I just phoned Vodafone and got through to a very helpfull lady.....I say helpfull, but Vodafone are a bunch of B*stards!

She advised they still have not recieved stock, but it is due today. I kicked off as I have an email stating it would be "delivered" today. She phoned the warehouse and they have still not recieved the shipment due today. Once they are in they will be sorting the pre-orders as a priority, but we will

not

recieve these until Monday.

I kicked off a bit and she was very appologetic, but still doesn't help. She asked me to forward on the email to her stating I would get it today and she would look into it.

Grrrrrr
[Desire HD General] havoc99:
I called up Handtec yesterday and the guy I spoke to assured me I'd get mine in the second batch as I ordered on the 4th of Oct. So just waiting patiently or at least trying. Kinda losing the desire and excitement for the DHD.

Btw, for those receiving from Handtec in the first batch, if they ship today, you'll get it on Monday. Give them a call to change shipping to Saturday. But only if its dispatched. Otherwise you'll only receive it on a Saturday.

Walked into P4U in Bromley and they told me they don't sell SIM Free phones anymore. P4U are definitely not consistent around the country.
[Desire HD General] Rittzy:
Updated for anyone ordered on Play.com. Mine currently says awaiting stock then when you actually search the item it says stock due 2-5 weeks :O :O wtf
[Desire HD General] Devilsduck:
I'm thinking of getting an iphone 4 now!

Only joking!
[Desire HD General] s32bauer:
Same here. Neither of the three people I spoke to were able to confirm the tracking number though, so I've got no way of knowing whether they are correct, or whether the email is the truth!
[Desire HD General] Eurks:
Yeh I emailed to people yesterday n got reply 1 yesterday saying it was dispatched 21st n I got two emails today the official email saying it was dispatched and a second email saying it was dispatched 21st aswell so I'm well an truly confused.
[Desire HD General] paulhd.:
Hi.... i am new one here......just had phone call with Expansys customer service and they told me they got only 75 pieces and my order done 5oct cant be worked with this stock :( so i must wait until next week....lets hope!!
[Desire HD General] christonabike:
Is that the release date for new orders or for existing pre-orders?

I'm theorizing (hoping) they're pushing the release date for new orders as they allocate pre-orders to incoming deliveries.. <crosses fingers>
[Desire HD General] :
Handtec isnt, matter of fact i think they are a complete joke.... There has not been one email sent by them...

Im on the verge of cancelling my order and getting a G2 shipped from the US

[Desire HD General] turkification:
I have my hopes up for end of October.
[Desire HD General] Beards:
I wouldn't blame you..... They did the same with the Galaxy S buyers.

They told everyone they had the 16GB models, even advertised them for sale and a lot of would be buyers paid money up front... when in fact the 16GB models went to carriers only.
[Desire HD General] Bumble-Bee:
The retailer / manufacuer line of communication is fairly useless
[Desire HD General] Huck33:
i saw that on a swiss website : pdaphone.ch

http://www.worldlingo.com/S1790.5/t...://www.pdaphone.ch/forum/viewtopic.php?t=4766

on expansys website, it's written that device will be available in 10 days...
[Desire HD General] liorra3:
i hope so, coz if expansys will have it on the oc 19 other will have it also.
[Desire HD General] berek9999:
I see that the Amazon price has increased by £20 since I pre-ordered on 23rd Sep, as well as the date changing to 15th November. My order still shows as 13th Oct, though I'm rapidly losing faith in this date. I suppose it's possible that Amazon have pre-sold all of their first batch and the next lot aren't due in until the 15th Nov - I'll just keep telling myself that. :rolleyes:
[Desire HD General] Gig11gs:
me 2 'll just keep telling myself that
[Desire HD General] MarkieSA:
Amazon are not adding on the price, when you search for the DHD click on where it says "new" and you will be taken to where it shows you how much amazon are selling it for
[Desire HD General] Bumble-Bee:
Good Sign

This is a good sign :-D blogs are starting to get hands on with the devices :-D

http://www.androidcentral.com/desire-hd-hands

Also those pictures give u a nice look at this beast !!!
[Desire HD General] turkification:
that is a good sign indeed! Usually blogs get in 2/3 weeks upfront. Can't be far away now!
[Desire HD General] jamieeeee:
i dont know if this allready mentioned but i have to. see this tweet

http://twitter.com/#!/markmoons/status/26623183911

it appears from a htc and it says (for those who cant understand dutch)
[Desire HD General] Bumble-Bee:
Whoooa

ohhh nice :-D this device looks SEXY !!
[Desire HD General] :
Yeah, this is due to HTC taking a few Desire HD's to the big phone event in America during the last few days... Cnet.com had a good hands on with one as well, but no european review site has has total hands on except for pocketpc.ch, who seem to have their own Desire HD;) and have been releasing 1 minute videos every day... i think HTC must be limiting them to mini vids;)

[Desire HD General] badaas:
e2save say 15th October now >:S
[Desire HD General] liorra3:
we have new date from clove!!!!!

"First stock expected week ending 22/10"
[Desire HD General] Bumble-Bee:
Yay things are moving forword :-)

Resuming countdown till HD is here
[Desire HD General] liorra3:
yep and its "week

ending

22/10" so its can be even at Monday 18th
[Desire HD General] slateac:
Does anyone know if the 10th of October rumors were true for Carphone Warehouse?

I tried calling them but their utterly ignorant customer service was no help at all by saying he hasn't even heard of the device and just came home from vacation.
[Desire HD General] latte33:
That is really WTF!?

2-3 weeks?!

My status also shows awaiting stock.

I m getting sick of it now...

I will go London at tomorrow to shop around....(Try my luck)
[Desire HD General] bigsi100:
Phoned play.com - got the standard 'read from screen' message. Tried everything, but they couldn't even tell me if they knew where I was in the queue. Useless.

Have tried to do some digging, it looks like big shipments are due in at the start of November - at least with other suppliers anyway (god knows what play is playing at).

Also phoned local CPW - had stock, but they won't sell sim free for 2 weeks or so.

Pants
[Desire HD General] Rittzy:
See i dont know what there doing, the status says awaiting stock which may suggest that our pre-orders are maybe getting stock later today and that the 2-3weeks thing is for anyone who is ordering the phone now.

I try to give myself high hopes :(
[Desire HD General] eboni:
Fingers crossed, I am ringing back later to get an update to see whether mine will be delivered.
[Desire HD General] makaveli25:
ordered from handtec on 30th, just got email a few minutes ago with tracking info....estimated delivery of 26th.....cant wait
[Desire HD General] Rittzy:
Yea phone them up later and ask them have they even got any stock in!!
[Desire HD General] :
Hi guys, has anyone heard from MPD about their DHD orders?

The last I got was an email last Thursday and nothing since then.
[Desire HD General] Zantos64:
Now you're worrying me - I ordered the same day and have had nothing!:mad:
[Desire HD General] polystirenman:
i placed my pre order at the same date and still no email. :(
[Desire HD General] makaveli25:
its almost midday in london, so they still got the rest of the day.....hope you get your email
[Desire HD General] Eddie1506:
Amazon finally changed their availabilty date from Nov 15 to "In stock" \o/ :D
[Desire HD General] oawalker:
Expansys says they they will get in on monday. called up t mobile they say they have some left if stock ordered it from them it should be coming tomorrow. :)

time to cancel my order now
[Desire HD General] SupremeBeaver:
wow wasn't expecting that! but apparently Amazon aren't offering the phone themselves. It says it will be sold by MobileFun.
[Desire HD General] onesolo:
and what's funniest is that mobilefun on their site has 26 of October for the availability of the phone... :D
[Desire HD General] SupremeBeaver:
but i made my preorder when it was being offered by Amazon themselves for 469.99, not the MobileFun option for 479.99. Does this mean that Amazon themselves dont have it on stock?
[Desire HD General] Eddie1506:
Yeah, they pulled themselves from preorders. I guess they've alloted all the places for orders placed directly through them.

I hope not.
[Desire HD General] :
Fed up with the phone, its just too big for me;(

I took it back to phones4u today and they said i could not get my dough back, so i pretended there was a fault and they gave me a replacement phone boxed, so im selling a boxed unopened desire in london for anyone that wants it, 420 cash;) If anyones interested PM me;)

Cheers,

JD
[Desire HD General] SupremeBeaver:
could u ship it overseas?

edit: ignore this, changed my mind lol
[Desire HD General] Eurks:
Anyone got there delivery from P4U yet?
[Desire HD General] Axiol:
In stock for Amazon UK ? Wow ! But my order is still on 15 Nov :/ Hope I'll not have trouble with it :/
[Desire HD General] Rittzy:
I Pm'd you :D
[Desire HD General] SW7:
I pre-order directly from Amazon, and my order still shows "Delivery Estimate: 15 Nov 2010 - 16 Nov 2010":(:(:(

Once again, our apologies for the short delay.
[Desire HD General] s32bauer:
Sure have!

Despite the email this morning saying it won't be dispatched until this evening, it has just turned up. Completely unbranded as well. Finally!
[Desire HD General] SW7:
Someone on Amazon UK is selling it for £449.00+£5.00 p&p

I'm still waiting impatiently - hope I do better but sympathise fully with you:confused:

Becareful MobileFun on 26 October, that is the date for first batch to people who had order....

I called them yesterday to clarify....

So what did Amazon said In stock with MobileFun = No Stock....
[Desire HD General] SupremeBeaver:
hmm so Amazon don't have it on stock really.

Do you guys think i should just cancel my Amazon preorder since Handtec already charged me?
[Desire HD General] howdarkwepray:
For any Norwegians here: I spoke to Netcom again. They're getting 20% of their expected shipment on the 29th of October, but still can't tell me if I'm in that 20% or not. Their next shipment of the HD won't be until the 10th of *December*. They don't know why there are supply problems with the phone.

If I don't get in on the 20%, I'm cancelling the order.
[Desire HD General] kingkobra74:
Glad to hear that. Just means a trip to the local sorting office in the morning to get mine then...
[Desire HD General] Evostance:
Play.com have sold out of the DHD hence why it says 3-5 weeks on their website but they "hope" it comes in earlier.

They said i'd be on the next batch if i'm prepared to wait.

Not happy at all
[Desire HD General] latte33:
Is that mean our status "awaiting stock" need to wait another 3-5 weeks?

WTF!?
[Desire HD General] themonkster:
Just been into phone phones for you Bury Manchester they will sell sim free for 450.00 they have 2 left.

Sent from my Hero Froyo'd Villian 1.5
[Desire HD General] Evostance:
Yep, not happy. They havent even replied to my email and i sent that on Monday. 72hours response my arse :mad:
[Desire HD General] seaempty:
First time poster - been watching the thread closely. I ordered my HD through Play on 16th September, and had the "awaiting stock" status earlier today.

now it's changed to "packing", so maybe previous posters were right about batches?
[Desire HD General] Evostance:
Lucky. They did say they had sold out now
[Desire HD General] latte33:
Oh this is good news for you....

I think I have to wait my order with MobileFun...which may dispatch end of next week since i m not in the first batch....

Play.Com .... I will never use them again!!! :mad: Not very happy..
[Desire HD General] havoc99:
At least that's an indication of more stock on Monday?! ... Hopefully that's the case. I'm on the 4th so a few days behind you... Hopefully we'll get it on Tuesday then.
[Desire HD General] Gig11gs:
amazon "in stock 27th Oct"

but my preorder is still shipping on 16 Nov :(
[Desire HD General] Eddie1506:
Amazon is back and again listed as a seller on http://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B003ZDP5YK

This time, there's no mention of Nov 15 for their price, just says "Usually dispatched within 4 - 6 weeks."
[Desire HD General] Evostance:
Woop! Just called Phones4U after going in yesterday and they knew it was me.

Said they're getting 2 in stock today so will reserve one for me to pick up later.

Fingers crossed the get the delivery and dont accidentaly sell it to someone else.

Not cancelling my Play.com order just yet as P4U can be a nightmare sometimes
[Desire HD General] x0xRIFLEMANx0x:
I ordered on 21th OCT,when you think handtect dispatch my order?
[Desire HD General] vrgngns:
you should ask this question to them :)
[Desire HD General] latte33:
Sim Free?

I will shopping around London in order to find out is there Sim Free Handset...
[Desire HD General] spex84:
Just got the last DHD sim free from phone4u cumbernauld. For anyone in the Glasgow area they get deliveries thursdays and saturdays. Cheaper than Play plus get a 8GB card.

Looks and feels well built, on charge just now so cant wait to get my mits on it .
[Desire HD General] redmongoose:
Just picked one up on Oxford St (nr bond st tube)

Said they were only selling them on contract but I had spoken with the manager several times and he said he was happy to sell it to me sim free.
[Desire HD General] latte33:
How much you guys paid for the sim free handset from phone4U?

Just now i called to phone4U around my place, they want to sell me £500 with sim free....:confused:
[Desire HD General] Zantos64:
Email received from Superetrader:

"The Desire HD was finally released into the wild yesterday by HTC sole distributor Brightpoint UK, despite the fact that they only had 1000 units to ship. We have only received 100 units which is a paltry figure in relation to our preorders but weekly deliveries are expected from now on.!
[Desire HD General] redmongoose:
Sorry to say but they ripped you off. :(

£449.99 is the price. It is displayed on in all the shops in central London.

That's what I paid and so (as far as I can see) has everyone else
[Desire HD General] bobbyphoenix:
Just received an email from SuperEtrader. My order is in the second batch shipping Monday Oct 25th. I placed my order Oct 1st. Just to give you all a time frame for orders being shipped from when you did order.
[Desire HD General] fubofo:
vodafone delayed AGAIN

Just been speaking to Vodafone. My Desire HD preorder has been delayed again until the end of next week. Some people are also stating 7-10 working days for expected Vodafone delivery..........:mad:

I don't know what they are playing at because I recieved the other Desire HD I ordered online from mobiles.co.uk on Tuesday this week.......and its a Vodafone contract, so they are giving out handsets !!
[Desire HD General] squalllion1uk:
I was told the second batch would be middle of next week :/ no mention of a specific date.
[Desire HD General] latte33:
Sorry, typo....Sell (not sold)

I think i will go the Central London shop you bought....

I will try my luck at tomorrow.... :p
[Desire HD General] spex84:
Cost £449.95 sim free. All phones4u branches should be the same.
[Desire HD General] crossbox:
I spoke to handtec yesterday - they said they couldn't guarantee my order would be shipped in their second batch on Monday 25th because they didn't know how much stock they were getting. Now that the first batch seems to have been smaller than they were expecting, i wouldn't be suprised if my order gets pushed out to November :mad::mad::mad:
[Desire HD General] x0xRIFLEMANx0x:
WTF..!! :mad::eek:

when you make pre order ?

plz don't tell me early OCT .:(
[Desire HD General] latte33:
when you bought the handset? Today?

Probably they change it today?
[Desire HD General] Chimero:
I had ordered through Handtec on the 5th of October. Yest when i was online with one of their support staff, he promised on his dead mothers life that they will be receiving the second batch during the first part of the week.

And he also told me that he is confident that I will be in the second batch. However, he was confident that i would be in the first batch last week.

Hope his mother does not have to roll over in her grave this time.
[Desire HD General] vrgngns:
mine is 6th october. hope to get mine's at second batch
[Desire HD General] abrasive:
Swearing on someone who's already dead doesn't seem like it means he needs to keep his promise. I mean, she's dead?

BTW, I asked eXpansys yesterday about the status of their stock. They said they'll get 75 units today and some more next week but they don't know how meny. So today I replied to ask if they had been able to roll out the first batch of phones, so that I could be sure that they're actually recieving any phones to deliver. This time they didn't answer...
[Desire HD General] berek9999:
That's looking hopeful. My pre-order still says 16th Nov too, but I suspect from past experience that they don't update the pre-orders very often. Fingers crossed that we both get an email next week saying it's shipped :)
[Desire HD General] SW7:
I'm in the same boat. When did you order?
[Desire HD General] berek9999:
23 Sep, so I'm hoping I'll be reasonably near the front of the queue
[Desire HD General] Planescape:
I spoke to someone on Tuesday/Wednesday and he pretty much stuck to what their website says (Currently delivery in 4 days) so I@m guessing Tuesday.

Why was it too big for your JupiterDroid?
[Desire HD General] spex84:
Yes bought it today and thats the price thats advertised in the shop. Was the same price when I enquired about it a few days ago.
[Desire HD General] crossbox:
My order was 12th Oct
[Desire HD General] SupremeBeaver:
i ordered on the 18th with them. i hope i make it into the second batch :(
[Desire HD General] Devilsduck:
aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaarrrrrrrrrrrrrrgggggggggggggggggghhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!

Just phoned VF again, I have now been told they have recieved limitied stock and

IF

I have been allocated a handset I will be notified shortly, if not give us a call next Friday!

f**k off! I dont recieve my notification today I am cancelling my upgrade and going to P4U tomorrow!

Stupid b*stards

Email from Play.com:

Dear xxxxxxxxxx

We are contacting you regarding your pre-order for HTC Desire HD Android / Sim Free / Unlocked / 8 Megapixel / Touch Screen Mobile Phone.

Unfortunately HTC have been unable to keep up with the higher than expected demand for this handset and as such supply is extremely limited nationwide. We are therefore unable to fulfil your pre-order at present. We expect to be able to fulfil all outstanding orders within the next 4-5 weeks.

Please accept our sincere apologies for any disappointment or inconvenience that this may have caused you and thank you for your patience and valued custom.

Kind Regards,

Just a quick heads up, I dropped into the Orange store in Belfast and was told that they had to hold the release of the DHD to make way for the release of the new HTC win7 devices first......wonder did M$ pay to have their new devices releases first ?
[Desire HD General] SW7:
Yes! And this is worse than Amazon's 15 Nov. I'm glad I didn't cancel my pre-order with Amazon.
[Desire HD General] Nameless_87:
I ordered mine from GUMMOBILE on the 15th October...

I just received this:

I ordered the HTC Desire HD with the official HTC S550 pouch. And I forgot to order the official HTC P430 screen protectors. I emailed them if I could amend my order since the postage is 24GPB and I didn't want to pay that again for just the screen protectors and they told me they will give them to me for free.

So far GUMMOBILE is looking good... first time I'm ordering with them.

:D
[Desire HD General] abrasive:
eXpansys just confirmed that their first batch did not arrive today, but it will be there on Monday (75 units)
[Desire HD General] Evostance:
Yeah well when I called they said £600 to me so I told them where to go as the ticket in THEIR shop says £449.99

They soon changed their attitude. Hopefully they'll still have mine waiting for me when I get there and not sold it, but i'm not getting my hopes up
