Not available to reserve for Galway. If anyone has a spare code that they've decided they won't be using for the Galway store, I'd be very appreciative of same, thanks

Managed to reserve one in Cork. Got the reservation number too.

redt0m · 14-06-2019 9:25am

Same story again, this time actually says In Stock but when you get to reserve page says Out of Stock

Yep. Tried to order one for my sister there but keep getting OOS message. Annoying the way they leave it until you fill in the details before telling you it's not available.

I have a code for Galway available until tomorrow evening. Anyone want it?

Sorry Gadge,
It is gone via PM. Apologies.

jonerkinsella · 15-06-2019 9:19am

Any spare code for Waterford ?

knowkeya · 15-06-2019 5:27pm

I've a code for Carlow if anyone would like it. Needs to be used by Monday.

Gone

Looks like it's in stock on the UK website? Where did you see it's not in stock? Has anyone ordered from Argos UK? I guess you have to use parcel motel/wizard/address pal and they won't ship direct to Ireland?

So if it's £99, then shipping £4, plus €4 for pm/w/ap, that'll be about €120 too, but in stock

Not available in any branch in Liverpool. You get same result as we do here.

jonerkinsella · 15-06-2019 8:12pm

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

16-06-2019 9:01am

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.

sj20111 · 16-06-2019 10:06am

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.

RasTa · 16-06-2019 12:07pm

Sold out for the next 30 days over here in the UK

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.

Just messaged you there.

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.

Checked Dublin stores only

mossy464 · 17-06-2019 8:34pm

I have one reserved to collect between today and Wednesday. Are they supposed to text you when it's in stock or should I chance going to collect it without getting a text? I reserved it Friday.

Code going for a Redmi 6 in the Ilac Center must be collected by closing time tomorrow.

17-06-2019 11:03pm

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.

tvercetti · 18-06-2019 9:06pm

Collected a Redmi Note 5 today, very happy with it, Cheers OP!

I must say, coming from pure android I do find the MUtated UI very confusing

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

Thanks, yup I use NOVA for the launcher, it's more the settings, some things are a bit muddled and buried under somewhat opaque groupings

Dave..M · 19-06-2019 6:29pm

There is an app called ' MIUI hidden settings 'available on the play store courtesy of XDA which allows you to disable some bloat apps, it also helps a little with the notification confusion.

Berberis · 19-06-2019 8:11pm

Got mine picked up today from Stephen's Green, thanks to the code from sj20111

Blanchy90 · 20-06-2019 8:40am

If anyone has a code for Dublin I'd really appreciate it

PreCocious · 20-06-2019 6:26pm

I have a valid code for Mahon Point since this BA was first posted and it still hasn't arrived in. They first said that a few cages of stock never arrived but no further news.

Bikerman2019 · 21-06-2019 3:16pm

Does anyone have a Dublin code or even one they picked up but changed their mind?

Thanks all

I do, I thought I could trade in old phone but couldn't so I'm just gonna keep my old one.
Paid cash and box is sealed, receipt for omni two days ago.

Edit, I genuinely was returning it this evening so let me know if you want, just returning courtesy of thread here as I was delighted I got it myself.

Squeaksoutloud · 21-06-2019 8:09pm

Interested in a code for greater Dublin area if one knocking around.. Cheers!

Dec4 · 21-06-2019 9:26pm

Do people actually check for stock before they look for reservation codes...?
At the moment it is orderable from Jervis, Ilac St, Stephens Green and there's 1 in stock in Blanch and 1 in Dundrum...
It's called checkargos...:)
