[Q] Has ayone received the car dock from HTC website?

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

That's EXTREMELY coincidental...The same thing happened to me. I thought it was an accident.. but if they sent two to two different people... I dunno.

I will buy it off of you for 40 dollars

Rumor: release date for new smart watch

here
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!)

Just strap your phone to your wrist

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

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.

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.

Carphone Warehouse Level Box Slim Speaker Offer

Anyone else received their free speaker? I took delivery of mine this morning and am rather impressed - what a nice little freebie! I sounds better than I thought it would and goes way louder than other Bluetooth speakers I have used.
I registered my claim on 20th April and got the 'Claim Validated' email on 8 May.

Is this carrier specific? I didn't know about any free speakers, but I'm on Tmobile
Sent from my SM-G955U using Tapatalk

It was an offer by the UK's CarphoneWarehouse on pre-orders of the S8. I would buy one if I didn't get it free - it is a Samsung branded IPx7 water resistant speaker and can provide power to charge your phone. Apparently not too expensive online through eBay. Looks really nice and perfect for my bathroom!

Oh ok. In the US here. I was thinking about Bluetooth speaker maybe to attach to my road bike or just to have around the house too. I use Amazon a lot and sometimes Ebay

My claim ID was 213. I did pick up my S8 around 9.30 am on 20th April and submitted the claim within the hour, lol!

Probably got a while before getting mine then as I'm 29102, validated 9th May.
It was the only decent offer in the UK - the VR Americans got would have been better and help the VR ecosystem increase in popularity.

Claim number 12000ish and got validated 8th May. I hope to see mine next day or two.

Just got mine through today, didn't realise after getting the message saying your claim has been validated, you get a final message saying your claim has been processed

Got mine yesterday. It is quite good. Takes forever to charge but imagine i won't be charging it often. The Samsung Level app is useful.

I received mine today but the micro usb doesn't fit the s8+ so if I wanted to use it as a portable charger does that mean I have to buy a different connecter?

Ordered mine today (pre order actually)

and am looking forwards to receiving it. I know the processor is only the 845 but I am getting it primarily for the camera setup as I take lots of photos with my phones. Anyone else pre order theirs yet? I live north of Boston, Ma.

You can also just walked into a BestBuy and get it for $599 this week. I think I need to do that to get a hands-on and check out the camera app speed. A few seconds delay between the shots sounds a little too much.

I currently have the device and downloaded a pixel camera apk that seems compatible with it. Though question I must ask, does all five cameras work on third party camera apps as well… (night scape on this device would be fantastic). Nokia 9 five cameras’ design using a compatible pixel 3 camera apk would make me not purchase the google pixel 3 xl.

I picked mine up at Best Buy last Friday (March 1). Some locations had them available.

What are your thoughts? I picked one up as well, but haven't opened the box yet.

I ordered one from B&H, not sure when they ship but I'm happy just knowing I have one reserved for now.

I ordered one from B&H too! Hopefully they get some stock this week. Might arrive faster than the S10!

Very Excited.
I'm in the UK and I pre-ordered on the 28th Feb.
I have been on the fence about buying a new phone for around a year and I hadn't seen anything about this phone before the 27th. It hauled me down off the fence quicker than I expected, especially when I saw the UK price with the earbuds thrown in.
Really excited about the potential of the camera and the early review shots have looked great.

Although Best Buy has it on hand(at some stores at least) I preferred to order from BH Photo . Best Buy charges $25 for returns while BH does not charge for returns and it is free shipping to/from them. I have bought a lot of gadgets from Best Buy and BH and , BH photo usually has the best customer service. Of course BH does not charge taxes either (they are located in NYC) and I live in Massachusettes. Shipping from BH photo , when supply is in, is 1-3 days.

Looks like B&H may ship tomorrow according to an email I just got:
"Released in limited qty 03/05/19"
Quoted from my order,under the phone description

Also in the UK, ordered March 3rd and it is saying expected shipping date is April 1st, which is later than some other regions. I need to replace my S7 Edge and I'm seeing this device as a bit of an upgrade over the OnePlus 6T. I suppose I could wait for the OnePlus 7 but I expect that device to be more expensive and have no wireless charging. Also the camera is a bonus, and HDR10 support on the screen will be interesting to try.
Nokia are also claiming HDR video recording, though I am not sure what that really means yet.

Mine should be here tomorrow! Super excited

Interesting to hear that the phone is available in some markets. Ordered mine, but no indication on when the delivery starts in the Netherlands. Some rumors say 15 March, others early April.

I pre-ordered mine from Best Buy on the 3rd of March, at around 3am. I received it yesterday (7th) from UPS at around 3pm. I am near Cleveland Ohio. I chose the free shipping, surprisingly I was expecting UPS to hand it off to USPS because it was sure-post method, but UPS ended up delivering it. I have to go to the AT&T store today to get a nano SIM, my current/old phone was a micro SIM, so I have yet to power it up and trying it out. I will later today *crosses fingers*.

Xperia 1 preorder. USA

I just pre ordered xperia 1 from BHphoto and video. The cost is 949 dollars and comes with the state of the art Sony headphone WH-XM1003 headphones.
There is no sales tax on it for Florida state. Total saving almost 410 dollars amazing deal for a amazing phone.

Great deal! I'm seriously a bit salty with that offer, lol. Made me wish that I should have waited a few more weeks. Although I already have the WH-1000XM2, the latest ones are definitely better.
Enjoy your bundle in a few weeks!

Same. Ended up ordering from BHPhoto just to avoid dealing with not know if the headphones would come w/ it. I just bought those headphones for my dad for father's day and he loves them. So another pair can't hurt.

Amazon updated their listing and now there is an option to pre-order the phone with the headphones...kind of annoying because in order to get them I had to cancel my pre-order and re-do my pre-order in order to get the headphones. There was no way to modify my order to include the headphones.

Anyone who ordered from bhphoto - has your phone shipped? Thus far, only the headphones appear to be on their way to me.

My phone along with headphone has been shipped with delivery expected on the 17th and it was shipped on the 12th. With bhphoto you save the tax but the downside is I am getting the phone 5 days after the official release.

At least it shipped. I got a backorder email notification this morning, so I guess I will be waiting for a while. Headphones are showing up today though.

Well after dropping them a mail to understand when the phone would be in stock, they replied that they had it and would ship it today. Glad I asked lol. Hopefully it will show up tomorrow or the day after (I did 1 day shipping).
Update: Looks like it shipped (yay!)
