Maybe, but the Samsung screen is gorgeous and that's coming from an iPhone 4 user. I know the sensation has a qhd screen, but the super amoled plus is impressive.
I just want to get my hands on a sensation. Am soooo impatient!

I thought the release date was the 18th.
Have just spoken to them on the phone and Vodafone aren't getting them until the 18th and may not dispatch until 19th was the message I just got????

Yes, the UK Vodafone website says:
Pre-order yours today and we will aim to deliver your order by the 19th May

Ahh fcuk it !!!!!
Thought we would get some action today.
Was under assumption that u could walk into VF store amd just buy it today
Another week of waiting.
This and the thought of a nexus 3 at xmas
My head really hurts.....

Think I'll just buy a Nexus 3 (providing it's good) at Christmas. I mean, we know the software will be good...but the hardware is a different matter altogether (especially if it's by LG )
Can't wait until we get some real good user reviews of the Sensation

The VF UK website always said "Expect to receive your device around 19th May"
Pre-ordered mine, so hoping to get one soon! Should get an email day of dispatch.

Chose to have mine delivered to my local Voda store

Me too but I'm not sure that changes the date it just means they post to the store rather than you but at least someone will be there to collect

That's what I am hoping too. Also I believe that if anything goes wrong with the handset you can just take it back to the store rather than sending it back?
Correct me if I'm wrong.

Can you not do that either way.
I always upgraded over the phone and got the phone posted to me but went into store for problems

I think with orange you have to send the handset back if you get it online. O2 told me that after the first 30 days I can go instore. Not sure about the other networks.

Sony Xperia Z Dock in White

I've just ordered my dock in white from clove for £24.99 plus delivery (£3 for 1-3 postage) if anyone is interested http://www.clove.co.uk/sony-xperia-z-dk26-charging-dock Clove appear to be the only ones that have it in stock :good:

Yeah about an hour ago I took a look at the website, it really seems to be the only one that's selling these things at the moment.
Even the damn Sony site keeps saying coming soon... BUT HOW SOON IS SOON!!!
Still thinking whether to order at Clove or not.

I hate it when they saying coming soon too, we need to know now!!
I've just ordered it haven't got the phone yet lol, get it tomorrow.

I'd like the white dock too but waiting for someone to show stock... I have the black Z but like the white dock, will look nice in my bedroom.
Was hoping to get the black one in the accessories offer from Sony but by IMEI isn't qualifying, might try again. I'm surprised they're not available for launch though considering they were bundled in some territories.

Reliable shop for order you v10 [TESTED]

hi folks,
i have to admit that i wasn t feeling confortable by ordering the v10 on ebay, but i didn t knew that i d found a very reliable shop, so i wanted to share my experience.
i ve been looking this for days http://www.ebay.fr/itm/New-Latest-U...ses-Beige-Blue-White-Free-FedEx-/171967433258 and then i ve decided to sale my g4 for get this one.
i ve contacted the shop, they sended it to me in fedex priority shipping with no extra charge, and i received my v10 within two days.
you can see here the unboxing, packaging was perfect https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aW3klg7n1Sg the box has just been open before for be set to english instead of korean , an explained on ebay.
So if you are looking for a reliable shop, here is a good one, very safe, respond to message in a snap, i am not an easy customer, i know that, but they were far above any of my expectations.
If you do order with 153shopping, add as message "recomanded by zechauve" you ll be treated like vip
because we can easy say f+++ y++ , when you have to say thank you, you must say so:
THANK YOU 153shopping, you made my day )

Hi,
Can I ask if you had to pay custom charges and if so, was this via Fedex who also add their own charge?
Thanks
Lithgow

Yes, I have also seen that. There is an LG V10 dual sim (http://pdadb.net/index.php?m=specs&id=8889&c=lg_h968_v10_dual_sim_td-lte_lg_hpf) but I haven't heard of it being released. Not sure if this is a replica or not. I've asked the seller details about the model name and real pictures but haven't heard back.

Anyone got the grey Pure XL yet?

I placed an order on the grey version last Friday but no ETA yet. The gold version is in stock though.

On Amazon I placed order for gray phone it was placed on back order. I canceled that order on Sunday. Placed new order Monday and it went straight thru. Phone will be here today Wednesday.

Still no shipping notification on either order :banghead:

The Gold has gone out of stock and then back in stock while the Grey has remained out of stock the entire time. I called Blu's sales office (who lied on release day about it being Amazon's fault) and again they said that it was Amazons fault and i needed to contact them to see when the phone would be available. These freakin people, how do you run a company like this?

Btw, i do question onemotodroids assertion that he received his grey unit as no pics or supporting evidence were given while I cannot find anyone else out there claiming to have received one.

Then you won't mind posting a photo?

Do you guys have Prime? I do, for me the gold one is always in stock, at least every time I look. It's in stock now.
The screen on the Pure XL is outstanding for reading. Yes, it's better than the N6. I just need root!
I will install an AT&T Sim in the XL on Saturday and see if I can live workout root as a DD.

No one is saying the gold is not in stock and available now. Some of us are skeptical about your claim to have purchased and received the *grey* Pure XL from Amazon without waiting. The grey has never been in stock according to Amazon's web site are there are people who have pre-ordered and have been waiting for it from the first day the page was up (Oct 19) without any word of availability from Amazon. It seems improbable to us that you simply ordered it last week and received it in a couple of days as you claim. So we'd like you to post a photo of your grey Pure XL.

Anyone kind of wondering whether or not the Grey edition actually exists? Its now over a month since the 'launch' date, the gold unit has been in and out of stock several times on Amazon with no sign of the Grey aside from the "Temporarily out of stock" label that hasnt changed once. The way that they keep blaming Amazon when its clearly NOT THEIR FAULT really makes me wonder what a company like this is capable of. If the Grey unit never shows, and it was only the Gold all along, I guess i just wouldnt be surprised one bit at this point.
Edit: Come to think of it, I dont believe that ive seen any video reviews of this phone that werent the Gold version.

Amazon just sent me an ETA for Nov 11 for the grey phone I ordered on Oct 23!

Man, that's how I felt with the gold and pre order, not pre-order dilemma. My decision to wait a day to do my pre-order cost like one extra day which at that point had already been way past the whole 9/29 original date was my feeling. Phone is worth it. You'll love it. Now, I wonder if the black will ever surface. Fortunately I wanted the gold to begin with!

360 Camera On Sale $19!

It just went on sale for only $19!
https://shop.essential.com/products/360-camera-sa
P.S. I just edited this post to show you Essential it's me that sent you the email, still asking if I can get the deal I just missed...

Thanks a ton! Got the 5$ case for it aswell.

That's my thought exactly!
Looks like they're trying to get rid of the remaining stock.

Probably means nothing but my hope is that they are going to release new products. I don't see why they would enroll into the Android P beta program just to drop the phone a few months later.

If you want to release a home device you need a customer base as big as you can get. This is one way to increase the numbers.

bought one...can't wait to use it

I was thinking this too, make a big sale wave in the phone market, grab attention, and build up more users...

I wonder how long it will take to ship? Hoping to get mine by the end of next week for a trip. Looking forward to playing around with it

@antmunny & @rambleon84, let us know when you get it, how you like it.

@DoR3M3: Thanks for posting that deal! I can't wait to see how well it works with Android P. They may well be clearing the shelves for new and improved items!

To Skin or Unskin, that is the question? LOL

I managed to snag one of these literally minutes before the sale ended. Bought it, went back to the page 30 minutes later and it was back up to $49. Can't wait to get it, may need to get a different case though.
