Just picked up an S6 in Black in Carlow for €400.

I used the Quick Pay machine but just be careful because the €10 voucher didn't print out but the guys behind the counter gave me one when I mentioned it.

Those who nabbed the S6 get a 6 month subscription to Google Play Music gratis.

But by the looks of it, Google Play has to be activated on the handset by Nov 1st & the offer redeemed by Dec 1st.

I have a reservation for a Black S6 in Sligo.. no idea if misprice is valid there or not!

First PM gets it though.

When I checked with the girl, left and got credit card and went back and bought it there was no question about the price but when I returned 10 minutes later to buy a second €400 phone there was a curious look of why the credit card wasn't in my name(wifes name). :D:D

400 for a phone though. This time next year they will be worth half that.

And you buy a car for a few thousand and it looses some value in a year.

A laptop is worth very little after a year.

Nobody will give you anything for a pair of runners that you've used everyday for a year

Even though your second name is Kenny that's a good answer

The argument is stupid, it is like saying why spend money on food 🍔🍟 when it is going to come out as sh!t 💩 in the morning 🤔

Fair point.

I use a phone for phoning people mainly , maps youtube and facebook. Might even play the odd game of candy crush....

A 45 euro motorola moto e does all that with ease.

I would think most s6 users do the exact same but pay big money for it.

Different types of phones marketed at different people. And I'd say most people use their phones as cameras as well.

The S6 has a better battery, faster processor, better screen, bigger screen, better camera and is on a newer version of Android, it will also get more updates than the Motorola. It is also made from much more premium materials, ie glass and metal over plastic.

Think of it this way a fiat punto will do the same as Audi a4. One costs a lot more than the other, but one is a far superior car.

Is this phone ****e still going on? Can you take it to pm's? This is for BA's, not general chat about an already overpriced phone because of its brand name.

Too right. The Punto is a mighty yoke.

The problem was somebody saying that a phone which could be got for over €100 or 20% less than the next cheapest place was not a bargain alert when clearly it ****ing is.

That is all.

Anyone got a reservation code for anywhere in Dublin for S6 they are not gonna use ?

What happened to 'no code requests'?

Sorry didn't realise there was such a thing .. Accept my apologies ..

Berty

Seeing as i have both the s6 and a galaxy galaxy something or other worth not much there is a massive difference.

The speed of the device is the most noticeable then screen size resolution camera storage weight.

A cheaper alternative is just that.

Did anyone manage to get an S6 at reduced price today?
