Hi All,
my upgrade is due at the end of this month, 28th October. im from the UK, Will HD3/7 be released by Tmobile end of this month or will i need to move to another phone provider?
wp7 launched in UK on 21st october if that's any help..
You're in luck, then! Windows Phone 7 appears to be coming to T-Mobile USA sometime in November, and it looks like the HD7 might be their premiere device:

Unless you're talking about T-Mobile UK, though. I'm not sure when they're getting WP7, but presumably soon.
The Device-Launch in Uk (Europe) ist the 21st october

T-Mobile UK customers can expect the Desire to arrive tomorrow morning which of course is great news!
The release date in the Netherlands is not known yet. The shop where I ordered the phone says 1 to 10 days
Anyone else have better info on the dutch release date?
gsmweb (search in google) expect to deliver the phone on 1 april
Yeah, i've just been to belcompany and they said they should have it here in Maastricht 14th or 15th of April, which sucks... But i do hope that it will be much sooner than that... come on, UK people got it today and we have to wait 2 weeks for it? sound ridiculous to me...
Looks like Vodafone will have the Desire available on plans from 8th April (pickup) or 13th April for pre-orders. Not sure why pre-orders are running behind!

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
I've heard next to nothing about who/where will be stocking Windows Phone handsets at launch tomorrow morning ... the only thing I've heard is the Orange store Oxford Street will be opening at 7am.
Anybody have news on who'll have SIM free HTC WP7 handsets tomorrow??
I've been trying to track down sim-free handsets myself and the best I've come up with is the Dell Venue Pro which is available to order from Clove, for delivery on the 8th November.
It's proving to be quite difficult to find sim-free phones, especially ones with a keyboard.
No news on high-street stores selling sim-free.
This is really annoying actually...
Big announcement from Microsoft 21st October lanuch in Europe !!! but no Carriers appear to be launching tomorrow... I called Orange the MAIN LAUNCH PARTNER and they say HTC Mozart next week and Samsung Omnia (Orange name will be Cetus) by the end of October... Their STAFF HAVE NO CLUE about WP7 and no details about 8gb or 16gb memory or prices or specific dates etc etc... They just said Nokia N8 confirmed for Friday and New HTC Androids also next week... F$%K knows whats going on!! ....... really good start Microsoft !!!!
I dont know about london but i know the Orange store in london is getting both omnia 7 and the mazart in tomorrow both are 8gb. The Fareham store (town nearer to me) said they will have stock arriving today for sale tomorrow but did not know what they where getting as it depends what there sent from main office.
I have seen some sim free deals around but cant remember off my head where as i will need a contract boo to being poor lol
O2UK have the HD7 in their "Coming Soon" list. Apparently expected 21st Oct

I called the Orange Store in Croydon they have no idea if WP7 handsets will be there tomorrow....
Thanks for all your replies - sadly it doesn't look like I've missed any launch day availability information then ... it certainly is frustrating.
I suspect pre-ordering online and waiting a few weeks for most of the handsets to ship will be the best option ... unfortunately.
Still hope to be surprised though!
The situation with WP7 is embarrassing.
Here in Italy HTC is doing a bad impression. I ordered the HD7 eXpansys up two weeks ago and every day, every day I say, they change the date of delivery.
Even today the new availability date is December 4.
December 4?? But are they crazy?? How MS is hoping to succeed if they do not leave the phones?
I have a P3600, a TYTNII, a Diamond and HD2, but At this point I think my next phone will be a Nokia N8.
Frankly I feel cheated. And bored.
There are 10 different devices and tons of carriers.
I really don't see your logic of hating on the devices and WP7 just because you are being screwed by whoever you ordered it from.
You only have that company to blame for the shipping delays.
I walked in to a Best Buy here in the US on launch day and picked up a Surround.

Here in Italy on the launch day there was no WP7 phones in stores.
And every day all the stores change the availability day: said yesterday that it would be available on 29th november, and today the 4th of december. Two days ago they said it would be available in 4 days...ALL the stores, not one.
But, from my experience, this is the case of all new release highend smartphones. The Desire HD changed from incoming week 45 to "longer delivery time" in week 45, and my Omnia 7 have changed from week 44, to week 45 and they're saying week 46 right now.
Just be patient, hardware is obviously selling through and that is a good thing!
I can't wait....
yes, this situation is horrible.. i am in Slovakia, waiting for my Omnia 7!!!!!!!! No phones at all here, I checked online stores in Czech republic - the same...Its more than a month after official release.
Expansys USA has Unlocked Samsung Focus and HTC HD7 in stock and ready for shipment for 599 and 699 USD respectively..
Edit: They also have almost every other phone from WP7 Unlocked and ships within 3 days..
The irony is that although Europe had the first launch 2 weeks in advance it's still under US when it comes to availability. To get my HD7 I surfed 3 weeks like crazy on eBay to get a good deal (eventually made it) and when I asked all my country's carriers about WP7 they were like "What's up with that?!" so going-randomly-in-a-shop-to-pic-a-WP7 will happen mostly in late December/January.
Maybe some sort of "conspiracy" for the Early '11 update
This is the answer from HTC:
Recently you wrote about the release date of HD 6, but here we inform that the terminal should be in business, then I suggest you start to do the check with our resellers: http://www.htc.com/it/ where_to_buy.aspx
FIRST: I wrote about HD7, not HD6...what the hell is the HD6?
and SECOND: No! I checked all the on-line store (and in some cases I went in the store of my town) and the HD7 is not available....maybe I should ask the HD6?
HD7
Hi,
here in Czech Republic, you can buy only HTC Trophy...
Nobody has the clue when will other phones arrive
