Anyone having issues finding the HD7? (London)

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.

Anyone bought G-note from ebay?

I have yet to see someone claim to have bought e-note from ebay? I see prices as low as $670 dollars (US) including shipping yet no one has reported to have bought one from them. what is the risk involved that people are still paying $740 from other places and no one seems to be taking advantage of new g-notes from ebay at cheaper prices?

I think its fear + ignorance which stops more people getting them from ebay. These things are made pretty close to Hong Kong, so its not suprising how cheap they are buying them from there through ebay. ebay used to be fairly shady too, and I think a lot of people still hold the fear of splashing $700 into a site which they may feel unsure about. However, as many of us know these days, ebay + paypal combined is an insanely safe shopping source. Not only is your sale fully ensured, but the amount of turnover most of these stores do, and the ability to access other shopper's comments does make it a really valuable source.
I'll be getting my note from ebay sometime next week (when the pay comes through), but have previously bought my SGS 1, and asus transformer from there, with NO problems, extremely quick shipping, and hundreds of dollars saved. I always recomend it

thanks for the vote of confidence. I am also thinking about getting my g-note next week through ebay.

Just read through the sellers past feedback. You should quickly see if the seller is reliable. Also read carefully through the description to see if it is new/used/damaged or if the title is wrong and they they are selling a 600$ notebook with a photo of a galaxy on it rather than a phone.
I got mine from eBay.

I bought mine from Ebay I paid 720 for it including shipping that was free. That's 2 Weeks ago prices were much higher.
It was a reputable seller and didn't have any issue the phone is running great

I went through 3 SGN's so far.. One from Amazon.de, One from Ebay.de and one from my Country which was the most expensive one but was worth the local warranty reassurance since I'm keeping this one. Received it today.
The second one from Ebay was a German model, no problems, sold it like I did with the first one from Amazon after I played around abit with it.
Anyway ALWAYS read the FEEDBACK! Even if it's a TOP Rated it means NOTHING! It might be a hacked account or a bad TopRated. Better safe than sorry.
Example: Someone is selling some SGN's in a very attractive price. Check the feedback if another person bought and received a Note from the Seller already. If the listing just came up then check it's feedback for some expensive stuff and not 2-3euros worth of items.
If the Seller has low feedback(<30-50) but it's 100% positive and every buyer is happy with him, then sent him a message first and see. He might be just a regular guy selling a Note.
Yes Ebay and Paypal did help me a couple times and they were very helpful, but Scammers will always be around.

Got mine on ebay for $760 about 3 weeks ago when they first came out. It arrived in a few days without any problem. It turn out to be a Polish model with a with a Polish provider branding.
Just rooted & loaded a custom ROM & now all OK.
I love this phone. Absolutely awesome screen.

Got mine from a Hong Kong ebayer with no problem.

[Q] Where to NOT buy white Note?

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.

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.

Buying an N6 from AT&T Corporate store. Shippment times, is this true?

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.

[Q] Need advice/help on where to buy the watch

Hey everyone,
I am looking for a trusted way to buy the watch (LG G Watch R) from either USA or UK, then i'll ship it to myself here at Egypt through a service called shopandship.
Current options:
-Google Store: it should be selling at $250 which is very nice, very cheap, and of course most trusted source, trouble is, it has been out of stock for more than 2 weeks !! So, any ideas as of when should it be available again? Any guesses? Will it be sold for the same price or go back to $299? or are they going to stop selling completely?
-Amazon: The official one is sold for $350 which is too much !! but trusted
Another version (international version no warranty) is sold for $270, cheap yes, trusted NO
-Expansys UK: selling it for $260, cheap yes, trusted may be, i read many negative reviews about expansys unfortunately. (expansys is selling it that low now as it is a today only deal and actually only 26 pieces are in stock, so quick help/advice is much appreciated)
So, any other options? it would be great if i can buy it for no more than $280 and from a trusted source.
Note: i will ship to US or UK address so if you have an option to buy from whether shipping only to US or only to UK, i can handle that, i just need relatively not expensive seller and trusted as i can't ship the watch back if it has issues unfortunately :/

Not sure if Amazon Italy can ship to uk, but in case they do you could get it from them: it goes for 227€ at the moment (sold and shipped by Amazon of course), which in US$ should be around 250

i think shopandship can ship from milan/Italy
thank you very much!
I hope the watch comes in English not italian

you should be able to select the language during setup...

Just picked mine up TODAY at AT&T for 99$. They have a 200$ off web deal which the stores are honoring. Stock is low, so find your nearest if you're in need asap.

I check AT&T website almost daily but they are always out of stock, however i think being in Egypt makes it impossible to find a store near to me
Thanks though!
