Says it's in stock on their website.
I happen to be going to Newry on Monday anyway so I'll have a look at them, don't think I'll be buying one though, probably going to wait for something else.

Currys/Pcworld have both models on their site and also have plenty of stores up north so I was thinking maybe giving them a call to check availability and heading up.

Picked up the small one in Newry. Just called and asked what was in stock. Couple different shops in Newry to choose from.

So far I think the software integration makes it a really smooth experience.

I ordered on the google play store using tunnel bear and used a revolut card with the address set as the parcel motel address. Got my shipment notification today so hopefully have it either Saturday or monday

Took that advice and it worked, thanks! How long did Parcel Motel take once receiving it? Mine got signed on Saturday and it's still not even checked in my parcelmotel account. Not calling them yet since it was the weekend but if it's not in my account by today EOB I'll start worrying with such an expensive phone.

PM is slow these days, took longer than 1 working day to get from Finglas to my motel

Did they have both colours? Think I'm gonna head up to the one in Armagh Road , Newry provided they have the black model in stock.

I got the black model. They acted like I was the first one to get it.

I called Curry's and they checked for me.

Cheers. How are you finding the phone so far?

Keith186 · 24-10-2016 03:39PM

I found both sizes on display in EE in Newry.
Black model looked much better than the white one IMO. White looked tacky on the back.

Do you know per chance if they had the official google cases there?

Mine was signed for Friday morning, and was in my local locker on the Saturday morning. Hopefully you'll get it soon

They did have two types of cases. I think they started at 30 sterling though. Unfortunately, I didn't ask if they were the official cases.

So far I really like it! I like the little details and the speed. Not used to talking to my phone except in the car. Although the assistant is much better than my old Moto X when connected to the Bluetooth.

Hey there
Can you tell me if yours has the 24/7 phone and chat buttons and also are you having any wifi problems?
My one won't stay connected keeps jumping between wifi and mobile, driving me nuts.
Could you also tell me what your software build no is, mine is NDE63H
Cheers

Hi,
I have the same build number you do. No chat or phone buttons. I tried using a VPN service to log into a UK server. Still no buttons though. My Wi-Fi connected both at work and home without issue. Haven't tried an AC router though.

LeeroyJ. · 26-10-2016 04:10PM

Probably US only, like everything else.

Emmo-m- · 27-10-2016 09:53AM

So none of Currys/PCworld have the phone in stock. You can only order online for collection in store as the stock is in their warehouse.

But you cannot have one sent to a store for collection without purchasing with UK card first.

Feck, really? Surprised it's selling out to be honest!

Apparently Google are pretty surprised by the popularity.

I'm currently resisting the urge by telling myself I'd essentially be paying €800 for software, since the hardware is no better than what i currently have. Reading people rant online about how overpriced it is also helps

Interesting.

Wonder will a Revolut card work for it?

Although then you may as well order from the google store and get a PM I guess.

It's not that its sold out , its just that they only have stock in central warehouse , so you have to order and pay with UK card ,then they deliver to a store of your choice.

Revolut card might be the way but I've not used one before.

LeeroyJ. · 27-10-2016 11:35AM

Revolut works, with the Google Store, C. warehouse and currys dont accept it.

Do you know why they dont accept it? If you use a UK address on the Currys site and revolut card details would that not work?

Google are really making it harder each year to get their phones.

Gone for a Oneplus 3 instead. You are basically just paying for a VR-abled phone with the Pixel.

LeeroyJ. · 28-10-2016 11:23AM

There is one on Adverts, can't link but it's a really really good deal. If anyone wants one, you should go for it.
