Is that the same version that's available from Vodafone / Three, if different what are the differences ?

BTW is gone up to €289

The one being sold by 3/VF is the TA-1055 model, global single sim.
The one on eglobal is the TA-1062 model, Asian dual sim.

There's still English on the phone, and you can change it to the Global dual sim version if you like, with the help of xda.

Sorry about the price, didn't realise it was on a limited time offer when I posted it, but €289 is still pretty good

Anybody else having problems with their earphone jack continuosly disconnecting with even the slightest touch of the jack

Has to be pushed entirely in - the provided silicone case makes this impossible depending on the jack.

I also find if it isn't 100% in it sends the phone haywire summoning google assistant and other issues.

I've had to use a (admittedly crap) BT set for a while due to slight issues with jacks on the wired headphones I have which is a bit annoying.

Anyone have issues where you're tapping right of screen to progress in Snapchat/instagram and it's detecting a left tap and going backwards? Similar issues with home key touches being detected when i'm trying to tap something low on the screen within an app.

My main gripes but mostly happy.

Have also had issues with Google assistant but didn't put two and two together...

Might be requesting a Bluetooth earphone set from Three to compensate for a faulty jack piece

Dropped mine last night and the screen cracked. 1 week old. Knew I should have went for a flip case rather than the silicone one provided.

None of the Chinese shops have replacement screens just yet.

I'm in the same boat, cracked screen (though it works, thankfully) & separately the headphone jack won't accept any headphone (full insertion pushes the headphone back out to 3/4 length, so no sound. Holding it in fully causes audio to flick between internal speaker or headphone... Resulting in Google Assistant activation each time....ie the known issue which Vodafone & Nokia appears to be ignoring).

If you find any 'good' Chinese phone repair stores that do the lcd (& headphone socket) replacement let me know.

V-GSM 48 George's Street LowerDún Laoghaire
quoted ~€70 or €80 for lcd (part not in stock so full price tbc later this week) & €30 for headphone socket.

Don't think i/we should be paying for headphone socket replacement...Nokia hardware & software issue so they should cover it FOC...or else Vodafone (though Vodafone just say warranty is with Nokia).

Has anyone here tried to get Vodafone or Nokia to address the headphone socket issue after the Vodafone 14 days return period? Eg via phone replacement?

If you fix the screen you will void the warranty for anything else, like the headphone socket. (I'm guessing).

That's right, but the warranty is not much use so far if Nokia (or Vodafone) don't stand over it for hardware defects (physical headphone jack).

I may wait to see if Nokia admit to & cover the headphone jack hardware defect & contact them directly in the meantime. I can live with the cracked lcd screen (cracks near edges) but i need the headphone jack for my car's aux-in.

The case provided doesn't provide any screen protection, the screen sticks out further than the case's edge. there's a few on eBay, I got one. Doesn't look as good, but screen would be cracked without it.

Giving how Android P DP4 (Beta 4) V3.150 is now an OTA update (and hence very easy to install), is anybody running it on their device.

Any problems they have, I'm thinking of getting it installed but am wondering if anybody has any negative experience.

Sure I could wait but you know.....

At this stage, it's more or less Release Candidate, and as that version has been promoted to Production, for Pixels and Essential phones, I'm pretty sure that it's near finished.

If it's OTA, go ahead and pick it up from XDA and bang it on the device.
You (probably) won't regret it

But seriously, I don't have it myself, so I can't say for certain if there's any issues, that would leave you screwed

I have DP4 installed. It's an improvement on DP3 but the battery is definitely not as good as Oreo on any of the Betas I've tried. DP3 had Always on Display as an option but that has been removed for some reason. Also the adaptive brightness is too dark. All in all, it's getting there but I'd be hoping for more improvement in the final version.
