Hi all,
Release date for the HD2 on O2 was yesterday, I have been trying my utmost to get hold of one of these. Does anyone know any insider information?
I seem to be getting different info from different O2 reps.
I WANT ONE NOW!
Nobody knows - but the best guess at the moment is next week at the earliest. O2 just can't seem to answer a straight question different representatives giving different answers. It could come out this afternoon but nobody knows
looks like its been delayed until november now

based on what?
Gonna phone them again. They are all saying its due this week but can't tell me when. They say only once it shows on the system can they price it etc.
Next rep has said they are conducting tests on it and it will be released on the 26th November. I am so bloody impatient!

i know it's terrible waiting! i am so DESPERATE for this phone lol
Getting around all the hype, I don't think the Palm Pre has been a fantastic seller for them and I think if the HD2 drops now it will leave them with a lot of unsold Pre's.... so they are holding it back for the that reason (pure guesswork on my part).

The HD2 was supposed to be "in the final stages of acceptance testing" last week.

How they expected the Pre to sell as well as their marketing implies that they expected it to, is a mystery to me - the Pre offers very little new or exciting, with the OS being the only real exception (and I've heard a wide range of opinions on the OS). The problem is, if they hold back the HD2, they're going to end up not selling many of those as most people who want one will have moved to a different network or got one unlocked (O2 is one of the worse networks now IMHO - presumably they spent all of their money on iPhone exclusivity and subsidisation rather than improving their network and offering good deals).
Why doesn't the BBC interview O2 about the HD2 instead of wasting time interviewing them about the Pre?
I agree

I think you might jus be right on that one my friend hopefully that wil teach them next time not be greedy and try to stock every handset under the sun
Yes, been pushed back to 3rd week November. However none of the reps I have spoken to are absolutely sure when it will be out, nor what the final pricing structure will be.
I am assuming they will definitely be out by December to catch the Xmas traffic.
WB
Lol,
they will be selling it on estonia at late october on early november.
T-mobile is also selling them on 6 Nov according to them. I guess O2 thinks they are special and people will wait for them
Keep an eye on this thread guys.
Ok, WHOS calling o2 everyday (Multiple times) like me?

How do you know? One of the early excuses for an ambiguous date was that O2 didn't want the HD2 to hurt Pre sales. However, there's clearly a lot more demand for the HD2 and a lot less demand for the Pre than they expected, so O2 might decide to fast-track the HD2.
Latest from o2;
I called customer services and spoke to a guy who said they will definitely be getting stock over the weekend and it will definitely be on sale on the 26th October. I have now spoken to quite a few o2 reps and none have sounded as positive as this one. He didn't even have to go and ask a supervisor/manager/buyer........
We shall see!

Thing is, they were originally planning to launch the HD2 on 12th October, so that blows your theory out of the water. See here:

Of course he didn't have to ask a supervisor. He was just telling you what you wanted to hear so he could get you off the line and move on to the next customer with a genuine need of assistance.
I'm not trying to be nasty, but there's no way the HD2 will be on sale from O2 on Monday, when none of the e-tailers are getting it until 11th November at the earliest. So for the next month or so, why don't you be patient, leave the poor call centre staff alone and get on with enjoying your life. It's only a phone.
Anyone has more news on the release dates and availability in US soil?
This thread is intended to gather all that information, the different available version at launch and prices
so far ive heard mid/late april and also may 7 which i thought was canadian release date, which could always be tied in with US release,
either way....hopefully this thread can help get a better idea of the US release
I guess we will probably get it the week after singapore release.

I am surprised they don't have U.S. preorders out yet, which makes me think that it is coming at a later date
But who knows
http://www.tomshardware.com/news/Tegra-2-EeePad-Transformer-Price-Release-Launch,12494.html
The release for this baby is 'early April' according to Asus, so we won’t have to wait long to find out the official pricing (considering April is, you know, here).

Darn, I got excited when I read the thread title.
i've waited too long the fever is cooling down.
they are out of supplies in taiwan, and due to japan earthquake, parts were delayed. i'd be surprised if they'll have enough to display in every bestbuy store by end of month.
I saw dates of April 19 being mentioned in various places, but more likely in other forums. None of the etailers like amazon have anything on it either, although newegg lists the 32GB version but no release date or price. Japan situation is really bad though so that could be reason of no word from asus. If there really is a big delay and it goes into May I might just wait and see what the samsung 10.1 situation is as thats meant to be released June 6 or 9.
OMG I desperately want this tablet. At first I was all for the Xoom, but my interest in this tablet has grown exponentially daily! I just hope that it's out in bestbuy by my birthday, April 23rd!!

Well i hope the 19th is accurate because my birthday is on the 18! easy way to justify the purchase! but given we're a week away with no word, can only hope now.
mine's 17th
we should have a bday party together, stare at the pictures of transformer, and tears running down the face
Amazon UK are now saying preorders will be dispatched on the 1st of June. That could mean the US release is pushed back at least that far.
I really hope it goes up for sell sometime in April. Not sure I can wait much longer....

How could that be? Didn't the Transformer go on sale very recently in the UK? So, couldn't someone in the UK just walk into a retail store as we would in the US and pick one up - or is it really that backed up/not available in stores?
Anyone working for bestbuy, or with friends working there or friends of friends or ... that can spill some details?
We promise we won't say anything and we'll keep this just among us...
i envy you guys...i was waiting for tmo's gslate until i saw the transformer..but my needs changed and i'm dropping my gal tab since i picked up the asus eee slate ep121....and although i will miss android...i cant say enough good things about this slate

Amazon always tends to play it safe to try and avoid extra calls etc. However, as soon as they have the stock available they will ship it out ASAP and I am sure that will not be June.
Now I just wish we would get a US release date!
Here they talk about the 18th, but I don't know how reliable this source is:
http://www.pdfdevices.com/asus-eee-pad-transformer-hacked-even-before-the-us-release/
I hate to say this but, if it was anytime in April, I would think that we would be able to pre-order.
At this point I may be moving forward with the Iconia....
i was debating on the acer jsut because the US hasn't even heard a thing about a release date, but i don't know if i can push myself to do that lol
ill probably end up waiting, but it would be nice if we would hear ANYTHING confirming any release date in the states

Or that is just what this phone costs. People said the same thing as you about ATT pricing.
Thought I had replied to this thread. Weird.
Any way, Best Buy is sometimes known to throw a page up with an inflated price until they get the official price for it. I'm hoping that's the case this time too. Especially since Sprint doesn't even have a page for this phone that I can find let alone a price.
Otherwise, $900 is way too much for this phone and I won't be getting it. Even $800 is a bit much.

Yeah I think they did this with the LG G5 too before that was released earlier this year. Also, Sprint is going to be doing a promotion where you can trade in any smartphone with mopre than 10$ in trade in value for 200$ in credit, although that might only be for if you get the phone in an easy pay or lease option and not a full buyout thing.
I am waiting on T-Mobile for their page to go live for pre-order. If the price is that same as on the other carriers, I will have to stick with my V10 or try out the Axon 7 til the price drops below $650.
Also, if the carrier doesn't offer the B&O headphones ... I will have to pass.

It is already confirmed that LG is offering pre-orders in the US a pair of the H3's. As far as I can tell, they haven't really excluded any major carriers on the offer. Not sure if those who don't pre-order will get them or not. I assume "quantities are limited". So you either have to bite the bullet and get in on the pre-order if the headphones are important to you or wait for the price to drop and forgo them if price is more important. Hopefully the price won't be so bad though. I have heard Tmo pre-orders could open on the 12th (already passed though), 14th, 17th or 20th.

Given QA/QC problems of the past for LG, and the MSRP...I don't think they plan on worrying about selling many.
hahaha dude, why are you here? I legit want to know. you're just negative and a buzz kill to everybody who's interested in this phone. you're not buying it? great! we won't have to see topics of your complaining. why not just go find another forum here for whatever magical phone you want to buy instead of the v20 already?

Well, we don't have an actual MSRP from any other carrier yet besides AT&T. There's still a slight chance that the other carriers could undercut AT&T. Hopefully. The only place I hear about QA/QC problems with LG is in hardcore Android forums and it only really seems to be a few very vocal people. Certainly, I'll keep my eyes open but I'm willing to ride the odds in favor of no issues. But if Sprint can't put the phone in with the rest of their phones when they have the iPhone plastered everywhere on their site, they'll never sell it then wonder why. Then again, having met the Sprint CEO in the very bar I'm sitting in right now, I'm not surprised. Doesn't seem any carrier is really trying all that hard though. AT&T has their demo model off in another corner away from the other LG phones in the stores I visited. T-Mobile has it listed on their site with the other LG phones but that's about all of the exposure it gets from them at the moment. The reps are definitely psyched for this phone though.

I'm pretty sure it's Essential Home. It's been "coming soon" for 6 months.

My thoughts exactly. It's pretty ridiculous. They have no logistics and customer service in Canada at all. Telus is exclusively running their entire distribution channel here. Hopefully Telus will offer accessories.
On the same note, since the PH-1 didn't sell well for Telus, if they discontinue their relationship with Essential this or next year, what will that mean for us? Would all these phones become unsupported? I would think that Essential would have to take ownership of the warranty and support at that point.

I'm hoping they do take over if Telus pulls out. I think they should support their devices in every country its legally sold otherwise whats the point of selling it with no support?
I took a chance with this because I love supporting the underdog but you would think that Andy Rubin would know how to handle all of this considering his background.
I have even sent a support request last month which was totally ignored. Not even a response to say talk to Telus.
So i got a reply to my original question of why we don't have support in Canada and why there is no purchase ability for Canada. They responded with this
They clearly pushed a generic email response.
Let down
the headphone were a let down. It still doesn't solve my problem of not being able to use my nice wired headphones while charging. Really was hoping for a dongle
I'm just feeling disappointed as HTC does not treat customers with respect and it's not offering what every other phone makers would offer - a type c to 3.5mm converter and an accurate release date, which are both costless but important to customers.
I've been a fan of HTC since I got my HD2 many years ago, but this year I'm kind of disappointed with their attitude to its fans.
I am in Canada and is like the US , I still waiting mine.
Actually, I didn't want to react to it at all. But from what you've said, I have to write it ironically. You already had $100 discount codes, we Europeans didn't even have anything like an HTC Club. You already received promotional gifts when we didn't even know there was such a thing from HTC. You didn't open your mouths back then and said all fans should get the same options/discounts, so don't complain now that things are going the other way around. Honestly: everything balances out in life, and now we have just drawn the lucky one.
In general I say here in all frankness, just leave this America first attitude at home, and think sensibly for once. It is fair that we finally enjoy the benefits that you have enjoyed for years. This year it's just Europe first. Maybe there will come a time when it will again be the other way around.

Seriously this is pretty melodramatic because you had to wait a few extra days to get a phone.. HTC never made any promises about the release date to any country. Some regions of Europe got it early, lucky them. HTC doesn't owe you ****.
Knowing HTC phones and US carriers I can almost guarantee that HTC is taking every second it can before shipping to the US to ensure full compatibility with Verizon, T-Mo, and AT&T. There have been issues with the past couple of HTC phones so it makes sense they are trying to get it right.
I am eagerly awaiting my day one pre-order too, but it will get here when it gets here. HTC isn't treating you unfairly or discriminating against you.

Hi, I think you mistook what I said. The $100s coupons and gifts are what European customers get, not American or other regions' users. There's no HTC Club in the U.S but Europe.
I didn't mean US should get everything first. Actually I'm not American. I live and work in the US at the moment though. And I don't think I have the US first attitude.
The reason why I thought the phone would be released in the U.S first is that HTC held MeetU events in the U.S. first. I went to the one in SF and had an opportunity of getting hands on the phone, and at that time when I placed my order it said June 7th would be the release date.
I'm just feeling disappointed as HTC does not treat customers with respect and it's not offering what every other phone makers would offer - the converter and an accurate release date.
Amazon.com has had a solid release date this whole time. Originally, it was June 7 when HTC said the U12+ would ship in June. Now, Amazon says June 21 when HTC now says will ship in July. As for your other questions, HTC barely has a presence in the US anymore. When Samsung took over the market share, HTC stopped being carried in US stores (besides Sprint for the U11... and 10? I forget). I personally just don't think the US is a major priority for HTC anymore. Without being in stores, it's really difficult to move units... And maybe they stopped trying to get into US stores because it was costing more than the profit they were actually making before? The same thing happened with Blackberry. They've been struggling (as we all know) and haven't been in all US carriers either.

the only reason they arnt a main flagship carrier in the US is because of bad/lack of advertising while samsung constanly has consistent S series phone line while HTC has been all over the place with naming of phones and Samsung runs ads on television and youtube constanly, HTC just needs better marketing out in the US market, also my few cents here but can all the EU/Germany people cool down when someone from US posts they have a right in their own country to speak freely no matter how you may view their thoughts, so plz be respectful, all the original poster was saying how he feels that germany and all the EU markets are getting the phones first when the US market still hasnt gotten theirs still and even im kinda sad about that as well, it has nothing to do with entilement it has to do with a sense of fairness

USA is one of the regions where HTC U12+ was earliest announced and the SF and NYC MeetU events were the first two chances where fans had the opportunity of getting hands on the new phone. I thought HTC would treat US customers seriously, but by now it has done everything to make us unhappy instead.
1. European fans have been receiving their phones since last week or earlier, but in the US there's not even an accurate date.
2. European HTC Club members enjoy a fairly good discount, while US TeamHTC members get nothing at all.
3. European HTC Club members get a types-c to 3.5mm converter for free, but US customers will have to buy one by their own...
I really can't understand HTC's marketing strategy. At least it should treat all customers equally, right?

Before I cancelled my preorder, I was to pay £629 with the HTC club discount. With a quick search online, $799.99 is £608. So that pays for the free dongle we get.
As for customer support, my bank card was cloned, and HTC have been just about useless helping me change it to my new card, so I won't get my preorder at all, so I cancelled it. At least I emailed them to cancel it and they haven't replied.
I agree customers should be treated equally where possible, but unfortunately HTC are almost sunk and doesn't seem they have the means to do so anymore.

There seems to be a missunderstanding between the two of you. The HTC Club discount for the U12+ is the first discount many countries have ever gotten in Europe. The US, on the other hand, got several discounts and gifts*, in the past. That's what @5m4r7ph0n36uru is referring to.
* these are only the first three examples I could find via google
this shouldn't be any surprise, HTC is pulling out of the US market...no longer carried by any of the carriers & not even supported on Sprint. HTC canned most of their US employees.
Enjoy a new HTC product in the US while you can, the end is near!

I think the network situation is gonna get better with tmobile/sprint merger as everyone has moved to GSM from CDMA and sprint is the last remaining CDMA carrier so i only expect things to get better after its finalized as i used to be on sprint and am happy with tmobile, i didnt make the move right away tho i tried at&t/criket wireless and it sucked and turned out to be more expensive when u want data, where tmobile im part of a company plan and get "unlimited" data where i only got slowed down if i needed to tether from an isp internet outage and was downloading games from steam but when i was it was usable after that still and phone call coverage wise its more usable than when i was on sprints, also are you gonna be making a debloated rom OMJ for this phone really liked the bad boyz rom for when i had the M7 when i had sprint?

Thanks @Flippy498 for clearing that one up. It's exactly what I wanted to state. Didn't want to attack anyone personally, or things like that. Just help clearing up what has been the case for years and is seemingly changing currently.

I don't think you meant Flinny.... I don't have a u12+ and currently am not planning on getting one. Not that I don't like the look of it but 24 month contracts...... and I have no REAL need for a new phone yet, at least enough to warrant buying one outright

Well shipping is a joke. People ordered from Amazon is getting on hold or out of stock.

The problem is no one at Amazon knows where the June 21 date came from. It's never been in stock to begin with!

They did received first shipment, but not enough. At least what they told me. Lol.
If they don't ship next week. I'll cancel and move to something else.

Well, every person I spoke to there said they never had it in stock. In any event, all we can do is wait.
