I walked in to cpw yesterday too... just to enquiry when we can expect it... answer I get was 1st of july... quite ****e when no one is telling us anything
[G3 General] jbak98:
When I ordered his ordering system did say 1st July however on his internal news of the day website thing that is obviously sent around to all stores it definitely said 26th. We both read it and another colleague reckoned that should be right.

It obviously hasn't filtered down to their ordering system yet though and the guy I spoke to on the phone still reckoned 1st July as well. So we shall see.

I am hoping for a text message on Friday with a delivery time!
[G3 General] 557953:
I got one on order and they said available from 26th, I asked if it was going to arrive with them on 26th or to me on 26th and was told I would receive it. So fingers crossed there.

Also whats the deal on the Quick Circle cases, have looked on Ebay and see plenty for the F400 series but none specify the D855 I will get here in UK, I assume there is no differences but want to be sure before shelling out.
[G3 General] mcdevtingz:
Oh sweet just pre-ordered mine online from CPW

3 are offereing it on June 26th, maybe CPW will do the same also then?
[G3 General] ShiroEd:
I can't see us getting it from CPW this week. I'd LOVE it if we did as my girlfriend is working so that gives me some guilt free time to play with it!

Stock may be freed up to be distributed to the stores but they generally have to observe strict timings as to when they can release them to Joe Public.

Who. Knows. Though!
[G3 General] surfer1000:
Well I'm making sure my Thursday is free, just in case :)
[G3 General] sloseph:
I'm trying to convince myself that i'm not expecting to get it until the 1st but i know deep down i'm going to be checking my phone ever 4 minuets on Thursday to see if they contact me
[G3 General] sloseph:
just had an online chat with someone from CPW to see what they had to say and what i got back was this

[G3 General] Theguru1:
Tick Tock Tick - useful post ;0)
[G3 General] ShiroEd:
Just been told by CPW that they don't have them in their warehouse yet and it'll be next week before I see mine.
[G3 General] shingers5:
You obviously didn't understand what I meant and never had a G2. No uproar as it was a fact with G2 when screens were analysed. I'm going on past experience mate

We will get it I think Friday. I am going on previous pre orders with them and they always get stock early and have been guilty in past of shipping before release date. Don't listen to what is said too much as the info re June 26th is not common knowledge to everyone. My mate works for CPW
[G3 General] surfer1000:
Wow 26th it is http://www.theinquirer.net/inquirer/news/2351766/lg-g3-will-arrive-in-the-uk-on-26-june :laugh:
[G3 General] wase4711:
maybe the US release will be earlier as well!
[G3 General] misiokicio:
Is all over the google news... so we might get an email tomorrow!!
[G3 General] daleski75:
mobilephonesdirect just changed their date of delivery from 2 days to 7 days :(
[G3 General] shingers5:
never in doubt :D

---------- Post added at 09:20 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:16 PM ----------

that will be for the 2nd batch of pre orders as must have run out of stock. they fullfill early ones and set date for next batch. if you were one of the early ones then you should get yours

emails should be out tomorrow
[G3 General] daleski75:
Pre-ordered mine at the end of May so I should be in the first batch, pre-ordered one from three just now as well (this is my preferred network from EE) just in case and will cancel which ever one is left once one of them ships.
[G3 General] shingers5:
good move............ordered mine from CPW 12th of june..........think they had only just started taking pre order then
[G3 General] ShiroEd:
Me too. I'm getting mine delivered to my local store so that has kinda confused things inasmuch as they have previously prioritized new contract handsets over upgrade ones. Mines an upgrade so I hope it all goes well.
[G3 General] goofylad:
FFS HURRY UP CPW!!!!, surely if we were getting it on the 26th then they would have stock!, and they would be sent out tomorrow!.
[G3 General] shingers5:
seriously they will have stock and the email about delivery should received tomorrow evening, DPD should then text a little later with your one hour slot, i am gonna ring CPW to check tomorrow as stock should have arrived today for dispatch tomorrow
[G3 General] Theguru1:
Preordered from amazon .de still no eta GULP!!
[G3 General] goofylad:
hope so man.....!!!
[G3 General] maschenazi:
I just noticed that :crying:

I lost hope I'm going to have the phone before the weekend.

As you can see, my signature is ready, thou :)
[G3 General] jbak98:
I hope So :) However I bought it in store and they didn't ask for my email address! Guess I will have to wait for a text?
[G3 General] shingers5:
share the sig man :laugh::laugh:

nice

---------- Post added at 11:20 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:16 PM ----------

well when nexus 5 was released my mate who ordered online went and got from store so if you can i would pop down to store on thursday and you may be bale to pick it up seeing as you ordered from store
[G3 General] goofylad:
anyone thats got the phone from the CPW have you had your £100? yet?
[G3 General] shingers5:
if you ordered in store you get it paid to your debit card within 48 hrs but if online like me the chrque is sent out after the phone has been delivered, usually takre about 2 weeks after yiu receive phone

some guy posted a few days ago he got his cashback from store order
[G3 General] TheKrow:
Think I might be "some guy" :)

I upgraded in store, had £85 left on my contract so they just deposited £15 into my account!

Fingers crossed we get this phone on Thursday!!!
[G3 General] Mickhaz12:
They won't improve it. I've seen the international model and korean side by side. No difference with the brightness and I believe that's the model Uk are getting...
[G3 General] daleski75:
I have been told here that the 7 day delivery is for new orders and orders placed before that should be here tomorrow/friday.

When did you place your order?
[G3 General] maschenazi:
Ordered mine on 18 June
[G3 General] daleski75:
I reckon you should be ok I ordered mine on the 31st of May so hopefully you'll be in the same batch as mine i.e. first.
[G3 General] maschenazi:
Cheers.

Is not the end of the world even if is going to arrive next week. What can one do, but hope.
[G3 General] daleski75:
True :)
[G3 General] Super Chimp:
Yep I noticed that & was honestly expecting it to have a release date by now.
[G3 General] surfer1000:
CPW still have that 1st of July date up!, I bet their just sat on pallet loads of em
[G3 General] daleski75:
It's a race between mobilephonesdirect and three for me so which ever one gets delivered first wins... difference of £5 a month between them (EE 1000 mins, 1GB unlimited messages, Three 600mins unlimited data, unlimited sms)
[G3 General] shingers5:
Haha hahaha have a bit of patience man. They will have them and you will have it. I reckon Friday if all goes to plan. I've pre ordered from them before and they are not bad. If it's out tomorrow they will hook you up. I only want it this week as I'm off lol
[G3 General] ShiroEd:
I'm starting to think I should have gotten it delivered to my office instead of the local store. I wonder if it's up to the store in this case to contact me about a pick up time.
[G3 General] daleski75:
Just got this email from mobilephonesdirect looks like the delivery date was correct then.

Dear Customer,

Thank you for your recent order for the eagerly awaited LG G3.

Unfortunately we have received information from LG that our initial delivery which was scheduled for launch today has been delayed and we now expect delivery to our warehouse on the 1st July.

Therefore we expect to have your handset out for delivery to you on or around the 2nd July.

Please keep an eye on your order tracker and emails for confirmation of dispatch.

Whilst this delay is unfortunately outside of our control, we do appreciate how frustrating it is and would like to thank you in advance for you patience.

Many Thanks
[G3 General] maschenazi:
Got the same email.
[G3 General] daleski75:
Will see what happens with my 3 order and will take it from there.
[G3 General] ShiroEd:
It's SO true though eh?

If we tried to explain this to anyone who's 'normal' I think we'd struggle.

This is why I love XDA. I don't feel weird when The Hunger grips!!!
[G3 General] sloseph:
haha yeah i tried to talk to my misses about it last night, she didn't get it at all

it doesn't help that i'm sure my S3 knows its about to get replaced, yesterday the screen just straight up didn't work for about 10 minuets, then just decided to work again acting like nothing happened
[G3 General] jbak98:
Strange my S3 is behaving really weirdly as well, keeps going into Car Mode? Not even sure how to turn that on. It obviously knows its on the way out! Come on CPW send me a text!
[G3 General] anc1en7z:
Is the Three UK G3 release still tomorrow? mobilephonesdirect release has gone up, and amazon has gone to the 28th now.
[G3 General] daleski75:
I called 3 (about an order which did not go through but the second one did) and they said mine is/should be preparing for dispatch but until the email comes in confirming this it's hard to know.
[G3 General] surfer1000:
What text is this?, wasn't aware they text us, someone before just said a despatch email would be sent sort of at end of day if it's coming
[G3 General] Lennyuk:
I am told they already have the stock and that they still expect us to get the phones on the 26th, but we will get a SMS message confirming delivery on the day.

They still have the 26th listed as the delivery date on their website.

Other websites that are changing the date have done so, most likely, to control their pre-orders - they won't have access to enough handsets to supply all pre-orders for release date.
[G3 General] shingers5:
Yea that was me lol. Usually CPW emails confirming dispatch come late on so that's why I said that then on the day you get messages from DPD with 1hr slot. CPW email will have tracking number. CPW usually gets stock first in UK and that link in previous post they were mentioned as stockist on launch day not MPD
[G3 General] Beards:
I really am surprised no one has mentioned ordering from Clove Technology. I have my order with them which is for the G3 and a Free Wireless Charger worth £60. Delivery is set for 26 June.
[G3 General] shingers5:
Rang CPW and they have no stock and date is still set for 1st July so something is amiss here. I wonder if 3 UK date is accurate as how can they be the only ones with stock on launch day! I live in hope lol but from that call it's not looking likely. Stock due over weekend apparently as been delayed
[G3 General] Lennyuk:
They are not the only ones, Clove have stock too.

CPW never give accurate information about their stock levels, often they do have stock but they still tell you that they don't.
[G3 General] daleski75:
Lets hope clove and 3 deliver very soon or we'll all be waiting until the middle of next week now.
[G3 General] Lennyuk:
Why? Their date is set for tomorrow, EU (including UK) release date is set by LG as Friday, so even if its not tomorrow I would expect it on Friday.

But I am sure it will be tomorrow, but for the avoidance of doubt on here I am in the process of asking my Three contact if he knows of any unannounced delays.
[G3 General] daleski75:
Well that is what I meant i.e by Friday.
[G3 General] Beards:
Yes, I have just done the same with Clove.
[G3 General] Lennyuk:
I spoke with the owner of Clove yesterday, he said everything is set for the 26th.

I like knowing people :D
[G3 General] Protagoras:
Yeah, same here, my wife looks at me with that slightly worried slightly amused look that she also gives my daughter when she wants another piece of pudding after lunch. Oh well.
[G3 General] Lennyuk:
I have confirmation that Three have stock and they are shipping them to be in stores tomorrow and anyone who has pre-ordered should also get them tomorrow.
[G3 General] daleski75:
That is excellent news good job I got my pre-order in yesterday with 3 so hopefully should get mine tomorrow as well.
[G3 General] Beards:
I don't use Chris. Jon is better as he handles procurement.

Anyway, straight from Jon:-

Black & Gold still set for tomorrow

White at the end of July.
[G3 General] surfer1000:
Perhaps EE, don't want to start contracts until July, so CPW, are holding back :rolleyes:
[G3 General] Lennyuk:
yeah, Jon is very approachable most of the time.
[G3 General] ShiroEd:
White at the end of July?

My CPW order is for a white one and we're still on for July 1st delivery. I wonder if stock is getting apportioned according somewhat to colour.
[G3 General] Super Chimp:
If it has an EU release date how comes Amazon.de has none, or is this only the 16Gb model?
[G3 General] Lennyuk:
No idea on that one, it might be just for 16gb I guess.
[G3 General] surfer1000:
Well I've just ordered my wireless charger....coming tomorrow :D
[G3 General] daleski75:
Got a phone call from the 3 security team confirming my phone will be with me by tomorrow.
[G3 General] Lennyuk:
why did they call you? I have had no call, or did you request a call?
[G3 General] surfer1000:
Good news, and hope for the rest of us:fingers-crossed:
[G3 General] TheKrow:
Nice! Where did you order from? Can you link me?

Thanks :)
[G3 General] surfer1000:
It was amazon, I'm not getting the official one mind you, but i think a good one none the less and half the price,still want the link?
[G3 General] E_Goldstein:
I just hope the three store gets them in tomorrow my phone is sold n his having it friday haha
[G3 General] daleski75:
They called me because the first order did not go through due to my browser crashing and to confirm the second order went through fine and will be with me tomorrow.
[G3 General] Lennyuk:
ah ok good, I started to wonder if I should have had a call, but nothing went wrong with my order, I placed it over the phone at 9am on the 20th (i.e. the very first person to order the G3 from Three).
[G3 General] surfer1000:
I just cannot get over the idiot at Phones 4U that decided not to sell this unit, due to lack of demand! :eek:
[G3 General] Lennyuk:
Well P4U's main client is EE (EE Orange and Tmob) and EE are not stocking this phone either, that probably influenced P4U's decision.
[G3 General] surfer1000:
So strange, as like myself I think most people are going to be on 4g contracts now with this and EE still rule on this network

And don't forget LG are targeting sales of 10 million with this baby!
[G3 General] ShiroEd:
I have both of these and can say they're ace and WELL worth the money. WAY cheaper than the official one.

Amazon.de

Just checked with my Amazon.de account, it shows that they have 8 32G in stock, so does this mean our orders will be on their way.......
[G3 General] Protagoras:
You read that wrong. It's an amazon marketplace shop that has them in stock (hence the price that went up to 697.70 euros!). Still no expected date for the official Amazon store.
[G3 General] johnwx:
Damn
[G3 General] jhericurls:
Amazon.co.uk now have a release date of 4th July... happy independence day y'all
[G3 General] Theguru1:
Has anyone ask amazon.de when the release is there end?? I would but my German is terrible
[G3 General] daleski75:
All these reports of shipping dates getting pushed back make me want the confirmation of delivery email even more from 3 now.
[G3 General] Lennyuk:
Three already have the stock, you don't need confirmation, you will get a text tomorrow saying it is on its way.
[G3 General] daleski75:
Three state on their email that "We'll also email you to confirm when your order has been dispatched. Your contract won't start until we dispatch your device" so either/or it will still be nice to see that confirmation.
[G3 General] Protagoras:
I did (in English) and they replied they don't have a date yet (this was 4 or 5 days ago). They also said they didn't know if they could deliver outside Germany the pre-orders that went out before they blocked them. As you can see, it was not a very informative reply :rolleyes:
[G3 General] surfer1000:
What's the big deal in not delivering to England?....isn't that going against some law or something? Buggers
[G3 General] Lennyuk:
Ah is yours for a new contract? Mine is an upgrade so my contract won't start until sometime early July anyway for me. I am just expecting an sms tomorrow to confirm a delivery time.
[G3 General] daleski75:
Yup mine is a new contract.
[G3 General] surfer1000:
Well I've just spoke to CPW they told me they have 2500 units going out tonight to branches/customers :D
[G3 General] shingers5:
Which CPW mate as I was on earlier and told it 2 was set for 1st July. Maybe as I ordered a white one! What number did you ring mate? I'm gonna ring them again as that is conflicting Info
[G3 General] surfer1000:
It was my local store, his computer told him that this was new information "updated 10 mins ago" from head office, his PC is linked to the warehouse stock which he said they had 2500 going out tonight, all pre orders have been brought forward from 1st to 26th

I almost wet my pants :laugh:

I just received my Spigen Slim Armor metal slate case and the screen protectors

Spigen Slim Armor - metal slate

Spigen Screen Protector Steinheil

All I need now is the bloody phone.

Next week, damn you mobilephonesdirect :silly:
[G3 General] daleski75:
Nice case I have gone for the official circle case from dx-box for £12
[G3 General] maschenazi:
I like the idea of the circle case, but I hate flip cases in general. That flap would always be in my way:D
[G3 General] surfer1000:
Yeah I've always had screen protectors, but decided not to with my htc one with this so called gorilla glass, and to be honest it's never needed it, one quick wipe with glasses wipes and the screen looks like new, so again won't be bothering with G3
[G3 General] goofylad:
http://www.cnet.com/uk/news/tough-sell-lg-g3-snubbed-by-uk-outlets/

The LG G3 popped out of the LG cake last night with a dazzling screen, laser-sighting camera and all the high-end features you could ever need -- but as industry experts brand the G3 a "tough sell", it's been hit with a vote of no confidence from two major UK outlets.

The UK's largest phone network, EE, and Phones 4u, a high street phone retailer with over 600 stores, have confirmed to CNET they are not selling the new phone. Analyst Ben Wood of IHS suggests a crowded market is to blame: "The LG G3 goes head-to-head with other flagship devices such as HTC's One M8, Samsung's Galaxy S5 and Sony's Xperia Z2, which most retailers have already ranged.

"So it's no great surprise that the G3 is not currently selected by EE and Phones 4u, particularly as there is growing evidence that smartphone demand is weakening."

looks like if i want it, its carphoneware house, or the three network. not heading to vodaphone or o2 both networks are shocking in my area!
[G3 General] MISSDIVA:
Thanks for the heads up Goofy

Once again EE succeeds in cheesing me off.... :banghead:

I can only hope that they see sense and change their small minds

Its only my old flex plan which is keeping me with them.
[G3 General] daleski75:
http://www.amazon.de/gp/product/B00KKM2UZG/ref=noref?ie=UTF8&psc=1&s=ce-de

They ship to the UK and works out to be just under £498 with delivery.

Also www.mobilephonesdirect.co.uk are advertising theirs as the 3/32 version and I have asked them for clarification on this.
[G3 General] skally:
So the 3/32gb version is actually the same price in Germany as the 2/16gb in the UK? Thats awesome, going to sell my Note 3 I think.

I emailed LG UK about the 3/32gb version. The response was:
[G3 General] Super Chimp:
When I asked a retailer why we didn't get many 32GB model phones over in the UK the answer I got was the manufacturers seemed to think there was no demand for them over here.
[G3 General] Hendrickson:
Your best to just import one in from Korea, you know you'll get the 32GB storage and 3GB of ram and have it a good 3-4 weeks before the UK. And not the shafted with a 2GB ram 16GB version for the same price as the import.

You also get a bonus battery and stand/base battery charger thing. You don't get them outside of Korea. There is a good Korean G3 importing guide here, just make sure you get the model that matches 3's, vodafones 4G/ LTE which is the F400S or F400L
[G3 General] Super Chimp:
The thing that interests me is where do the manufacturers get the idea there is no demand for them if they never sell the higher capacity over here. Kind of a self fulfilling prophecy.
[G3 General] Hendrickson:
I think its more the retailers, they have better margins on selling the cheaper 2GB/16GB models priced like a 32gb/3gb one. They also decided themselves that "we" don't want 32GB internal storage or 3GB ram. "everyone" wants the cheaper model..bah
[G3 General] daleski75:
I emailed mobilephonesdirect about the G3 and if it is indeed the 32Gb model and this is what they said. (I also asked if they are locked to any network)

Good Afternoon

Thank you for your email

I can advise that the model with be 32gb however I am not able to advise on whether it will be locked to a network until the stock arrives with us.

Kind Regards

Aimee

Why not save a lot of hassle and just get it from amazon.de?

http://www.amazon.de/gp/product/B00K...&psc=1&s=ce-de
[G3 General] Super Chimp:
I looked at Amazon.de & there is no release date for the 32GB model.

Does anyone know what the total price would be after import tax in pounds? And which version would I need for o2 in the UK?

Hopefully it should be out at the same time as the UK.
[G3 General] daleski75:
The chances are it would work out a fair bit more expensive to get it earlier and the 1st of July isn't that long away really.
[G3 General] Guitarfreak26:
If the seller writes repair or gift on the packaging you might get away with it lol

Rumours of Galaxy S5 Prime to be released on June 12th

he Samsung Galaxy S5 Prime will have a 2.5GHz quad-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 805 processor, an Adreno 420 chipset and 3 GB of RAM. The internal storage will be of 32 GB.

If LG don't get their act together, could be looking at this (if true)
[G3 General] daleski75:
Only rumours though and until it comes out IF it does then the G3 is the best phone out there right now.

Also just a though the S5 was priced pretty high I wonder how much the 'prime' will end up costing?

I reckon £699.

---------- Post added at 07:32 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:30 AM ----------

I lost my nexus 5 so was waiting for the nexus 6 and was very disappointed to hear that news as well, why pay full price or more for GPE editions you may as well try and get the Oneplus One.
[G3 General] Kawaisa:
I'd probably bet my left nut this won't happen.

But whatever gives people hope I guess.
[G3 General] gsw5700:
Fed up with this, just want to buy a decent phone with 3gb! May look at buying G3 from amazon.de, need to look at import duty, warranty/return issues
[G3 General] daleski75:
With this one you can make calls etc without having to open it which is a god send.
[G3 General] anc1en7z:
Looking at the images of the one from DX-BOX, it seems that circle cover is for the Korean version, cut-out in the top for the tv ant.

Also notice the placement of the spring contacts on the different phones Korean & international
