The one phone this year that got released that I said I wanted and I can't have it. Seems like there are so many manufacturers but none of them meets my needs and wants in some way or the other.
Got a tip for us?

Wow! Last proper flagship of the year and the most tempting by far to second guess my 8 Plus! Argh! 
FFS.
Just browsing YouTube and clicked on a recommended vid which was the U11+ review from Android Central.
Why why why.
Looks like it could be one of the best Androids of 2017 with that spec sheet and design (my opinion).

It probably would have been, but LCD made it unable to support DayDream requirements. Too bad Google couldn’t offer it anyway. Maybe this phone with OLED will be the Pixel 3. I could get on board with that.
I was looking at this... ya'know... for 'curiosity' purposes only... 
It seems for the UK, it is only available direct from HTC?
Seems strange. Normally CarPhoneWarehouse, if anyone, end up stocking most devices (even niche ones that networks won't touch) but the U11+ doesn't seem to have any support - unless HTC have purposely made it that way.
Maybe they don't have a huge supply of them?

interesting... you'd think they'd want to make some sales!

Agreed.
Also, just read that there are no plans to bring any other colour other than 'black' (not the translucent one) to the UK either.
What exactly is their aim with this device I wonder?

not sure at all. HTC is definitely an enigma these days. I loved the U11 and really want the U11+ but they don't really provide a good and clear path for many to purchase their phones. Maybe next year they'll get it right? Maybe the U12 (Who knows what they'll call it, their naming scheme isn't very clear) will be the U11+ plus the 845 chip and other improvements and be sold everywhere!
I would buy this in a heartbeat if i could get it from HTC's website for warranty p
I almost bought a U11 Plus from Amazon. But it comes with no warranty......so I'm a little hesitant to say the least. They don't even sell it on their website.
Not sure what HTC are playing at with this phone but appears like something is going awry.
The phone has showed as ‘preorder’ on their U.K. website now for over a month and when you click to preorder it shows as out of stock so it can’t be purchased. It also says ‘shipping in December’ and has done since it went up for preorder and continues to say it now in January...
Glad I didn’t order it from them as it almost sounds Essential orders level of annoying haha although not that bad!
Still one I have a keen eye on. In a way, it’s probably a good thing it isn’t easily available here as I’d likely go out of my way to get it.

I really wish this phone made it to the states. I like what they've done with the squeeze feature. And I love that translucent back plate!

To the states? My country is on the list to receive HTC u11+. They said release date is on 15.12.2017.
Well, to this day, no one is selling this phone. And HTC doesn't respond to email if they will ever sell it.
HTC is almost dead. And it's a shame, since they make really great phones. But availability isn't there, their marketing is probably done by 2 year olds, etc.

True. They botched this release all together. Pretty sad
EDIT: Maybe they're holding off for the SD845 and then turn it into the U12 (or whatever they'll call the next iteration)?

Yeah I have a feeling they’re gonna unveil the U12 sooner rather than later.
Seems like they shouldn’t have even bothered with the U11 Plus, especially when they could have got by using it as the U12 by adding a new processor. It’s that much better on paper than the original U11 people would have likely been interested.
