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.
Here's the Clove order page with the new info

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.

Its the same deal as clove with the free SW2 SmartWatch & SBH20 Bluetooth Headset. Altogether it cost me £543.05 You can get it one 3 months interest free credit but I'll just pay it off when the bill arrives.

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....

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!!

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.

Ordered mine from Staples UK online on Tuesday, arrived Thursday morning
Ive just got an email from Amazon.de saying my order placed at the beginning of this week has been delayed due to bottlenecks in production and may take a further one to two weeks to deliver!
Has anyone else got the same?
..and I should say I ordered white.
it could be that amazon has placed 2 orders with the manufacturer.
when i preordered mine on the 9th of may, it still says delivery on the 30th. i spoke on the phone with amazon.co.uk and they told me that they have delivery of an amount of handsets for the 29th and then a bigger delivery on the 6th of june. So i presume is whoever managed to order one early on gets it a bit sooner, and if the stock for delivery on the 30th is gone, then that is why your's might come a bit later.
Amazon.co.uk website is still offering preorders for delivery on the 30th of both blue and white.

i suppose that is from the german amazon.de? right?
actually here is a note from amazon.co.uk when you visit the page that sells the phone:
Note on Samsung Galaxy SIII Availability:
We have been made aware that there may be a slight delay in the arrival of some Samsung Galaxy SIII stock into the UK. We will keep you informed of any new information as soon as we receive it. All pre-orders will be fulfilled on a first-come first-served basis and we will not charge your credit card until we are ready to ship your order.
lets hope its delivered as expected!!!
I got an email May 10th saying mine will be delivered June, between 4 and 9, no more emails since
I pre-ordered the white one on May 12th on Amazon.de, and haven't gotten the email yet. Spoke with Amazon reps some of them said that this is a "technical error" (that I haven't received the email), others have said that it might be dispatched, but that they "don't want to make any false promises". My status page still says 30.5.
There already was a discussion on this topic in Galaxy S III Pricing, Availability and Pre Order Thread
There are quite a few in the amazon forum reporting that amazon told them upon request (like the chat) that there is a delay of one or two weeks and that the displayed delivery date of the order may not be correct.
I am one of those.
I have read at least one updating the shipping method to the fast one and this caused the delivery date to be updated to about two weeks later.
According to most personal of amazon.de this delay includes anyone who did a preorder.
We'll have to wait until next week to find out if this is true.
What a chaos!!!11Eleven
If I look at the amazon.de page at this moment, you can order the blue and white version for 621,- € with delivery at 31.5

Yes, but this one is not sold by Amazon directly, but by Notebook.de. Amazon still sells at 587 EUR with 1-3 weeks delay.
Does anyone know where I could buy the phone locally in Austria (Vienna)? Saturn doesn't have it on the website, neither does MediaMarkt.
Nope.
It looks like the delay is not restricted to amazon but most or all vendors.
I don't think you'll get lucky with a normal vendor.
Don't expect saturn or mediamarkt to have them any time soon, the austrian ones are always slow on picking up new stuff compared to the german ones.
Maybe there is more luck with a mobile operator, but I did not check on this since I am not interested in buying it with a contract and have it sim-locked (if you are willing, then the offer from orange.at might be a good one).
But hey, it's 'just' supposted to be one or two weeks.
Drink tea, relax and wait (yea I know, it's hard, i'm just trying on that myself)

I also got an email from Amazon.de today. I pre-ordered a pebble blue S3 on the 15th of May. It now says that it will be delivered from June, 14th to June, 15th.

Same here. This is a bit frustrating. Samsung should've addressed this problem earlier, how could they let this slip? After all, this is one of the most anticipated phones of the year.
I was wondering if anybody else who pre-ordered from clove got any word on when they would start shipping the Z2? The only answer I got so far is early to mid-May. I've never ordered anything from Clove before so I don't know what to expect.

I think Clove is doing their job. They are very quick on posting responses on their blog and very knowledgeable and dedicated to their business. They even pulled the Z2 from the top part of their website. I believe the problem is with Sony, and they have been slammed with orders worldwide. Sony did not expect this many orders and were not prepared for it. A little lack of strategy and market planning, but still, I'm waiting on mine and it's all good.

Just to let you know, I called Clove today and they said that there's a problem with the distributor in the UK.
According to clove the distributor upgraded their software system and messed it up so the stock is stuck in their warehouse.
Apparently clove offered to go and collect it but the distributor said they would still need to mark the inventory as having gone out which they are struggling to do...
They are hoping for the phones to get sent out later in the week
I've got the refund from them now. In the end though I am returning the phone to Amazon, mainly due to the side buttons. I don't like them!
Two week delay on mine. Got an e-mail from Sony offering me a free 'cover' due to the delay. I'm in two minds to take them up on the offer.
Quote - '
Unfortunately we are facing delivery delays due to a technical issue in our warehouse. We are expecting a two week delay to your order. To thank you for your patience we would like to offer you the Xperia 1 III Cover, RRP £34.99, free of charge.'
Plus I got a Google Nest Hub 7" shipped to me by mistake instead of the headphones. I need those ear warmers. Winter is coming.
Well I've been using the mk3 for a bit next to my s21 ultra and one of them need to go back under the 14 day cooling period lol just don't know which one to keep
Must admit the mk3 display is great but not very bright compared to the s21 ultra even just playing hdr videos indoors
Cameras are both good (s21 ultra is amazing with zoom though)
Battery life seems better on the s21 ultra (even though I have the exynos variant)
Just something about the Sony in the hand and the software just feels better
Aahhhh need to make my mind up quickly lol
Good news, they beat the two week delay by three days. Going to retire my Poco F1. It served me well up until I broke the screen. It's still my alarm clock. I'm waiting on an update about my headphones from the shippers, I chased them up today and they are still looking into it. If I don't get anything satisfactory from them within a week, I'll calling Sony. The free cover with stand is out of stock but I think I'll pass on that.
Ordered mine from Amazon UK last week shipping between end of September to end of October
Anyone been in a similar situation and got theirs early?
Amazon had a few units ship direct from Sony. Everyone else was waiting on the distributor (either Exertis or Ingram Micro, not sure which) due to their IT system ****up which was spectacular. Clove were more patient than I would have been but I guess every wholesaler was in the same boat. A singularly unimpressive start to this phone launch, with stony silence from Sony UK. I received my unit from Clove last Saturday.
Here we go again!
I placed an order for a S23 Ultra 512gb in "Sunset Red", traded-in my S22 Ultra!
at Samsung.ca
Same here. Looking forward to the improved photo / video capabilities and the extra HP under the hood.
Same. Just traded in my s21 ultra they're giving me 800 discount for it I thought that was very decent for a 2 years old phone! And the free upgrade to the 512gb/12ram variant is a nice touch too (apparently the 256gb only has 8gb Ram?). Now hopefully they ship it a bit in advance
I got the red 1tb s23 ultra red variant with $50 off and apparently free galaxy buds 2 or some nonsense.. I have Anker noise canceling headset I bought in Tokyo at the Anker store on Black Friday.
Placed my order for the 512GB Graphite version . They gave me $487 for trading in my Note 10 (smaller regular version) and got the ear buds as well

That's not bad for a near 4 year old phone. Have a N10+ and Telus would only quote about $200 for mint condition, when even the s22U was first released.
Freedom "saves" around $647 on "trade up" and it looks like pretty much every mobile shop here rips people off for trade in value, even if you keep a 2 year upgrade cycle (Samsung appears to be much better in this regard, even for older devices).

Same. I was actually pretty impress with the trade in offer for a 2 plus year old phone. By the way did you try looking up your expected delivery date? Weirdly says starts shipping on 17th March. Do you reckon that's a glitch? I did order bunch of accessories for the phone. Does that have anything to do with that?
What seems to be the expected shipping date for the orders here gentlemen? I am somehow supposed to receive the phone and the accessories after 17th march. That's not what i pre-ordered for.
Mine still says shipping from Feb 8 but if you selected one of the online exclusive colors I had noticed some shipping dates were later. And I remember when I preordered my s21 ultra it shipped a few days later because they were waiting on one of the accessories.
Do a live chat with them they should be able to tell you which item is causing the delay and if it's an accessory you can most likely ask them to remove it from the order.
I saw if you ordered one of the specialty colors it said it would ship in 5-6 weeks. I didn't notice it when I ordered and I did order a specialty color.

Yeah turns out it was the exclusive color as well some accessories. I am trying to reconnect to live chat but the waiting times are hella long. Hopefully i can cancel the order and go for the cream color instead.
Thanks
The shipping dates are just approximate. Most just say February 17th because that's when you officially can buy one from a retail store. From my experience with the S20U and S22U the Unlocked models usually come 2-3 days earlier than when stores get them. Carrier Phones arrive even sooner as they get priority over Unlocked models. So take those delivery dates with a grain of salt as they are just estimates which are always later than when you actually will get them.
Here is something even weirder for this year. On the past two phones I ordered from Samsung they would bill me when I placed the order to make sure the funds were available. It would say pending and then after 2 to 3 days it would drop off my credit card and I would get the funds back and Samsung wouldn't bill me again till it shipped. Well that happened again this year and I got the funds back. But today it actually cleared pending and dates yesterday as a past and cleared purchase which I even got the 1.5% cashback on. They never give me the Cashback until the sale is actually completed So that most likely means I'll be getting a notification soon that it shipped. Could Sammy be shipping earlier this year?
So like I said take those delivery dates with a grain of salt. Some people have gotten theirs already in Europe. The custom colors are getting a limited run and not surprised to see those pushed back till March.

If you cancel your just going to the very back of the line.

Okay so i am talking to an agent right now and he recommended the same thing to not cancel the order. It might just arrive earlier than anticipated. What i am worried about is the two accessories that i ordered (screen guard and a silicon case), those two clearly has pre-order emblem on them and the agent did confirm i would get everything in a single package so little bit skeptical but lets hope for the best.
Attached screenshot of order for reference

Strangely from the point of selecting the color, to all the way to checkout, i was greeted with a shipping out date of 8th February.

Just have patience you will get it eventually. If you cancel your just going to have to wait even longer especially if they ran out of the first batch of stock which would push new order dates back to late March. Seen that happen before and peeps always regret their impatience.
