Im looking to upgrade to the HTC Titan from the HD2 and using Quidco i get a nice £50 cashback deal if i get it from the Carphone Warehouse website. But, for at least the last week its constantly said Out Of Stock.
Does anyone know (perhaps an insider) if and when stock may become available again, or are they flying off the shelves as soon as stock is available?

I dont think their ordering too many of them. Generally any Windows Phone they seem to store sweet **** all of them, even the Lumia's are hard to come by...
It seems to be in stock on their website - can't you order and have it delivered to your home or local store?
Hmmm, it hasnt been anytime i have looked. Just checked again now.
Though i do wonder if they have 1 or 2 in stock at a time which then get snapped up almost instantly, so maybe i just need to catch it at the right time.
Seems though though i could get either lumia or the radar straight away. But i want the titan, sigh. This trusty old Touch Diamond is starting to grate now :\

I wouldnt recommend the Radar. Its not a bad phone for the price. But the screen on it is not great, only way to use the Radar is with a white theme as the blacks are washed out as hell on that.
Lumia 800, HTC Titan, Samsung Omnia W are probably the best WP7 handsets out.
Samsung Omnia W is probably the best of the whole lot cause it has all the good specs for a cheaper price. Unless you need 16GB of storage which leaves you out to the Lumia and the Titan.
Got mine free on a 12 month contract with dial.a.phone and unlimited everything basically. Carphone warehouse had no stock and kept trying sell me a blackberry lol.
Hmm so an update, i decided to click through the carphone warehouse website and picked the upgrade deal i wanted and it decided to let me proceed to checkout (it said stop because of no stock when i tried that last a couple of weeks ago). All has now gone through and i should have something to play with tomorrow or Thursday!
So it seems that the Out of Stock note on the Carphone Warehouse website is actually a bit of a fib. Nevermind, the £50 cashback they give Quidco to give to me will be quite nice
I hope you like your Titan when it arrives, was you running Windows Mobile / Android or Windows Phone on your HD2?
Not bad, ordered at 6pm, confirmed at 7pm, it arrived at 12pm
Its very nice actually. Ive been on Windows 6.5 (not an Android fan!) but it is a bt of a change
Well firrst Titan I bought in 2 january it was in the stock, and when I bought second Titan, as well was in stock. I don't seen any problem bought from CW.

I was hoping to get it on T-Mob/Orange but they have no mention of it
Can't believe they've not put a FFC on it. Every other manufacturer is releasing mango phones specifically with FFC, and Nokia, who everyone's been waiting on for a beautiful phone, drop a bollock. Really stupid move.
If all Orange are going to stock is the Mozart and Radar I will be switching network at the start of next year. Two fairly low-end devices.
Its available on clove now http://bit.ly/vuyU06
I have been showing some pics of the Lumia 800 to the wife, she wants one - NOW - she has been using my HD7 for the last couple of weeks and loves WP7, but the design of the Lumia has totally wowed her, she wants the blue one!!!
O2 willl deffo have it i have been talking to them this morning but fell out before we talked price due to not doing early upgrades anymore less you on over £36 a month (idiots).
T-mobile have said they cant confirm or deny and to check back later but have told electricpig they will stock it along with three orange and vodafone

Great news, I know there was a leaked roadmap for Orange France that showed the 800 so i guessed it may be the same across the other european arms too..
Does anyone know where the blue is going?
Phones 4 U have an awesome deal considering it's a brand new phone (Preorder). Free Phone, 600 Mins 3000 Texts, 1GB Data £28 a month free phone.
They only have it in black though and I want the blue asked the support and they said they don't know if or when they will get the blue version

I'm thinking of just waiting tbh.
My T-Mobile contract is up this February and I already have a Samsung Omnia 7. I could then just get a Blue Nokia Lumia 800 in February (This is me assuming that the blue version is going to have a delay).
The other possibility I've come to is that the Blue Lumia is exclusive to Vodafone. This is because, Three, Phones4U and CarPhoneWarehouse all display the black phone. If you go on Vodafone's site they show the Black AND Blue model (although don't have their tarrifs or preorder information up).

Yeah but these Tariffs either link to three.co.uk (which shows a coming soon page) vodaphone, carphone warehouse or phones 4 u.
Carphone warehouse clearly states they only have black, Phones 4 U have told me they only have black and Three only display the black phone.
Also on a side note, why do Americans say No-Kia and not Nokia?

well if 3 is doing blue i wouldnt of thought it would be locked to a specific currier as (i may be mistaken but from what i have seen) they never get exclusives like that. If it was orange or O2 i would thnk game over. Vodafone has a countdown to preorder at 7 days and i am guessing that in order for one not to complain about the other they will all go live at the same time otherwise they would be capturing the early birds. I think black is just unlocked models they are selling with contracts.
Gave my details to three instore today to ask about the Blue version, they said they didn't know yet. Orange store said they would know on Monday about prices and what colours they're getting - They also said the free Xbox deal was for everyone who gets the device on launch, not just upgrades... it just so happens that the device is being offered to upgrades first
Also, for anyone thinking of getting the device all the stores told me that the phone is proving to be VERY popular and they're anticipating iPhone like queues and sellouts so if you're thinking of getting one make sure you preorder.
Oh this is great news think i might pop to the orange store in my local town yay new xbox my old one can go in the bedroom lol. Best not sell out beforei get one though but then i dont think anyone in the world is as obssessed by it as me so i stand a good chance lol
Wow... well that's encouraging.
Whislt there is nothing really wrong with my Omnia 7 ... the 800 just looks lovely Bah months to go till i upgrade though...
I need one in blue and it needs to be on O2, hopefully car phone warehouse can sort me out alternately it's off to clove for an unlocked one, assuming they have blue
Cheapest/Best deal I've seen so far on orange:
http://www.buymobilephones.net/mobi...utm_campaign=Lumia800PreOrder&adnetwork=email
Free phone, 200 minutes, unlim texts, 750mb internet and free BT Openzone access £26 p/m.
Phoned them up, they're only getting the black.
I'm wondering how people in the US are buying their HTC Flyer. I thought Bestbuy sold them but I went to 4 best buy on yesterday and none of them had stock. None of them knew when or if they would get more. I looked online and no best buy in my area has them (very odd since I live in L.A.). Is there another place to get them for $299? Is this device discontinued? I really don't want to go the ebay route. Thanks in advance!
When the price drop occurred most places sold out without any new inventory .... I don't think they are getting more shipments as they are trying to get rid of all of the accessories ...

Looks like Best Buy and HTC pulled a "Touchpad" at better than salvage pricing. Our Best Buy says they are waiting for deliveries of the new Jetstream model, but I can't see much demand for device that costs $699 and requires a two year contract on AT&T.
No fire sale, they lowered the price to compete with the Kindle Fire. After that they've been selling out quickly. I purchased mines two weeks ago. One store in NYC had them. The following week every store in my area had them.

Bestbuy.com lists it as online only. I don't know if they do a ship to store option.. If so, that will save a few bucks on shipping costs

I lucked out and got the last one in my area.
I got mine about 2.5 weeks ago at the BB here. They only had 3 left. I went back to BB 2 nights ago to get the invisible shield by Zagg ($9.99) and I got the last one.
They still have cases and styluses, though.
The stores in the New Orleans area still had them when I visited over the weekend.
well, 4 out of 10 stores in or near Omaha have them in stock based on the website and they show as backordered otherwise. While I think the 7" is an ideal size for my needs, I think the general market may lean toward the larger screens as a mainstream device and the smaller screens thought of more as book readers.
cheers

Thanks for the input guys. I just left one best buy and they didn't even have the flyer on display anymore. I have a cousin in Texas who is close to a best buy that has stock so I will have him buy it for me. Everything seems to indicate that the flyer is at the end of it's life and I have to wonder if it will be updated to HC or ICS. Nevertheless, I still want to buy one since it is pocketable and allows me to take precise notes.
I picked mine up about 2 weeks ago and i got the very last one. I used to work at the geeksquad in the store and i was talking to the GM and he was saying they sold out really quick after the price drop. He didnt mention anything about it being discontinued though.
The Flyer is not being discontinued, it's just been selling really well.
I had been looking for a flyer for a couple of weeks, checking my best buy every day. All stores close to me had been showing out of stock. Then last weekend I went to the store and they had 1 in the store so I bought it. It was new and unopened so it wasnt a return. I think its just taking a while to full stock. I'm sure the price drop on accessories is because they have too much on the shelf vs the number off flyers in stock.

I just bought mine yesterday. Had to drive to gretna to the bestbuy mobile store to get teh last one, after visiting the 3 stores in/around Metairie and calling the houma store (only one to show inventory online). After calling around I lucked out and the BBM store had 1 that wasn't showing in inventory. There aren't any within a 50 mile radius of new orleans! These things must be selling like hotcakes.
Want to pick one up but wasn't ready to pull the trigger. Only 3 stores have any in inventory. Concerned there will be no back fill and this is my last shot

You may be on your last shot...seems that Adroid device shelf-life is counted in "dog months" - in other words 5 months on the market is nearly 3 years - they definitely are not tied to an annual upgrade cycle.
Anyone hear of any good deals on the HTC Titan releasing on AT&T this Sunday? I know it'll be $200 straight from AT&T on a new/upgrade line. Anyone hear anything else from other retailers?
Or even, what is the unactivated price of the phone? Haven't seen AT&T speak a word about it being bought outright.
no **** if they can register online for a new windows phone for $0.01 and i am thinking that Titan would be the same.
Or will be and Bogo (Buy one get one) like other rumor before.
So sad that i am not american, or having SSN to register online.
Would love to trade in my UK Titan for AT&T Titan since i need U.S Agent on the phone, not UK.
Finally listed on the AT&T site: http://www.wireless.att.com/cell-ph...+TITAN+(TM)&q_sku=sku5400337#fbid=VqHNNV47IAn
$199.99 on a 2 year commitment
$549.99 without a commitment
Oh yeah. Are you gonna get it my friend? I need some review of At&t version just in case some **** change inside the phone compare to the UK vesion

Course I'm gonna get it. I just want to find a place with the best price today. XD
Went to my local AT&T store today and they did not get any Titans in yet.
What a disappointment!
Same here. I've called every store in a 75 mile radius, and none of them have it in stock. My local store says they don't even have an estimate of when they will get any.
So frustrating for ATT to post that it will arrive on the 20th, but then they don't have ANY available to get your hands on.
I even went online to upgrade my line on the ATT site, but when I click that I want to upgrade, it gives me the iPhone ONLY! No options for any other phone. Hmmm Starting to sound like Bill upset ATT at some point...
I just called 611 and asked them where I could get it. She put me on hold and called all the same stores I did and got back on the line and let me know she was unable to find any either.
Also, my local ATT Rep that I deal with told me that ATT took his Company Owned WP7 from him and replaced it with an LTE Android phone. He said he asked to keep his WP7, but they will not allow him to because they are pushing their LTE network. He's pretty frustrated...
I'll cross-post this from my original WPCentral post.
I had to try two stores but the 2nd one actually had the Titan on display, in the place of the Focus. It was next to the Focus S, which was convenient.
Impressions:
Love it. I want one, definitely. Build quality is fantastic, feels great on the hand, not too large at all.
I compared the screen to the Focus S and I prefer the Titan. The white point is better and it doesn't turn blue when you view at an angle. The contrast is also very good, though obviously the blacks on AMOLED are nill, and LCD can't compete with that. But blacks are not the only screen characteristic, and combining them all, I prefer the Titan's. On full brightness, I think both were equivalent.
I prefer the Titan's button layout. Not going to do many accidental button presses when handling, unlike the Focus S.
The one thing I prefer about the Focus S is the oleophobic screen coating. I tend to have moist hands, and my finger glides with less effort on the Focus S, whereas on the Titan it's more like sliding down a regular piece of glass. I will get used to it, but I thought I'd mention it.
Oh, the Focus S was plugged in and it DEFINITELY has a typing lag. The Titan was not plugged in, and everything was fluid and snappy, including typing.
I had a conversation about the $0.01 sale and they caught onto some language on the AT&T site that says:
Exclusively at att.com - starting Friday, November 25 through Monday, November 28, customers can enjoy select Windows 7, BlackBerry and Android devices starting at only a penny.

But below, under Saturday, it clearly says "All WP7 devices."
They sent an e-mail to a manager to see if they could do anything about that deal for me, as well as waive activation on the two lines. If not, I'll just wait until Saturday and order online without the hassles and arguing.
On a side note, they also said the employee discount does NOT apply to the $30 messaging unlimited service item, only to the base plan and data package. This is a bummer, if true. I'll try arguing with Premier over the phone after I get all set up, either this week or next Saturday.
Hell, I can't even find a store that 1. Knows what phone I'm talking about. And then 2, has the Titan in. I went to two separate stores and the first girl didn't know what phone I was talking about and said, I don't think we have a phone called that. You may be referring to the "Vivid"? Another associate walked by and she asked her. She said she saw the display in the back, but the phone hadn't come in. Try back tomorrow around noon. Second store, the lady at first didn't know about the Titan, then after I jogged her memory, she said oh yeah, we have the display out, but no phones. She proceeded to ask her manager about it and he said, they pushed their ship date back and it may be a few days. WTF!
I tried almost 10 different stores in the Kansas City Missouri/Kansas area and all of them either did not have any, didn't get it in yet, or sold what little they had. One store had a demo, another store said they sold 2 this morning but that was all they had.
Most of the stores told me that they were expecting them tomorrow. So I guess I'm making another trip out tomorrow...
So, what happened? The iPhone was EVERYWHERE! Ready to sell at midnight +1 second. Why is this phone so hard to get ahold of? Did HTC Fail on shipment? Did ATT Fail on ordering? What the heck? And WHY did ATT announce it's Nov 20th availability, when they knew they would not have it?
Hey, I'm a big boy, so I'll survive, but it is a bit silly...
It's frustrating that iPhone is treated like a princess, even though many people really don't prefer it. My thought is that Apple is kicking back a LOT of money to ATT to make it so.
If you have a Microsoft retail store in your area, most likely they are in stock.
oh yeah? so look like all americans can buy titan pretty cheap.
i might look for somebody here to trade in the UK version for US version if there aren't any downgrade in the hardware. Ha!
Maybe, because i just can't stand the British accent.
Hit me up when you have them, i want to hear the review from you guys.
AT&T Titan
Just picked up my Titan from the AT&T store yesterday after church. The guy said it was the last one. I asked how many did you get? He said only one. I'm like WHAT! What's up with that man?! So he says they don't get many of the new phones when they're first released. So I asked how about the new android phone. They got 6 of those in. So I said dude, why is AT&T hatin on WP7. LoL
Anyway, it was only $99 in the store yesterday. $199 if you purchased online. Don't know if the price is the same today or not but that was my experience.
So far so good. I logged in to my windows live account online, went to market place and reinstalled all of my app's that I previously had on my HTC Surround. The apps were practically installing as fast as I could go through my list and choose them. When I clicked on the last one to install and checked my phone out it was already done. I had my phone connected to my wifi at the time. The flash is super bright, and the battery life has been good. Had full battery still when I woke up this morning. Didn't leave it charging. Then I took the Navigon GPS software for a test run on the way to work this morning. Battery is holding pretty well after a 30 minute drive using GPS. Looks like it may have dropped maybe 10%. I'll report again this evening after a full days use.
I'm planning on ordering this online Friday for a penny.. I was going to wait for the 3rd gen phones but for a penny I cannot resist!!!

$99 in store? What!? Is that special pricing or something or did it actually say that on the price tag in the store?
I totally didn't look at the price tag of the demo phone, I was too busy looking at the phone. I should double check today!
I also picked one up, but not for $99 ($199). I'd like to know if they messed that up too, or if you just got lucky.
My daughter invited us to dinner last night about 50 miles away from my house, so I made calls to stores close to her. The closest one was 25 miles past her house and they only had 1 left out of 4. The held it for me, and now I am the proud owner of a new Titan. So far, I really love it. I have not had a chance to play much, but I'm sure I'll be posting more as I get into it more.
I'm REALLY glad to hear about the battery being pretty good a couple posts up. My Focus was dying pretty quickly, so I hope this helps.
Congrats to all the other new owners!
PS: I did get a chance to try Tango Video Chat with my Wife's iPhone 4s, and I have to say, the video quality in & out is 200% better on the Titan than it was on my Focus.
i think i will go to Radioshack or AT&T store today and check if they have them because i see none last night at bestbuy.
Well, welcome aboard the Titan Owner Club guys, prjkthack just need to buy it,my friend. haha.
can you guys check if the AT&T version do the turn-by-turn navigation with bing map?

I'm sure as long as its in the US with a US Live ID, that turn-by-turn will work with Bing. I don't think its a phone/hardware thing, more of a location of the phone/regional setting/Live ID thing.
Also, Radio Shack doesn't have any in-store. They do online. They generally don't carry a lot of Windows Phone devices (almost none to be exact).
Update: Gave in and just ordered it directly online from at&t. Which I guess I won't have to deal with store employees but at the same time, just means I gotta wait another day or two. Hopefully it ships out today.

It works just like it did on my Focus. Tap to hear the next item... ATT/California, US
I'm considering getting the flyer for xmas.
I noticed at bestbuys website it says "no shipping" and when I check to see if they have it in stock locally it doesn't show up.
I am not hard set on getting it yet, because I'm really wondering if I just want a new toy and it will sit collecting dust after a few weeks of usage..
Or I will seriously use it for ereading/manga purposes.
I'm sure HTC is not manufacturing any more, but that's normal for companies to make a big production run and then move on to the next new device. So whatever stock was out there , when its gone , its gone. Looks like BB is out, so I only see them on other sites now. I guess some of the carriers like Tmob and Sprint still have the 3g/4g versions in stock.
it does sort of suck they haven't officially announced that they are no longer manufacturing it.
Oh well..
Most, or perhaps all manufacturer don't keep assembly lines open just to pump out a few more units. They make a big run, take a look at initial sales and either make one more run or switch over to new hardware. They don't need to announce it, that's just the only way to keep prices competitive. And the hardware guys don't make money selling old products at a reduced price. 6 months is old news in hardware
true.. I may see if I can use the "ship to store option" and see if they can get one..
If not.. oh wells.
Have you considered getting the EVO View 4G? They have brand new ones for $299 (was $275 over Thanksgiving week) which includes shipping and no tax outside of FL.
http://reaganwireless.com/htc-evo-view-tablet.php
FYI, I'm not associated with this company and it was posted previously by others. IMO it's a great deal.
Best buys have recently told me that they may be ordering more. There's still hope for late-comers like me.
I'm sure HTC or some wholesalers has a pile of them somewhere in a warehouse. Like the few hundred tech4less dumped over the weekend at $199.
Well I really wish they would just mark it as "sold out" and take away the add to cart option so we would know.
Small update, I emailed HTC and they said they have no knowledge of the flyer being discontinued.. so something is fishy on the bestbuy side..
I ordered the HTC EVO View 4G from here: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=150705761318#ht_840wt_1396, $314.00 and free shipping, though I noticed today there's another for $309.00, also with free shipping, here http://www.ebay.com/itm/Brand-New-H...US_Tablets&hash=item2a1583150e#ht_4654wt_1163
It's cheaper than Regan Wireless' $329.00 price right now. He seems to have a pretty good amount. I also plunked down for the SquareTrade warranty.
That's a stock answer form HTC on almost every question. You can just about be guaranteed that HTC has not been manufacturing any Flyers since May 2011. THat would be standard procedure. Whatever their production number was, that's what supply exist. They did make another run of the View / 4g for Sprint.
You really don't think that Best Buy can say to HTC , hey we need another 2000 Flyers and HTC is going to go "snap" sure we will spend another $500k setting the assembly line back up just for your tiny order".
Guess i got mine just in time I thought it was something to do with floods in Thailand
Or maybe they're just backordered. This has happened a couple times in the last few months and somehow they always seem to reappear. If you can get it shipped to the store in 3-5 days from BestBuy that means it's still available.

The production line hasn't manufactured Flyers in a while.
It's obvious HTC is not very enthusiastic about the tablet market. Afterall, the profit margin on smartphone is much higher than the cut-throat tablet markets.
I've already ordered
Some of you may want to check the best buy website this morning...

For better. I love my flyer.
Hopefully this thing will see ICS.
Even if I have to code it myself :0
And after playing with it in store.. I gotta admit.. this tablet is sleek and sexy.
Only thing I'd consider over it is nook tab... but, even then I feel really confident about this device.

You slow, you blow. I was all set to spend $299 at Best Buy but their people are incompetent. I got a new flyer for $174 from Tech For Less.
Ok so I have been wanting to buy this phone since launch. My HD2 works fine with WP Rom but USB is faulty so cannot sync or charge. External charger for battery required.
Anyway, the price of sim free titan is now £285. I really want to buy this but worried about these issues:
1. WiFi cellular network allocation
2. Muffled voice during call
3. Antenna issue
4. If new and better phone launched at end of year.
what shall I do? Buy now or wait?
Thank you!
1. I had problems with wifi in the past, but since the last update it improved a lot in my opinion
2. The voice quality is not the best on this phone,but it isn't horrible either.
3. Never had any issues. When Im in college or at the cinema I have some signal loss, but so do m friends
4. There will always be a better phone
Hope you find this useful!

I am so jealous that your SIM free is just £285. I got it in November last year and paid £480!
I would say it's a steal at that price. There will be only one top-notch, well two, handsets till Oct this year - Titan 2 and Nokia Lumia 900. They won't be here till May-June.
Titan can be upgraded to Apollo. My plan is sell Titan in Oct and use that money to invest in a native Apollo handset instead of Titan2/Lumia900. I think you've got to get it and enjoy it. Then go for the next phone! There will be a better phone every 3 months. If you wait for it, you will never dive into the enjoyment
Nothing wrong with this handset at least not the UK ones. Get it from Carphone Warehouse if you can. The problems you are reading about are generally in the US handsets especially the AT&T ones.
Thanks mate for your reply
Yes the handset is now 299.99 plus 5% quidco bringing it to 285.00. I posted the deal here http://www.hotukdeals.com/deals/htc-titan-windows-phone-sim-free-285-after-quidco-expansys-1186159
Did you buy your handset sim free? I always do and dont do contracts. Am on simplicity deal for years. I bought my hd2 for £500 on launch day. Am tempted to buy Titan now.
Also are you positive Titan 2 will launch in UK? Where did you hear that? I thought it was for AT&T only.
PS ignore the rant i had with one guy in the HUKD thread

Haha, I think Titan is good for UK as Titan 2 comes with LTE in the USA. However, the rumour has it that it will follow the Nokia Lumia 900 (which comes here in May). But instead of LTE version UK will get the 3.5G version - which still I don't think any other network but O2 will benefit from here in the UK. So both the new phones are pretty pointless for the UK. Plus Titan 2 comes with a plastic back to make up the heavy weight of the 16 MP camera. I got Titan only because it felt sturdy. I am sure Titan 2 with plastic won't be the same thing to hold! I already have issues with 3G in the UK, I don't think 3.5G (Dont know the technical word they used) will help my battery or usage!
Yes always best sim free, The UK handsets seem to be more stable than the AT&T, Bought mine second hand and it had to go for repair at HTC but probably because the previous owner dropped it lol, Not suffered from any Voice problems or any Wi Fi issues and to be honest at that price you can't really go wrong, Antenna is all down to good contacts on the rear casing and never had any problems, As mentioned by Drupad you will have the option of the Apollo Update later in the year which should be interesting.
Is it written anywhere that the Titan will be upgradeable to Apollo? Any link?
Also if new handsets or native Apollo handsets will be out at the end of the year, would it be worth it to buy Titan now if I am only going to get 6-8 months use out of it before a better phone comes out?
What I DO know is I want a 4.7" screen and i guess there is no promise that the new handsets will be around 4.7" screen wise.
My final question is the HD7's 16gb sd card could be exchanged for a 32gb card with careful surgery Can this be done to the Titan too?
My only problem with Titan is : there is no Custon Rom or Interop-Unlock Yet.
but in the future it will be out.
you wont regret it, jut buy it.
I am SO close to buying it. Can do it in 10 seconds. I bet I buy it and one week later leaks of better handsets get out.
I ended up buying it and love the phone although family angry with me saying I spent a lot of money on a brand new phone and my voice sounds muffled
Temptation got the better of you then lol, Good choice, Great phone, not had any problems with voice being muffled, Only suggestion is to move the mic nearer to ya mouth, Looks as though we may not be getting the full Apollo going by the latest posts on ere but we should definitely get Tango and hopefully some form of update which maybe a form of Apollo, Its all guessing at the moment, Enjoy your Titan as most of us are doing for now, There will always be a better newer handset on the Horizon.
