HTC 10 on Vodafone

[LordLanky]

So, exciting news about the HTC 10 yesterday.
The leaks left me doubting if the device was good enough, but initial reviews suggest it might have got it right.

In the meantime TechRadar suggests VF are sitting on the fence about whether to stock it.

I'm sure a helpful VF member of staff will point us to the pointless "Coming Soon" page. Thanks for that.

Meantime here in the real world who would like VF to stock the HTC 10?
Is it incredible or even possible that VF are considering to NOT run with it?

Hi. Little treat on the way for the ones who ordered direct from HTC ?

@63johnw it's obvious this is a US promo, I don't think that it's guaranteed it will be the same in the UK

[63johnw]

It doesn't say that? Just if ordered on official site.

[63johnw]

Yeah done a lttle further looking and you may be right (but it may spread to other regions) 😏

@63johnw well, I'm only assuming. Based on the wording of the email it was sent after the phone was delivered, also the article is on a U{S website. They've also hinted it could be a pair of the earbuds that comes in box in Eurpoe, which would make sense.

I've pre-ordered mine directly form HTC and I only had a confirmation thet the payment will be processed soon so far. I'm keeping my fingers crossed thay will ship and deliver by end of next week. I would not mind a freebie though

UPDATE: "Unfortunately, the email is only being sent to those who pre-ordered the HTC 10 from htc.com in the US. We’re sorry to say that Verizon customers are out of luck. HTC may have a similar gift planned for those who pre-ordered the phone from its site in other regions, but we haven’t seen anything pop up yet." - source Phandroid.com

Any news about the phone comming to VF?

[63johnw]

Hi. Still not coming

My impatience got the better of me :smileyhappy: ... however, not really a bad deal and still works out better that I could have got elsewhere.  I spoke to a very nice VF customer services rep who still thinks they will eventually get the phone but couldn't guarantee it but I ended up with a 12 month SIM only deal for £9.  Add to that the cost of the SIM free phone at £513 and works out to around £30 per month over 24 (which is what the contract would have been with a phone plus contract deal) now I'll just be waiting for the shiny new carbon grey phone :smileywink:

Im running out of patience.. Wanted to get the phone from CPW but the insurance is too expensive there and at VF i would benefit of the 20% because of VEA. Cmon VF bring the damn phone !!!!!!
