Well, expansys.pl where I ordered 2 days ago told me they have it in stock now and seems like they're going to ship it out to me... Sadly, I won't get it until Monday :/
[HD2 General] timewyrm:
Vodafone have it now in stock! Currently trying to phone my local store, to see if they have any in stock.
[HD2 General] @home:
At least you had a response.

I emailed them this moring & still haven't had a reply.

I was promised my phone by 1pm Today.

Has anyone who ordered from actually recieved thier phone yet?
[HD2 General] sharpey:
i have been promised the phone by 1pm today to... i`ll keep you updated but i wont hold my breath.

i got the pack with case and screen protectors etc yesterday lol
[HD2 General] christonabike:
I sincerely hope you get your phone today. I was also told it would arrive some time this morning.. hell, it still might! There's still an hour left :)

I have absolutely no idea if my order has been cancelled, shipped, lost, stolen or indeed, the dog has eaten it. It largely depends on who answers the phone at superetrader.

Did they tell you which courier was shipping it?
[HD2 General] sub69:
Mine just arrived from SupereTrader (a day early, as far as I'm concerned). Came via UPS if that helps, so keep your eyes open for a horrible brown van...

EDIT: By the way, I got the "shipped" e-mail two days ago (with no tracking number) and the accessories arrived yesterday. Seems to be the standard pattern, so I'd have thought you'll all be unboxing soon...
[HD2 General] acostaf:
mobilephonesdirect got them in stock

I was on the phone with a lady from mobilephonesdirect and told me that they have then in stock this morning so will start delivering, so tomorrow or Saturday it should be with me.
[HD2 General] MasterTP:
Its now avaialbe for FREE @ Vodafone UK! http://www.mobiletechworld.com/2009/11/12/htc-hd2-available-for-free-on-vodafone/ :eek:
[HD2 General] @home:
No Matey they didn't.

I am seriously thinking of cancelling with them & returning the accessories they sent & blocking my CC.
[HD2 General] acostaf:
Still it's cheaper in mobilephonesdirect with t-mobile 35 per month free 18 months, the cheapest on the web
[HD2 General] christonabike:
Many thanks for the update (and congrats on the new phone!) :D

Maybe there's hope for us yet..
[HD2 General] sub69:
No probs.

I do feel a bit bad for superetrader with all these comments flying around - having had nothing but good service from them previously, obviously something has gone wrong this time...

I almost wish you'd all got yours before me.

Almost ;)

Mobilephonesdirect

Just received this email from mobilephonesdirect:

Dear Customer

Thank you for your order for the amazing new HTC HD2, the very latest mobile from HTC with an amazing 4.3” touch screen in an 11mm thin body.

HTC HD2 stock has arrived on our warehouse this morning and your pending order is now being moved to dispatch. We normally process orders for dispatch within 24 hours, but due to sheer volume of HD2 pre-orders, please allow up to 48 hours for delivery. We are endeavouring to dispatch as many handsets as possible today. We use Royal Mail Special Delivery which offers a next working day pre-1pm service so anticipate that your delivery will arrive tomorrow or on Monday.

Thank you for your patience.

Edit: Just received confirmation it has now been dispatched so will hopefully have it tomorrow
[HD2 General] @home:
Did you get a time to be delivered?
[HD2 General] witNer:
Devicewire delivered as promised

Well they said it was would sent out for next day delivery and it did. I'm now the proud owner of one sitting in front of me now. Ordered it at about 11am yesterday and arrived at almost the same time this morning... :D

Interesting looking at it compared to my iPhone 3G as the phone is nearly the same size but it's the screen that just grabs your attention. HTC did a great job getting all that screen into the device whilst leaving a place for the buttons and ear piece. Truly amazing piece of kit!

Oh and one final tip for those now received their yet....don't use the leather case as mine was so tight I nearly had to cut it open to get the damn thing out again...! Think the flip leather case option might be a little better for those wanting to protect it fully. :D
[HD2 General] acostaf:
Me too, exactly the same email, I preordered mine 16/10 what about you ?
[HD2 General] Pantaloonie:
I got that email too.

Pre-ordered on the 22nd last month.

They've just turned off the live chat on their website so I can't ask them if they'll despatch mine today.... Don't wanna wait 'til monday!
[HD2 General] sharpey:
10 mins to go and still no delivery from superetrader :mad:
[HD2 General] @home:
Same here

Just rung them, their system is down, so no tracking detials.

was promised it was gonna be here today with UPS.

Somehow I don't believe them.

Might give it till 5pm then ring em and cancel my order. It's not gonna be out for delivery if it ain't here by then.
[HD2 General] sharpey:
mine has just arrived so hopefully yours is out there to @home
[HD2 General] weepatc:
Ordered mine 20/10
[HD2 General] @home:
Probably won't make any differance but where in UK are you. Huddersfield here.

Glad you got yours, Mines missed the 1pm deadline though.
[HD2 General] AshHD:
Just got mine and its beautiful :-D :-D :-D :-D

YAY!!! - I am such a GEEK!
[HD2 General] sharpey:
im in folkestone, kent

still not arrived?
[HD2 General] witNer:
Think we are ALL GEEKS if we can all fork out £500 on a phone! :D

Well it certainly is worth it as far as I am concerned.....by by iPhone glad to see the back of it!! :D
[HD2 General] @home:
No - Nothing. Not Impressed - should have stayed with Expansys - would have had it by now
[HD2 General] AndyNic:
Dam I wish I had £500 spare. Have to wait for Vodaphone or O2 to get their act together.
[HD2 General] timewyrm:
It's available on vodafone right now £40 a month 18 months.
[HD2 General] sub69:
Sorry for the slow response... No I didn't. I was told last week that it would be coming on Friday 13th, I haven't spoken to anyone at superetrader since then, and I just got that one e-mail a couple of days ago with no indication of when anything would arrive.
[HD2 General] witNer:
I was going to wait for O2 but decided to way up the best options.

Figured that I am on a £20 simplicity tariff with loads of minutes and text and a free unlimited data bolt on. With the possible cheapest tariff being about £34-36 (guessing), that meant an extra £14-£16 a month, which over 12 months meant £168-£192 more paid out. Then there is the fact the phone will probably cost something like £190 to buy too and that made it £358 - £382 paid out over a year. Then I have my iPhone to sell, which should cover the difference between £382 compared to the HTC of £500 (£118) plus a bit left over (buy some accessories!).

This all meant I was not tied into a 12-18 month contract (simplicity is just a month contract rolling over) and I could do whatever I wanted with the phone i.e. Cooked Roms etc :D

All in all it worked perfectly for me but I suppose may not for others....?! :D
[HD2 General] paulrockliffe:
Had the same email from Mobilephonesdirect.co.uk, but not had a dispatched email yet. I ordered mine on the 9th of November.

Unfortunately, mine has to go to my parents then get forwarded on to me, so I'll have it Monday - Wednesday next week I guess :-(
[HD2 General] AndyNic:
I know its off topic but is it true that vodaphone and O2 user the same network. coverage is sporadic at my house and O2 is th only one that seams to work but never tested Voda.
[HD2 General] timewyrm:
TBH, I've got no idea, sorry.
[HD2 General] Belynda:
I am still waiting for delivery, managed to get a tracking number this morning from SuperEtrader, still saying out for delivery. Keeping my fingers cross but feeling a bit edgy!
[HD2 General] AndyGarton:
Mine has arrived from SuperETrader.
[HD2 General] madindehead:
Vodafone will have it available over the phone tomorrow. They say if you order over the phone, you will get it on Monday (apparently).

Will check the stores (four in Glasgow) tomorrow also, and Saturday if there is nothing there tomorrow. I want this phone!
[HD2 General] @home:
Did it come UPS? I'm still waiting...Arghh
[HD2 General] sub69:
No, Vodafone and O2 have their own cell towers. And if you want to see on a map which ones are near you, then you just need to go to: http://www.sitefinder.ofcom.org.uk/
[HD2 General] AndyGarton:
Yes it was UPS.
[HD2 General] madindehead:
They do however share towers with each other, giving us greater coverage.
[HD2 General] sub69:
They only share towers in certain locations though. They very definitely don't share a tower in my little corner of South-East London, where Vodafone has great reception, and O2 is dreadful.
[HD2 General] Pantaloonie:
My mobilephonesdirect order has just changed to 'ready for depatch'.

No email yet though...
[HD2 General] DialecticThought:
I've been following this forum religiously since I ordered my HD2. And of course the day I don't come on, I find out this morning that my phone was shipped from Clove yesterday! Anyone know the turn around time DHL/Clove ships to the US?

Update: Arrived in New York about two hours ago. Hope it gets here (California) within the next day or two.
[HD2 General] AndyNic:
Confirmed Vodaphone dont work near mine. Must be an O2 only tower ah well its a long wait for th 23rd. At least I will keep my number.
[HD2 General] skr_xd:
Call clove today.

They promised to ship on monday or tuesday.

Anybody else from U.A.E ordered in clove & shipping through DHL?

Whats the update?
[HD2 General] timewyrm:
Ordered with Vodafone, over the phone :D

Should be here on Saturday :cool:

@madindehead, I was told Monday for orders placed online, and Saturday for orders placed over the phone. Maybe you want to ask them again (if you want to get it from them directly) ?
[HD2 General] Shasarak:
They don't share where I am in Walthamstow (North East London, zone 3) either.
[HD2 General] bosshog_uk:
Grrr! My mobilephonesdirect.co.uk order says pending stock! Although they are still advertising it being in stock on the website. Anyone else suffering a similar fate?
[HD2 General] sharpey:
did it turn up @home?
[HD2 General] @home:
No it didn't.

Got an e-mail from them with a tracking number for Royal Mail for delivery tomorrow.

All well & good if it comes but they lied for 3 days telling me it was being delivered on that day.

Just hope it's not faulty & then I don't have to deal with them ever again.

How you liking yours.
[HD2 General] christonabike:
Same here, they actually phoned too which was nice. It's just a shame they've strung us along. I'd rather have been told the truth in the first place :(

Oh well, better late than never!
[HD2 General] dusty_nz:
Woohoo. Phone is in a plane between London and Perth as of 10pm london last night.

Hope these are fast planes :)
[HD2 General] Phrak:
Nice! :-D Who's your mobile service with Dusty?
[HD2 General] dusty_nz:

Probably a big box of a few 1000 has invoked the Gag reflex.

Do you plan on staying with Tel$tra, even though your HD2 won't be able to use their 3G HSDPA network?

The EDGE connection should still work fine.
[HD2 General] dusty_nz:
well..

I was sort of aware of some sort of 3G difference between the HD and HD2.

Whats the go?

For me its not a major. Not a lot of surfing. Use it mainly for business and most of my internet stuff is background.

I really like the HD and my two issues were speed and screen size. HD2 fixes both.
[HD2 General] sharpey:
royal mail? weird everyone else had it delivered by ups...

its well worth the wait im loving it so far :)
[HD2 General] @home:
Yeah I Know.

I keep checking Track n Trace with Royal mail.

It's on it's way so fingers crossed for this morning.
[HD2 General] giz2003:
Hey,

does anyone know when T-mobile will be getting this phone in the UK.
[HD2 General] timewyrm:
Earliest will be the first week of December, the last time I spoke to them.
[HD2 General] @home:
Well It's finally turned up - I have the box in my hand. Will try it later to make sure it works ok.

Finally I'm part of the Family!!!! :)
[HD2 General] sharpey:
niceone @home

im sure you will love it

screen takes some getting used to though ive only used resistive in the past lol
[HD2 General] @home:
Thanks.

I do have an iPod touch, so I'm guessing it'll feel like that on the screen responsiveness side?

I want to play!!!!
[HD2 General] wilbur:
T-Mobile business upgrades are now sending this out - just ordered mine, as have several others at on Modaco forums
[HD2 General] giz2003:
ok, thanks I will get mine ordered once they start selling it in Dec.
[HD2 General] skotten:
Finally it is in stock and the danish operator telmore.dk are selling the HD2 - gotta love them for waiting untill friday the 13, wonderfull attitude. ;)

The prices without subscription are 577 euro/ 515 £ and with a monthly 40 euro subscription it's 430 euro.
[HD2 General] timewyrm:
Yeah, I found out a few hours ago, that they're also offering the handset to existing customers. On Monday, they said first week of December, 4 days later, they're selling the phone.

This launch has been confusing since day 1 :D

EDIT: the news on the vodafone forums is that Vodafone have 350 in stock, ready for delivery tomorrow. Grab one if you can!

[HD2 General] leftkats:
how much will the hd2 cost in germany as I am flying there in December? where can you find a simfree one? would it be translated in german?

thanks!
[HD2 General] Bagpuss:
Just ordered mine from Vodafone. Apparently, they had 500 phones come in today, and there were 53 left when I placed my order.

Got a pretty good deal I think, especially as I'm a new customer.

900 minutes, unlimited text, unlimited landline, unlimited internet

18 month contract, £35/month.

Phone should be here on Monday. Well chuffed.

Bagpuss.

expansys

started to get a little frustrated with Expansys... ordered on the 11th when they said 100+ in stock and still not shipped saying Main Status:	Awaiting Stock. Might cancel in the morning.

Any retail shops selling the handset only, at £500? mark in the UK
[HD2 General] tony.wheeler:
T-Mobile (UK) In Stock (non-business)

Just ordered today (evening) from T-Mobile UK. The very nice lady said they (selling staff) had been briefed this morning it would not be in till Dec - then late am they were told that it was due any day - then at 1400 they arrived in stock for ordering. She told me they were going very fast! Perhaps all of us on this forum

I ordered mine and was told it was one of a few left. Paid £92 plus about £7 P&P. On 300 mins, 300 texts, and Web & Walk data with family pack (£5 add on) - all at £32 per month on a contact renewal. Also paid for the phone insurance to give that peace of mind - not that I will not be very careful with my new toy.....

Expect delivery on Tue am.
[HD2 General] amitambika:
It was in Carrefour Deira city centre.Should be there in other places like Sharf DG and Axiom.

Don't hold your breath Sam.

I bought a Touch Cruise first day off Clove tech a couple of years ago and it never got any cheaper in Australia than I got it from Clove.

You are right.

Also, i have checked with carrefour in AlAin & Abudhabi(Not in Dubai though). They told me it will be available sometime next week.

switzerland - a bargain

sounds like a bargain - where exactly?

thxs and regards
[HD2 General] shirreer:
Don't even let me begin on Expansys' incompetence... Ok, I'll tell you anyhow:

After verifying stock availability and deliverability to Dubai with them, I placed the order through my brother in London only to get an email from them that they can only deliver to address on credit-card. So, cancelled that one and made an other using my own card, they tell me they cannot charge me using a card from my bank (a visa card from a bank valued at 200 Billion USD). So, I cancelled that one, and informed them that I'll simply do a SWIFT WIRE to their account if they can confirm that a unit will be held for me. Got confirmation that it'll be at my address 4 days after receiving the wire, so I wired the money, and I just received an email saying that they went out of stock and I must wait 23 days+shipping time!!!! LOL...

To add salt to wound, their staff is extraordinarily ill-mannered and at times even rude - a girl gave me attitude befoe hanging up on me, a guy had well nigh told me to f**k off after I explained what they did to me the first time, another guy.....etc, and so forth. Trust me, if I know anything about business - and I actually do - Expansys will not survive too long if they don't do something about their customer skills, quality of service, competent workforce, and HONESTY.

In a nutshell, Expansys right now is: Dishonest, incompetent, rude, has commitment issues, and invariably lacks customer skills.

...my 2 cents...

To quote my grandfather, "Anything that sounds too good to be true, usually is too good to be true". Run away! Run away!
[HD2 General] Tomo1340:
MSN him and ask him some details. Interogate him if needs be.
[HD2 General] mr_Ray:
The very fact that you can MSN him is the strongest proof of this pretty obvious con job.

What kind of a business has a hotmail address?

Certainly not ones that are apparently able to provide brand new products at way below cost price, and only accept payment via western scamion. Seriously, this "company" might as well be called "Scams 'r' Us" or "Scamazon".
[HD2 General] laporte:
hi guys!

i ordered my hd2 today with contract to lower the price. german provider talkline contract + htc hd 2 getting me all-in-one costs of 412,2€ :D

can't wait for my new baby...
[HD2 General] Biffy:
I think expansys price is now cheaper, it's £434 and you still get the £30 accessory voucher too.
[HD2 General] tids2k:
had a word with expansys Australia ... round date at 7th November !!
[HD2 General] Tomo1340:
Perhaps I should have added this :rolleyes:

Actually a few years ago I bought some neon lights for my fish tank off an ebayer, he added me to msn and tried to sell me every console/mobile/gadget going over msn an hotmail mail shots. His feedback never dropped below 100% and he was a power seller. Suffice to say I never ordered off him again, he was cheap and seemed to have good stock though but not signifficantly cheaper than others.

My point is, there's cheap and there is unrealistically cheap. Like someone else said if something seems too good to be true, it probably is.

I know a guy who used to sell knock off watches/perfumes at car boot sales, he wasn't much cheaper than buying the real thing, he might have only sold half as many times as someone selling them half the price but he priced his tat high enough to be convincingly real. He's changed his tune these days and works for the Salvation Army.

I would still ask this David Elects questions though, where are they based, telephone numbers etc and then get them closed down before then do scam anybody.
[HD2 General] GotBoost:
Please send me the link to the Contract for 412,2€.

Thanks.
[HD2 General] kb0n:
Same here, except it's not talkline =) Wish they accepted not only one, but both contracts (would've saved another 70€).

Can't wait to receive the device. Yummy
[HD2 General] manicotti:
Odd...one could just order 2 to get 1 free and then order 2 more to get 1 more free -- that'd effectively be a "buy 4, get 2 free" deal. Clearly, the seller isn't so good with math.

I'd be careful with the apparently amazing HD2 price. Is it possible that the seller is confusing the "HD2" with the "Touch 2"? If so, I'd be doubly cautious of dealing with him as he now appears to have both math and word deficiencies...
[HD2 General] kb0n:
I remember criminal bands located in Nigeria trying to buy a lot of stuff from customers here in Europe. They all had/have (still active) fancy hotmail-addresses and pay via Western Union -> payment returns because not covered -> you never get your stuff back. I'm not saying this is criminal activity, but it makes me think twice. Maybe same group, dunno....just be careful with ridiculously cheap prices.
[HD2 General] motlking:
Anybody ordered from expansys.com (UK)?

Price is 434.77 + 23.95 (DHL shipping) = 458.72 GBP ~$816AUD

expansys also gives 30GBP vouchers free (pretty good but better if you could use it straight away as shipping is >21.95GBP for most items)

Handtec is 424.99 + 34.90 (FedEx) = 459.89 GBP ~$812AUD

Clove is 439 + 29 = 468 GBP ~$827AUD

Looks like expansys is the best given the bonus voucher. Anyone know how they are with shipping? After sales service? Warranty?

Also anyone know if you get sent a voucher code straight away? would be great if it did as you could then buy something else (ie car kit or memory card) and combine shipping before HD2 gets shipped...
[HD2 General] twisted-pixel:
if you read the Ts & Cs you see that the vouchers are only sent after you've received the device (possibly to stop you doing the very thing that you've suggested)
[HD2 General] aiwama:
If you Google davidelects it will show a business linked to mobile phones, gadgets and other electronic products. It seems to be based in Malaysia but sometimes David Elects shows up as living in the UK. It is definitely worrying that this guy, apparently the owner of David Elects Ltd announces so much stuff for selling BUT does not even have a basic website. Let alone his maths calculations :p
