Yeah 9th April shipping and 14th-16th delivery for me (Amazon DE) , no payment taken either but presume that’ll be when it’s shipped.

Same here.

Ordered from Belsimpel also and not dispatched, but is the release for the phones not due until the 7th April or something?

Amazon had them as a pre order and not shipping also.

Some people may have got them already, but I would guess that's an early shipping error.

Edit. Amazon. De have them as releasing 9th April....

My order from Belsimpel was dispatched on Friday and has just been delivered.

Did you get a dispatch notice on Friday, or the phone just arrived?

Be interesting to know the updates you got from Belsimpel throughout...

Thanks

Ah now they aren't the worst there's Fastway and and it's a close call if UPS or DHL are worse!

Tempted by the F3 pro but not sure if the camera is good enough for me. Was leaning to pixel 4a 5g for camera and stock android but think long term I'm better to invest in at least a Snapdragon 865 phone.

Was that the F3? Still no sign of mine being shipped - the order status is "The order awaits delivery of one or more products from our suppliers"

Same here waiting of F3 White 256GB to be dispatched.

Today is the official release day for the device, and also the first time Belsimpel have shown any f3 "In Stock" - Black 256GB.

However the 2 128GB are still 2-7days delivery and the White 256GB is "Out of Stock"

But the Black 256 was "out of Stock" yesterday, so there is some hope........

I think (Hope) Dogre shipment was just an early error shipment and they have them all held back and ready to ship today!!

You mean X3 pro? There isn't an F3 pro is there?

Other question - is there a difference between F3 and F3 5g (i.e. is this just a different title, or does one not have 5g) - F3 on Amazon.de for €299 (doesn't deliver to Ireland).

Meant just the F3 added Pro by mistake.

Poco F3 has 5g no version without it. It's confusing especially when some company's use 5g as part of naming scheme.

Still torn Pixel 4a @ €279 is sensible option not overly bothered about 5g support. Oneplus 8T and 8pro @ €650 are tempting me though. Poco F3 specs are amazing for the price especially if you can get it for €300, camera is a deal breaker for me though and reviews say it's decidedly average.

So €299 for the 128gig F3 on Amazon is pretty good value compared to the 256 at €399

Looking around, F3 128gb isn't available for delivery for 299. Best available is 369 from france.

I find it interesting that amazon germany, spain and italy are happy to ship the 256gb version for 399 but "our selected delivery location is beyond seller's delivery coverage for this item. Please choose a different delivery location or purchase from another seller. " when you look for the 128gb 299 version!

My Poco X3 Pro 128GB arrived this morning.. €250 from amazon.de
Its a big chunk of a yoke ...
It was running a bit warm right initially.. maybe just with all the downloading and setting up... not so bad now...
Funny when you put it in the pocket and feel the heat against the leg.. little bit worrying..heh..

In general tho its a responsive yoke... fingerprint reader is instant..

Screen is crazy big compared to my last phone.. (Samsung J5)..
Tried it out using google maps in the car there at lunchtime.. brilliant to have such a big screen for that.

So far so good.. downloading PUBG just to see what it can do...

Got mine this morning from Belsimpel. Mine was running a bit hot also. But great phone, love the screen and the phone feels quite slim compared to my old Redmi 9 Pro.

Interesting - they are saying not in stock but hope to have it soon:

Poco F3 256GB White€ 354,00
Number: 1
Not in stock. We expect to have this product back in stock soon. The expected delivery date is currently unknown. Our customer service doesn't know this date either and can only see the information that's also shown on your order status page. As soon as a date is known, it will be listed here.

No stock of F3 on amazon.de - delivery date went from this week to unknown. Sounds like a major supply delay.

I think I'll bail out and get a Mi 11. Blue is reduced to £699 on Amazon UK.

€699 on Amazon.de! My 8/256 white F3 says "dispatching now" since yesterday, with this Friday as arrival date. I'm not getting my hopes up! Current ETA is 1-2 months which is ridiculous. If it's cancelled I'll probably do the same as yourself, or a couple of other Xiaomi/Oppo phones too.

The 256GB is £699. Amazon.de have the 128 GB for €699.

I normally find when amazon goes dispathing now, it will dispatch. One thing amazon are good at is stock control and status updates. Most orders from Fridays all seem to arrive over Sunday nights, like they have a few containers or trucks ready for the weekend orders.

Best of luck anyway, still holding out for Belsimpel to ship pre order that's now out of stock, let's see how good their stock management is :-(

Thanks, yeah they followed up this afternoon with an email to say it's dispatched. Should be here on Friday but hopefully before hand with priority shipping. Main thing is that it is on the way now.

No harm giving them an email/live chat to see if any updates?

Is it possible to upgrade to the priority shipping ? Was sure I saw a email update from boards.ie earlier saying that but I don't see it in the thread now

Yeah, on Friday I changed from standard to priority for around a euro extra.
