Anyone having issues finding an HD7? I went downtown today (maybe a bit late on the shipment i guess) and they were all sold out.
I asked the guy to check the other stores and nothing came up.
He said the next shipment should come in on thursday, so heads up to anyone.
Could you not order online direct from o2?

Agree, ordered mine online and it arrived the next day. No hassle at all!

Same with me, called the local store on launch day and they didn't have it, ordered online and it arrived the next.
Picked mine up at my local o2 store where they had a few in stock. I don't believe many people have actually noticed the price o2 have these on pay-as-you-go. Either that or they're just not bothered about WP7!
Fantastic device btw, although I did get mine exchanged the next day as the volume up button wouldn't "click" as much as the volume down would.
Try O2 in Angel, that's where I got mine on launch day. I'm not suprised they are in short supply, I turned up at 11:30am on launch day and there was already someone waiting for them to finish logging the delivery into the system
On launch day I visited two O2 stores, one on Oxford Street. They had none on display, none in stock and no POS shouting about them. I crossed the road to the Orange store at 7pm and even at that time they had promo people outside the store encouraging demo's of the Mozart. Inside they had at least 3 demo units, a demo guy and a security guard.
I also called O2 that day and they said the HD7 was not available on PAYG until the next day.
It was clear to me who is putting effort into the WP launch. It's a shame that O2 have exclusivity, because in the end I ordered the HD7 on the O2 website on PAYG on launch day.
I cannot stand O2, but that's the way it works when you value the phone more than the annoyances of the distributor. At least I'm not in any kind of contract with them.
I went to pick mine up yesterday, expecting them to have none. I had been in the day before and asked if they were going to set-up a display (Like the have for the iPhone 4) so I could test out the handset and OS. They assured me it would be up on the Saturday. I thanked them, went on my way...anyway, I went in yesterday (Sunday) and there still was no phones on display, but there was at least some WP7 posters now....I was chatting to a new guy there and he said they simply didn't seem to care about it, because they're so focused on iPhone 4 contracts and the money it brings them.......
As the post above said, O2 don't give a damn. They still have the IP4 marketshare from the 3G/3GS exclusivity deal and that is all they seem to focus on. Orange on the other hand, although having the iP4 now don't have the fortune of that headstart so they seem to make an effort with other handsets.
Had Orange of sold the Omnia 7 on PAYG, I'd of brought that. But as the HD7 is such good value, I went down that route. Within 2 minutes of having it, I was unlocked and chucked in another SIM
I went to 2 O2 stores on the release day, none had a clue when they were getting them in. I ended up ordering the phone off the O2 website and got it next day.
I thought about going to buy one in the O2 store in Westfield, but had a contact in O2 who said that the website was being updated at 07:30 on Thursday morning, so I ordered online before I went to work.
I've not been into Westfield since, so couldn't say if they even had any -- think I walked past last Tuesday, and there was no sign. Got sort of chased out as I attempted to find out if the display HD2 would fit in my jeans pocket.
just got mine tonight on Oxford street.
So giddy
I posted earlier that they had them in O2 Angel and that they had point of sales plastered all over their windows. Suprised no one has tried there rather than whining about O2 not having it in thier local stores. If people still have problems, when posting state which stores are empty.

I've had a succession of pocket PCs since the ipaq 5450 right through to the Vario II and today I took delivery of the Vario III.
I installed Tomtom, google maps, live search and memory map. They all work perfectly.
Am I doing something wrong ?
mine came too - am farting about with it now!
Got mine at 2pm this afternoon - this is how it looks now:
hi patcooke,
how did you get the screen to look like that !!
Ofiaich ...

Hi patcooke!

I had them send it to my works so I wouldn't miss it. The T-mobile sales guy mentioned UPS but when I pounced on him yesterday he said they don't usually do phones.

Mine (T-mobile) came by Lynx parcel delivery due to the Royal Mail Strike - I ordered the phone last Friday at about 6pm and the phone arrived Monday. So they are still trying to do next day delivery..
I ordered mine on Monday, no joy yet. Supposed to arrive by Lynx yesterday. Phone T-Mobile, they basically said sorry, tough luck it'll turn up eventually.

I ordered mine Tuesday & was promised next-day delivery, but it was late, arriving at 10:30am this morning Worth the wait though
T-Mobile store
I went into the T-Mobile store last night to get one, after speaking with a rep on Sunday and being told it would be £80 on an 18 month tariff at £32.50p/m (with the £5 p/m discount they're currently running). The checked the price again when I got there, and they said on that tariff it should be £139.99, but since the other guy had told me £80 they'd do it for that. Then when they got to the checkout and it asked for payment, it was only £49.99!
Very happy indeed!!! There's a few things I'm not sure about tho, like I can't find any settings for HSDPA, no network wizard thing included, and strangely no satnav software (even tho T-Mobile point out it has built-in GPS) and they didn't even offer me any!
Not to beat a dead horse hear but is anyone else having a hell of a time getting a tilt from our good ol reliable at&t stores? To first answer the obvious question; Why dont I just buy it online and shut the f_ _ k up about it? Answer- Because I have a hook up which will get me the device for next to nothing.
I am just wondering if anyone else is finding the shipments to actual stores as big of a ***** as me?
Thanks
Paul
Yup
I went to an ATT store in downtown Brooklyn on Monday, they told me they had Tilts, but they were not selling them to anyone not renewing their contracts. I ended up ordering mine online that day (no commitment). I got it this morning XP
I too have an in store hookup. He finally gave me a call yesterday. None of my stores got them in until a week and a half after release.
I was a little disappointed with their release of the phone and lack of distrobution but at least I got it now and it rocks.
The store local to me has them in stock on 10/7 and still have some. But they had no accesories (car charger, cases, headphones, etc.) and didn't even have one on display. I bought mine online, and had it the next day.
I had to call all the stores from Wall Street to Jersey City, and finally found ONE and she put it on hold for me to pick it up after work. Talk about a hard device to get a hold of! But, it was well worth it.
I just find it a bit odd that a corporate store in orange county has a harder time getting devices. If anything considering the 3g network up and running and even now (supposedly) HSUPA! Just think it just shows how retarded at&t really is. Thanks for the feedback everyone. Has anyone in the greater los angeles/ orange county area been able to get one from a local store?
The distribution center is 30 minutes from my house. How much you willing to pay for one?

How bout a carton of Marlboro's? LOL
You really in prison, damn our tax dollars hard at work again. Are you really that close to the distribution center? Is it in Cali or Texas? I will be waiting for my bro at the at&t store considering the discount Ill get but thanks for the offer.
In Silicon Valley, each of the local AT&T stores got a few on initial release and they were all sold in 1 day. My local store got a few more and called me since I had asked to be notified. By the time I called back, there was just one left and I was lucky to get it.
These things are hot at least in areas of high tech geek concentration ;-)
No offense of course since I am definitely one of those high tech geeks.

Order online. I had mine in two days.
Of course after I received it, one of the buttons didn't work, so I had to return it to a store for a swapout. It took quite a few calls, but i finally found one about 45 minutes from me.
Tip - If you order online, put in on a credit card. If for some reason you need to return it to a store within the first 30 days, that's the only way you'll be able to. Luckily I put mine on a card. If you have it charged to your monthly bill, you'll have to ship it back in and pay for a replacement unit. The problem is it could take several bill cycles to get the credit.
Another Tip - When you call the stores, hit option 2. IF you're lucky, you'll get an instore sales rep. For me, that was very hit-or-miss.

I'm in South Orange County and got mine from my buddy yesterday from a Corporate store. He held onto one of the first ones they got for me. They may have some more, I'm not sure.
swtaltima, call the kalaidescope at&t off of the 5 and crown valley, got mine there last friday...good luck. Chris

Yes I am in prison (aka marriage ).
I live in the DFW area and there is a DC in Fort Worth. Every time I've ordered a phone or sent one back for warranty, it was from/to there. I don't know if I could actually purchase from there, but I've been tempted to stop by and see what happens. What's the worse thing that can happen... they tell me NO.
I got mine on 10/5 at a local store. I'm guessing it was the first one sold in MI, lol
First of all I would like to say wow! What an amazing forum. Best I've seen on anything relating to Winmo.
After seeing so much advancement at Opal development (including the recent rom for 6.5), I began thinking of getting one myself. The cheapest one I found was
$191 at gadget circle
then
$219 at TimTechs
and
$226 at Plemix
Are these deal too good to be true? Anyone have any past experience with these dealers?
Thanks!
Here in Italy I buyed it for € 250,00 about two months ago
man i wish i would have seen this sooner. i just ordered mine, 236 shipped.
oh well, just my luck. but it will be here soon so oh well.
plemix takes 10 dollars off of orders if you use the youtube10 redemtion code.
ive never really looked, or heard of gadget circle (guess i should book mark it). i have heard of timtechs
shipping prices at gadget circle dont seem right, less than 6 dollars? i dont know about that
I ordered my phone from Timtechs. It came to $250 with shipping. I ordered it very early Tuesday morning like 1 am. I got it today at 10am it was the fastest shipping ever. The phone came just as expected the box was a lil' beat up but i think that is fedex and they gave me the CDs and manuals for the touch 3G but that fine really didn't need them anyway. What they don't tell you is that it ships from Hong Kong. I wasn't till i got the fedex tracking did i see where it came from. On their site it said it was based in DE but i got my phone all the same so I don't care. Overall I have been very happy with my experience with them, and I probably would/going to order from them again. And they even gave me a niffy Timtechs sack YAY!
PS I think gadgetcircle and timtechs are the same company. their website look very similar and customer service description are the exact same. and to get a phone shipped to the US I had to order more than $400 on gadgetciricle
Sorry about that skaroger. And thanks for the tip
Good to hear that ginronin. Thanks for the input as well.
its all good man, set to be here tomorrow. and i ordered thursday.
191 is a hell of a price, especially if its true. i wouldnt pass up on that if you were thinking of purchasing one.
i already got a bunch of software ready to install when i get my phone
I can answer my own question... NOT FROM SIMPLYELECTRONICS.NET
Why?
Trying to deal with them has been harder than performing brain surgery in the dark with one hand tied behind my back.
Ordered a white Note on January 25th. They needed extra identity verification (aka the documents they need to defraud me a month from now). I order from B&H all the time with orders exceeding $2,000 without having to verify my identity.
Fine, I played their game, January 28th rolls around and it can't ship till next week because they are backed up. I tell them forget it, to cancel it, and I will get it from someone else who can do business professionally.
Between January 28-30. I have FOUR comfirmation email cancelling my order from TWO diff reps and from the
[email protected]
email. Now today, February 2, I receive an email that my order has shipped and here is your tracking number...
Scammers folks. Terrible customer service. Been sitting on the phone for ONE HOUR trying to talk to someone live....no one will pick up. No one is returning my emails. I just filed for fraud on my credit card, I will refuse the package when it arrives, telling you guys here, and also prepping my attorney for anything.
SimplyElectronics.net is not professional, not prompt, sketchy, involved in fraud throughout Europe, and by far the worst company I've ever dealt with.
I pretty much agree with you.
I ordered an HTC Flyer last August. It took about two weeks before they sent it out. The tracking code was emailed two days after shipping the parcel. And then DHL decided to f*ck up the delivery - returning the parcel to UK. After a month and a dozen emails I finally got my money back.
On November I noticed that they were selling the Flyer very cheap - around 330€ for the 3G model (here in Finland it's 700€) so I decided to order it again. A few days after the payment I was asked for identification which I sent immediately. Two days after this I was informed that ALL of the 3G Flyers were "damaged" during delivery and couldn't be sold. That's bull****. Another few weeks of waiting and I got my money back.
And then the Note. It took a week to send it, even though the web page says it will be shipped in 1-2 days. Eventually got my Note but it's an HK model and there was no pre-filled warranty card included. So no chance of a possible warranty service here then.
Simplyelectronics appears to have little to none physical stock - all they do is hunt cheap items, ship them to the UK and off to customers. If they advertise a price and run into problems and are unable to purchase the item for a cheap price, they come up with an excuse like the damaged boxes with the Flyer. Different camera forums have also reported similar behaviour.
I won't be purchasing anything from Simplyelectronics anymore.
@justus... I just don't understand why you went back to the same company to do a business again after you experienced hick ups with them... But you dealt with them again buying a note from them ?? I JUST CAN'T SEE ANY VALID REASON AS TO WHY YOU KEPT WENT BACK TO THEM AND GO THROUGH THESE HASSLES YOU DESCRIBED... JUST DON'T UNDERSTAND... REALLY, YOU JUST HAVE TO BLAME YOURSELF FOR GOING BACK TO THAT UNPROFESSIONAL COMPANY FOR A BUSINESS...
FOR ME, IF THAT HAPPENED TO ME.... THAT WILL BE END OF DEALING WITH THEM... THATS IT.... THERE ARE HEAPS OF OTHER RETAILERS OUT THERE SPECIALLY IN ENGLAND WHERE I PURCHASE MY GALAXY NOTE AND NOT ONLY AT GOOD PRICE BUT ONLY TOOK 4 DAYS TO SHIP TO AUSTRALIA....
YOU CAN'T GO WRONG WITH ONLY 4 DAYS IN SHIPPING TO AUSTRALIA FROM ENGLAND.. I MEAN DOMESTIC PARCEL TAKES AROUND 4 DAYS...

Because at that time they were one of the very few offering the white Note, and since they ship from UK I was able to avoid VAT.
I got mine from Expansys uk. I did have to verify my address but I haven't ordered from them before. Next day delivery though and I was very pleased.
Sent from my GT-N7000 using xda premium
Also ordered mine from eXpansys. Great support, friendly and quick staff. Also, even though online system told me estimated availability was 2-5 business days, I received my package overnight ... and we are talking international shipping!
I am in no way affiliated with eXpansys, nor do I receive monetary compensation for posting my experiences ;-) Just wanted to do a shout-out for awesome service.
So my AT&T store got their N6's in-stock but as everyone knows they were recalled. They have no ETA on when they will have more in-stock BUT told me they can still order one for me threw something called the fulfillment center? They said it would take 3~5 days for it to ship.
Is this true?
If they can have them shipped in 3 to 5 days, why do they have no ETA on getting them? I'm reluctant to order one and then have the wait turn into weeks or even a couple months.
I'm almost thinking about getting an S5 tonight at Best Buy for the Black Friday $1.00 dollars deal. I REALLY want the N6 but my S3 is broken and I'm without a phone right now. It broke a just under two weeks before the N6 was due out so I didn't file a claim for insurance, just held out for the N6 and that damn recall crap happened.
I keep seeing people say they are just going to go get one from Best Buy but when I call any Best buy in my state they tell me they never got N6's and their system shows they never not N6's yet people keep saying here on XDA well I'm just going to go get one from BB etc.

First, the stores have been getting their replacement N6's for the past 2 days. Some stores got them in Tuesday, the ones near where I live got them Wed. Chances are high that, if your local stores don't have them already, they'll get them Friday.
As for "direct fulfillment" taking 3-5 days, it's kind of a random thing. I ordered one around noon on Tuesday with overnight delivery, and it showed up at my door Wed morning. (However, the AT&T website and the call centers all insisted it wouldn't ship until sometime in December.) I've read of some people taking a day or two before they ship out, and then another 2 days for actual delivery. It also depends on if AT&T has physical stock. (Also, if you order on black Friday, it's possible that no one will ship it until the following week - due to the holiday.)
If you want the nexus 6, I'd call your local corporate stores (more than one) Friday around 1pm to see if they got their daily shipment yet and if any nexus 6's came in.
Interesting that the AT&T store did not have any clue when they might receive a re-stock. I also checked another one that is in my local mall, I do not know if it's a corporate store but they said a few weeks.
I do know that no Best Buys in my state show any N6's have ever come in, one of the guys checked the computer for me.
I will go try the AT&T store tomorrow. I would rather SEE the phone I'm actually getting and not wait for it to just show up on my door step!
Thanks for the update. Side note this delay has allowed for my Digitronics TPU Gen 2 N6 case to be here when I do get my phone. Suppose to be delivered tomorrow!
N6 AT&T
No sign of the N6 in at&t stores or best buy in CA. I've checked every day this week. I will check again today.
I ordered mine before Thanksgiving from AT&T website and it arrived yesterday, haven't had any trouble with mine.

yeah I was able to pick up a Nexus 6 from ATT store yesterday here in Michigan, actually Angola, IN across board from me and I think My local ATT store has couple too and we are actually kind out away from any major city and they had them in stock and I was really surprise they did.
I should have updated the thread. I ended up finding one at one of the Corporate stores here in Grand Rapids, Michigan.
They got them in on Friday.
The At&t store here in Salem, Oregon has them, I just got mine today. The website wouldn't tell me a shipping date so I popped in on the off chance they had them in since the recall. The rep told me they just came in yesterday and were in the back still, then went and got me one. Seems they only have the midnight blue though.
UPDATE.

I finally found the phone after calling around to other at&t stores in nearby towns. Lesson learned; even though one employee from one store says noone has it, keep checking. They don't know and they dont care. They had three of them in stock and not a whole lot of accessories. As i was buying it, a lady asked me what phone it was and picked one up clueless. The employees barely know what they're selling if it's not a Samsung or iphone. The emoloyees had no idea they were the only stire with the phone in stock. So, the stores don't talk to one another and these were corporate stores, noy authorized retailers.
