Just regarding the above, can anyone who has ordered this model from here before know if it's OK to run here in Ireland? Pretty sure it is but just making sure before I order.

yes it the global model you want . I would go the 64gb one it’s only 20 more and I used a 5€ discount count too. Just google Honorbuy discount codes

Quick question, the Hong Kong geekbuying is slightly cheaper than the German geekbuying. Is there a difference other than the waiting time?

With HK delivery, you might get caught to pay VAT. With EU warehouse you won't!

Same with my order , they should just make clear that it will take two weeks .

Mine arrived after two weeks

You won't be disappointed! I upgraded from the exact same phone myself before Christmas. My g7 had become unbelievably slow. Hope it goes well for you. That's a great price too.

After sending them a ticket yesterday they emailed me this morning saying it has been dispatched today and have given me a eglobal tracking numberand says it will take a few days to be updated,

I hope i get it before tuesday week as i go back to sea then for 3 months,

Disaster they don't inform of the proper shipping details.

Looks like the gold version is being sold on Amazon UK? Link is here

Says that it is 'Sold and Shipped by Amazon' so not a third party company, which is interesting

£188.57 for the black sold by Amazon (around €216 using Revolut)

Dearer than eglobal etc, but with Amazon's customer service, I would say worth the extra.

(nb link is to 3rd party seller at £188.56 - select Amazon from the list of sellers)

well my faith is restored in eglobalcentral looks like my phone has departed East midlands in the uk this morning and will be delivered with DHL by end of day tommorow,

obviously they don't update tracking until it gets to the uk, i ordered last wednesday so just over a week,

well impressed with that looking forward now to the new phone.

Just got the phone tonight serously impressed with it.is the camera mod worth the hassle ie is it a big improvement as tbh the stock one seems fine

Be following this with interest and any other apps that are worthwhile

Got the a1 delivered this morning. Only ordered Tuesday night very impressed. But my Huawei is micro SIM and this is nano SIM. Do I just go to mobile provider and request a nano SIM or try cutting the micro down in size?

Go to your provider and get a replacement. They issue trio SIM cards now. That will cover full size , micro and nano.

I'd say definitely do it.
It took me less than 10 min .

Is there much of a difference. Camera is brilliant as is in daylight but awful in low light.
