Nope. The Pixel 3 has unlimited storage at original quality. The 3a only has the same unlimited reduced quality as everyone gets with any phone. So in that respect it is a serious downgrade from previous Pixel phones.

Ahh thanks for clarifying

Although you still get 15GB of storage at original quality same as everyone. Which is quite a lot. In four years I've used 3GB.
So depends how many photos you want to keep. And the 4 doesn't have unlimited either. And that costs €800.

Off topic but at this stage I feel we are a family getting over the line together :

“Can you pay monthly to up that 15GB?” Like iCloud on iOS?

I pay something like €2/month out of my phone credit for 200gb Google Drive storage. I assume your photos can be stored there.

Anyone who got this phone, does it come unlocked?

So I rang Vodafone (India) customer services on Thursday. I was not amicable. They said my request was cancelled and I needed to ring them in two days time to confirm a refund. Now this made me less amicable. But I did notice they did refund me yesterday. What a bunch of characters they are. So refund done, now just waiting on delivery of my phone that suddenly I want more than anything :-)

Good luck!

They also auto refunded all my failed charges. The call center staff don't seem to have a clue and wing the information.

In the same boat on waiting for delivery, I made one last attempt at getting this yesterday. It looks more promising than the other orders as it has gone to due for dispatch where none of my previous orders made it that far so fingers crossed.

You can trade it in to cex for more than you paid for it. Wait till next week & see if you can buy a 3a. If you get the 3a sell the Huawei.

I was made to buy a SIM of Vodafone and I have used Vodafone SIM in it. I guess it is locked as I had read chats referring to unlock code on ebay.

unhappyBB · 24-11-2019 7:16pm

Ok, is there any chance of this coming back into stock and me getting it for €179?
I've only just ordered my eir SIM card.

I'd say yes. Been in & out of stock all week. You can get them to notify you when it's back in stock.

StaticNoise · 24-11-2019 8:09pm

If you want a stock notification, you need to use the desktop site.

Still no refund from last Tuesday for my four cancelled orders.

Yeah had rang twice and been on to them on twitter. Might just get on to the bank at this stage.

flexcon · 25-11-2019 10:42am

Man this whole system they got going on is so unreliable. Mines gone from Prepare to dispatch back to processing.

YET another call to them.

Likewise. They also said to me that my refund would not have occured if I had not contacted them. So I contacted them on Thursday and had the refund in my account on Friday. Just got a notification this morning that my latest order is dispatched. Happy times

Mine has also gone from prepare for dispatching back to processing

Mine and others did the same and still arrived, although it did briefly show as dispatched before going back to processing, which you might have missed. If it doesn't show as cancelled it's probably on the way.

That's standard. Mine did the same. It will still be at that status when it is delivered it ready for collection.

Out of interest. When did you order??

25-11-2019 12:07pm

Mine is showing as "Your order is due for dispatch"
Ordered on Friday. Quietly confident that it is on the way

I ordered yesterday afternoon, cancelled last night. I had previously bought one at €249 but used a different email address, delivery address and a shortened version of my name this time. Ah well.

CC was charged. Has anyone actually gotten a full refund yet?

Quick update: I got a refund for my €179 without having to contact them. I guess this makes me one of the lucky ones.

For the record, I bought under the original €249 offer and used the phone for the first time this weekend and it's excellent. A lot of phone for €179 for anyone who manages to get it.

I think it goes "Ready for dispatch" -> "Your order has been dispatched" -> "Your order is being processed" (confusingly) and then to delivered table.

In spite of all this there was no sign of mine in store this morning (ordered Wednesday).

Just got a call there now that it has arrived so it looks like all is well. But expect some high blood pressure.

Great, it's actually changed to "Your order is being processed" now.
Getting it delivered to work, so hopefully arrives tomorrow

breeno · 25-11-2019 4:31pm

Got a text to say mine has been dispatched at about 2pm. Ordered 7am Saturday morning. Very first attempt at ordering.

Looking good so far but I won't trust it until I have the phone in my hand.

See this is the crazy thing.

I ordered Thursday and went back to processing order after showing dispatch and no dispatch info. I fear I have issues in this order again.

Mine had always said 'your order is being processed'. I doubt these Muppets will deliver it

I’ve ordered two and received none. First one was ordered last Monday.

Mine updated to dispatched just after 2 today. Ordered on Friday night.
Checked tracking & it's back to processing.

I swear Vodafone have gone to the dogs.

I’ve had agents laughing at me, transferring me to different departments - lying to me for scripts.

What a joke.

Long story short - my order will be cancelled as no stock.

I ordered on Thursday as a brand new name, new number and to a different email and delivery address and it still went wrong.

That was attempt 3. **** them. I rarely let this get to me but it’s a great deal and was allowing me to spoil herself.

What ****s me off rightly are people here receiving their orders after ordering after myself twice now.

emy · 25-11-2019 8:47pm

Same here, in the morning was "due for dispatch" and now.... Your order is being processed.

That probably means your order will go through. I've had three orders prior to the current one and none of them got to the dispatch stage until the latest one. From reading the experience of others on this thread the flow seems to be : 'Processing' ----> 'Dispatch' ----> 'Processing' ----> 'Order Delivered/Ready for pickup'.

Dr_Colossus · 25-11-2019 9:58pm

It's worse it's getting, managed to input an order on Fri and now when I try and check it's status I get the following error:
"We're sorry, we cannot match the email address you provided with your order. Please review your details, enter your email address and try again."
I was getting a Processing status over the weekend.

Yep. I’m getting the same problem. Guys who have an order you might want to check this out.
