Im 100% sure you work in sales.....or for Aliexpress

Haha, just trying to be helpful. $20 off any $200 order is a pretty good deal imo and it ends in a couple of hours. If it wasn't limited to 1 use per customer my bank account would be empty right now.

I will try my best MidlandsM to take it in a good spirit, how is it a load of b0llox? I can post several links but I didn't want to in order to not look like if I am only polluting this thread, if you look at my recent few posts in other threads you will notice that I am in the hunt for a new phone and I plan to move from an IOS to an android hence why I posted here.........and BTW my question was genuine and honest 100%.

Pretty much all phones are made in Asia, so why would 1 brands phone blow a gaff up and the other wouldnt

quick question, Nexus 5 is at 350 EUR, Oneplus one is priced at the same, on top of that the Moto G LTE is priced at around 150 EUR, with all these phones you get a warranty and I am quite sure that from a safe and healthy point of view there is less chance to have a fire in the house from these phones rather than the Chinese unbranded phones, so the question is why should I go for a Chinese unbranded phone rather than one of the three that I mentioned above if the price difference isn't massive?

There is no reason if the price point is right for you m8

The standard of the place where they are made and all the safety componenents might be different even if they are all made in China, sure everything is made in China and that is not the point, the point is all about all the certifications for health and safety that are acquired by big brands prior to making their phones plus all the expertise in the field. In addition from a media point of view a fire because of a well known brand will get more attention than a less known brand.

I never said that a branded phone will never cause fire, my point is about poor level of certifications from a less know brands.

You mentioned above links you could post, I'd be interested to see them. This thread is just the place for them.

I will once I have 50+ posts

RossieMan

He's/shes only trying to up his post count for the 1+1 thread.

I'd be very suspicious about his posting. He/she has very little interest in buying one of these i'd imagine, only looking for posts.

Update on the 1+1. Order status has changed to 'Fund Processing'

Going to assume that's Chinese for refund processing.

Oh well

I guess that counts as 'evidence'.

Between requirements for evidence for posts, and other posts on this thread tis surely time to give up altogether.


Goodnight all.

must be something in the air, bringing out the stupidity in people.

The Moto is made by Motorola - Chinese.
The Oneplusone is - Chinese.
The Nexus is probably - Chinese.

If you are spending €150 there are Chinese phones that are way better than the Moto G.

has anyone got the elephone p8 or p2000? whats your opinions?

Just got confirmation that my order is delayed until next week. I contacted them after your post, I don't think they were going to let me know. They say that the 1S is out of stock in Germany but they can ship from another warehouse for 4 euro extra.

My order's status changed to the same status at about 4.55 this morning, just waiting on a DHL tracking number now. Still a possibility I'll have it to play with over the weekend!

They were doing a bit of humming and hawing over my request for a UK charger plug, so I told them to just ship it with the EU plug. I have a few chargers hanging around at home, and the one I use when I'm on the continent was giving off a worrying amount of heat a few weeks ago on holidays, so I'll be glad of the replacement. Still, though, I was surprised that the request for a UK plug was an issue.

You might be best to relocate to a Bioshock-style gaff underneath the sea, just in case.

It's still a risk. Give the 1+1 to me and reduce the risk by 50%

My mates frustrated with the 1+1 he hasnt got patience or the temperment to fix it, looks like ill have to sell it....or buy it :P

I requested a UK plug/charger when I placed my order, I got this reply;

We always arrange the EU charger to EU countries by random.And you have chosen shipping from EU warehouse,our EU warehouse only a warehouse,they only in charge to ship the parcel,so it have a little hard to arrange the UK charger to you,so we only can say we will try to arrange it.
We are sorry for the inconvenience caused.

Pi$$ed off that I could place my order with the phone not being available, dropped them a message there and see what they'll come back with.

Aside from the yellow screen issue, is he having any other problems with it?
