Not seeing black as available on Amazon, Asus are saying they'll 'Do their best to ship them this week'. 17 hours to order Silver and recive on Thursday.....which based on our orders really means Wednesday.......

Yeah they still seem to be awaiting stock of the black 4gb/32 gb. I,m really tempted now to cancel with asus and get the silver one from amazon. Its just that i already paid french-office for another month,but i guess i could write that off.

How much do FrenchOffice charge per month? Your call, the black doesn't seem to be available anywhere right now anyway. Whatever about the impatience factor, Amazon really do offer a good few advantages over Asus Dircetly.

Yeah that sucks. Bpm-Lux only got 10 quid from me but for nothing. If you order from Amazon your guaranteed to have it this week.

I'm not sure about FrenchOffice but Amazon ended up about 20/25 more expensive than BPM for me. I think it's worth it just for the ease of returns, insured delivery, fast dispatch.

I'd say Asus will have to get through them in the next week or two with the US launch coming up, if you wait it out you (hopefully) won't be waiting too long.

The delivery cost using frenh office would be between €20 to €30 so it's not really that much extra with Amazon

I think I could do the review now. I've read so much about it at this stage

Sure thing, Battery & Camera seem to be the only potential problems so far. Battery seems to be very subjective, a lot of the people complaining are people claiming to have gotten 2+ days out of their previous phones. 4+ hours Screen On Time and I'll be happy. Camera on the M7 was nothing to brag about either so I feel like it'll be an all round upgrade for me.

Going to be interesting to see how I feel about the Plastic/Size.

SubatomicKiwi

Extremely happy with the phone, feels very nice in the hand and is very responsive. Lemme know if you have any questions!

droidman123

my futile resistence just collapsed:eek: just cancelled on asus and ordered on the 4gb/32gb silver on amazon Italy:) it says I should have it by Thursday,but if I get it by Friday I will be happy.

Crimsonforce

does it shoot 4K video? cant see any links anywhere of 4k video..
4 k video is 3840 x 2160

if so how file size of the 4k video?

does it have slo motion on recording mode?

SubatomicKiwi

Only worry so far is temperature. Seeing temps of 40 during set up/charging. Doesn't seem to be anything major though.
