Yup....very disappointed! AT&T, please surprise us soon.
The 4th!
Expansys UK expect first delivery of units tomorrow. I know it doesn't help you guys directly, but it does show h/w is on the move.

I know . My info from http://www.modaco.com/index.php?showtopic=258736&view=findpost&p=840054 it could be that their initial shipment doesn't cover all pre-orders, so ordering now would result in shipping in 4 days. Dunno!
Gordon
And I haven't heard a single apology. Wasn't it Crunchgear.com that first said the 3rd? I'm never going to that website again!
Another one that may do US shipping and have 700 in stock (according to website)http://www.devicewire.co.uk/HTC-TYTN-II
The same Expansys link now shows an estimate of 1 day.
Just browse mobilefun uk and their tytn II cost £409 while expansys uk had it at £489. An £80 diffenerece is a lot. Does anybody here has an idea what's the difference between the two device? I'm really puzzled...
apology
sorry, just browse again and mobilefun price went up to £469 but i swear it was £409 yesterday
When there's no stock, it's always cheap. I'm picking my one up from Inkino tomorrow. They have a tracking number from distributor... It is in town!!!!!
Hmm. Expansys seems to have moved from 4 days to delivery to available to order. Don't know whether that means that there has been a delay.
If anything shakes loose via AT&T here in the USA I will post... I have some good connections at a corporate store here in Indy and they are watching for me.

subscribed to this thread, sweating in anticipation. I have a corporate person looking out for me, but i think she also is busy with real work
Well they have popped up on ebay already... Just saw 3 of them, http://search.ebay.com/search/search.dll?from=R40&_trksid=m37&satitle=htc+kaiser&category0=
the seller has no feedback, account is new, and he's listed them as bids. Already at some 700 USD with 6 days to go... Damn these people are stupid! Anyone remember the Moto RAZR? yea... 1600 USD on ebay! Some poor dumbasses paid that much... and I see this going just as high, if not higher.
This kaiser anticipation is quite entertaining.
yet its killing me!
clove.co.uk also has them in stock
U.S. Co. claims in stock on the 7th
Don't know much about this outfit, just happened to run across it:

Well guys, I called my local AT&T store yesterday and asked about the 8925. Sales rep told me (after a brief hold time) that it would be released Sept. 11. That's a pretty sensitive day in the US, but the release of this phone would definitely make a dark day brighter!
Of course, she qualified her response with the fact that these dates are subject to change. I was thinking to myself....ohhhhh really?!!
Today at noon UK time I received my TyTN II. Oh wait, let's rephrase that. I was so impatient that I went and picked it up from the local DHL facility ;-)
I had an e-mail from the courier yesterday to say that they'd be delivering mine today. Unfortunately I'm in meetings all day, so there was no way I could be at home to take delivery.
Took all my effort to change the delivery date to tomorrow, so now I'm going to be 24 hours behind everyone else :-(
Happy Kaiser-ing to everyone who got theirs today though. I'm off to play with my dumb old Hermes for the last time....!
"I'm off to play with my dumb old Hermes for the last time....!"
Awee - be nice to the Hermes - it was good to you whilst it lasted

mine will arrive in 10 hours ...
i ordered one from devicewire.com to hongkong day b4 yesterday and just tracked the DHL and called, they will deliver my phone in 10 hours!!!
Would i be right in thinking that if i 'need' this phone ASAP, i'm looking at no less than £450?

Sooooooooooooo tempted to get my credit card and order one now, from cloves.co.uk lol
Any dutchies on this board who got one from within the netherlands already...?
Man, this waiting is driving me crazy...
Since i ordered a UK version with our distributor, they should be able to deliver this week i hope
I'm checking DHL tracking for updates every 5 minutes. I must stop. I have work to do. I'm getting behind. Just checked again, no change. What if it's delayed? Then I may not get it on Friday, will have to wait all weekend. Lord help me. Is it really that much better than the TyTN I anyway?
OMFG I JUST ORDERED ONE
£469 >.< i just wont check my bank account for awhile lol
Yo Wiz
Wiz - Notice you have a pretty powerful arsenal of devices:
HTC X7500 WM6
HTC TyTN II WM6
Treo 750 WM6
Which one have PROs and CONs ?
Does the TyTN II hold its own ?

Where did you order it from in the UK? Seems the cheapest so far....
Feel lucky to of got a few Diamonds from expansys before stock running out on the 10th of June, anybody know where i can get a Diamond in the UK which is not pre order and before end of June?
ebay power seller:
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=130228910138
389 including delivery, a hell of alot cheaper than expansys!
Remember it WILL be an import, and these guys probably won't handle shipping it to HK for you, like expansys say they will. (assuming HTC don't do worldwide waranty).
I just ordered one. These guys are pretty well known and have been around forever. Hopefully will be here tommorow
How annoying of TotalPDA! I've also chickened out and gone for the ebay route (hope it actually comes, I've had problems with ebay in the past S), even tho it's an import it's still the cheapest out there and you all know we'll end up with a custom rom anyway P
If it does come I'll let you all know.... this guy's gonna love us if he's genuine!
I know people who've used these guys before, so i'm prett confident it'll come. I'll also let you know when mine arives

Can you let us all know how much RAM your device has. My understanding is that the official UK version is 192 MB and any import available now is only 128 MB.
thanks, cojo
I have import from HK - ebay - 192 MB RAM

128MB is only on the pre-release versions. All diamonds brought legally, no matter where you get it, will have 192MB (bear in mind 64Mb is used for the OS). The main difference is which bands it will work on as the US have different operating bands for GSM and UMTS than Europe/Asia

As said above, only the pre release ones had 128mb. I think this 'rumour' about imports came from one or two posts (maybe the same guy) where the user was looking at the user ram total and available. This doesnt take into account the ram the ROM uses. If you search for the posts you'll see that a few posts later its clarified, but by then its too late - people are posting everywhere its 128mb already!

i'm confused. It seems you are receiving dispatched mails within a day or two of placing the order, with express shipping. I too chose express shipping when I ordered yesterday morning and I received this email from them this morning saying...
"Your item is due for dispatch.Sorry for keep you waiting,but as per our listing,for all the high value item,we need 5 working days to arrange delivery upon receive payment.You will get the tracking number after delivery,thanks!"
This suggests that they aren't going to dispatch it for another FOUR days despite having my money and me meeting all their criteria for express delivery. This is a little worrying. If they have stock why wait 5 days before sending it? I smell something fishy, do you think they are importing on order?
cojones said:

You might be right. I checked with the friends who said they have used these guys before...
They ship anytime between 0 and 5 days with the normal shipping, they say its an anti fraud measure - probably to make sure your not ordering to some empty house and breaking in on the next day to get it
Thats plausable, but i think its probably to get you to pay the extra 10 quid for express, or to allow them to get stock (import).
I didnt pick the express option thinking it would be 1 to 3 days max. Mine still hasnt shipped yet
I'm confident talking to my friends you'll get the phone - but i think your right, they are importing to order with a small buffer which has probably run out.
BTW has anyone received their phone from these guys yet? Can you check the rom version please?
Well i decided to buy one, just placed a pre-order with TotalPda as they seem to be the cheapest for uk spec models...£445 with del included. Told me that i should have the phone by the 24th of this month.
Not really sure if i will keep it but they did say i could return it if im not happy so ill have a play for a few days before making up my mind on whether to keep it or not.
I do hope that i fall in love with it or else ill be waiting for the Sony Xperia X1.
update
Blimey, we're all so eager, us gadget freaks aren't we...seems I just didn't have the patience, got this earlier...
"Hi,

I got the reference number, but what good is it to me if it isn't valid until after delivery?!!
Also, RM do provide tracking numbers as standard with special delivery, which next day is so I'm still confused!!!

Well i was under the impression that it was going to be Sept but now they arent so sure..some are saying Jan/Feb 2009 which if they wait that long then its game over for Sony Ericsson...i really do hope its Sept when its released.
In the meantime ill wait for the Diamond and see how i get on with it...i have a feeling from what i have been reading here and other forums...that ill end up sending it back for a refund and wait for the X1. But im hoping the UK spec of the Diamond will be better than the grey imports that alot of people have...its been delayed due to HTC fixing some software issues or so i have heard.
Been monitoring and just (in the last hour) seen Play.com change their date from 13/06 to 27/06, so going to have to wait another two weeks for my order - damn.
Still £429 inc. VAT and delivery though
Has anyone ordered a Diamond from these people? If so did you receive it ok.
I ordered mine on Tuesday at 3pm with express delivery. I received my dispatch notice and a recorded delivery tracking number on Wednesday morning. As I normally get 1st Class post the day after I was expecting it to arrive Thursday but it hasn't, neither did it arrive today. I gather as it's in the post system it's a royal mail delay but I've never had a problem before. (Also Royal Mail are the most unhelpful people around...long story)

Have you emailed the seller??. I bought a phone off him earlier this yr, a blackberry 8310 curve for my bro in Canada and it took him nearly a week or so to post it...wasnt impressed with his service and gave him neutral feedback. Also have you not checked the royalmail website for the tracking info??. Although that wont be of any use as its not updated till the parcel is delivered.
But i would email the seller and ask him what exactly is going on??.

Tracking system just says the item has not been delivered. All the RM tracking can tell you is when it was delivered so you dont know at what stage it is, just that it's somewhere but not delivered....handy I know. It is a valid tracking number tho as I tried changing a digit and it said it was invalid.

Play.com will have UK version on 19th (3 days)
Insight will have UK version on 18th (2 days)
Inkino/htcdirect.co.uk will have UK version on 17th (1 day)
So i've requested a full refund. I should have just waited

Hmmm interesting, i just rung up totalpda and they still say its the 24th they will have stock in. Rung up Inkino and they are saying that this thurs or fri they should have stock in but their allocation has sold out plus they are selling them at £470 with delivery. Insight havent a clue to be honest, although their website says they 50 coming in...they are all sold out but also said stock is due in end of week. When i asked about their refund/return policy..they said you can return it but will be charged a restocking fee of 20%. Spoke to play.com and they are expecting stock in on 19th so have placed an order with them as they are cheapest at the moment. Still have my pre-order with totalpda as well as i will wait and see what happens with play.com...whether they deliver on the 19th or not.
Look on the bright side though, at least you will have a proper uk spec model rather than an imported one ie grey.
Yeah, actually what changed my mind was the issues people are having.
There seems to be a distinct difference in issues between people with the older 1.34 rom and 1.35 rom. So I'm hoping the UK rom will be even better. We don't really know how long it will take for the hard SPL to work on the new diamonds, and when HTC will release an update for the HK version.
I think at this rate it'll be out on T-Mobile by the time i get hold of one

Well i am hoping that the uk spec Diamond i get wont have these issues that people seem to be having with the grey imports. Still not 100% sure if ill keep it but ill have a few days playing with it and see how i get on with it. If i dont then ill just wait for the Sony Xperia X1 which is due out Sept or Oct according to the guy at Inkino. I would wait for tmobile but my contract doesnt renew till next yr so i might end up getting the Touch pro when my contract comes up for renewal.

Anyone order from expansys usa? I understand that I can totally be impatient whatever but on their website it says if I order before 3pm I can have my device here in 2 days (paid extra for the 2 day shipping).
So I ordered it Sunday night so they would have plenty of time to process my order and get it out today by 3 but its only like 2 hours left and its still not processed or my card charged.
Am I asking too much to be able to ship a phone out in less then 6 hours? I evene emailed them hours ago that if anything was wrong or had any questions that would slow the process down to get a hold of me.
My time is running out to get this shipped out today...Should I just cancel and order from Negri or something?
I ordered mine from Expansys Usa on a Wednesday and it was shipped out the same day, about two hours later, and delivered on Friday. Free shipping too. They may not process any orders that come in over the weekend until Monday, so they are probably playing catch up. But if you paid extra for next day delivery, your order should take precedence.
Oh, by the way, if they say to get your order in by 3PM in order to guarantee same day shipping, it does not necessarily mean that they will ship at 3PM. This is just the cutoff time for orders to be received, but they can still be processed after this time for same day shipping. At least that is how my company works.
I don't know how this store gets good reviews..They haven't replied to any of my emails today and now I've been on hold for over 10min to talk to someone..
Its 4:30 and they still havent processed my order..
I will never buy from this company again..It shouldnt take more then a full day to process a phone order.
I had a similar issue with these guys. They didn't respond to my e-mails either, so I ended up cancelling, FWIW.

I would have cancelled but I'm at work and had to hang up after 20min on hold...At this point I don't even want them to have my money but I can't stay on hold to cancel..
I won't even bother emailing them cause apparently they don't bother to reply after a purchase.
