I ordered with HTC on 12th around 5:30pm, so hoping that I get it soon....

I actually ordered on Amazon too a lot earlier in the day, but have cancelled since as the price was much better at HTC.

Don't really feel like paying £57 more and going to the back of the queue though.

Still if people cancel with HTC/DR then it should bump those of us left up the queue. :D
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] exocetdj:
Well from what we can gather, amazon will be banging em out all at once if they are guaranteeing delivery on the 6th lol. Don't think there's a queue with them.

They are obviously infinite in size compared to DR so should be able to achieve it providing HTC give them the phones lol.

I won't go into detail Alex but my patience is reserved for a broken leg and getting surgery sorted lol so DR and their games and robotic responses can #### off in my opinion but fair play if they actually do get the ten out this weekend haha! ��

Any shipping date from DR yet [MENTION=4106130]alexp999[/MENTION] BTW? Just curious as I bet they would start shipping as soon as I cancelled hahahahahah

I must admit I have been lucky moneywise I wouldn't normally fart about with orders like this but buying a Ferrari this afternoon :silly:
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] Stephen:
Just announced on twitter HTC UK
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] c4llum:
yeh i just posted this also - wish they sent it today!
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] exocetdj:
So we will definitely be getting it this week then! Guess they must be shipping out stock etc
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] exocetdj:
Slight off topic but Mclaren f1 are doing the same hahaha! Guess that tweet by HTC is general pratting about

More hype building from HTC lol. Guess their sense of humor keeps em going with all their angry customers!
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] c4llum:
lots of companies doing it - they're all joining in with trending Star Wars Day hashtags... doesnt necessarily mean anything from htc but hopefully we're nearly there!
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] exocetdj:
Lol true.

Well DR Have been more like daft Vader than Darth Vader with this release!

(See what I did there? Someone took my head banging wall away so I have resorted to corny jokes Muahaha)
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] Stephen:
Actually I am not sure if it is an announcement, or something to do with star wars

Why is it Star Wars Day?

May 4 is the 124th day of the year (125th in leap years). There are 241 days remaining. May 4 is often known as "Star Wars Day". It is jokingly said: "May the 4th be with you", in reference to the popular phrase in Star Wars: "May the Force be with you."
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] exocetdj:
Yeah after second thought I totally agree lol. Doesn't help with this "early May shipping" policy thigh lol. Great Way to manage people's expectations
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] fishluke:
Many people have said Amazon state they are dispatching Thursday so I bet they have received stock before CPW group.
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] exocetdj:
Yep that's exactly what my Amazon account says also. Gonna be an interesting 48 hours lolol!
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] thebarsteward:
Amazon are now showing available 18th May....
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] Stephen:
Hmm should I write a vb script to contentiously press f5 on my amazon order page LOL
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] fishluke:
Same as CPW group, so I expect the current UK stock is now accounted for by current pre-orders.
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] exocetdj:
Send one my way hahaha

Nah I'm doing it all on the m9.

I still like this device (I know people hate it). It's very capable of doing what is needed but its time for something twice as good
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] thebarsteward:
I dont know the site actually says "This item will be released on May 18, 2016." so has the release been delayed?
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] Rage1ofakind:
A few have come in to CPW, most likely for pre orders. Gearing up for release :)
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] Stephen:
That is interesting. First block of orders like CPW must have been used. Mine is still showing Saturday delivery :D
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] exocetdj:
Just trying to contact them to see if my order is going to go the way of my case and be delayed .If I'm getting it Friday still I got there literally the last minute lol

I have more faith in Amazon though. I'm sure they would have got a large shipment of the grey

Also I pre-ordered on the HTC site on the 20th April so would have missed the first batch from them anyways lol
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] fishluke:
Take it you work there? Sounds promising.
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] exocetdj:
They are still saying Friday so pending any "delay emails" I must have just got there in time!

They couldn't give any idea regarding the case however.
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] packetlos:
Hmm interesting.. My mum has just messaged me to say a package for me has arrived at her house.

I cannot think of anything else I have ordered other than my 10 from htc shop on the 29th April... :fingers-crossed:
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] exocetdj:
If it's from the HTC UK site it will not be the ten.

If it is then massive kudos and congratulations and IL put some chilli sauce on my hat for tea of course hehehe;)

[MENTION=2338226]stephen c[/MENTION]ancelled my case order as they have no idea whatsoever what's going on with that. I may pick one up in brizzle next week or something if it's available

Going to be borderline heart attack mode over the next two days lolol!
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] mushtafa:
Three are still offering the 6th, but only have the 32gb silver at the moment
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] c4llum:
nice one! i was told i was one of the earlier orders so hopefully i'm in that batch!!
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] 10rdan:
I highly doubt it'll be the phone. I ordered through HTC on 13th April, credit card still not debited.
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] chrisnz1947:
Did you give your mother's address as the delivery address
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] packetlos:
Yes, although I could be in for a massive disappointment if it turns out to be something mundane!
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] gfreek:
Okay got fed up of waiting , cancelled my pre-order with HTC UK, if it is officially to be available by this Friday 6th then I should have got an email to confirm dispatch by now!

So I have now gone with plan B, went into my local ee store and bought the LG G5 for £399.00 on PAYG bargain! ;)

Granted it' has slightly inferior build quality to HTC 10 and the software will not be as clean but at least I gain dual lens camera and IR blaster.
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] Stephen:
[MENTION=4366077]exocetdj[/MENTION] Finally my HTC order is confirmed as canceled!!!!
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] exocetdj:
Did they take that long? It was instant for me, got the papal refund notification yday lol.

Just called Amazon for a 4th (!) Time and they are insisting blind we will have it this week on our orders
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] alexp999:
When the G5 release date moved on Amazon, it didn't update on my pre-order until 2am the day it was due to ship...
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] Stephen:
That is what I am thinking. We wont know until tomorrow if it is going to be late or not!

[MENTION=4366077]exocetdj[/MENTION] Hey I decided to change my order on Amazon and go for Expedited delivery and have it shipped to my work address on Friday :D
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] exocetdj:
Ha! Fair play.

Going on from what Alex said, this is true to the case order I cancelled.

I'm already thinking worse case and setting up a plan B with a friend abroad
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] alexp999:
What I don't get it why HTC UK still won't give a release date. I've been checking their twitter and it's all please stay tuned for updates.

Surely the retailers can't ship the handsets until they have the go ahead from HTC?
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] JazLiew:
Probably to avoid making customers a flase promise when things go south, and possibly pissing them off.
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] packetlos:
The hat is safe, it was something for my Dad. Thanks Mum!

Stand down guys, sorry for the confusion. :crying:
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] exocetdj:
Sorry to hear anyway mate. This launch has trialled a few people's patience to say the least
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] pnnorth:
I've just received another order confirmation email from CPW (originally ordered on 13th April for delivery to a store). In the past this has been a sign that things are moving to the delivery phase.
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] exocetdj:
Cpw 6 -> 18 may

Amazon 6 -> 18 may

Seems to be batches.

My pre-order said 6 may when I ordered yday.

Hope I have caught the last train on the first batch. Amazon customer services have been harassed enough today....

This is fun lol. Until my order gets put back of course :laugh:
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] Adam182:
Very.co.uk now -> 31st may
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] johnbrighton:
mobiles.co.uk is still 6th May
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] exocetdj:
Glad I have a plan b. More expensive but not by too much and cast iron guaranteed.

This is a horrible situation they have got themselves in (HTC)

HTC.com refund has cleared in just over a day via PayPal.
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] Adam182:
If you already have an account get someone who hasnt to make one and order it for you to get the 20% discount, comes in at £467.98 :)
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] exocetdj:
That's a damned good price but quite a wait. IL consider it if Amazon falls though. Just nothing at all has gone right for this launch lol!
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] Stephen:
[MENTION=4366077]exocetdj[/MENTION] Hey just had a complete EPIC FAIL moment!!! LOL. So like you I cancelled my order for the case. I got the cancellation email through and my first thought was, Amazon cancelled my order for the phone!!! Then a second later, I realised, Rrrrrright case not the phone! Phew :D
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] exocetdj:
Wuuuhahahahahaha I just had to recheck the app after u said that lolol! All good :laugh:
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] 10rdan:
No, it's got 820.

---------- Post added at 05:28 AM ---------- Previous post was at 05:18 AM ----------

If it's 20% off £570, listed price on HTC UK, that'll make it £342. Surely they won't sell it for that ?

Edit, my mistake. £456.
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] okgnew:
20% from 570 = 114.

570 - 114 = 456

How did you get 342?
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] Stephen:
Guys quick question, for those who have ordered off HTC's website, does it show your post code on your order details? On mine, it shoes the full address, but instead of showing post code, it just shows GB. Just wanted to check. Also what is pre-orders like with HTC? I pre-orded the nexus 6 from CPW and the 6P from GS. Both were rubbish. Ordered on day 1 of pre-order and people who were ordering day of release were getting them first. Is HTC any better?
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] alexp999:
It is digital river that are handling the UK orders for HTC's website. I've not preordered a handset through them to know how fast well get them though. I'd hope HTC will allocate a good amount of stock to digital river but then they also will want to keep places like cpw happy.

My order confirmation does show the postcode but it's on the same line as the city/town. On the line above GB.
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] Stephen:
Hmm that is odd, mine is only showing the city, not the post code. I assume they would not have accepted the order if the post code was not there.
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] emilrune:
Does the promo code work anymore? Can't get HTC10 to work on either Denmark (my country) or when trying the UK store.
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] gsw5700:
My order shows full address and postcode. Best contact HTC
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] alexp999:
Carbon grey no longer available to pre order on HTC's site. Code also not valid against the silver I tried.

Perhaps the code was just a launch day special?

Glad I jumped on the carbon grey with code now.
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] Stephen:
Hmm thats what I am thinking. I cant find the contact details on the UK site for the sales team. I con only see contact details for broken phone issues. I did contact them last night, but they couldn't help.
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] gavinfabl:
Did you type code in capitals? If not try again.
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] alexp999:
I just used autofill, it remembered the code from my order yesterday.

---------- Post added at 09:26 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:25 AM ----------

You want this:

[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] gavinfabl:
Code still works. Delete the autofill and type it.

Ive just used it.
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] Stephen:
All sorted. Few! I contacted HTC and it turned out that I had put the city into the post code field! They were able to make the change for me. The annoying thing is, when I click the link to edit my address details, it doesnt register my email address!
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] RCJ89:
How long does the code last?
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] rav101:
I don't think it's stated anywhere how long the code will be valid for. I guess that is a tactic for HTC to encourage people to pre-order with the code whilst they know its still working rather than risk it not being valid if they wait??
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] alexp999:
Anybody who got the promotional email with the code, does it say at the bottom of the email?
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] RCJ89:
Does anyone know what the delivery date is for the HTC10 from the htc website
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] Stephen:
BTW users who are wanting to order from CPW, The Gold and silver versions are only available sim free. Grey is upgrade and contract only!
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] RCJ89:
Thanks for the head up that is just rubbish, as the Black/grey is what I wanted as I dont want a phone with a white front.
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] Super Chimp:
Do HTC take the money now or when the phone is dispatched?
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] tbalden:
Look at eBay too. Taiwanese might be there still, inside eu

Sent from my HTC 10
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] fishluke:
Seems plausible since one user posted the CPW have started receiving stock. Still haven't received email notifications from e2save branch of CPW.
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] exocetdj:
Yeah I saw quite a few ten's there. some ship between 9-11 may so not too bad. Glad there's options lol!
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] gigeaky:
At least my screen protector arrived... :rolleyes:
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] spicypixel:
Mhmm still no update to "boxed shipment" on htc.com, guessing it's not going to arrive on the 6th.
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] tbalden:
Yeah, it's awkward. I don't know how many tw units their sell, but EU don't differ a bit in hardware, radio.

I wont be harsh on them yet, there were times when after on stock retail launch it took a month to get a desire z

It's always like that when any OEM launches a success product. It's just bad for the biggest fans who are so eager like us here... We want it right now of course. :) I'm so stupid, I even took the risk getting it with very small retailer/hard to do warranty retailer.

I trust HTC QC to much. Tho no issues so far (with any units luckily in the past decade)

A friend in Europe. More expensive but guaranteed as he's a top bloke.

I cannot help anyone out I'm afraid which sucks though.

HTC are being very weird and trying everyone's patience!
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] Phil750123:
this rings bell to the htc m7 release. Everyone getting really excited and no one knowing for sure whether they had stock or not. Then i remember phoning up 3 and getting the phone the next day (on a sat) and everyone else had to wait til the next week to get it.

Lets hope those who pre ordered early will have it shipped the 6th to arrive the sat or mon.

Looking at the US thread HTC seem to be like this all over the world so least its just not the UK
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] spicypixel:
It's not like I care so much when as much as planning ahead, a fixed date of estimated arrival, or even a date for dispatch... either would be super appreciated (from htc.com)
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] refedit:
mine on expansys delayed to Monday 9th, dang :crying:
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] Stephen:
Yes going to really think about what to do now. I keep looking at the 7 edge. But I know I would probably regret buying it. I also dont want to buy from any of the websites, the reviews look bad. Will really need to think about it!!! I was playing with the 7 edge in the shop the other day!
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] Adam182:
Make an order with very.co.uk, it works out cheaper and you get a delivery date of before 31st May, none of this wondering b/s, none of this delay b/s none of this ''early may'' b/s, any earlier than 31st May is a bonus and i believe it will be earlier as there is no reason why they would get stock any later than amazon, expansys etc. they are just being honest and covering their back with such a later delivery date.
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] 10rdan:
Well my fancy, super dooper, sd card came the day. Might as well plug it into the Hoover, already got one in my m8. :D:D:D
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] Adam182:
What SD card did you go for?
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] 10rdan:
SanDisk Extreme Pro, 64gb. Amazon £38.
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] Galactus:
Yep, Very did the same thing with the S7 Edge. Covered their backs by saying a really late date, but got orders out roughly 10 days earlier. Still, at the rate HTC are moving with their stock, I wouldn't be surprised if it actually turned up on the very last day in May lol

---------- Post added at 07:24 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:22 PM ----------

That is a good card. I grabbed that and a 128GB as a back up, only £25 from Tesco. Extreme Pro is 100% the main card for my S7 Edge (or HTC 10)

---------- Post added at 07:25 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:24 PM ----------

The wait was too long for me, saw the Edge being sold brand new by JD Williams for £524, used ones are still shifting on eBay for £540-570 lol so had to bite. 14 day return policy. If I fall in love with the Edge I'm cancelling the HTC 10 order with Very.
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] exocetdj:
I regretted buying the s7 tbh just didn't have that feel I'm used to.

HTC have brought out an absolutely superb device. No debating that.

They have negated that gain by arsing up the launch and release

Glad my journey (yes u read that right!) Is finally over and I know it's on its way even if it takes a week lol!

I just hope HTC sort it for everyone else before there's no flagship forum next year lol! (OK a lil extreme but ya get me!)

Yes just have to work out the best place to get it form. I am not sure about these deals on the internet. Seen some good options on eBay. Some from France, but dont know if they come with a UK 3 ping plug.

Edit really thinking about this one: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/HTC-10-HT...tory-Unlocked-smartphone-Silver-/282017157761 Checking reviews seller seems really good. Even somebody mentioned buying the HTC 10 off them and gave them top marks! Well may just go for it. Looks like delivery is 11 - 13th May. still better than amazon. Item location is: Huddersfield, West Yorkshire, United Kingdom. You wonder how these guys get stock before the major companies do!

The 'gold' option is still available for by 6th delivery on CW. I just wonder if that color's any good :)
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] c4llum:
ive not heard a single person or review talk about the gold version. most focus on grey or US black/silver version as the standout designs

CPW had exclusive rights to gold in UK, but looks like nobody wants one...
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] ste1164:
S7 edge is still a really good phone if you do go for it. And it has a better camera.
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] evak2979:
I am thinking of giving it a go - I can be rather impatient, to be honest. I've never owned a golden phone, but at this point I don't understand why not just get one. I'll put a case on it anyhow. :)

It makes no sense that the gold will be out on Friday and the grey/silver will be 12 days later
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] evak2979:
It doesn't, but i even chatted with an advisor and he sort of affirmed this?

maybe it's because CW have stock it's Taiwanese imports for all we know. I have no idea, none, but check their site. :)
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] Rotten Ross:
I pre-ordered mine today after checking their site. I knew that it was expected on the 18th. The staff had no idea why the gold was expected to be out sooner.
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] andybg40:
Ordered from Amazon with 6th as delivery date, received an email two hours ago telling me that I would have to wait until 18th!

I hope my HTC order comes through on Friday, as Amazon was a contingency.
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] Rage1ofakind:
Makes sense. As everyone's buying the silver and black. Not many ordering the gold, so Golds in stock :)
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] 10rdan:
