Not sure wither they really "secured large quantity" or "not alot of people ordered from them" but mehh...
So if you still did not order and you want to get your device from the first batch, go here

When I spoke to them earlier in the week, having consulted the sales director, they told me they had about 400 orders. At that time, they did not know for sure how many they would get in the first batch although they had ordered, if I remember right, about 4,000.

Wow 4000, thats a fortune, ... but it would not be a problem, it will sell like anything. The most important thing though, is that when people get their first Desires the devices should (and hopefully will) be flawless, and doesnt have any major bugs, or else it will effect the sales of the device forever.
I for one waiting for proper reviews and real life experience from people in XDA, before i make my order

Not me! I'm in there! I want mine on Tuesday!
I'm so fed up with WM 6.5 on my HD2. Using the touchscreen for some of the settings (like drop down boxes) behind Sense and on some apps is getting to be a nightmare.
However, I do respect your view.

I hope you get yours ASAP ... and then come back and share with us the holographic experience you're having with the Desire

I think others may beat me to it. Unfortunately, I still keep to the rule of charging a new battery for 12 to 14 hours before first use. I know many people say this is not necessary for these batteries but others say it still is - so better safe than sorry! Mind you, the cost of spare batteries seems extremely reasonable at Handtec.

cant wait for a full review or some XDA member experience its coming, we just have to wait a little bit longer

You should be aware that over charging Lithium Polymer batteries, especially on the first charge, is very bad for them, as is completely flattening them. that's why, with modern devices, once they have died you cant get them to come back on by waiting a while and trying to power up again, it a protection feature!
I know this seems counter intuitive given 20 years of using NiCad batteries but none the less, it is true!

How did I let this thread get by me
I have been speaking with them and told them the situation with Clove. They assured me that they have plenty of stock and will start processing and shipping out orders Monday
So...if I am lucky and get all the Customs [email protected] taken care of ASAP, I should have it by Wednesday

Is Lithium Polymer and Lithium Ion the same battery type?
If yes: http://batteryuniversity.com/partone-12.htm

So none can say how many pieces they are going to receive...even if I thnk they know how many Desire are going to be stocked...
On his hand Clove seems to be more honest, that's his answer:
We will try and send next week, but we have limited stock arriving and should really ship in chronological order.
Thank you.

yeah I just spoke to Clove to make sure they got my purchase order. They said they find out how many they get on Monday, likely to actually ship on Tuesday. Restocks will come in 2nd April for anyone that misses first batch

Ordered one from Devicewire this morning, shuold have it Tuesday

I've spoken to Hantec today, and they told me they're shipping on Monday and Tuesday. Beginning to look like it's the same for everyone, including T-Mobile.

Just read the following on Hantec's product page:

Where to get it in London on launch day

(Sorry skip I know this should be posted in the UK thread, but I'm looking for some fast answers)
I'm happen to be in London at Nov. 17 and wonder what stores could have the gnexus in stock on that day. Carphone warehouse @ Oxford Street perhaps?

Thats ok mate I will let it slide for hmm 4 days then its getting closed
Im guessing that all phones4u store should have it in stock on release day, my local store in Great Yarmouth said they will have it in stock on 17th. Also maybe o2 stores since they have stated it will be available on pay monthly and PAYG plans on release. Havent heard anything about Carphone Warehouse stores stocking it.
If you give phones4u a call on 0800 072 5855 they should be able to tell you which stores will be stocking it on that day or put you in touch with them directly.

Thanks Mark! Exactly the info I needed. (Actually it is no coincidence that I will be in the UK at launch day lol)

Well one needs a vacation sometimes, so why not go where there's a new Android version is released .. and yeah London is also great LoL (there's a nice Jazz festival going on now).
Just hope I can get it somewhere without a plan. Otherwise I have to fill my time with visiting weird things like bridges, palaces, churches etc lol

[Q] what date have dial a phone said for delivery

as title says.they told me 11th April

same here, told me on the phone the 7th but my email confirmation says the 11th.

Also the 11th for my order with dialaphone. Seems like everyone got the same date. Still if it comes sooner then that's great.

11th for me too.

Mine says 11th too, shows credit check passed. They've also taken payment for the handset.

this is mainly due to bank holiday weekends ofcourse. Never mind few days more will not kill you.

Tad confused now, found this on their FB page.
Dialaphone Hi Mike, Thanks for your post. The expected delivery date for all HTC One X handsets is the 12th April. Let me know if you have any further questions and have a great day. Cheers, Espi.

11th for me as well on the Vodafone contract. Don't mind waiting a few extra days but would be nice to get it before Easter holidays, doubt that will happen!

It may possibly come earlier.
This late date might be for the stats as proof they have 'exceeded customers' expectations' by delivering earlier than promised. Who knows, it may have a 'stretch target' to exceed delivery times to qualify for a bonus.
On the other hand, they might be telling the truth

They told me the 12th on Twitter as well, but all our order pages say the 11th.
Think they are simply covering their backs in case of holiday delays.

thanks! i feel better now since i can't pay until then. i was already planning to pay extra for next day shipping. it stills says pre-order on Negri Electronics, so it's probably the same date for them.

They have probably been given a script and their calls will be listened to and QC'd to check they stick to it. I suspect the first we will hear if its an earlier date is an email saying its shipping.

so, after paying vodafone to bring my commitment date earlyer so i can upgrade, i went through dialaphone purely because voda was asking far too much,
so i went for a white one x voda upgrade

purchased my screen protecters already,in car kit,home dock tooo,
sorry to ramble on lol, cheers,

I ordered my One X through Dialaphone almost 2 weeks ago now, I did call and speak to a gent just before ordering and he said they where due them in on the 7th, which if your not aware is Good Friday, if this is true then they probably won't ship till the following Tuesday after Easter Monday. That would make delivery date the 11th which is what everyone's order probably does say!
I live in hope that they may come in a day earlier and MAYBE come on the Friday/Saturday but it is unlikely so I am just banking on the 11th, itll be far less disppointing that way

I don't know why companies like HTC choose such a stupid time to release handsets. They could have chose any week, instead they choose Easter week. So annoying, lol.
But you are right, all these conspiracy theories about the phones being shipped late due to branding are probably all a load of crap. It's just the lack of days available to deliver due to the holidays that is causing the delays.
It's still not to say obviously that some phones could be branded, but lets hope not.

Talk about large text!! And +10 for Handtec!

Man the text on this phone is HUGE!!! Even on the GN you were able to reduce the size of the text a bit more than this. Anyone else find this text way larger than it needs to be?
Also for all those who are consideirng buying. Handtec fantastic retailer. I use to buy from them back in my winmo days and they would always screw up the importing documents and the package would be stuck in customs but they have fixed that now. Fast and smooth transaction and it was also the cheapest i was able to find it.

I'm glad you had a good experience with Handtec. I was thinking about ordering from them here in a few days as well.

did you try and change the font size in settings?
settings..>..display & gestures..>..font size

do the packages always go to customs or they just choose them randomly

I believe its random. I've ordered twice from Handtec. Last year I got my GS II from them and it arrived the next day without being stopped by customs. My One X is in customs now. It was supposed to arrive today. I faxed the papers in and my phone has been released. It will arrive tomorrow. So it was only a 1 day delay.

Yea. I changed it to small but i believe the GN had a tiny setting that this device doesn't have or the small just isn't small enough.

I actually believe all packages go through customs. You only get stuck when some document is off or if some genius over there reads the document incorrectly. That last one really pisses me off. From my experience it goes through customs in the middle of the night. Once its starts moving the UK it gets to the US the following day. For the east coast folks i believe it stops in Memphis which has a customs office and then goes out from there.

at what time/day did you guys order it? and what color? did you choose Fedex or UPS? someone from NY said he got it the next day..his package didn't have to go through customs

I'm not sure how anyone would know if it went through customs or not? There is a difference between being stuck in customs and going through customs. I think its like saying I didn't go through airport security just because you didn't go through extra screening. I'm pretty sure it all goes through customs but then again I've never worked for fedex or UPS so i don't really know.
In this case I ordered on Sunday afternoon and they shipped it out Tuesday evening UK time and I got it Wed morning before 1030AM.

At Handtec? If you placed it on Wed and you live in Miami you will probably get it Friday assuming they didn't mess up any documentation.

How much did you pay for your One X?Are there any tax/fee when you purchase from handtec?

It was 403.99 pounds without VAT, which you don't have to pay if you are in the US. That turned out to about 685 US dollars.

I'm using on At&t but I believe it supports 850MHz and 1900MHz on the One X but only one of those for the One S. I haven't had any connectivity issues but I also have not left Melbourne FL since yesterday when I received it. I also bought a micro sim cutter. I'm sure you've already considered this but I wanted to let everyone know that the Noosy second generation cutter is great although the adapters SUCK!!!!!

You can set the text size to small and reduce it even more if you pinch to zoom when you're in an actual text message!!! It'll be bloody tiny! Or skip the: Settings - Small step and just pinch to zoom when you're in a message.

hmm ok plan b.. install 'rom toolbox' from the market go to the last page of the tweaks and choose a font from the font installer..some of them are really tiny

Sadly I enjoy the current font. Just wish it was smaller. I mean to be honest its a nit picky thing. If my only complaint about the phone is the font is too big then HTC is doing something right.

Cannot agree more on the font size!!!
I'm getting a little annoyed by the font size too!!
Received my One S yesterday and the font size is the first thing that caught my nerves!!! I was like !!!
Especially in the Email app, even setting the body font size to small, the text is HUGE on the emails!!!
I own a Galaxy Nexus too, and the font size is SOOOOO MUCH more normal and gives you more sizes to choose from!!!
So I'm guessing its a HTC Sense issue...
I actually posted a thread on this problem too (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=24749856)

Rumored T-Mobile will have HTC 10 May 18th $648.99 with Ice View Case and extra charg

I was reading on an article on Droid-Life and one of the posters said to be a T-Mobile Employee and provided this information. If anything sounds mostly true. Also might be in-store only deal not sure.

Where are you getting that date from?
EDIT: Derp Nvm lol

There was a poster on there that said he worked for T-Mobile and they had a briefing. Its the most recent droid-life article for the HTC 10 talking about the update today. If you go in the comments. He has since deleted his post. I'm guessing it was pretty true for him to delete it.

I mean it would fall in line with the time frame. Id bet it gets announced tomorrow giving them a week to advertise. What else really could HTC and T-Mobile throw in? They cant throw in a Vive because its alot more expense than the lg 360 cam like they did with the G5 or what sammy did with the s7/s7e. Plus I'd imagine HTC doesnt wanna discount it too much. They need money lol

Not sure if this page is new or not - http://www.htc.com/us/support/htc-10-t-mobile/

I'll try to check-in with our HTC Rep today and see. We expected a A LOT more info from the webinar other than "launching May 18 with a free Ice View case and extra charger" promo. The way she worded it made it sound like it was going to be a launch day only thing which I hope is not true... They've already made it more difficult to sell by killing off Uh-Oh! on carrier devices.

As per T-Mobile Twitter, no pre-order, just straight up launch.
I am not waiting until the 18th. Since I found another $100 off code that works, I just ordered via HTC with next day air for $7. $650 after taxes. I figure if I resell it this fall if the new Nexus proves to be great, I'll probably recoup what I would've paid in JOD payments anyway. Or if I really love the phone, I'll just return it within 30 days to HTC and use JOD with T-Mobile to get the extra freebies and not have to worry about re-selling later.

I hope this phone is available via jump on demand!

Would you guys / gals trade back in a Note 5 and "Jump" onto the HTC 10 ?
I never once use the S-Pen, and this Note has the same sized 3,000mAh battery as the 10, so they should get close to same battery life ? I always prefer Sense over TW.

I'm definitely trading in my Note 5 for the HTC 10 next Wednesday. I'm just hoping they have the carbon grey available when I go.

Do we think it may be the same model as the unlocked variety except with different hardware? If that's the case, then I hope it would be possible to covert it to an unlocked varient.
