They wouldn't sell me it without the €20 credit, has anyone else has this issue?

Thankfully, not with me, but there was a strange feeling, almost with disdain that you were taking up the offer, as i was waiting behind someone in the queue & the person before me had great craic with the agent, but until i gave him the voucher & would only look up at me a few times to take the details down & when finished i asked him was there a brochure & google play with the phone, he retorted back & said "should be, its a google phone"

But I was expecting they would come out with something the same, as i mentioned earlier, if it was for someone else, the person wanted that person in!
Btw the store was L'kenny, i expected more, but not a moron :rolleyes:

I requested my unlock code a week ago, got it this morning. Bought it at this price last week.

Was that thru the PAYG option here https://nac.vodafone.ie/ ?

Be honest, the phone is genuinely only worth €30.

- 4 GB Memory, 512 MB RAM (and that includes the OS, so you end up with maybe 1GB if lucky - this is similar to me HTC Desire from 2010/2011)

- Resolution 480 x 854 pixels (~218 ppi pixel density - relatively poor)

- WLAN Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g/n (so no wifi ac)

- CPU Dual-core 1.2 GHz Cortex-A7 (less said the better)

- Size 4.5 inches (~62.8% screen-to-body ratio - quite low ratio)

- Primary 5 MP, (some front facing cameras are even higher)

Safe to say this phone won't be updated for the Stagefright bug.

The version of Android Webview in Kitkat is based on Chrome 30 and will never be updated. 70% of your apps depend on Webview.
The version of Android Webview in Lollipop is updated every 6 weeks when the version of chrome on the desktop is updated. Chrome is currently on version 44.

I'm surprised that Vodafone even want to be associated with this phone - although it was released 15 months ago. €80 was a rip-off but €30 is fair.
I'd sooner pay a slight bit more and go for the Moto E, though even at that, I'd probably stretch for the Moto G.

Had to ring customer care to request my code couldnt do it through my login.
Girl said it takes about ten days to come through.
Will let you know when i get it

That's a different phone than the one on offer? The offer is for the 'TURBO' version. It has 1Gb RAM and a Quad Core Snapdragon processor. Not amazing tech anymore, but definitely a bargain for €30.

Turbo only on voucher.

Got the phone today for my wife, didn't ask me any questions, i had tesco sim which i have never used put it in wifes phone, he just asked for the number ,said it will take 10mins to change over, didn't ring the phone, didn't ask me to top up.
Seems a nice phone.

Not buying phone for the sake of it so have a voucher available PM ME.

I tried my local phone shop and they said it would have to be a Vodafone shop.
