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...
Staples online, and had phone call to confirm it (they are doing fraud checks on all orders apparently, and I got my confirmation after the call)
Add option for Amazon.com

As I said, UK only. Sorry.
I can't add or change the options anyway
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!
....waiting on the Pre 3 now *wink* *wink*
what a well designed poll when most people are "other"
wow only 21 people have got one?
Voters: 21
Just got one from Argos. Really nice tablet, want to overclock it straight away.

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.
got mine from comet £89 got email plus a call confirming a september 5th delivary
Insight UK, got 4 for work n play! Only 90 quid each for 16GB ones!!
Just hoping touchdroid or android player comes reality!

Managed to get mine from carphone warehouse, they had already sold out but I persuaded them to locate a couple for me. Received them today, very happy with it so far, the touchpad has massive potential.
edit: argos told me they still have stock left iin their warehouse
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
Only post here if...
You have received via pre-order or from a retail outlet a Full Retail Pebble Blue Unit.
I think we need to ascertain if there are any at all.
I have emailed CPW to try and get info on my pre order (pebble blue) as I haven't heard anything from them and got an automated reply saying that they would be in touch within 4 days Whats that all about?
Hey guys just read this. Bad news

As I mentioned on another post I actually called CPW this morning and they confirmed my Blue one was ok for delivery tomorrow morning.
I then saw the announcement on their website and there is now after talking to them ZERO chance of seeing it for many weeks.
Really unimpressed with them.
it seems the white one is available may have to go for that.

If you pre-ordered I doubt you will be able to get a white one, I went into the Vodafone shop today to ask the same thing, and they said the only way they could do it is if I set up a whole new contract for a white one then refused the delivery of my blue one.

You are lucky then, Vodafone wouldn't budge at all for me, so I have no choice but to wait. It's annoying as my sister is waiting for my old phone as well, so she is going to nag and moan to me every day until it arrives and then I am going to have to book another day off work short notice to collect it.
handtec gave me the option for a white one as well, that will ship today hopefully
Damn, I just started a thread about this.
I changed to white with the CPW today. My current contract terminates on the 6th, so can't wait to get my new contract. Plus I'm an impatient child.
The guy at CPW did say that the few blue units they received seemed fine and is not sure what the defect is.
He was surprised when I said I heard about it as a rumour some weeks ago through XDA. He didn't know what XDA was and insisted they only found out there COULD be a problem earlier this week.
My argument was that he indicated they lacked supplies of the blue model, so wouldn't have been able to deliver on their promise anyway and asked if they where never going to have enough blue models then why, even up to yesterday, they told me its all good?
No comment from the guy other than, your change to the white model has been processed and SHOULD be with you by Thursday.

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

I've ordered phones from Clove in the past and they have arrived in new condition. I don't think you are going to have a bad experience with them.
Good to know. Thanks for the reassurance

I ordered mine yesterday.
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 yesterday morning too, but had no confirmation of delivery yet. However, the money has left my bank.
What time did you order it? Just trying to figure out how likely I am to get mine and I can't find any way of checking the order online

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 .

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

It's not on sale now, It's just preorder. I also want the gold version, not the booring grey.
They still don't have a date for the actual shipment

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?

Just received mine now For information the 86 IMEI working with the provider FREE ( France ) with 20 Go Fair Use
Komplett has the white one in stock
The phone is now listed as 'Available' in my VMall order (France) !
Ordered mine on 'launch' day last week and still have it as being pre-ordered. How are people getting theirs already that ordered the day after I did? The lack of info for the actual shipping day is a bit frustrating.

Ordered mine sunday night and it shipped yesterday (monday) via DHL.
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.

I ordered from Clove on Tuesday. They've not sent it yet despite now saying in stock. I went to Amazon and phone getting delivered today. I have emailed Clove to cancel pre order but they've not replied yet.

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.
