HTC One Will Arrive In The UK On March 15th On Vodafone, Pre-Order On Clove Now For £425

Posted by Eric Ravenscraft in HTC, News, One

HTC may not be too terribly specific about when it intends to release its newest flagship, aside from a vague March-ish timeline, but Vodafone and Clove are more than happy to fill in the blank space: March 15th is the date. At least if you're in the UK, looking to get this piece of hardware on Vodafone, or order from Clove.

Not only does Clove's ordering site indicate this as the date the first shipments should come in, but Vodafone confirmed the date in a statement to AP. Pre-orders for the carrier's version will begin two weeks prior to release. To wit:

Just a quick note to confirm that Vodafone will be offering the HTC One for sale from 15^th March 2013, with pre-order opening two weeks before.

HTC One SV Goes On Sale In The UK Sim-Free For £349.99

Posted by John Thompson in HTC, News

Following its unveiling last month, HTC's confusingly named One SV has made its way over to British shores, and is now available to purchase SIM-free from Clove for £349.99.

For your money, you'll be getting a 1.2GHz dual-core processor, 1GB RAM and a 4.3-inch display to play your favorite games and watch a few movies on. Unfortunately, the display only has a resolution of 480x800, so it won't be the sharpest looking phone out there.

The One SV is also 4G capable, so if you've been looking forward to trying out the new EE network in the UK, you can do so without tying yourself down to a 24-month contract.

Black 64GB Galaxy S III Shows Up On Clove UK, Said To Be Available 'In Early October'

Posted by Cameron Summerson in Galaxy S III, News

At this point, the black version of the Galaxy S III has abandoned the "rumor" status and moved into the "yes, it's real, and it's coming soon" realm. Further validating that claim, the black GSIII just showed up on Clove UK.

At this point, the only version that Clove has listed is the 64GB variant. We reached out and inquired about 16 and 32GB variants, but they could neither confirm nor deny whether the device will be available with either of those storage options.

Pricing is also unconfirmed at this point, which is why it's listed sans-fee at the moment.

So, when you can have this black beauty for yourself?

Clove UK Opens Up Pre-Orders For HTC's One X, One S, And One V (Due For Launch In April)

Posted by Liam Spradlin in AT&T, News, One S (Ville), One V (Primo), One X (Endeavor), T-Mobile

Just as HTC announced its new One line of Android-powered smartphones, Clove, in an HTC One blog takeover, announced that pre-orders are now open for all three devices. Clove also divulged each device's price, full specs, and expected release date.

HTC One X

The HTC One X, perhaps the most impressive of the new line, is slated for release on April 5th, carrying a price tag of £410.00 (or about $645) not including VAT. On top of its awesome specs (listed in the handy image below), the One X is available in either white or grey. While it appears that the international version of the One X will carry a 1.5GHz quad-core processor, it's worth noting that AT&T's version (which will debut later) will in fact be running with a dual-core Snapdragon S4.

Motorola Motoluxe & Defy Mini Available Now For Pre-Order From Clove; Defy+ JCB Edition Also In Stock

Posted by Abhiroop Basu in Motorola, News

Motorola recently announced two entry-level Android smartphones for the Chinese, European, and Latin American markets, the Defy Mini and the Motoluxe. Both devices are now available for pre-order on Clove, and they are expected to ship in late February/early March.

The Motoluxe is priced at £215 (£258 inc. VAT).

The Defy Mini is priced at £145.83 (£174.99 inc. VAT).

Additionally, Motorola have teamed up with UK-based construction manufacturer JCB to give the "rugged" Defy+ a makeover. The new "Defy+ JCB Edition" is similar, spec-wise, to the earlier Defy+ model, however it now comes cocooned in a "visco-elastic protective sleeve" to make it just a bit more rugged.

Black Sony Xperia S UK Release Date And Price Announced By Clove, Available For Pre-Order Now

Posted by Cameron Summerson in News, Xperia S (Nozomi)

Sony unveiled a couple of new handsets at CES this week - one for the US market (Xperia Ion) and one for the international market (Xperia S). Both are powerful devices and should be the first to be released under the Sony name (not Sony Ericsson), and the latter is now available for pre-order from Clove UK for £467.99 with an expected release at the beginning of March. While the Xperia S will be available in both black and silver, the pre-order is only available for the former, as the latter will be exclusive to Phones4U initially.

Clove Outs June 6 Release Date for LG Optimus 3D In The UK

Posted by Zak Stinson in Devices By Manufacturer, LG, News, Optimus 3D (p920) / Thrill 4G (p925), Rumors

Continuing with the trend of high-end Android devices getting speculative release dates, LG's 3D smartphone, the Optimus 3D, has been given a release date of June 6 by online UK retailer Clove. They say that the device should be on their shelves by that date, but gives the caveat that this information is "subject to change - but accurate at this time."

With a 1GHz dual core processor, 4.3-inch WVGA display and a 5MP dual-lens camera to capture glasses-free 3D content, this is going to be a worthy opponent to the HTC Sensation, which has been rumored to have a June 8th release date.

HTC Flyer Tablet Launching Mid-April In UK, Clove Taking Pre-Orders For £500

Posted by Will Shanklin in Flyer, HTC, News

While there are certainly tablets on the way that are more anticipated than the Flyer, HTC's 7" slate is coming nonetheless - and now we know when. It will launch "mid April," according to UK site Clove, which is now taking pre-orders for the tablet. Accessories that will be available for purchase along with your flyer include a spare digital stylus (£40), a Micro USB to HDMI cable (£24), and a car charger (£17).

Previous rumors suggested the stylus-toting tablet would set one back $600 in the US, and the £500 price point Clove has set totals out to £600 after VAT, so take what you will from that.
