Not saying that this is deffo the case, but popped in to my local 3 store to see if they had a demo unit to look at, they did but aren't allowed to have it out yet. When i asked why, they guy said that they have been told not to put out any HTC 10 display models or promotion for two weeks?!?! So I asked if that is the planned release date and he said yes, for them it's two weeks today. They even have the phones in stock, but were told not to display them?!?!

I'm wondering if there is a software release due and HTC are asking the more key markets to wait until it's 100% ready, before making the handset available. This way it can be available for download out of the box?
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] alexp999:
Could just be they are making sure everyone has stock for launch but making sure they do not go on sale until they've had a chance to start shipping pre orders.

I'd be a bit annoyed if someone off the street could get one from a store before they'd even shipped my pre order, lol.

Lots of stock ready is good though. Hopefully can translate to lots of sales otherwise if people can't get it they'll buy something else and that's the sale gone.

Last day to re-order from HTC with discount today, think ill just leave it and order from Very instead for cheaper its been a long wait so whats another few weeks. The thing im most pissed about is not being able to get silver/black :( i wouldnt care about how much cheaper it was on at Very id buy straight from HTC.
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] gavinfabl:
Walking in off the street will always be possible. I have done it for several phone launches.
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] D_JWhite:
I'm in a real bind; for this first time I have sufficient funds to get a device on release day (on contract, buying out my old one) but I'm away in Wales. Anyone know how I can get it shipped somewhere other than the billing address without buying outright?
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] v1rk:
So like the m9 its not a finished product then, dont understand how the expect the retailers to update device since its gonna be running with 3 bloatware either way
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] D_JWhite:
If this is the case, I'm guessing they may release a swift update. I've haven't used HTC in about 3 years so I don't know their update frequency so I may be talking out of my backside.

7uck them, fair play to you. :thumbup:
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] Deadeye*:
Yesterday ordered from mobiles.co.uk on vodafone contract and it mentions that i will receive it on 6th
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] fishluke:
I ordered from sister site e2save on like the 14th and it said the same. I'm awaiting a reply after I asked yesterday about release, but I wouldn't count on it definitely coming for release.
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] exocetdj:
Indeed mate feck 'em wonder if the little weasel would rat in his dealer lolol. Probably legal now where he is though.

Well like I said, the fact UK users and also US users not knowing when their investment will arrive when EVEN SAMSUNG let pre-order customers know when shipping is, is pretty shocking. I still love HTC to bits but pissing about with people's money isn't on. I will pull my order next weekend for somewhere that will have the damn thing in stock hahaha.

As for elevate, it's a waste of anyone's time. Basically they get you to do half the marketing for HTC anyway lol. Only checked in once per quarter anyway so said weasel really achieved something yesterday (not!!!). Hamdirs megatech thread is the best place to be for anything HTC

Anyway moving on and looking forward to receiving my device this week, otherwise I will be complaining as chucking me off elevate for spreading their potential BS is kinda messed up.
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] Stephen:
Pitting this order against my HTC order (Both ordered at the same price!) Interesting to see which comes first. Amazon is great at returns so no issue there if HTC's order arrives on Friday :)

My HTC order is sent to my work address, (Hoping for a Friday delivery) the Amazon order is sent to my home address, as it is a Saturday delivery. I could have paid extra for a Friday delivery from Amazon, but did not see the point!
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] exocetdj:
Made a bet with the Mrs whether my leg surgery will happen first (cancelled previously due to an emergency and heard nought since) or my ten will arrive first lol. Best to make fun outta my currently awful situation lol!
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] 10rdan:
That's the main issue, I'm not to bothered but it's the "in the dark" carry on. It's not really on for folk that paid with PayPal and have, already, had their account debited.
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] exocetdj:
Aye exactly fella, I paypaled and didn't mind the wait but being kept in the dark is a bit vaginaish (can't say the proper word for that here lolol)
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] 10rdan:
Oh well, bring on next week. It'll go ballistic either way, if they're despatched or not. :rolleyes:

Yup such is xda. Lol!

Just found these deals on Amazon -

Tempered Glass Screen Protector - £1.90 delivered

Spigen Thin Fit - £4.99

Seller sells a tempered glass screen protector for Iphone SE with really good reviews

Also seems that lots of the spigen cases are discounted at the moment.
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] Adam182:
Cheers for the heads up mate, ordered! Now i just need to order the phone hahaha
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] gigeaky:
went for the transparent one... i would really like to see that back :D

and as for screen https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B01DCGHXDA/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

the only thing is that in one way i hope i'll get the phone soon but the case arrives 11-20 may and the screen 6-10 may so i will have to keep it naked for a couple of days ( in the best case which the phone arrives sooner)

btw on CPW the delivery is put "expected by 6th of May", as english isn't my native language, doesn't that translates to "before 6th"?
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] abell431:
It means on or before 6th.
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] c4llum:
Hopefully! thats my understanding and will be complaining if i dont have it by mon 9th latest.... (new orders the site now says by 18th May!)
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] gigeaky:
Warning OFFtopic :)

So i'll go a little offtopic here as i didn't found anything related: can any of you register on htcdev?

[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] fishluke:
e2save, part of carphone warehouse, have told me that they are expecting stock on 6th May for delivery on 9th May.
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] c4llum:
damn, my order with cpw... so much for having it to play with over the weekend if this is the case...
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] refedit:
ordered from expansys.

shipping expectations for Thursday 5th may. should receive it in 24-48h.

yeah baby yeah!

I'm back HTC baby :silly:

Wut? :p

Long story but there are some tragic people on here lol
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] v1rk:
Hmm whats elevate saying for us?

I let them delete my account cba to sign in types stuff answer surverys go to launch partys etc
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] Stephen:
I have got fed up with HTC. I have decided to cancel my order from the HTC website. I still have my order on amazon for the phone, which is saying it will be dispatched on Thursday and will arrive on Saturday. So I am sticking with that one instead. On my HTC order, I simply put, was not happy with service and have received no information as to when I will receive it and want to process cancel of order. (Oh my ice view case is due to arrive tomorrow :) )

I was even in Carphone Warehouse today and looked at the 7 Edge. Nice phone, but not fussed on the display. For me it was just not right, hard to put my finger on it. I was also really not fussed on Touch Wiz at all and did not like the button placement. So hoping to get my HTC 10 on Saturday and can not wait :D
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] exocetdj:
I may soon be following you on that one with the HTC order! Piss take really isn't it!
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] Galactus:
I already did that, spoke to HTC chat earlier who said I will get an email in 24hr to confirm the cancellation.
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] garymontague:
Was thinking of changing to Amazon but the £50 saving on HTC.com is too much to give up for (hopefully) a day or two longer to wait.
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] c4llum:
at least they can send you an email to confirm that... shame they couldn't do the same with the delivery!
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] Galactus:
Lol wouldn't surprise me if they forget to send that email :eek:
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] Perry977:
Some people in the shipping thread are reporting that their device is shipped.
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] aknotts415:
You wont. I cancelled 2 times and never got one except when i used paypal the one time.
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] exocetdj:
Meanwhile on the UK shipping scene . . . .
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] kotag82:
FYI

Handtec will be shipping end of the next week more likely, info from HANDTEC chat today. I'm thinking to cancel HTC.com order too.

Clove UK waiting for arrival date, shipping sometimes week commencing 9th May.

I think "early May" will be mid May.
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] Stephen:
My Amazon order is shipping this Thursday and arriving Saturday.
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] kotag82:
Prime?
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] aknotts415:
atleast you guys have other options lol.
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] 10rdan:
As sure as 7uck if we cancel HTC UK order, they'll start despatching end of week.
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] Stephen:
Actually no standard shipping. I could have had it delivered on Friday if I really wanted to!
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] c4llum:
rang CPW, customer service agent said my order showing on system as delivery on 6th but they dont currently have stock but that info changes daily so best i call back on 5th to check they've arrived... lol
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] exocetdj:
Amazon have stock right? Lol
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] Stephen:
No idea! Trying to figure out how to contact them!
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] exocetdj:
Lol OK. Can't see HTC screwing over Amazon with late stock lol .Also HTC UK said they had the ten in stock already (4 days ago) buy weren't giving a shipment date

---------- Post added at 03:26 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:14 PM ----------

Just spoke to Amazon customer service who confirmed we will be getting the ten on the 6th or 7th in your case ;)

They said that the phone will be released on Friday and that I will get my ten the same day (so obviously despatched on Thursday)

Time to chill and hope to god that other members here don't wait long
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] Stephen:
Yup did the same. No delays expected. Also got this email confirmation before I was finished the call!
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] exocetdj:
Now that's dogs bollocks service isn't it!

Digital river can go to hell. The 50 quid discount does not warrant that bull crap lol

Very happy knowing that on the 0.1% chance of things going tits up, someone competent will be able to deal with the issue. I should have asked about the case . . .
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] Stephen:
Yes I forgot about that too!!!

[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] DinarQ8:
guys why you wait HTC if the device stock in amazon same price I ordered from Amazon.com and I received yesterday the seller from Taiwan. EMEA Model
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] alexp999:
Amazon UK aren't releasing the HTC 10 until Friday.
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] Diz:
Not the same

Amazon £569

HTC.com with code £513

Code has expired now so Amazon would be the fastest option atm
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] DinarQ8:
amazon us not UK $713 and you can contact with seller ship to uk
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] Stephen:
US models wont work over here. Different LTE bands. Not compatible with my network. I would have done that to get the silver and black version otherwise. It would only give me voice, texting and data up to 3g only, not 4g.
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] DinarQ8:
Mr Stephen the seller from Taiwan he have model EMEA it work very well 4G Band LTE B1/B3/B5/B7/B8/B20/B28/B32/B38/B40/B41*so 4G not work in US but work great in UK

edit : EMEA Model = Europe, Middle East, Africa
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] Stephen:
Ahh sorry did not catch on to that, very interesting! Will check it out.
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] exocetdj:
Should have my refund in a couple of days, been processed.

Can credit DR for that.

It's over to you Amazon!

Any one has any idea when Carphone warehouse will ship their pre orders? According to their site the gold is due on the 6/5 nut silver/grey is 18/5 but that can't be right?
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] gigeaky:
Do you guys know how the shipping will be fulfilled? I mean will HTC.com send an email telling the exact date and which service they will be using? Will the delivery call when it arrives at the door?

I'm asking because when I received a parcel from Amazon a guy rang the door and gave it without asking about name or anything else... (I love in a shared house so....)
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] JazLiew:
Well, nothing's happened to my order yet. Has anyone here in the UK received pending fulfillment? I ordered on the 14th and got confirmation on the 15th.
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] exocetdj:
You should get some kind of notification lol. DR Can't possibly be that awful?
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] v1rk:
Apprantely no email just check findmyorder.com and it will say, mines been boxed shipment since 12th so looks like no uk updates yet
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] exocetdj:
Now that's service hahaha!

They were very quick refunding
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] c4llum:
earlier pre orders should be fulfilled by 6th, its just newer orders that are backlogged with delivery by 18th...

I called today and was reassured it should arrive on 6th. However I'll only believe it when it's in my hand!
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] gigeaky:
:rolleyes:
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] Rotten Ross:
High demand? For a HTC phone? What are the chance of picking one up in store? I called today and they said the 18th was the release for that phone nothing about a back log.
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] c4llum:
yes because early preorders had expected delivery by 6th may. newer orders will now be shipped by 18th which sounds like when they'll get their next big stock order in for online and in-store sales going forward.

(unless you want a gold one as these are still showing as delivery by 6th May so this suggests grey and silver were the more popular ones at initial preorder.)
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] 10rdan:
Is DR only for PayPal orders or ALL UK orders, ie, credit card too ?
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] tbalden:
High demand probably in HTC factory ? Not at the retailer

Same robotic response to shipping date requests day after day.

I know they can't provide a 5 star service in their current position but this goes beyond silly.
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] 10rdan:
Been on their site and found my order, at least it's there. :rolleyes:

---------- Post added at 10:04 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:01 PM ----------

What's the connection between them and HTC, do the just handle/fulfill large orders, eg, bulk pre-orders ?
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] Stephen:
Hey I called them again to see about the ice view case. Unfortunately no information as to when it will be available. They can only say it is out of stock :(
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] Rotten Ross:
I think I will pass on the gold one. I knew I should've pre-ordered it last week but didn't have the money. I just hope my local store has some in store on Friday.
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] exocetdj:
Right OK. Lol. This is going to be an interesting week, maybe a delay in the stock for the case

At least the device has a confirmed shipping date!

---------- Post added at 08:17 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:15 PM ----------

Not sure fella
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] c4llum:
yeh definitely grey or silver best (shame we dont get the silver/black option like in US)

I preordered on 13/04 the day CPW opened preorders so hopefully im one of the first in the queue to get my new HTC!

Was promised it would be 6th,if not i'll be asking for my upfront cost refunded!
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] Adam182:
You might aswell save a pretty penny keep the guessing game going and order with very.co.uk, they have it slated for delivery by 31st May, ill take the savings anyday.
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] alexp999:
Only good for people who haven't got an account already.

I do :(
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] spicypixel:
Can't say I'm confident they'll ship on the 5th for 6th delivery, so it's likely to be 6th for 9th from htc.com
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] Phil750123:
The way I see it, cpw and amazon are confirming 6th but seems neither has the actual stock. Htc confirmed they have stock but aren't releasing to customers.

So I expect cpw and amazon to get theirs tomorrow, and I'm hoping htc will be doing big despatches including customer pre orders tomorrow.

With most people probably getting them Fri if express and sat if not.

On a side note does anyone know who htc use to actually do the delivery? E.g. DHL, dpd, ups etc..

I know sods law I will get mine the hour I'm out the house Friday so want to know where the depot is to collect
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] Sied45:
Has anyone looked at buying from simply electronics? They're showing it up for £489.95 and in stock. Presumably too good to be true?

Apparently I'm not allowed to post links yet, but if you google simply electronics htc 10 I'm sure you'll find what I mean.
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] gigeaky:
Try a Google search for opinions of the site... As I don't want to give a personal opinion without having any contact with them....
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] c4llum:
Yes when I spoke to CPW they confirmed they still expected to deliver 6th but they did not yet have the stock.

She said it would likely come in tomorrow or Thursday so to check back Thursday lunchtime if I hadn't heard as their stock system gets updated daily by about 11am.
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] gigeaky:
What's DR?

[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] Sied45:
Thanks for bringing this to my attention. I thought I'd missed the boat for discounts unless I waited for the end of May for the very.co.uk discount. I've just placed my order direct with htc. Now to hope I don't have to wait too long...

Everyone else in this thread hopes the same thing... :laugh:

Case is indeed delayed. Just had an email to that effect.

Hoping the ten doesn't follow suit.

Seems HTC aren't releasing anything at all lol
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] Stephen:
The case never had a dedicated dispatch or delivery date, just a suggested delivery date. Until tomorrow I am holding out hope that the phone will be sent on time. But if there are delays, you can be assured it is at HTC's end, not Amazons!
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] exocetdj:
If Amazon are stocking up on the 6th also then I should get it Saturday as I chose expedited.

Not too worried about the case being delayed but after confirmation of delivery of the ten to my zddress on the 6th I'd at least expect the ten some point over the weekend lolb

---------- Post added at 07:59 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:56 AM ----------

Oh yeah I'm sure we will get the device by the weekend at least, just means IL have to be extra careful til the case arrived.

And also correct. Amazon are pretty awesome, always buy stuff on there and delivery and customer service is brilliant.

This will be more anger at HTC if things go ttits up. Are there any decision makers in that company who had any sense? Lol.

After all at least Amazon give updates and don't just say early May (which they will probably be saying still in June hahaha!)
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] Adam182:
I feel for all you guys waiting for a delivery on the 6th in the UK, HTC USA almost got a confirmed shipping date on Monday with "end of this week" where as HTC UK is still "early May", very worrying indeed.
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] exocetdj:
That's why I cancelled.

Also interesting that my Amazon delivery for the ten says delivery by 9pm. Wonder if they are going to bang it out the same day they get the stock if they don't stock up tomorrow
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] 10rdan:
I might get mine from HTC before you. :D:D:D
