    Thats the thing, it says expected signal. I know for a fact that kilmainham, ballyfermot, certain parts of mullingar, a few places in cavan & carlow, that show up on the map as saying expected signal is good, they arent, well not when i used them. as i said best to try the free sim cards from suppliers then see the signal first before committing to a deal from them.

    The map above shows outdoor coverage for all services not 4g, for a more realistic map you need to select indoor and 4g only and even then its optimistic.

    Without PMs and just posting invitation codes up means anyone and not just boards members will take and use them.

    One Plus send out invite links to buy the phone that people can share and they have a time limit on them if you don't get an invite you have to wait for specific times to be able to buy one where they open it up for a day or two for purchase without an invite.

    It really is superb I have been using one since November I've been using flagships for years and other than the camera I find it as good as any of them and the first in ages to get a day of heavy usage on one charge.

    Yep, posted in the other thread for an invite. Will definitely take the plunge.

    €50 up after the week at Cheltenham so am using that as an excuse! :o

    I bought one for himself also upgrading from Nexus 4 .
    It was a great phone but old and slow now .
    I will let you know how it compares .

    I though postage was very expensive .18.99 or 19.99 express .

    Better specs certainly, but the S4's screen and camera are much better. You can't beat SuperAMOLED for media.

    Got an invite over on the official forum quite easily to be honest.

    S5 for the better screen, and expandable storage. Also waterproofing if that matters to you.

    Are people really using more than 64GB of storage in their phone?

    Ignoring value I would go for S5 probably. I switched from using Xperia Z series phones and the one thing I have really been missing is the waterproofing! Had got used to not worrying about using the phone in the rain or having it in the shower! Seems a small thing but it does come in handy.

    My contract is almost up with VF.
    Would go with the OPO but no 4G is putting me off.
    Will 4g work with meteor if I switched to them on Sim only?

    I use one with Meteor/eMobile and it works fine. Speeds in Dublin are superb I have found it a bit iffy outside of Dublin think it really depends on where you.

    how would Oneplaus compare with the Xiaomi Rednote for €170ish, what would I be paying an extra €130 for if I went for the oneplus?

    The camera is probably the weakest part of it imo. Before it came out the camera samples looked amazing especially in low light maybe I have just messed up my settings but I find it really struggles in low light conditions and even in good light conditions the pictures look nowhere near as good as on the Z1C my wife uses.

    Can't comment on a comparison to the rednote as have never used one.

    I find the camera excellent quality especially the front facing camera. Compared to iphones especially there is no comerisan. One plus beats it hands down

    Go into settings on the camera and scroll across to general you can reset the settings to default from there.

    Will be looking for a new phone around June time. Is the 1+1 likely to drop further with the newer one released? €300 Max is the mostnid spend and unlikely to get newer model for that.

    The OnePlus Two won't be released by June, so no to put it shortly.

    Its already by a mile, the best phone for price/performance so I can't see the price coming down very much at all in the near future.

    Happy to pay the €300 then. I've waited along time to be able to get one of these.
    Roll on June.

    It will work with any network. It is unlocked straight from the factory.

    Just be sure to check your networks 4G bands, but 3G will work on any network without issue.
