Might be old news. UK Release Date

[gabbyevs]

oh my word.With me sending back the original Desire which they sent me by accident,it started a process of cancellation, so now I've got no contract with T-Mobile and if I want the HD I've got to sign up all over again.I won't be charged,to make sure of that I've cancelled the Direct Debit,bunch of idiots.Also on the phone then they said they won't have it till the 1st Nov

thats quite bad i would complain about that

 

[goalc]

Well you can get a contract that does the job for

 

[alameals]

Hopefully when the windows phone gets released next week there will be a split in people wanting the HTC7 and DHD,thus making stock levels more available

Decided to stick with my MPD order.

Best deals are online?

Best deals are always online..It's the law you know .

You can do it over the phone

HTC Desire HD: 10 Reasons to buy the new Desire | T3 magazine
HTC Desire HD UK launch: All you need to know | T3 magazine

Few articles T3 have just posted up

I had a right go at T3..they linked to the official thread and no credit or anything.

ok ive done something i bit the bullet and cancelled my order with mpd and went with a new contract on p4u

orange 18 mth 35 pounds 500 mins unltd text data free phone plus cashback so overall a better deal

should be with me by wed

anyone who wants to cancel with mpd i done it through theyre enquiry form and they replied pretty quick

Hope it works out for you

Pretty weak article from T3.
Didn't mention the new processor or that it has more RAM...

Typical T3

Not quite sure what you're comparing but a lot of people do compare the straight TCO from an 18 month deal and a 24 month deal, which I disagree with.

You're getting 6 months extra line rental so it should obviously cost more. Although you are tied in for longer.

Anyway, not really directed at you but rant over.

I'm not offended don't worry.

I have loads of reasons for being against 24 and 36 month deals.

• The mobile opertor makes their money back after 18 months..so why should I be locked in for further
• Technology progresses at such a rate, 18 months gone, its old tech..Waiting another 6, loses market value and obselete
• Sometimes you pay

quick question - can I backup my apps on Desire and restore them on new DHD without having to repay?

Does the app link to the phone? I believe its just a googlecheckout purchase so there'd be no way to register it against the phone? Is this correct? thanks

 

[NineToTheSky]

Depends on the condition end of the day.

It would have to in a pretty poor condition at that price. And bear in mind that it says it won't ship until 15th November. I've sent them a message, and I'll let you know their response - if any. I'm not seriously thinking of buying from them because, as others have said, the word that comes to mind is 'scam'.

Won't have to repay anyway..If you have bought an app via android store it saves the history to your account so you don't get charged twice for the same thing.

It's registered to your Google account..well thats my understanding of it all.

yes exactly nine-unless its an error in the listing doesnt sound right at that price-even if it wa sused u can get more than that

 

[gabbyevs]

spencer hope you get what you want let us know what you decide on

 

[gabbyevs]

Hey all, been following the forum for a while just didn't bother registering. Iphone contract ends this month so jumping ship to android. Ordered my DHD on friday through P4U. Just received this email tonight.

Phones 4u Order Despatch Confirmation
-----------------------------------------
Order reference:
66xxxxxx

Dear Alfie,

Your order has now been completed and will be despatched this evening by Royal Mail Special Delivery, who will deliver pre 1:00pm on the next working day.

Delivery address:
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
xxxxxxxxxxxx
xxxxxxxxxxxx
xxxxxxxxxxxxx

So here hoping it is here tomorrow

hi alfie just wondering if you got your phone yet

for some reason someone on live chat told me they havent received any yet

dont think she knew what she was talking about seeing as it says you receive it on or before the 20th

 

[karnka]

Phones4U shops have obviously had some stock, given some of us have actually seen it.

That would suggest their web guys have probably had some too.

 

[gabbyevs]

exactly and as posted above someone has had theirs despatched online so i dont know what this woman was talking about-and its misleading to say you will receive it before a certain date if this is true

 

[gabbyevs]

just spoke to someone on the phone at p4u she said theyre expecting more stock in today so obviously the woman previously meant they had run out not that they hadnt received any

i should get it tomorrow or thurs depending on when they turn up at the warehouse

Are P4U only selling contracts with Orange at the moment?If so I'm not going back to them,signal in my area is terrible

 

[karnka]

Voda as well.

 

[gabbyevs]

yes as karnka says voda and orange theyre selling

 

[bonerp]

just rang handtec - they are expecting sim free in Thursday for delivery Friday otherwise Friday for Monday.

 

[TheSuper]

I've just called up my local Phones 4U and they have the HTC Desire HD in stock and available to buy outright! Simfree price is 450 and colour is dark brown/copper. At first she said i couldn't buy it simfree because it's brand new and just been released and i would have to wait 3-4 weeks but i told her i had called up other Phones4U shops and they said i could buy it simfree there and then (i lied!), so she put me on hold to double check. 30 seconds later she said yes i can come in and buy the phone simfree, not a problem at all! Hahaha! Result!!!

My advice, go to Phones4U pronto!!!!!

I am absolutely f*cking raging! I called my local P4U to arrange a pick up my simfree HTC Desire HD today and they've told me i'll have to pay
