[G2 and Desire Z General] Neuromansa:
I preordered from SuperETrader on the 1st of October, but I'm in Italy so I guess it'll take longer for me to get my hands on the Z.

Can anyone please notice me whn they get actual shipment confirmation from SuperETrader? Thanks ;)
[G2 and Desire Z General] jonhitch:
Great to see that the shipment has arrived at Superetrader. May have the DZ on Thursday :) although likely will end up with a card through my door ,and have to pick up from a courier miles away on Saturday morning!

I've not heard back from anyone as to whether Superetrader are HTC partners so I guess just a years warranty. I've had lots of HTC phones and have had few problems, however that hinge does make me a little anxious!

Hope you all receive yours soon - those of you that have kept the faith and still have a pre-order (or 2) in the system!!
[G2 and Desire Z General] Dazmck10:
Is expansys an authorised ultimate partner of HTC?
[G2 and Desire Z General] schriss:
I have my delivery address set to my work place, so.. :-D

And in a year or two I will of course consider another HTC phone. I don't care about the delay at all. I care about the hardware and the community here to develop lots of good stuff for new phone.
[G2 and Desire Z General] filippoz:
that "in-stock" on SuperETrader is tempting :-)

will wait for expansys as I am buying without the VAT so the phone is cheaper :-)
[G2 and Desire Z General] lovelldr:
This was the email I received from them back on 1st October, so I assume they are a HTC Authorised dealer ;) Otherwise they're big liars :p
[G2 and Desire Z General] lovelldr:
Also, just noticed a retailer selling for an extremely cheap price:

http://www.osoo.co.uk/p/HTC_Desire_...Touch_Screen_and_Qwerty_Keyboard(390155).aspx

Wonder how good they are, whether they're genuine, and whether they're htc partners... Doubt it though at that price...
[G2 and Desire Z General] schriss:
Maybe they got a cheaper deal on "loose hinges" batch :-D
[G2 and Desire Z General] filippoz:
about partners etc. - http://www.htc.com/uk/where_to_buy.aspx I think that the listed ones in the UK are genuine partners, the same in other countries.
[G2 and Desire Z General] lovelldr:
lol, probably :D

One other thing I was wondering, anyone know when the carphonewarehouse are likely to receive stock? Do they sell the phone sim free, or would it have to be bought on contract from them?
[G2 and Desire Z General] jonhitch:
Fantastic news - thanks!! :D
[G2 and Desire Z General] AgaZaKa:
We'll see who get's lucky. I just ordered phone from Superetrader but I doubt I will get it from first batch.
[G2 and Desire Z General] zappoo:
I ordered from expansys on the 4th of Oct - so i am praying they get stock today and dispatch mine!

that other site - osoo.co.uk - interesting they are so much cheaper?!
[G2 and Desire Z General] Daffa222:
No idea about stock, but yes, I was told by a Carphone Warehouse employee that they would be selling the phone sim-free.
[G2 and Desire Z General] gtrab:
We are getting the NAM version TOMORROW

:) :)
[G2 and Desire Z General] YOSEFE:
be careful about traders who are "unknown". There are chancers who know how desperate most of us are to get the desire z at any cost.

If they ask you to pay in advance, don't - unless they are a reputable dealer (and they are on the htc website).
[G2 and Desire Z General] MK365:
Cancelled my DZ order and now I have a Desire HD in my hands :D

Keeping the BlackBerry too, nothing comes close to a BB when messaging is your main priority.

The Desire HD's my toy, and the BB's my main phone.
[G2 and Desire Z General] silvacrest:
im not 100% if this is a legit site but this is pretty much my best option for getting the desire z for a decent price so thanks

like the other guy mentioned i also have a milestone and im tired of motorolas restrictiveness, if your in the UK and want a slide out qwerty your choice is the milestone or desire Z so im jumping ship now

if this sites batch does indeed have the dodgy hinge i should be able to get a manufacturers refund right?
[G2 and Desire Z General] salemfox:
Pay by credit card at least so you're covered!
[G2 and Desire Z General] silvacrest:
i've only got a debit card :p it's easier to stay debit free without one but it does have it's advantages
[G2 and Desire Z General] invasion13:
Just got mail from french supplier Rueducommerce(stock was forecast to arrive 2nd of november)

AZERTY Model

it will be in stock the latest the 17th november :-(

Produit : Smartphone HTC Desire Z - Vision

Référence : HTC-DESIRE-Z

Quantité : 1

Marque : HTC

Ce produit de votre commande doit nous être livré par notre fournisseur au plus tard le 17/11/2010
[G2 and Desire Z General] lovelldr:
I wouldn't buy from there without a credit card...

Also, site is just a drop-ship type, run from someone's house from what I've gathered by looking around. So would suggest to proceed with caution, and only purchase on a credit card...
[G2 and Desire Z General] p3eps:
Damn it... I ordered one yesterday morning from HandTec with a case and screen protector. I've never seen superetrader before - but when I was on their site a minute ago their twitter feed said they were shipping them today!

I can't be bothered with the hassle of cancelling and re-ordering. I'll just keep my fingers crossed that HandTec start shipping soon and didn't have a huge pre-order to fill.

As for osoo.co.uk - I'd proceed with caution. It is expensive enough to be legit, but it seems too cheap compared to others. Definately a credit card purchase.
[G2 and Desire Z General] zappoo:
expansys now say Nov 4th.. aargh
[G2 and Desire Z General] Daffa222:
That's still only tomorrow.

I do genuinely believe the phones are coming this time.
[G2 and Desire Z General] schriss:
I'd stay away and would never give them my credit card info.

Some people won't be able to tell the difference3 between fake and real credit card processing page or PayPal login page. You wouldn't want them to get your PayPal username/password...
[G2 and Desire Z General] Lennyuk:
after waiting all this time the last thing you want to do is order from an unknown place and end up with one of a bad batch.
[G2 and Desire Z General] will_riot:
Amazon sent me another email this morning saying 'Hey, you wanna buy a HTC Desire Z'?

Talk about rubbing salt in the wounds.
[G2 and Desire Z General] zappoo:
Chris Love - i assume founder of Clove?? - insists that they are getting stock today.
[G2 and Desire Z General] valve90210:
MPD website still saying my order is pending stock, as suspected the person I spoke to on Monday was a complete liar....
[G2 and Desire Z General] schriss:
Or on last day of work before being sacked LOL
[G2 and Desire Z General] penguin20000:
kick up a fuss & get them a rollicking :cool:
[G2 and Desire Z General] faugusztin:
Just a small detail - one of the czech HTC partners has a promotion where all you have to win a phone is to answer 1 question (yeah, the typical game stuff), but what is important are the dates - for first 2 rounds they give Desire HD and surprise, surprise, Desire Z can be won only from 21.11. This indicates that expecting Desire Z this, and maybe even next week is not very realistic. Seems like HTC will do a Europe wide launch on 11.11. after all.
[G2 and Desire Z General] skulk3r:
i ordered mine from handtec early October. so i had better get it in my hands before you! lol. handtec still says that it will receive stock this week (week commencing 1st Nov) so hopefully it ships before friday!

edit: superetrader have it in stock - which means that handtec better have it too >=[
[G2 and Desire Z General] AgaZaKa:
I asked Superetrader how long is the order queue for Desire Z and they said:

"if you place your order today before 2pm, it will be dispatched today."

That would be great and I realy didn't expect it yesterday morning. I thought I won't see the phone in Nov due to my holiday.
[G2 and Desire Z General] penguin20000:
holy cow, that means they must have received a very large box to cover back orders :D
[G2 and Desire Z General] zappoo:
Someone pls order from Superetrader and see what happens! :)
[G2 and Desire Z General] brononi:
Also recieved a mail from Superetrader.

I've asked delivery time / cost over there since i'm thinking about ordering it in the UK instead of Belgium (will gain 1 week, and also a few euro's)...

So they aren't in yet.

The real question is now, will they come in? Or will the van will be empty when he arrives?
[G2 and Desire Z General] valve90210:
I would say I'll kick up a fuss and try to get some more free accessories but when I ordered I got £100 worth and they had so little I had to order 2 memory cards and 2 bluetooth headsets to use up my credit as it was.
[G2 and Desire Z General] penguin20000:
Their twitter feed is full of replies saying they have them & if you order today before 2pm it'll be shipped. On a first come first served basis, till the they've all gone obviously.
[G2 and Desire Z General] lovelldr:
Next question is, do we wait until other members here have it, and see what their views are, or do we go ahead and order anyway :p hehe
[G2 and Desire Z General] schriss:
Is it possible to use Google Street View to spot HTC branded trucks? :-) Like, upload HTC logo and let the application do pattern search for street pictures containing trucks with that logo.
[G2 and Desire Z General] penguin20000:
I pre ordered mine a few weeks ago from them so i'll let you know tomorrow :)

Now i need to try & get my shipping address changed to work.... hrm
[G2 and Desire Z General] YOSEFE:
I just got an email from MPD, and the following is their email:

Hi "my Name"

We are dispatching your handset on the 4th November.

[G2 and Desire Z General] KarlosTheJackal:
If you find one near Birmingham let me know, Ill go say "Hello" to the driver :cool:
[G2 and Desire Z General] filippoz:
I give up ... expansys is changing their dates few times a day - in the morning states 29th October, in the afternoon states 2 days, later afternoon states 7 days - stock in our supplier

this situation is absolutely ridiculous .... probably going to buy Wildfire by the end of the week and wait for DZ
[G2 and Desire Z General] mk27:
Just spoke to MPD and they said they're expecting it on the 8th for delivery on the 9th.

And they said that's a definite date.

I told them about your email and they said he wont be getting it on that date (tomorrow) :-/
[G2 and Desire Z General] zammo25:
Just phoned a MPD store in Bath and they said they would deffo have it on Friday. Seems to me that no one has a clue right now, but they're all taking a guess and hoping.
[G2 and Desire Z General] schriss:
Clove website now says "First stock arriving today!"

So trucks are on the move... with multiple routes and few dummy trucks to dodge thieves.
[G2 and Desire Z General] filippoz:
One of the official resellers in Poland got them in stock (apparently in large quantity) http://www.komputronik.pl/index.php...bilne/Telefony_i_Smartphone/HTC_Desire_Z.html (see the green small label next to stock)

As a company I am buying from them warious stuff and got an email that - IT IS IN STOCK so if I want I can go there and buy it ;-)

Quality NEWS :-)
[G2 and Desire Z General] AgaZaKa:
And as always electronics is more expensive in Poland than in Europe. Assuming exchange rate of 4.6 gbp/pln it's around £500.
[G2 and Desire Z General] schriss:
Komputronik.com.pl is also the most expensive electronic gadgets web store in poland.
[G2 and Desire Z General] filippoz:
that is true :( , that is why I order from expansys and as a VAT EU Registered company I do not pay VAT when importing :-) who cares if it is for personal or company use as over 100 pounds of VAT in my pocket ...
[G2 and Desire Z General] andrewilley:
SuperEtrader have confirmed to me that my pre-order will be shipped today. And as they're listed on the HTC website, they are presumably an approved reseller so that'll mean 2 years guarantee. Looks like they might actually be the first company to ship to customers (fingers crossed!).

Andre
[G2 and Desire Z General] YOSEFE:
I will let you know on Friday what happens.
[G2 and Desire Z General] schriss:
Just received automatic notification from Handtec, that Desire Z is now in stock.

The note on the website says: Shipping all orders on 4th, which is tomorrow.
[G2 and Desire Z General] filippoz:
When importing from expansys - 400 pounds

If I decide to go with Komputronik - 472 pounds

.... 72 pounds difference, lots of money anyway ... I am so tempted after almost 6 weeks of waiting ;-)
[G2 and Desire Z General] AgaZaKa:
Good news all around.
[G2 and Desire Z General] schriss:
I used to work in Warsaw few years ago. I would probably be already holding that Desire Z in my hands by now LOL
[G2 and Desire Z General] p3eps:
I'm so impatient I called superEbuyer this morning and asked if they had stock - and if I ordered today whether I could get it tomorrow. They said yes.

I then called HandTec and asked when they were getting their stocks in. They said they would be arriving tomorrow, and I would get it on Friday. I cancelled the HandTec order and ordered from superEbuyer instead.

I get a free sceen protector and case from superEbuyer too.
[G2 and Desire Z General] filippoz:
suggesting I should buy it now? hehe ...

it was much easier when living in Edinburgh and buying phones from expansys UK for UK delivery ;-)
[G2 and Desire Z General] schriss:
I'm considering that too... It's brutal, but the first store that stocks AND ships on same day wins.
[G2 and Desire Z General] filippoz:
I've just emailed expansys saying that superetrader and handtec got the DC in stock and what about my order?

Noticed that handtec shipps to EU countries without the VAT so expansys isn't sure about my pre-order :-)
[G2 and Desire Z General] p3eps:
Seems extreme for the sake of a day... but he who dares wins!!

I almost paid the extra £2 for an AM delivery... but my postman usually comes about 10am anyway at work.
[G2 and Desire Z General] schriss:
I will probably just patiently wait, but when I think I could have it before or AFTER the weekend, it's tough choice.

Come on Clove....
[G2 and Desire Z General] schriss:
All I'm saying is I would be definitely getting it during my lunch break in about 1-2 hours :-)
[G2 and Desire Z General] filippoz:
now I have checked and if I choose handtec it will be even cheaper for me - 378 pounds ... so it is worth to wait ;-)
[G2 and Desire Z General] Lennyuk:
I should know in 10 minutes whats going on with my order....I hope
[G2 and Desire Z General] Stellios:
Ive still not heard a peep off play.com, hopefully they will have it by weeks end or ill be trying to find a different retailer with them in stock.
[G2 and Desire Z General] will_riot:
Likewise with Amazon. They just keep sending me template email replies saturated with BS.
[G2 and Desire Z General] filippoz:
shocking:

Quality ;-)
[G2 and Desire Z General] john boot:
I had preorder since Sept with amazon, but this morning I have placed order with superEtraders... I wont cancel my order with Amazon until I get confirmation that my phone has actually shipped, but I called them before placing the order and they said at that time they had stock so it should go out to me in the post today and Ill receive tomorrow :)
[G2 and Desire Z General] zappoo:
Looks like things are finally happening!

Expansys still telling me tomorrow though...
[G2 and Desire Z General] penguin20000:
My order on SuperETrader has changed to "Shipping Pending".

Guess it's too late to get it sent to work now though... :(

Tomorrow will be hell knowing it's at home waiting for me.
[G2 and Desire Z General] brononi:
In Belgium still 12/11? And that for being the central of Europe? ;)
[G2 and Desire Z General] schriss:
I really need to receive this "your order has been shipped" email today.
[G2 and Desire Z General] zappoo:
WOW - just noticed expansys.co.uk now say "100+ in stock"!!
[G2 and Desire Z General] john boot:
Wow, seems like the stocks are flooding into the etailers now :)
[G2 and Desire Z General] zappoo:
Expansys Hong Kong, however, still don't know anything :)
[G2 and Desire Z General] hamish909:
On MPD's website it's just been changed to "PLEASE ALLOW 2 days FOR

FREE CITYLINK DELIVERY"

This mornining it said 7 days.

Woot woot!
[G2 and Desire Z General] brononi:
Expansys belgium is saying still +/- 6 days...
[G2 and Desire Z General] schriss:
Seems like Clove.co.uk was a bad choice? :-(
[G2 and Desire Z General] Lennyuk:
I can assure you clove have stock :) just be patient

they are a good company and will be shipping today/tomorrow
[G2 and Desire Z General] schriss:
I was hoping they would be the first ones to start shipping, today.

My productivity is so much lower today, LOL
[G2 and Desire Z General] mashed_ash:
Mobile fun are also claiming to get stock tomorrow.

They have the phone for £430 but offer a 30 Day "No-Quibble" Money Back Guarantee which particular interests me as I've never owned an android device and I'm not sure if its going to suit me.

Anyone heard from Carphonewarehouse yet?
[G2 and Desire Z General] penguin20000:
If you're in the UK don't forget distance selling regs ;)
[G2 and Desire Z General] Lennyuk:
as far as I know the earliest pre-orders and some orders they class as "priority orders" are shipping today, rest should be tomorrow.
[G2 and Desire Z General] WDawn:
I'm officially moving out to Poland or the UK. :)
[G2 and Desire Z General] silvacrest:
my issue was them being legit or not, after doing some research it seems they dont have the best customer service but they are legitimate

there site says they will have stock by the 10th so that gives me time to look else where, if anyone else knows where i can get this sub £400 that would really help :)
[G2 and Desire Z General] valve90210:
ANyone know how I can access the live halp/chat on mobilephonesdirect? I'm trying to call them but just got cut off after an automated voice told me they were experiencing high volume of calls.

I'm sure I've accessed the live chat before but can't see a link for it anywhere anymore, am I being blind?
[G2 and Desire Z General] andrewilley:
Very nice email from SuperEtrader at 12:16pm:

Dear Andre Willey

Your order number, xxxxxx, has been dispatched.

Product Description

1 x​

Part #13000 :: HTC Desire Z MoDaCo Special Edition Sim Free Unockled

​

So I'm just getting ready to edit my sig tomorrow...

Andre
[G2 and Desire Z General] steveoidm:
Just got this from Clove...

"Steve

Stock is here and we are going through the orders

We will email you a tracking number as it ships"

Woohoo!
[G2 and Desire Z General] schriss:
Just received Twitter from Clove: Desire Z is in stock.
[G2 and Desire Z General] AgaZaKa:
Just received email from SupereTrader:

"Your order number xxxx has been dispatched."

:-)
[G2 and Desire Z General] mccabeross:
Hate to be a smug b@stard but...

Posted a week ago in this thread...

Posted today in the Desire HD forums...

Desire Z starts shipping today.... coincidence?
[G2 and Desire Z General] john boot:
When did you place your order?
[G2 and Desire Z General] skulk3r:
handtec shipping all orders on the 4th..that's tomorrow!! =O
[G2 and Desire Z General] schriss:
I just got the same, with "soon" added at the end :-)
[G2 and Desire Z General] penguin20000:
whheeee superetrader order dispatched email :) (ordered 22nd October if anyone was wondering)
[G2 and Desire Z General] AgaZaKa:
Yesterday around 19.00. Just after reading here about availability. I forgot to thank you guys. Good thing I waited with my order until last minute.
[G2 and Desire Z General] valve90210:
Anyone heard anything from MPD? Seems like I've chosen the worst of the bunch!!!
[G2 and Desire Z General] penguin20000:
good job there wasn't a shortage like the HD ;)
[G2 and Desire Z General] jonhitch:
It's coming!!

Just got my confirmation from Superetrader (I ordered mid October)
[G2 and Desire Z General] schriss:
Yea, all moaners have to admit HTC has delivered unlimited amount of stock and made us happy in the end ;-)
[G2 and Desire Z General] brononi:
Maybe for the UK. But here (Belgium) still no luck... :$

Still more then 1 week to wait?
[G2 and Desire Z General] Pickx:
No, it wasn't. Though I placed my pre-order very recently, they said I should have mine shipped today/tomorrow. Yours will obviously be shipped even sooner.
[G2 and Desire Z General] filippoz:
lucky you guys :-) I am still waiting - pre-order on the 27th of September :-) damn I am patient :-)

Another email to expansys:
[G2 and Desire Z General] CommanderAce:
Got my dispatch conformation at 12:48, placed my order at 09:12 this morning!

EDIT: That was through SuperETrader too.
[G2 and Desire Z General] p3eps:
Got an email from superEtrader about 45 mins ago saying my order has been dispatched. Not bad since I only ordered it at 10.20 this morning!
[G2 and Desire Z General] john boot:
Got my dispatch confirmation from superEtrader :) .. placed order about 11am this morning, so I can now cancel my pre order with amazon :)
[G2 and Desire Z General] silvacrest:
further research regarding osoo/Elite Gadgets (they have the same address) lead me to AV forums, basically they take your money without having the needed stock levels so i wont be dealing with them

now i just need to find a place who will sell it for a decent price...
[G2 and Desire Z General] miiZ:
and for netherlands and belgium they speak of a 2 week delay.....

this is just ridicioulous ...
[G2 and Desire Z General] weszjuh:
Where do they speak of a 2 week delay?
[G2 and Desire Z General] dicko99:
Clove's status has changed to "Now in Stock"...

Still no news on anything being dispatched.

I pre-ordered on 30/09 so hopefully I'm near the front of the queue.

R.
[G2 and Desire Z General] schriss:
Good find. So they have no stock at all and buy things for you using your money.
[G2 and Desire Z General] :
This is due to the UK having 1000s in stock today;)

Also ordered with Superetrader with the modaco123 deal this morning, was dispatched 3 hours later;)

The Z is back on my sig;P

JD
[G2 and Desire Z General] oneshotaz:
Got an email from Clove saying that my order has been dispatched. I think that Clove's order will start flowing in the coming hours as it seems they have a lot of orders to handle.
[G2 and Desire Z General] miiZ:
huge twitter reply to markmoons where they ask howcome theires another delay and that the UK allready got it.

That guy tweets about symbian and football but a descent reply to his customers he cant do that ...

Dutch:

Beste @markmoons, waar blijft de HTC Desire Z? Ik hoor verhalen over 2 weken uitstel.

Salland & PDAshop still got 10/11 and 12/11

@JD: so ? it shouldnt be that way ! All partners should have the same amount of stock...

HTC & clients = utter ***** :)

Its lame really lame... its probably cause We got the HD first and thats such BAH.. We didnt want the HD we want the Z and we want it when the rest of the world has it ...

argh next phone isnt gonna be an HTC thats for sure :x
[G2 and Desire Z General] silvacrest:
i dont no if this has been mentioned but the cheapest other price i found was £409 at buymobilephones.net http://www.buymobilephones.net/mobile-phones/HTC/HTC-Desire-Z/SIM-Free/SIM-Free/6997552,983575486">

it's £20.77 more expensive then the osoo price so not bad overall but the availability is just "stock due soon"

hopefully a email will reveal more info
[G2 and Desire Z General] penguin20000:
Someone soon changed their mind ;) :p
[G2 and Desire Z General] filippoz:
it is cool to see people happy :D

I did not received my email with shipping number but happy for you guys waiting for my turn ;-)

So JD - will contact you when you modify something ;-)

LOL
[G2 and Desire Z General] YOSEFE:
You probably are much safer and better off buying yours from one of the listed dealers on the HTC.com website.

Just a thought.
