As i see... HTC 7 Trophy is already on market all over the Europe and there is nothing about DHD. Is this another "iPhone 4" story....come oooon...
[Desire HD General] bigsi100:
Yeah - £495. Worth it for me - I was getting too narked about my order. The fact it was so easy (phoned up store to see if in stock, confirmed sim-free, reserved straight away) made it easier...
[Desire HD General] mousey_:
Just got the call from Orange Upgrades and I'm getting my Desire HD tomorrow.

I'm keeping my current 12 month contract and upping the data to a 1 GB so £40 a month.

This works out at £480 for the year as it's a free upgrade :)
[Desire HD General] Riceburner:
Thanks!! ;)
[Desire HD General] LtdEdFred:
Which CarPhoneWH was this? Is the phone available in most stores these days? I've asked in loads of stores and everyone keeps telling me "by the end of this month", but it's been a few days since I've asked.

Do any of you know if a retailer has one powered up so that you may try it or can you request them to?
[Desire HD General] latte33:
It is not £25 to me... it is £50.

I order through online retailer and it cost £441.... but have to wait till next tuesday:mad:
[Desire HD General] mwright:
Just rang them back on spec - and I got one being delivered Friday!

The only strange thing is that all the ones they have currently are the "chocolate" ones. I hope I like it.
[Desire HD General] SW7:
Wow! You got a great deal! At least you know you'll get it next Tuesday. I'll have mine on ...... God knows when....:(
[Desire HD General] avenge the rage:
Orange called and they have it. Getting it Friday from them
[Desire HD General] x0xRIFLEMANx0x:

[Desire HD General] vrgngns:

[Desire HD General] noobdeagle:
well they got their last stock last friday i would expect the next lot to go our this friday at the earliest or possibly nov 1st. im hoping its dispatched this Friday so i get it next week tho :P
[Desire HD General] PhoenixAG:
If anyone wants one, the CPW at Westfield, London has a whole bunch of them sim free for 494.99 pounds.

Sent an email to cancel off my Expansys order, and just bought it from a US seller in Ebay... For 780 USD... A bit more expensive, but I am sick of waiting already...
[Desire HD General] mousey_:
Orange/DPD text me this morning.

The Desire HD will be with me between 13:03 and 14:03. I cannot wait
[Desire HD General] luckyguy82:
waiting, waiting and waiting...................... and got this email from clove:mad:

We would like to update you regarding the supply situation on the HTC Desire HD. As with many of the recent HTC launches the demand has been very strong and the supply has been both poor and subject to change in dates.

We therefore wish to try and advise of the current situation as best we can.

We have already had a shipment of machines which has been despatched. A further shipment which was due on the 26th should now be with us the week commencing the 1st November. We expect this to clear all orders up to the end of September and perhaps into early October orders, subject to the volume we receive.

We are then told the next shipment, which should be larger, should arrive on about the 8th November. This should clear a large number of backorders for October - we would estimate to ship orders placed up to approx the 20th October.

Further stock is then due in November but until this is confirmed it is really difficult to predict dates.

We appreciate your patience in this situation which is very difficult and frustrating for all of us. Remember we are very keen to ship your order as soon as we can. We will keep the website updated with regard to shipping dates as best we can and also send further emails to you as the situation changes.

When your Desire HD ships you will receive despatch notification (including your package tracking number) by email. Due to the current situation we are getting a very high number of email enquiries requesting specific delivery dates on individual orders which we cannot confirm. We respectfully ask you not to reply to this email as we are unable to give any further details at the moment.

The Clove Technology Sales Team.

[Desire HD General] FernandoMiguel:
Got mine from Expansys.pt/SEUR.

I must say this is the FASTEST and SMOOTHEST thing i've ever used. even iphone4 and Galaxy Tab.

itssss so fast, it managed to install all my app via appbrain, faster then i could pick them :D

Got read of Sense launcher, put ADW, temp root busybox, and everything is rocking now.

Just need to get someone to maintain CyanogenMOD for it :D
[Desire HD General] Chimero:
Hi, I have serious doubts on whether Handtec will be receiving their shipment this week. They seem to be a bit on the evasive side with this weeks delivery.

I would love to get my hands on the DHD like rt now. Could anyone please redirect me to any website that is selling the DHD sim free and will be ready to ship overseas?

Appreciate the efforts.
[Desire HD General] sromer:
Damn, i ordered mine on the 21st so i think i'll be waiting a while

How to Cancel order from Clove

hi,

would you please advice how to cancel an order from Clove?
[Desire HD General] latte33:
At least you still have email update of your order.

I order through MobileFun but they keep on changed their date of dispatch and no email update (unless you ask them)....

Hate waiting...:mad:

MobilePhonesDirect PreOrder Issue..Can't trust them

I've cancelled my order with MPD just 30 minutes before. (helping those poor souls who still believe in MPD and queing there).

Ordered mine with Mobiles.co.uk (free phone + £50.00 Quidco) for the same deal on 26th October 10:00 PM. got it delivered today at 11:00 AM...

Hats off mobiles.co.uk.

T-Mobile UK Getting The DesireHD This Month

Any T-Mobile UK Users waiting to upgrade to the Desire HD it seems t-mobile are expecting it in stock by the end of the month.

http://www.t-mobile.co.uk/shop/coming-soon/htc-desire-hd/

Woop :D Things are moving again :D

P.S.

There seems to be the same confusion with the internal memory in the HD as the G2....... T-Mobile states 1.5GB and Vodaphone say 4GB ...... Its mor than likely be more near the 1.5GB like the G2

:cool::eek::cool:
[Desire HD General] liorra3:
great news! i think and sure that all of us (sim free) will get in until the end of the month :D

p.s, clove us: here is "What's in the box of the HTC Desire HD?"

* HTC Desire HD

* Battery

* USB Cable

* Mains Charger

* 8GB MicroSD Card

* Stereo Headset

* Documentation
[Desire HD General] Alize:
Just spoke to vodafone to convert my contract to sim-only in preparation for when I buy my DHD outright and asked out of curiosity about the release date, guy on the phone said the date has JUST been changed to end of November!

Not sure if that just applies to Vodafone (I hope so).
[Desire HD General] Axiol:
Amazon also change the date for 15 November, but the shiping date for mine is still for the 13 October :/
[Desire HD General] Bumble-Bee:
LOL

It still looks like the retailers have NO idea what is going on :eek:

So im gunna sit tight :-D

//Hopes for Oct realease//
[Desire HD General] guinnes.s:
just been to carphonewarehouse, on their inshop magazine it say today the 10th,but the Guy told me to check tomorrow. Lol
[Desire HD General] Bumble-Bee:
if its the 10th then ill be very very happy !
[Desire HD General] abrasive:
Today is the 10th, and it's a Sunday.

It seems like no one knows, not even HTCs director for the Benelux area since he said on Twitter that he expects it to be delivered by the end of the next week. In Sweden no stores have changed their delivery date, exept for one that completely removed it. Reguarding orders on Amazon my guess is that they don't update the date for orders that are already placed during the weekends.
[Desire HD General] liorra3:
dono, i didnt have any expectation for tomorrow.

all the sim free dhd will release on the same time and will be available at all uk stores, when ? that is the million $ question, probably next week...
[Desire HD General] slateac:
Are the carriers affect by the testing delay?

I am still confused about different retailers having various release dates some say they are delayed upto November, some the end of October.
[Desire HD General] abrasive:
I'm starting to think that it's delayed due to the launch of Windows Phone 7 tomorrow.
[Desire HD General] LecterMe:
Well its not delayed yet. Release is october, so plenty time left :)
[Desire HD General] Bumble-Bee:
Basicaly carries talk more to HTC so they have a better idea of dates ect. im thninking if the carriers say the will get the DHD 18th-22nd we will get them that week too :D

but TBH i dont think anyone knows :-D
[Desire HD General] abrasive:
Stop being so positive :p
[Desire HD General] willk22:

Kind regards

Nick

Orange Online Services

mid november :mad: I want my upgrade!!!
[Desire HD General] turkification:
If it's delayed until november, im gonna be a saaaaaaad panda :(
[Desire HD General] Leekster:
I phoned T-mobile mid last week and according to the woman on the other end of the phone in the upgrades dept, the release date shown on their systems is the 18th.
[Desire HD General] v-b-n:
Update : HTC Hub is now accessible from the web...we must be getting closer :)
[Desire HD General] liorra3:
yep... Availability: Estimated 8 Days at expansys!

im sure that we will see the device on the market until the end of the month, and even so, we will see them even in the next week :D
[Desire HD General] olivierlee:
On their website, at top right, choose My Account. Log in using your email and password. The first page should show you your orders. There should be an option to cancel. I would also send them an email just to make sure.
[Desire HD General] hatemk:
I think you need to speak/email clove for that
[Desire HD General] Lunatictz:
wow am i pissed at handtec, pre ordered just before the start of october, and they contacted me On the day they was suppose to ship, and asked for confirmation, ID, proof i was staying in uk and crap, i was thinking, why couldnt they ask me earlier, i sent them that, guess what? they said Not enough info, and asked for the bank statement and ect, i gave them that, and now its like what~ 28th?? and they just CANCELLED my order, and will be giving me a refund in 4 days time.... so...yeah...wth?

So yeah screw that for wasting my time, false hope for getting first shipment

So i want to ask you all, should i order from eXpansys or clove?
[Desire HD General] latte33:
If u stay at UK and willing to pay more, i suggest you walk in to Carphone Warehouse and pay for £494.99.

They have a lot stock...
[Desire HD General] Chimero:
Damn!!! that would piss me off for sure. Wonder what is going on there. Tried contacting their online representative and after a few tries, just got pissed and phoned them.

Got one of their representatives and he told me he was 90% sure that they will be receiving the phone for the second batch tomorrow, however he also told me that in the worst case scenario the shipping will occur on TUESDAY of the next week.

I have found them reasonable to deal with. Too bad this happened brother, my heart goes out to you. I can imagine how it might feel to be denied just due to some stupid documentation especially when you are constantly looking out of the window for your baby to arrive.
[Desire HD General] hatemk:
When did you put your order with them?
[Desire HD General] Chimero:
The order was placed on the 5th of October.
[Desire HD General] Lunatictz:
still dam ticked off, ordered from expansys and HOPING it would be a better experience, =.=. Anyone have a slight idea when i might be getting this stock? u know just for my mind to be mentally prepared, not like handtec ( yes i just wont let them go yet LOL)!

Thing is currently out of country, soooo yeah, i am one desperate SoB haha!
[Desire HD General] stiefa00:
I've canceled my handtec preorder.

hardwareversand.de offers desire hd for €515 (if you go to their webseite over idealo.de) they will get it in stock on 3th november. maybe they will have delays, too... but preodering from UK was a way to get it earlier. now it doesn't matter any more. :(

BTW: if samsung is announcing the nexus 2 on 8th november I will give the desire hd back and stay with my laggy iPhone 3G until it is available in germany. :eek: I'm now happy that my desire hd come that late. :)

[Desire HD General] LtdEdFred:
Does this apply to any CPWH? When I asked about the phone at one in Oxford Street (London) she told me it'd only be available on contract. When I asked her as to where I would be able to get one she said I had to go online... Uninformed salesperson?
[Desire HD General] latte33:
You can order online and collect from the shop or go to any shop.

My friend grab it from the CPWH yesterday....
[Desire HD General] mousey_:
My Phone arrived today from Orange Upgrades :)

It's currently charging and waiting for the SIM to register (apparently it takes 2 hours).

Nice things so far is there is no Orange branding on the phone what so ever, no little symbol on the back, no splash screen and no Orange customizations from the software side.

It looks beautiful as well
[Desire HD General] mwright:
Hmm - interesting. When I spoke to a rep on Tuesday, he said that the phones had arrived and would need to go through customisation which takes several days per batch before being released. Then when I called on Wednesday - I get told that they are available. Wonder if some slipped through without being customised?

Please let us know if it seems to have any of the problems mentioned elsewhere (proximity sensor, strange gaps in the case etc)

Also, is it the black or the "chocolate" version?

Regards

Mike
[Desire HD General] mswlim:
Certain in a city like London, I agree. It only took me half an hour of ringing around to get one from the a Three store on high street for 449.99. Maybe I got lucky, but if a store doesn't have one in stock, find out which days they get their deliveries
[Desire HD General] sonic3tech:
handtec just updated their DHD info.

Apparently the 2nd batch is in customs.... but should be arriving to Handtec on the 1st/2nd

Awesome, more delays /sarcasm
[Desire HD General] prank1:
And they said it would arrive sometime this week... Well at least we have got a more definite date - and a free bluetooth headset (although I would have preferred a £34.00 discount on the Desire HD).
[Desire HD General] sonic3tech:
exactly. One of the first times they have given a date.

Handtec do have pretty good customer service IMO. At least they've let us know instead of saying it should arrive 'soon'
[Desire HD General] adwinp:
I couldn't wait to start having a crack at root/recovery, and just walked into a shop today.

Paid ~490 quid.

Preordered with Handtec on the 1st of October, but got disappointed with the service.

I can understand a 2 week delay (as permissible by law), but not a whole damn month.

The whole point of pre-ordering is to get the item BEFORE the shops, otherwise, what the f***?

I will STILL get my Handtec unit, but will resell it as fast as I get it.
[Desire HD General] mousey_:
It is the chocolate version of the phone, although it's the same colour as the back of my Hero not a hint of brown on the phone.

I've not got any gaps, I thinki it's a case of aligning the covers up carefully when you put them back on and not had the proximity issue, but then not called anyone yet as I'm waiting for the sim to register
[Desire HD General] NoEnd:
i'm really mad from Handtec :S how the hell a company ordered a number of phones and the tell us they dont know how much they are going to get :S!!! Are they afraid of losing customers?? they are going to lose me for sure :SSSSSSSS
[Desire HD General] slateac:
Not to be off topic, but apparently a Nexus Two is going to be announced, it will also be exclusive to Best Buy/Carphone Warehouse/Phonehouse chain before christmas

this is may put me off buying a DHD,

http://gizmodo.com/5675727/rumor-nexus-two-will-be-announced-november-8th

http://www.t3.com/news/samsung-google-nexus-two-coming-november-8th?=50381
[Desire HD General] mwright:
I would not blame Handtec. I suspect pretty much every dealer has got less than they ordered because they all ordered huge numbers of handsets. I would guess HTC have had to "ration" them a bit?
[Desire HD General] abrasive:
Greate, just got a mail from Komplett.se saying that the phone is delayed to 15th of November and that it could get even more delayed. Seriosly, what the heck?!
[Desire HD General] Fif23:
HTC is acting like a custom hot rod company... What the hell ? Who announces a device and then makes 4 units a day ? lol. HIRE SOME MORE WORKERS OR QUIT
[Desire HD General] abrasive:
Yeah, I agree. I'm also pissed that I ordered the phone from Swedish stores. If I had bought it from the UK I'd have it in my hands right now. I booked it in mid September. I'm so tired of this. Few days ago I had lost my hope, then yesterday stores started stating 3rd and 5th of November, today I get a fist for getting my hopes up saying it's delayed with atleast 10 days. No stores in Sweden has even had the phone in stock Once. God damnit HTC, make an announcement about this! They've even got an office in Sweden, but only word I had from them was one week ago saying "we don't know". Btw, took me half a day to find out how to contact the Swedish office. Might be me being bad with searching though.
[Desire HD General] scotia_rfc:
LOL, they need to start an overtime shift.
[Desire HD General] ramadanatt:
Hey guys

i decided to sell mine and buy the nokia n8

any one wanna buy my dhd send me private message

my dhd used for 2 days ( it is the replacement one)

because i replaced my frist one after having the proximity issue

this one is working perfect. But honestly i didn't like the camera or the screen.

The head set is never used.

I got it for £449 and used for two days and will sell it for £400

i live in leicesetr -uk

just to help those who couldn't get the phone.

And if until tomorrow no one is interested then i'm gonna sell to a shop.
[Desire HD General] abrasive:
I'm interested, but I live in Sweden :p
[Desire HD General] havoc99:
Guys, just to update. I cancelled my Handtec order on Tuesday and was refunded today. For those who asked previously.
[Desire HD General] chrisn0123:
Cancelled my order with Handtec too. Staff were helpful and I know its not their fault.. but had enough of unknown stocking dates. I had to relist my old Desire on ebay 3 times so I wasnt without a phone.

Called my local Carphonewarehouse and phones4u stores.. Carphonewarehouse had 1 left, so reserved and popped over within an hour to buy it. All up and running with a desire hd.. paid about £17 more than Handtec after cashback on amex.
[Desire HD General] Chimero:
Were the staff at handtec able to tell you when the next batch was expected to arrive? When did u place your order?

One thing that I have noticed here is that whoever has gone to pick up a DHD from CPW or P4U were informed that there is only one in stock. Could this just be a sales trick to make u run as fast as u can to the shop? I do think so.

I do understand HTC's tactics of releasing a small batch into the market to test it real time and to identify if there are any problems in the device. Its better than mass recalls. Also, the pressure from phone companies are just too great. Not everyone will be able to afford sim-free phones and they were also able to land people who could afford sim free phones by making them impatient. We are just walking into their trap.

Hopefully will get my phone by the end of next week. This waiting just does not end.
[Desire HD General] LtdEdFred:
Great tip. I am now a happy owner of a Desire HD. Bought it in the CPWH at Moorgate. The salesman said that they had 4 left if anyone is in the area looking to pick this one up.
[Desire HD General] Pulverizer:
I will PM to you.:)
[Desire HD General] squalllion1uk:
SuperEtrader should have second batch in tommorow so hopefully get mines bu saturday or monday .....I think I shall start praying the now :(
[Desire HD General] Uck761:
hey, u should update the info in the first page, the T-mobile stores in UK haven't yet got any stock! and one of the assistants told me there won't be any intill november.

I don't understand why they use different system between online services and stores, due to the address problems i can't complete any offer online and can't do the credit check in stores if they don't have stock. That is horrible!
[Desire HD General] stiefa00:
Yes, HTC's fault!

IMO handtec is a very serious and great online shop!

I asked a lot of questens and always got an answer in about max. 12 hours.

My money come back on the next day after cancellation! I paid with paypal.
[Desire HD General] luckyguy82:
just cancel my order with clove, as i believe i will not get it before 21st Nov.

moving to eXpansys now, Desire HD + Free, Cradle, Case and Charger Pack, only GBP425.52, they will send in 4 days.:)

just stupid to wait for looooooooooong time.
[Desire HD General] Basil3:
Don't know if anyone has already posted this, but I signed up weeks ago for T-Mobile to notify me by email when the phone was available.

Just had the email come through this morning, offering free phone 1200 mins, unlimited texts and internet for £40 on 24 month contract. Fairly standard by the look of it, glad I picked up my Sim Free DHD from Phones4U!

Spoke to MPD again and they are receiving all the stock necessary to cover their pre-orders today so should start to be shipped out over the weekend or Monday.

Meh!
[Desire HD General] Magnus3D:
Here in Sweden it unfortunately looks a bit dark.. nobody seems to know when exactly they will get the phone, no stores know, hell not even HTC Sweden's office knows for sure and that's just bad.

At the moment most of us are sitting and waiting for next week to see what happens and if HTC will ship it to stores and then to us. We will see..

[Desire HD General] SW7:
Isn't that GPB499? Or are you out sidel of UK and don't have to pay the bloody VAT?
[Desire HD General] luckyguy82:
yes, i am outside UK..............

after i ordered and paid to expansys, they change the status to about 10 days................

what happened???? they promise about 4-5 days to ship, then i order it.............. now, another story...............

crazy.............. maybe i am better cancel all, keep on using my N1, and waiting for N2.:confused:
[Desire HD General] NoEnd:
Doesn't want to upset you, but i think you should've stayed with Clove. expansys has been moving their arrival date for to long plus there are much much people infront of you.

and if looked at each item alone you'll be shocked, as an example: the cradle http://www.expansys.ae/expansys-usb-cradle-for-htc-desire-hd-204765/ arrive in the 23rd of November.

my order still with handtec, because i cant move my order and wait longer, or wait much longer time and buy it locally.
[Desire HD General] broncogr:
I agree. I am also waiting for Handtec
