I wouldn't base any purchasing decisions on a review from iVerge.

sure...

why not post up a review from a site you would read?

or, just read the review before jumping on the iBandwagon bashing.

I read the verge's review and it was garbage based on using a Pre-production device for 48 hours. It was the equivalent of that douche that leaves "First" in comment boxes.

I'm still waiting on Anandtech's review for a more scientific view on ultrapixals, screen, gpu ect.

But yeh here are some real reviews..

Was going to buy a ready to go and stick with my sim-free package (€579 + (24 x €27) = €1227), but for an extra €8 per month, that looks like a good deal from VF (€150 + (24 x €35) = €990). Am I missing something? I'm suspicious:rolleyes:

Found it! On VF Red Essentials, you get 100 mins to any network, but cannot buy an add on to increase it - it's 25c per minute once you use up your allowance. On my sim only, I get 200 mins/500mb for €27. Hmmm, dunno if that's a deal breaker or not

You can increase it. It shows up as international mins and international texts I think.

Thanks, I just assumed that you could only use them for calling abroad.

Does anyone know what time the shops would get the phone in ? Would Vodafone shops usually have them first thing ?

Thanks !

Picked up the HTC One in the 02 shop in Letterkenny for 549 on Prepay this morning.
Havent had a chance to see if they are locked to o2 yet.
Two left in the store if anyone is interested.

bush · 29-03-2013 01:08PM

Anyone know if anyone is selling them unlocked?

Happy days!

Friends and Family discount.

If you didn't get it on a F&F discount, how on earth did you get a 12month 26 euro contract? I didn't think they even did 12 month contracts anymore. None listed on the site.

You also seem to say you are a pay as you go customer.

I'm confused!

evolutionqy7 · 29-03-2013 02:27PM

Looks like it did fairly well in gsm arena battery endurance testing

nope no family discount - just rang up yesterday enquiring...They did give me a 25% discount off the month price alright - I guess they saw i wasnt topping up much in the past few months so they offered me the discount - that said i think you could still get the phone for €229 for 18 months a 30 euro plan - no discount applied.

bush · 29-03-2013 02:40PM

Got one in meteor Wexford for 530

Tom Cruises Left Nut · 29-03-2013 02:44PM

Yeah - I can see that option, but shocked you got a 12 month contract from them.

Try someone else's SIM.
