Good review of the phone here. For those that might not be aware you can buy mods for the Moto Z which means you can clip on alternative backs which transform it with a bigger battery, a projector etc. They are covered in the video.

Only thing stopping me upgrading my OPO to this is the smaller capacity battery. Absolutely crucial!

GustavoFring · 26-02-2017 03:56PM

Out of stock when I tried to buy. Would have been a great bargain.

Basq · 26-02-2017 03:58PM

^ Still in stock for me!

You can add the big battery to it as a clip on.

Basq · 26-02-2017 04:01PM

^ Looks to be about an extra hundred quid for that though!

Says in stock until I try checking out. Probably a good thing, don't need a 4th phone

It will be interesting to see if a community forms around this phone as they are releasing a developers kit which means you could see all sorts of weird and wonderful addons in the future. While I really like the idea behind this, technology in the phones themselves moves so quick that it becomes hard to build a proper community around stuff like this as people move phones so often, unless all future generations are backwards compatible to previous models mods. Moto have said they will be but I wonder how long that will last, if at all.

All gone now anyway if one of the mods could mark as OOS.

Yeah, ordered it around half one, Paypal payment with Parcel Motel as the delivery address, it was cancelled at about 8pm for failing to pass their security checks. So I had just enough time to get excited about cases and Moto Mods before my dream was crushed... Anyone every ordered off JL successfully before that I can learn from?

Got a Moto 360 off them last year. Paid with Visa Debit and delivered to Parcel Motel without issues.

new regs on Li Ion batteries only really affect batteries that are not part of a device, so shipped solo or as part of a power bank. Shouldn't affect a phone. I'm thinking I didn't put my PM id into a subtle enough position

Just got an email, back in stock @ £500 :pac:

WhiteMemento9 · 17-03-2017 06:09PM

No confirmation email....have a feeling i may have messed something with my autocomplete!

If it goes through, I'm gonna have to sell my 10. Still planning on getting the S8.

Got a text from my bank account me to confirm purchase, so here's hoping.

I resisted the last time but I couldn't let it go this time :P

The email order confirmation for it took about 15 minutes to come through after I bought it.

I bought the PLAY direct from Moto through Parcel Motel so it shouldn't be a problem. Unless of course they cancel all orders if this is some kind of website glitch.

WhiteMemento9 · 17-03-2017 07:24PM

Just got a cancellation email

It must be something to do with using PM as I haven't seen anyone on HUDK getting one?

Weird as I bought the G4 Play from them a few months ago no problem and they have already taken the money from my bank account.

Did you use PayPal? I used my card this time but I notice I used PP the last time, I tempted to give it another go with PP.

Yeah, joke. Let me know if you get the cancellation again.

What's your PayPal address? An Irish one?
