    Anyone know where I'll be able to get this? I read on a few sites it's not for sale in the UK so that normally includes Ireland. Anyone else on here think of picking it up?

    What makes you say that? :P

    Ordered one from EGlobal. Arrived in Parcel Motel yesterday. Hopefully will have it later.

    Edit: Strange, received another 'new shipment was created email from EGlobal over night. It's the same info as of June 5th, probably a mistake.

    Did anyone else who ordered from eGlobal have theirs stuck in UK customs for a long time?

    Or is it a case of the tracking service stops there and it'll just get delivered?

    Mine came via Hong Kong - France - UK - then all silent for a bit, no tracking updates after a Thursday (June 8th). Arrived in Ireland some time in the small hours on Monday, June 12th. Reached Parcel Motel by midday. They processed it about 6pm that evening. It was in the locker ~ 9am the next day. I collected it after work. Give the UK side few days, it might be radio silence for a bit. I know it's annoying if you're frequently refreshing your browser...

    I'm also tempted to try this but not sure if it's going to be much of an upgrade from my S7 Edge.

    Without wishing to pry too much, is your destination Ireland or elsewhere?
    If its Ireland, then why did it go to Belgium, and which Customs?

    I'm looking at buying off these guys, but slightly unsure about how they do the customs bit.

    Went to Heston in UK, cleared customs in the UK, then it went to their international sorting centre which I guess must be in Belgium. They refund customs if you get charged but only a handful seem to get caught. So much cheaper than amazon

    Destined for Wicklow

    Ah right, I thought you were on mainland Europe, thats interesting that it dispatches to Europe from the UK, then back here.

    Did anyone here upgrade from an S7 edge and if so would you recommend it? Or would the G6 be a better option?

    Another software update this morning. LG Health pops up to me my steps info now and then. Haven't looked into turning it off or not. I use Garmin Connect for running anyway.

    A few sample pics attached.

    Hello... Looking to buy this phone for my wife. Can someone here confirm that this phone will work on the 4g networks in Ireland? Any ways to check this out before ordering? No much information regarding this on eglobal website!
    Your opinions please

    I suspect this is more of an Android issue than anything, but I'm finding it's pretty slow at learning common words I use for texts, Viber, etc.

    Anyone got any pros and cons for this phone? Trying to decide between this and the G6, the 2nd screen on the v20 kind of appeals to me in a gimmicky sort of way. Do you definitely need a case with the V20, is it slippy in the hand? Is the wide angle camera only being 8mp noticeable?

    For anyone who has this and has looked at the upcoming V30 would you recommend buying the V20 for €300 on eglobal or waiting and paying (the reported) €800 for the V30?

    Coming from an S7 edge.
