No sign of a despatch mail from Three yet here. I ordered the Breathing Crystal P30 Pro so hoping that its in stock etc. Just have visions of there being limited stock and finding out late....

Anyone order that colour and get a confirmation of despatch yet?

alanhiggyno1 · 04-04-2019 3:21pm

Due a upgrade today and wondering if its worth it on a 2 year upgrade plan

Yes. Three have removed that colour option now though.

Didn't get a dispatch e-mail but chanced my order number through the tracking and its shipped at 15.09 today, Ordered Breathing Crystal 128GB P30 Pro.

Just checked mine, 15:07. Should get it tomorrow anyway.

Lfcfan2017 · 04-04-2019 4:18pm

Mine was accepted in Balbriggan at 15:08.. Whoooo hoooo

Cienciano · 04-04-2019 5:06pm

I got another email after the dispach one telling me there's going to be a delay because they're in the process of restocking. I assume I can ignore that

MarkY91 · 04-04-2019 6:45pm

Got no email from three but I tried my order number on the an post Website.

"DUBLIN PARCEL HUB, DUBLIN 12 at 17:34 on 04 April 2019"

I have an issue with my address though. Three had my correct address minus my house number. I had no possible option to change it. I did however in the delivery note, add my House number, but I don't think they'll deliver it anyway.
I'm in two minds wether I even want it or not so either way, I guess I'll be happy enough.

Got my Spigen P30 Pro case today, no phone though. Much narrower profile than my current Mate 9. About the same height.. More screen less phone I suppose :-=

Where did you get the case from?

From amazon using parcel motel. I got a trial for prime @99 pence and got £3 discount on the case, so it cost me including parcel motel about €13 I think. Its the rugged armour one.

FatRat · 05-04-2019 8:33am

Mine has been delivered to my office at 8.30 this morning according to An Post. OOO today though but seems legit.

Keith186 · 05-04-2019 9:14am

Looks to be the single sim model as it says L09 on the box. Haven't opened it up yet.

Cienciano · 05-04-2019 9:35am

Mine arrived. You have to sign for it yourself, security man couldn't do it

Gavin1980 · 05-04-2019 9:36am

They just dropped mine at reception, colour is amazing.

A bollocks. Useless to me so.

Anyone want to buy it unopened? Based in Dublin. Would save me the horrible process of a refund.

Gavin1980 · 05-04-2019 9:46am

Yeah just pulled out the tray NM & Sim 1 nothing about a dual sim.

Scruff · 05-04-2019 9:55am

Bugger! Forgot they use NM

Yep, looks fine on my Vodafone sim so far (no calls / texts yet though).

MarkY91 · 05-04-2019 10:15am

What does NM mean?

I found out. So can't even use a micro SD? Jesus!

iHungry · 05-04-2019 10:31am

Anybody want to swap an unopened black p30 pro for another colour unopened?

sth_safal · 05-04-2019 10:35am

Thought I ordered Breathing Crystal but received black. I was thinking of exchanging but there is only return and ordering a new option, so won't qualify for Sonos if I return. If anyone wants it for the cost price, please let me know. You will still qualify for the free Sonos though I might have to claim it, but you can collect it off me once I receive.

I will return on Monday if no interest.

Bought from Three. Located in Dublin 6.

Yes. Seems like. Worked with lyca.

Cienciano · 05-04-2019 10:56am

Some regions seem to include a clear case, I didn't get one. Onto amazon to get one. Definitely getting a clear case for this. No 3 branding at all on the startup.

That's unfortunate because the breathing crystal looks fúcking amazing.

I know. Misfortune that I made a huge mistake. The colour was a deciding factor for me. I have to return it due to this.

MoodeRator · 05-04-2019 11:22am

+1 on the crystal! But afraid to use it yet as my case will not arrive for another few days

I hope you got a clear case.
I'm on amazon now looking for one.

Hard plastic back or the flexible one?

MoodeRator · 05-04-2019 11:34am

I would go with hard back. I had the flex on my HTC and it offered no protection at all. Dropped phone about 2 foot and suffered my first ever cracked screen

Scruff · 05-04-2019 11:38am

i didnt see the option for the crystal one when ordering from 3.
How do you claim the Sonos? i didnt click on the link from 3 to Huawei when i ordered yesterday....

They removed the Crystal one few days back as it was sold out. Even Vodafone just have black now. I got mine from Three.

Sonos have to be claimed through Huawei but you cant do it until 18th April:

Does the p30 pro have a factory fitted screen protector on?

MarkY91 · 05-04-2019 12:05pm

Has anyone tried a second sim? Is it 100% confirmed to be single SIM?

Didn't get to try a 2nd sim but the model number is VOG-L09 which sadly is single sim.

Still in two minds as whether I'll keep it or send back.

Just got a call from carphone warehouse to say they had received my P30

I've ordered that one.

Zoom on the camera is pretty amazing. Obviously digital zoom, but still impressive.

bogman · 05-04-2019 2:14pm

Black P30 Pro ordered from 3 after 4pm yesterday, dispatched today, Breathing Crystal is back on offer with 3, ships in 15 days...
Worthy upgrade to my S9+
Unlocked, ill have to wait to see....

How do you find the zoom over 10 i'm finding the periscope zoom is quite all over the place.

Just got my black p30.
So it's single sim, Virgin mobile sim works, has factory protective film on screen.
I went for flex case, had it on all my phones and never had a screen cracked or other issues.

Small review:
Not impressed by the colour, think I should've went for a different one but I didn't like the crystal, so not many options. Feels kinda cheap material compared to my old s7 edge but it's really really fast.
I dislike the positioning of the camera, it sticks out a lot and I'll definitely scratch it in 2 days. The ultra wide it's just amazing.

314375 points in AnTuTu after update with Performance: On.

MarkY91 · 05-04-2019 2:19pm

Decent phone. Doesn't feel too big and the zoom is amazing but portrait mode on th selfie camera doesn't do anything. There is no bokeh effect at all.

MoodeRator · 05-04-2019 2:39pm

I believe I read on the Hauwei site that some camera effects will be dependent on an OTA update they have planned

It's wobbly, is that the image stabilization probably wouldn't use any digital zoom for actual photos tbh. I'd just use the bigger zooms for showing off to my mates.
