Hey Guys,
I had ordered the Nexus one car dock from HTC website (Letstalk.com) on Aug-8. At that it was back ordered and available to ship on Aug-18. From that day they keep extending the date by a day everyday, the current date to ship is 9/9/2010.
Just want to know is the new date to ship only for new orders or all orders? and has anyone received the car dock from this site?
Thanks!
you're not alone.. I ordered back around August 14th and keep getting the 'still backordered' e-mail with the ETA getting pushed back.
do the items even exist? I always get the run around from HTC.. thinking about upping the ante with a BBB complaint...
wow im glad i didnt order mine yet then...
Hi,
sory off-post,
I bought, some days ago, the holder from brodit, and is spectacular, already used on my old hd, but for me is without doubt the best on the market.

Those are nice until they damage the finish on the bottom of your phone (I have one, I now have a paint chip on either corner of my phone thanks to that holder).
Thanks for the replies guys.....I am glad I am not alone...its unfortunate though.
HTC website is misleading, it says "backordered and available to ship", does not say those avaialbility dates are uncertain...its almost like they are cheating customers to buy from them and then keep them waiting.
I guess i will cancel my order and buy other holders available in market ..there are few suggested by other users in this forum.
Always backordered here too since mid August.
Except I paid of course immediately...
I ordered mine at the beginnig of august. On the site it was written availability september the 1st. And I received it august the 25th !!
I'm in France, maybe, for once, we are lucky .
Now it shows as TBD no more ETA in the last email..
nah, they do that a lot. check the htc website, its been postponed 3 more days.
I ordered mine in early August and still getting emails of backorder every two days. Wondering if they'll ever fullfill the orders.
Not sure if I am getting special treatment but here is what has happened so far:
I left the car dock in my windshield for about 2 months... bluetooth speaker started to suck. Went to release my phone with the push tab and the frame fractured.
About a week ago, maybe two, I called HTC and they emailed me a label for overnight to them for replacement and seeing if what was wrong was covered. Having not heard from them eight days later I called with my HTC ticket# and asked why I haven't received any notifications regarding my device and the lady escalated my ticket and I received my car dock today. It looks different...not sure how. But they definitely have them. Good luck to those of you who didn't pull the trigger for one right when you got your phone like I did.
I ordered a case from them on August 16th and they kept sending backorder emails well I got tired of their **** and just cancelled my order. Maybe one day I may or may not reorder when they have them in stock.
I also ordered in august and have been getting the emails every few days when they push the ship date back. It is pissing me off
Add me to the list... Ordered early August, nothing received other than those stupid every-2-day emails...
I am starting to think of cancelling the order.
Add the desktop dock to the backorder love...
Talked to google MULTIPLE times about availability of Official Nexus One accessories after the google.com/phone site went offline for orders. They kept giving me shaded answers until finally hinting they would be offered by htc. Finally HTC offered items on the HTC accessories site in the states. Ordered my desktop dock about a week ago and I have since gotten three backorder updates...
1) 9/22/2010
2) 10/10/2010
3) 11/26/2010
Are you kidding me? I bet I could take classes to learn how to program bluetooth technologies and set plastic moldings; I could then make my own dock before I get my official one...
Yet I digress with my patience; I want the official dock.
I ordered on august 24th and have gotten 13 emails pushing the date back

It limits you to 4 options, Powerpoint, Internet, Youtube.. and something I forget.
But can we get it to display anything we want?
Btw it's so cool.
Oh well that's a bit useless then...if I can't use CorePlayer what's the point?
Let me plug it in real quick.
Ok I figured it out.
Ok first off - the jack you plug the phone into has a place to charge your phone. That's a nice feature.
Ok, you plug it in, the phone displays on your TV Beautifully. It gives four buttons.
Powerpoint
Photos and Videos
Internet
Youtube
The only soft button is "Close".
You press Close, it goes to your default Touchflo screen - the one when you open the keyboard. Touchflo 2D I think? Well I'm gonna go explore some more.
Edit: I opened Diamond Hologram and it froze. It just came here actually. Diamon Hologram displays vertically, but the phone is locked horizontally, so it looks very strange. So be careful opening programs that can't tilt. I don't have G-Sensor on but I bet it'd help.
No cable here. I ordered Oct 10 from Expansys and have been continually misled about stock and delivery. Now they say that due to an error, they shipped others ahead of mine and are again out of stock... maybe sometime in January. Is there ANY other supplier? I'm tired of the BS.

Live and learn. I have probably invested over an hour of my time writing emails and calling about what should have been a 1 minute click and purchase item. I'm done. I'll call one more time today and to cancel the order.
I have TV-Out cable for almost a month and it works perfect, I can play Coreplayer (movies) and anything else (photo album or whatever you like) what is on screen of your TP will be on the TV also)

Don't believe their website on availability. When I ordered one a few days ago, it showed nearly 400 in stock. Then I get an e-mail saying it won't ship until mid to late December. They also offered to substitute one of their own cables, which does not charge.

F$%^CK The [email protected]@rds!!!!
excuse my french :]
I have exactly the same experience with them!!
I wanted to do a safe internet buy, so i thought it would be wise to buy some phone stuff at the official HTC shop.
Arriving at the payment i suddenly noticed the name Expansys popping up, since the delivery would only take 3 days, i didnt care so much about it. Afterall i was redirected from the HTC shop. End of the story: the delivery wasnt 3 days but 3 full months!!!!And the people at the Dutch Expansys shop didnt care about a thing
i will never never never buy something from those criminals again...
At least their webpage says out of stock now and Jan. delivery on the tv cables. I bet they have has alot of irate calls the last few weeks from customers. HTC really needs to find a better partner to do business with for their accessoires.
Anyone know where to get one in the US???????

For what it's worth, I ordered mine thru expansys on Saturday, and it just got delivered to my house today via Fedex.
Looking forward to trying it out when I get home! Toys! I love toys!!
Edit: I see they have the HTC Touch Pro TV Out Cable AC T110 backordered. I ordered an item called "HTC Raphael TV Out Cable AC T110", and that shipped immediately.
Comet now have these in stock for dispatch, i just ordered mine for tomorrow and have received a confirmation of delivery email (if that means anything)
Fingers crossed here's hoping

Thanks for the pointer I've ordered one too but I'm not over-confident I will have a TF in my hot hands by Friday somehow. It seems odd that neither Ebuyer or Amazon for example have stocks, and I seem to recall Comet as being optimistic regarding stocks of the (minus dock) TF's too.
Actually reading all the tales of woe re screen bleed, troublesome docks etc, I wonder if I've made a wise decision but life's too short and I've taken a chance
Comet can have these bundles within 2 weeks. Thanks to a contact in comet

Think positive!
I emailed them yesterday with that same question 'how come you get yours in stock and amazon say june 1st'? They emailed me back this morning saying they were due in today so i've been watching the website all morning waiting for it to be updated, when i saw it i rang them to confirm and gave them my details, they then rang back to confirm delivery tomorrow by parcel force for which i paid an extra £5.60
If they don't turn up a local store is going to get a brick through it's window

I went into my local store Saturday and the guy checked stock at the CDC which said delivery due 10th. I went in after work today and it was right they got them ready to be sent out so ordered one for in-store collection and picking it up Friday if you don't want to order online go in and do what I did. I only paid £399 as I took out the extra care so did me a deal so all in I only actually paid £485 with the service plan as I got 10% off buying vouchers through my work I'm a happy boy lol
Just ordered the bundle as well. I hope the keyboard will come with the US layout like on the pictures and not the UK layout.
Due in on Friday!
I received my Transformer from Comet yesterday, when I ordered it on Monday they told me they had 78 in stock.

When i had mine a month ago all i had was the slate, they didn't get any stock of keyboards until yesterday and i was straight on the phone.
Just ring up the service centre direct 0844 800 95 95, all a store will do is give you some BS about availability
The keyboard is awesome, increases productivy a 1000 percent, the keys have a really good feel, and the touchpad is very fast, haven't worked out how to adjust speed.
Been using it for about five hours with general use, setting up ADW EX, a bit of youtube, web browsing, emails, and it's only gone down 15 percent!
Well indeed I should have had more faith my order arrived this morning as promised Must admit I was surprised when just one box arrived as I've always seen the pad and dock in two separate boxes but sure enough they were both inside.
No juice at all in the pad though some in the dock just a quick look and no sign of back-light bleed (with the start-up dark background).
Must say I love the look of the TF and dock, feels solid and well made
Damn the long initial charge time I want to play with my new toy
Took delivery of mine today from Comet, plugged in an power on BAM! Screen bleed!! All edges are corners, pretty bad. Went to my local store to return and refund and they have awful customer service. They treated me as if I was lying "oh I dont see a problem", well its not you who purchased it?
Anyway got a refund in the end. Having now had 2 faulty Asus transformers and 7 faulty iPads I think its time I walk away from tablets.....
I now have my bundle in hand after picking it up from Comet and its amazing can't believe how small the box was with both in I had to ask if both were there lol I also picked up a nice bag for it which I'm happy about.

Are you in the UK at the moment? I'm currently in the US and will have my keyboard delivered next Wednesday (US Layout)...I then return to the UK on Saturday. Would you be interested in a swap? I'm not overly bothered about having a US keyboard but a UK layout would be a bonus.
Ordered one from comet to arrive today....

want to hear from others that were wronged by amazon wireless.... After doing my research on what phone I wanted, I took advantage of the deal going on @Amazon wireless on Thanksgiving, where you got the skyrocket for a penny--- went thru the steps---approved thru AT&T--showed IN STOCK ordered it.... Supposed to ship within one week (2 day free shipping...yeah right) So the next day I return to the site to gain more info---now I see the skyrocket is "not available" backorder... Thought , good thing I bought yesterday (said IN STOCK when I cashed out) so I check my order and find that ship date is JAN. 9 ! Ordered on Nov 24th, I called in and found that they threw me in the backorder pool...That is BS I told them , because it said IN STOCK when I purchased... Had this info been laid in front of me @ time of purchase I may have done something diff. Even now if you go to the site, it will show "backordered, ships in 1 - 2 weeks--really? And my order from Nov 24th goes all the way to Jan 9th? So, looking for others wronged by Amazon..... . I also checked with both at&t and Samsung. ...no shortage of skyrockets...........

hope its worth the $19 unlimited everything deal for my wife.
Wow bummer.. least its only a penny for the wait
I ordered on the 25th and it said I should get it Dec 8th. I'll check and verify that's still the case. When I ordered it, it said it was out of stock, so I was expecting a delay. But Jan??? That's a bit much.
Amazon Wireless actually sent me two Skyrockets.
I originally placed an order but was required to do a manual review by ATT/Amazon and was too lazy to do it at the time so a few days later I placed another order and actually did the manual review. After I finished the manual review I got a confirmation of the first order as well as the second one.
I get two shipping emails but only one new number email. I figure it is a mistake and that Amazon would catch it before shipping after the Thanksgiving Holiday. A few days later I have two Amazon boxes sitting at my front door. I only opened one line but have this extra Skyrocket sitting on my desk.
I love Amazon.

I ordered on 25th as well and mine should be delivered tomorrow. Along with SGS II and Captivate Glide (Moving 3 lines from Tmobile)
I ordered 1AM on Tuesday and it arrived 3PM on Wednesday. I was actually impressed because I was expecting it the following Monday after the holiday.
I'm sorry you still have to wait. But for a $.01...I wouldn't mind the wait. Maybe you can get them to send you a white one?

apparently the clove website has a release date of july 15th for the next gen sony smart watch.
price...a sweet £120.u can read the rest in the article.
sorry but official sonyxperia account confirmed that it is going to be released in September. here is the picture. hate that this rumor is not true..if not it'll be a good price...

Just made a pre-order myself @ clove
Well, Sony has said that it will be available WORLDWIDE in September, the paramount word here being worldwide. UK is not worldwide and it's not as if they necessarily just stock up produced watches and then ship it everywhere at the exact same time. Clove is a reputable company IMO, but I'll get back to post here when I have my watch before the end of this month :victory: (fingers crossed)
Keen to get this too.. just not sure if warranty is international or not though!

There are at least three UK web sites with the Sony SmartWatch 2 on pre-order in two weeks (July 15 week): Clove, MobileFunUK, and Handtec. I pre-ordered from both Clove and MobileFunUK. Clove already charged my credit card!
I ordered the current generation from MobileFunUK last year and it was delivered earlier than the rest of the world by a few weeks if I recall correctly.
So it seems very real!
cant believe theres STILL no speaker and mic. this is a must have imo. ive been waiting for so long for that, now going to have to wait longer!

Its not trying to replace a bluetooth earpiece, not to mention it would make it too bulky. Look at the Kreyos. Great features, but looks ridiculous as a watch.

im not sure where it says what its suposed to do before its released? so there is no reason they could not do it these days (im sure it could be done without being bulky) ive read of many users that would love that functionality. i would be quite willing to pay the extra price. it would turn it from being a good watch to being the best. (especially if it included a camera too!)

Yes two for now. I have 4 Sony current generation ones. I typically get multiple for various reasons including being able to have failures/damages.
Some web sites charge on preorder, I didn't realize Clove was doing this but am OK with it.
It will be interesting to see which one gets delivered first, as I also selected the fastest option available with each.
Thanks

Are you in UK or US? But guess good thing is by charging you, you get locked in to that price? Because reports indicate it should cost more come September

Canada, yes I think the current price is reasonable.
Clove is a big fat no-go

In Clove's FAQ they write the following:
Do you take payment straight away?
Unless you have ordered an item that is marked as 'pre-order' on the product page, you will be charged straight away for the products ordered.
I pre-ordered, obviously, and they charged me straight away, now they just happen to have to delay it till week starting September 9 because Sony misinformed them. Yeah right. Lying sacks of s.... I'm fuming right now. Mobilefun.co.uk has it for preorder too and having bought 10+ times from them already and always really satisfied, I'll preorder with them instead. Also they answer questions and their watch is the plastic or silicone strap, which I prefer to the leather one that Clove claims to get - if ever. Like I'm gonna lend them all that money for 2 months
EDIT: So delay is legit, but their charing immediately is still crappy business practice.
Yup just got the Emil from Clover about the Sept 9 delay also.
Not too keen on their charge of the card now may ask them to reverse it till shipment.

Just take a look at who you should trust. Trustpilot is a Danish company, so not as well known by non-Danes, but I concur with the reviewers.
Check Trustpilot website and read about Mobilefun and Clove and then compare them.
Can't post links because of this damn spam prevention 10 post system. At least this way, replying and hopefully helping you, I'll rack up enough to be able to post in developers section. By no means a newbie but unlike some I always search forums thoroughly, so never needed to ask much myself :angel:
I have just ordered it from Mobilefun and theirs is the rubber strap that I wanted anyway. Even it I still won't get it till September, I trust them regarding any problems with the watch later, should such arise.
Clove just responded that I'll get my money back within 7 business days!!! What? They should do it today so I'll have it by tomorrow. I might get it by tomorrow, I guess, but never have I dealt with anyone that slow.
Best of luck and Mobilefun FTW :victory:

Can't post links yet but to to mobilefun . co. uk and type smartwatch, then find version 2 and read the correspondence. They seem quite certain it will be in July, or it would seem, at least before September. You could give it till tomorrow to see it they change their prospects like Clove did, but unlike those sons of cloves they won't charge you until they actually send it.
New update as per July 9 afternoon

Verbatim copy paste from Mobilefun’s website where some dude asked what we’d all like to know.
David:
Hi there. I have this on pre-order with you in anticipation of the 15th July release date. However, sources are saying as of this morning, Sony has now pushed back its release date to its original one of September. Do you know if this is now the case? Thanks.
Mobilefun:
Hi David,
The release date of the Sony SmartWatch 2 has been put back to September and will not be launching week commencing 15th July as previously stated. The revised arrival date is week commencing 9th September. At all times we provide the most accurate information we can based on data we are supplied. It has transpired that the date of the 15th July given by Sony’s distribution arm was incorrect.
We are sorry for any inconvenience this delay may cause.
So it seems the delivery delay is the same for Mobilefun and Clove. Only difference now is that Clove will charge you immediately and Mobilefun won’t until they actually ship AFAIK. Clove’s comes with a narrow black leather strap and Mobilefun’s is the silicone strap. I’ve opted for the latter since I don’t want a splashproof watch with a strap that can’t handle water at all, or sweat for that matter. The silicone one is wider and more supportive and hugs the watch making it look smaller and the little holder things appear less prominent. Sony will release extra straps later, but that could take a while and if their overpriced M2 micro-flash cards are anything to go by, they’ll cost twice as much as a similar 24 mm strap on amazon/ebay. The silicone one is a fit, but the leather one is generic, so buy the durable silicone and you can then easily replace with a less durable leather later. Just my two cents.
EDIT: Mobilefun also charges immediately. Guess there's not way around that, but I don't care anymore. The other stuff I got from them I've liked and their service has been good so far.
So I bit the bullet and decided to wrap the Note9 and found that only SlickWraps lets you buy wraps for the sides of the phone. So went ahead and ordered them on the 8th of this month.
At this point the order has not changed status at all. They are also not responding to any customer tickets. Nothing, it's like there's no one home.
I was wondering if anyone else got anything from them, and if you did, how long did it take you to get it?
They are SLOW during their sales. I too bought 3 skins this time during their 70% off sale. The last time I bought during a sale, I didn't receive my items for 3 weeks. I emailed them and like you got nothing for a while. Eventually they did let me know that during and after a site sale their shipping and email response times are longer than usual. Hope this helps.
I should have learned my lesson from last time this big sale happened. My order that was placed on the 8th is still waiting to be arrived at a USPS facility. Label created only. My second order placed the on the 9th still has no shipping label created.
This will be the last time I order from them at all. Sale or no sale. They don't even respond to emails. Small operations. Mom and pop-like operation from the looks of how they're running things. Dbrand is not much better than them in this regard. I think skins are dead to me because of the selling experience as a whole.

Least you got some movement. I'm still in processing. And I completely agree with you, this makes me never want to buy a skin again.
I should have learned my lesson the first time.
I ordered some during the holiday season and like another user stated took about 3 weeks to get to me. Understandable during the holidays. Now I have placed an order and have not heard anything for over a week.
Last time I order from them. I could care less they are made in the USA. Make them in China and ship them out sooner.
I ordered mine on the 5th of this month and is still processing. I emailed them and 3-4 days later they emailed me back stating that during their sales they get behind but assure me that once my order is complete I will receive a tracking number. Going on 2 weeks already.
Very annoying. Last time I ordered, took 4 days to receive item. I think this will be the last time I order from SW

Not in the US so my usual shipping is 2 weeks if I order from them. Currently waiting for 2 orders. First order made March 17. Second order made March 29. Guess what? My March 29 order got tagged as shipped last April 3. March 17 order? Got tagged as shipped last April 17. The problem is I still order from them. Oh well. I'll just have to wait, i guess.
