Can anyone confirm will the 4g work in ireland? Thinking of pulling the trigger on this? seems great spec phone for the price... Its on presale on coolicool.com for teh same price, any reason not to buy from there??

According to the spec on the website it should work fine on 4G here, I would be inclined to wait until it is released though before purchasing.

Well three confirmed that their sims are all 4G ready, so it has to be the phone, do any of you know how to check what bands a phone uses?

Looks like cracking value for €245. Was hoping the FDD Mi4 would be available by January, but even if it is, it'll cost a sight more than this.

Anyone on here have experience of Zopos? Specifically build quality and ROM availability.

Looks like there is, one for Europe and another for Asia, the specs noted on Xiaomishop.com have Irish bands.

So I tracked my phone..

2014-11-14 17:21
The item has arrived in the country of destination
2014-11-13 07:33
The item is on transport to the country of destination
2014-11-12 09:58
The item is at the PostNL sorting center
2014-11-06 10:10
The item is pre-advised

does that mean its in Ireland now?

when can I expect it to be delivered?

is this fast compared to other times?

Have you tried the tracking number with the An Post website?

If it's in Ireland, according to the Dutch post office, and An Post don't have it, it might be with Customs?

Would it register on the An Post site when its with customs? Will I get an update this week?

Gizchina gives zopo some good reviews.
Black Friday might give a bit of a discount.

I doubt its in Ireland yet, it'd show up on tracking if it was.

Just noticed something from the site you linked:

FDD-LTE:：800/1800/2600MHz

First one I've seen with that band from those parts. Opens up the possibility of sticking with Vodafone.

Pre advised usually means electronic information about the package has been sent, but the physical item hasn't moved yet.

Got word from zopo that they expect the phone to be in their EU warehouse next month.
It can still be ordered presale for despatch from EU for 31or 46€ depending on service.

I'm bringing my Mi3 into wizz this morning to see if they can replace the screen.
It will make it hard to justify another new phone

Hi Tatranska,

Did they confirm that was for the phone linked below or was it for the Zopo ZP999?

www.zopomobileshop.com/en/309-zopo-3x-zp999-lite-mt6595m-smartphone.html

uck51js9zml2yt

From my reading it looks like a rebranding of the 999.

corwill

It's just the 16gb version of the 999, I think. Not sure why they're named differently. Intended for different markets, perhaps.

theduffer

Ya id be happy enough to get the 16gb version. Do zoposhop have it in the eu warehouse? from what i have seen it doesnt appear to be in the eu warehouse. Tatranska did zoposhop tell you that 16gb version would be in their eu warehouse next month?

This looks like a great deal(correct me if i'm wrong).If you pre-order in the next couple of days they send you the 3GB Ram, 32Gig version.

Nice bit of kit
It has the new chip

Lads, where have you's been hiding:) I posted about this phone on the 10th and only webels took any interest in it.

It really is great spec for the price and i tried to buy it(pre-order) from tinydeal in the link above.

I made the "mistake" of trying to get it sent to parcel motel as their system wouldn't alow it to be shipped to the UK as they picked up i was ordering on an Irish IP address(madness).

Anyway, decided to use a UK proxy to put the order through and it "seemed" to be ok. This must have triggered something on their system(wonder why:)) and they sent me a e-mail a few days ago looking for a scan of my card, to sign an authorization form and send them a scan of my passport and a utility bill. NOT A CHANCE THEY WERE GETTING THAT so that order was cancelled.

So i guess i'm blacklisted on their site but the deal is still on to pre-order the 16GB and get the 32G for the same price so €240 for the 32Gb version delivered(albeit by snail mail with the chance of customs catching it) is an absolute steal.

Rant over:D

RossieMan

i wouldn't go near parcel motel with an order that has even the smallest possibility of customs. They won't accept it.
