By browsing the different topics here and there I came to a cnclusion that we have now several release dates
So we have now:
-24th March
-26th March
-31th March
-1st April
-5th April
-6th April
-13th april
It seems that first countries to get it will be UK,France and Netherland and the last countries to get it will be Asian ones(protecting N1 sales?), passing by the Middle East right in the middle. But the most probable dates are 1st and 6th March which have been observed in amazon and expansys. Leaking Desires like the Legend could happen next week
My shop has 9th of April as delivery date for a month now. (Netherlands)

It's an official site from HTC and aswell as that, it knows your location (for me is counting down to 1st April).
I think unlocked handsets will be avaliable 1st April.

The countdown is independent of your location, it counts down to April 1st for everyone. If you click on the pre-register button you are sent to UK operators it seems, so it would be fair to assume that the countdown is for the UK release date.
I'm in Norway, and it seems we have to wait a few more days. Distributors seems to have a delivery date of April 8th here. Unfortunately...
It did say London for me on the home page. Not sure how it knew that. Also the local temperature. What did it say for you?

The original site said Birmingham but now they've gone and updated it I just get London.
It's probably getting your location from your IP Address.
Are you sure?
I think only the weather app is working with the ip, it gives me Beirut but like all the others the launch date is set to 1st April and the pre-order page is for UK shops
Anyone dealt with HTC Direct? They are showing the Desire at £386.95 incl VAT http://www.htcdirect.co.uk/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=789. It does say price is still to be confirmed but it took an order from me and the number available went down by 1.
Sounds a bit too good to be true but I paid by credit card for the security.
Website didn't say when they charge the card. I'm going to phone them tomorrow to see how they sound.
Done a whois and also checked that the VAT number check digits are correct so seems a legitimate business but are they any good?

My order was delayed from March 29th to April 7th, as with anyone else ordering an unlocked model, but I'm sick of waiting, and i thought i heard someone say theirs was shipping, is that true?
My gf stopped thinking it was cute days ago (the fact that I can't think about anything else than my phone), and I'm getting on her nerves..
I paid with google checkout, so I don't know if they update the order status as accurately, or .. idunno.. Anyone else got ANY new info on Handtec Desire orders?
From their website:
Stock Update: Handtec has secured a large quantity for the first batch. Status: Still Available
Stock Update 2: HTC Desire expected 7th April. Affects All UK resellers.
Stock Update 3: Stock is still due on the 7th April and loking likely to be this date - we still have availability on the first batch.

Yes the ship out date is still the 7th. I have been talking to Handtec everyday just to check the ETA. Their answer has been the same for the past week.
So...chillax and tell your gf to enjoy you now because once you get your phone, you will become non-existant
just wondering when the htc desire is available in Scandinavia (norway,sweden,denmark)
Monday the 12th here in Denmark, and I think it's the same for Norway/Sweden
Mine has arrived today to Helsinki (Finland). Maybe I got it tomorrow. Bought from Expansys. Local dealers seem to have it in stock as well.
Not sure really, haven't found any online shop worth trusting in Denmark while keeping the price at a minimum.
Elgiganten.dk will have it around 22th april.
Preordered from Clove atm but going to cancel it if i'm able to find something here in Denmark.

it used to be 12th but now htc said 14
I ordered mine here in Sweden and the dates were 7-9th of april but two days ago many of the sites changed their date to 22th of april but they switched back today to 12th (majority of them show this date as their stock date)
>>this might call for a new topic but I'm just gonna post it here,,,some of the warranty plans that came with the phone (for about 500 SEK extra) were completely fraudulent,,,like they would say things like get a new phone if you break it within 1 year and "no questions asked",, but if you actually read the details of the contract (after clicking on the smallest possible icon to access it) they pretty much rule out any sort of condition that you might actually get anythign in return. just wanted to see if any1 else saw anything similar!

Hey Guys
My friend going to Germany and I want him to buy for me me the Galaxy Nexus.
Since we do not know Germany (by the way,he is going into Munich), I'd Glad if anyone can help us and tell me where it will be possible to buy it on Nov 17 Germany, Munich
Thanks in advance!
P.S
I heard they sell it in Vodafon as sim-free, Is it true? If so, where it will be possible to buy it there?
Thank you!
Sorry if I went through the Forum Rules..
Hello, I'm from Germany and I would advise your friend to preorder it to a German postal address (by Amazon.de or cyberport.de). I doubt that Vodafone or O2 or even big stores like Media Markt/Saturn have this device exactly on the date of release in stock.
Also, I would suggest him to be there a bit longer (talking about 2-3 days) than just until the 17th as there is no guarantee he'll have it in his hands on exactly this date.
If anyone else has another idea, go ahead. But this are my best 2 cents I have.
Tell your friend to look for "Vodafone" and "O2" Shops, they have been confirmed to carry the Galaxy Nexus during the UK launch of the Galaxy Note.
You might want to look for "Debitel" Shops also since you can already pre-order the Nexus there (for a good price: 530€).
But none of them said they would get the Galaxy Nexus on the 17th yet.
Mobilcom-debitel is also selling the Galaxy nexus without branding or sim-lock for a very affordable 529,95€, you might want to check that out.
Nice to see a thread for German sales in particular. Does anyone know if the 32GB model will be for sale here in November?
Regards
qwer23
edit: Just re-read the post above mine and saw that this shop was already mentioned - sorry!
Back to the original question, will it be possible to buy it on the 17th or 18th of November? Because in Mobilcom-debitel it says you can only buy it from week 47 (November 21st)
The last time I wanted a SIM free phone at a German Vodafone shop, they wanted me to become a subscriber. No thanks.
will it be possible to buy it on the 17th or 18th of November?

You might be out of luck. It looks like week 47 is the earliest date to get the Nexus in germany. There are a few sites stating Nov 24 as release date (= week 47) but nothing more concrete has been made public.
Edit 2011-11-10:
Ok, now o2 germany also said they are expecting the Galaxy Nexus to arrive in week 47. https://twitter.com/#!/telefonica_de/status/134322435293057024

I just realized I have family in Munich. Does anyone know if an unlocked GSM is currently on sale there and what the price would be in American dollars?
Anyone know of any German sites that sell to the rest of the EU that can also actually be contacted?
Handyattacke.de simply won't respond at all and mobilcom-debitel.de seems to be domestic delivery only.

It should be available during the next few days. But I don't what is happening now because of the Volume bug. Most of the shops have the 2. December as a date.
The price would be something around this.
529.90 Euros = 712.55653 U.S. dollars

Thanks, but I know about expansys already and they are based in France if I remember correctly. They also charge more than Swedish stores and the release date seems to be the same. The reason I asked originally was because Handyattacke.de has a noticably lower price while the UK has a noticably higher price.

Hm yeah I saw that but I don't know any other stores which sell all over Europe.
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App
Check out this list of german stores: geizhals(dot)at/deutschland/692132
You could try contacting the following major stores: cyberport, redcoon & alternate
(sry cant post urls :/)
handyattacke.de responded when I emailed them on an unlisted email address. They only said they expected them in stock "early december" so not very detailed there. I asked them for an estimate at least.
Apparently they will get it sometime during week 49.
Cyberport seems to the firstone to ship (01.12.2011)
Hi,
So I might be taking a trip to Germany in the end of December and was thinking maybe to get the GN while I am there. Because of ties to the military I will be able to get a refund for the VAT which could mean under $600... But I can only do this if I buy it in a store, not from the internet. Have you confirmed any stores for sure selling it unlocked? I know in my town there is a Media Markt and a Saturn as well as T-Mobile, O2 and Vodaphone stores.
Thanks
Hi,
Vodafone and O2 having this phone in their "upcoming models" list. I presume they will have it by Christmas.
Good luck.
Update:
MediaMarkt is selling out GalaxyNexus since yesterday (30-Nov) afternoon. Price is 599EUR. (With guarantee that if price goes down in Christmas, you will get the benefit too. I have no more information on that.)
Call your nearest MediaMarkt and reserve one as they've limited (first shot) stocks.
I bought one last night and I'm loving it!

It would seem you might not get any information until the 17th.
A moderator on the Three blog has posted here that "You won’t be able to pre-order the Galaxy Nexus but we’ll let you know when it’s available on our network."
Hoping O2 won't do the same, but I have a feeling they might keep us all waiting. Getting a bit impatient now and wanting to get a pre-order in. Slightly underwhelmed by the O2 deals at buymobilephones.net. Want to see if Phones4U or O2 themselves are offering any better.

Probably means initial stocks are running low and they've been kicked back. This is a popular phone!
Samsung still haven't said anything since they officially announced the 17th.
I ordered mine last night from BuyMobilePhones, 3rd contract from the top. Should get it on the 18th although I expect it to be delayed like what my Desire was.

I pre-ordered mine from BuyMobilePhones too on the Panther36 contract with £5 off so £31 a month (handset price £89.99). Good price for 1GB internet and unlimited wifi on btopenzone the only thing I dont like is that the phone will be carrier locked to orange. Not a big deal since I wouldnt be using any other sim cards in it but mobiles.co.uk DOES guarantee that all phones supplied will be carrier unlocked..
I already cancelled my mobiles.co.uk pre-order whedn I found the BuyMobilePhones deal, now I cant decide whether to cancel again and go back to the mobiles.co.uk lol

Amazon just doesn't get it right these days. Their Kindle Fire got weak reviews as well, so they ended up shipping the devices early in fear of pre-order cancellations. While Nexus is not their product, it is apparent that they just did not do any market research when getting this phone listed as they would have otherwise selected a more reliable supplier.
Well regardless of this new info, I chatted with someone from Negri a bit ago

Not sure what the Kindle Fire and this release being tangled up have anything to do with one another. They obviously just changed the date to be conservative on the pre-order ship date because they had no other confirmation from Samsung on the matter of when they'd receive shipments. Their supplier is Samsung, they don't really have a choice there.

Well they have to wait for it to be released on the 17th, import them from the UK, then re-send them to individuals in the USA/other countries. So of course there will be a delay.

What has been missing from Samsung all along (and what EVERY article I have seen that either says it is or isn't delayed has COMPLETELY missed) is whether Samsung will be shipping it out to all their tier 1 partners in time for them to launch it on the 17th.
Basically, there's been no real doubt (apart from an odd blog post by phones4u) that they were always going to get it on the 17th. What muddied the waters was Amazon saying it will be later and pretty much everyone assuming that if Amazon cant get it on time then no one can. But Amazon aren't the only ones to say delivery won't be until some time after the 17th... Negri put out a statement today, Clove have sent emails out, Handtec put back their date... all these companies would have done this presumably for a very good reason. They are in the business of making money, not pi$$ing off customers which is what these setbacks are prone to do.
What has become clear recently (and only recently) is that O2 and Three have confidently said they will be selling it on the 17th.
So... Contract providers (Phones4U and at least 2 mobile networks) are likely to be selling it on the official launch date meaning Samsung would have always been correct in stating "it will launch in the UK on the 17th" but clearly there are other big players like Amazon and Handtec that sell non-contract handsets that don't seem to be able to launch it on the same day.
It is this glaring difference that Samsung never has and still hasn't cleared up.
I hope I'm wrong but it looks like contract providers have been given priority over sim-free providers hence, YES it will launch on its official launch date BUT, SIM Free handsets from stockists that only sell SIM free will be DELAYED.
