    Not on sale in all retailers yet. Spread across a few hours. According to Elephone.hk there are 15000 on sale this morning. There was only 9000 on the first sale.

    I didn't go through that link, but looked on another site and they had 2 options one for 229 and lower down the page for 159.

    Once this sale is gone, which nobody seems to have stock on, they will just delete the listings for the lower priced and keep the higher priced ones listed.

    It's probably a case of each retailer only having a handful even at this price. If anything they are marketing it very well and will be a popular phone and hopefully lower the cost in the coming weeks! If I don't get one at the lower price I wont be too upset.

    I was the same, Got to a certain point and the website crashed and now showing error 404.
    I am not sure but it seems to be a bit of a lottery and to get people onto specific websites.
    I am still tempted to buy one the the normal price, Works out to be €250 including delivery using DHL rather than Singapore post. The only thing i am worried about is the actual size of the phone. It is alot bigger that my existing phone.

    €250 for this phone landed is just too much in my book. That kinda money buys you a second hand one plus one, a proven phone that we all know will perform well, or a slightly older HTC / Samsung flaghship model

    €150 is a different ball game imho

    You can even pick up a used Xperia Z2 for around €200 nowadays which has very high end specs. Those phones seem to get overlooked a lot.

    Exactly .. I see many other phones in around this price, albeit not as good spec but in and around what the P7000 is. But if I got one at €150 id be pleased.

    Looks like I got one. From allbuy.com. Just paid with PayPal, so that gives peace of mind. €142. Hopefully I'll have it in the next month or so :p

    Do remember that if the phone gets caught by customs you will pay €0 import duty (value under €150) + 23% VRT (€33) and possibly and admin fee of €6

    So €181 all in worst case scenario and €142 best case scenario

    Anywhere actually have these in stock and ready to ship?

    Smashed the screen of my 1st. gen Moto G last night and was going to spring for a One Plus One until I saw this thread.

    You'll be doing well to get one at the lower price. Even at the higher price there doesn't seem to be much stock around - it only went on (pre)sale on Monday. It wont fully go into general sales for a few weeks.

    Cheers, I wasn't expecting to get it at the lower price, more that if I was going to pay the full price I would like to know that it would be despatched immediately.

    I does however bring it a lot closer to the price of the One Plus especially if it gets hit by customs although for me it would be a case of comparing the price of the 64Gb One plus against the P7000 due to its SD card lot which makes it not so bad.

    Kind of annoying that you got one to checkout stage but had no intention of buying obvously ( you could have checked out the shop before the sale). I wasn't able to get one even to checkout stage and I would have bought it.
