could I use that with my Three sim ? It's dual sim right?

Has anyone received theirs from Vodafone or Three. If so could you check if your phone is unlocked ?

Mine is due in next hour.

I'm going to assume then this is locked to Tesco Mobile so only of use to those with a TM number

Ring loyalty and ask them to get you added to an early upgrade given that you are a loyal customer and are already on one of their bundles.

If they set you up on the system, you should be able to pre-order online in order to qualify for the headphones too.

Have you actually tried to deal with eir ,
Telesales and online sales are two separate divisions and notorious to deal with

Absolutely

Random thought that puts me way off the phone. So it has a notch right, ok bare with me, I completely understand the logic of a notch: push the screen all the way up and put your sensors etc in the normally empty centre of the staus bar..........but using the logic of maximising the screen why the fu*k go with a front fingerprint sensor and have a bezel across the bottom just for it? And still go with on screen nav bar. So strange. The logic is strange. Should have gone with rear sensor and push the screen all the way down.

There are phones on the way with a notch at the top and bottom, so you can wait for these to be released:)

But there are two reasons I understand to keep the from finger print reader.

1)Cost and issues to get it at the rear of the battery (There is no wireless chip either, so currently no electronics at the rear of the battery?)

2)You can unlock you phone without lifting it (not possible with rear finger or face).

Also you can set the notch to black background, which maintains the symmetrical appearance of the phone, but keeps the info in the notch area and off the main screen.

I purchased today ... An s9+... Thanks for all the input...

In the end I've been without a phone for a few days, wrecked my head not having a phone. Got paid today, today was always the day I was getting my new phone...and there are no Huawei p20 pros in the stores for sale so my mind was made up for me... thankfully... I'd still have been stood in the shop humming otherwise

I'd say you won't get an answer to this unless someone has SIM cards from other suppliers than the one they use.

Slightly off topic, is Carphone Warehouse the only B&M shop where you can buy new unlocked phones ?

(obviously you can get unlocked online, but my sister in Dubai was curious as there you can buy unlocked phones everywhere)

Nightline have an estimated delivery between 7 and 9pm tonight for mine. I've just had to reschedule it for tomorrow as I won't be in tonight. Kind of annoying as I live near the depot.

Anyway, how are folk getting on with the handset?

Missed delivery at 14:00 from an post, Some of us have to work:D
Evening Delivery scheduled for 18:00

I do have another problem though, this is supposed to be my birthday present from Wife/Daughter which is not until next week.

I need to see if I can sneak it out:o, but I cannot fully switch over until its back in the box and I open it on B day:eek:

But I guess I can use during daytime in work and night time, to start getting it set-up etc, before returning to box again to be wrapped:)

How would a p20 lite compare against a Xiaomi Mi A1? Particularly in terms of camera?

My Xiaomi arrived today, but I just seen the Tesco Mobile offer of €80 upfront and €30/month. I already pay €20 on credit each month so the phone would only cost an extra €10.

If I thought the p20 lite was a step up I'd sell the Xiaomi unopened.

I asked the same question before and was given the following response

They are all broadly similar based upon the above link.

The Galaxy A5 only has 3GB RAM though, which might be an issue if you like to use lots of apps at the same time.

The P20 Lite is the newest, has the biggest screen and is running the newest version of Android so it probably the best buy between the above.

16MP on Huawei instead of 12MP camera on the Xiaomi

anyone know this? where do people buy unlocked phones in Ireland (not online I mean)

CiDeRmAn · 13-04-2018 04:14PM

So, re the P20 Pro, I take it the free headphones ship has now sailed?

It is now removed from the Vodafone website, so it looks like it.

Not sure if they would bring anything back. The mate 10 still has a free gift available, but much lower RRP gift.

rizzee · 13-04-2018 04:23PM

Sales will slow down on this or a price drop soon, no one will pay full whack without getting the 400 euro headphones free. In my opinion.

CiDeRmAn · 13-04-2018 04:36PM

I'm in no hurry, I've a Pixel right now, but I should have pulled the trigger on the P20Pro earlier this week.
Ah well.

Same. But just realized I ordered two somehow one 24 hours after the other. Both have been dispatched. I am expecting headsets with both as they were ordered in March so if anyone wants the set they can have it for 779 with the headphones.

The fingerprint reader can also be used in place of the 'soft keys' which frees up even more screen space.

"Off-Screen Navigation Key: This allows the home key to be used with gestures, as so: press to return home; swipe left or right to open recent apps; tap to go back. As the trio of typical Android soft keys won't be on the home screen it means more space to enjoy your content, without less need to reach up across the phone screen during use."

I've been using it like this so far and it works quite well.

The P10 has the similar set up
