O2 are so bad at doing this. They always seem to push the phones back. Every XDA I have wanted seems to keep on getting pushed back.
I have a friend who works for O2 and he said he went into a meeting last week and was told they needed a new software revision for the phone before it was launched, and this usually takes a month.
If I call up O2 though they still say March 26th, but he (my friend) says that i should take a bet on it with them because he is sure it won’t.
Does anyone know any differently?
i would like to know the same. the zinc has disapeared from the 'Coming Soon' section on the O2 site.

Well 26th March has just gone and no sign of it yet. I hope you made a large bet!
Anyone got any updates on availability?
ill look on the internal Excel spread of phone we are due soon when im next in, as a rule of thumb I always tell people, this is when it is supposed to be arriving and show them the sheet, then say, push that date back by about 2-3 weeks and it should be with us by then.
reading on another thread in here, it seems people are being told they have dropped the zinc and are going to replace it with the Trion (HTC Hermes) due the 16th of April !?!?

Yep looks the trion is on its way, no more zinc.
Hi all,
Release date for the HD2 on O2 was yesterday, I have been trying my utmost to get hold of one of these. Does anyone know any insider information?
I seem to be getting different info from different O2 reps.
I WANT ONE NOW!
Nobody knows - but the best guess at the moment is next week at the earliest. O2 just can't seem to answer a straight question different representatives giving different answers. It could come out this afternoon but nobody knows
looks like its been delayed until november now

based on what?
Gonna phone them again. They are all saying its due this week but can't tell me when. They say only once it shows on the system can they price it etc.
Next rep has said they are conducting tests on it and it will be released on the 26th November. I am so bloody impatient!

Getting around all the hype, I don't think the Palm Pre has been a fantastic seller for them and I think if the HD2 drops now it will leave them with a lot of unsold Pre's.... so they are holding it back for the that reason (pure guesswork on my part).

The HD2 was supposed to be "in the final stages of acceptance testing" last week.

How they expected the Pre to sell as well as their marketing implies that they expected it to, is a mystery to me - the Pre offers very little new or exciting, with the OS being the only real exception (and I've heard a wide range of opinions on the OS). The problem is, if they hold back the HD2, they're going to end up not selling many of those as most people who want one will have moved to a different network or got one unlocked (O2 is one of the worse networks now IMHO - presumably they spent all of their money on iPhone exclusivity and subsidisation rather than improving their network and offering good deals).
Why doesn't the BBC interview O2 about the HD2 instead of wasting time interviewing them about the Pre?
I agree

I think you might jus be right on that one my friend hopefully that wil teach them next time not be greedy and try to stock every handset under the sun
Yes, been pushed back to 3rd week November. However none of the reps I have spoken to are absolutely sure when it will be out, nor what the final pricing structure will be.
I am assuming they will definitely be out by December to catch the Xmas traffic.
WB
Lol,
they will be selling it on estonia at late october on early november.
T-mobile is also selling them on 6 Nov according to them. I guess O2 thinks they are special and people will wait for them
Keep an eye on this thread guys.
Ok, WHOS calling o2 everyday (Multiple times) like me?

How do you know? One of the early excuses for an ambiguous date was that O2 didn't want the HD2 to hurt Pre sales. However, there's clearly a lot more demand for the HD2 and a lot less demand for the Pre than they expected, so O2 might decide to fast-track the HD2.
Latest from o2;
I called customer services and spoke to a guy who said they will definitely be getting stock over the weekend and it will definitely be on sale on the 26th October. I have now spoken to quite a few o2 reps and none have sounded as positive as this one. He didn't even have to go and ask a supervisor/manager/buyer........
We shall see!

Thing is, they were originally planning to launch the HD2 on 12th October, so that blows your theory out of the water. See here:
http://www.redmondpie.com/o2-uk-launching-htc-hd2-on-october-12-lkj621/
and various other news reports.

Of course he didn't have to ask a supervisor. He was just telling you what you wanted to hear so he could get you off the line and move on to the next customer with a genuine need of assistance.
I'm not trying to be nasty, but there's no way the HD2 will be on sale from O2 on Monday, when none of the e-tailers are getting it until 11th November at the earliest. So for the next month or so, why don't you be patient, leave the poor call centre staff alone and get on with enjoying your life. It's only a phone.
Anyone has more news on the release dates and availability in US soil?
This thread is intended to gather all that information, the different available version at launch and prices
so far ive heard mid/late april and also may 7 which i thought was canadian release date, which could always be tied in with US release,
either way....hopefully this thread can help get a better idea of the US release
I guess we will probably get it the week after singapore release.

I am surprised they don't have U.S. preorders out yet, which makes me think that it is coming at a later date
But who knows
http://www.tomshardware.com/news/Tegra-2-EeePad-Transformer-Price-Release-Launch,12494.html
The release for this baby is 'early April' according to Asus, so we won’t have to wait long to find out the official pricing (considering April is, you know, here).

Darn, I got excited when I read the thread title.
i've waited too long the fever is cooling down.
they are out of supplies in taiwan, and due to japan earthquake, parts were delayed. i'd be surprised if they'll have enough to display in every bestbuy store by end of month.
I saw dates of April 19 being mentioned in various places, but more likely in other forums. None of the etailers like amazon have anything on it either, although newegg lists the 32GB version but no release date or price. Japan situation is really bad though so that could be reason of no word from asus. If there really is a big delay and it goes into May I might just wait and see what the samsung 10.1 situation is as thats meant to be released June 6 or 9.
OMG I desperately want this tablet. At first I was all for the Xoom, but my interest in this tablet has grown exponentially daily! I just hope that it's out in bestbuy by my birthday, April 23rd!!

Well i hope the 19th is accurate because my birthday is on the 18! easy way to justify the purchase! but given we're a week away with no word, can only hope now.
mine's 17th
we should have a bday party together, stare at the pictures of transformer, and tears running down the face
Amazon UK are now saying preorders will be dispatched on the 1st of June. That could mean the US release is pushed back at least that far.
I really hope it goes up for sell sometime in April. Not sure I can wait much longer....

Cross your fingers - stranger things have happened! (Oh, and don't forget to make a wish for the Transformer to be released when/if you blow out your candles on your birthday cake (I'll do the same!) Hahaha)

How could that be? Didn't the Transformer go on sale very recently in the UK? So, couldn't someone in the UK just walk into a retail store as we would in the US and pick one up - or is it really that backed up/not available in stores?
Anyone working for bestbuy, or with friends working there or friends of friends or ... that can spill some details?
We promise we won't say anything and we'll keep this just among us...
i envy you guys...i was waiting for tmo's gslate until i saw the transformer..but my needs changed and i'm dropping my gal tab since i picked up the asus eee slate ep121....and although i will miss android...i cant say enough good things about this slate

Amazon always tends to play it safe to try and avoid extra calls etc. However, as soon as they have the stock available they will ship it out ASAP and I am sure that will not be June.
Now I just wish we would get a US release date!
Here they talk about the 18th, but I don't know how reliable this source is:
http://www.pdfdevices.com/asus-eee-pad-transformer-hacked-even-before-the-us-release/
I hate to say this but, if it was anytime in April, I would think that we would be able to pre-order.
At this point I may be moving forward with the Iconia....
i was debating on the acer jsut because the US hasn't even heard a thing about a release date, but i don't know if i can push myself to do that lol
ill probably end up waiting, but it would be nice if we would hear ANYTHING confirming any release date in the states
I pre-ordered my HTC U11 a few days ago directly from HTC Netherlands.
On the my order site the release date says 31 of December 2017.
By my knowledge the actual release date is 01 of june.
Any Dutchies also seeing what im seeing?

I'm sure thats a place holder date. Companies usually use the last day of the year as a place holder.
Amazon is saying June 9th and HTC reps are saying Mid June.

Where we can buy this amazing phone, except Asus eshop? I live in Europe and I am seriously interested.. Not all European countries have Asus eshop.
I live in the US and it's shown on the Asus website but not available for purchase yet. Anyone have inside info on when it's released in USA?
I also came here for the same question
I remember reading that for the US it'll be out this Summer. A month away yes, but I feel they kinda always had late releases for this region.

4pda.ru/forum/index.php?showtopic=951627&view=findpost&p=85535829
He ordered from Netherlands Asus store.
P.S. sorry for the link, I can't use normal link, until I will posted 10 posts
gonna be this or ONePlus 7 for me. Sucks that they aren't giving a release date, late release is gonna drive people away.

Could just buy it from Gearbest, for a small premium. They have the version C (best for US networks).
Even the few places that are selling it, don't have the Silver version, which I'm waiting for. Nobody on YouTube seems to have it either.

When I tried to preorder it said it'd ship 'The week of July 9th' on the UK store.
EDIT: It says July 9th 2018 which is just a placeholder date. Support said to check back at the end of today (24th May)
Link? I only see the global version at Gearbest.

It was previously listed as VC. Now says global and doesn't specify what that is. But I highly doubt it's VA (what's in Europe), since Gearbest stuff all comes from the Far East.
Why buy an EU or UK phone when it can't be that far off from getting a US release? Patience (says the person with very little of it).
EDIT: First post on the forum and I screwed up. I should have read that there are only A, B, and C versions to match to. Heh.
I think Amazon is official Asus retailer but I can't find Zenfone 6 as preorder in their list yet.
Pre-order starts today.

Just chatted to Asus customer support. Date of 9 july isn't right - they will know today when stock is arriving and will be updating shipping date at some point today, with preorders also updating and going out as soon as stock arrives. Ordered mine yesterday and very much hope (and expect) it will be in my hands before July.
