X1a, Today is NOV 3rd. where is it?

Anybody Knows anything about the X1a announcement?

maybe SE learned their lesson!
better to shut up then annonces a date that cant delivery! haha

It's early still. Give them sometime. I think the "press conference" was scheduled for this afternoon...also PST.

Wasn't it on the 5th??

They were supposed to annouce the release date for the X1a today.

Why are we surprise. Isn't that the way it is with SE?
silence, not an apology, not even an excuse, or lie...

This is beyond lame. Not even an excuse or anything? I feel like going and getting a touch pro more and more as each day passes.

Yea I thought it was Nov 3rd too. It's sony, they're always late

I’ve been lurking in these forums waiting to actually get an x1 before registering. But at the rate SE is going I really don’t know when that’ll be. SE is really dropping the ball on this one. Wasn’t this device developed in California and specifically intended for the US market?

If the announcement is this late, imagine what the release will be like

the Eu version is out there everywhere with Online Retailers. I am told 1900MHZ works in most locations for 3G and AT&T. No 3G for T mob yet....

Called SE here in US today. There will be an announcement sometime this week as to the X1a. And, no, the X1i does not have the 850 3G Band.

sweet. thx for the info.

Check this out engadget says that sony says it's going to be in the US by november

Still no sign of the X1a?
Hello? SE? X1a? When will it be released in the US?

Hopefully we will here something on the same press release that is due today for the W705. Apparently their last announcement for the year according to blog.se-nse.net

Sigh.....according to a poster on xperiax1.net, Sony Ericsson will announce 11/31. Maybe the 11/3 was a typo from SE and they meant 11/31 all along
quoted text follows:
Hey guys, well I emailed the US SE and this is what they had to say about an announcement date:
Thank you for contacting Sony Ericsson Online Support.
The release in the American marker will be announce November 31st
If you require more information, or have any other questions, please visit our website at Sony Ericsson - Sony Ericsson or call us at 1-866-766-9374.
Best regards,
Francisco

Obviously Francisco can't spell, so I don't know if I can trust this statement. It's more than likely just another stab in the dark from the people at SE

Ash snap, why so long? I need this thing now because my qtek dies when i make a call or SMS

yep It kinda sucks. Been waiting in the UK and being told next week for about 8 weeks, and then it comes out buggered up on the networks kinda sucks. If it was out a month ago I'd have bought i, as it stands, the touch HD is looking more appealing right now.... I can only imagine how galling it is to now be told it's 31/11/08 - It really would not surprise me if that date comes and goes with still no phone.

O2 Release Date?

hey guys, is there any new information regarding a release date for the HD2 on o2 yet? i've not heard anything for a while anyone know anything?

nope, and it doesn't look like O2 know themselves....
which is hugely disappointing...and to be honest, hugely incompetent I think. A lot of places have it down to availability from 11th November...yet O2 still don't know.

i was told next week by an assitant manager in an o2 store, but im kinda wondering if that will happen now. I was impressed as he showed me proof and everything but i will believe when i see one in a store and therefore have it in my hand very soon after that...

been on the phone with t-mobile today, they will have the phone in stock from 6th November but after going through further testing the actual release date is likely to be a few days afterwards. No details on price plans yet. I'm guessing the situation is the same for O2

I just called up O2 and they said the 2nd Nov (Monday)!

i work for o2 and the release date for retail stores has been pushed back to week beginning 16th Nov, may be available a little earlier over the phone

I got the same answer - and I have had that answer twice now so I think that will be the earliest we will see it. Also for info I had a play with the Omnia II today. Not impressed really - nice screen but the TouchWiz is pretty poor really.

Really thats so bad, so its coming out after T-mobile now? This really does make me want to switch networks but i think ill end up waiting as i couldnt stand to be on tmobile in general.

yeah it's annoying it's been delayed so much, but the reasons i've been given for the delay are that it's still being tested and there's been stock issues with the hd2 and a couple of other phones

It's kind of unusual that they're releasing the phone so shortly after it's unbranded/network free release. They normally take a few months...

well the phone was supposed to have launched on the 26th october originally

looks like i'll be moving to another network then, don't think i can wait that long my current phone is really close to death, this is such a let down...

just got the info on the tariff and it looks like when it does launch, it will only be free on a £75/month tariff, £49 on a £45/month tariff and £99 on a £35/month tariff

Where did you get the info from mate, If those are the tariffs, I might go to Tmobile.
Did you get a release date too?

i work for them, got the updated prices today, release date is supposed to be week beginning 16th nov

That can't be right...that's daylight robbery!!!! I'm going to have to go through retentions methinks. It's cheaper on T-Mobile and although I don't like them, I know they are merging with Orange so they won't always have such bad coverage....

Dont like that is standard o2 prices, the most i would pay would be £100 and well looks like im in on that one as its in my budget completely. (though it would be nice if it was free obviously.

it really is ridiculous but the iphone is partly to blame, because it's so heavily subsidised, prices for everything else has gone up. The pricing for the SE Satio is even worse, that's chargeable no matter how much you pay a month

is this on a 12/18/24 month contract. This needs to be more specific.

This may be the case, but they could do what they wanted with iPhone exclusivity. However most networks have the HD2, so I'd be surprised if they didn't make sure their tariffs are aligned with the other networks. We'll see what happens in the coming weeks I suppose.

Confirmed from Clove: DHD releases end of Oct

Well, Clove apparently have sent email about the delay of DHD release till the end of the month, and said all sellers will face the same problem due to Google Testing (which I have no idea what is the point). Anyways, everyone should start to STOP waiting as things will be better when you least expect them, agree?

Absolutely. Of course we're all looking forward to receiving our new Desire's of the HD form factor... but the wait is almost quite exciting - just keep checking those email inboxes for 'Your Order Has Been Dispatched!'
Not to mention I have come to the conclusion that I have far more important things going on in my life... like 'life' itself.
It'll arrive within 26 days, we know that much at least!

I'm waiting for amazon to confirm it and so far they have denied it.
So hope is still alive

Clove is far more likely to be right about this than amazon. Sorry

I spoke to someone at Vodafone this morning, and they haven't heard of any delay.

It's possible the rumours that the carriers are getting them first is true. For the sake of 5 days or so I'd rather wait for the Sim-Free handset I'll get rather than the branded version from Vodafone.

True. If I get one via Carphone Warehouse, it should be unbranded shouldn't it? Really don't want a branded phone.

If carriers are getting the phones before sim unlocked ones are out, then that's still good news because we'll have users here who can give us their impressions. All i want is someone here who can answer all our questions and doubts about the phone.

My provider delayed the phone till the 22nd of october. It was the 18th.

Confirmation from Superetrader
Just got this e-mail from superetrader saying that the DHD will be delay until mid to end of the month.
See attachment for the e-mail

lol vodafone branding doesn't mean its locked just has some branded software installed, and a bit of rooting can fix that!

Carriers have usually got the phones first, not sure if this was the plan all along. Looks like the DHD with Vodafone will be the awesome black one. Any chance of these being unbranded/full of junkware? Would love to pick one up after seeing a few reviews..

Based on what? I've been a phone freak for years and i've never heard of them. Amazon are the biggest online retailer in the world and indeed they posted the HD on there site BEFORE it was announced. So sorry, but I'd trust Amazon over a site i've not heard of.
No one else has heard of a delay and none of the gadget/Andriod blogs are reporting one either. Play have jumped the date by a week. But other than that there is no news of a delay (even Google News aren't reporting one)
Added to which most of us had never even heard of "Google testing" until yesterday. Anyway whats to test? the hardware is pretty much the EVO and the software (although slightly updated is the same as the Desire)

superEtrader has now confirmed a delay untill the end of october...

I hate to ask this, but how on earth can a mobile like the Desire HD fail Type Approval testing?
Do people here even know what Type Approval Testing is?
Surely, when designing the phone, they would try to meet the specs, and Type Approval would be given pretty easily...

I'm not one to fuel this kind of bullcrap topics, but if the reason given is "type approval", you can be sure they are making "regular"/detalic customers gobble up quite another load of bull****, betting on consumers' lack of knowledge (about the slang).
In the case of cellular technologies/GSM/3GPP, FCC certification is responsible for the TA.
Unless the acronym TA was misintrepreted, it would rather be Telecommunications Approval, but then again, this doesn't change anything. It's still FCC.
This has NOT A SINGLE DAMN thing to do with Google.

Type Approval simply means, has it met the required specs that are set out. There is a safety/min spec etc that it has to meet.
They wouldn't be doing that days before release. No way. Let's just take it as follows:
htcsense.com isn't ready yet. That makes a LOT more sense, than the phone hasn't passed a test.

BTW, expansys still have eta stock date to the oc 19...

Looks like you can now buy the DVP in the UK

Expansys seem to have the DVP on sale. Their expected shipment is 1 working day and they now take Paypal payments, which they do only when they have stock.
http://www.expansys.com/dell-venue-pro-windows-phone-7-smartphone-qwerty-205052/

That's weird, when I spoke to a Dell customer service guy he said they weren't going to sell it unlocked first. Should've known that he didn't know what he was talkin' about.

it says estimated 1 day. they have not got stock and i doubt they will have stock tomorrow as dells own uk site does not list it.
ps. when i pre-ordered one from them in November they tock my money straight away and when i phoned them up about it they say it was a mistak and i had to wait 10 days to get my money back.
im going to wait till play.com or dell.co.uk have they in stock at i dont trust expansys ot clove.

In November I wanted to preorder and pay via Paypal and their rep told me the Paypal option wasn't for preoders and would only appear when they actually had stock. So maybe you can actually buy from them now... To be fair I was fed up and got the Omnia 7 but that could be of interest to some people.
Oh by the way, the last time I spoke to Dell UK they had no plans for selling the phone themselves.

Clove says mid-February
This phone's launch has really been a joke, they're launching it in the middle of MWC when it might get obsolete.
http://www.clove.co.uk/dell-venue-pro

I had emailed Clove only three days ago to ask when the phone was in stock and they said it was expected early this week. The situation is a complete farce.

Surprised you guys are still looking to get this phone considering all the issues and that you can get other devices in the UK that can be unlocked for any carrier.

clove said the 6th january and then changed it to week starting the 10th. the reason they do these dates is so you pre-order from them thinking you are going to get it earlier then if you do it with other sites but once you pre-order they tell you there is a delay and hope you dont cancel (clove had it on the 6th when every over site had the 11th).
exspansy tock my money from my debit card, i did not try the paypal option.
tomorrow is the 11th and play.com and exspansy should say in stock but bet they wont and then will delay it again.
as far as dell.co.uk selling it. i was under the assumtion that dell sells all there products from their website and would sell the DVP too like they have been selling the streak. i prefer to buy from play.com but they only listing the 8gb and i wont the 16gb model.
tomorrow i will see if any of them have it but at this rate i may have to look at getting another phone. with the mobile show in early feb there probably be a load of new handsets.
UPDATE: clove and exspansy have delayed it till mid feb. i guess i will have to see if any new handsets get released at the mobile show that takes my fancy, if not it will be arround mid feb by that point anyway.
i reckon they are waiting for the os update which will fix a lot of the current issues (crashes etc).

i always get my phone sim free so i can get any handset but the hd7 and omina 7 i have seen and tried and i dont like the designs.

Given what's been happenning to our friends in the US I won't be rushing to get it !

The O/S is rock stable ... either that or Samsung have worked miracles! My Omnia 7 has crashed twice since i purchased it and I got it on release day. (To be fair, the ONLY thing that has crashed on it has been the marketplace app)
Its far more likely that Dell have screwed up the firmware or chip/mobo integration somehow.
Either way, i'm now out of the market for one of these. Sadly, its the only 4"+ device with a keyboard.... who nows.... maybe Feb will cure my problem?

Clove has been told today there will be no stock until 'mid february at the earliest' for 'microsoft issue on mms settings'. Given every other manufacturer has phones in europe with working mms capability, I cannot see how only dell needs an one month worth wp7 fix. Assume they have multiple issues and don't have a clue about when they will be able to fix them all.
Now, I'm not sure who, between me still waiting for this phone and Dell, needs more urgently a reality check.

To be fair, once you start using one daily you just see it as a Windows Phone and forget a bit about the design. Sure the DVP has something special but unless you really need a keyboard you can do worse than the HD7 and Omnia 7.
What I will probably miss the most about the DVP is the Gorilla Glass but I'm more than happy with the Omnia 7.

goodbye dell
it has been a nice time waiting for u to fix those issues but i guess enough is enough
crawling back to htc via the 7 pro

I think Expansys and Clove literally just pull these release dates out of thin air (in the same way that Amazon and Play basically invent release dates for some videogames and dvds, etc., even when they haven't been announced yet). They're clearly not in any sort of serious contact with Dell if, only one day before the phones are due to go on sale, they 'find out' that their delivery isn't going to arrive.
I too am going to have to consider the HTC Pro 7 now, much as I don't want to buy another HTC phone. Sigh...

i have a feeling that the way dell has set up the dvp is slightly different than how overs have done and as they are very close to microsoft i this microsoft was fix some things that did not work with the way they made the handset.
i could be wrong but seems strange that the release has been put back to mid feb when the os update is to be released.

I'm stil waiting. Mabye its better to solve the problems. Or els the DVP is going to be a new iphone . But what about the OS update how as Microshoft annouced for april? New languages? Like dutch. We wil see

Delayed again till mid-February, what a joke.
I am also waiting for this to happen so Dell can finally feel comfortable in providing an unlock code.

HTC One Launch - (15th March UK)

Hi All,
Im questioning this, but i thought i would share what i just chatted about with a local p4u shop.
short story: Was told it might be able to buy as early as the 1st of March.
long story:
I went in to ask if i could pre order to pick up from store (i knew i couldnt but i was hoping they would hold one
for me or something like that )
Guy said let me just check when there coming in, he mentioned he was getting a single unit delivered today
and i was free to come back and play with it. Obviously i said yes to this as only one ive played with has been in a big
metal shell. So im waiting on a phone call for that.
But he seemed to think i would be able to buy the phone from this Friday (1st march). He did mention that he wasnt 100% sure on this
and did say dont pre order it online as it takes 4 days to process it and you wont get it before, so it could be a ploy to get me to wait
til its in to buy it from them.
This is only a tiny local p4u shop so the fact its getting a unit delivered today would suggest that they have a fair few in. So mabye they
are giving a few out before hand to those special customers (i wish)
The fact they all knew what the HTC one is shocked me, ive been in phone stores when a new phone has just been released and they
dont even know what its called!
I dont want to say the local store name as they did ask me not to tell anyone i would get to play with one.
Any opinions/thoughts?
Personally I think they are getting Fridays mixed up, but a man can dream.
If i get hands on it i will try and get a few photos/video if they let me.
////////////////// UPDATE 26/3/13 //////////////////////////////

SFR (french mobile operator) announced it yesterday on their website dedicated to android.
You can take a loot at it : android[dot]sfr[dot]fr/htc-one-chez-sfr/ (french) (I can't write a link because i'm a new account :/ )

Very interesting if that is the case I will cancel my preorder and just get one in store instead in a week or so.

Maybe HTC have decided to pull the release date up so they can trump the Samsung attempt at trumping them ...
but SFR are really only declaring that they'll have it available "first on their web site on March 5th" and then 'progressively' to all their shops ... so it could be an earlier release is imminent, or it might just be a marketing ploy by SFR to get in front of the other French providers by making it look as though they will get it out sooner. We all know about mail order and delivery delays eh ???

yer i know i was one that told people. Problem is the one is in a big case that you cant move, i.e. you dont get a feel for the phone

Maybe HTC have decided to pull the release date up so they can trump the Samsung attempt at trumping them ...
but SFR are really only declaring that they'll have it available "first on their web site on March 5th" and then 'progressively' to all their shops ... so it could be an earlier release is imminent, or it might just be a marketing ploy by SFR to get in front of the other French providers by making it look as though they will get it out sooner. We all know about mail order and delivery delays eh ???

IMO when they say 5th of march it only say available on the website from the 5th of march to pre order it and not to buy it.

I don't know, SFR has often some exclusiveness (nexus 4, purple XZ, etc.) so I think the ONE will be available on March 5th but only for SFR. I'll contact them on twitter, we'll see what are they gonna say.

I hope it's true. Don't forget the Xperia Z is launching on March 1st and pre-orders have been good so far so the sooner the ONE is out the better. Hopefully they don't have supplies issues with the ONE and I'm praying the 64GB version is out at the same time.

yer the 64gb would be nice but i really cant see it happening. (read somewhere htc said it was official it wasnt coming to the uk via twitter??)
I think they release it after 2 months to try keep sales going/when the s4 goes on sale.
But tbh 32gb will be enough for me, just hope most of it is usable!

So SFR answered me on twitter : " Hello, for the moment we don't have information different from those accessed from the page provided. It will be an open order though. " Raaaaa,

I think you're right. Larger capacity items almost always seem to come later. Mind you Expansys dot ca has it listed and is taking pre-orders so maybe at most 1 month wait?

Release date in Italy said to be on March 8th.
