I really hope this isn't true, as mine has been pre-ordered since the 14th September. I have had no warning from Vodafone (release date 27th September) about a delay in the due date...only has a few days until its due so I am sure Vodafone wouldn't leave it last minute and probably have some Torch's in stock at the moment being readied for delivery on Monday.
I see no reason for them to lie about it, they even told me if I see it anywhere else before they do, they will even give me a full refund. They are expecting to be the first suppliers in the uk to get it.
I have pre-ordered through Vodafone and have not heard anything as yet to say there will be a delay. I would hope they would let us know as soon as possible as opposed to on the day.
This probably means nothing as he was trying to get a sale but i posed as a new customer through the online chat feature and asked if the 27th was accurate and not delayed as stated on some websites and was reassured it was. I take that with a pinch of salt though.
I'll wait to hear back from the v-store as i've asked them the same question re my order
wot is RIM doing with the torch... honestly, could all this just be a sign not to get it?!
the poor reviews..
laggy OS with initial release..
now delays in canada and possibly UK...
Hi guys, im 90% sure that vodafone pre-orders will be shipped on the 27th. Vodafone is the only carrier to get the torch on this date. Others will have to wait unfortunately.
i went down to the torch fashion catwalk thing at high street kensington in london last weekend.. (its open till 24th). the torch they had displayed there were on vodafone uk.
the guy there told me orange is releasing it on the 24th
vodafone 27th and o2 sometime in october... he seemed to have a list on him with the dates written on it..
I went into my local Vodafone store but unfortunately there were no Torch's on display. But speaking to two different staff areas of Vodafone, the release date is 27th September.
I don't think in-store Vodafone staff are as up-to-date as the on-line team. I emailed the support team for Vodafone online and they told me the 27th. I then spoke to a chat advisor and they also reassured me it was the 27th. Due to the short amount of time left, they would have told us surely if there was a delay.
Stopped by my local Voda shop, in the hope that they at least had the dummies so I could handle one, check out how the size & weight felt etc.
The manager agreed that the launch had been set for Monday but he said he'd been told that 'that wasn't going to happen' and he thought it would arrive in another couple of weeks.
Nothing that we didn't already know, really, but disappointing nevertheless.

rogers canada announced a delay the day b4 launch lol... nay, on the day of launch!
anything is possible with RIMM.
i've learnt that if they can end-of-life the storm 2 just 9 months after production, they can do anything lol.
