    No codes anywhere on the east coast. I keep checking.

    Managed to get one up North, must have just got on when a reservation ran out. :P Great bit of kit it seems like so far. Comes with a fairly soft back cover so just need a screen protector and away you go.

    In an effort to get one, a few mornings ago I went mad clicking and got 4 different Dublin reservation codes for this at 4 different Argos, supposedly for pickup from Tuesday.

    Just got a text saying one will be available early, at Stephens Green today. So I will have 3 extra codes--Nutgrove, ILAC, Jervis Str.

    PM me if anyone wants a code and say for which location. (But even though I have the codes, didn't yet get texts saying they're in stock and ready for pickup yet at the other 3 locations--supposedly available Tuesday).

    Nutgrove requested.

    What do ye think the story is here?
    An advertised price mess up or stock issue? If it were price, you'd think that this would have been fixed last week.

    I'd guess stock issue. It is a genuine bargain, but there's an updated model available for under €200 (not much better imo) so the price isn't a total giveaway. Got mine yesterday. I'm moving from iOS and it's my first Android so it's going to take me time to figure everything out but so far so good. It's fast and battery life is great. Only gripe I have is lack of NFC so Google Pay doesn't work but I can live without it. Oh, and the SIM tray is a bit puzzling. Had to go to YouTube to see how exactly two nano SIMs fit.

    Out of stock and people who had reserved them not collecting them so a few will come back into stock. It's what normally happens in Argos.

    Someone collected my reservation for Liffeyvalley- and the manager has offered me an Xiaomi S2 instead by way of apology- for the same price. Should I take it? Grateful for any information- I'm out and about- have to say 'yay' or 'nay' in the next few minutes. Thanks guys.

    If anyone can't get skins to work just change your region to USA then you can access them.

    Got through to the store and they told me there's a problem with the reservation and they don't actually have it.

    :mad::mad:

    If anyone has a code for Cork or Dublin would love to take it off your hands.

    You can download an app called nova, it lets you set the appearance and interface to look like android
