HD2 Release Date Delayed

---

While contacting Handtec to pre-order the HD2, I have been informed that there will be a delayed. Instead of 11 of November, the new availability date has been pushed back to 18 November or so.

Can anyone enquire with their retailer and confirm (or refute) this bad news?

Apparently, HTC advised them of the delay; yet, no details have been given.

I suspect a ROM or logistics problem.

Clove changed the ETA as well last night

Stock due 13th November (First UK Stock). Should be free stock so place back orders now!

I was told Nov 17th from the beginning, but some retailers should have them in stock this week.

I have ordered the HD from Handtec before and I think they're cheaper!

1 week delay shouldn't be that much of a problem. When I read the thread title I though of something like mid December...

I can agree with you to some extent, but I had already made my mind that I was going to get and play with it net weekend. A delay is a delay as far as I am concerned and if there is no, there may be more! Who knows...!

I sell my old blackstone few days ago, so 1 week more with a ****ty nokia yes, it is a big deal

As far as I know (Ordering in Netherlands)

NL Version was 5/6nov
UK Version was 12/13nov
So I don't see this as new for me...

Exactly, I just sold mime on eBay thinking I would just spend few days with Polaris (backup), now I will try to delay the delivery of the sold item. I don't know what to say to the bidder, though!

From handtec chat:

Customer Services (815): Hi there, how may I assist you today?
kersh: hello
kersh: Last week I made a preorder of the HD2 because I see that you will receive it 11th
Customer Services (815): Hi
kersh: but today looking some forums, I see that you say to some people that handtec release date have been delayed to 18th
kersh: what are your final release date?
Customer Services (815): we can only go by UK's HTC release date - as we have probably UK's largest stock allocation
Customer Services (815): HTC is stating the earliest date of the 11th
Customer Services (815): and latest 18th
kersh: So, you dont have any idea of the release atm and only a range of 11th to 18th
kersh: when will you update the date?
kersh: (with the final)
Customer Services (815): yes - I dont think even HTC know but they have given us that range - luckily our first allocation is big enough for all preorders

So, they don't know the release date and they don't know if they will have enough stock for all on the first batch.

I am thinking in cancel the order and get new one on clove, 13th and they say that he will have enough stock for all.
