Diigibio ~ I called Vodaphone today and was told they only got 1000 units in (that was for all their stores as well as phone orders) He advised they've new stock coming on the 27th... I guess O2 has until then to release it or I'll be defecting!
[HD2 General] diigibio:
Thanks for confirming the 27th mate. I'm dying here!! Gotta watch everyone else's clips. :( Suppose 10-11 days ain't gonna hurt providing I actually get one of the next batch. Brave Face :)
[HD2 General] madindehead:
It's worth it. Not to rub it in or anything, but this device is amazing!

It will be really worth that wait.
[HD2 General] mofei1:
Agreed, totally awesome device. Vodafone are sending me out another HD2 lol as apparently my online order didnt get cancelled :mad: Have to wait in all day tomorrow for parcel force just to refuse delivery so it can be sent back to vodafone and cancelled.
[HD2 General] kruegz:
Well **** the bed!!!

After about 32 days my status has changed to Item Shipped

*rides the chair around the room*

Yeeeeeha!

Patients. Soon, precious, soon. :p
[HD2 General] Slaphappy100:
W00t!

Looks like O2 listened, I called today and now have my DHL consignment number! delivery due tomorrow!! :D

It's sad just how excited one can get over a phone!
[HD2 General] diigibio:
I got mine today!!

When the guy swapped my internet order to a phone order (where I ended up with a Touch Diamond) he forgot to cancel my internet order (which was placed before they ran out) and it was delivered today. Imagine my surprise!! Wow, everyone at work now wants one.. So now I just have to send the touch Diamond back..... Sweet.... :)
[HD2 General] mofei1:
nice one mate! Vodafone are so unorganised. I also changed my online order to phone order and vodafone tried delivering me another hd2 today. I spoke to voda yesterday who told me to refuse delivery and they will cancel my online order once they receive their phone back! Had to wait in all day to refuse delivery :mad:
[HD2 General] madindehead:
Nice mate. It's a damn nice phone eh! I love mine! So glad I went for it. It's just amazing.

And that 1GHz Snapdragon won't be out dated for a while. They are still making phones with 500-600MHz processors!
[HD2 General] Ben_Mobiles.co.uk:
Sorry for the thread resurrection (and please don't think this is advertising, I know you guys will appreciate the info as they're unlocked and unbranded) but stock is now at our warehouse and there should be enough for at least a week's worth. We're not updating the website to "In Stock Now" until Monday but we have them, it's approved on Voda and T-Mobile (O2 TBD but chasing like a madman).

Mods - please delete if I've crossed a line :D

Other mobile phone shops are available.
[HD2 General] kjt57:
Hi,

Do Mobiles.co.uk send out a tracking number for DHL?

The only email I have had from them is

Hello,

This email is to notify you that order ****** has been sent to our warehouse to be despatched. Delivery will take place the next working day unless this email is timed after 5pm, in which case it will be collected tomorrow for delivery the following working day.

I recieved this at 17:08 not sure if this means delivery on Monday or Tuesday.

I went for 12 month Vodaphone deal, £89.99 for phone but £60 back from Quidco........
[HD2 General] srw985:
I got a tracking number about two hours after the sent to our warehouse email.

Infact I've been given a DHL tracking number despite asking for Royal Mail (and the email saying its posted via Royal Mail), meaning it now won't get delivered today and I'll be waiting till monday :mad:
[HD2 General] Jmarley:
Are the O2 contract HD2's sim free unlocked ?, You had to comfirm
[HD2 General] diigibio:
:(

I placed an order on 29/10/2009 at 18:38:45 and It says "Order Received" and description is "pending". I'm already with O2 but am able to upgrade for free on December 24th. But don't want to wait that long. The plan is to get new phone on O2 and use £90 Auto Cash Back to cover Dec & Jan Contract.

I've never missed a payment and I used my current O2 contract number when asked to enter "If you have previous O2 number enter here" (To help identify you). Hope I don't get turned down as I have had no other emails other than to say welcome to mobiles.co.uk and we've received your order.

AAAAAhhhh, uncertainty..... Where do I stand?? LOL.. Now I have to wait till Monday morning at 9:10am to find out.... :( Or I could be making a call to O2 on Wed!! For upgrade....

Come on Wednesday!! HURRY UP!! lol
[HD2 General] diigibio:
Providing everything goes through, I've opted for O2 1200 at £40 p/m. As currently I'm spending between £50-£80 p/m by going over minutes and texts. (700 mins 500 txts/ I think) So £40 p/m for 1200 mins & unlimited txt's plus £7 something for data plan still saves me between £10-£30 p/m which will do me, providing phone lives up to the hype!!

Don't know if I'm sad or happy :( / :) Please tell me if I've been accepted!! Surely they would have notified me after a week if i'd failed, RIGHT????
[HD2 General] madindehead:
Yeah. Did you get an email saying "Your chosen item is out of stock"?
[HD2 General] diigibio:
No Mate. Only one with "thanks for registering with mobile.co.uk" and one with "We have received your order. And provided a order ref number." Nothing else.

Surely, they would just say you've been turned down or something??? But i've never ordered from mobiles.co.uk before. And It was over a week ago after my mate noticed they were taking pre-orders with o2.

Please, Please, Please......... Do I have to beg the boss?? LOL
[HD2 General] mofei1:
not looking too good. I ordered yesterday and received the two emails you received *plus* an email confirming my credit check has been successful. Maybe you should ring up on monday and see whats going on.
[HD2 General] madindehead:
I would give them a phone mate. I phoned them a lot today, just checking on my order status. And when I got that email, I phoned them, and they said it meant my order was complete.
[HD2 General] diigibio:
Thanks guy's. Will phone first thing on Monday morning and see what they say. If no joy then I'll just have to call O2 on Wednesday for an early upgrade and pay the difference on my current contract with them direct. I Just want the fastest route to getting it..... My Bad!? (As my family in the states would say) :)
[HD2 General] mofei1:
Just gave them a call and they said i've passed all credit and security checks :D

The guy wasnt too sure when the handset would be available but he said sometime this week.
[HD2 General] madindehead:
They are posting them on Wednesday mate.
[HD2 General] mofei1:
i hope thats true!! seems like i've been waiting for this handset for a very long time!
[HD2 General] ardsar:
a few sites have changed the dates from Wednesday to Friday 13th - ie Clove.co.uk and handtec.co.uk. Just have to wait and see now.
[HD2 General] madindehead:
I spoke to them again today, and they were still sticking with posting on Wednesday. So that's what I'm sticking with :p
[HD2 General] turt:
Ok, but don't come and whine when they don't post it on wednesday... You've been warned ;)
[HD2 General] madindehead:
Why would I come and whine? Unlike a lot of people around here, I'm not a child :p
[HD2 General] mofei1:
does your order still say pending?
[HD2 General] madindehead:
Yup. But it has been confirmed as complete. I think it's only pending because the item isn't in stock yet.
[HD2 General] mofei1:
ah ok, my order is also complete but still says pending, was just wondering. :)
[HD2 General] Belynda:
I have ordered mine today sim free from SuperTrader. They stated that it was maybe Wednesday or maybe Thursday. I have opted for a Saturday am delivery just in case it arrives in store Friday.

I rang about 6 companies prior to ordering. Clove said they would have it Friday but was unsure if they would have one for me or if expected stock was sold.

Others were saying between Wednesday and Friday.Saturday delivery appeared the best option with a view to checking Wednesday if it comes in.

I really want this phone:)
[HD2 General] stargate1000:
ordered mine from devicewire

Devicewire have told me there getting there's Friday and I will receive my hd2 Saturday as I paid for sat before noon delivery.

Something else which I thought is pretty awsome, they said with there preorders they will throw in a copy of copilot! I hope they don't see me off for my freebie! ;)
[HD2 General] madindehead:
From the email I received today. But the guy on the phone still said shipping on Wednesday. Either way, I get it Thursday, or I get it on Saturday. As long as I get it, I don't care!
[HD2 General] mofei1:
pfff, i dont seem to be getting any email updates from mobiles.co.uk :mad:
[HD2 General] madindehead:
Checked your junk mail?
[HD2 General] mofei1:
yep, got absolutely nothing. Also sent them an email regarding my order and they didnt reply.
[HD2 General] mofei1:
do mobiles.co.uk deliver on saturdays? i guess we'll be waiting till next monday if they dont.
[HD2 General] madindehead:
Hmm. That's a good point.

Monday to Thursday - orders placed prior to 4pm delivered next working day between 7.30am and 9.00pm

Friday - Saturday - orders placed prior to 4pm on Friday delivered the following Monday, again between 7.30am and 9.00pm

From their website. That is going to suck badly.However, as the email saidL

This order a pre order, we are expecting them to be delivered to us by Friday.

By Friday, usually means, they expect them in before Friday. I hope...
[HD2 General] mofei1:
lets hope so :D
[HD2 General] diigibio:
Just to you know that I spoke to Amy at mobiles.co.uk about my order and that you guys had had an extra email than me and she said that they were expected in by friday and that our orders could not be credit checked till the phones are in stock.

Anyway i recorded the conversation and might post it a little later tonight as i'm off to work. Later. :)
[HD2 General] Ben_Mobiles.co.uk:
Hiya,

HD2 approval is in place on one network and is very close to being granted on a second - this has taken longer than we'd have liked (and getting stock can only follow approval) but wheels are in motion, cogs are turning and we'll be despatching orders as soon as humanly possible. There won't be an email update until despatch occurs, unless there's bad news about approvals or stock etc - so no news is good news :D

Regards,

Mobiles.co.uk
[HD2 General] madindehead:
Fair enough. Well, I was told, that my order has been accepted by Vodafone, my credit check was all done, and all they were waiting for was the phone to come into stock. Might give them a ring today, and check again.

Maybe it couldn't be allocated because you are on O2?

From the sound of that, approval may be in place for Vodafone, as mobiles.co.uk told me, that Vodafone have approved my credit check.
[HD2 General] Ben_Mobiles.co.uk:
You may deduce that but I couldn't possibly comment.

HTH,
[HD2 General] madindehead:
Ok, thanks mate ^^ Haha.

Just find it weird, having been told on the phone, that my credit check was complete with Vodafone, and all you were waiting on was the stock.

Hope it arrives soon at least. Do you have a better idea of when delivery will be Ben? Or can you not say?
[HD2 General] madindehead:
Email I just received when I asked if my order had been accepted and passed credit checks etc.
[HD2 General] mofei1:
looks like 13th is the date the phones will be reaching retailers. play.com and has just changed their date to the 13th *sighs* mobilephonesdirect have also changed their date. The wait continues................

source: http://mobilescoukcpw.wordpress.com/

seems this has been approved on O2?
[HD2 General] madindehead:
Hmm. Interesting. Maybe that is O2 actually offering it, from their website though.

Given, apparently, I have passed my credit check with Vodafone. I doubt they would lie about that. But Vodafone themselves, won't be offering HTC HD2 contracts (from what I can gather from Vodafone).

Shame about it coming on the 13th of November to retailers =(

Most of us won't get it until the Monday now =(

This is killing me
[HD2 General] nicelad_uk:
I've just been on a chat with mobilephonesdirect.co.uk and they confirmed the 12th is when their head office have stated stock will be in. They will dispatch the same day. Then their website changed straight after I mentioned it.

I'll keep nattering them everyday until its dispatched, want to be sure.
[HD2 General] mofei1:
oops double post
[HD2 General] mofei1:
not too bothered about getting it on monday, any later than that will suck so bad.

for those who cant wait any longer, device wire have 29 in stock for £499 :D
[HD2 General] madindehead:
Can't afford to buy it sadly. I need the contract to get it sadly =(

But yeah. I don't mind waiting too much...

Just want it now!
[HD2 General] madindehead:
Just off the phone to mobiles.co.uk

The guy I spoke to told me, their system still says they are getting the phones tomorrow. He said to phone tomorrow and check. When they arrive, they will be dispatched right away. So, hopefully arriving tomorrow to next day delivery dispatch.

If not tomorrow, they expect them to be in by the end of the week =D
[HD2 General] mofei1:
please be tomorrow :D
[HD2 General] diigibio:
Thanks Ben! :)

I feel like such a big kid again!! Lack of sleep waiting for Santa!! lol..

I'll wait and not make a fuss but it seems like the dates never gonna come.... :)

On the positive side I have just purchased Call Of Duty: Modern Warfare 2. So maybe that'll take the edge off.. :) Hope so...
[HD2 General] madindehead:
Same mate. This waiting is killing me...

Really hope mobiles.co.uk get it tomorrow. I will be phoning them in the morning to get more information! Unless of course, I have a dispatch email before I can contact them! Here's hoping...
[HD2 General] mofei1:
got this email earlier:
[HD2 General] diigibio:
How long ago did get the e-mail? I've so far had no e-mail and tracking status says the same as before. The mobiles.co.uk site still says they expect their batch today (11th November) but no stock booked in yet.. :(

Where is ben@mobiles.co.uk when you need him?? :)
[HD2 General] mofei1:
That email was a reply to an email i sent them on monday. My order still says pending as well. Where on the site does it say they expect stock today?
[HD2 General] mofei1:
oh never mind, i see it now :p
[HD2 General] diigibio:
I've snook my laptop out at work and have the mobiles.co.uk site permanently loaded.

Am I Bad?? :D

Hope I don't get turned down or i'm not included in first dispatch. Had pre-order in for over two weeks. :)
[HD2 General] mofei1:
i only put my order in on the 6th so you should definately be included in first batch. Just have to wait and see now....
[HD2 General] diigibio:
Fingers crossed mate. Then it'll be a sunny day in Blackpool!! Could do with some good news.. Here's hoping.. Hope you get yours asap also. Be good to see how the forum looks on the phone also.. :)
[HD2 General] madindehead:
I phoned them today.

They are still expecting the phones today, but they did say sometimes they get delayed by a day or two.

When they arrived they get dispatched the same day. If we get an email before 3.30pm it will arrive the next day. So hopefully, if we get an email by 3.30pm today, it will arrive tomorrow. If it arrives before 3.30pm on Thurs, we get it on Fri!

Really hope it comes soon =D

I can't wait =(
[HD2 General] mofei1:
i also cant wait...............to get rid of my stupid iphone haha.
[HD2 General] timewyrm:
I'm thinking of going with vodafone 12 month contract for £50 with the phone for £60 (+ free internet). Either that, or an 18 month contract. Just can decide. :confused:

BTW mobiles.co.uk didn't mention anything about a fair use policy ( I did ask), but I just spoke to vodafone, and they said 500MB per month. Is that a lot (browsing iplayer & youtube for a couple of hours a day) ?
[HD2 General] madindehead:
Take one with internet on it mate. You will need it. But the best value will probably be an 18 or 24 month contract. I know it sucks, but it's always the best value. You just NEED internet with this phone. Given the weather app, email, Twitter, Facebook etc.
[HD2 General] timewyrm:
Will the free mobile internet from vodafone be enough (500mb) ?

Why did t-mobile have to fall behind :(
[HD2 General] mofei1:
no one but yourself can answer that question. i personally know 500mb is more than enough for my usage. Be careful with vodafone, apparently they start charging you without letting you know once u go over 500mb
[HD2 General] timewyrm:
Man! That is crap. Mobiles.co.uk, are only doing one 02 contract with free internet, and it's not got enough minutes for me.
[HD2 General] madindehead:
I never go over my 500MB a month. That's with emails when they arrive (I get around 5-10 a day), weather download every 30 mins all day, and some general browsing etc.

I think 500MB on a mobile is fine. For me at least.

If you get SPB Wireless Monitor, you can keep track of how much internet you use a day/week/month and set alarms when you go over certain amounts.

I have mine to alarm when I go over 15MB a day (that's what 500MB a month is roughly each day).
[HD2 General] timewyrm:
Sounds like something worth investigating, thanks.

BTW, did you get an email from them yet ?
[HD2 General] diigibio:
Well i didn't get an email by 3:30 so looks like i've got a long blooming wait. :( still have to use my nokia e90 for now. boring s60. well at least it records phone calls. :(
[HD2 General] mofei1:
no hd2 2moro then by the looks of things :(
[HD2 General] madindehead:
Sadly not had an email. Looks like we will be getting our phones Friday at the earliest.
[HD2 General] mofei1:
mobilephonesdirect now have their stock, come on mobiles.co.uk hurry up :D
[HD2 General] madindehead:
They will get them tomorrow or Friday they said. It's all good! We will get it mate. They said it usually takes a day longer to get stock.
[HD2 General] mofei1:
schhwwweeetttt i really cant wait any longer lol how sad am i :p
[HD2 General] madindehead:
Haha. Same as me mate! Massive electronic/technology geek here. That's what I get for being an electronic engineering student.

The person I spoke to today was very helpful. He said today, "the stock should be arriving today, but more often than not, it takes a day longer to get stock".

Maybe a covering technique in case they don't get it. I don't mind. I'd rather they said a day longer and it arrived the day before.
[HD2 General] mofei1:
hehe! whilst we're waiting, i think i'm going to order a memory card for it. Dont suppose you know a decent place to order from? ideally looking for 8gb.
[HD2 General] madindehead:
I think I ordered my 8GB one for my X1 from Amazon. Someone on there was doing a good price.

http://www.amazon.co.uk/SanDisk-Mic...1?ie=UTF8&s=electronics&qid=1257979973&sr=8-1

There you go mate =) SanDisk are a very good make.
[HD2 General] siamchen:
eXpansys is shipping HD2 now. My order has been marked as shipped but credit card hasn't been charged.:rolleyes:
[HD2 General] turt:
My expansys pre-order is still not shipped...
[HD2 General] kruegz:
double post not as good as yahtzee :-P
[HD2 General] kruegz:
eXpansys com au?

Mine still says 4 days, but got an e-mail, yesterday, saying I could have a WWE Dutch one shipped from HK today. Still waiting for confirmation that this actually happened.........:(

My CC hasn't been charged yet, either. :eek:
[HD2 General] siamchen:
Pre-ordered from expansys.com UK website on 1st Nov. The order status changed to shipped around 1200AM GMT today. I think they will start bulk shipping in 12th Nov. DHL will deliver it over the weekend.:D
[HD2 General] kruegz:
Yeah... I pre-ordered from .au site 16th Oct!!!! :eek:

Should have got it from UK.... oh well.

*goes back to hitting F5 on Order Status screen* :p
[HD2 General] siamchen:
Hi mate, have a look of the exchange rate. AUD is increasing. I think it's good deal to order from UK. They still need to ship from HongKong if you ordered from expansys.com.au

I would prefer order one from UK and get it on hand on next Monday or Tuesday.
[HD2 General] turt:
No, expansys uk...
[HD2 General] mofei1:
any updates from mobiles.co.uk?
[HD2 General] madindehead:
Not yet sadly mate.

I have emailed again asking, and waiting for a reply. Will phone them when I finish uni for the day.
[HD2 General] Ben_Mobiles.co.uk:
Hiya,

Not good news unfortunately - latest is "mid to late next week". Sorry about this, we always pass on the best information we have about deliveries and approvals but the best information is frequently superceded.

I've asked for an update email to be sent to all pre-order customers.

I do have a HD2 on my desk though - any questions? :D
[HD2 General] madindehead:
Aww =( That's a real shame to hear Ben. Oh well...Maybe I can wait...

Can I ask, why the delay?
[HD2 General] Ben_Mobiles.co.uk:
I'm going to stop stocking products called "HD" - we went through all this with the Touch HD.

"History doesn't repeat, but it does rhyme" :)
[HD2 General] madindehead:
What is causing the delay?
[HD2 General] diigibio:
Ben. what kind of answer is that dude? Surely, if stock is allocated to mobiles.co.uk for a specific date then surely you should have the device in stock no later than 24 hrs later. Maybe need to change supply couriers?? lol.. I'm really getting annoyed. I'll wait if I have too but I like to be updated regular with proper info, not just maybe mid to late next week. Surely it's not a secret if a supplier has messed up and dropped your order off to somewhere else by accident?? Anyway, I've had my winge now suppose I better be an adult now. :) not gonna stop me phoning around though, see if i can get it sooner. lol :(
[HD2 General] diigibio:
Maybe they have been abducted by "aliens" to upgrade their mothership!! lol.. Where's Mulder & Scully when you need them? :)
[HD2 General] ageorgiou1984:
Clever Kit seem to have them in stock. I'd phone to double check though.
[HD2 General] madindehead:
We are looking to get the phone on a contract here mate. So showing us a site where we have to pay for it, isn't going to help sadly.

Thank you anyway
[HD2 General] Ben_Mobiles.co.uk:
There's no reason that I can share, but this is simply how it goes I'm afraid. It's not a lost courier or a missed delivery, but a mobile phone launch is a complicated affair involving multiple organisations and more than half the time the date we're given for "launch" or "initial delivery" changes.

When you place a pre-order you're getting in the queue and we try to make sure everyone's kept updated (and the site is always carrying the latest information we have) but I know it can be frustrating and appreciate the patience shown.

HTH
[HD2 General] diigibio:
Thanks anyway Ben. Back to Call of Duty 6 tonight then. ;)
[HD2 General] Roostlick:
It is available direct from Vodafone on there online shop now. No idea on stock though.
[HD2 General] madindehead:
They said it's being released tomorrow. However, you will probably get it Sat if you're lucky, and most probably Monday.
[HD2 General] mofei1:
think i'm going to order direct from vodafone and cancel my order from mobiles.co.uk

£40 a month 18months free handset

£90 cashback via quidco

*Edit: just cancelled my order with mobiles.co.uk, girl i spoke to said they're expecting stock next week. ordered with vodafone as the deal works out better with quidco. Contract works out to be £35 a month over 18 months with 1200 mins, unlimited txt and internet and free handset :)
[HD2 General] madindehead:
There is a Vodafone store near me, so going to check tomorrow if the have the phones in stock ^^
[HD2 General] Philhellene:
I have had a good deal or five on memory cards from www.7dayshop.com :)
[HD2 General] diigibio:
My Local Vodafone shop in Blackpool say's they are getting them tomorrow morning.

Anyway despite that I have just placed and order with vodafone on their site for £40 p/m for 1200 mins, unlimited txt's, extra 300 mins, free landline, Unlimited Internet and webmail.

I'll keep whichever I get first. So who will it be mobiles.co.uk or vodafone? :)
[HD2 General] mofei1:
i also went for the same deal. went through quidco to get £90 cashback. contract works out £35 a month with the cashback :D
