Robbo for Prime Minister!

Or at least Secretary for Shiny Kit

Let's not get too carried away. Cardinal Shiny Kit will do.

Vote for me and there will be free Ice Cream Sandwiches for all.

Anyone used handtec?

Gone and placed a pre order, had enough of waiting.

Im assuming they'll refund any difference come release day?

I've used then a couple of times for Galaxy Tab 10.1 accessories and the service was fine. I wouldn’t make the assumption on the price, best give them a call and see.

 

[Cosimo]

yeah i know, still over 2 weeks away

Fifteen days seems like an eternity and still not a peep from the likes of CPW and O2.

 

[Cosimo]

It's really hacking me off. I want new shiny kit and I want it NOW

Have you ordered?

 

[Cosimo]

Have Orange confirmed that they're getting the GN?

Not yet seen anything on their website.

 

[Cosimo]

cheers was hoping for o2 though as I get a 30% discount

This lot are offering O2:

O2 are still showing it as coming soon.

 

[Cosimo]

There wasn't a side view though!

It made all the difference.

GN has now been rooted by Paul @ Modaco, Seems pretty simple too, auto root during boot via SuperRoot.

Nice!

It never takes very long:

*drops to knees*

Passes the smelling salts and pats on back.

Are all these delays simply down to carrier and retailer exclusivity?

They need to **** off, seriously

This has cropped up this morning:

"The level of interest and anticipation surrounding the release of the Galaxy Nexus has been fantastic," said Simon Stanford, head of mobile at Samsung UK.

"We're delighted to introduce the Galaxy Nexus to the UK and are looking forward to seeing it in the shops on 17th of November."

Apparently heading to "a range of UK retailers" including Carphone Warehouse, Vodafone, O2 and Three, the Samsung Galaxy Nexus UK pricing will be around £45 a month on contract deals or around £549 SIM-free

From Handtec blogg:

In Samsung | on November, 04, 2011 | by admin | 0

Preorders are hotting up for this device – however distribution is stating delivery of this highly anticipated device has moved to week commencing 21st November. This will unfortunately effect all UK retailers.

we will try to keep everyone updated on Handtec’s Samsung Galaxy Nexus page

I suspect it's just them.
