I'm not going to even START going that way, since it would quickly get out of control.

In any case, was this a reference to the following?

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g05tYYSA5as
[Desire HD General] ardsar:
handtec have updated the date to week commencing 18th Oct.
[Desire HD General] stiefa00:
Sorry, our proxy server at work breaks my balls :eek: if there is a youtube link. I cant watch it :p
[Desire HD General] Chimero:
YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaYYYYYYYYYYYYYY ME LIKE!!!!!
[Desire HD General] jhenrikj:
According to HTC in Sweden, DHD is already available in UK. Nobody noticed that? ;=)
[Desire HD General] adwinp:
It was a reference to a song by Mum: The ballad of the broken birdie records

;]

btw, you can always use still, another proxy (provided, that yours at work is only filtering urls, not content), or you can download the video via the youtube ripping sites like savevid or the like.
[Desire HD General] superdaddy:
Where would people say the best place to order this phone from sim free???

**First Post*** can't remember my old account lol.
[Desire HD General] liorra3:
handtec on the 18th, clove and expansys are with same date, i think that

amm Hallelujah people - we will have it next week - that is it ! :D
[Desire HD General] abrasive:
I wonder if HTC in the UK says the same thing about Sweden? :p

Nice name btw.
[Desire HD General] Jellzy:
On the phone to T-Mobile (UK) last night and there guessing that they will get it around the 2nd week of November... :(

Might just be covering their ass though.
[Desire HD General] s32bauer:
Shocking isn't it. Last night when I spoke to them they advised they already had it in-stock, but due to demand it might take up to ten days for delivery. Glad I didn't order it from them now!

Have just been in to my local Phones4U store in Cambridge, and they reckon they will be getting it Saturday, if not Friday. Guess we'll wait and see!
[Desire HD General] Craptastical:
I just noticed that El Giganten here in Sweden pushed the date back to October 26. It's hard to say if they changed the date because the number of devices they originally ordered are spoken for via the pre-orders, or if they're just updating the date since they have more accurate information now.

I'm still hoping to have mine by the beginning of next week, but somehow I doubt that will be the case :P
[Desire HD General] badaas:
Delayed due to it failing Google quality assurance tests for the Androis OS :(

WHY wait til the last minute! I have no phone now for 3 weeks!!!
[Desire HD General] ardsar:
As long as it gets delivered in October, it is NOT late.

Will poeple stop going on about this!
[Desire HD General] stiefa00:
ahhh savevid ... a site like this is new to me. I'll give it a try.

Anotherway is to use something like anonymouse.org, but in our citrix environment there is IE6 and no flash :D

I'll watch this video @ home!
[Desire HD General] crossbox:
Sooooooo glad T-Mobile refused to sell to me (morons) - bring on the 18th (providing handtec are right)

[Desire HD General] ardsar:
its week commencing the 18th - so could be 22nd.
[Desire HD General] turkification:
Agreed. HTC said October, and they said it again few days ago.
[Desire HD General] liorra3:
yep, it doesn't matter for me, the 18,19 or 22th :D
[Desire HD General] abrasive:
I just spoke to komplett.se, they get the phones directly from HTC and the latest word is, according to the guy I spoke to, October 21, which they've always stated.
[Desire HD General] BartOtten:
KPN HI in the Netherpands was stable until now. They changed it from 22 october to 1 november. Bummerrrrrrr
[Desire HD General] liorra3:
you are lucky, coz in israel we have only one official distributor of htc, and he is SUKS!

in good case we will get the desire hd in a 8-9 month from now and with double price (LOL), that

is the reason why nokia, apple sony and samsung rules here and htc have very weak selling.

the good thing that we can buy all over the world and get it in good price and fast.
[Desire HD General] abrasive:
Buy it online then?
[Desire HD General] gcd:
You're luckier than us. we can't even buy from other countries :D

and same about the distributor...
[Desire HD General] eozen81:
How can he buy it online while amazon.com (which is maybe the only online and trustworthy company) does not ship it to Israel or anywhere outside Europe? If there is a way, I can do it as well since I am from Turkey :)
[Desire HD General] ardsar:
Try handtec.co.uk - they ship abroad.
[Desire HD General] crossbox:
Yeah well whatever - it's still October ;)

HTC Desire HD To Launch October 22nd On Vodafone - Source - T3
[Desire HD General] StCory:
Handtec have updated to STOCK UPDATE: EXPECTED WEEK COMMENCING 18TH OCT YAY !!! getting closer !:D
[Desire HD General] liorra3:
its so easy, there is lot of stores that ship to israel, like clove, expansys, handtec and even ebay,

the good thing is that we dont pay VAT to uk, but if the customs, get it, will pay the israeli VAT

16% from the cost of the phone - in uk.

ps. order from clove.
[Desire HD General] superdaddy:
Are Clove and Handtec reliable places to purchase this phone from, as I have never ordered from them before.
[Desire HD General] kingcedz:
anyone got any updates from superetrader?
[Desire HD General] BartOtten:
And now it's up to the 12th of november. Way to gooooo, giving no infoooo
[Desire HD General] liorra3:
dono about handtec, but clove are super reliable places, i can guess that all of the big stores that work directly with htc are reliable.
[Desire HD General] Bumble-Bee:
Yesterday they said by the 29th but they will get the phone whenever anyone else does so we wont be left out :D
[Desire HD General] oawalker:
Strange carphone warehouse says they have it in stock but only on contract

http://www.carphonewarehouse.com/buy/HTC-DESIRE-HD-TGBVT-FCON
[Desire HD General] Wafster:
Are you the same dude that makes reviews on Youtube
[Desire HD General] abrasive:
Weehoo good news in a jealous way...
[Desire HD General] kcris22:
Yesterday was in stock??? Possible false availability information??
[Desire HD General] SupremeBeaver:
haha im subbed to your channel!
[Desire HD General] oawalker:
Lool yea that's me
[Desire HD General] liorra3:
ARE YOU READY - NEXT WEEK - ITS COME! REALLY !

clove update the stock to:

"Limited stock expected week ending 22/10, more expected early November"
[Desire HD General] jkoljo:
I ordered from Handtec a few moments ago, and actually spoke to Handtec salesperson and HTC support guy before ordering.

BOTH of them said that the Desire HD WILL BE AVAILABLE NEXT WEEK!
[Desire HD General] cd993:
Just rang them and her words were "its been like this for a few weeks....its in stock........its at the warehouse but not come in yet......have a huge orders could take couple weeks or a month"

Vague information from them so Ill keep my order with MobilePhonesDirect with T-Mobile, much better value for me!
[Desire HD General] madindehead:
Well, the Carphone Warehouse stock earlier said pre-order! Maybe it is in stock. Woo! Time for a phone call.

Update: Ok. It's coming into stock with them in the warehouse. But they don't know when it will be getting released to stores. And quite a few will already be taken up. Wish HTC would ramp up manufacturing before release :p
[Desire HD General] oawalker:
lool they said it will be available next week
[Desire HD General] madindehead:
That makes me very happy :D
[Desire HD General] Wafster:
I feel ripped off by Amazon, its more expensive and they are still sticking with mid-nov dates :mad:
[Desire HD General] Purplizer:
Marc Moons, director of HTC Benelux, told the press today at an htclive event that the device would be in Dutch/Belgian shops early next week.
[Desire HD General] Chimero:
My worry is that I will not be included in the first batch that goes out of Handtec (I ordered on the 5th of October) provided they do not get their stipulated stock.

That will surely piss me off :(
[Desire HD General] Eddie1506:
September 17th here :)
[Desire HD General] Axiol:
If it's realy this date, what about Amazon :/ Still mid-November -_-
[Desire HD General] kingcedz:
The ones on amazon is sold by Superetrader, they must have gotten their date from superetrader too.

Superetrader's own website says mid-late oct. No idea what is reliable.
[Desire HD General] stiefa00:
I like electronic beats, but a little bit faster! :p

So do I. Last week with iPhone 3G ! STRIKE BABY!!!! :cool:
[Desire HD General] Semi666:
CZ

Vodafone Czech Republic told me that release date in Czech Republic should be 18.10 2010.. will see :)
[Desire HD General] BartOtten:
However, the suppliers still don't have a final date. As said earlier, Hi changed their date in one day from 22okt -> 1 nov -> 12 nov.

They say it is because of delay with their supplier (read: HTC)
[Desire HD General] abrasive:
I choose to trust Moons more than the customer service from retailers. They employes there might not be very updated, or they say that date to be on the sure side. There are many aspects...

All online stores in Sweden that gives a date says 21st or 26th.
[Desire HD General] telnet05:
Clove has the habbit to change the date at the very last moment.
[Desire HD General] emperor007:
Hey guys can some one tell me where can i buy the Desire HD in London ? thank you.
[Desire HD General] liorra3:
yep, i can guess that it will be the same with the DHD.

now? you canot, reat the thread before posting...
[Desire HD General] emperor007:
yeh i know, i mean when it will be available in the stores(11 Oct), because i have a friend that will be in London between 12-17 Oct and he can buy it for me.

Thank you.
[Desire HD General] liorra3:
for now the 12-17 its the stock in date, but we canot make sure that it will stay the same, there can be delay...
[Desire HD General] riz157:
I don't think it will be available in stores on that date. More likely end of the month before stores have stock of this handset.

You're best bet would be if you know anyone in London to purchase it for you online and pay them (online will be getting stock first) Then your friend can pickup between 11-17th that is if you are that desperate to purchase by the 17th.
[Desire HD General] emperor007:
Thank you i think that this what i'm gonna do but the problem that i don't know any online/real shops in London that i can purchase it from if any one of you know's such stores can you post a link to the shop or write its name.

Thank you.

[Desire HD General] liorra3:
clove is still on the oc 6 of the DHD, mybe they will be the first ?
[Desire HD General] :
Handtec is week commencing the 4th still, so it could be anytime this week.... Even tomorrow;)))

JD
[Desire HD General] liorra3:
hope so :D
[Desire HD General] KaidM:
Hi Guys

I spoke to Clove this morning (11:40) and they state that they expect to receive first shipment still on the 6th October.

They are normally advised on quantity shipped the day before so lets see.

They did inform me that quantities will be limited.

Hope this helps.
[Desire HD General] isaw:
SuperETrader now has theirs listed as Oct 11th, so it's now been pushed.

Wonder how many others will follow suit..?
[Desire HD General] phunkycow:
Maybe the change in dates in some of the websites has to do with the fact that their first batch of devices is already sold out (preorders), later date = next batch for the preorders to follow.

For example expansys.com lists 17th October as the date, while expansys.com.gr (the greek equivalent) still has the same date posted (11th of October). Same thing with other countries. Some show 17th, some 11th.

All speculations ofcourse. Maybe they just neglected updating their site with the new dates. Who knows. Hopefully there wont be any delays. :)
[Desire HD General] riz157:
Spoke to mobilphonesdirect.com this morning who informed me they are now delivering within 10 working days from today. Anyone who preordered last week will be getting theirs on the 7th!! If that's true then I should be getting mine on thursday.:)

They have not recieved any update on any delays from HTC so sounds promising.
[Desire HD General] liorra3:
"few days" - from clove blog:
[Desire HD General] ardsar:
But there website has changed to week beginning 11th Oct.
[Desire HD General] SupremeBeaver:
like someone suggested on top of me, that is probably the second wave of stock due on 11th. But the first wave should be this week.
[Desire HD General] dazultra2000:
Aww man and I'm away on business on Thursday! Damn! I ordered mine on the 16th, so should be pretty early in the list for them!
[Desire HD General] liorra3:
AUA. i hope that they have first (oc 6) and second (oc 11) stock...

BTW, we will get it soon, how mach ? dono but soon :)

edit, nop...

"First stock due week beginning the 11th October"
[Desire HD General] kingkeld:
Telmore in Denmark says week 43. I hope they are right. :)
[Desire HD General] Leekster:
i popped into the local t-mobile shop this morning the assistant had no firm date just said they expect it in the next few weeks. phones4u said early to mid november.

either the guys in the shops are poorly informed or the shops are getting their stock a lolate, perhaps due to distribution from their main warehouses etc
[Desire HD General] dazultra2000:
New email from MobilePhonesDirect:

Dear Customer

Your new HTC Desire HD!

The latest information regarding your delivery has not changed - ‘we are still expecting to be able to fulfil your order by the end of October’.

This will have no impact on you being one of the first customers to receive this amazing new phone!

There is no need to call us, we promise to update you with further information next week.

Kind regards
[Desire HD General] stiefa00:
I'm not a amazon employee! BUT:

Amazon is 469,99 and with shipping to Germany I pay 481,xx.

The 489,99 or 499,99 offer is not provided by amazon. It is provided by superetrader on amazon market place.

And about the date..... be sure... if the phone is available... amazon will have some of them! It its Amazon, not a "Tante-Emma-Laden". :p

Amazon.de is very very fast and good, so why should amazon.co.uk suxx? o_O

Stay cool, Amazon will bring us our baby, too! ;)
[Desire HD General] SupremeBeaver:
i preordered from Amazon UK. It lists the price as 469.99 pounds. But for some reason when i purchased it they took off 10 pounds so now im paying 459.99 + 6 for shipping.

So for 466.99 i think i got a great deal, and im living abroad too!

Just off the phone to mobiles.co.uk to give them my pac and they said their stock will be in tomorrow morning and i will have it on Saturday :D
[Desire HD General] MarkieSA:
8GB class 2 card which is not what this phone deserves, you need to buy a class 6 card. I will be taking that free 8GB card and using it for something else.
[Desire HD General] bloke:
Thats weird as I just spoke to my supplier, Micro-P in the UK and they say that they have been told that HTC have delayed it till the start of NOV... im not sure who is right anymore, I will just have to wait as im buying it through my company

Bloke
[Desire HD General] Beards:
You don't need a Class 6 card in your phone.

I have both a Sandisk 16GB UltraMobile Class 4 (which operates faster than a lot of standard Class 6 cards) & a Sandisk 32GB Class 2.

Inside the phone both operate the same. They can both save/load files and play video without any issues.

It's only when you use it as a USB hard drive will you notice any speed differences.
[Desire HD General] abrasive:
Well, well know about that tomorrow then.

HTC must be feeling rather good with their products now. 40 pages in a thread just about rumours about when a phone will be in stock. :)
[Desire HD General] MariusOX:
I got a confirmation from a local store that they would get it in store tomorrow (15th rOctober). I'v ordered mine and hopefully my boss got it with him on monday:D
[Desire HD General] oawalker:
Which store??
[Desire HD General] MariusOX:
uhm. Im in norway:P

The store is called "Telemix" btw. and as far as i know its the only store they got. The guy that works there also fixed us up with the iPhone 4 and the iPad way before the Norwegian release.
[Desire HD General] eozen81:
Then you are probably the one who will have a fully-completed purchase for HTC Desire HD pal, keep us posted, we are looking forward to seeing your photo smiling with device coming out of the shop :p
[Desire HD General] MariusOX:
As I said i will probably not have it until monday, and of course you'll get a pic IF i in fact get it by that time.

Edit: not only a pic. I'll get you guys a video with me and the phone.
[Desire HD General] eddyrick:
Not sure how many of you are waiting for Orange but....

h t t p : //i13.photobucket.com/albums/a271/Danno_uk/DesireHD. png

My concern is that it isn't mentioned anywhere on Phone Coming Soon on shop.orange.co.uk

Any Thoughts?
[Desire HD General] dazultra2000:
I wouldn't be too concerned. I got my TyTNII from Orange before most of their CS people even knew about it!
[Desire HD General] Linnyuk:
What did it show? image now gone. I phoned Orange earlier and they said they had no plans to get it.

Email from Handtec confirmin week comencing 18th ....

plus they will be receiving enough stock to cover pre-orders made thus far !!!
[Desire HD General] riz157:
Just spoke to t-mobile expecting delivery on the 23rd October.:rolleyes:
[Desire HD General] MiKA7:
Dude where in Norway?? It is a big country:P
[Desire HD General] eddyrick:
copy and paste the link and join the letters back up.

It shows that Orange will be having the DHD on week 43 (w/c 18th Oct)
[Desire HD General] Linnyuk:
Cheers. I had missed the space at the end.
[Desire HD General] abrasive:
Nah, Norway is a small country ;p
[Desire HD General] stiefa00:
The women in Norway are more sexy than those in .se :p
[Desire HD General] MariusOX:
No its rather small:P

Mo i Rana;) A small city some south of Bodø;)

Sweden isn't much bigger:P
[Desire HD General] abrasive:
I don't like blondies so doesn't matter :p

I know, but the fact that it is bigger gives me the right to bully you a bit :D
[Desire HD General] liorra3:
YESS - i ask and now i got the confirmation mail from clove that im "one of the privileged ones who will a Desire HD from our first batch" :D
[Desire HD General] liorra3:
Belgium -i find that on the web, that is another confirmation will come next week:
[Desire HD General] ironjaw:
Just visited a local Vodafone store here in Belfast, was shown an email received today that if you were to preorder a Desire HD today, you'd have it in your hand on the 22nd October.

:D Nice - except I have mine preordered through Amazon, with a expected delivery date mid November :(
[Desire HD General] abrasive:
Damnit, my girlfriend travels back from Belgium on Sunday :(
[Desire HD General] Leekster:
just signed up for and tweeted T-mobiles customer help dept, which from what Ive heard is more reliable than ringing their customer services and theyve said via direct msg:

"Hi Phil, we should be releasing the Desire HD on Monday so you should be able to upgrade then. Thanks"

so my question is come monday do i ring upgrades at 8.30 or wait and head to the nearest T-mobile store and hope they have one sitting waiting for me at 9.30?
[Desire HD General] Rixsta:
Why not do both ;)
[Desire HD General] Chimero:
YaaY!!!! How reliable are handtec when it comes to statements. This is the first time I'm dealing with them.
[Desire HD General] Leekster:
how? If i order over the phone then surely my account will show that and i wont be able to do anything in store and have to wait until its delivered
[Desire HD General] eddyrick:
On t-mobile website it states that the phone is available to order now except the delivery time is up to 10days

So if you can, wait unitil Monday and go into store.. failing that ring them as soon as you leave the store :D
[Desire HD General] Leekster:
the orders theyre taking atm is only for new customers, renewals arent doing anything until mon which annoys me, where the customer loyalty.

Anyways, back on topic, good thinking about the delivery lead time, 10days is a long wait. off to the store i go on monday then
[Desire HD General] riz157:
Just remember you get better deals online then in store.

Chat Transcript

info: You are about to be connected to a new connection sales advisor for T-Mobile UK. Please note they do not have access to existing customer details and cannot process upgrades or queries related to an existing T-Mobile account. If you have a query of this nature please contact customer services on 0845 412 5000 or 150 from a T-Mobile handset..

info: You are now connected with Angela.

Angela: Hi there, my name is Angela. I am part of the dedicated T-Mobile Online Sales Team. How can I help you with your new order?

Angela: Hello

Rizwan: Yes I'm interested in HTC desire HD handset when is to be launched?

Rizwan: Hello Angela

Angela: the phone has already been launched

Rizwan: Are you sure about that? If it is already launched when can I get it?

Angela: The phone is FREE from £40 a month

Angela: You'll receive the phone within 10 working days

Rizwan: So you actually have it in stock?

Angela: That's correct

Rizwan: But I called your sales team and they advised me this is not in stock, please explain which is correct?

Angela: The phone is ready to order online

Angela: So you can place your order online

Rizwan: confusing?

Angela: There is no such confusion

Rizwan: so its not in stock at the moment.

Angela: The phone is in stock

Angela: Would you like to place your order now?

Rizwan: yes I would but why are your sales team advising me its not. Please clear this matter.

Angela: I'll unable to comment on that

Angela: I can only confirm you about the online stock.
[Desire HD General] s32bauer:
They have no idea do they. I spoke to T-Mobile using their online chat and was also told the phone was in stock, and the 10 day delay was to allow time for the back orders to be cleared first. When I call T-Mobile they tell me the beginning of November.

I think it's the same with anywhere. Someone else on the forum said that Phones4U advised 22nd October, however I was told in store yesterday that it will be tomorrow or Saturday.

I don't think anyone has any idea, and I'm not taking any release dates online or over the phone as confirmation. I'll believe it's out when I'm actually shown them in store!
[Desire HD General] liorra3:
grr jest email with clove, first stock will be at the 22th...
