Is there a Vodafone logo on the back or a splash screen on startup?

Or any Vodafone apps installed by default?

ImportMeHappy

No logo on start-up (or shutdown), my Vodafone was installed but it throws an error on start-up so I just uninstalled it. No branding anywhere that I can see, seems clear of Vodafone muck.I've some old htc apps that won't uninstall though! (Ported from a htc 10 on three)
Phone is great, love it so far, camera is really something and the identify background music is cool

For anyone new to Pie takes a little bit of practice to make the most of the new gestures, this site has a quick overview ..

I'm hating the new volume control options, if you want to adjust anything other than call volume it brings you into settings :mad:

Is that true? Is it PayG? If that is the case I might try to cancel my preorder and get one for 100 euro off. How much did you pay in the end. Can you test if it is unlocked to other networks

It's on a red connect plan, 60 euro a month for 24 months. 150 for the handset.

Was this Prepay?

Also can you check if its unlocked? Also was it resealed by VF , with a sticker on the side of box saying Black?

It was resealed by Vodafone

There is quite a vibration from the speakers. Its not bad but it's noticable on the fingers while holding the back of the phone.

Can you try if phone is working with other network sim. Please. You’ll do us a great favor.

One more working day and Vodafone can keep it. Nothing scalds my shîte more than pushed out delivery dates, especially when there's zero communication from the seller.

I had a 3 sim in it there. Data and calls worked perfectly. Looks like it's unlocked.

Great. That is good news lol. I don’t know when my 128 gb not pink will be shipped though

Has anyone got a white or not pink version from Vodafone? It seems like the different colours are taking longer.

I'm waiting on a pre-order of a white XL.   Vodafone chat said this morning that it should be delivered within 5 working days ... I'll believe it when I see it :getlost:

I emailed vodafone about cancelling order if I won't receive it any sooner and this is their reply:

We're sorry about the delay. The team have advised that as there is an issue with your order and it will need to be cancelled. We're sorry for this inconvenience.

We'll confirm when the order has been cancelled.

Of course, I was just kidding about canceling it, so like I just emailed them back to cancel my cancel request

Where did you email? The one with my order confirmation is from a no-reply address so I assume it's not monitored.

Cancelling would be perfect and I can order it from Google who are showing stock.

So all the time, I was just waiting from nothing. Vodafone is beyond shocking. Unbelievable!

Vodafone: Unfortunately, as there is a technical issue with the order, the handset will not be dispatched. It will need to be cancelled so that the handset can be re ordered.

Me: What do you mean? Can it not be solved internally? You mean I should wait for it to be canceled, wait for the money to be reimbursed to my bank, then order again. This could take a month!

Vodafone: Yes unfortunately this is the case. We'll try and get this sorted for you as soon as possible.

Just a waste of time folks! waste of time

Was the issue the phone not being black or something else?

That is racist

Kidding aside. I think they have no supply. When you go to their website it says out of stock. You can not order anything other than black 64 GB variant.

I don't really mind either, I just slightly preferred white and they were pre-ordering all at the same price. If they'd turned around and offered a black instead I'd probably have took it at this stage.

Is Call Screening not available in Ireland? What other new Pixel 3 features aren't?

Only available in the US at the moment, should be coming to other region's...can't think of others that aren't

I'd say it's one that we won't ever see. There's not even an Irish assistant voice after years, though hopefully them selling them here will see more features without workarounds.

So has anyone had delivery of a phone from Vodafone in the last couple of days or is it just people who have picked them up in the shops? I assume they've only sent out black ones?

Nothing for me. They won't give an ETA and they won't cancel.
