Yep, signed in with my O2, login.

I just got:

"Your order has been dispatched and is on its way, which means you will receive it in the next few days":)

_Whimsical_ · 04-02-2014 11:44pm

If anyone wants a code PM me. It won't work unless you're already an o2 customer though as the 20% is for upgrades only but if someones buying two maybe they'll want a code.

Affluenza · 05-02-2014 12:28am

Just ordered myself a HTC Desire X for only €79.99

Thanks a lot op

biebiebie · 05-02-2014 8:16am

That's a savage deal for the note 2, premium phone. Due to get KitKat in a few months too.

Does anyone know if it's locked to O2?

It's out of stock sadly.
Would probably be locked to O2 bit unlock codes for them are cheap on eBay (about a tenner)

TheDriver · 05-02-2014 4:45pm

nope but then again I didn't receive any email in the 1st place and the online chat had to tell me yesterday that its in process....

RossD1983 · 05-02-2014 4:50pm

Wow, ok. I've confirmed with the online chat representative that the email is legitimate. I can never recall having to furnish this information in the past for any transaction like this, especially one which doesnt involve a direct debit or some other bind.

Happened to me several months back on a Galaxy 4 order. Despite being an O2 customer of over a decade and with a direct debit on another phone number, they still looked for this additional information.

I reluctantly provided the information required but they took ages to get back to me to clarify that the order was OK. I cancelled in the finish.

I got this as well but I've signed himself up to bill pay but the phone isn't costing anything so I was expecting similar but not looking for credit card verification, I've had to email them saying the card is in my name and he is just a cardholder, pain in the ass

KrakityJones · 05-02-2014 5:29pm

I got an email from them yesterday right after putting the order through, but only to say :

"Please note that this is an automated confirmation of your placed order and not an indication of acceptance. Following processing, O2 reserves its right to reject your order, or accept same by shipping your order to you.

If your order is being shipped it should arrive within three working days of us confirming your order. You will receive an email to let you know when your order is on its way and you will be asked to sign for it when it is delivered."

Heard nothing since.

I got a second e-mail, today, confirming the order was shipped, and gave me a tracking number for the package

Been waiting the last two days for a shipping confirmation, but after relishing I've the same email in my Spam folder.

Can anyone confirm this is normal practice with O2?

Edit: Opps, just seen the above comments.

devil-80 · 05-02-2014 7:01pm

Anyone know does Nokia 920 will be back?

My O/H missed the postman today, so we got the package delivery notice in the postbox.
That's 24 hrs since seeing the post, here, to delivery of a free upgrade phone, thanks again.

Nope, but this has come up before: http://www.boards.ie/ttfthread/2056800428. Ridiculously risky policy if it's still legit.

Don't think any of them will be back

Nope, just checked my mail and was greeted with a dispatch notice. Ordered a Note 2:D

CH3OH · 05-02-2014 11:38pm

Mine arrived this morning... 920 looks great. Steep learning curve ahead

juneg · 06-02-2014 12:08am

Is the Nokia 820 a good price phone for that? Is it a good spec compared to the 920 does anyone know please?

Yes, it's a cracker. I run one as my second handset.

Against the 920
Negatives: it has a smaller screen and less good camera
Positives: Has a removable battery and an SD card slot

It's definitely a bargain if you can get the extra few quid off via the 20% Priority Moments discount

KrakityJones · 06-02-2014 7:46pm

Just got my HTC one X+, bargain of the year for me hands down. Free on the €35 6 month contract, I was spending 20 a month at least on pre-pay so total extra over the 6 months - 90 quid. Was listed on the o2 site as 32gb but turns out it's the 64gb. Nice one OP

I just got a Nokia 920 on a 6 month contract for €35 a month.:D
Delira!

Gone out of stock again though

TheDriver · 06-02-2014 10:15pm

got my ativ s today, mighty phone for the price. got it for 160 prepay.

terryduff12 · 07-02-2014 10:24am

Tempted to buy the activ S, what ya think of it?

podge3 · 07-02-2014 10:52am

My Note 2 arrived but it was faulty. The box was tatty and looked like it had been opened. Its unlikely that I will get a replacement as its now OOS.

TheDriver · 07-02-2014 11:28am

my ativ was also a bit tatty and seal was broken but everything appeared brand new and unused and if it doesn't work its under warranty.
I am very surprised by the ativ s, lovely phone. Though I do like WP8 OS anyways so that's in its favour but light, good battery so far and better than nokia

beauf · 07-02-2014 11:36am

They should really advertise these as returns and opened boxes, if they are not unopened boxes.

If the handset is a relatively old model (like my Note) then the warranty will probably be a refund, not a replacement. Unless you want to get it repaired, of course.

beauf wrote: »

Yeah, I'm a bit miffed about that. I know that said that they were clearance stock, not that they were "open box" or "refurbished".

terryduff12 · 07-02-2014 11:54am

That's put me off getting one so, do ya get a year warrenty with the phone and what would it be like trying to get the refund will you get money or money back into credit card

beauf · 07-02-2014 11:56am

From their website (my bolding)

These phones are reduced to clear but are brand new, unused

Got my ATIV yesterday, I can confirm the seal was intact, box fine, and phone as new.

TheDriver · 07-02-2014 1:03pm

mine did have all the original stickers and didn't appear to have been looked at or taken out of the box. A standard shop could have sold this on to someone no problem.

loopymum · 07-02-2014 1:33pm

My note 2 is in the post, can't wait

jmorrisey · 07-02-2014 3:31pm

collected note 2 for the missus in o2 shop yesterday, sealed box brand new, she's delighted

devil-80 · 07-02-2014 3:57pm

does anyone know which windows phone is better lumia 920 or ativ s?

beauf · 07-02-2014 4:18pm

Better for what?

devil-80 · 07-02-2014 4:21pm

Better screen,better camera,sound quality etc

beauf · 07-02-2014 4:36pm

They are both good.

920 better camera, (for night time)
Ativ S better sound (earphones)
Ativ S Lighter
920 32GB vs 16GB and MicroSD for Activ S
Bigger battery on Activ S

Swings and roundabouts.

The 920 is probably just a bit better unless you need somehting like the MicroSD or lightness. I reckon the 920 will get updates longer. But its out of stock, so is there really a choice?

devil-80 · 07-02-2014 4:46pm

exactly there is not much choice for phone with windows-i need something with bigger screen and camera with flash already have lumia 520.
Maybe 920 will be back in stock or 820 will get cheaper.

beauf · 07-02-2014 4:47pm

I meant the 920 is out of stock so you can't buy it anyway.

Niveus Tauri · 07-02-2014 5:24pm

did anyone who got 920 checked if the handset is locked to o2 ? or any other phone from clearance ?

TheDriver · 07-02-2014 5:47pm

I had same wonderings as to which phone, glad got ativ as 920 looked terribly heavy...

devil-80 · 07-02-2014 5:49pm

what about htc one x+ i know its android but is it worth to buy?

loopymum · 07-02-2014 6:03pm

You really need to check what's left in stock at this stage, htc one x + is completely gone from the clearance page.

My note 2 arrived today at work, I only got the email at 11.22 this morning, just checked the tracking number and it arrived at work at 10.36am

bromley52 · 07-02-2014 11:22pm

Any recommendations for a case for the Note 2?
