I did order mine at 11:00 on the dot ;-) if you ordered much later than that you can't always get it next day, I used to deal with courier companies alot in my last job an they were always funny about times on Fridays so it might not be expansys fault's! I remember having to pay £40 odd postage the once to get something down to London from shropshire before tea time, an it was almost 1pm ;-)

Expansys offer
I also took advantage of the expansys offer, and had next day delivery. Still waiting for the handset to arrive. Not looking likely now.
Glad to hear that someone has managed to get theirs.

The E63 comes with a dark (business) and light (personal) theme. I switched between the two during the review etc,

Which theme?
Steve, which theme are you using in your review - the dark background one with the light text?

Thank you Tzer2 that was a good idea, I just fired off a quick email to nokia querying the non-shipment status. I was pilot but thought I would be a little cheeky an ask about the delivery charge based on the nokia uk shop still advertising the E63 as ready to ship.
As of today that is 1 week since I ordered, I will update when I receive my new toy!

I would contact them just to make sure they have your order, can't hurt to get a confirmation.

I ordered from the nokia uk store, will be my first contract free unbranded handset. I am chuffed it's £200 retail in the uk, we usually get stung.

Pilotpaul, which shop did you order from? You mentioned Expansys but wasn't sure if you'd actually used them.

@Willamoni: 8-) Well, by modern (iPhone/G1/N95) standards, 2 working days IS an eternity!

Good job Steve.
Loved the way you described the battery as powering the device for eternity and in the next sentence defined that as 'easily two working days'.

I want one of these, as in three months ago to replace a rubbish s40 slide 6500!
Well I have already ordered mine last thursday (the 8th Jan) an I still haven't recieved a shipping email, they still haven't taken any money or sent an order dispatch despite sending an automated email saying they received the order.
I expect they will drag their feet on this one, 3-5 days shipping was the option with no notice of back order, if they take too long I may moan about the shipping fee!
Does anyone actually have any idea when they plan on supplying them, end of the month? I noticed expansys quotes a date of the 30th Jan
Paul.

I dont like messing about with BT headphones. I do however hate 2.5mm jacks, which anything bar this phone and N series seem to have (ok, and the tube).
When will Nokia realise there is many people who want the E series to have a phone or 2 that has a camera to match the N series phones?
They made some interesting hardware choices on this, some I dont understand.

This phone is expensive in Australia. The E71 is now $550AUD while the E63 is $450AUD. Why would you bother. This whole 3.5 stereo input line is lame, haven't people heard of bluetooth headphones?

I'm really tempted to get this. It would make an excellent 2nd phone for me. I've never really liked qwerty devices enough to own one. But this, at this price point, with that huge battery, and wifi, is just perfect. To all those who doubt Nokia's future in the smartphone world, seriously, are there anything out there that can match this at this price?
