Think its contract only. Want to get one on PAYG or SIM FREE on 27th but I doubt they'll have them unlocked. I'm going early in the morning on wednesday, so I'll update on here if its availible on PAYG or Sim Free
EDIT: Here suggests it'll be availible PAYG for £499 on Wednesday
I emailed them and got a reply back saying there fones aren't unlocked?...
I know CPW's handsets are unlocked... I work for O2 and have heard there coming soon, not sure of deals as I work in customer services lol.

I really hope they have some sim-free in store on 27th, hopefully CPW wont have took my money out of bank if i can grab 1 from there early.
I asked about this and my local CPW and P4U both said they were unlocked, but that means they can take any network's sim card. It doesn't mean they don't come on a contract - that's referring to as "sim-free" and even that's a bit of a misnomer as it could have a PAYG sim.
I don't know if I'm being helpful or pedantic here. I mean the former, honest!
handtec if im saying that right, has them on the 27th for sale, unlocked no contract, hit them up

Actually they are shipping out on 28th according to the website.
29th is holiday, 30th and 1st is weekend, 2nd is holiday. So in any case people wont get their phones before 3rd in UK

I have ordered from them, do you think they can ship the handset on 28th so i can get it on 4th, as it is a international order & also what is the probability that handtec is getting the stock on 27th, coz is heard some people saying that they delay the phones & also all are talking @ phones4u but no one seems interested @ haandtec, I dont know why

well you are correct but maybe they mean they get on 27th and the phones are shipped to your address on the 28th (next day), or ovsly they just dont ship till 28th in which we are doomed lol
Just rang me nearest store and they said they dont have it for sale till the 1st may!! lol very much an exclusive!!,
So, i rang the next nearest shop and they are having them deliverd tomorow for sale wed, so i asked about a sim free model and they said they should have some for sale but they are limited amount so looks like some of us might be lucky to get there hands on 1 on wed 27th,
They are ringing me tomorow to clarify the stock of sim free once they have had delivery.

Just a poll to see where people in the UK have got their TouchPad's from.
EDIT: If you choose Somewhere else please list it in the thread. Thanks!
I've voted under Play.com - but order went through at full price of £349
don't know whether they are now sold out at full price
and don't know whether I'd be able to argue them down to reduced price once it arrives, or whether I'll have to return it.
I'm not keeping at at £260 more than everyone else!!
I'm a 'Somewhere Else'
Today I got my 32Gb for £115 inc VAT through work. Luckily for me I work for a Trade Only IT disti. It's coming on the lorry Thursday, with a hundred or so others for all the guys and gals here (at the office). TouchPad's will outnumber iPads here
Looking forward to this...

I bought over the phone from Carphone Warehouse, so I had to vote "other".
Work for a distributor and they put 50 of each aside in our office for people to buy. Went pretty sharply!

Yeah I know . I've been playing around with it for 30 minutes and it's a steal at this price. Not worth £350 though. I heard HP were getting another batch in, so I'd be surprised if everyone who wanted one didn't get one. The IPS panel really is beautiful.
Hope you all get one soon.

Staples uk has dispatched mine.
Mine shipped from Amazon themselves this afternoon. It`s a 32Gb one and still at £429.99 so might yet go back. Was ordered 10.30pm Monday got a "We know about the pricing. You`ll have to wait and see in 3-5 days for an answer."
reply to my email
happy enough to say I (almost) have one now from play.com - after the mega headache of 'wont drop the price' saga.
it should arrive tomorrow...
Ordered mine from Staples UK online on Tuesday, arrived Thursday morning
Just for anyone looking for sim free stock in the UK, I just got an email from clove saying they are getting some white 920 in tomorrow and their site says £520 inc vat. I'd imagine they'll go quick so get over there if you want one.
I caved and picked one up at the weekend on contract in black and it's an awesome phone. Had a look at white, but actually think black looks classier with the matt finish and also feels nicer to hold than the gloss white. The white still looks very nice though in the flesh - I was very tempted!
Thanks for the heads up ....just ordered mine. Do you know if they come factory sealed? I have had bad experiences of buying SIM free handsets from Amazon in the past where the phones looked like customer returns

We might be eligible to get a free wireless charger from Nokia, Clove are looking into that atm.
If Im not unlucky, I should have it in my hands thursday or friday, as the phones arrive today after FedEx has made their pickup and thus will be sent out tomorrow.
I figuratively cannot wait!

I ordered mine around 8pm (Norwegian time) yesterday, got this email at 11.16am today:
"Many thanks for the information. Your order will now be progressed. When we send your order you will receive your tracking reference by email. We are expecting our machines today, however, probably not in time for Fedex, so your order will be shipped Wednesday for delivery within 1-2 working days."
A user on a norwegian discussionboard ordered as well around the time I ordered, and his just changed to SHIPPING about 15 minutes ago, delivery via DHL.
Im expecting it in-hand by thursday/friday.

Update from Clove.
"Hi all,
Just to confirm:
If you have managed to place an order, your Lumia 920 will be shipped from stock that we receive this week.
We shipped as many orders as possible on 13/11, but due to the late arrival of stock and the timings of our courier collections, we were unable to ship some orders. We do expect to ship remaining outstanding orders today.
At the moment we do not know when we will receive more stock, nor stock of the other colour variants, but will provide an update as soon as we have some more info."

Would it be possible for someone who's ordered from clove be able to confirm the device is factory unlocked please? I'm on an O2 contract, and very tempted to get myself a 920 factory unlocked/sim free, provided it will accept my o2 sim card, unlike the "sim free but locked to EE" devices that phones4u are selling. I know Clove are stating that their devices are factory unlocked, but it'd be nice if this could be confirmed.
Thanks
Ian
A guy on a norwegian smartphone forum got his today, its unlocked.
Also, I have an email from Clove confirming that they are in fact unlocked and will work with my operator here in Norway, which would mean its fully unlocked indeed.
did the norwegian guy get his phone from clove?
Thanks
Ian
Yeah of course, I thought that was implied .

I got mine yesterday too. I am on Giffgaff, which uses the o2 network, which works fine!
So, I pre ordered a C6833 from Clove what seems like an eternity ago & they finally have a date of when the handsets will be shipping. According to their site update this morning: First stock confirmed arriving 12th September, for dispatch on the 13th. Its a shame they'll be shipping out on a Friday as you can almost guarantee that means they'll arrive on Monday rather than Saturday.
I'm sure Sony will confirm this launch date later today in Berlin.

I phoned Clove earlier & asked about the chances of a Saturday delivery. The guy told me if I'd chosen Royal Mail as the delivery method it would be quite likely. If I'd chosen another courier it would almost definitely be a Monday delivery. I changed it over to royal mail on the phone

Well even if yours arrives on Monday you'll be pleased anyway to have a SmartWatch 2 and a SBH20 FOR FREE!
I have to check here for some offers, because 612 GBP plus 26 GBP (s&h) will result in like 750 euros, which is A LOT.
BUT, official Italian Sony site says the base price for the Z Ultra s 729 euros, so I guess I'll have to think about it, given that here a SW2 would cost 199 euros...
I have a friend going to NY mid September, but even with the exchange at 1.35 it wold cost me more than that...
What to do... What to dooooooooo??
EDIT: now that I've seen samsung and Sony (ironically my S3 writes the two initial "s" as I wrote them ) conferences, I'm more than ever convinced on the ZU.
Other than that, buying the ZU from Clove seems a real deal, but I wanted to ask some of you if they have had previous experiences, as in if I incur in some problems, will they change my device, are they reliable? Do they answer promptly to email (as I'm in Italy, I won't be phoning but emailing instead)?

This is my first purchase from Clove although they have been on my radar for a couple of years now so I can't help you with return issues sorry. I did however email them a few times with nagging questions about when they would be expecting the ZU to arrive etc. TBH they took over a day to respond to my emails. They did respond every time & but it wasn't as quick as I'd of liked. Speaking to them by phone seems to be the best method as they have always been polite, helpful & quick to answer any questions.
It does seem like an excellent deal when comparing the freebies from Clove & the prices other retailers are selling just the handset for...

I bought one white ZU (plus SmartWatch 2 and SBH20, luckily it's written on the receipt so no one could tell me "you weren't in time" ), and a DK30 dock for a total of about 674 GBP, a little more than 800 EUR. According to the Sony official site in Italy, I would have spent a little less than 1K EUR, so that's a real deal for me.
What I don't understand is, as this is a preorder (well, part of it, since the DK30 is in stock right now), why they billed me for the full order right away.
I was under the impression that there were a complex following of security questions, and that the billing would be when the product is actually in stock, but I may have misunderstood that.
Could you confirm that when you go to your account, under your order it says "BACKORDER"?
I thought it meant that they had a product and they don't anymore, but maybe they use it as in "we don't have it", full stop.
Waiting for your confirmation...

Yeah, mine says the same... I ordered a sbh52 before I'd ordered the handset as I knew I was going to get it any way & that says preorder but the handset says backorder.
When I spoke to the guy on the phone the other day he assured me I would receive the smartwatch etc & that mine would be from the first batch as I was one of the first orders (August 9th)

Ok, thanks, you really relieved me.
I assume that either they have a lot of handsets on the way, or they didn't have many orders until now.
Anyway, I don't care as long as I have my handset for monday/thursday (I chose FedEx, they're usually quick...)...

I ordered the ZU from Clove ages ago and took payment then so nothing to worry about.
Eagerly awaiting its arrival. What colour did you guys go for? I went for white (my first white Xperia), as it looks more premium than the black version. Which ones did you go for?
I went for black. My Note 2 was white (first white handset I've owned) & I always regretted it when I saw the grey version...
I'll put up with the finger print magnet black this time

I have to say I'm still in two minds - I love the white aluminium finish on the sides and the back will show fingerprint marks less.
However, I'm not keen on the front of the device with the white border, which takes away some of the immersion when viewing content.
I'm in half-a-mind to change, but can't decide. I've been umming and ahhing for days now!
Almost had the same thought - use one of the light backcovers if blacks back is freaking you out.
Giving you the generally harmonious design of the black version, and leaves you alone with cleaning session if you're bugged of it.
Very close to switching my order now, the more I think about it, I think black will be better overall. The XZU will go into a case anyway, so the fingerprint problem isn't too much of an issue.
I just opened an account and ordered the C6833 LTE from here.

Personally I'll be selling the free accessories, so all in ill be paying £400ish for the device.
But seriously dude even if people were paying double that, just let them spend their money as they see fit, its no concern of yours.

Not in my country I'm not. In my country it costs ~£640, I bought it from Clove at 675, but while in my country I would have had only the handset, with that money I paid the handset, a SmartWatch 2, a bluetooth headset SBH20, a DK30 dock, and I also paid for priority shipping.
I won't sell the accessories simply because I would have bought them anyway, so, for me, this is saving money, not "paying stupid money".
You wanna get it in February when it costs 450? Suit yourself, nobody is telling you what to do.
And by the way, I've seen people spending three times what was worth a PlayStation 1 when it first came out just to buy it on D1, and the same thing happens over and over again with hundreds of items, so go and wait for a price cut while we stand in line to get our first batch.

I also ordered my XZU way back in early August(Seems like forever) and saw the confirmed date...I had messaged Clove just after that date was posted and they replied that they still did not have a confirmed date from Sony, so I don't know what to make of this and will hope that this is indeed true....

N1NJATH3ORY - can you get it cheaper or are you just going to wait for the prices to drop?
The information I have from Vodafone regarding my order is that it will ship on the 21st of September. I'm guessing it will take a couple of days to get here.
Did everyone who pre-ordered get the same shipping date, or are they going to stagger the deliveries? Post your shipping experience and expected delivery dates.

That would be awesome but I doubt it will happen. If Vodafone and Samsung both have the same shipping date, it's likely that Samsung has instructed all carriers not to ship preorders until the 21st. Retailers like Kogan and Harvey Norman might not be under such a restriction. If anyone's ordered from a retailer, let us know your shipping date.
Vodafone sent me an SMS yesterday afternoon (14/9/17) saying that my order had progressed. When I clicked the order tracking link, their site said that it was being prepared for shipping.
I checked the order this morning and it says that it's being delivered. Should get a visit from Startrack with my Note 8 today! That's about a week earlier than expected! Nice work, Vodafone.

I received the same thing from vodafone. The first link takes me to the Vodafone website and shows "on it's way", but the actual consignment order on Startrack states an error with instructions to contact the service desk. Very unusual considering Vodafone told me they themselves would only receive the phone on the 21st of September.

Yeah, I got the same error when following the link to Startrack. Not sure what that's about but I assumed that might be due to the high volume of packages Vodafone must be sending out. If it doesn't arrive today, I'll update the thread.
Well, it's 4.45pm here and the phone still hasn't been delivered, so I'm guessing it's not coming until Monday. Bit disappointing as I was hoping to have the weekend to play with my new toy.
Even if it comes on Monday, that'll still be much earlier than I originally thought, so all good really.

I myself am expecting it on the 22nd at the earliest, but hopefully by the 26th.
I hope I'm wrong

The Startrack link now works and they estimate it will be delivered on the 21st. Seems like I got my hopes up for nothing and it won't actually be delivered early. Oh well.

It's worse than that. For my details on Startrack, it shows that the phone has already been picked up from Sydney and delivered to a local Depot only 20 minutes away from me. It seems they have orders to only deliver at a certain date (21st). It drives me up the wall that it will be just sitting on a shelf for four days at the depot until Thursday. Very frustrating.

I received an SMS from Startrack this morning saying that my phone will be delivered by COB today. The link still says the 21st for delivery but I'll keep you updated. If mine gets delivered today, yours might also find its way into your sweaty palm before you were expecting it.
My Note 8 just arrived!!!
Compared to my Note 3, this is one sexy device in the hand. Still setting up the account and sh*t so I can only comment on the physical attributes at this point.
If you're waiting for a Vodafone Note 8, it appears that they're not waiting until the 21st to send them out and the delivery estimates in both the Vodafone portal and Startrack can be disregarded as potentially inaccurate.
I got my note 8 from Vodafone delivered at 10.30 this morning by startrack.
Got mine at 4:30. I am a much happier man.
