Anyone have experiences of Netherlands Post to share?

Not with anything from China, just stuff to/from NL to Ireland.

I would say frighteningly efficient.

Great inventors those Dutch. They invented the idea of putting a finger in a hole in a wall.

What did the Dutch ever do for us though? Apart from Heineken, inventing tulips, liberalising prostitution and joints? What have they ever done?

Meizu M1 Note is official: http://m.gsmarena.com/meizu_m1_note_is_official_packs_55inch_1080p_display_for_160-news-10562.php

€131 launch price for 16gb version, a lot of bang for your buck. No mention of microsd, though.

That looks like one hell of a phone. Serious battery. Will be interesting to read finer details. 4g and dual sim to boot.

It's getting ridiculous with what you can get for in and around the €150 mark.

Serious value to be had and maybe more will realise that there is a lot better phones than the moto g to be had in it's price point.

Hi all and hope everyone had a great Christmas and will have a wonderful new year, thinking of getting a Chinese phone for myself and it will be my first one so what do the guys (and girls) on here think of the THL 5000 (THL 5000 5.0 inch 1080P Octa-Core 2.0GHz Android 4.4 KitKat 3G Smartphone) Thanks in advance for the help.
Under 200 yoyo and looks like a huge battery.

Nice. Was tempted by it. Did you ask for a low customs value to be written on it?

If I didnt have an Xperia z3 I'd be interested in getting my hands on the Meizu Mx4 pro. Looks like an unreal phone.

It is, but Meizu finally opened up to international orders on the 23rd and the price is a whopping $579 for the 16 GB and $619 for the 32 GB (includes delivery & VAT). I've been waiting to buy it since it was announced but I can't justify the purchase at that price.

Etotalk saying they think they will stock next week.....this is going to be drawn out .

I looked at this too

Seems to be a phone that has the O2 4G band and a 5" screen and dual sim

Be interesting to see how it pans out

I saw Gearbest said no stock until early Jan, when next delivery / batch comes in

Ok guys im looking for some advice while buying a new Chinese phone.
I bought 2 phones from aliexpress before Christmas and i got them last week. I got an s5 clone and an m8 clone . Anyway the m8 clone is fantastic, id say 80% quality. The s5 however is an absolute disaster.
The problems after one week are,
1. The back cover is made of paper, ie. it is chipping away day by day.
2. The back camera is all blurred until i reverse it to the front camera nd then back again,
3. The touch screen is awful, cant slide in games because its jumping.
4. The battery life is 4 hours even on standby
5. The charging port cover just fell off.

So after much negotiating the seller has agreed a partial refund of €80. So now i want to buy a new hone and im looking for suggestions. I looked through the posts here and one stands out ( Doogee Turbo2 DG900 ) but as i said im open to suggestions, thanks alot guys.

That ad you linked to the S5 Clone must be the worst example of mixing and matching specs in one ad that I have ever seen.


Is it 16 different options (including 3 different chips mentioned!! Dual Quad and Octa).

I would not be giving that seller any more of my money if I was you. How much did you pay for the S5 Clone ?

kalel76

It was about €125 and it was the Octa Core MTK6592 Android 4.4 that i got.

kalel76

Is the Elephone 3000s better than the Elephone P8 Pro 5.7Inch MTK6592?
