They are out of stock as its their fiscal end of year and are not buying in any more stock. According to one store manager I spoke to.

Would anyone like a Spigen Rugged Armor case for the P20?

I've cancelled my P20 on Amazon, now the seller miraculously has stock and jacked the price up â‚¬50. I've ordered a 128GB Honor 10 for â‚¬100 less as it's pretty much the same phone just with a slightly less fancy camera

I've a Spigen case on the way so if anyone wants it let me know, once it arrives I'll sort out sending it off to someone.

Yes please if it's still available? Thanks.

Apologies. I thought it was for the p20 pro. Thanks for your kind offer though.

Picked one up on pre pay, loving the phone, responsive, no freezing, slowing down, camera is cracking, battery life is fantastic

What's with Eir doing bill pay only stock? A phone is a phone, surely? They treat bill pay customers like crap so I'm surprised they care to keep stock for them. I guess they still make good money off contracts.

My mam got a Huawei P Smart and was told they only have bill pay stock. It's a €200 phone and isn't worth getting locked into a 2 year contract for. They're just losing sales at the end of the day.

No clue tbh but yet man had no idea giving me a phone on prepay once he copped I was going to go buy it somewhere else

Any love for the Lite?

On my second Huawei so would like to get another, was looking at P Smart(160 if you "switch" to vodafone, but not sure if any good) and then P20 lite seems to be the next phone

Looking for camera and battery as good as I can and not willing to pay 600(250 or so for G7 and worked great, only battery going and phone outdated) or so on a phone

Thanks

Got mine 5 days ago on an anytime upgrade with Vodafone and so far prefer it to Samsungs UI. Really only annoying thing I've seen is sometimes when I unlock it insists on a PIN and throws a message about 'some user data not accessible without pin'. I just press power button off and on and the face id works again. Weird.

Other than that it's pretty decent, and I don't mind it not being a 2K screen.

Ordered a Spigen Rugged Armor and screen protector. The included gel case isn't bad at all but not deep enough to protect the camera.

Any of the free BOSE wireless headphones up on adverts yet ?

According to a manager I know in one of the Eir stores, Eir are in the middle of their end of year audit so buying no more stock. Hence shortage of P20 range.

P20 Pro being delivered tomorrow. Got a decent case for it today.

Decent deal with Eir Business. €243 up front. Got a few credits worth €140 in total (Loyalty Team). Should get that or more for my old HTC 10.

€35 p/m for unlimited everything. 12 month deal (their error).

Brian201888 · 30-05-2018 08:51PM

Have you many others on the plan?

How did you get this deal

Larek · 31-05-2018 06:02AM

I've been waiting for P20 Pro over a month from Vodafone as they were out of stock.
Got one from Poland in Dual SIM version which you won't be able to get in UK or Ireland.
Have one more now, box still sealed in a black color Dual SIM if anyone interested. Unlocked to all networks

After being 4 years with IOS I moved back to Android and every day even happier with this phone

Long standing good customer speaking to the right person in their loyalty team on the right day I guess. I bundled a landline in there too.

It's a good outcome for sure.

My March Pre order finally turned up yesterday.
Got sick of waiting so bought off ebay and was too late to cancel pre order.
Its sat there looking all nice and twilight-y and i darent use it as ebay version is meant to arrive yesterday/today/god knows as well and the preorder is being returned....

this has tested my patience

Henry Ford III · 31-05-2018 08:40AM

I ordered on the phone yesterday lunchtime. Sms says it'll be delivered within the hour. Not bad at all!

What is the easiest way of transferring the content and apps from my HTC 10 to the new P20 Pro?

It has a clone app or gives you a link for one that will transfer everything

The Phone Clone app is the best way. Does it over wi-fi and you just scan a QR code on the screen of the other phone. Works well and quite quick.

Have to say it worked better than the Xperia transfer on my old Z5!

Between that and my Google login saving everything down to my Work WiFi settings, I didn't have to do a whole lot on my new phone. Google Smart Lock remember most of my app logins too.

Setup has a transfer tool - I can export/import everything using NFC on the HTC 10 it seems.

'Pin required for additional security. Must enter pin after restart. User data restricted'.
This annoying message is coming up more and more when I go to unlock phone. It seems to be random. Usually I don't reboot my phone either. And I think the only pattern is the longer I leave it on the more often this message pops up.

Anyone ?

SteM · 02-06-2018 07:30PM

Anyone picked up a p20 on payg from Vodafone recently? Just wondering if they're still locked to the network.

Flaccus · 02-06-2018 08:14PM

Yes, my friends was locked. He has to spent 127 euro before they will unlock. I'm on billpay and they unlocked immediately but had to wait 7 days for code.

Flaccus · 02-06-2018 08:19PM

'Pin required for additional security. Must enter pin after restart. User data restricted'.

Driving me mad now. Happened 6 or 7 times today. Discovered fingerprint will unlock it or pin, but don't understand why it's happening. Seems to be an android feature according to the google pixel forums. However on the google phone its if you have the phone on for more a few days. For me it happens randomly. Some have said if you do a factory reset and make sure to register a pin during setup then this fixes it.

Wondering if anyone is seeing this message.

Henry Ford III · 03-06-2018 12:04PM

It's all up and running fine now. Data and apps were easy enough to transfer. Took a while to organise the apps into an order that I liked.

Phone is impressive. Pre fitted screen protector is a nice touch. They even provided a cover but I bought a better one. Everything works very well. Battery life looks great. Camera is great.
