    I am going to purchase this phone but before hand I just want to make double sure that this phone supports the network band here in Ireland.
    I am buying off amazon.de

    Works fine on the network here, WiFi however is not the best but if thats not an issue go for it.
    The NFC works a dream

    Bought mine from eglobal

    Did it work out cheaper on eglobal. Wifi? You mean signal strength?

    Ordered one for my Mrs last week off Amazon.de as well. Delivery due on Monday. She's upgrading from a well beaten and used redmi note 4.

    Ha that's a good one, upgrading from the same phone myself. Wondering would it be better to hold out a week or two as the new Note9 is coming out next week, this phone might go down in price.

    Slightly worrying hearing about the issues with the wifi though after doing a bit of googling

    One thing she wanted was NFC. Which some Xiaomi phone variants have been released without in certain regions (Released in India but not on the global variant). She's not too fussed on the latest and greatest models.

    EDIT
    How did you manage to checkout during payment, because for the life of me the online tool will not accept the parcel motel address I'm entering, saying its an invalid postcode

    I used BT364PE ok but that was at the start of April, it should auto populate area to Antrim and Newtownabbey.
