The date is very fluid at the moment, and is 100% dictated by HTC.

Rest assured that whatever happens, we should be in the very first shipment of devices, so nobody will get them before us!

Sadly these devices slip EVERY TIME there's a new launch...

Hey dudes, just wonderin if the fone shipped yet? I see its for sale today on ebay and the like!!
My credit card bill keeps staring at me but i have no fone to make it all better!

[PaulOBrien]

The units have not been approved for retail sale anywhere yet.

That's actually an incorrect statement.  Vodafone customers have received theirs late last week.  They have been putting them through some tests, and sharing with others over at xda.  http://forum.xda-dev...ad.php?t=809322

[bobbyphoenix]

Or maybe Vodafone shipped some by accident?  Anyway I'm not trying to call anyone out, but I just want mine already.  Darn Google/HTC!

How is it possible they appear in-store before the pre-orders have been sorted? Does that ever happen?

I ordered mine when the offer was first announced via ModaCo. They have been allocated 100 of the 1000 units that came into the country and I was lucky as I ordered early. The email I received from them says they are expecting weekly orders to be delivered from now on, but I expect they will have a back-log to fulfill. Suggest you get your order in PDQ!

Nice!
I had mine sent to work, so i've got to wait till Monday. Glad it's all lovely!

[electricdemon]

Got mine on Saturday, 'temprooted', and used titanium backup on my nexus one to copy my apps across. I am very happy with my new toy.

It's bloody marvellous! Playing Angry Birds on a true multitouch screen is worth the upgrade alone :-)

Now to ebay my old friend, the Nexus One!

[electricdemon]

Quick question for you guys...


Did any of you get a desk dock/charger?

I didnt!

No desk-dock or desk charger, just a car mount which whilst beeing good and solid I can't get the phone to sit in the mount in a portrait position as it is so large it protrudes over the top of the mount and touches the windscreen pushing it forward slightly!! Probably juts a combination of the angle of my windscreen and the size of the phone but I think I will have to get a new mount for my Brodit clip.

Did anyone have an issue fitting the free screen protectors that came with the phone? Mine were fractionally too large but SuperETraders are sending me a replacement.

[FlicFlak]

Just got an email off Jamie at SET, said mine would be posted on Friday to arrive on Saturday!!
Im in Ireland so im sure it'll actually be next week instead, at least i have a time though!!!
I ordered mine on the 3rd October so everyone should be getting theres soon, cant wait!

Great news.  I ordered mine Oct 1st, so I should be in that shipment also.  Can't wait!

No, me neither...
Maybe they're not out yet... would be good to get some comms from SET.

Seem ok size-wise to me... Usual problem that I don't have a clean room, I've gone through 3 of them now, still not perfect. The little yellow cloth things are not good, little yellow specks come off them when you're trying to clean the screen perfectly.

[andrewilley]

I didn't get a desk dock either, but I assume they are coming soon? I too found the screen protectors were just a fraction too large (vertically) but managed to trim one down reasonably well. I'm glad SET have noticed this and now have replacements, I'll drop them an email so I can get a proper fit.

I don't think I'll be using the car holder as there isn't quite enough movement in the ball joint to allow me to position it exactly where I want in my car. I've always found Brodit mounts to be very good so I think I'm going to order one of theirs with integral charger connection.


I would like to say that I've been very impressed with SuperEtrader overall, considering I'd never heard of them before this order. My phone was shipped as quickly as any UK dealer, and I got it the next day (Thursday). They were also excellent in dealing with a return due to hinge issue and got me a replacement for the weekend. Top marks to their team.

I had the same problem with the car holder and have bought the brodit mount which is superb. I just took the mount off for my Hero and replaced it with the new Desire one. I received my desk charger on Friday but it isn't the greatest quality. I think I will stick with a simple cable.
