    The only problem I have is that ejecting/inserting the SIM card seems to be a bit of a chore needing a safety pin or a needle on standby. OK for a junkie but not for the most of us! Is it really that difficult to change a SIM card with this phone?

    Get yourself one of these, it has a pin in it:

    http://www.amazon.co.uk/Victorinox-Jelly-Swiss-Card-Lite/dp/B0002IK7XU/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1387989430&sr=8-1&keywords=Swiss+card+lite

    Bought one recently and it is the most handiest thing ever, especially if you work in I.T.

    Even though the screwdriver is very flat I have yet to find a screw that the philips head cant open, the battery for the LED is replaceable too.

    How often do you need to eject your sim card? Its not hard at all, anything with a point will do eg. toothpick, etc. If you are desperate you'll find a way.

    I paid through Amazon but saw before I left the page of scan that delivery date is Tuesday 31st. I got confirmation from Amazon. Maybe scan is a bit slow in confirming payment as it is christmas?

    aye thats what i thought myself so i didn't try ordering another. I also get an error when looking up the sales history on my account, but i'd say thats normal as its christmas.

    I sent them an e-mail anyway, will just have to wait i guess.

    There was an Amazon logo mentioning the option to pay through them as well on the scan site at checkout. If you click on it you are directed to a separate screen where you have to login in Amazon itself. This was working perfectly for me. I received an Amazon confirmation just like paying on Amazon itself.

    On Amazon.co.uk the nexus 4 is priced at 270 pounds so the 130 + shipping and some VAT is not a bad bargain! Cant wait for my bargain to arrive next week even though it is for my missus!!

    Nexus 7 is also cheaper cause it is the tablet and last years model. The nexus 4 is the phone version of google, also last years model.

    Its on the bottom right. Comes to £135 by that method. No radio is a killer for me.

    It says this on the Order History page
    "Important note: We do accept orders 24/7 through our online ordering system - however if you have ordered over the weekend please bear in mind your order may not update through email confirmations, Parcel Tracking or My Account section until midday on Monday."

    So I'd assume that applies to holidays too.

    hmm, following your comment I just had a proper look on the scan site. It seems that they sell mainly bits and pieces for phones and not the actual phones themselves. If these guys are coming back from their holidays and see the orders for the bit of supply they have ... give myself not that much hope anymore :mad:

    Tempted.

    What else would be as good as the Nexus between 150 - 200 euro?

    Moto G?

    Moto G isn't as good as the nexus, although it does have a better battery life. There is plenty of reviews comparing the 2 if you just google it.

    but i'd say the chance of this being fulfilled has gone from very slim, to non existent.

    Off to look for more comparisons, China me thinks.
