    The links here are weird, not leading to the second gen one at all.
    I got a 5inch, 3G not 4G, dual sim from amazon a few weeks ago. Very pleased with it, came with android 4.4.4 (kitkat). Is due Lolipop Android 5.0 any day now. Works great with 2 SIMs. I use tescomobile PAYG for voice and texts and a meteor 20gbytes for €10.16 pay monthly cos the O2/TESCO data signal is 2G/Edge crap here.

    Easy way to tell - the 5" has two front-mounted speakers.

    BTW, they're all dual-SIM (the 5" models) .

    Why does GSM arena have two different (5") ones listed?

    Only one is Dual Sim.

    OK, there is a US and Canada single-SIM version and also a "Global GSM" XT1063 (Optimized for AT&T), but any model you buy in Europe is, I think, safe to say dual-SIM.

    Is it possible to reserve these with the status 'item can be ordered' I managed to reserve one but in the email they sent me there is no mention of any code or anything?

    I got the same and then tried a different store and got a reservation code in that e-mail. Also in store date was showing as 23rd but e-mail says from the 18th.

    If there is no reservation number in the mail then there is no reservation made. Had this issue before when "can be ordered for collection" was the status.Happened again this evening on a George Foreman i was trying. Just a blank Email:confused:

    You mean the charger? It comes with the usual MicroUSB to normal USB cable, as used by everybody except Apple of course, and uses the charger everybody has loads of since the EU mandated the mobile phone suppliers to stop frigging about with unique chargers.

    Just heads up they aren't all dual-SIM. Global GSM x1063 from USA is a single sim

    I bought mine for 140 euro when it just came out on amazon(US)

    It was present for someone else so I didn't get to play with the camera that much.

    Explain for an idiot.....

    I've a €10 per month contract with Tesco at the minute. Would it be possible for me to get a data only contract from whomever, and set the phone up to use the data sim for all data usage?
    If so, can someone point me in the right direction of the cheapest data plan! ;)

    Also, is 8gb very small? Seem to remember reading that there's no expansion?

    It's just OK. Acceptable. You'll be disappointed if coming from a Galaxy S or Note for example.
