Tbh I'd rather try it for myself too, I'm just wary of Vodafone honoring the 14 days if I don't hand it straight back in the shop when I get it.

Also, some photos not saving at all after being taken in certain scenarios but I don't know if they're memory issues. Really though 4GB should be plenty better than what's shown in that video, that makes it look like it has feck all RAM, so it's good to get your experience of it too.

Unfortunately, not everyone can afford to shell out over 700e up front for a phone. Or 900e from the Google Store. That's the problem for me anyway, probably a lot of other people too. I need it on bill pay to be able to afford it, but even Bill Pay is ridiculously expensive for what you get on Vodafone. I've been waiting all year for it to come out but now it's looking like i'll just get an s9 or something

I always end up asking people to send me photos of me from their iPhone on every trip

They usually offer to send it away for repair with other devices etc but generally Google devices on networks in other countries your just given a straight up replacement, never seen that happen here though. Wonder if they will adopt that with the Pixels.
Shn99 wrote: » Legally, your contract is with the retailer not the manufacturer. Under the Sale of Goods and supply of services act you get to choose between a repair, replacement or a refund. What they’re doing is actually illegal. Mention that act to an employee at the Vodafone store and you’ll probably get the guilty reply ”well we might have a replacement in stock, let me have a look”
