Carphone Warehouse offering phones online for a discount and later cancelling orders has happened a few times here.

It happened when they offered the Samsung Wave http://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/showthread.php?p=69754767 and 50 pages of rage appeared.

It happened since then on a different phone but I can't find the thread

Just have to try and get our money back now then, this'll be fun. I'm never using CPW again.

Poor form from CPW tbh, i was one of the first to order to S and got cancelled.

Dont begrudge those who got them instore, but surely online orders made first should have been fulfilled

Just got the e-mail too

How does something like this happen?

With most of us ordering at least two business days ago and receiving a confirmation e-mail and only now them saying "Sorry, we actually dont have that thing we said we had. Tough luck."

I am so annoyed by this. I work less than 500 meters from a CFW. Had i known there was any chance of this happening, i would have bought a "second" phone instore.

I work for an online retailer and its ridiculous that this stuff can still happen. It was going in and out of stock. To take the amount of money and orders is unbelievable without noticing it.

I don't like CPW anyway but this has made my opinion of them worse. Wont go near there shops again.

No call back.. maybe they decided not to call because the email went out after my call.

Anyway.. like most other people here.. Not impressed by CPW

Quick question for anyone who got the phone/knows about these things...

I bought it; popped my Meteor sim in and all appears to be fine apart from 2 things;

1. I can pick up 3G at all anywhere. It just wont work.
2. It didn't sync any of my contacts from my previous android once I hooked it up to my gmail.

I assume this means I'll have to unlock it?

Edit: Nevermind; a quick Google fixed it. APN settings were the culprit!

Was that for your one x or a one s? My One X seems to be working great with my 3 sim and a lycra sim Wonder if its the same story with the One S

Ordered One X online for my mother but she said its too big after checking out the in-store dummy. If anyone from Cork wants to take it off me once it arrives, send a PM.

Do you still have it. I will buy it off you. I am in Cork

And what is a PM. And how do you send it.
