I got mine for 145. Delivered to pm so should have it in 2 weeks max. Hopefully no customs to boot.

That's good, international/global version?

RossieMan · 09-06-2017 06:12PM

global version, 4GB version too.

Hopefully it'll do me a couple of years, the note 2 was great so hopefuly this will continue my Xiaomi run of devices.

You'll do well to get it in two weeks and without customs. Fingers crossed for ya!

Seemingly, my V20 is in now in the UK, but the tracking hasn't updated since Thursday. Grr.

2 weeks is a long time going to the UK to be honest, I'll almost expect it next week everything going well. Customs seems to be a lot more lax in the UK as well.

Normal. There's no difference. Also, make sure you use a discount code. They're always popping up on the site

Why is there no difference?

They are both tracked and insured delivery. I have used both, no difference

EIREDriver · 15-06-2017 11:48PM

Mines currently in UK after coming travelling from Hong Kong via France.
Will update everyone with my experience of buying the V20 from EGlobal when I receive the phone.

griffdaddy · 15-06-2017 11:55PM

Mine's in Port Laoise at the moment. There's sure going to be a few V20s around for a market where it's not available

adam240610 · 16-06-2017 10:36PM

Have it ordered now too haha

satguy · 16-06-2017 10:57PM

My son got a delivery yesterday, A Bluboo Maya Max 6" Android Smartphone, it was €146 with shipping from EU.

I spoke to him today, and he said he was very very happy with this phone, see review below.

Worth a look,

that's a very old phone - where are they getting the stock?

Stacksey · 19-06-2017 10:50AM

You could probably pick up an Nexus 6p for under €300, the best phone i've ever had and a year and half later still going strong

Maybe second hand or refurb they are getting hard get and are still €450 plus new. It's a good phone but it's a generation behind with a 810 processor .

Decided against the xperia xz from Tesco got the €20 unlimited calls/text 15gb data from meteor. Reception is a little iffy at home on my Z3 compact but my wife is fine on her oneplus3 so need to change.

LG V20 from eglobal for €312 or MotoZ direct from moto UK for €335 look to be the best bang for buck. LG seems like the slightly better phone but I'm a bit wary of long delivery times or warranty issues with eglobal. Ordering from motorola will mean using parcel motel which actually suits me as I'm away on holidays in two weeks so afraid the phone won't be delivered before. At least with parcel motel I can get someone to pick it up for me. Might just wait to order so it comes after holidays but I'm tempted to take a gamble on delivery before then and order today.

Still considering stretching to the Oneplus5 or a xperia xz though.

I just ordered a Moto Z a week or so ago from Amazon.de, its now €279 for the phone before delivery costs. It doesn't come with the speaker mod and style case Motorola UK are offering and presumably has a German charger, pretty good deal I think if your not into Chinese slowboat/potential issues with eglobal which I wasn't.

€389 with for the non girly colour! I'd pay the little extra for a UK/Irish charger to.
