i have a feeling they are just saying this to cover those early pre-orderers i have a suspicion that they can fill more orders than just september as i ordered this week and was told that 'when stock comes in this week it will be shipped to you' imo wait and see i think some people who made october orders will still get them.

personally id be annoyed if i had to wait another week sure its just 1 week but i dont have a phone atm cause i sold mine so i could afford the DHD so im feeling a little lost :\
[Desire HD General] crossbox:
e2save aren't selling it on PAYG - looks like contract only
[Desire HD General] liorra3:
same here, my order is from the 15th sept, and still nothing new...
[Desire HD General] oawalker:
Does anyone know any stores in london that have the dhd in stock at phone4u??

payasyougo?
[Desire HD General] havoc99:
I just hot a reply from Handtec telling me that I'll receive my DHD next week "when stocks arrive" ... this is so annoying feel like getting the iPhone just to ppiss them off but I don't think I can do that to myself! :P
[Desire HD General] liorra3:
that is it - i pre order form clove in the 15th sept and now my CC have been coerce.

that mean that clove have the DHD sim-free in stock, and they start to ship it tomorrow!
[Desire HD General] Eurks:
Still not email from P4U about my phone :( they said it should be here 22nd or before, hope I get a dispatch email today.
[Desire HD General] Micheil794:

[Desire HD General] Veilus:

[Desire HD General] olivierlee:

[Desire HD General] liorra3:

its seems that the first orders are shipping first :D
[Desire HD General] scotia_rfc:
Nothing taken from my card yet :(

I didn't order till 1st Oct. I'm not holding out any hope of getting my order from the initial stock!

Bad times!!!!! :(:(:(
[Desire HD General] @home:
I ordered 15th september too.

Is there any indication of whether they are shipping today, for delivery tomorrow?

That'd be cool, a DHD for the weekend!!!

I wish I could get to my CC account to see if they have taken the money
[Desire HD General] liorra3:
as far that we know, the shipping will out tomorrow :rolleyes:
[Desire HD General] oawalker:
Got this email from Expansys:

"Hello

We are expecting stock to arrive tomorrow. Delivery would be on Monday although there is an outside chance of delivery on Saturday.

Regards

eXpansys"
[Desire HD General] nickhammond121:
I just received this from vodafone uk:

Dear Customer,

Thank you for your email, I can confirm that we will receive new stock on the 22nd and your order should be dispatched within one working day. Sorry for the delay and inconvenience this has caused you.

Kind regards,

Abbas Khan Vodafone Customer Services

[Desire HD General] zen123:
Is it locked to T-Mobile?
[Desire HD General] andrewd1:
The one I got direct from T-Mobile is locked but has no branding on it.
[Desire HD General] badaas:
CANCELLED MINE. fed up, e2save are ****! preordered, yet no stock left, so have to wait. only had a message to ring them when i checked my account there. no email, no call nothing.

going elsewhere.
[Desire HD General] howdarkwepray:
Just spoke to Netcom (Norwegian one). They took the DHD off their website today, because HTC suddenly told them that they can only deliver 20% of what they had commited to. The guy hadn't heard of any hardware problems, and didn't know if that was related to it. I have to call back tomorrow and find out if I'm one of the lucky ones (?) that gets a phone. He doesn't know when the phone will be genuinely available in Norway.
[Desire HD General] polystirenman:
i have a feeling that this whole delay and stock shortage has something to do with WM7 coming out now.they simply didn't have enough capacity to make enough phones to keep "everyone happy".and with WM7 they had particular date they had to meet so DHDs were pushed back.we are just unlucky that this phone release is along WM7 release.my opinion anyway.
[Desire HD General] Buddhainuk:
got mine today just walked into CarphoneWarehouse :)

been waiting 4 T-mobile to send one out but they have had no stock in at all so i Phoned CPW asked if they had any in they said yes got back in touch with T-mobile and told the that i had got one put to one side so they phone CPW and told them that i would be on the way to pick it up was there with in 15min to get it LoL

the manager asked how come that i had only to pay £30(for the phone) on a £15 a month contract i told him the story and he could not belive it.

So I would like to say a Big thanks to T-moblie for the great customer serivce thanks guys.
[Desire HD General] liorra3:
YESS MY DHD IS --- dispatched~!
[Desire HD General] abrasive:
I contacted the HTC office yesterday to ask for when it's expected to hit the Scandinavian market, and they said that there's no date set yet.

Also just recieved a mail from eXpansys that they're only getting around 75 units tomorrow and that they've got over 400 pre-orders on the phone.
[Desire HD General] polystirenman:
who did you ordered from?
[Desire HD General] ardsar:
I think he said Clove...........
[Desire HD General] polystirenman:
oh.all right.missed that.thx
[Desire HD General] crossbox:
Clove are clearly better than Handtec - one lives and learns I guess
[Desire HD General] SW7:
Been to all 3 P4U stores in Cardiff, one of them had stock but wouldn't sell it to me SIM free; the other 2 had no stock at all. A sales rep told me they are getting some stock on Friday but because it is so limited they'll have to keep them for contracts. A shop manager at one of those stores (the one had stock) told me I won't be able to get it on PAYG or SIM free at this side of the year!! (He was talking rubbish, he was trying to talk me into a contract...)
[Desire HD General] liorra3:
yep, order from clove on the 15th last month, its with dhl now, will get it on Sunday-Monday!
[Desire HD General] ardsar:
shipments abroad may be going a day early, so that they arrive on the so called launch day of the 25th????
[Desire HD General] polystirenman:
true.next time i am going for Clove.that's for sure.
[Desire HD General] Buddhainuk:
Guys if ya looking for Desire HD Blackpool CarphoneWarehouse has some in :)
[Desire HD General] crossbox:
Yeah just spoke to Handtec - after being so sure they would receive enough stock this week to meet all orders as of the 14th of October they cant guarantee their second shipment will be enough to clear all orders

fantastic :mad:

Handtec suck
[Desire HD General] Eurks:
Has anyone ordered theres from P4U decently? and had a dispatched email yet? Mine still hasn't come threw and it sposed to be with me tomorrow :(
[Desire HD General] bigsi100:
Interesting - I ordered from play.com on the 6th Oct - but got the 1st November as the release date, may suggest a play.com f**k up rather than batching up in date ordered order . . .

I'm hoping so anyway.
[Desire HD General] polystirenman:
i pre ordered mine on 30th last month.i can still hope.
[Desire HD General] @home:
I ordered on the 15 september & just had this from Clove

We are pleased to inform you that your order has been dispatched.

Your order was dispatched by UK Courier Citylink (Next Working Day).

Hope it's here tomoz - Friday - Should be its next day delivery
[Desire HD General] SW7:
Possibly...their website still show 25th Oct...I sent them an email ask for some explanation but didn't get any respond so far...:mad:

My other pre-order with Amazon is way worse - they are still showing 15 Nov...:(
[Desire HD General] latte33:
I had the email from Play.com stated 25 Oct. But i won't give much hope, since they were change the release date from 19 Oct to 25 Oct...

I will go London shopping around .... hope can get a sim free DHD....
[Desire HD General] Axiol:
25 Oct seems to be the one wich come back the most. Hope Amazon will change the date while the WE ...
[Desire HD General] SW7:
Get me one if you manage to find a shop willing to sell sim free...I got no chance buying sim free DHD here... I've already been to every possible mobile phone shop in Cardiff (P4U,CPW,etc) but none of them had any stock or won't sell it to me sim free...
[Desire HD General] kingkobra74:
I ordered from P4U earlier this week, just before they changed the delivery date from 20th to the 22nd. I spoke to an advisor who assured me they were aiming to get them out the door in time for delivery on Friday.

Spoke to an advisor again today at lunchtime, and queried my order status. She told me it had been despatched and it should be with me next day, but should allow till Monday. I've not had an email though. She did say I should get a despatch confirmation, so I'm just hoping she was telling me the truth and they batch send out all the despatched emails, cos will need to take time off work tomorrow to wait for delivery. Will be pissed if she was telling me porkies.
[Desire HD General] SW7:
I HOPE SO!! I haven't heard anything from them since they changed their date to 15th Nov.:(
[Desire HD General] Eurks:
What network did you order yours on and I ordered my yesterday when the website still said delivery for the 22nd it has been taken of today so I'm a little worried as my phone is getting sold tomorrow I have a buyer coming over.
[Desire HD General] s32bauer:
I also got told exactly the same, that is had been sent this morning. Explained that it should be with me tomorrow, but to allow 3-5 working days for any delays.

I too didn't receive any confirmation of despatch via email. She apologised for this, and advised that she couldn't provide me with a tracking number at the time, and asked me to contact them later this afternoon.

Have just spoken to someone else just now and been told that it's still showing as despatched, but still unable to give me a tracking number. She's advised me that if I don't have the phone by Monday, to call back and they should be able to give me a tracking number then. Not overly happy with that to be honest, but guess there is nothing I can do.

The first person I spoke to did confirm that it would be an unbranded GSM unit though, so hopefully that's correct at least.
[Desire HD General] latte33:
I just called MobileFun and have some answer from them since they changed their release date from 1 Nov to 26 Oct....

I ordered at 29 Sept.....and in front of me have 25 people at the pre-ordered list...

First batch have around 10-15 handsets....dammit....

I probably have to wait another weeks....1 November....

Oh dear, i think i have to my Play.com at 25 Oct.... :(

Ordered with a Vodafone contract
[Desire HD General] Eurks:
Oryt ok same here, I hope I do get it tomorrow.
[Desire HD General] scotia_rfc:
Emailed Clove hoping they would be able to tell me if my order would get processed in the initial stock.

Just received the following :

If i'm luck i'll be getting my handset next week. I hope i don't have to wait till the first week of November :(
[Desire HD General] abrasive:
Well, be happy that they're even getting any phones. Stores in Sweden haven't even seen the phone Once.
[Desire HD General] havoc99:
I ordered on the 4th of October.
[Desire HD General] Craptastical:
Considering Elgiganten, PC City, Pixmania, and apparently Expansys are all part of the same umbrella (DSG International)... I guess a bunch of us in the Nordics will be waiting a while.

HTC should have named it the HTC Tease. Or HTC Holdout. Or HTC Blue Balls HD.

/me is still irritated that Elgiganten took my money before shipment
[Desire HD General] latte33:
OMG :confused:

The release date cannot be trusted -.-
[Desire HD General] SW7:
Maybe Amazon's 15 Nov. is right after all...:(:(:(
[Desire HD General] berek9999:
I'm hoping that Amazons date is deliberately pessimistic to cover themselves. Probably just wishful thinking on my part though.
[Desire HD General] Eurks:
Just emailed P4U with order number and it was dispatched this morning and I ordered it yesterday so anyone that has before that then I'm sure it be here tomorrow or maybe saturday.
[Desire HD General] Xartz:
Yesterday I cancelled my pre-order and ordered a handset from e2save. Best decision of my life, got if today, no proxy issue, although I've got a wobbly camera rim. Is that normal?
[Desire HD General] ardsar:
There is another thread where lose camera rim is discussed.
[Desire HD General] vastis:
On Twitter 3 hours ago:

"SuperEtrader SuperEtrader

HTC Desire HD shipping starts tomorrow! Due to limited stock, devices will be shipped in order of date purchased."

And 1 hour ago:

"SuperEtrader SuperEtrader

if you pre-ordered a HTC Desire HD with us before 23/09/10 then congratulations you are guaranteed a Desire HD in the first allocation."

I pre-ordered with the MoDaCo-offer 21/09. :)
[Desire HD General] Evostance:
Don't mean to piss of your fire but:

"SuperEtrader SuperEtrader

if you pre-ordered a HTC Desire HD with us

before

23/09/10 then congratulations you are guaranteed a Desire HD in the first allocation."

As for people going into Phones4U and being told they can't sell them Sim Free.

Just tell them thats not what customer services told you on the phone ;)
[Desire HD General] vastis:
OMG, I was sooo on fire I wrote my own orderingdate wrong! I pre-ordered 21/09/10 at 6 in the morning... :)
[Desire HD General] kingcedz:
mine ordered at superetrader on 15sep. let's hope there is no " I m sorry to inform you.." bombshell tomorrow, and the royal mail next day delivery does their job properly.
[Desire HD General] bratfink:
phones4u

Have you tried the customer services thing? Will it work?
[Desire HD General] Evostance:
Its not guaranteed to work but I went into a phone shop and said that and they said they'd call me tomorrow if one came in
[Desire HD General] Mujja:
I managed to get one sim free by asking for one on a O2 contract. They had the last one on hold for me and would only offer a Orange or Voda contract. However the little ad clearly shows phone is also available on O2.

We were half an hour in to paper work when they said no to O2. I remained polite and reminded them how far I had travelled and time already spent in store plus what their ad says. Eventually the manager let me take it sim free.

Something worth trying, sit down and start the sale process and then refuse the other networks and ask for O2.
[Desire HD General] clooak:
Ive ordered from superetrader with the modaco deal 20/09/2010 so hopefully if there is no screwing up I will get mine around wednesday next week =).
[Desire HD General] Eurks:
To everyone that has ordered from P4U recently anyone got dispatch email yet? Also little of topic what size sd card if any does the phone come with?
[Desire HD General] kingkobra74:
No email from P4U yet, so I am beginning to wonder if they were telling porkies, and I'll end up wasting a morning off work tomorrow.

I did notice its not listed as a pre-order on the website any more though, so maybe there really is nothing to worry about.

Can't believe I'm getting myself into such a tizz over a phone delivery though :/
[Desire HD General] olivierlee:
Woke up to this email from Clove today.

"We are pleased to inform you that your order has been dispatched.

Your order was dispatched by DHL Int Courier (1-6 Days)."
[Desire HD General] Axiol:
Anyone tried to contact Amazon UK recently ?
[Desire HD General] Eurks:
Well 3 people on here us included has been told by someone from P4U our order has been dispatched this morning, so I'm sure there should be nothing to worry about, I hope.
[Desire HD General] Rittzy:
From what im hearing 1Gb internal memory left and 8Gb memory card, i think
[Desire HD General] Evostance:
Its 4GB ;)
[Desire HD General] berek9999:
On the 18th they told me that my order was due to be shipped on 15th Nov. I pre-ordered on 23rd Sep
[Desire HD General] LeviathanPT:
I had it pre-ordered on amazon uk since the morning of the 16th and they kept saying 15November so i told them a week ago to go #)%/#%) themselves..
[Desire HD General] Eddie1506:
I'll probably hold my place in the queue till the end. No point in cancelling and ordering elsewhere since I'm probably one of the first to order (Sep 16th, just as you) on Amazon and will be one of the last to get it from other retailers.
[Desire HD General] mupet0000:
Which one the internal or memory card.
[Desire HD General] Evostance:
Memory Card.

4Gb is the standard nowadays. Pretty sure I've read it on various sites saying it comes with a 4Gb card.
[Desire HD General] Rittzy:
Evostance, i reckon you should give play.com a call tomorrow to see if there gettin them in tomorrow or on monday :D
[Desire HD General] Nameless_87:
I'm pretty sure the dhd comes with a class 2 Samsung 8GB memory card
[Desire HD General] donach:
P4U can you trust 'em?

I ordered from P4U on sunday night. This afternoon after several emails, chats, & a fone call I got an email saying "now in the warehouse being processed for dispatch within the next 48 hours." Which could mean it'll turn up tomorrow or it could mean they give it to Royal Mail on Saturday afternoon who don't get in their system till monday & I don't get it till tuesday.

What winds me up is @ 2 this afternoon their website was still saying ***Order today for delivery on or before 22/10/10*** which is blatantly untrue.

I'm away all next week so if I don't get it by saturday I probably don't get it for a week.

I hate their lying ways
[Desire HD General] Evostance:
I'll give them a call. But I'm going into a store tomorrow if they call me to pick one up.
[Desire HD General] Evostance:
Report them to trading standards and have your way with them ;)
[Desire HD General] Jason1978:
HTC Desire HD

Me and a mate did some ringing around Phones4u shops today and most were unwilling to sell without a contract.

I rang the one in Stockport in the morning and they said they had none in stock, and as I found out a few shops had deliveries that day, I phoned back later on and they had one in stock. They reserved it until the end of the day, and sold it to me no problem sim free at £449.95!

My mate managed to get one from the store on Market Street in Manchester as well so we are now both proud owners of HDs!! :D:D:D
[Desire HD General] ramadanatt:
DHD that Orange, Vodafone, T-Mobile, CWH, and P4U offer comes with 4GB MicroSD Card

DHD that internet stores offer does come with 8GB one
[Desire HD General] Jason1978:
The one I got was from Phones4u and has an 8GB Samsung card...
[Desire HD General] Rittzy:
I think i phoned every store in northern ireland (phones4u) and none want to sell them sim free, apparently there all contract but ive seen a couple of people say that there is actually a ticket on them saying sim free for £449?
[Desire HD General] Evostance:
Just tell them you've spoke to customer services and they says they can't hold stock back if they have it.

Although mine was genuine. Just make something similar up
[Desire HD General] Rittzy:
Did you actually ring them up or is this a way you've found works?
[Desire HD General] badaas:
bastards! i pre-ordered mine end of september, and no stock to ship!

you order, and have it next day :(

fed up lol, but congrats to you :D
[Desire HD General] Prad001:
Hi

can you let me know when you ordered from clove, i too placed my order on 29th September haven't heard a word. I have been calling them daily for an update but nothing works. :confused:
[Desire HD General] olivierlee:
Ordered on the 16th September. Some other people here ordered around the same date as me and theirs have been shipped too.
[Desire HD General] liorra3:
order at 15th sept and its on the way to me from clove.
[Desire HD General] ardsar:
Check their website for details. They only received enough stock to cover the first few days of pre-orders.
[Desire HD General] Buddhainuk:
OK guys

once again just to help!

If any one can not be arsed waiting the CarphoneWarehouse at Blackpool Hounds Shopping center, Has loads of HTC Desire HD on Orange, Vod, T-m got mine from the store yestaday.

hope this helps you guys

Oh and it was not locked to T-mobile
[Desire HD General] Evostance:
I called up various stores who told me they were allowed to sell them sim free and the confirmed it on the phone
[Desire HD General] SupremeBeaver:
well it's the 22nd today. Anyone got their phones dispatched by Handtec?
[Desire HD General] vrgngns:
i've pre-ordered at 6th october and waiting for 2nd batch :(
[Desire HD General] kingkobra74:
I got the despatch email from P4U this morning at 1.10am, but it said it wouldn't leave their warehouse until that evening, so now I don't know if it'll show today and the email was just delayed, or if it won't be till tomorrow/Monday.

I've not been able to take time off work to receive delivery, so if anyone does get one delivered from P4U this morning, would appreciate a mention, so I know if its worth popping home at lunchtime and see if they've left me a card.
[Desire HD General] SupremeBeaver:
i ordered on the 18th october :(
[Desire HD General] @home:
Mine's just landed now - The box is sat on my desk @ work & I'm gonna have a look at it later - But it's here - Get In There!!
[Desire HD General] abrasive:
I have a general question. When you start your Android phone for the first time, can you choose what language you want it to be in, or is it set to a specific language? I'm thinking of ordering it from the Netherlands, but I want the OS to be in English.
[Desire HD General] ardsar:
Handtec usually send the dispatch notice after 6pm, but can be as late as 9pm.
[Desire HD General] s32bauer:
Phones4U are testing my patience!

I'm in the same situation. Spoke to two people yesterday, one in the morning and one in the afternoon. Both people told me that it had been sent yesterday morning, and that I should receive it this morning. Both, however, were unable to give me a tracking number for the parcel.

This morning, I wake to an email sent at 7.10am advising that my order has been completed, and will be sent this evening. I was not impressed, so contacted P4U. The person I spoke with 'insists' that it was sent yesterday by Royal Mail Special Delivery, and apologises that I received the email that I did. He was also, however, unable to provide me with a tracking number.

I really don't feel like I'm trusting what they say. Which begs the question whether it will actually be GSM stock like they said as well!
[Desire HD General] FernandoMiguel:
i ordered mine at 1 Oct, paid for on the 4th.

Expansys still says 22 of Oct, thats TODAY... so i better ring them up and DEMAND them to ship the damn thing ASAP.

tired of waiting
[Desire HD General] eboni:
Right behind you mate
[Desire HD General] Eurks:
Update on P4U order I got a dispatched email at 4am! But yesterday they told me it was dispatched yesterday morning, not making much sense :s
