[Galaxy S I9000 General] Beards:
Well I can understand in a way if you are annoyed.... but the truth of the matter is I and a few others have been saying for some time no one apart from carriers would be getting the 16GB model, they have the exclusive rights at the moment.

My honest opinion would be if you can't wait for the phone then move on, forget about the 16GB and order the 8GB model instead.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] hmj2k3:
I've made my pre order more than 15 days ago, it seems that I missed it where you mentioned that or I've pre ordered before!

I'll wait a couple of days or more to see what I'll find from handtec.

The problem is, I live in the midle east and samsung will be releasing the 16GB there, having an 8GB version is like having a crippled child among healthy one " Sorry no offense to ones with crippled child".
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Ramsey:
I am from the middle east too but I live in canada but either way I understand what you mean hehehe.. still you should not care what they say, I find it sad that my people care so much about vanity.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] hmj2k3:
The idea is that it will be hard for me to sell it if I ever wanted to sell!
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Ramsey:
oh haha maybe it's not the same thing then xD

I see hehe it's not entirely for personal use then (unless it is xD) since adding 8gb sd card is cheaper than buying a 16gb phone.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] TravUK:
How quickly peoples expectations seem to rise :p. Even the 8Gig version is still 8Gig more than pretty much every Android phone that has come before it. And with a 32G card added to it, you'll have a nice round 40G total capacity.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] MAJED.y:
This is Handtec response:

Hope this week ends peacefully for all. :D
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Ramsey:
this week feels so shoooooort!!! :D
[Galaxy S I9000 General] 0ne:
Seems also there is a thread up at the VF forums, asking them what is happening..

It appears that the customers there are also getting conflicting advice on the release date and stock status.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Beards:
One option would have been to order the 8GB model from Clove and you get with it an 8GB MicroSD card free.

Whilst I'm here, for everyone else ~ Clove have now issued a firm date for when they expect stock to arrive.

It should be this Wednesday.

See here for details. :)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] hmj2k3:
I should have put my money with Clove.....:(

For some reason I feel violated by Handtec for putting that 16GB version on their site :mad:

I just would like to see their answer for all the people who pre ordered the 16GB from their site.

The problem since they had charged me is that if I canceled the order the money will need at least 3 weeks to get back to my master card account !
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Ramsey:
Thank You Beards :D

Handtec also said Wednesday so Clove confirms it, that's perfect. Probably will arrive monday-tuesday for us international buyers.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] hashfoo:
Updated the opening post. Any other emails/info I have missed?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] BuddyLee:
i normally get my phone the next day ... that is when i buy expansys.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Ramsey:
Handtec delivery Fedex says 2-4 business days :'( so I'm guessing they won't be shipped Wednesday... since they'll need time to add the addresses on each and different procedures ='( even if they do for me international it may take more than 2 days plus I ordered it last week lol so I'm probably in the last group of people that will get the ones backordered.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] NZtechfreak:
Thanks for the news Beards! Can't wait to get mine, so nice to know its coming so much sooner than I had expected!
[Galaxy S I9000 General] hmj2k3:
OK I was just with handtec live support, they could not confirm that they will be receiving the 16GB version of the galaxy S, the only thing they told me regarding this issue is that they are only getting the 8GB at the moment and that they are unable to confirm if they will receive the 16GB any time so I canceled my order with them, are they going to send me an email confirming the cancelation?

I'll be ordering from Clove as soon as I get the refund back to my Master card. :cool:
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Beards:
I'd keep a tight close eye on the credit card.... Handtec are not as quick to re-credit as they are to take it (I need to find that link).

Too late for you now but had you gone with the likes of Clove none of this would have happened...

1. You would not have been misinformed (the 16GB model was never coming to SIM Free).

2. You would not have had your credit card debited (debited only after shipment is processed).

I wish you well in that you don't have a long wait.

Please also bear in mind the back-orders for Clove may soon be reaching the limit for phones being delivered.

If I were you I would send them an email message outlining what has happened and at what state is their back-order levels (do they have more back-orders than stock coming in).

You may find you will still be able to order with Clove even whilst you are waiting for handtec to re-credit your card as your card will not be debited until your order is ready for shipment. :)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] TravUK:
No update on mobiles.co.uk today, still says Mid-June, although we're on the 15th today, which is pretty Mid-June to my mind ;)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Beards:
...... and the race is on.............
[Galaxy S I9000 General] sundip:
can you find out what kind of number of stock we are talking about here? would be interesting!
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Nicolopolus:
Handtec didn't give much of an insight today. Live chat just said 'still expected in this week. We'll keep you informed via the website' (so is an email that hard?!). Getting it sent to my work address, so hope it gets shipped before friday!
[Galaxy S I9000 General] TravUK:
I think you've just used up your smiley ration for the day!
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Beards:
I'll find out for you.

Spoilsport.....
[Galaxy S I9000 General] hmj2k3:
Since I've waited for this long, I think I'm going to wait until my Master card gets refunded again, then hopefully the dust will be settled on the ground and things get clearer for me, who knows maybe at that time the Galaxy S will be available locally!
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Beards:
Okay..... here is the latest (but I have an even later one coming up soon)

Latest message from Chris Love at Clove:-

Mike

We have had just a handful of i9000 confirmed for tomorrow and the main delivery arriving Friday

Er, ok. That's quite enough of that. Jolly good news all the same.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Beards:
And here we have the FINAL HOT PRESS Info.

Just came in this minute and confirmed:

Mike

We now have about 40 arriving on Wed, but over 200 due on Friday

We will therefore begin shipping back orders on Wed and complete these as more stock arrives. I will have free stock at the end of this week, subject to the promised volume arriving.

Ahhh now your talking my language. :D
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Beards:
Chris has now made it official and released the information I gave in one of Clove's blogs.

See here.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] 0ne:
a slight error on date and day there.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Beards:
Yes... but at least we know what he means. :)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Ramsey:
Yeah, hehe it should be Wed 16, and Friday 18.

Either way that's good news.

now let's see what Handtec comes up with n_n
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Nicolopolus:
From Handtec live support:

Nick: Hi, I've just read that clove.co.uk have confirmed they have 40 Samsung Galaxy S units arriving tomorrow, and a further 200 arriving Friday. Do Handtec have any updates on their expected stock levels and dates?

Customer Services (MFB809): The only info is we are expecting our delivery tomorrow or Friday.

Nick: If units are dispatched on Friday, will they be delivered Saturday or Monday?

Customer Services (MFB809): Sorry, When I said tomorrow or Friday, meant Thursday, however if we do get them Friday on the next day system, you will receive Monday.

So looks like same deal, but not sure if they'll get a limited number early like Clove.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] kirandeep:
anyone have news on mobiles.co.uk?

i spoke to someone in sales and they say end of this week..which seems to tie in with what everyone else is saying, just hope this is it, I ordered end of May and My G1 feels so old and dated the more I see of the Samsung.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Ramsey:
http://www.mobicity.com.au/samsung-i9000-galaxy-s.html

seems like Australia has it in stock :/
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Ramsey:
haha, how can "tomorrow or friday" mean thursday. I'm guessing it will be like Clove, hmmmmm how come they only receive a limited number one wednesday then a bigger one on Friday :(

is 200+ even enough ?? someone said there are a million of pre-orders in the UK lol I forget who but is that true xD?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Nicolopolus:
I think that's worldwide - I doubt very much a 60th of the population of the UK have pre-ordered this phone ;) (the iphone4, maybe!)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Knobibrot:
guess that was world wide... here in Germany most people don't know anything about the Galaxy S (but iPhone 4, almost anybody - bad marketing samsung)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] TravUK:
False alarm

Just popped home over lunch, and the neighbour hands me a parcel she signed for. You wouldn't believe my excitement... right up until the point where I realise its a complementary tool attachment for the new Dyson I bought a few weeks back :(
[Galaxy S I9000 General] sundip:
lol tool :)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] TravUK:
lol.

The package was even the right size and weight. No fair. :rolleyes:
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Ferdimage:

indeed good news :D:D so all of them are shipping tomorrow-friday
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Beards:
Well that's very interesting to me....

I bought my wife a replacement Dyson in April (DC25 All Floors).

What was the tool attachment for TravUK?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] TravUK:
At the risk of completely derailing this thread, it was the mattress cleaning tool and we're still waiting on the flexi-crevice tool. We got the DC19T2, it sucks!, and in a good way. :D
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Beards:
Ahhhh.... thanks TravUK.

aaannd we're back on topic. :)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] BuddyLee:
meant to put this post here originally ... but expansys has them in stock now.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] lajson:
As I have read here in Swedish sites the Galaxy should be in-stock at the online stores then 17 June. It's very exciting times :D:D:D:D:D:D
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Nicolopolus:
Hmm, bit jealous! I don't mind that Handtec don't have it yet, but what would be really nice is if they actually kept their customers informed via their website, like they keep telling me they will. (managed to get an update out of them via live chat, but they're clearly too busy to add that to the web page!)

Simply Electronics has 5 of the 16gb models, was tempted however I found nothing but negative reviews about the seller.

http://www.simplyelectronics.net/mainproduct.php?pid=10787
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Ramsey:
wayyyyyyy to expensive!!!!!!! that simply electronics store.. get it from those 3 stores on the first page.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] NickeMan:
Still waiting for a response from unlocked-mobiles :<

When I ordered I got an email about my order being "processed" and the status being "security check", haven't heard anything since...
[Galaxy S I9000 General] MarvinTheAndroid:
Showing as In Stock on Carphone Warehouse: http://www.carphonewarehouse.com/buy/SAMSUNG-GALAXY-S-TGBVT-FCON
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Beards:
I wouldn't believe that if I were you.... It's been showing In/Out/In/Out for the past week.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] NickeMan:
Yep, I believe we can all agree that CPW is full of **** :)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Silverdragondk:
Aye. If they showed HOW MANY they had in stock, that would make it more believable. Which brings me to, why do so few webshops show quantity in stock, or quantity they expect to receive? It's rather poor service.

Regards
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Beards:
Very true..... and I also include Clove in that list as well.

Although to be fair I did manage to find they are receiving 40 today and a further 200 on Friday but you are right, sites should show is a ticker indicating what stock remains.

Saves you having to first ring the seller to ascertain if they actually have got stock and whether or not they can guarantee delivery immediately after purchase.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] TravUK:
Just got my despatch notice from mobiles.co.uk :-)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Adriaaaaan:
Yep AVOID simply electronics like the plague, I nearly had to take them to court once to get my money back because they wouldn't deliver my purchase (it was in stock and being "processed" for 3 months and noone would give me a straight answer).
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Nicolopolus:
Sweeeeet! Now come on Handtec, give me some good news!! Any news!! (good news though)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] kirandeep:
what date did you order on? ordered mine on 24th May
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Beards:
Nice one TravUK.... They currently are showing no stock and back order only.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] hassan:
My order from Clove has been processed and should dispatched any min today. :D
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Beards:
Just the ticket. Please do let us know when you get the final confirmation it's on it's way to you hassan. :)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] hassan:
Yes i will mate, can't wait to get my hands on it.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] TravUK:
I ordered mine on the 21st, about 5mins after it went up for pre-order. Not that I'm keen or anything :rolleyes:
[Galaxy S I9000 General] TravUK:
Maybe it's like clove, and they got a small order today and waiting on a larger one. Although they have been a little slow to update their website.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] MAJED.y:
Confirmation from handtec :

2days left. :rolleyes:
[Galaxy S I9000 General] hashfoo:
Unlocked-Mobiles have dispatched my order! woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo :D

PS. I ordered on Monday, so if anyone hasn't ordered yet, these guys may have some spare...
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Ferdimage:
serious!! i made the purchase back on the 27th of May, and i still dont have a dispatch and tracking number :(

are you in the UK?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] hashfoo:
I don't have a tracking number, but I have been making quite a fuss with them (I cancelled an order because they insurance hadn't been selected), so maybe they gave me some priority. The good news is that they are dispatching right now, so you should get yours soon! :)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Hack3rxt:
Hello, sorry for my english. I write in spanish.

Barbas, me dio por leer hace unos dias y creo que sabes español no? Si es así mi enhorabuena.

Ayer compre en unlock mobiles un galaxy s 8gb y mi pedido ha pasado

Mi problema es que yo he pagado por visa ya el producto y me han cancelado la orden

Alguien sabe porque?

Thanks
[Galaxy S I9000 General] BuddyLee:
no control de seguridad, verificación necesidad de ser necesario para escanear y correo electrónico de identificación del pasaporte ejemplo o algo así.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Adriaaaaan:
WHAT! not fair! i ordered on the 25th!
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Ferdimage:
yeah maybe international buyers gotta wait a lil longer than locals i guess..
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Hack3rxt:
I am the buyer and I paid for this visa on behalf of my wife.

This is the problem?

Thanks
[Galaxy S I9000 General] vitalij:
Just got notification from Fedex that they expect Clove to deliver them parcel today. I have preordered on end of May.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] darksnarfer:
Usually you have to send them your ID to show that the shipping address is the same that the credit card owner's.

Spanish:

Seguramente tienes que enviarles el DNI para que verifiquen que la direccion del titular de la tarjeta de credito vive en el mismo sitio que donde realizan el envio.

Por cierto, cuando hicistes el pedido? Yo lo hice en clove pero aun no tengo confirmacion de que lo hayan enviado. Estoy por cancelarlo y pedirlo en expansys.com ya que ponen que tienen stock ahora mismo.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] FrezoreR:
Not fair! I ordered on the 24th actually!!

I sure don't hope they postpone for us international buyes.

They said to me that they would ship mine either tomorrow or today.. still waiting!
[Galaxy S I9000 General] MarvinTheAndroid:
Just spoken to e2save.com CS and they said my order has been picked and will be dispatched today, arriving tomorrow! :D
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Adriaaaaan:
I've emailed Unlocked mobiles so hopefully i'll know soon when mine will be done. At least then i wont be refreshing yahoo mail every 5 minutes :p
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Ferdimage:
yeah email em hehe, they will say its not 5pm yet!

thats what i got lol
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Nicolopolus:
Damn! So that means won't be getting it til Monday. I wonder if they'll update the website to show this ;)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] jimbob343:
Whoohoo

Just got my confirmation email to say been dispatched and will be with me within the next 24hrs..

Got mine from mobiles.co.uk with the 13month half price..

Cant wait.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Adriaaaaan:
Dispatched! wooohoo, emailing them was a good choice :)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] kirandeep:
just checked status of order online and it says cancelled?....tried calling no answer

with mobiles.co.uk
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Ferdimage:
Same!!

now i can track this baby every movement until it lands at my front door! woohoo!
[Galaxy S I9000 General] hassan:
I could feel so much heat in this thread. :D

Still waiting my tracking info from clove. Although I've assured I'll get mine delivered tomorrow.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Hack3rxt:
Thanks darksnarfer, i buy yesterday. thanks for all, i send dni.

Mi ingles es muy malo pero al menos me entienden en el foro no? Gracias de nuevo.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] TravUK:
Man, I hope you get that sorted, you should definitely be on the short list for dispatch today if you'd ordered on the 24th. They're normally pretty good on answering the phone, I'd keep trying.

I have my tracking number and its due to arrive tomorrow.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] thephawx:
Here's hoping Handtec pulls a miracle and ships at 4PM UK time. But they probably won't.

Now I have to hope they ship either tomorrow or Friday. Just because I want it so bad, cosmic forces will delay it as much as possible.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] AudiS2:
I asked handtec that when will I be getting the phone and said that mobiles.co.uk is sending the phones right now and the reply was as follows:

I understand it is only available on contract at the moment, however the goods will be available as of the 18th June and we will be sending this to you immediately,
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Nicolopolus:
Oh yeah, right - unless you happen to be getting it sim free from unlocked-mobiles, clove or expansys who all seem to have managed to get at least some orders out today. Looks like our horse has come in last!
[Galaxy S I9000 General] TravUK:
mobiles.co.uk are showing them in stock now, they must have some spare after fulfilling their pre-orders.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] thephawx:
At first I was going to buy from unlocked-mobiles, but the shipping to the US was insanely expensive. Even the cheaper Royal Mail without tracking number was expensive.

Handtec had the same price but a much more reasonable Fed-EX shipping option.

Does Clove ship to the US?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] 0ne:
I can confirm I have bought a contract Galaxy S from a CPW store toda on Vodafone. Althought it is an 8GB version.

The box contains, device, battery, quick start guide, usb connection lead, mains power adapter and a stereo headset.

I have not been able to give it a full once over as of yet, but all seems well. The camera has no led flash, but the picture quality is good for a 5mp camera.

I hope you all get your handsets soon. I think you are going to be pleased.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] sundip:
which store??

edit: just rang local store and they have it! im off to have a play :)

i assume you tried voda stores still dont have stock?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] NickeMan:
My order is still in "Security check" over at unlocked-mobiles.

Here's to hoping they manage to push it through in the next 40 minutes!
[Galaxy S I9000 General] dupel:
Vodafone still dont have stock. Also been today to CPW store, they had "quite a few" of them apparently. Have played a bit with it - very touch responsive, brilliant screen, yada yada. Managed to make it lag several time (though I pushed it to max).

It appears to have more programs installed than clean samsung version (3.5 pages of aps). Not sure if it was 16 or 8 gig version. Cheapest was 18 month, 35 permont and 70 for phone, which is very different from Vodafones online offer of 18, 30 and 200. So confused with prices... Will wait for Vodafone store to get stock.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] 0ne:
Vodafone store had not had them in stock when I called. I am down in the far corner in Wales here, so if we have them in our local store, so should you.!
[Galaxy S I9000 General] sundip:
yea store prices should be same as the website, bit strange if it is only 8gb not 16 as stated thats probably why it is cheaper.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] dupel:
Yeah, website offers one offer "18, 30, 100", which would put it against vodafones 18, 30, 200. So CPW probably sell only 8 gig version.

Considering that I can buy class 6 16 gig memory card for some 50-60, CPW offer is much, much better than Vodafones (though, Vodafone will give you a present (in store) a Formula 1 backpack).

However, I'm still waiting for IPhone (with jailbrake, of course) to come out, still not convinced which one is better...
[Galaxy S I9000 General] reiteravi:
just informed by clove my order dispatched
[Galaxy S I9000 General] darksnarfer:
When did you order from the website??

Clove has charged my card, but I haven't received any email saying my order is ready to ship or anything similar. Also sent them an email and they haven't answered. A bit weird... :confused:
[Galaxy S I9000 General] reiteravi:
very early pre order about a

month ago
[Galaxy S I9000 General] MaNIaCv1:
Managed to get my order in at 3:45, site now says pre-order again. Should be dispached today and reach me tomorow. Went for Vodafone Plan 100 + Mobile Internet @ £25.00/month 24-month contract for £9.99, and should get £50 Quidco cashback if it tracks.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Beards:
Clove have now released my order.

Coming by Special Delivery for tomorrow morning.
