UK Retail Availability - Nexus 9 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I am looking to buy a Nexus 9 in a store on Monday after my Amazon Order got pushed back to December.
Anyone has an idea whether the likes of Argos, John Lewis, Currys/PC World will stock and sell the N9 on the 3rd November?

I thought amazon had revised their shipping dates again, to be delivered in november...

Have emailed all of the above, all I get in response is just keep checking the site's often or on release date, poor I know! Good luck hunting.

Let us know if you find anything, I haven't found anywhere that says they will, but there's always hope!

Argos have it listed but it seems it's only for delivery and it looks like the earliest delivery date is Thursday.

Same here - Amazon order delivery bounced to 20 December last night (Following an up date on Saturday that it was coming on the 4th November).
So ordered from Argos - Selected black and now have a confirmed date of tomorrow delivery - 3.95 shipping, however a £10 voucher .

I just tried to order one from Argos (32Gb White) and it showed out of stock at my local warehouse!

Tried to order from Argos this morning, got an email from PayPal to say payment had failed :/ tried again and PayPal payment is now pending but I've got no confirmation from Argos...
In store Argos told me they don't have any planned deliveries to my local store for the N9.
Currys, ever the sales people, evaded all I asked. Will try to pop down just before closing to find out if they've had any delivered.

I'm working tomorrow (Currys). We get delivery on Tuesdays. I'll check the Nexus 9 status for you guys

Well its now listed on Currys/PC World. Strangely they do not have 32gb in Black, just White 16/32gb and Black 16gb.
Currently use the code IPADTAB20 to take £20 off.
Just went through to see if you can collect tomorrow but the earliest you can select is Weds.

Just checked, it's not available in any stores to pick up / check out at the moment. But Currys/PC World have around 200 of each model in the main depo. Which means they should be coming into stores soon. Next delivery is on Thursday (hope it comes in!).

John Lewis has it too
http://www.johnlewis.com/search?Ntt=nexus+9&Nty=1&_requestid=18887898

If anyone wants to have a look. It's available to view and play about with in the Leyton and Enfield Currys/PC WORLD stores. Just went and fiddled about with it, wasn't that impressed

Quick update: Nexus 9 16GB has just gone down to £299 in Currys / PC World.

HTC Flyer Availability (Best Buy US)

So I have pre-ordered my Flyer here state-side at Best Buy (seeing that I work at one)... And just checked the inventory system today and it appears that the tablet is showing an in-stock date of 5/22/11 or this upcoming Sunday!
So I hope that my store gets one, because I'm the only one that has pre-ordered
P.S. This would be the 16Gb WiFi only version of course!
And sorry if someone already posted this!
I hope they come in Friday!

Update please!
Sorry
I haven't been back to work since posting, I return on Friday, however I will have a friend check the SKU for me if he works tomorrow to see if any are on the Truck coming for the weekend!
Sweet, look forward to the update, glitz.
If they are on the truck I will see if I can pick on up on Sunday.
I was hoping the the pre-order folks would get them on or before the 22nd...
Wonder if it would be possible to convert my pre-order into an in store pickup if they are on the shelves Sunday.

"Wi-Fi HTC Flyer Tablet Launches May 22 Exclusively at Best Buy
Best Buy today announced that the Wi-Fi only version of the HTC Flyer™ tablet launches on May 22. All Best Buy and Best Buy Mobile standalone stores, as well as BestBuy.com, will have the tablet exclusively at launch. The HTC Flyer is a fast, portable, light-weight tablet that integrates the immersive and highly intuitive HTC Sense™ experience and enables content including videos, music, games and more to be easily accessed and enjoyed. The addition of the HTC Flyer to our tablet lineup gives Best Buy further opportunity to help connect customers with the mobile technology that best meets their needs."
Is there any word on how much each Best Buy is getting?
I wouldn't mind jumping the border this weekend to get one if theres no shortage.
More Information
So yeah as jwiskowski posted it is official 22nd is the launch date! So I have some rather interesting news, my store has 3 Flyers on order. However they are not listed as in-transit (meaning they will be on the next delivery truck). So it appears that they will probably be drop-shipped just how they did with the iPad 2. So basically that means the UPS delivery person will bring them with regular store deliveries, and being that UPS doesn't ship to us on Sunday... I think it'd be safe to say the stores will have them by Saturday, but clearly they can't sell them until Sunday!
F0l3ert the only way to check this would to be to call the nearest store to you state-side, give them the Flyer SKU (2390524) have them plug that into RSS (the inventory system) and see what they have on order. If they are nice they shouldn't have a problem doing that haha
Oh and the stores on order number is usually excluding their demo unit so that should be an accurate on-hand count (meaning ones they can sell).
Hope to see y'all soon with your Flyers!
Oh and here is a link to the Engadget article outlining the launch details - click here!

Thanks for the tip. I called a few stores around my area and they are all getting about 8 units each. They said it was going to be a free for all on Sunday.
I also called to check if I could change my online pre-order to a in-store pick-up, and they couldn't do it since it wasn't actually shown in-stock at the stores.
Might be an interesting Saturday night / Sunday morning to figure out how I can pick one up before my trip next week.
Can you provide the sku for the pen?
I visited two BB's today (Friday 20th)... both of them had physical possesion of their allotted Flyers... but alas, neither would sell one to me. Told me to wait until Sunday.
I tried.
Best Buy just called me!!!! I am picking up my Flyer today!!!
Flyer is for sale now. Street date of 22nd was lifted and stores were instructed to sell on arrival today. Go get em

I just got mine. They apologized for not calling but apparently just unpacked them. I would say they had 40-50 at my store. (Orlando, Fl)
They had 10 pens out on a rack near tablet/phone accessories. No Flyer specific cases were present. Just generic one-size-fits-most zippered neoprene cases.
I will inbox and review ASAP.
I was at one 90 mins ago. They would not sell me one. Told me to come back on Sunday.

German / Austrian Preorder - Thread

Are there any details about the shipping date for Germany / Austria / Middle Europe?
Amazon.de lists it as "not available at the moment", any other (reliable) pre ordering possibilities with dates?

try at www.cyberport.de , they listed it as 2-4 days, luckily i got mine delivered yesterday from them and njying it
they only have 64GB models available
strange that they have an availability for the 64gb model but actually not for the 32 incl. dock...
but it's a good sign anyway.
however they have really bad reputation @geizhals.at
Amazon.de has the 64gb gold for delivery in 1-2 months, the others are out of stock and will e-mail when available.

I can't confirm that - I've ordered a lot of stuff at Cyberport, and I'm really satisfied with their customer support.
Does anybody know if the 32gb model is available without the dock? I can't find it anywhere, not even on Geizhals.at or Amazon.
Here in Switzerland its early-mid January. 32gb+dock bundle or 64gb for the same prize are the offers. @digitec.ch
cyberport.de now lists all available models for 12th january
Notebooksbilliger.de shipped my 64GB gold
Hey,
Got an email today from notebooksbilliger.de. They shipped my TF Prime, a 64GB gold version, yesterday.
So I will get it by friday (today)!!!
I pre-ordered it 14th November.
I also pre-ordered the same model from amazon (de). But they say it won't be available before 19th January.
But as I will get it today from notebooksbilliger.de I will cancel the order as soon as I hold it my hands.
Still no update on the qwertz keyboard docking. Notebooksbilliger.de has never provided a possibility to pre-order it stand-alone, nor has cyberport.de. The only one who offers it is amazon (de) but they cannot tell when it will be available.
Got an update from amazon.de (32Gb incl. dock, grey, preordered on Nov 17th) about a hour ago.
Delivery on Jan 5th.
We will see...

Prime shipping from Amazon Germany!
Hi all,
i just received the message that the TF Prime 32GB (+keyboard,grey) is shipping from Amazon Germany! It seems to be a small total shipment, on the product page there is still no availability shown, but i also read some posts on Facebook that some preorders are being shipped. Seems like the Amazon stock is quite limited... But for me its great news
Anyone else seeing shipments?
Screenshot: see below
Glad to hear another about new wave in Europe. The more new shipments the quicker they will release fixes
Any word on 64gb + dock in Germany?

Amazon Germany page says "Available in 1 to 2 months" for the Prime 64 GB grey. There is no bundle with keyboard for the 64 GB version in Germany (afaik)...
But apparently the status doesnt mean too much considering my first post!
Mine (32GB incl. dock, grey, pre-ordered on Nov 17th) is on its way, too.
Estimated delivery is Jan 4th.
Finally!
Yeah, I have seen that, still hoping to get one...
It looks like cyberport will be selling bundle.
I have preordered the 32GB w/ dock version on 22nd of November and still have no mail of shipment or estimated date, but I saw in the comments of Amazon.de that some guys with preorder from 15-16th have already received theirs... I hope mine ships soon and without hardware defects.
Congrats to the lucky ones with the confirmation mail

In my experience, if you change something about your order (address or bank account), it seems to "update" your shipping status faster. My shipping status yesterday morning was "unknown". After i changed the shipping address & payment option, it immediately changed to "shipping soon" and is now on its way....
Maybe you should try that ;-)
Cyberport store in Vienna shows it as "in stock". Got mine there last week so I think it's credible. (Sry. can't post links yet, but look for tf201 @ cyberport.at/wien).

Amazon.de orders delayed?

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)

Yeah I figured I'll tour Orange, T-Mobile, and Drei tomorrow and see if I could get one without contract, though I doubt it. Still waiting for news from Amazon about the definite delay...
I'm gonna wait until the madness does down and stock aplenty so i can get one within a week
Just got another email, delayed to 19 - 26 June
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.
So that's another 2 weeks of waiting.
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.

Amazon US - Ship Date?

Wondering if anyone who pre-ordered from Amazon US has gotten a est. ship/delivery date? Mine still shows that a release date hasn't been released.
I've seen a lot of people in this thread say that the Black Nexus 9 (both 16GB and 32GB) may possibly be delayed (possibly due to high demand but not 100% sure) while the White Nexus 9 may ship on time. I pre ordered the white 16GB and it has a estimated delivery date of November 4th.

I didn't order from Amazon but did order the LTE one through Best Buy, several reasons, both have free shipping, have $25 in reward dollars, and they said delivery should be around November 23. And if I change my mind, after it comes, I can just drive 10 mins and return it instore. Even if it ships later, I wouldn't be upset. It gives me the chance to check the reviews of those who have them already, and would know if there's an "issues" with the product.

Wait or buy?

Hello!
I've been thinking about buying the Honor 7 for some months now. The only problem is that it's taking too long for the release in europe so I'm thinking of buying the chinese version.
I have some questions that I hope someone could help me with..
1. What are the difference between the models we have on the market today? Any model I should buy instead of the other ones?
2. Is there any drawbacks with buying a chinese model? Language problems? Google apps not working (so I read?)?
3. Should I wait for the European version or buy the chinese version?
Thank you for any answears!

The EU version is for sale now so I guess you should get that. You get 50€ off the price (349€) this weekend also so you only pay 299€. Check out www.vmall.eu

I just ordered it yesterday in grey on vMall, but it still unprocessed
It's not possible to join them, neither by email /chat, neither by phone (busy ringing),
i'm disapointed about that :/
Let's see what will append next.
Just like LePocketPc I ordered it two days ago at night time and I should receive it on Monday with DHL delivery as well.
The payment process went well and they processed my order yesterday morning. I'm still surprised by how efficient they were on my order.
@m3zz3r On their email they wrote that they're only working from Monday to Friday from 9 to 5 therefore I doubt you'll get any answer from them before Monday. (they're located in France apparently, and the phone is shipping from London)
I'm in the UK and ordered on Friday. Order says not processed. They don't work at weekends and it's a holiday here on Monday. Hope they've got some stock on Tuesday It seems Expansys is handling the sales, in the UK anyway.
I've joined the club and gone for the EU version, for £210 seems a real bargain......only concern is the updates but it does have android 5.0 and ive read that 5.1.1 is currently in beta testing (HUKD)........ordered also late friday afternoon so not processed yet.....would be nice if it came next week but im looking at at least a few weeks....... a new phone to play with will be fun as ive had my LG G2 for a few years now, works great but boredom has set in......LOL
Anyone who's ordered had any indication of when it will be shipped?

A few minutes ago I have received the banking details for my order dd. August 28 ...
The payment goes to Expansys also for German orders and to a German banking account.
I guess they will have received thousands of orders and will be a little bit busy now :silly:
Can someone confirm which version exactly came from VMall.eu?
My version is PLK-L01. Bought friday from vmall.eu
I'm in the UK. Placed an order on Friday and just received an email saying delivery expected in 2-3 weeks...unprecedented demand...hugely popular...blah blah.

Just had an email from vmall.eu - They say that it will take 2-3 weeks to get the phone. Seems a bit unfair given I ordered within an hour of it being live on the site on Thursday and others have ordered later and received theirs already.
And as a side rant, why on earth do manufacturers put themselves in this position. They know it will be popular, so have more stock. It isn't a rushed release or anything, so just be prepared for launches properly.
