. have no confidence in the info they have given me at all!!!!!! funny how preorders are all done and finalised in advance but we missed the 5pm cut off lol. funny these lol.................
[G3 General] surfer1000:
Oh yeah, there will be peeps getting this tomorrow from them! See my local branch was spot on :)
[G3 General] shingers5:
the branches normally are mate............same happened with nexus 5 with release date and price. they had it at £299 preorder and he got one for that in store while online had changed to £329.........they still cant explain how it happened lol

will keep an eye on thread to see if anyone gets a dispatch email or if they just get a DPD text in morning lol
[G3 General] surfer1000:
Gonna have my wireless charger tomorrow, with nothing to put on it :banghead:
[G3 General] jutley:

I did manage to nab a good deal for the gold one £21pm month no upfront cost and £220 cashback by redemption and £30 quidco delivery in the next day or 2. a The deal works out about £12 a month with all the cashback not inc the quidco.
[G3 General] surfer1000:
Nobody had any emails from them yet then?
[G3 General] shingers5:
great deal man..................feel like i should have waited now lol. these new deals are very good
[G3 General] ShiroEd:
I've just received a 'Click and Collect Order Number' email from CPW 1 minute ago!
[G3 General] omercance:
Hello guys, should I buy 3 GB RAM versiyon instead of 2 GB Ram, thanks!
[G3 General] shingers5:
nope nothing here mate
[G3 General] ShiroEd:
" We will contact you by email once your order has been processed.

Orders processed successfully will be delivered to your selected Carphone Warehouse store within 3 working days* of receiving your dispatch email."

Ooookaaaayyyyy.....
[G3 General] shingers5:
most pre orders are all processed when placed and they just ship the phone out once released. seems like your is now being processed so that means credit check and all!
[G3 General] ShiroEd:
It's an upgrade. My order was 'successfully processed' on July 16th (day after my order).

The email is a Click and Collect confirmation. It's a bit confusing as to what's it's actually telling me though.
[G3 General] misiokicio:
just been on the phone with CPW, ordered has been processed but for the delivery on Friday! my brother is the same, Friday delivery
[G3 General] shingers5:
thanks for the update mate ............. guess we are all resigned to friday delivery for the phone.
[G3 General] jutley:
I think it was a misprice on hotukdeals but it looks like we are getting them they waiting for stock now it's £189 upfront for £21pm and no cashback.
[G3 General] shingers5:
that sucks man..............some guy on hot uk deals did say they told him it was a mistake when he rang up. must have been true
[G3 General] sloseph:
Looks like I'm spending the rest of my night checking my inbox then
[G3 General] ShiroEd:
I'm more confused than I was BEFORE I got that email!!!

But at least there's movement!
[G3 General] jbak98:
I just a strange thing happen, on the phone to my wife and got cut off. Was in an area where I normally have great reception. Completely no signal which was strange so pulled out my new sim that I got from the CPW shop yesterday and put it in and it worked so seems like my contract has switched to the new tariff already. I didn't think that should happen until I receive the new phone? Maybe mine will arrive tomorrow?!
[G3 General] ASD007:
Yes if you can
[G3 General] shingers5:
hahahaha like i said nothing is set in stone with CPW so you never know. if its coming you will get DPD message in morning with 1hr slot. if you get that your on mate
[G3 General] sloseph:
I see your confusion and raise you mine, when I ordered in store I selected collect in store, I've just checked my email and I've got one from CPW, but it's telling me that dpd are going to deliver it to me tommorow
[G3 General] ShiroEd:
Tomorrow is gonna be a loooooooooong day!
[G3 General] shingers5:
so you defo got an email stating its coming tomorrow from CPW? lol plot thickens but thats just them all over
[G3 General] sloseph:
Yep 100% says it's being delivered on the 26th by dpd and I'll be able to track the van tomorrow
[G3 General] shingers5:

[G3 General] ShiroEd:
WOO HOOOOO!!!
[G3 General] shingers5:

Just spoke with Three. DPD email will be sent early tomorrow with delivery window.... We shall see !!
[G3 General] shingers5:
When did you order? I did June 12th over phone.
[G3 General] ShiroEd:
Nothing further to my Click and Collect confirmation. It was just a general WOO HOO.

I'll be popping in to the store on my way to work in the morning email or no!
[G3 General] sloseph:
Just checked and I put my order in on the 13th of June
[G3 General] misiokicio:
16th of June was mine,,,
[G3 General] shingers5:
In store? Did mine over the phone which works same as online orders.
[G3 General] anc1en7z:
Exciting :D
[G3 General] redegan82:
I put my order on on 16th for the vodafone 5gb data deal £35 a month with free case and £100 cashback phone cost me £29.99 so there in theory giving me £70 cashback. I have had no email to say it will be delivered tomorrow or friday but got my fingers crossed lol
[G3 General] jbak98:
Sorry buddy I ordered yesterday in a store.

I was all ready to wait for the amazon.de 32GB version but got cold feet when I realised a 4G tariff with the amount of data I wanted was going to be about the same cost without the phone so I decided to go on contract. With the £100 cashback it made sense.
[G3 General] surfer1000:
My order was 16th aswell, I'm gutted I'm not getting this tomorrow
[G3 General] shingers5:
Looks like in store orders get prioritised over online and phone. This is where I will find out that my sim has been activated for over 2 weeks and the cash back is to cover it

---------- Post added at 09:25 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:48 PM ----------

I've just an email stating this

'Thank you for ordering from The Carphone Warehouse.

We've processed your order and we'll be dispatching it from our warehouse very soon. You'll be able to track your parcel on the morning of your delivery date using the link below'

It doesn't state date 26th or anything like that. Not sure what's going on. It also confirms the 2nd unit I bought as part of the deal not the G3. Madness continues people.
[G3 General] surfer1000:
Well I've still had nothing

---------- Post added at 09:30 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:29 PM ----------

Boy am I gonna be on the phone to these muppets 1st thing in morning
[G3 General] ShiroEd:
Just this second had a text saying:

"Order XXXXXXX has been dispatched to your chosen store. Please ensure you take the credit/debit card used to make payment."

SHA-WHEET!!!

Now I wonder if it'll be available for me at 9:30 am!!!

FYI. White G3 from CPW ordered on the 15th.

Followed swiftly by an email confirming dispatch from their warehouse.
[G3 General] surfer1000:
I've just phoned CPW and they have said my order has been closed down, which means it will be with me tomorrow!

Told them I haven't received any email, he said don't worry about that it will be with you tomorrow!
[G3 General] shingers5:
What number?
[G3 General] surfer1000:
Wow, just got my tracking info...I'm a happy bunny :D
[G3 General] ShiroEd:
Further updates:

I tracked my order with DPD and it says it has been delivered to the CPW store and signed for at 12:43 on Wednesday the 6th of November 2013.

I'm guessing that this is a bug...
[G3 General] redegan82:
just had this same email doesnt say delivery tomorrow but fingers are crossed
[G3 General] ShiroEd:
I got my tracking too but its all sorts of wrong.

Can you confirm yours is reporting something sensible?
[G3 General] sabret00the:
Preordered mine today from Carphone Warehouse, apparently I may get it tomorrow.
[G3 General] surfer1000:
It won't work for a few hours mate
[G3 General] daleski75:
Maybe they recycle tracking numbers it will probably be updated by tomorrow morning with the correct information.

---------- Post added at 09:56 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:55 PM ----------

mine says that now come on i cant bloody wait as got rid of z2 nearly a month ago as thought this was coming out earlier and had a £10 phone from argos with no camera or internet lol it feels like i have gone back in time lol
[G3 General] shingers5:
Well my number won't work as yet so I'm lost
[G3 General] surfer1000:
Blimey didn't the z2 only come out a month ago ? :)
[G3 General] redegan82:
came out couple of months back I had it about 3 weeks it was a good phone but the LG impressed me that much that I knew i had to have it lol i swap my phones quite often as bit of a gadget freak. hopefully this is a keeper well at least for a few months lol

now says on DPD website Your estimated delivery date is Thursday 26 June 2014
[G3 General] ShiroEd:
On this bombshell I'll bid all you lovely folks Goodnight! I hope everyone gets theirs tomorrow and look forward to hearing great things!
[G3 General] shingers5:
Same as me mate with phones. I've got loads here and swap and sell loads. Hated s5 so sold and note 3 sold too. Z2 didn't last the day as it's too big for a 5.2 inch device. Those bezels need trimming. Got my eye on Nokia 1520 and HTC one max as love them big lol.
[G3 General] TheKrow:
No email. No text.

:crying:
[G3 General] shingers5:
Well I got email and parcel collected from sender on DPD website. No delivery date on DPD website so not sure of delivery tomorrow. It all seems on course for tomorrow but we will see

update:

Off to bed now as just for CPW email for DPD confirming delivery 26th june. today has been a long day guys but hopefully we will all get there in the end................cheers guys
[G3 General] sabret00the:

[G3 General] Protagoras:
Just a little update for those who pre-ordered the 32GB on Amazon Germany. I sent a message specifically asking for the expected date, and this is the answer I just got. (bold emphasis is mine). No answer then, apart from "soon"... But the good news I guess is that they implicitely confirmed that they will deliver the phone in the UK.
