[Touch Cruise General] hawk eye tim:
Just emailed Powerupmobile.com to cancel my order so i can order from devicewire but powerupmobile then phoned to say they have limited stock in today and i should recive it tomorrow and at £370 its one of the cheapest around i think.

C'mon bring it on:)
[Touch Cruise General] xrrkrrkx:
DeviceWire has them

WOOO HOOO

Devicewire does have them, they said 2 days to Sweden!

o how wonderful it is!
[Touch Cruise General] be_vigilant:
I have had a preorder with handtec since december. They took the full amount from my account the day I placed the pre-order. Not had 1 email from them at all letting me know when to expect it. Their customer service is terrible and I would NEVER order from them again

HOW CRAP IS THAT!!!!

I have now cancelled that order and expect a FULL refund ASAP.

I have have also since ordered from devicewire and should get it sat

w00t

GOODBYE OLD CRAPPY tytn!!
[Touch Cruise General] xrrkrrkx:
i had the same thing with expansys. i had it ordered since december and they kept pushing the daters on me, with no apologies, but they sure didnt have a thank you in store for me for holding onto my 6000 SEK.....

no answers to questions, kept pushing dates, i will never buy from them again.

I demanded a full refund from them.
[Touch Cruise General] wywywywy:
Is it just me, or has Expansys UK increased the price AGAIN?
[Touch Cruise General] Abbsta:
They have mate. I had an back order with them at a cheaper price but I cancelled it just now.

[Touch Cruise General] karlth:
It was 115 only 30 minutes ago when I ordered mine.
[Touch Cruise General] finesse:
Really want to order now but cannot justify 389 quid on a phone.

Hmmm I wonder when T-mobile going to release this....:rolleyes:
[Touch Cruise General] yallow:
When I was on devicewire in the morning there were 229 of them, now there are only 86 left.

My respect to devicewire!!! =)

PS: One of them is mine!!! =)
[Touch Cruise General] dr_s:
Wowwwwww.... finally. Only 86 in stock though. I am just wondering whether Devicewire has got it from HTC directly or have tahy got it from a third party in Eruope where HTC is already available. Only because, I hope this is a bug-free first shipment and not the otherway round. Is it only in colour as its shown on devicewire's site? With silver faceplate for button area and silver scroll wheel. Hope it was darker at the bottom part as well. Don't know whether there going to be a darker version later at other UK suppliers later ..... ohhhhh so confused, to order or not to order and wait for colour confirmation, but then its going to be weekend and can't really wait to put kaiser up on ebay and get hold of the CRUISE .... :D
[Touch Cruise General] Abbsta:
When I first posted the news, they had over 200. Who knows how many they sold before that. But they did come in today.

About colour, from what I know, it's black/gray in Europe and probably the States also (for the time being at least).
[Touch Cruise General] devicewire.com:
Hi Guys,

Hope it's ok i'm posting here.

I work for devicewire and am really pleased you guys are visiting our site.

Just to clear up a few questions that have been posted.

1) Device Color:

The image shown on devicewire is the correct imagery. Darker screen surround with lighter buttons. From what we have been told this is the only version available.

2) UK Stock

We source all our HTC products from HTC Direct in Taiwan. Our parent company is one of only 2 official HTC Distributors in the UK. We never offer 'grey' stock.

3) Warranty

We do offer the HTC 2 year warranty (due to point 2).

If you have any further questions, feel free to ask and I'll do my best to answer them.

Hi Danny,

Great to see you on this forum..

One question I have is how to track the order once it has been shipped when no tracking number is provided on your website ? Also, if the item was shipped yesterday does this mean I shall receive today or Monday ?

Thanks.
[Touch Cruise General] devicewire.com:
Hi,

At the top of the site click 'My Account' - sign in and then you should be able to see your account page. Click 'See Orders' and this will display all your previous order details. If a tracking number has been entered on the system it will show here.

All items ordered are sent out on Next Working Day delivery via City Link.

If you placed an order before 4pm and received an email stating the order was 'shipped' yesterday then delivery will be made today.

If you wish me to look in to this further for you send me a PM with your order number. This applies to anyone who wants me to investigate an order.

Regards,

Danny
[Touch Cruise General] dr_s:
Thanks Dany.

I have already ordered one from devicewire :D. Expecting to be delivered tomorrow hopefully.

Are you going to be posting video review of cruise like you did for kaiser?
[Touch Cruise General] retrospek:
Thanks Danny - I've just sent you a PM..

Mark.

Guys - The HTC Touch Cruise is now out of stock - We have an email alert service on the product page here http://www.devicewire.co.uk/HTC-Touch-Cruise - Add your email address and you'll be notified when we get our next batch of stock in.

I'll try to source our next delivery date for you.

Danny
[Touch Cruise General] KillyTheBid:
But Inkino Still have some

Sorry to hear that you have sold out. Inkino of London have the HTC Touch Cruise P3650 at both their shops and at their website www.inkino.co.uk

Do you guys have a shop too, Danny?
[Touch Cruise General] dr_s:
Yeah and INKINO is apparently emotionally black mailing all Touch Cruise entusiasts as they have risen their price tag to £419.99 .... :eek:

Thank God I ordered from devicewire while it was in stock. My order status syas, order fulfilled, pending billing and ship date as 18/01/08 so hopefully Touch Cruise will be knocking on my door on a lovely Saturday morning which is few hours away ... :D
[Touch Cruise General] dr_s:
Congrats man. I am awaiting mine. hopefully be delivered tomorrow. Can u post any pics of it or a video ;) ..... just getting imaptient to see how actually it looks
[Touch Cruise General] dr_s:
Did u get tracking number in your account status yesterday? Mine is showing as status: pending billing, ship date: 18/01/08, actual date: 18/01/08 .... I did receive an email that order has been fulfilled. With this status u think I will be receiving it tomorrow? As yet there is no tracking number and status not showing "shipped". Or is it too early to check for that. It might change after 4 or 5pm?

Don't know how would I sleep tonight ...... adrenaline rushing all over !!!!
[Touch Cruise General] devicewire.com:
Hi,

Unfortunately we do not have a retail store. That does mean we can be aggressive on pricing though.

It would be great if any one who has purchased from us recently (For any product) would drop us an email regarding our service. sales@devicewire.com with the subject - 'Comments For Danny'. I'd love to hear your experience. We may also show them on our site :)

Thanks,

Bad luck...We need to be faster with mouse clicking...

Hello everyone,

this is just to confirm another case of bad luck with ordering Cruise at devicewire. I got the same email as be_vigilant, but I do not mind that much though. Obviously, these devices went away much faster than anticipated:eek:

I, as well, saw the number of the remaining stock and believed there were enough devices, apparently that counter is not updated in real time!!! My order had a status of "Pending Approval" since yesterday, so I phoned them to ask about it. The very same moment I phoned them, I got an email informing me that HTC Cruise is out of stock.:(

It is frustrating, but I do not mind that much really. What upsets me is that certain vendors have raised the price due to high demand. This is just so amazing!!! DO NOT BUY FROM THOSE, damn it!

I will probably order from devicewire anyway, (provided they do not raise the price!), they seem to be friendly and having someone from devicewire actually posting to the forums in a friendly way is nice.

Cheers,

Mike
[Touch Cruise General] Abbsta:
No tracking number and since you got that email, you'll get tomorrow. Mine came around midday.
[Touch Cruise General] devicewire.com:
Hi,

Firstly please accept my personal apologies.

I do know a few International Orders were not shipped due to orders being placed on our site when we do not accept none-UK addresses. This is a security measure our Payment Process imposes and why we deal with all International Orders over the phone. I'm not saying this is the case with your order, just pointing it out.

I'm now out of the office but have set a reminder to deal with this as my first task on Monday Morning. If you wish to send me an email - please send me a PM and I will reply with my personal email address.

I have been informed our next batch of stock we receive will ensure devicewire.com is first to list stock as available to purchase, an advantage of being direct with HTC.

Again please accept my apologies I'll be in touch on Monday.

Regards,

Danny
[Touch Cruise General] devicewire.com:
Hi Mike,

Please accept my personally apologies. Again I will investigate this for you on Monday Morning, first thing.

Without looking at the stats I do know this is either the fastest or second fasted product to be out of stock on our site. It was less than 24 hours to sell our complete allocation.

We are already taking back orders for our promised 5th Feb delivery.

Again please accept my apologies, not having a gadget on the day of release is annoying and i fully understand the frustration this can cause!

I'll be in touch on Monday Morning.

Regards,

Danny

[Touch Cruise General] be_vigilant:
Well as helpful as Danny sounds I am going to email devicewire to sort this out. Not to offend Danny but there is no proof he actually works there

I am confident they will sort it out its just a bit annoying these things happen in the first place.
[Touch Cruise General] devicewire.com:
Morning,

I'm on the case for you, but feel free to email sales@devicewire.com for assistance. As mentioned in my previous post if you want my direct email, please PM me.

I can not yet speak about your order as I am awaiting full details from our customer service team.

I do know that as we use WorldPay to deal with the secure transactions they 'hold' the monies in reserve for 5 days. We then have to manually accept this money within those 5 days. If we do not accept, then the reserved money is then released again.

I'll be in touch shortly once I have the full story for you.

Regards,

Danny

Hi, I have sent you a PM and also believe our customer service team has emailed you.

I hope the outcome is a good one for you and apologise again.

Good Morning Mr Platts

Your HTC Touch Cruise is due for shipment today. There have been conflicting information and a time lapse between some emails recently, so for that, I wish to apologise.

We have been extremely busy in the past few days, but have still endeavoured to produce a high customer service.

If you wish to discuss this further with me, please contact me on +44 870 8490233 and I will personally look into your account for you.

Many thanks

Carrie

[Touch Cruise General] ianl8888:
Hello Danny Devicewire

It's good having a retailer representative on the forum, very helpful.

I'm one of those people from other than the UK patiently waiting for an English ROM device (since last August, actually, when I pre-ordered from the UK)

Could you shed any light at all on this pathetic supply situation please ? Another post gleefully maintained that 450,000 devices were slated for other than the US market, but all we've seen is dribs and drabs (at the most, apparently about 300 units) with retailers continually pushing the release date back and back with cheesy grins. Mid February is now the favoured date, but who in their right mind would believe it now ?

What's going on here ?
[Touch Cruise General] devicewire.com:
Hi Ian,

To be honest I'm not sure why this device seems to have taken its time to hit the UK market. I'm more than happy to try and find out from our product manager and try and get an answer for you.

All I can say is as our parent company is one of only two UK distributors for the HTC product range, so devicewire.com does have an edge over the majority of other sites for stock availability (wow that sounded like a sales pitch! Sorry)

I have now implemented an estimated delivery date on our site (be finished today) The HTC Touch Cruise http://www.devicewire.co.uk/HTC-Touch-Cruise also has a registration form to be alerted via email when stock has arrived (All products that are out of stock now have this feature). This is the best way to keep up to date on deliveries. Due to stock arriving from the other side of the world via a fishing boat, some dates do slip, but our site is always kept up to date with the latest dates we have been provided.

Regards,

Danny
[Touch Cruise General] ianl8888:
Hello Danny

Thank you for the reply. It is appreciated, and if your product manager can shed some light, that too would be appreciated.

Actually, we here in Aus say "a slow boat from China", and for much the same reason. But no one really believes that HTC is shipping 300 at a time on a slow boat.

The real question is whether to continue waiting for a date that has so far proved unreliable quite a few times over quite a few months, or settle into deciding on an alternative. I suspect a lot of potential customers are doing just that (as I am, of course)
[Touch Cruise General] Dr.Mazika:
devicewire is so strange site

1.Delivery Charge is so high £75 for egypt and all other sites is £23

2.You can not add order if you are not from uk .... !!! so the stock will finish until the custome service agent answer you and after all he will send u a message tolding u u have to call +44 0 8708490233 to add your order !!!
[Touch Cruise General] devicewire.com:
The reason our International Charges seem high is due to the fact they are sent with insurance and requiring a signature. I know several sites they just sent the item without insurance or a delivery signature required.

As mentioned previously our Payment provider won't authorise International Cards over the web (Something we hope to change), but with proof of delivery addresses our customer service team can manually process the order for you. You are more than welcome to place a back order with us to guarantee stock.

Hope that helps,

Regards,

Danny
[Touch Cruise General] ianl8888:
Fair enough, no answer also helps a decision.
[Touch Cruise General] Dr.Mazika:
it was not international cards it was bank transfer

and i ask custom service agent to add me an order .. he send me a phone number and ask me to call
[Touch Cruise General] Top Mario:
Tis afternoon I found out that Inkino have four devices left, so I called them to reserve one for me to pick up at the end of the day. To my surprise by the end of the day the price was much higher so I decided to not to buy from them as a matter of principel.

Here is a link, but don't call then before you order it or you will end up paying even more

http://www.inkino.co.uk/zen/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=135&products_id=2112

also, I found out that in2mobiles have a few units left. I have order one but I have to say that their costumer service is the poorest ever (it remind my 3G network costumer service a few year ago). Didn't reply to my email so I phoned them and the lady said that the department was closed, to phone some other day. At this point I canceled the order, then, later on during the day a block call me saying that indeed he has polaris in stock, so, lets see if I get it or not tomorrow

http://www.in2mobiles.co.uk/htc-touc...se-p30853.html

I think is the only two places in the UK

O2 - Iphone

you dont suppose O2 at least are delaying this due to massive commitments with apple?

i mean, if i was apple i would be pretty hacked off if o2 decided to launch (in my opinion) the best all round pda phone to date that in every way except style knocks the pants of the Iphone

Now that sales have been so poor on the Iphone perhaps they are holding back this PDA until it hits its magic quota, wouldnt be the first timeapple has strong armed its way about.

As for the other vendors in the UK i cant be so sure, but again, it seems possible to me that large amounts of cash has exchanged hands for the rights to sell Apples Iphone at future dates
