*Sigh* I emailed last Friday to be told my dispatch was yesterday, I guess mine won't dispatch until next week at this stage

I found it light compared to my htc one-s and maybe cheaper built than it also

Interesting, I got the N4 to replace my one-s. While technically the one-s is slightly heavier i think, in the hand the N4 does seem a bit heavier and more expensively built.

I have to say I do like the way the screen switches off when you tap the power button, just like ye old goode tellys of yesteryear :-) but I do miss HTC sense, especially the smilies and the carriage return button while texting :-(

I must have a look a them again side by sice. I liked the metal body of the one-v better compared to the N4, not that the N4 is disappointing!

The power button and screen response is great :cool: I missed a few things also from sense, smillies also being one. What carriage button do you mean?

Thought I'd have mine tomorrow. looks like I wont.

Is it down to LG/Google and lack of phone or is it that we are using a middle man?

If there is a decent supply of phones my brother in law is coming home from the states on the 5th. Might ask him to bring one home. Might be quicker

Tried it out on the one-s for a month and hated it with avengence.

Anyway around it with the stock keyboard?

Not sure, it comes direct from Google so probably them unless Flubit take ages to process the request or wait until they have a batch to all process at once.

No idea sorry, I've never used a HTC for more than a few minutes as I hate Sense.

OK, so I should get mine next Tuesday or Wednesday going by that, the bank holiday in the UK on Monday and the bank holiday here next Monday wouldn't have helped things either.

Still no order update. They missed yesterdays ship date

Well if my my N10 order is anything to go by it could be shipped. They told me it was shipped and gave me the tracking number a day or so after I got it from the parcel motel!

That does not fill me with confidence about Flubit!

No update on mine either so I sent another message but no response so far, they were much quicker in responding to my initial message.

jozi

Stop stressing lads, it's gonna turn up sooner or later!

I emailed Flubit for a tracking no and was told it wasnt them I had to contact, by the time I got a reply from the other crowd I had already received the N4

I was the same with mine when I ordered and was expecting it. I got a msg/email at 9pm Fri evening to say I could collect it from PM so it may yet come for you!

Was that the date they gave you or a guesstimate based on others experience? Going by mine and a few others experience you should have the phone in 2 weeks after paying.

Don't fret, its an amazing phone and worth the wait!

I have just received the dispatch notice... 13 days after I paid.

It should be with pm on Monday, hopefully in Dublin on Monday or Tuesday evening.

With Flubit it varies between €330-340 inc. Parcel Motel.

Is it worth it?? Taking in the build quality and no expandable storage?
Plus the hassle of getting it here?

I'd have to say definitely. You won't find a better phone for the money. And 2 weeks between payment and delivery...as others have said, it's worth the wait. That's my opinion. It's a fantastic phone, easily worth double what you'd pay for it, so long as 16GB is enough for you to manage. For me it's plenty! Most of my music is on the Google Play cloud which saves a lot of space.

For the people that used flubit they don't know the meaning of the word hassle :P before flubit came along I had over a month and a half of hassle to get my hands on an n4. Then when flubit came along I bought one for my mother and had hers in 2 weeks :pac:
