    Just as long as they aren't expecting some iOS only app/game to be available on Android then you're golden.

    Definitely. But it's also a massive change to an iPhone 4s

    It's a MUCH larger phone. Will probably take 2 hands to use most of the time.

    Also it might take your other half a while to get used to Android over iOS but you're putting her on the right path :cool:

    Didn't see any sign of this in Galway today, stocks must be low.

    Only negative I have to say about it is its a bit slippy in the hand but I'm buying a case for it anyway which should hopefully sort that problem. Other than that I can't really fault it.

    They've one sitting on the carousel display by the door if you just wanted to get a feel for its size etc. Not switched on and you can't pick it up and play with it though....

    I think I'll buy this soon to replace my S4 which has had a smashed screen for almost a year now. Seems like an absolute bargain. And I can finally get back to stock android after dealing with Samsung ****e for almost 2 years now.

    After having this phone for a day now and I played with it a lot to find only one problem. I guess this could be sorted out with a software update but the camera is quite poor in darker conditions. In good bright situations its the business but you really have to put the camera in manual mode and play with the settings to get the best if it. Manual focus is best, the auto mode is hit and miss but not a disaster either. I'm gonna try google camera and see how that compares. The front 5mp camera is excellent and I could selfie all day with it.

    All my important apps like Viber, whattsapp, Skype, 'temple run :p' all work flawlessly thank god. Multitasking is great on this, stuff doesn't close in the background like the old Moto G's did. Its a steal I'd recommend anyone get this if your budget is under €200, you cannot go wrong it. You'll be laughing!

    I also have an iphone4 on Bill pay with Three and am due an upgrade however they are quoting lotto numbers for an iphone 5 or 6.

    Can I purchase this and use the sim from my iphone 4 or do I have to change to ' pay as you go' account.

    Get the Ultra 6 and cancel your bill with three. Get a nano sim from 48months and for a tenner a month you can get 300 minutes, unlimited texts and 1GB data.

    Just buy it on payg as as a new connection. Throw that Vodafone sim away. Buy the unlock code from eBay. Go into a 3 store and ask for a nano sim replacement. They'll give ya one foc. Then pop the new 3 sim in and input the unlock code and away ya go.

    I have an excellent deal with three on the pay monthly account as it's a business account and there a few phones on it so don't want to move. I just checked and have a micro sim. Can I get a nano sim from three and continue with my pay account with them.
    Sorry for the stupid questions but not very up to date on these phones, sims etc.

    Sure, just ask them send you out a nano sim (or get one in a store) and get them to transfer your number to it.

    You can be creative and try modify the case abit. You could make some cut outs for the buttons. Better then no case. Vodafone told me they would be getting cases for these phones in on Friday. EBay hasn't been a help for cases at all for me. IPhone 6 screen protector fits well though. Check dealz or Mr price and see if you can get one there for 1 or 2 snots.

    Picked one up in Navan today, just set it up now and looks impressive. Got unlock code from OP link, delivered quickly. Got a message from 48 saying they did not recognise the handset and to input the settings manually. Took a chance and had the settings for ZTE Blade S6 sent and they work fine for the data. Getting rid of the Vodafone crap as we speak. :)

    Thanks again OP.

    I get a day and a half from my current phone.

    3000mAh batteries are the way to go!
