I've just got off the phone from O2 after ordering my XDA Orbit 2 on their new tariff. I am a little sceptical however. I called them yesterday and they said that the phone was released today, the guy I spoke to was adamant about this. So I called up this morning and spoke to a nice lady. She told me that the screen said the phone was not released until the end of February but thought that was wrong and was sure it was today and went to check with someone.
She came back and told me it was available and the original Orbit was not being sold and all orders would be dispatched as the Orbit 2. I was given a choice of whether I wanted it with or without co-pilot, I went without and was told the cost was £19.99 on an Online 35 18 month contract or free with the Online 45 18 month contract. Still dubious whether I would get the original Orbit, she said she's go and check with a manager and call me back. Got a call back 5 minutes later to confirm it will definitely be the Orbit 2 so I placed my order.
Still wonder which I'll get, anyone else placed an order?
ohh a big mistake.....!!!!
I just got told to call back on Monday.
Apparently Mine's on its way too.
I made sure they said it was the Orbit 2, so should be with me on Monday/Tuesday!

O2 Upgrades... 08706003009 Option2, Option2, Option2.
Ive just been told its out on the 31st February . Seems as though no-one really knows whats going on but thats just ridiculous. at least pick a date that exhists
woohoo!
Just ordered mine (by dialing 202 on my existing o2 phone) - will be delivered by DHL in 1-2 working days (so Monday or Tuesday next week)
I triple checked it was the Orbit 2 (rather than Orbit 1)
Just for info the deal I managed to get was:
Free phone
18 month contract
600 x-network minutes
500 texts
unlimited internet
without the satnav software (not sure how much extra that would have been)
£25/month (is the £35 tariff but went through the retentions team who knocked it down).
this is the best by far... does it mean, we newer gona get it?!
wow
how did you manage that?!
25/month with the new tariff??
sounds amazing

Phoned up a few weeks ago asking for a PAC code. They offered me £15 off my current tariff (£35) if I also took the £7.50 data bolt-on taking it to £27.50. I said yes but wanted to wait for the Orbit 2 and he made a note on the system. So when I called again today they offered me the £35 tariff which now includes a free bolt-on. Told them about the previous offer which was still on their system so they offered my £10 off the new tarrif.
Might just have been lucky, but means they are willing/able to go down that much if you push them.
I spoke to Martin Peers ex 70682 in the retentions team initially. Not sure if dropping names and mentioning offers that other people have got helps but it might be worth a try.
just rang to order. there in stock, but the upgrade "shop" isnt working, need to call back later.
I N S T O C K ! ! !
i can confirm; they have it, just push them.
first i been told, it`s coming out on the 31 feb. i was laughing... quick recheck and i got the same tariff as nick666, but 35pm. i am a select customer, but couldn`t get any better
waiting for monday waiting for monday waiting for monday
thanks nick666
Guys!!! Please tell me what you said!!!! I called them 3 times. Here are my experiences;
1. Called upgrades. Not out till end of Feb sorry, can't help.
2. Called new buyers. Out on Monday (this was reconnaissance work to see if they had it). As it happens I want good upgrade offers!
3. Called the retentaion dept and said I wanted to leave. I said the I know for a fact that other people have bought the Orbit 2 and I had been denied. The guy sounded bemused and said, well let me check....end of Feb. I said but it's on your website under the business dept. He said ohhhh yes I'm afraid that's a diff. dept and only available for business users because it's a business phone. He did say they would knock £20 off my existing £30p/m tarriff however! But no phone!!!! How can I blag it? Normally it's 3rd time lucky!

Sounds like the message hasn't trickled through to all the departments yet - so sounds like you've just been unlucky!!
When I ordered today, it was through the upgrade number, but because I mentioned that I'd already spoken to the retention team they put me through to them. Unfortunately I can't remember the name of the girl I spoke to, but was definitely the retention team. She did take a while when checking if they were available so might not be on the screens yet?
Damn O2, why does it have to be so difficult?! I did speak to the retention team and I was on hold for 3 mins while he went to find out! Should I try again - what if I get the same guy? How embarrasing!!

One more member for the petition. Hurray!!!!!!!
I called them back, systems are still down.
She first said they dont have them in stock, end of feb is release date. I told her no, its out today and they do have stock. she said "erm...hold on.....*types*....oh yes its out later today" lololool.
Systems still down though, have to call back again
Sounds like a lot of angst. I think I'll just wait until the 31st of Feb
just called upgrades told it was in stock but i wasn't eligible till 6th so i wanted the cancel that contract and take out a new one, he put me through to sales, was told not in stock till 31st feb, told him i was told by two people(including a manager) it was out today, started shouting at me saying if they had it why would they want stop people from buying it or something, wouldn't let me speak and then the w****r hung up on me . all i said was i was told it was out today, that was the last thing i said. Gonna ring upgrades back on the 6th because so far all the representatives there have been excellent. was offered £35pm, 400mins, 1000txts, 12 Month Contract and the phone for £39.99 and that was without haggling.

When the 2i came out I had the same exact thing. I did speak to one guy who was knowledgable but this was only because he wanted one as well. Everyone else refused to accept that it was even coming out at all, and refused to budge from their opinion was that the 2s was the highest I could go.
If the standard pattern is to be used here, I would reckon you'll see the Universal around Xmas / New Year and maybe pushing into Spring. I certainly hope so, cos in Janurary I'm due to contract renewal and I'll be hankering after one myself!!! The jump from 2i to Universal is more than that I did from XDA to XDA2. I can't wait!
Ant
but...
i get a contract renewal in august is it possible for me to get the phone even after i have contract renewed?!
AFAIK the contract will run after august without "renewal". And you can upgrade your phone anytime after. But be aware that as soon as you do you are locked into a further 12 months and won't be able to upgrade again until those 12 months are up.
Hope thats what you meant.
Anyone else order from Expansys?
I bought one from Devicewire.co.uk, and it is on its way, due here tomorrow,
BUT then I have this Expansys order....
The happily took my bank transfer....(so they have my money since December) told me multiple dates for shipping... have pushed and pushed and came up with excuses of why they havent sent it to me even when thay had it IN stock...
anyway, now i see that if i look at my order on their website it says 2 days until they get it, BUT on their website if you just look at the touch cruise product page it says 1 day...
WTF???
I pre-ordered and prepaid. some people already got the phone from Expansys, the came up with excuses for their mess-ups as to why i didnt get mine... these people are obviously not good to do business with.
Anyone know, by whatever means, if Expansys.se will actually have the Touch Cruise tomorrow? (or are their dates being pushed to Feb like everyone else, and they are just too chicken sh#t to admit it?)
bad business, bad bad business Expansys
Devicewire.co.uk is the best!!!

Feel free to post your speculations and release dates here. We can also use this thread to let each other know what stores has the device in your area. Please be kind to each other...and happy posting.
wow, that was fast. I think I'll now be jumping on the Friday, November 7th bandwagon, but i hope that my friend gets it in sooner.

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?

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?"

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.

Ill be picking up the g2x tomorrow when the store opens at the tmobile store on northern and parsons in nyc. This will be my first time getting a tmobile phone at launch so does anybody know if there is usually a line?
Im also worried because there will be 3 new devices releasing at the same time
probably not.

pretend its black friday and go there at like 3 am...... <---sarcasm! lol
at my store (witch was a little kiosk in the mall) when the vibrant was launched there was a line.... id say get there early cuz i asked the rep if alot of these phones have been sold online/phone and she said YES ALOT!
I got the Vibrant 5 days early from Costco Too bad can't get G2X like that...
the only reason people lined up for the iphone is because they are/were weak minded and succumb to the subliminal advertising that apple ran. I mean seriously it is just a phone.
Did they change the release date? Everything I'd heard was that they were supposed to be in the stores on 4/20, i.e., Wednesday, not tomorrow.
I think you are correct, I think it is 4/20 not 4/19 .. so that guy can go in tomorrow if he wants lol.
lol ya start the line for us Ill send you a card with my name on it you can tell people your holding a place in line for me till wed morning.
Think many people who wanted one now ordered via phone/web. Doubt many will be in-store.
Im getting mine in store also this Wednesday here in Nashville TN. I called last Saturday to verify that they will have some on the 20th. She said yes. And also put me on a Waiting list for the phone. According to her, they will hold a phone for me for 24hours and she asked for my Name / TMobile number.
Funny thing is, I was the first person on / starting the list. I called again today to verify again and was told they now have 3 total people on the list lol. Ima go there first thing in the morning though.
Was going to order online but dont like paying for things and having to wait on my items. Id rather pay and get the item right then and there.
I remember when I ordered the Nexus One back in Jan when it launched. Those where the longest 2 days of my life LOLOL.
I once showed up mistakenly one day early to pick up a video game and they actually sold it to me. Could be he is the one laughing tomorrow ... Well probably not but I always root for the underdog. Lol
The store where I picked up my vibrant a long time ago, said I won't have any problems picking this up Wednesday. I can't wait!
I went to the T-mobile store to check out a G2X. The rep said there should be plenty of G2X's on the sales date and joked that T-Mobile didn't even advertise their new 4G phone.

I've never heard of this waiting list... I might need to look into it this morning
I just spoke with a sales person at my local corporate store (Framingham, MA), who said that they had "plenty" in stock. I asked if I could reserve one, and he said that I shouldn't have any problem if I show up around opening time tomorrow. FWIW.

Nice!!!
With them not advertising it. Alot of people dont even know about the G2 except for us since we more Phone Pros. The average Joe dont be on twitter and dont be on XDA so the average person doesnt even know a new Android phone is coming out. That said, there shouldnt be a problem for us getting one at the store.
The store I went to last night (metro Detroit) said they only have 5 in stock and had about that many people come in and ask for them. I'm gonna go back tonight and see if he'll sell one to me early.
I went to a store this evening and a.rep let me look at his, which he was very impressed with. The screen is really nice and it is very, very fast. Wish he didn't have a sleeve on it though.
He said that there were a lot of people on their waiting list, but that they got a lot of phones. I put my name on one and I will probably go in tomorrow morning and pick one up.
yes, some stores have a waiting list. I was in one store this evening that the manager was VERY knowledgeable about the G2x. We chatted for a while and he revealed that they only have 10 in stock. He ended up adding my name to one G2x box for me. I watched him go to the back of the room and added my name to it. He also said that they are expecting more phones tomorrow.
i called my local tmo corp store yesterday and was told "just try to be here at 10." the rep mentioned that they'd have "plenty" in stock and he didn't think that it'd be sold out quickly.
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.

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.

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.

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.

Ordered on 26th as well. Wanted it soon so ordered the 64gig, if they don't ship it my tuesday .. I ll call them up and ask for a 50gbp coupon since it said expedited delivery and no wait on this version.

Hopefully we'll get E-mails tomorrow saying it's been dispatched, for delivery on Tuesday.
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:

What was the date of your original order?
Thanks,

My order still stays in process. I called this morning and asked have any Surfaces been shipped to UK customers. He told me yes. I ordered virtually on launch day. Still no joy
