Its available only from 2nd week of April,right now they are taking orders

right, cause i didn't saw those phones before so i thought they are on sale now
sorry for mistake

There's already an Arc section, you know?
Anyway, good for british future Arc buyers. Only at hands we'll see if this new phone is as good as SE and fans say.
Question: How much Arc will cost?

The website still says 'pre-order now for 28th March delivery'. Quite misleading.

i've checked on carphonewarehouse and the ARC is in stock

Went to carphone warehouse in Stafford at lunchtime. They only had the Play in stock. Orange shop had Play and Arc in. Definitely getting the Arc when I can (5 weeks).

i've bought over the inernet from carphonewarehouse in o2 and will receive it on monday probably

Received My Xperia Arc
Pre-Ordered my Xperia Arc from the Phones4U website on the 25th March and they sent it out on the 31st March and arrived next day delivery today!
Just playing with it now.

I collected mine on last Thursday from CPW.

Phone4u are also stocking the arc. £399 sim free + £10 top up on a pay as u go sim.
BUT.......fully unlocked so bootloader bypass baby..........when se release it.

I just had a good experience with expansys (well, to-date at least). Ordered contract+phone today, got it shipped same day - may arrive tomorrow if luck favours me.
Petrov.
direct from Orange, via Retentions.
Called Friday afternoon (around 3ish), phone was here following Tuesday
Not the cheapest deal - but then it is actually sitting here right now
Bought
I bought mine from Clove UK for cheapest on the web and had it shipped to the US in 3 days.
I am in Hong Kong and would like to buy to buy HD too...
But don't know where has best price and can ship to Hong Kong........
Anyone can tell me please?
Thanks!
Kayzee,
You can use Expansys in UK or Clove UK....but no test first ..because it sealed..
You can also buy here in HK, but it's HKD 6,500 with only shop warranty..but you can test first..
It is some shop in Mongkok... let me know if youre interested...? PM me..
anyone know if buymobilephones.net is any good. they have some good deals on there
Bought mine from handtec.co.uk. Paid them on Wednesday, sent on a Thursday, received in Australia by Monday!

Mate, did you have to pay any GST or Duty ?
Looking to get one soon. Do you know if HTC Australia will accept any warranty claims ?
Cheers.
If you don't mind the customer services issues and think purely on the tangible bottom line - then you should go for mobiles.co.uk I say.
Got mine from mobiles.co.uk - arrived with no real problems.
Customer Services are very hit and miss but as I now have my phone I can go to my local Carphone Warehouse shop should it need the attention of the repairs department.
Thanks for all your replies; and so quickly...........great forum.
Have a great day guys.
i bought mine from clove uk
and it arrive to saudi arabia after 3 business days

Sorry to tell you, but I ordered my THD around November 13th via the O2 phone hotline and received it just 2 week later.
go to a smaller store. better not in the city.
i bough mine directly in an o2 shop.
hamburg in stock
Bought mine on Tuesday in hamburg.
phoned all the o2 shops and found 2 small stores with the phone in stock.
Would advise you the same.
But be careful most of them only want to sell them bundled with an o2 contract.
But it should be a really big Problem to get one.
(at least if you have a city near by)
Sorry for my english,
I'm out of practice....
Thanks for the feedback guys, I'll look for it tomorrow (right, I'm in Munich)
Best regards.
"go to a smaller store. better not in the city."
I live right in cologne, but thanks.
And I already continued my contract in that O2-Shop.
So I think I am fixed to this store.
But I will visit the shop in the afternoon again.
Maybe they need a little pressure.

Where to buy HDH in UK sim free?

Hello, I will come to London tomorrow for several days, could you recommend me a shop (not e-shop) where I can buy DHD sim free and with an opportunity to make tax free
hey, guys?
You can go into Carphonewarehouse and pick one up, to claim your VAT(tax @17.5% if you buy before January 2011) back, you will need to do this when you are leaving the country. Make sure you ask for a VAT receipt when you purchase as you will need to show this at the airport when claiming tax back.
Search google for your local Carphonewarehouse when you come to the UK and enjoy your stay here.
By the way, all Carphonewarehouse phones seem to be Sim unlocked, if you do buy from there, just confirm this with them before handing out you cash.
oh, I know this shop, thanks a lot
I hope you haven't left just yet, Phones4U also do a few good deals Check them out (note:Not an e-shop, or else I would have recommended Amazon.co.uk with the fastest next day delivery option selected)

Xperia S available in Australia

THIS IS FOR PREORDER
Hi Guys,
So you can order the S on this Aussie site -
http://www.mobicity.com.au/sony-xperia-s.html#tabContainer
It says the phone comes with android 2.3, can thius be upgraded to ICS?
Is there anyword how long it will take to get an upgrade for this.
I really would have thought that it would have come out with ICS pre installed as it is a new phone???

Thanks I updated the post, do you have any idea on the upgrade question????
There's other threads on when ICS comes to Xperia elsewhere. The Arc S and a few others get it around the end of April, so I imagine the new S will be the same. My 'plain' Arc has to wait until May
Are you kidding?
729 AU $ that's about 590 € and here you can pre-order it for 450 €.
And btw, the Xperia S should get the update in June.

Ok thanks, I know its expensive, but thats about what I paid for my Arc, its kinda the only place you can get new phones here in Oz, not branded, or locked. If anyone else knows of somewhere cheaper, Im open to suggestions!
I would pay this, sell my Arc on ebay for about 300/400 and make up the extra to get it otherwise.......
no one can confirm its price yet as it hasn't been released anywhere yet. So we cant say if thats an expensive price or not.
sellers just put it on their websites for pre-order to attract customers.
it will first be released in Japan on the 24th of this month and on pre-order tomorrow in japan
so we might get a price to compare world wide
you can get the japanese version and have it officially unlocked by ntt docomo.
good luck on whatever you decide to do

Xperia Z: Releasedate in Germany 21th February

just read it in the news: sony officially announced the releasedate for the xperia z in germany to be the 21th of february. but at this date, only in berlin.
on the 22nd, it'll be available in stores everywhere in germany.
yeaahhh...finally.....looking forward....i'm so exited... :laugh::good:
Ordered mine through Clove UK, hopefully it'll release on the 21th, not the 28th
Sent from my GT-N7100 using xda app-developers app
This is going to be interesting.
I ordered it through a danish company that get their phones from Germany ( I live in Norway).
According to them I'm supposed to recieve it 7-9 days from now.
I could have pre ordered it from Norway but they have expected dates of 7th of march, and so far none have offered the purple one.
Although I have no confirmation for this I have a strong feeling the dk26 will be bundled.
Norwegian hands on review shows this, and I've read that people in France, Germany and others also will get this.
Crossing fingers and toes :fingers-crossed:

f****** s***balls
Just cancelled my order!
Found out now after asking for updated info that now the expected date was 1st of April. What an absolute JOKE
I will probably check a bit more around during the weekend if there is anywhere to get the purple one.
Seems like it is sold out across the board..
Well well, looks like I now might actually pass on this and keep my one x for a while longer and see what others are to offer.
Sad, i really liked the exterior of the Z
Where are you located and who did you order from?
Btw, black, white or purple?

So tell us ?!
Thumb uppie or downie?
And if you got the purple one I will surely hate you
Just got mine yesterday...great is all I can say...though it is just a black one...

Definitely uppie :good:! it's really an awesome device! Love it even more every minute. but maybe i'm the wrong benchmark, because i'm coming from a good old htc hd2 (leo).
i ordered the black one, 'cause i think it's the most elegant and timeless color. the white one looks nice, too, but the black screen on the front...
the purple one is a nice one also, but i'm afraid after a few month i'll be fed up by this color.
i don't regret purchasing this phone. it's just brilliant in my opinion.
