Just bought one myself for my son, 196 using revolut. Should be 191 but Amazon tacked on 4 pound for some reason.

Think it's something to do with applying Irish VAT

Yes. Irish vat is higher.

Have a look at the Xiaomi Mi A2 or A1 while your on there its a better phone and is built on Android One. Google give you unlimited cloud storage for pictures and videos on android one

Hi, is it the correct processor, is the description incorrect?

I have that myself and its perfect with my mi max 2 but I'm looking for a more traditional style watch along the lines of the Samsung gear(or the gear itself). I just want one that works well with the note 5.

I have spare end pieces if they don't send them to you

My second GKK case arrived today, they wouldn't ship extra end pieces. Did you ever find your spare pieces?

It was 11/11 Order, my other case (ZNP 360 Degree Case) order which according to tracking was suppose to be on the same flight. Will probably arrive Monday?

The power button broke on mine the other day, so was glad to have ordered another for 3 quid odd on 11.11

Also ordered thethe ZNP you mentioned above, but the GKK has protected the phone well from several falls so far..

The gkk case saved my bacon a few times too. Highly recommend it. Mine cracked with the force of the fall but the phone was perfect inside. Great case

Does it take eglobal long to send out an order? Never used them before but saw a few here used them without issue so I chanced it

Ordered Tuesday still says processing

I ordered a note 5 (4gb ram,64gb rom)a few weeks ago from Amazon but the delivery date was too far away so reordered another one using PW .
The one I ordered a few weeks back arrived today.
Anyone interested in it? Amazon said I could return it,but does anyone here want it as I see the price has gone up in Amazon now.
Paid €200 for it so will let it go €200.

Any problem with this phone?

How come ppl are still buying the note 5 when the note 6 appears to be available now at similar price and slightly better specs?

Anyone gone for the 6 ?

It is only a slight improvement, extra front camera and the famous NOTCH is a feature. That some people probably want to avoid?

yeah, maybe that's the reason. Just curious as I've been away from this thread for a while and thought perhaps there was something wrong with the note 6 that I missed! There is not even a new thread for this model!

One of the boys is looking a replacement for his broken screen RN4, the 6 Pro seems the obvious choice..

*quick update - ordered the RN6 Pro from honorbuy since posting. Phone, glass, TPU & EU delivery €213 all in. Email this am to say it has dispatched.

Any updates on the note 6 I was just going to order the 5 off amazon? Is it worth paying a bit more off amazon than the other sites

The note 6 arrived Monday via DHL (ordered Friday). That's just a fantastic service, as usual, from honorbuy.

Can't say anything about the phone as it's wrapped and under the tree until Christmas day!

17 minutes from order to delivery, that's not bad I suppose.
