Very good deal for a super phone. Use parcel motel for delivery.

Red version also which looks nice.

Works out at approx €290.

I Just wish it had a memory slot

Dr Nic · 22-02-2014 9:08am

Surely with the new clip on battery packs, there is also a clip on memory chip?
Make the phone slightly larger but much easier use?

That wouldn't be possible. Extended betteries aren't new either.

Dr Nic · 22-02-2014 9:52am

Why wouldn't it be possible mister gates?

Thats a great price!

It wouldn't recognise the new parcel motel postcode but the old one went in fine, then you can just edit the details after that to include your pmid etc. I didn't go through with the order so I don't know if it would be cancelled or not but it's worth a try for anyone actually buying it.

Jonny7 · 22-02-2014 11:44am

Great phone, great deal, just pointless for me, as I need memory card slot

What is the old postcode? I've only signed up recently and can't find it.

EDIT: it's BT364PX

Placed an order with Parcel Motel as my billing address so guess it will be cancelled though.

I have one and don't miss it at all.

Nedved85 · 22-02-2014 2:05pm

When your buying it looks for a mobile number, it wont take any version of my mobile number 0035387, +35387 etc...

Any ideas

Will it not work if you use an Irish address as the billing address?

Does it have to be a mobile? Perhaps use the parcel motel number NI number. If all else fails I'm sure any mobile no. from google would do as they would have your email if anything goes wrong. For all they know you entered your no. incorrectly.

cruhoortwunk · 22-02-2014 3:46pm

Anyone's order go through ok? Or are the PM orders rejected for being outside mainland UK?

mcw92 · 22-02-2014 3:47pm

Is this instore too yes?

GalwayGaillimh · 22-02-2014 4:55pm

Amazing deal Ordered a nexus 5 this morning from the cw uk website received the confirmation email , then received an email later today from cw that the transaction may have being declined by my credit card provider and to ring their helpline in the UK , so rang there helpline listened to 40 minutes of music on hold but no answer supposedly its open today...

Yes it is and its already far into the works.

The micro usb acts like a pc usb, it can accept mass storage devices and thumbsticks with an an adaptor.

I cant find the link, but theres a case in the works for the nexus 5 with something like this built into it

it was posted on the bottom of the previous page

If they included a charger does that mean you got a us model nexus 5 in which the LTE dosnt work over here?
Cheaper on CPW anyways.

gribas · 23-02-2014 12:16pm

Thanks folks!

Another one placed today with Parcel Motel Address...

Fingers crossed!

bikerboy_ie · 23-02-2014 5:25pm

Ordered yesterday at 12PM and have just received an email from CPW asking for me to call them. I obviously have requested that it be sent via PM. I gave them a UK mobile number and used PM NI address as billing address. Anybody have any ideas what they need me to call them for?

mcw92 · 23-02-2014 6:29pm

I don't know whether to try place the order or to wait for Enniskillen to get stock and just drive up......

mik_da_man · 23-02-2014 7:58pm

Feck it, I only bought the one form Groupon the other day for £285

Tis worth it anyway, great phone

I got the same thing. I called them just now and they said that the order has to be cancelled as parcel motel billing addresses won't work :mad:

Edit: Just spoke to them again after having Parcel Motel added as a permitted billing address to my Credit Card. Still won't work as they physically won't deliver to the Parcel Motel depot as it's their policy. What a load of cock.

vmoooq · 24-02-2014 2:50pm

Did anyone get their order shipped yet?

same thing here was no problem authirising on credit card except they tried to put 5 of them on my Credit card instead of 1 , seems they just don't like the parcel motel billing address.

ActingDanClark · 24-02-2014 6:17pm

My order cancelled by email:mad:

Kirk Van Houten · 25-02-2014 2:34pm

Been trying to get my hands on this for the past few days with no luck at all. My bank confirmed all ok with the credit card but Carphone Warehouse just won't put it through. Anyone manage to get around this or know of anywhere selling for a similar price that will deliver through Parcel Motel?

cruhoortwunk · 25-02-2014 2:36pm

Only way is to drive up north and buy one

That was coming from HongKong though. You're lucky you didn't get hit by customs I'd say...

dozy doctor · 25-02-2014 3:30pm

I'm getting my phone from a pal in Scotland who will then ship it to Parcel Motel...
I refused the Nexus 4 I bought on Amazon for the same money when AN Post tried to deliver it yesterday as I figured it is definitely better to have the latest one....

Would still need a credit card with a UK billing address to buy it though

Get them to buy it for you and you give them the cash....

Deliberator · 26-02-2014 4:10pm

I was in the North last weekend, and picked mine up from the store in Newtownabbey. Well pleased to purchase this phone for £240 (Just checked my bank statement online - €292.43).

bren4q · 26-02-2014 5:35pm

There's a good opportunity there for someone to make an easy bit of cash if they were heading up North and had a grand or two to spare. Buying phones @ €295 each and then selling for around €325 each is a nice 10% profit and would still be a great deal to whoever is buying it.

Any takers?

Or how about just letting people who actually want the phones to, you know, use them, buy them?
