[gabbyevs]

me too zafonic you heard anything

 

[zafonic]

No not yet. Clove still expecting stock week commencing 5th March.

 

[bayhota]

any news on when they are expecting this to be released? Was going to pre-order this but waiting to see who gets stock in first.

 

[zafonic]

any news on when they are expecting this to be released?

Which country are you from?

 

[bayhota]

from Northern Ireland, some sites ive seen says this friday, whilst others like play say tomorrow.

 

[zafonic]

Phones4u have stock already of both black and white. I think most will get stock by Wednesday at the latest.

 

[gabbyevs]

Sony Xperia S review | The Verge

Not a great review.

 

[gabbyevs]

depends if its sim free you want or contract bayhota

 

[gabbyevs]

thats the worst review ive read but tbh i think theyre being a bit unfair i dont care about ics not being on it yet

 

[zafonic]

UPDATE:

I have been misinformed by a member of staff from phones4u, they are expecting stock of the Xperia S next week.

gabbyeves,

I have just looked on the Clove site and stock of both black and white Xperia S is not expected now till 12th March.

 

[bayhota]

Just brought it from handtec, never getting into a contract again.

 

[gabbyevs]

i thought i wasnt going mad lol

oh so everywhere been put back now?

 

[zafonic]

I would think so, haven't checked other sites. Really annoying that it's been put back another week as the phone is already released.

 

[gabbyevs]

buymobiles still says expected arrival tomorrow but they just might not have updated yet cant see contracts coming out before sim free

 

[angelus97]

It's annoying that it looks as though we're going to have to wait a few more days, but at least reviews are appearing. I know it'll be an awesome phone, but it's nice to see reviews before the product is released rather than after.

Amazon are now saying the 12th and Play are no longer saying pre-order and are saying it'll be despatched in 1-2 weeks.

 

[bayhota]

Handtec now saying 7-10 days for stock.

 

[zafonic]

I just hope it's not further delayed come next Monday. It's hard enough waiting another week when it looked very likely they were going to be shipped out this week.

 

[gabbyevs]

thats a shame looks like everyones got to wait till next week now-maybe they screwed up the uk dates in the first place?

Just got this email from buymobiles:

Thanks for your order. You have passed our initial security check and your order is ready for processing however your Sony Xperia S is not in stock at the moment.

We expect it to be available again within 10-15 working days, so we are going to temporarily hold-off from processing your credit check until it is back in stock.

As soon as it arrives we will process your order, send you an email, and ship your phone for next-day delivery.

Kind regards

Crap, I'd called them today too at 5.20pm and up to then all was still go.

 

[gabbyevs]

got a feeling they were blagging it jase

why wouldnt they know at the end of the day 5pm that there was no stock in yet?

 

[gabbyevs]

looks like theyre all saying next week now must have been a delay for release

wouldnt be surprised though if contracts are put back even further

 

[bayhota]

my mate works for phone4u and he was saying they have it but they cant release it until the 13th. So id say it would be the same for the rest of the online traders.

Ive just canceled my pre-order with buymobiles, I'll search around on closer to the time and try and get some free nfc tags as well

Tesco are doing some good deals. I'm arming myself with their offers when I go into the O2 store.
