Went into Carphone Warehouse and the man was oblivious to when it was out. Told me theyd have it in a few weeks, I told him its meant to be launched today and he then said itd be there in a few days and that id get an email telling me it was in stock.
Ridiculous.

I just got back from carphone warehouse here in sheffield and they got stock in today, so hopefully you'll see them soon wherever you are.
I stopped by in the Vodafone store and they said that they will have stock tomorrow (thats where I'll be shopping as I have a vodafone signal booster) so it'd seem that 'right now' is when its supposed to be happening. Not that you'd know... No-one seems to want to make a fuss *sigh*.
If anyone gets their tab today or tomorrow (before me) can they confirm that the Tab has the full phone functionality in it ?
All the contracts seem to offer just a data line, which is ... fine... i guess... Since I'm just going to trade my Galaxy S sim card into it, but I need to know that I'll be able to get texts and use the phone. Otherwise I'm going to be a seriously pissed off panda bear.
So yeah... an open call to UK guys getting a Tab... Trade your smartphones SIM into it and check that it'll make/recieve calls and texts.
If they've disabled the phone aspect, I swear to god I'm going to embark on an urban terror campaign... Or just ***** on the internet. Either way. I want a Tab cuz its a phone not just a dataline. I want a phone replacement, not a small iPad.
[/rage]
Edit -
While I was in carphone warehouse, they said they are tossing in a 16gb card with their Tabs (not sure if its just them or general thing) and I know that they are offering some other cool free stuff which I saw on the guys screen, but he didn't go back over it so I don't know what it is. Anyways, good luck.
I think the phone capabilities is a UK only thing, so youre in luck unless theyve changed things :| then ill also be a pissed off panda bear
I guess at first itll be shipped to major cities, then sent out to smaller ones later in the week.
Reguarding the 16gb sd, did they say if that was if you purchased/pre ordered there and then? The people in Norwich didnt even know you could preorder it! Must have been living under a bloody rock for the past month.
Im getting a T-Mo 30 day sim contract for unlimited data and 100 mins & texts. Have my Desire for another 1 1/2 years so I should probably make the most of my contract
Ill be so angry if i get an email later telling me its arrived at the store

Me too. Went into my local store as they never answer the phone. Not had any delivery yet today. They say their delivery is usually after 3 and sometimes just as they are closing. They took my number and said they will call me when they have their delivery. We'll see. Customer service on the phone is useless. They know nothing. And still no email saying it's on the way to the store.

I don't know about the SD card thing. The guy said they are doing it for all the Tabs, and implied that you only get whats in the box, so it would seem that its included with every unit, but I couldn't swear to it.
The phone thing is kinda weird. We've been told for ages that we'll have the capability, but no-one is selling it as a phone. Like NO-ONE. They're pushing the video calling thing, but thats a data thing, not an actual 'phone' thing. Without ANY phone stuff on the contract, I don't even know if a contract will give me a phone number or anything. I'm particularly pissed because I was assuming that it would drop on contracts similar to smartphone contracts, but everyone is pushing ~£500 with pointlessly expencive data-only contracts. I saw one that was £20 a month for 2 years and still £450 up front! REDICULOUS! I already have an unlimited data contract and wifi practically everywhere I am for any length of time except public transport. I just cannot understand what the hell they are doing with this pricing... Totally ignoring the only thing that makes the Tab better than the competition. RAAAAAAAGE
CPW have finally updated the Tab page:
http://www.carphonewarehouse.com/laptop-redirect/samsung-galaxy-tab?intcmp=hp-hp-hero-4-v1-1134
£530 with no contract or £530 with some crap Vodafone contract. Wooooo! [/sarcasm]
Anyway, reguarding the phone capabilities. Most/all screenshots of the Euro/UK tabs have either a Phone or Contacts shortcut on the homescreen. But it is strange that companies arent making a big deal about being able to make calls. :/

Urgh. This is straight up bull****.
Also, why the hell is the carphone warehouse price for a vodafone tab HIGHER than the vodafone price ? I thought the point of going there was cuz they got stuff cheaper than straight from the network.
The vodafone prices are £499 + whatever contract. Its not much of a difference, but im seriously not happy that they want full list price on a contract. What the ****?
Has anyone seen ANY decent subsidies in the UK ? Isn't the german one going for like 100e + 17.50e a month ? See thats what I'm talking about.
Edit -
O2 want £600 btw. So thank god for small mercies.
Exactly. Full tab price and a £20 contract (?) shows how much they think about their plans. People in the Vodafone shop actually knew what a Tab was too!
If only we followed suit with the Germans. Their plans make sense. Where as ours are a bloody shamble.
Emailed CPW about when they think theyll actually have the tab and surprise surprise, no response.

That really sucks. Hope you get it sorted soon.
There's two things here that both combined I'm pissed about (more so as the day wears on). Firstly, I'm going to have to pay for the whole device up front. Second, I'm not going to have a spare service plan to kick around. If I were getting a decent subsidy OR a nice mins/txts/data bundle then I'd be cool.
Now I always knew that this wasn't going to be a cheap device, but I don't think anywhere else in the world is being hit as hard as us on the upfront price. Even the ****ing yanks who pay through the nose for every other mobile device are being told that $600 or £375 is full retail price. What the hell is that ?

Maybe/hopefully T-Mo & Voda will realise how high everywhere is charging compared to the rest of the world and knock it down. A lot.
If not, then T-Mo sim only deals are the best imho. 100 mins & texts and unlimited data for £10 or upgrade to 300 (i believe) for £15. I dont want to be tied to another overpriced contract tbh. :/
But, the Tab is £530 new, my Desire was priced at £500 brand new. I sure as hell would have paid the extra £30

CPW are a real shambles these days. I eventually got an email saying mine had been shipped to the store today and giving me a DHL tracking number. Great! Only problem is that the tracking number shows it was already delivered to Sheffield in November LAST YEAR! Phoned them AGAIN and it still hadn't been shipped yet. They promised me it was being shipped today for delivery to my London store tomorrow. Of course, I could have just gone to Oxford Street today and picked one up!
By the way, the CPW website shows definitely it is a phone as the 3 contracts include minutes. Also, seems CPW supply it with a 16gb card.
My galaxy S was about £500 too, but I sure as hell didn't pay that upfront. In fact I won't have paid the original price until next summer.
That's kinda my point.
The kinda contracts we get on regular smart phones are a nice way to spread the cost of a really expensive device over a much longer time frame. From my point of view there is simply no point in getting a tab with any kind of contract, which aggravates me.
Normally they are real happy to sign you onto a contract, but here there is genuinely no point. I mean £30 quid off when you sign up for 2 years ? For something I won't even use *shakes head*.
Up until now I was just going to spread the cost out and have a spare contract sim for family/friends/whatever. Now, I'm not getting the SIM nor spreading the cost.
I went for the £30 saving with their one month rolling 1gb data contract, including 1 month free. So I may cancel after a month or two and I will still have saved. Also, having bought through Quidco, I should be getting cashback as well. Looks like it could even be £40 as that's what's been tracked by Quidco.
i was all set for this since im due for an upgrade from my 3gs but to my horror no minutes on any contracts, the 24 month contract has 100 minutes but thats it. Not really enough, 300 would have been fine.
Think im gonna get a Archos again and look at other tablets next year. Will probably stick with the 3GS. Unless of course some more options are given, you would think that one of the networks would allow you to use it as a phone. But oh no!!
Yea - Got mine from Car Phone Warehouse - Last one in stock but we are definitely getting shafted over this...
I payed 299 with a 24 month contract as I needed a 3G card anyway for a dongle.
Vodafone want Minimum £424 up front...
I am an early adopter and have waited for this device for a couple months but I would advise that people wait for a further 2 weeks or so when the prices come down as the networks are clearly playing silly £$"$£$ with this.
All contracts car phone offered had no minutes I couldn't believe it...

Better and better! Got a new DHL number last night. Checking it this morning and it says its held at the depot because of an INCOMPLETE ADDRESS! And this was for collection from a CPW store. Couldn't even get their own address right!
Rushed home from work to Cambridge. Tried to go to PCWorld/Curry's but they weren't open. Called CPW. Their machine said they were open until 8. I walked to the mall and they were closed. It was only 5:30. Why does everything close at 5:30 here? Do businesses not like making money from people who work during the day? Lol. BTW I'm a "yank" working on an RAF base.

I CANNOT BELIEVE IT!
People are selling this information..... people are so dumb!!!
If I thought i could sell stuff like that on ebay i wouldn't have to get out of bed every day and battle with exchange server 2003 and have to handle dumb ass secretaries saying "My files haved disappeared off my computer" all day.....
AARRRRRRHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!
On a lighter note, i ordered a Exec from Coolsmartphone friday morning, after speaking to the sales rep on the phone to make sure they were in stock...... around 2 oclock, i rang then to confirm how my order was progressing to be told that they were waiting for more stock..... Bugger i said, i was promised stock was available this morning when i placed the order, sorry the sales guy said, we must have had a big order before we could process yours.
So i went to Mobile Fun.co.uk, ordered one from them, saved 50 quid on hte phone in the process and should receive it tomorrow.... how cool is that.
If i'd ordered it on thursday instead of spending the day researching it, i woould have it now...... never mind.
A big thumbs up to http://www.mobilefun.co.uk/o2/7839.htm
I like www.mobilefun.co.uk as well. The price of the Exec has reduced on their site in the last few days. The £35 per month option could be very good if you could convert to the Data 5 data only tariff after 6 months.

Jesus £35 a month for a phone?
I would never pay that much tbh ..
Part of my amazement at the ebay market for execs is the fact its 250 cheaper just to get a 1year contract with o2 than it is to buy the fecking thing used ..
Morons!
Ebay is really a cult of stupidity ..
PS: Erm actually .. its not. However I pay £15 not £30 for my 02400 tarriff.
So yes, my bad. If you dont get a discount its fine - I guess. Wouldnt give you £500 for an exec tho. They're not worth half that ...
I have been trying to get an upgrade for my tmobile account to flext20 + Web and Walk and a Vario II. I have agreeded a price but apparently you can't acutally order it untill they have some instock.
It was suppost to come in stock last weekend but last time called it still wasn't. They keep promasing to call me back when it comes in. But I still havn't herd anything.
As you can tell I am quite keen to get my hand on it. Reading this forum is not helping either with everyone talking about how good they are.
Has anyone managed to get a Vario II upgrade from T-mobile Uk (over the phone) this week.
Charlie
Just phoned T-MOBILE for the exact same thing and they told me that they should be getting stock back in maybe next week.... hope this helps
I ordered the phone + contract from t-mobile's website yesterday. I'm not upgrading though; I'm a new customer.
Got the out of stock message once I submitted my order request. A bit disappointed but not totally surprised. Usually in these cases I would cancel and go start looking in stores but I'm going to give t-mobile 3-4 business days.
Anyone else waiting for stock? I feel kinda cheated that they don't give delivery estimates. As far as we know they could not get them for months!!
Thanks
Thanks for the info. I have got fed up calling them every day, once there was a twenty minute wait. Still aslong as they eventually get some I will be happy.
Charlie
I was also told over the phone that they are out of stock. Since I'm a new customer they suggested ordering online and waiting for stock to arrive.
I'm looking forward to receiving it but not desparate yet!
In the mean time I ordered a leather case from www.pdair.com and a 1GB Micro-SD from MobyMemory.com
We need some insider info on when they're gonna get stock. I'm getting a bit desperate now, lol.
The most I know
The guy I first got through to (seemed pritty knowlegable) said they had in initial batch of a few hundred (for launch) but they were much more popular than expected.
He said they were now waiting on a bigger shipment, which should have arrived last weekend. He seemed pritty sure it was comming then (I don't think it was a random date plucked out of the air).
Everytime I have got through this week I got the same repsonce. It should have been with us by now, don't know when it will get here, this sort of thing happens. Makes you wonder if they have had to repeat that a lot this week.
Charlie
posting from phone. just got call fromk tmob web sales. no shipment till second week oct. cancelled order. gonna try some tmob stores in london.
bummer
This may be due to the screen issues and might not be a bad thing to get a functioning device.
tried flagship tmob store on oxford street. they told me its sold out there and at all other tmbo stores. possible delivery wed but seeing as tmob web isn't getting for two weeks, I find that unlikely. I think its becoming obvious we will not see these for a couple of weeks. gonna try the big vodafone store as well for the heck of it, although their tariffs suck.
I ordered off the web the other day but was told the same thing - ended up going into my local T-Mobile highstreet store (in Birmingham) and getting the handset there and then for £65 on Flext 25 with Web 'n Walk (27.50 a month).
nothing at vodafone but plenty sim-free ones on tott court road. only 490 inc VAT . adventure over. heading home.
I ordered a vario II from the website yesterday, 21st September, with flext 25 + web n walk, but got the email saying it was out of stock.
so i phoned them direct, and the guy told me, they'd be in next week.
but then i got a call today, 22nd September, and they said it wouldn't be available till second week of October, so I asked if I could just go to one of the T-Mobile stores and get one, but they just said they would be out of stock to, which according to you guys is true.
as far as I'm concerned there's no other better phone deal out there at the moment, o2 wanted to offer me a great deal, but still not as good.
100 mins, 500 texts, 200meg for only £25 a month.
which would be great if they could offer me the XDA Trion, but only could offer a XDA Mini S.
I'm just gonna wait it out.
After being told that T-Mobile Retail were out of stock, I just walked into my local store (the one on Corporation Street in the centre of Birmingham) and got one straight away, no hassle with stock availability or anything.
They'd probably be able to match the offer I got online as well if you tell them that you ordered but it was unavailable - I got my handset for £65 but I had to pay for the first three months of web 'n walk (there's only £2.50 difference in it once you tot the figures up). If you want your phone right now (and I needed mine there and then as my O2 contract runs out on Sunday!) then there's no harm in giving it a shot.
All the stores in the Newcastle upon Tyne area are out of stock....
Looks like we're gonna have to play the waiting game. This phone along with the unlimited internet t-mobile deal is really an amazing package, considering you can watch high-bitrate streams off the web from anywhere!
Looking forward for them to get it back in stock.

Unlucky mate looks like I might have been a bit lucky...
Don't you wish that mobile networks did 'courtesy phones' while you wait for the real thing! You start paying your tariff (but say on like, 2/3 rate) while you have your temporary phone, and then you could get your SIM then and there and start using it - and then your phone gets delivered to you and you start paying full whack again for your contract.
Course, none of the networks'll do it. Nah.
business
The business customer services are waiting to. The lady I am dealing with emails me each afternoon after 4 to tell there have been none in the delivery.
Bought mine in Guildford on Saturday . there were a few in the City last week (Cheapside & Fleet St).
Still playing with it. Hanging on to Tmob at the moment to get HSDPA switched on. do they ever answer the phone? i assume 150 is a free call or i'm going to run out on mins very soon!!
not free
150 is only free on certain tarifs - sorry - I got caught out at the begining with that too.
Hey,
Was just wondering where people are planning on getting their Desire Z from and if you are planning on going the contract route or just paying for it out-right and getting a sim-free phone.
As of yet it looks like Play.com , handtec and clove look the best for sim-free.
As for carriers I am yet to see this being advertised on any, only the Desire HD is showing as coming soon.
I had a chat with someone from T-Mobile today and the think they should have them in October and wouldn't say when.
Contract options are going through my current contract with T-Mo and getting a locked and branded handset and keep my unlimited data (3gbs) or going through any of the other carriers through a dif website and their max unlimited data seems to be on T-Mo but is down to a ridiculous 1gb/mnth.
What your thoughts?
Getting mine sim free. Had a Touch Pro 2 which I bought outright, and just got a contract o2 sim from carphonewarehouse which I swapped out to sim only... Running at about £5 p/m... Anyway, TP2 died, sent to insurance, who gave me money towards my new phone
So, looking to get the Desire Z. Prolly gonna go to handtec... Was told that htc only offer the 2 year warranty when bought from authorised htc resellers, otherwise, it's only a 1 year warranty. Anyone know how true this is?
Can't wait till they're released tho Looks a great phone...
Good point about warranty. But I'm going to pay by Egg Money Card to get extended warranty to 24 months.
I remember my last phone from T-Mobile had 2 years warranty. But when I tried to check Handtec and Clove websites I couldn't find anything about warranty period for this phone. But other HTC phones have 2 years warranty.
handtec sell UK stock and is covered by 2 year warranty via HTC. I have my past 4 HTC phones from them.

I was reading somewhere that the date got pushed to October 16th I think for anyone buying from tmobile. I could be wrong though seeing as they have already postponed it once.
As far as contract vs outright, I know I dont have 500 dollars or so lying around and am already tired of ATT service, so im going with the discounted handset and improved service
Always buy sim-free. In Poland contract is installment purchase with very high interest rates in fact. I prefer unlimited internet & text + 1000 minutes instead of new phone with poor plan.
definitely SIM free...in Australia, I would have to wait until around 2011 before I could get this phone on contract - and even then it would be very expensive!
Looking at expansys...which will be selling it for around $760AUD including shipping..but i'll also see what ebay sellers can do! Hopefully around $700!! (or less)
Amazon.co.uk. They won't be available in my country (Slovakia) at launch, plus they will be overpriced as hell. Expansys has it overpriced too (even including the postage fees i will be around 510 euros from Amazon, vs 535 euros from Expansys).
On contract ? LOL. HTC Desire was added to my T-Mobile SK phone list just 2 or 3 weeks ago .
I have a free handset upgrade just sitting in Telstra's system in hopes that the Z will come to them. Either the Z or the Droid 2 World edition or whatever other bad ass phone may come.
I am from New Zealand want a contract free phone i doubt Telecom/Vodafone releases it .They just released Desire & X10
If i buy from UK or any other international seller where is the warranty applicable?? .

Generally the warranty wont be valid outside the country the device was purchased in.......but I cant guarantee that

The question you got to ask yourself with this question is if you like to play around with your phone like flashing roms and all sorts of other stuff on your phone (since you're on here I'm guess that could be a yes)
Do you want to have that process be easy then go with the Z or if you prefer jumping through many hoops and possibly not having that ability you could go with the Moto.
I got to say I love Moto hardware, they have some of the most rock solid build quality and design but how they lock down their devices and have that rubbish blur on it annoys me....not to mention I was about 2 seconds away from buying a Milestone last year when it was released and seeing that it might never get its 2.2 update really makes me glad I didn't.

You might want to have a closer look into how much that 'unlimited internet' is that they are giving you. I was doing one of those chat things with one of their sales team and turns out that even though they were offering me a T-Mobile contract that it would be through mobilephonesdirect and so their unlimited internet is only 1Gb instead of T-Mobiles 3Gb which I though was a total rip-off.
Let us know when your phone finally arrives, not heard many good things about that company. Hope everything goes well.
by contract, vodafone NL 200, €25 pm for free, hopefully by the 15th oct, otherwise 8th nov
Still waiting for offers. Currently only vodafone is offering a not expensive contract here in Holland. Now €25.
Problem is that the " unlimited" internet here is limited, except on t- mobile. So ill wait a bit since my contract will end in the beginning of November.

Their deals have changed. When I went into work the next day after ordering this package, my boss asked why I didn't get a phone through our company, as he can claim money back or something. So I had him look into a deal for me and if it worked out better, I'd cancel this one. I went back to the site to double-check what the deal was so I could give my boss the full details and I couldn't see the package I had ordered the night previously. So by the looks of things, it is no longer available.

Hi everyone. I would like to ask if anyone has used this site... its simply to good to be true
http://www.affordablemobiles.co.uk/contract-mobile-phones/t-mobile/mrc_%C2%A335/samsung/n7000/25494050.html
Thanks
I ordered one from them, my first time ordering from that company, the phone showed as being available for dispatch the next day. I ordered it on the 9th and I still don't have it.
I'll let you know how i get on.
Update: 0 in stock, no idea of when they'll have more, i'll wait until i find a better deal to cancel
I tried from them but thry didnt have stock and didnt let me know so i cancelled and went elsewhere

There is no note there, what's the problem?
Thanks for the replays. i bought one from BuyMobilePhones.net got the delivery next day, and now i'm enjoying my note. the problem with the site in question is that is too good to be true plus i red some very bad revues.
thanks
Just spoke with them:
0 in stock
NO estimated delivery time on new stock
Website still shows as in stock

Any problems? And are you not in the u.s.?
I ordered mine from affordablemobiles.co.uk on the 11th of Jan and it arrived today. Great deal + free accessories too!
Received my Note today! Ordered a couple of weeks ago from affordablemobiles, seemed too good to be true compared to all the other o2 deals around but so far so good. I read up a little on them and the customer service is not the best and apparently the money back and gifts can be a pain, I just went for the best value o2 with decent data.
Anyone one considering the phone; going from dell streak I am very impressed, especially the screen sharpness and colours are beautifull, cant wait to start flashing random roms
Why do some people have to wait a couple of weeks and others have to wait less than one?
The better the deal the longer the wait?
I got mine out of a phones 4u store. I ended up getting it on o2 for £32 a month, 600 mins unlimited texts, 500mb data, plus bonus 500 o2 to o2 minutes.
No upfront cost.
Just go in and have a brass neck and don't take no for an answer, they DO have the power to make you a deal regardless what they say. You have a lot of power at contract renewal time because the market is saturated. Your network wants to keep you, and other networks want to poach you, so milk it for all its worth.
It might feel a bit uncomfortable telling them that the deal they're offering isn't good enough, but it;s worth it.

Was this a renewal or a new contract? I'm thinking of switching to O2, I initially wanted to because they offered £5 off O2 residential broadband if you have a phone contract but prices went up and we've kept the old plan without a price increase which is a better deal than the new O2 broadband contracts with a £5 discount.
But i noticed that they have new phones in stock much sooner than other carriers so i'm interested again.

got mine from them as well, ordered it on 26th december, expecting to wait unil after new years bank holiday, had it that Saturday.
managed to get it as £25 a month, 900min, 500txt, 500mb+Unlimited Web and Email Booster and no cost for the phone 24month T-mobile.
Mine finally arrived today, the phone looks like its already been opened, i'm going to have to check this properly before i accept it
My upgrade is due with O2 so rang them up today to see what kind of deal they can give me on the Galaxy Note in order to keep my business. I did the usual basic "I've seen better deals elsewhere, match it or I'm leaving" speach.
However, I was told Samsung don't allow them to alter their prices on this device at all. Both people I spoke to, in the upgrades & then in the retention departments didn't even have details of the note on their system to tell me what the prices even are, nevermind to see if they can beat them. It can only be purchased online with O2, not over the phone and not in store, therefore the online prices is all they can offer.
They said the note is the first device they've seen work like this. So I'm left with either paying top dollar or going with one of the obscure online retailers that I'd rather avoid.

You mean "obscure online retailers" like amazon.de?
Seriously, every carrier out there is putting up outrageous prices for the Note. The best way to deal with this is to ignore them and buy from hardware vendors. If more people did that, it would send a clear enough message.
By obscure sites I was suggesting more like affordablemobiles.co.uk who advertise really good deals, but you'll probably be waiting weeks for delivery, never get your 'free gift' and have a hell of a hard time sorting your 'cashback' out.
I'd much rather give my money to companies that are unlikely to mess you about like the major networks, however times are hard
i got mine from buymobilephones.net and was delivered the next day
Also buy mobiles.net and got it next day. I've used them twice now without a problem. The stupid thing is I left o2 because they couldn't match buy mobiles price on an o2 tarriff lol !!

Outright lie, it's been like that with the iPhone line since the first.
Do what I did and order from Amazon.de and go with GiffGaff.
I agree with the above, upgrades seem a thing of the past now, when due with three, i was offered a great upgrade deal except it was the same as if i was a new customer lol
i don t play there game anymore, i got mine from amazon.de, and now have a rolling contract so if they pee me off i only have to give 1 months notice
I too got mine through buymobilephones.net. No hassle from them at all.
£31 a month plus £80 for the phone I was happy with that (considering it was a week after release).
