Pre-order Thread for the Red Version

[coronaboy10]

I had pre-ordered right when Solar Red was made available, but received a coupon code today. I called HTC customer service, and they said they would cancel the original order and then I could submit a new one and use the promo code there. I asked if I'd get a confirmation email about the cancellation, and he said absolutely, but 10 hours later I have not gotten anything.

The fact that everyone here seems to have a different experience is kind of concerning to me. Hopefully I won't end up with 2 phones, or zero...

You should be able to check your order status at HTC.com. It will tell you if its been cancelled. I did it with mine before i switched to Amazon.

Just pre-ordered my Solar Red. The last HTC phone I bought was the M9, and I'm currently using a Nexus 6 as my daily driver, so this is going to be one heck of an upgrade. I refused to compromise on the color I really wanted this time and I'm glad I waited. I used the coupon code for the $50 off, plus I'll be trading up my M9 another $60 ($110 total discount). Now the waiting game commences.

So glad you are getting the colour you want and that you were able to get a sizeable discount! Wahoo! Let us know when your shiny solar red HTC U11 arrives!

Just got charged for the red version pre order. Looks like it'll be shipping either today or day/two max

Mine too: Pending fulfilment. I ordered the protective leather case (white as this was the only colour available). I had read mid-July estimates but, who knows, maybe by week's end? But then there is my American friends holiday in there too. Happy 4th of July!

Same with me too. Hopefully, we will have the phone before the week ends

I spoke to the agent and he insisted it will be by 15th July!! Inspite of the cc being already charged..
Ignoring him of course

Yes they are clueless don't bother them calling, even for the initial release they were adamant it'll ship June 15th and we had ours around June 8th and funny thing even after people received the phones they were still sticking to it'll ship on June 15th

I was really curious about whether Amazon would get their stock later than HTC, but looks like it's the same. Looks like you'll probably get your phone before me now. Kinda sucks since I have Amazon Prime, but I guess the $50 savings helps. Hoping we all get our phones soon!

Anyone know if the Red Solar color ever looks orange at all?

According to videos and reviews yes it looks orange in some light. That's the beauty of it, many shades of red/orange etc. Should be unique.

Yeah have amazon prime as well, would have gone with amazon if not for $50 off. I think it's worth it go with HTC direct for the $50 off.

I did like the savings, but if I have to return it for any reason, Amazon is just easier to deal with IMO. I have had some challenging interactions with HTC for returns in the past. IJS

Yep FedEx labels have been created for HTC.com orders. You will know if you have FedEx delivery manager or just use FedEx track by reference, for reference number put your order number followed by -01 and then destination country US, put your zip code, ship date as today and it'll pull up tracking info if there is label created.

I haven't gotten any email from HTC yet or status changed in HTC site but have FedEx label created for ship date is today and delivery this Friday.
