Nice! Was going to nip to the shop tomorrow but i'm working from 8am-6pm so can't. Deal seems like a good one. Will save me £7 p/m over O2 for the new deal and £37 p/m from what I'm paying now. :) Top...

Just recieved this right now!!

Hope That Helps mate. You might wanna give them a ring tomorrow just to check.
[HD2 General] mofei1:
cheers mate, i did get a phone call from them to confirm my order and was told another email will be sent once it has been dispatched. will give them a ring tomorrow :)
[HD2 General] mofei1:
haha just received my credit check email :D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D
[HD2 General] madindehead:
You guys will get them on Monday from Vodafone (providing they have stock and don't sell out).

No Saturday deliveries. Going to shop tomorrow, and Sat, and if it ain't there, going to order over phone on Sat for Monday delivery.
[HD2 General] diigibio:
Glad you got your e-mail mofei1 :)

@madindehead That's fine with me beats waiting till mid-late next week!! More Playtime.. he he..

If I get my dispatch e-mail tomorrow then i'll be on the phone to cancel with mobiles.co.uk unfortunately. And my sister works for the carphone warehouse call centre as well. (Feel a bit of a traitor) Yeah right! Rock on! If not in shop are you gonna order from vodafone website?

Well good luck guys and see you round the forum.. :)
[HD2 General] madindehead:
I they aren't in the shop, I'm ordering via the phone. The girl in sales said, if I ordered via the phone, I would get it on Monday if I ordered it on Saturday.

Internet takes a little longer she said. Same deals on phone and net, so it's cool.
[HD2 General] diigibio:
That's cool, will post if/when I get dispatch email. :)
[HD2 General] Ben_Mobiles.co.uk:
No update on previous information I'm afraid - but am chasing seeing how Voda appear to be in the lead right now :)

Thanks guys,
[HD2 General] diigibio:
Cheers Ben... Much appreciated. :)
[HD2 General] mofei1:
looks like those who ordered direct from vodafone over the phone are getting theirs dispatched today. :(
[HD2 General] mofei1:
update* vodafone now have just received 350 handsets. dont know how many of those have been allocated for pre orders.
[HD2 General] mofei1:
any of u guys have any luck with vodafone? still no dispatch email here:mad:
[HD2 General] madindehead:
Ordered mine over the phone. Apparently takes a little longer over the internet.

Mine is pending dispatch apparently. So all I'm waiting on is a text to say it has actually been dispatched. Guy on the phone said it was boxed up and waiting to go.
[HD2 General] mofei1:
wish i ordered over the phone now, happy to wait. Get my £90 cash back plus call of duty to keep me busy over the weekend :D
[HD2 General] diigibio:
No dispatch e-mail today. :(

mobiles.co.uk are still within a chance!! lol

Lets just tell the truth!! We are not happy to wait, just we have no choice at the moment. Through different promises. The thing I didn't like about mobiles.co.uk is that I wasn't certain I'd get one as no credit check done to reassure me. That's one of the reasons I went to vodafone direct. At least I know now I'm def getting this phone!! If mobiles.co.uk fall through I have vodafone.

Sold my nokia e90 to money4urmobile.com for £108. Which I'll send on receiving my HTC HD 2... Yay..
[HD2 General] mofei1:
i cancelled my order with mobiles.co.uk. i figured if anything was to go wrong with it, it'll be a right pain sending back where as with vodafone, i can just take it to one the the high street stores.To be honest,i am annoyed a bit that vodafone seem to be shipping phone orders 1st and not online orders. I'm waiting for my iphone to be unlocked by o2 before selling :)
[HD2 General] madindehead:
Latest news with Vodafone is, delivery on Monday by DPD. That's what I have been told at least ^^

Can't wait any longer! Shame I don't have it over the weekend =(
[HD2 General] mofei1:
Just have to wait and see. I went into my local vodafone store who said they will have it next week. If i dont hear from vodafone online early next week, then i'll just go get it in store. They also had a dummy phone out on the shop floor. Phone is a lot smaller than i expected. cant wait!

*update*

Getting mine on Tuesday from vodafone now, yay! initially ordered online but called to cancel that order and order again over the phone but instead the nice lady transferred my order over so didnt need to take my details again or do security/credit checks again. She gave me my new vodafone number and was told it would be delivered on Tuesday. Shortly after that phone call, i received a text saying the phone will be delivered to my address on tuesday. Result!
[HD2 General] madindehead:
When did you transfer your order over mofei1?

I haven't got any idea what on earth is going on. I ordered my phone as soon as the stock came in, the girl phoned me as soon as it arrived.

Now my order is "pending delayed dispatch" when apparently on Friday night it was just "pending dispatch".

Hope that means the phone is in stock, and just waiting to be collected by DPD.

One person says I'll get it on Monday. One has said Tuesday. Now another person has said they don't know when I will get it.

I know a phone launch is a big thing, but still. No one seems to know what is going on =(

I hope I get soon. Otherwise I will go into a store. But even the Vodafone stores either don't know when they are getting it, or don't even know it exists...

I had better get a message about it on Monday at the latest. Otherwise I will be slightly annoyed.

If my phone was pending dispatch last night, why is it now pending delayed dispatch.

Just hope it goes out with DPD on Sunday or Monday at the VERY latest. Just waiting on a text. Didn't even get a text to say it was delayed =(
[HD2 General] mofei1:
I called vodafone around 2:30pm today where i asked if they had the HD2 in stock. I was told it was in stock so then asked if it was possible to cancel my online order and order again over the phone. She said seeing as my order hasnt been processed yet, she trasnferred it for me :)

She then asked if Tuesday delivery is ok and I just said yeh, so i imagine its being despatched on Monday.

Then the text message i received shortly after that phone call says:

"This is to confirm your Vodafone order has been placed for delivery on Tuesday 17/11 between 8:00 and 18:00 to house numer 164, post code xxx xxx. Please ensure someone is available to sign for receipt. You will receive a shipment confirmation in due course. Thank you.

I guess I *should* receive another text on monday.
[HD2 General] madindehead:
So the phone is in stock. Weird. I have been told it might not be in stock. Really confused now.
[HD2 General] mofei1:
This was posted on the vodafone forums ealier today (post 305):
[HD2 General] timewyrm:
This may have been what caused the pending delayed dispatch yesterday, i.e. that there was not enough stock yesterday, but there are a few in stock today.

What I still can't work out is how they decide (even amongst new customers). who gets texts, and who doesn't, and who gets their phones dispatched first (it certainly isn't first come first served).
[HD2 General] madindehead:
Ok. Just off the phone once again to Vodafone. The guy is going to change my delivery method to DPD on Monday.

Because I arranged for Saturday delivery and for some reason they were unable to get it dispatched (even though I ordered it way before the cut off time), they now have to change my delivery method. Will be changed on Monday (so my phone will arrive via DPD on Tuesday). Wish I had just settled for bloody Monday delivery now. Stupid Royal Mail. Would love to know why it failed to be collected or whatever.

Why they don't use DPD for Saturday delivery as well, I do not know.
[HD2 General] mofei1:
Glad u got it all sorted. Lets hope our phones arrive as promised on tuesday.
[HD2 General] mofei1:
just received a text from vodafone to say my phone has been dispatched for delilvery tomorrow! :D
[HD2 General] madindehead:
Ah nice one mate! Jammy! If only they could fix mine already! They said they have to wait until tomorrow to fix the delivery on mine. I still want to know from them why it didn't come on Saturday though. Will be demanding answers. Only two days to go for me...two days of sheer boredom.
[HD2 General] mofei1:
Strange how it's being delivered tomorrow as I was told Tuesday, but i'm not complaning :)

when I type my tracking number into dpd's website, nothing comes up? I guess I have to wait a bit later till I can track it...?
[HD2 General] madindehead:
Yeah you usually do have to wait. You can usually track it after 8pm.
[HD2 General] mofei1:
ah ok, cheers mate!
[HD2 General] timewyrm:
I'm still waiting for a dispatch text :(
[HD2 General] madindehead:
Going to fix mine tomorrow, and have a go as to why it didn't arrive yesterday. Bit annoyed by that.

Going to make sure my phone gets dispatched tomorrow for delivery on Tuesday.
[HD2 General] diigibio:
I'm still waiting for a dispatch text/email too. Aaaaahhhhh
[HD2 General] vinokirk:
I rang Voda to order one earlier and they said it was out of stock! Ordered with mobilephonesdirect.co.uk instead
[HD2 General] madindehead:
Yeah.But they get deliveries everyday. And, my order should already be packed up. just need to change delivery to DPD.
[HD2 General] nicelad_uk:
You're a very brave person!
[HD2 General] mofei1:
Still no tracking information on DPD. Got a funny feeling it wont turn up tomorrow and will turn up on tuesday as originally told. :eek:
[HD2 General] timewyrm:
I think I'm in the same boat as you; still no dispatch text though. :(
[HD2 General] mofei1:
hopefully you'll get your text tomorrow. luckily Tuesday is my day off :D
[HD2 General] timewyrm:
I'm starting to believe the rumors that Vodafone have been bs'ing all along, and that they'll actually be getting the phones in stock tomorrow. It's funny how every time I ring them, they seem to put me on hold for a few minutes, before telling me what's going on (almost like they're not sure what excuse to give).
[HD2 General] mofei1:
Could well be. Although i know some people who should definately be getting theirs tomorrow. They received their tracking numbers on saturday and tracks on the DPD website unlike mine :P
[HD2 General] timewyrm:
I still don't understand:

if people really do get hold of their phones tomorrow, how did Vodafone decide ?

Did they just sit there pulling names out of an HD2 box?
[HD2 General] madindehead:
It would just have been random. The warehouse isn't open over the weekend, so they have very little stock information to go on sadly. That's what I was told. I have been with Vodafone for a while now (two years this coming January, and they have never messed me around).
[HD2 General] biggeorge007:
Hows Quidco Work

Hi all had an order with mobiles.co.uk but canceled it after the 11th came

and email I sent informed me it would be middle next week.

Just looked at Quidco and can get HD2 from Vodafone for £35 month and £90

back but hows the cash back work.

I have the phone in my basket at Vodafone store after following link from

Quidco but nothing saying £90 back, Do I get that back in Quidco account

and can I just transfer that to my Paypal account once credited.

Any help on how it all works gratefully received, a.s.a.p before Voda run out

of stock this week.

George
[HD2 General] madindehead:
Just off the phone to a very nice girl in Vodafone customer support.

She said that the logistics department have apparently secured me a phone off the Royal Mail delivery (who they use for Saturday deliveries) and I should be getting my phone delivered tomorrow by DPD. She said I should get a text soon with all my details.

Can't wait guys! Should have my HD2 tomorrow!
[HD2 General] timewyrm:
I've been told that I have to wait until Saturday, because it was due to be delivered on a Saturday, what a bunch of crock. :mad:
[HD2 General] madindehead:
Just phone and ask them to change the delivery method mate. They did it for me. That's what they told me to do infact!
[HD2 General] Ben_Mobiles.co.uk:
Hiya,

This is by choice, as we would not like to be running credit checks on customers who may well cancel due to availability elsewhere or where we are not sure of stock availability at all (a credit check is only valid for a set number of days too, so there's an outside chance we'd need to perform a second one if stock was really late).

FWIW Unfulfilled credit checks look like credit declines to anyone who uses your credit file, so I wouldn't encourage "casual" checking where you can avoid it.
[HD2 General] timewyrm:
I've got no choice but to laugh!

This is what happened today:

I've been told there is none left in stock

I've been told there are some in stock

I've been told that there maybe some in stock, but it's only a business handset (which is what her manager told her)

I've been told that 81 customers were due to receive their handsets on Saturday, via royal mail, but since Royal mail took too much on, this caused the delay. All 81 people will get their handset tomorrow. IF, that's accurate, then hopefully tomorrow I'll get mine tomorrow.
[HD2 General] madindehead:
Nice mate! I was in a Vodafone store today and saw the dummy model. All I have to say is WOW! The phone is a beast! Looks massive, but fits nice in the hand. Beautiful looking phone. We should get texts from DPD once they pick up the orders (later today I'm told).

Good old Royal Fail messes us around eh. To be fair to Vodafone, I don't think they ever expected this phone to be as popular on contract as it has been!

Let's just hope we get them tomorrow. I have been told that mine is definitely arriving tomorrow. The note on my account even says that. And the order is complete and just need to be collected by DPD. They deliver early in my area, so should have it before lunch I hope.
[HD2 General] mofei1:
I guess thats why my phone isnt here and theres no tracking info on DPD's website. Looks like its needs to be picked up lol. I got my order changed on saturday so i guess that would make sense as i doubt DPD would collect phones on saturday/sunday
[HD2 General] diigibio:
I called vodafone about 11am this morning and changed my order to a phone one. He checked stock and said their were currently 185. He then allocated me one and guanteed delivery tomorrow between 8am and 6pm. And he threw me several free addons to try for the first month. Cool. also cancelled my order with mobiles.co.uk this morning unfortunetly, sorry ben_mobiles.co.uk. have had text confirming tomorrow delivery. just waiting for courier txt now. Just hope the managing agents are around to sign for me.. then i can nip out and collect it from them tomorrow afternoon. :)
[HD2 General] madindehead:
I have been told, to expect DPD to pick it up between 6pm and 8pm most probably.
[HD2 General] diigibio:
Update

Just had my text to inform me the phone has started it's maiden voyage with tracking number (via DPD) and also included my new phone number. At the same time I recieved an e-mail welcoming me to vodafone with my number and telling me about online services etc.. Can't wait.. Tonight's gonna be a sleepless night. I can see it coming. Gadget show, Modern Warfare 2 and Zombieland!! :)
[HD2 General] mofei1:
Cool, hopefully will have some tracking information tonight then.
[HD2 General] madindehead:
Hmm. Hoping I get my text soon also, if you have had yours. Really hope so at least...

God, I can't do this anymore! The waiting is killing me. Not doing this again, haha.
[HD2 General] mofei1:
Does your tracking number work on DPD's website? ie shows actual tracking information?
[HD2 General] madindehead:
For the DPD thing, I have received a lot of packages delivered via DPD. The tracking information usually on goes on the internet 8pm the night before the delivery. I had items dispatched on a Saturday once for Tuesday delivery, and the tracking only started working after 8pm on Monday.

This is from personnel experience with DPD. They are really excellent however.
[HD2 General] mofei1:
Ok, i shall check tonight. Just a bit annoyed as i received a text yesterday saying delivery is today when in fact delivery is tomorrow. really hope it comes tomorrow.

Have you had your text with consignment number?
[HD2 General] timewyrm:
So, the dispatch text comes from DPD after they scan the phone into their system, is that correct ?
[HD2 General] madindehead:
As far as I understand yes.

Sadly not mate. But I'm not worrying too much yet...If I don't get one after 5 I will check up on it.

Killing time by getting all my apps etc ready. Already completed MW2, and Veteran is SO hard!
[HD2 General] timewyrm:
It's looking more and more like the delays are all down to Royal Mail
[HD2 General] madindehead:
Yeah. I think the Saturday none delivery was their fault.

DPD are very reliable (as most courier companies have to be, their business depends on their reputation).

Once DPD have it, you will definitely get it next day.
[HD2 General] diigibio:
Details not available yet on DPD website but will check again after 8pm. :)

He is new here so he can't help it.

Windows mobile 6.5 go to www.htc.com, then click support. select the htc touch pro 2 and then there is an update with windows mobile 6.5. just follow the instructions.

The custom operating systems made here are called ROMSs. it takes some reading before you know what you have to do to use them. If you are just looking for a stable ROM with windows mobile 6.5 and nothing else, go to the HTC site.

For more info about these custom ROMs you can read the wiki on this site.

the displayed Owner Information & ME contact information are the same.
