Got mines today lads. Well chuffed. Scotland stores seem to have stock aswell.
[Nexus S General] :
Mate, go to your DHL and demand they bring you the parcel, i did, and they got it, fooking muppets;(

But seriously hold on for this phone;)

Do anyone know a way to get carphonewarehouse to ship to rest of eu?
[Nexus S General] xspyda:
Quick question for anyone that ordered from CPW ...

Did your phone come ready set up? Ie when you turned it on was it at the unlock screen or did it go through all the android set up?

Also, did you have one security seal on the box or two (one covering up a broken one)?
[Nexus S General] dirk1978:
Both so far have come straight into the lock screen and have had one broken seal and another on top. I assumed they were delayed because of a software fix it something and they had to do it at the warehouse. I had to do that with DVD players at curry's when I worked there years ago.
[Nexus S General] AndrewGoldy:
Mine was delivered to my brother on the 21st! It's getting on the plane heading to me here in Cape Town tomorrow night.

Should be a good Christmas present. From me. To me. (The best kind)
[Nexus S General] Drew474:
so is everyone rooted yet?
[Nexus S General] ntemples1:
Well I received mine today after ordering yesterday!! Pretty snappy service from Carphone Warehouse.

But.... When I booted it my screen has a yellow tint across the whole screen. It's very noticeable next to my Samsung G S So I decided to take it back to CPW for a replacement, when I got there, the usual muppet told me that its normal and if you just put the brightness to 100% it looks white!

Not wanting to accept this I went to the other guy there and demanded that he get another one out from the store, when he bought it back it was like night and day, even he could see the difference. So I exchanged it there and then, this one has not got any yellow tinge to it.

I have to say though they were not very friendly/helpful at all.

Still well chuffed with the replacement phone though!
[Nexus S General] MistaJae:
Thought I was the only one! I had two seals on the box and didn't have to go through the initial setup. The handset itself was mint so I wonder why it came like that....
[Nexus S General] :
Got mine !!!! :D :D :D
[Nexus S General] xspyda:
Thanks for the confirmation ... I thought it had been out before. I guess they are applying fixes in the warehouse then.

I am reluctant to root or mess with it in any way in case it needs to go back but then I want to be able to use it to its full potential! Catch 22.

Seems ok so far, not noticing any yellow tinge and from what I have readi I think I would notice immediately!
[Nexus S General] sloppy1:
two seals

mine came with 2 seals one broken and another 1 over the top of it but intact????????
[Nexus S General] Mr.Clark:
I ordered on Tuesday at CPW Rugby asking to deliver to the store (figured they had a better chance of getting some in than waiting for some dodgy delivery company to find the office)

Still no sign of it :(

I'll have to pop in tomorrow and check... really want this before Christmas :/
[Nexus S General] psp888:
Can someone using o2 UK post their data settings please, and also how MMS is set up.

Many Thanks

Brilliant phone, I'm loving it so far!
[Nexus S General] psp888:
thanks a lot!
[Nexus S General] KidCold:
i ordered mine on the monday and it arrived on wednesday :) Feel sorry for the guys who havnt received theirs yet.... ITS AN AWESOME PHONE THOUGH!!
[Nexus S General] littlesthobo:
two seals, no android setup.
[Nexus S General] KidCold:
anyone in the UK know anywhere you can buy some decent screen protectors? im using the one that came with the phone atm and seriously need one soonish. CPW sells rocketfish ones but ive heard some bad things about them
[Nexus S General] Cowie:
Well it finally arrived via DHL (a dodgy looking bloke driving a dodgy looking Ford Focus)! He couldn't scan it as it kept saying "barcode already in use" so he gave it me anyway without even a signiture!!!! Just as a matter of interest I had a look at the DHL delivery status online for the package and it has now been updated to "delayed due to adverse weather"!

Nice handset though ;-)

I've updated it to 2.3.1 but have noticed that it freezes occasionally for two or three seconds before becoming responsive again (haven't installed anything yet).

Hope the guys who are still waiting get theirs today.
[Nexus S General] sinatosk:
Same happen with me. The guy came out with 5+ NS to show they were all like it. So I accepted it.

Sent from my Nexus S
[Nexus S General] Drew474:
I kinda guessed there would be a problem with all the snow, so i just asked for a store delivery, thought it would be easier that way. Why dont they have the phone available for launch, pretty poor imo.
[Nexus S General] kodbel:
Oh yeah! Could you get one for me please? How much would you charge?
[Nexus S General] Highland3r:
Spoke to a chap in one (of the 3...) CPW stores in Leeds - didn't seem to know a lot about the phone over and above "a few emails which have been going around".

He did say they weren't expecting stock until at least Wednesday as part of their scheduled delivery.

Guess for in store purchase it's going to be a case of wait and see what happens on Monday!

Fingers crossed for those guys who've ordered online that the UK postal service can get it's ass in gear and get you your phone before Christmas 2011!
[Nexus S General] Rusty!:
They use DHL@Home for sending phones out. It's like a **** version of regular DHL in my experience heh.
[Nexus S General] :
Well just received an email to say they have shipped my case and screen protector.. rather have the phone shipped first mind...............
[Nexus S General] :
fingers crossed it will be tomorrow or this evening;) I dont see how they can ship on sundays though, lollol

JD
[Nexus S General] :
I know is kinder weird but received the email at 11:49 saying they have been shipped, I only ordered these last night and the phone weeks ago lol.
[Nexus S General] :
Sod knows why the stock shows "in stock" in the evenings, and back order in the daytimes, CPW are playing games with people...

JD
[Nexus S General] Paparasee:
The thing is that although they say $529,99 in the US, they actually levy about 7 to 8% tax which actually takes the phone to about $572/- I wonder if in the UK they would add something on top of the £549.95.

In anycase, does not affect me as I'm one of those unfortunate ones living in neither of the places!
[Nexus S General] :
550 is the price after taxes:o
[Nexus S General] teledude:
CPW now showing £429.99 - on hold now to cancel and re-order - no news on stock though :(
[Nexus S General] :
I knew they would do this, they always do this... got the phone for 300 quid plus a low contract, probably gonna cancel now... grrrrrr

JD
[Nexus S General] teledude:
I just sorted mine - got £120 in store credit now - that'll be for the next Nexus :D

Still wont say anything more than delivery by end of the year :(
[Nexus S General] :
on the phone to them now.
[Nexus S General] :
I'm getting fed up of this now, told me if I cancel and reorder I will be back at the end of the list for shipping.

Carphone Warehouse and Google are terrible fair play, rip you off first then make it cheaper.. Shocking stuff.
[Nexus S General] :
on the phone to cancel now, will buy sim free when it comes into stores

JD
[Nexus S General] Lord_Buckington:
Nice, I might buy it now!
[Nexus S General] grousey:
I pre-ordered a month ago when the phone was 1st announced.

Not heard a thing from them since and no way of tracking the order online.

I'm going to head out to my local CPW store tomorrow to see if they have it in, I'll buy in store and cancel my pre-order if they do.
[Nexus S General] ma2k5:
That was really dirty, make people pay £549 then sudden drop to £429. Ouch. CPW -_-..
[Nexus S General] :
They are refunding everyone to the new price guys. Don't cancel just spoke to one of the managers
[Nexus S General] :
Cancelled mine too;)

Hope the money goes back on to the card quickly;)

JD
[Nexus S General] DJTaurus:
Do we have any info from google when it will be available in EU countries?
[Nexus S General] :
Just spoke to one of the mangers there. Everyone who pre-ordered at £549 will be refunded to the new price.
[Nexus S General] Lord_Buckington:
They've also redone the 24 month contracts, but not the 18 month ones (at least, not yet)

Sent from my Nexus One
[Nexus S General] ma2k5:
Exactly what changed on the contracts? I didn't seem to see a difference :S.
[Nexus S General] Lord_Buckington:
It used to be free on £35/m, 24 month contracts, now it's free on £30/m.
[Nexus S General] Drew474:
Did they mention when they would be refunding the money? I was planning on picking my phone up at the store then returning it and buying again for the lower price.

But atleast there doing the decent thing!
[Nexus S General] :
Yes told me they would be to all those who ordered at £549, yet to be seen but that's what they tell me.

Even if they don't we can always cancel and reorder.
[Nexus S General] Drew474:
Im just curious if they will actually have the phone in stores for release?!

Will be pretty disappointed if i dont get mines tomorrow!
[Nexus S General] :
Wont be tomorrow now, delivery didn't make it cause of the snow but expected to to ship them tomorrow to us all so lets hope before Christmas..
[Nexus S General] andyvaughan:
Does anyone have any news on Carphone Warehouse stock at all? I just rang up to enquire about a pre-order placed on the 7th and all the girl could tell me was that they were still expecting stock and that it should be shipped out as soon as they get it.

Cheers then.

Presumably there's stock somewhere on its way. Airport, or en route or something.

She thought it was likely they'd be shipped in time for Christmas...
[Nexus S General] Highland3r:
Just checked and store, they have none but are expecting them tomorrow or weds. They couldn't back order me one as the warehouse showed none available.

Few more days for us it seems. :(
[Nexus S General] :
I rang them and this is what they said.

1. Everyone who preordered at 549 will be refunded 120 quid down to the new price.

2. Stock was expected yesterday but is now expected today.

3. Pre-orders will be sent out as soon as they come in to the warehouse

4. Post are working overtime to try and get them to us before Christmas but couldn't promise.

That's it, I'm happy to wait now that I'm getting 120 back so happy days. :D
[Nexus S General] Highland3r:
The million dollar question - pre-order on their site for delivery OR wait for stock to appear in stores....

Wondering if the standard store delivery's are more likely to make it through than items chucked through the postal service??
[Nexus S General] andyvaughan:
Simply I can't wait that long.

Where is the warehouse, I'm going in.
[Nexus S General] :
They may have arrived at the warehouse, now saying 'in stock' but who knows.
[Nexus S General] andyvaughan:
I think I've just c......
[Nexus S General] littlesthobo:
The stock status has been changing randomly since last week but as yet no-one has got a confirmation of delivery.
[Nexus S General] :
Just called them up to arrange my refund, They said stock has arrived and will be shipped today;)

Got an 18mth 300 minutes and unlimited texts for 30 quid a month and free phone, so will cost me 540. Gonna give the sim card to my mother to replace her PAYG. She is gonna give me 10 a month for 18 months. So 540 - 180 = 360.

360 for a Nexus S, Not a bad day;P

JD
[Nexus S General] andyvaughan:
Thats very special news.

Reckon it'll arrive tomorrow?
[Nexus S General] Rusty!:
The O2 deal I take it? Doesn't appear to contain any data allowance though?
[Nexus S General] :
Great new :) Lets hope we all get them before Christmas guys.
[Nexus S General] :
Yeah no data allowence, but my mother is packing a samsung phone from 2003, lol, dont think that has a data option;)

It was just a good deal for me really guys, You will all probably want a unlimited data plan.

On my T-Mobile plan i get 900mins unlimited texts and unlimited internet up to 3gb fair usage for 35 a month.

Lets hope it arrives tomorrow, London is pretty clear now, and their distribution centre is in Birmingham, so a nice clear M1 will be appriciated;):D

JD
[Nexus S General] dirk1978:
Nice to know as I'm waiting for mine to turn up at the Worcester store :)
[Nexus S General] :
Your an absolute certainty then;) lol

JD
[Nexus S General] :
Mine needs to come down the M4 past Cardiff. Snowing like mad here still, just wont give up.. :'( lol
[Nexus S General] :
Like i said reckless, get your shovel out and get digging, lollol... The guy said to me on the phone that people in Scotland have NO chance of recieving their phones before christmas... I said to him dont worry, they have only just discovered the wheel the other side of Hadrians wall, lollollol, they can wait a few more days for the Nexus S;) (Only joking scots;)) Xmas jest;P

JD:D
[Nexus S General] :
Hahahaha, yeah looks like I'm going to have to shovel my way out. Only one lane is shut on the M4 so should be ok, hopefully....

JD:D
[Nexus S General] PaY87:
Wow thats a way to expensive in the UK..

I have a friend in Hawaii, but he told me that they are sold out atm.

Hopefully they get some this week so he can send me one. :)
[Nexus S General] :
Pay would love to see your Custom ROM's on the Nexus S, I always thought your ROM's was the best on the HTC Desire.

Its only £430 sim free in the uk now mate;)

JD
[Nexus S General] Highland3r:
Does anyone know how CPW's "delivery to store" works? i.e if I order today and the package ships is it more likely to arrive at the store than say to a home address?

Just trying to work out whether to reserve online or take the chance on stock arriving Tues/Weds this week.
[Nexus S General] andyvaughan:
I pre ordered the Nexus S on the 7th. Then I got an call from my credit card company telling me the payment had been blocked.

So I phoned up CPW again on the 7th and fixed the payment.

I've just phoned CPW sales who have told me that my order is now on back order and missed the recent delivery into the warehouse because of this payment hiccup.

What the hell?

So in the space of 12 hours, my order missed out on the stock that got delivered today. How? Many many handsets got delivered? 10?

Sickness.

Does anyone have a shipping note for their yet in the UK?
[Nexus S General] :
Ordered mine on the 6th and have not received anything as of yet.
[Nexus S General] Drew474:
We'll see how soon it arrives this side of the wall!! Don't see any reason they couldn't get it up here, scotlands roads are all clear. Personally this whole not delivering to Scotland is a joke, and suppliers should be ashamed!
[Nexus S General] :
Yeah its true, its not like your in Australia or something;(

JD:)
[Nexus S General] dirk1978:
Ordered mine on the 7th. Funnily enough, my payment was blocked by my CC company (MBNA), they called me and I authorised payment the next day.

I've just received a collect-from-store order confirmation (in addition to the original order confirmation), 5 mins later a mail and a text to say it's dispatched and I can track with DHL, but with no tracking number in either.

Anyway, I'll phone the store shortly in case it gets delivered there today. Otherwise it'll be tomorrow.

Also, I've just had confirmation on email from customer services that someone will be in touch to process the refund, if my card had been charged the £550 already.

Happy days!
[Nexus S General] :
Mines been shipped :D
[Nexus S General] :
Not recieved any confirmation, but was allocated stock straight from the warehouse on the guys computer, he even stole me a case from a preorder;) lollol (sorry to the guy who is a case shy)

JD
[Nexus S General] Cowie:
I also pre-ordered on the 7th and had my credit card debited. I've just phoned up and spoke with a nice lady (mainly querying about the refund) who informed me that my order was on back-order & would ship as soon as they received stock in the next few weeks! When I queried her she said that people were being allocated on a first come / first serve basis. When I queried her use of the term "weeks" she said that it could actually be before Christmas but was likely to be after.
[Nexus S General] :
Mine has been processed and allocated and is on its way;)

It seems like they have jumped over some preorders today as i cancelled my pre-order and processed a new one today, and he allocated me a phone straight away this morning..

My advice to you mate is to contact @cpwcares on twitter, they are fantastic, great service and know everything that is going on;)

JD
[Nexus S General] andyvaughan:
You must have got the same vacuous bint that I got.

All questions answered with a "I can't confirm..."

How about you confirm yourself retarded.

Anyway, nice chap from CPW phoned up and said she was lying and that everything is going through ok. They have loads of stock apparently.

So, to the woman with whom I spoke to earlier, you, madam, are a moron.
[Nexus S General] :
I rang them again and they told me mine is ready to ship, but I've had no phone call from anyone nor a email to confirm this.
[Nexus S General] :
That would be Neil, they should make him the CEO.

They have to seriously weed out the jobsworths at CPW as they are totally thick as ****,

Neil @CPWcares was an absolute fooking diamond!!!! Called me up and was very helpful, even talked to a salesman before i talked to him to explain my situation.. Absolute diamond!!

JD
[Nexus S General] :
They have been processed, and they will be shipped en mass tonight via DHL;)

JD
[Nexus S General] andyvaughan:
Yeah, thats the guy that rang me too. I actually love him.

The 0870 helpdesk is like trying to speak to someone in Broadmore.
[Nexus S General] :
I have twittered him to and filled out the form. See if he gets back to me now.
[Nexus S General] :
Top Man, He really knows his ****, left me in no doubt that everything is smooth as butter;) lol

Twats in the sales dept know nothing... I recon they just went to all the jobcentres and looked for guys and girls that was unemployed for 36 months or more and said come work for us;) They dont give a ****, they just want to ge ttheir weekly wage then go home and get stoned with their 13 kids running around the shop... lol, ranting over;P

JD
[Nexus S General] :
He will, he is different class;)

JD
[Nexus S General] :
Yep he just asked me to fill out a form for him, which I have done.

Also following you on twitter ;) GD_Morgan
[Nexus S General] :
Yeah saw that dude, followed you back;)

JD:)
[Nexus S General] :
Not replied to me.. gone home most prob lol
[Nexus S General] littlesthobo:
Has anyone got a national rate or 0800 number for CPW online sales?

EDIT - Found it, just used 0800 0491008 and I got straight through, refund is on it's way and order is being picked as we were speaking. with any luck i'll finally have my phone by tomorrow. He also said delivery backlog had been sorted too, lets hope so!
[Nexus S General] :
Yeah i must admit i spoke to him this morning, he must have had a long day, he started around 8am;(

JD
[Nexus S General] :
Lets hope DHL are waiting there untill everyone gets sorted;)

JD
[Nexus S General] :
I just received this email..

------------------------------

I can confirm that your order has been selected, and your handset is waiting for the warehouse to send it out via DHL. It should be delivered this week, weather permitting.

I hope this helps.

Kind Regards

Catrin Howatson

@CPW Cares
[Nexus S General] :
Just got a text message saying my phone has been shipped and gave me a tracking number..

I think it must have something to do with your region mate, snowy as fook;(

JD
[Nexus S General] :
I think yours should be sent out tonight as well mate, that is exactly what they told me an hour ago;)

The problem will only lie in DHL;)

JD
[Nexus S General] littlesthobo:
I just got the confirmation email. Mines on it's way too.
[Nexus S General] :
Just got the email too;) yay

JD
[Nexus S General] :
Arrrghhh ordered mine on the bloody 6th and no email!!!!

Sorry just had to go mad there for a second lol..
[Nexus S General] :
I got pretty lucky, i cancelled my order yesterday, and when i phoned up they allocated me one straight from stock. What I have found out from my experience of buying phones now, is that there is no benefit at all from pre-ordering whatsoever. The system is ****ed and flawed so there are so many ways to jump the q. Do they care, no... Money drives them, its all bollucks...

I had exactly the same problem with the HTC Desire the HTC Desire HD & The HTC Desire Z. Fooked up it was....

And i cant believe i have had three phones with the same name, haha;)

JD
[Nexus S General] grousey:
I also cancelled my pre-order (from day of announcement!) and ordered again today.

It's now been processed and will be shipped tonight.

Definitely no advantage to pre-ordering.
[Nexus S General] :
Yay emailed with a tracking number :)
[Nexus S General] xspyda:
Bloody CPW!

I rang them today querying the stock status as the website showed both pre-order and 'in stock'. I was told it's not on the system yet, will definitely be a pre order and will no way get to me before Christmas... so I decided to wait.

Bugger me if you guys are now palcing orders today and getting shipping confirmation orders!

Do the CPW staff know what they are on about? I think not!
[Nexus S General] Cowie:
No they are clueless. I was told today that I wouldn't be getting one from today's warehouse delivery and that it would probably be after xmas (after pre-ordering on the 6th). 10 mins ago I got a confirmation text followed by a confirmation email saying that it's on its way. The supplied DHL tracking link doesn't work though!
[Nexus S General] :
They have more than enough stock to fill all orders.... This isnt HTC we are talking about here, this is Samsung and Google, these guys dont **** around. When they ship, they ship en mass;)))

Good to know we have a decent OEM for our lovely phones now;)

JD
[Nexus S General] xspyda:
Well as they are showing 'in stock' currently I am tempted to order now.

Am I able to cancel my order though the website by logging into my account once I have placed my order is that it?

I want to order but don't want CPW just shelving my order until stock becomes available. I want to be able to cancel the order with nothing to pay if this happens.

Anyone know for sure?
[Nexus S General] Drew474:
i got a reply from CPW saying my order would be shipped shortly. Although couldnt guarantee delivery before 4th Jan!! Seemingly DHL are refusing to deliver to certain parts of scotland. But mines is a store delivery, will they still use DHL?
[Nexus S General] :
No i think store delivery's arrive with stock, but im not sure on that...

JD
