A guy on AT&T forums just posted this:
"Guys,
Just kick up your feet and don't worry about the phone for now. It will eventually be at your local stores for you to enjoy, and it will be so worth the wait.
Guys.. Just think Thanksgiving. VERY close to Thanksgiving. I'll leave it at that.
Take it or leave it."

ya know, I think I am gonna stick with the 11/11 date that my wife told me about last week.
..so that's my bet... 5 pesos on 11/11

My local store told me less then a week. ;\

I was just told they were expecting it very, very soon. In a matter of days.

I don't believe we will see it until the week of the 24th as well. No stores have gotten any preliminary info and that is a pretty telling sign right there.
I wonder if the Fuze will be a part of any black friday deals. I would doubt it if just released that week. I would like to see it more in the $250 range because I don't think it is worth $350 and waiting 10 weeks for the 50 rebate, but I will probably ending up spending it anyway and dumping the Tilt on Ebay.

well given how they are releasing phones the epix came out like two weeks or a week ago bold came out today so i give the fuze another week or two it's definately coming out in november though

youngbusiness19 on the AT&T forums reported that he was able to get one from a store in Ohio.
Can anyone else confirm that they've obtained one?

This one doesn't have a date in the title, so it won't go obsolete regardless of how long AT&T waits to intro the phone.

yeah, so it will still be vaild for easter

I just called a local store in Indy and was told "We don't know when it'll be in. It's been delayed I think. I'm the manager and I would know!"
If he's the manager and "would know," he should be able to tell me and not just "think."

A little different answer
Not really important but... I called a major store in Denver. Lady has known of it some time as her job is dealing with new releases. She said that they were supposed to have displays up already but the materials are not in so they are behind schedule. She expects it any day. Also a sales person is getting trained on it tomorrow and hopes to know more then. Only significant thing is that they knew of it and were supposed to have displays up by now.

this sucks. im pretty sure black friday week is right. they dont want to have to put it on discount probably
guy at my local store who has been letting me know just said thats when they will get it

I just called a local store in Queens for the billionth time today and they don't know when its coming but it will be coming sometime in the future.

If I worked at an AT&T store I'd just answer the phone with "We don't have the Fuze, if you're from XDA please leave me alone, is there anything else I can help you with today?"
It seems everyone on here is calling every store within 20 miles of them.

im calling within 50 cause theres so few around here

Employees in Huntington Beach, CA store said next week.

I still say it has to be sooner than 11/25 because that is when the ATT rebate ends. And why would they include the Fuze in it if the phone isn't even going to be released by then. So I say it can't be Black Friday (11/28).

I was told next week... though previously told today... as far as black Friday and not wanting to discount it, well... they're in control... they can release it tomorrow and that doesn't mean they have to discount it. So, I don't see any reason they'd have to wait until then.

[INFO] Vodafone UK Orders

I've just received an email to tell me the phone is out of stock and delivery will be 2-4 weeks!

I think that seems to be a stock mail that goes out after a pre-order,
i had the same, they did the same thing with the launch of the original nexus.
i called Vodafone to make sure that was the case and was assured that it was....still, you never know, the woman may have been lying to get me off the phone!
im gonna expect mine on the 19th but i wont be holding my breath just in case

I sent them an e-mail about not receiving my credit check response and they replied saying it was not in stock but the credit check was fine.
As long as i have it by Thursday i'll be happy.

I've had a reply back from VodafoneUK on Twitter..
We haven't been made aware of any stock delays. If there is any further info on this i'll be sure to let you know ^SM

I was hoping it was just an automated response as technically they don't have any in stock!

Yeah when I ordered mine they told me it would basically go straight out as it arrived to them so they will be 'out of stock' for a while, or at least until preorders are filled.

Yes, I got the "2-4 weeks" e-mail too but assumed it's just a generic e-mail.
When I spoke to Vodafone yesterday before placing my order, I asked if they had sold out of all their initial pre-order allocation. They said no, and that I would definitely get my phone on the 19th May.

My desire was out of stock when I pre ordered. Had to wait 2wks. Hope u guys get yours so u can tell us what you think.

I just sent a tweet to Vodafone uk asking if the Sensation was still on schedule for the 19th. They replied saying, 'yes, you will receive a dispatch email soon ^ER'. Sounds promising.

No, i shall hopefully be burning to the store on Thursday

Am collecting from store too. Hopefully this week

Peeps who ordered online usually get screwed when it comes to delivery time as it's like a different sales division. Typically online team have so many phones to sell, but the telephone team also get so many phones to sell and the high street shops have so many. They WON'T dip into one another stock levels.
I got stung when pre-ordering the HD2 early on, only to find, people ringing customer services on the day of release were receiving their phone the very next day. Infuriated, I cancelled my online order, as I got a sorry we are out of stock email. And re-ordered by telephone. Was a bit of a ball-ache doing this on the phone, as you had to speak to different sales teams on the phone.
My advice is to keep ringing the telephone team and when they say they have stock, get it ordered.

I'm going after work on Thursday, hopefully make it before it closes at 17:30!

I managed to pre-order mine over the phone, only had the confirmation to say that my order had been processed! Hoping to get the dispatch email tomorrow! Last exam tomorrow, so I can play with my new toy on Thursday

Chuffed for ya mate, let us all know how good it is. I've decided to wait until after my honeymoon to get one in mid june. Nothing like being stuck outside the country to stop any impulse buying... agony lol

No, getting mine from shop too.
I thought I would have had an email by now as I thought it was going to take a day or 2 from email to me getting hold of it...and they said I would get it *by* the 19th

I think I'm going to wait until it's out in the Netherlands to see if the rumour of 16GB internal memory is correct. I'm highly sceptical but you never know.

AT&T E-mail Regarding Delivery....

Just received an interesting e-mail that seems to hint that my Premier order won't be delivered until AFTER May 6......
http://oi46.tinypic.com/bdv639.jpg
Anyone know if the Lumia or any past Sunday launch phones had a similar e-mail but still received their orders early?

I received the same exact email. My impatience is strong today...

It's called Under Promise and Over Deliver. This happened to me when I preordered my Galaxy Note.

just got the email as well fingers still crossed for the 4th

It's a good way for ATT to receive some "positive attention". To be fair, when you purchased the phone, it even said the shipment date is may 2nd.

I received the same email. I better be receiving it on Friday.

Its impossible for Sunday delivery. So it's Friday or Saturday!

For what its worth the premier rep that I talked to said the phone would be delivered on friday, she even gave me a cut off date in which to preorder by to have it by friday.

Well according to the email it's not so obvious that they will ship it before.
It says as early as May 6th aka not before that.

I got the same email above, and I read "as early as may 6th" meaning I won't see it before May 6th. There is a whole different context when compared to "on or before may 6th"

UK Pre-orders. Shipped? Received?

Has anyone in the UK received their pre-order today?
Waiting on mine, but I'm worried that the status on the Microsoft webstore hasn't budged and it still says "Pre-Order 02/11/2012" despite me getting an email saying that I should still receive my tablet on the 26th. I also called the number for the Microsoft store today and although they couldn't not give me a tracking number, they said I would receive it today.
I'd hate to wait in all day for something that isn't go to arrive!

When did you order? Mine was ordered on the 17th with a delivery date of the 26th.
There won't be anyone at home at all on the 2nd, so I shall be peeved if the delivery date has shifted given that they emailed me to say it would be delayed until the 2nd, and then emailed again to say that the earlier email was a mistake and my original delivery date still stood.
I'm not at all hopeful it will arrive today, but the woman I spoke to this morning (after being on hold for nearly 30 minutes!) was adamant that I would. The very fact that I've not seen a single post from someone in the UK who has received their Surface makes me very sceptical though.
Thanks,
Dave

I have booked later than u but the email saying it will be pushback on the 2nd that was sent by mistake make me feel it wasn't a mistake.
I have a feeling the customer service has no control of when it is shipped or what is happening.
2 days ago, I was trying to cancel my surface (change of heart) I rang and they told me that it was in the warehouse in process of shipping so it couldn't get cancelled.
2 days later they told me it will be ship next week. (didn't ask for cancellation this time)
I hope it can arrive before the 2nd for you, I am ok to wait until next week.
It will also give me the time to see the nexus 10 and maybe change my mind again

If it's any consolation, things aren't better in Germany. Ordered mine on the 17th and my order sill states that it will be delivered until October 26th, but as of now, no Surface has arrived. I also have not seen any reports that anyone in Germany has received it...

It's looking increasingly like MS missed the boat on the Surface launch in Europe (at the very least).
There's still time of course, the day isn't over yet, but given how long they've had to get this right it would be a very poor showing if they fail to get it out of the door.

Dave

lol, you all sound like kids who don't want to accept the reality lol.
guys/girls uk/germany the surface will not arrive today ! like suddenly 10000 surface being delivered at 4pm lol.
we'll play with our new toy next week, less than 7 sleeps to go...

Now it gets wild (at least in Germany): The German tech site Winfuture reports that some orders have been canceled by the Microsoft store, because of technical failures... The support says that those with canceled orders should place new orders, but then they will face the current 3 week delay. There is also a report of a customer whose order has been canceled.
Either Microsoft was overwhelmed by orders or they have a serious problem with the store and/or the delivery process...

Not at all - I've no problem accepting reality, but I've also every right to be pissed off when I've arranged to be at home to receive something that was supposed to be delivered today, having also been told this morning by customer services that I should expect delivery today.
Being pissed off won't change anything of course, but given how MS first sent out an email saying orders would be delayed, and then retracted that email, it shows a deep lack of respect for their customers to delay again without sending out some sort of communication.

I'm absolutely appalled and devastated about the complete lack of support for UK surface customers.
I pre-ordered mine as soon as I possibly could, I phone up yesterday because I received an email saying that my pre-order had been cancelled. I've been basically told that it was a computer system error (this isn't encouraging) and that it has happened with a few people. I was basically given the options of re-ordering, which can now take a month for delivery, or "drop into my local Microsoft store". The customer service representative didn't even take time to consider that Microsoft is so narrow minded that they only have Microsoft stores in America, but hey, what's an 8 hour plane trip just to get my surface tablet on time?
To add insult to injury, I asked them to reorder, and no matter which card I try to use, it just throws me and the customer support team error after error, it's almost as if my account has been blocked! They only offered to email the error to their teach support team (I haven't heard anything back yet).
Finally I had a great surprise to find that, despite the fact that my order is cancelled, Microsoft haven't released their greed grasp on the money in my account, so I have £500 effectively missing from my account because of Microsofts 'computer system error'.
I've gotten round the re-ordering problem by using a different Live ID, but I almost feel cheated by Microsoft, if I hadn't been waiting so long for this I would have just gone for an iPad (which I can guarantee would have arrived on time) or one of the alternative windows 8 RT tablets.
If my money hasn't been released on Monday I think i'll have to just contact my solicitor/trading standards, as there is no reason why Microsoft should have my money since it was cancelled before it was charged.
It's times like this why I can understand why we have so many apple fanboys, yes they are over-priced, yes they are borderline evil, but they never basically say 'screw you because your not in america'.

After my laptop finally sold on eBay yesterday I went ahead and bought a Surface.
So my order date is 27/10, Had to buy the more expensive 64gb version as the store claimed there was a 3 week wait for both 32gb versions.
My status is Order in Process, there's no estimated delivery date or anything like that, I'm guessing because it was technically not a preorder.
Hoping it gets shipped out tomorrow, for Tuesday, but I'm guessing that's a bit optimistic.

I've not ordered one yet but was planning to go have a look at the Experience Centre (read RoadShow) that was planned for Clapham London this coming weekend. Looking at Microsofts website this morning I see they've taken all the UK experience centres off the list so I reckon that no stock is in the country yet:

Some good news for those of us in the UK! Despite me calling this morning querying why my 'Order in Progress' had now vanished(!) from the MS Store website, and being told that it was there and will be dispatched 'soon' - my Surface arrived minutes later! It must have been dispatched on Friday. The accessories I ordered haven't come, so I guess they'll follow - I can wait though. I've only had a few hours with it, as I'm also trying to work, but it seems great. Looking forward to someone on here hacking the secure boot/digital certificate thing so we can run ARM compiled desktop apps
Hope you all get yours soon! :good:

Question Status for Everyone who Ordered/Received their device

I am not complaining in this post, I just wanted to see how everyone else was doing in getting their phone.
I ordered my phone on PDA Plaza.
I pre-ordered well before the Release Date (Jan 18.)
On the Product Page, it says "Ships within 10-15 business days after purchase". It has now passed 15 days.
I contacted support and waiting a response.
It has been almost a Month since i pre-ordered, and not a single email from PDA Plaza to update me on anything, even if its delayed.
I am starting to think perhaps a Refund is in order, and maybe look somewhere else.
If you've received your device, where are you Located? where did you Order from?
thanks

That's just bad customer service! Hate that. Hate giving my money to companies like this. Keep us updated

Hello,
I just want to ask how's everyone's order doing? I have placed an order on PDA plaza last January 28 and have yet to receive a tracking number for the order. I am in contact with customer service via email but they just keep promising that they expect to receive and ship the order after every week with different reasons; i.e. Chipset Shortages, Ukraine-Russian war (really?). At this point im beginning to tire in waiting and getting more anxious that i may have been scammed.
Anyone here who can share their experience with them?
Thanks.

Just placed my order today with PDAPlaza, product description said Ships within 20-25 business days after purchase, hoping to get it by this date, will keep everyone posted.

Could not speak more highly of Trinity: https://trinityelectronic.boutir.com/ Ordered, shipped and received in 7 days.

So, it is now almost 28 business days and no news. PDAPlaza mentioned that they should get it by tomorrow and will ship the same day, I don't think so. Placed order cancellation request.
