Anyone got a definate date for the t-mobile UK release?

---

Some people saying Thursday, some Friday, some Monday.

Anyone had confirmation or have inside T-Mobile info?

Official date touted by T-Mob is the 26th however if their stock arrives early they will be sending it early.

Friday, but probably I will receive it Monday.

You've no chance of receiving it until the 6th at the earliest. No stock will arrive for either phone shops or general retailers until the 1st of April - which unfortunately is the day before Good Friday.

The original 26th projection was erroneous.

26th wasn't a projection - it was the date T-Mobile stated for release on their twitter page and to all press contacting them.

I've also been told by 3 seperate customer service agents that stock will be in by 25th - to expect delivery on Saturday 27th.. If you're lucky, Friday 26th. (Which has been confirmed by pretty much everyone on hotukdeals - who have ordered the phone)

So i'm fairly confident i will be getting my HTC Desire at the very latest - Monday 29th of March. Plus i ordered 2 hours after they put up the pricing details, so got in very early incase their first shipment was limited.

Also to note: T-Mobile and all the networks have a window of time on their Credit Check process. 10 days..

So you'd have quite a few very angry customers - who have been debited £164 for the £10/pm price plan (like myself).. And have a credit search added to their credit report - only having to repeat the credit search process again.. As they can't complete on that time frame until despatch has been confirmed.

I was told Saturday by both the guy in T-Mobile store and T-Mobile on the phone. Although the guy in the store mentioned it's a bank holiday on monday so I won't receive it til Wednesday... :S

Ive spoken to a number of authorised HTC vendors who all say that the 26th WAS stated as the despatch date but that this is now April 1st. How can TMobile get it before the factories have despatched it?

Also Friday and Monday are bank holidays so theres no chance of anything arriving then.

I received an email of black market import manager, he pretends he will get it on 1st April in the showroom,if it's true it will be great to spend Easter holidays with a Desire!
Don't ask how he will get it so fast knowing he buy directly from Asian countries, unless he uses air freight it will come by boat and this take plenty of time (10 days)

I forgot to add....my handset will be unlocked and unbranded and the contract is only costing £306 all-in so even if TMobile somehow get their branded stock out first im still happy

Just decided to ring to confirm again

Stock coming in Friday - Should arrive Saturday.. So think where ya getting ya info is incorrect..

1) T-Mobile wouldnt pump out a release date of 26th - and tell all the press aswell

2) I can't imagine they'd waste submitting thousands of credit searchs - only to have to resubmit then and then go through the hassle of removing the original credit search from everyones credit report. As two searchs would have an adverse affect on somebodies credit rating.

3) Doubt they'd be lieing to so many customers about a release of 26th and expected delivery of the Saturday - as everyone on hotukdeals have been told that.. And hundreds of people on there have ordered.

As for phone branding - nobody knows yet what T-Mobile branding will be on the phone. If any.. I'd imagine the battery cover is most likely with the time HTC have had since T-Mobile are getting the first batch.. Simple pop onto ebay in 2/4 weeks and u'll be able to order a replacement cover for £7-10 if you really want.. - As for locking. Not a big deal to people already on T-Mobile like myself - plus unlock codes will be doing the rounds in the next 1-2 months.

As for you getting one for £306 - i giggled - i really did
