Are you dim or something?
What on earth are you on about? Have we got our wires crossed?
I was asking if anyone had received their HDC Touch HD today, as they are send out via RM Special Delivery which generally arrives early in the morning.

Yes probably, they said they were expecting stock in today. I'm talking abuot the delivery IN to them..
I was under the impression that they were expecting to get them out to customers today, must've misread what they said.

They have changed it to the 17th on the website now 
Have you tried one with the firmware upgrade? My brother sent his away to be done and once he got it back the difference was incredible. Seriously tempted in getting one if the HD takes too long to be available via other networks.

No I didn't - I had an extended play with one in a shop and also played with a friends Tocco. The response was average at best especially after playing with both the G1 and the ipod touch. I liked the OS but disliked the response and need for a stylus.

AAAAARRRRGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHH !!!!!!!
Its not fair. Just got off the phone to Mobiles and they confirmed there not expecting stock till the 17th now.
Makes for a difficult decision now as my contract with Vodafone ends next week and Im tempted by the Blackberry Storm.
Decisions, decisions, decisions.

Well finally got my mits on one of these and to be honest I was quite dissappointed. The hardware is very nice as is the screen. The touch is lackluster altho I would write that down to the OS rather than the hardware capability. The response times are horrible when compared to the iPhone or the G1 especially when it comes to accelerometer response - you tip the phone and around 3 seconds later it responds with around a 2-3 frames /second animation.
I'll say this - touch HD with Android = killer phone. The hardware is gold - windows mobile is poor at best once you start to demand things from it. The coverflow style frontend is nice and responsive but the rest is laggy and in dire need of optimisation. All said tho it's something that could well be addressed in later versions of the OS and could get significantly better.

In a manky little shop on the west side of Tottenham Court Road just past the Odeon. They had a sign out the front of it saying "we have the HTC Touch HD in Stock now".
Damn...that's really thrown the cat amongst the pigeons! I was pretty set on the Touch HD, but this doesn't sound too promising.

Im in the same position. Its a choice between the Touch HD or the Blackberry Storm for me.
Would like the HD but doesnt seem too promising and it means a change of network for me. If I go the Storm route, Im already with Vodafone and due an upgrade on the 17th nov so hopefully Ill get a decent deal.

Don't be put off by my call - the hardware is stunning - the OS needs work and you have to remember that it's the first release of it for the Touch HD - these things get fixed down the line. I too was quite set on one but the initial release price really put me off as did the initial plan prices. That's why I've gone with the G1 and I'm not regretting it so far...
I've actually found the Touch HD cheaper - £35 a month, free phone and £40 cashback (on O2, via mobiles.co.uk) as opposed to £40 for the G1....

I got my G1 on upgrade for free with £20/month incl 3GB of 'unlimited' interwibble.
Nice deal! I'm on 3 just now so have to take out a new contract wherever I go. £40 a month is just too much for me

Fair enough too - To be entirely honest if you're paying that much I'd expect much more from the hardware. It's literally an early adopter only option at that price. I wouldn't have dished out £40/month on one.
