If you are able to track it to there, I'd imagine it's safe enough. They probably were moving it from station to truck last night, and it's out with deliveries today.

Couriers like DHL often operate between 9AM and 5PM for deliveries I think (at least in my experience).

You could always give them a call, they'd be able to give you an update if you can expect it today or not.

I still only have one, there could be 11 going around Dublin at the moment though!!

This one is for the young fella, as his Redmi 1S has seen better days!!

Guys, I'm looking for some help please. I'm looking for 2 different phones, and I've been looking at reviews and YouTube, and just end up going round in circles and getting more confused 😕. Any pointers would really be appreciated!

The first one is a replacement for a xiaomi redmi s1. Needs to be same size or up to 5", and as good performance / screen as possible for €150 —200.
Would help if it had dual sim to use for a while, but not a showstopper, as it would only be used for a while. Afterwards would just be used as a regular single sim phone. Need an micro sd slot, but could be one of the sim slots. I want to order that in the next week or so.

The second one is for an Xmas gift, so can order later.
Looking for a 5.5" good all rounder, with budget of €300.
Want it to work out of the box (Google play) so it can be given as a gift.
A lot of the flagship killers seem to push €400-500, and the Meizu m2 note pro or the Elephone P7000 seems good, but none with compromise especially as they are below my budget. Is there a better bang for buck for my budget, or has anyone got these to recommend.

Sorry for the long ask, but any help appreciated!

Ubik Uno, LeTV Le1 and ZUK Z1 all fit the second budget anyways

OPO 64GB for €299 would be my choice - especially as a gift.

Someone who's name I've forgotten posted a review a few weeks back

Ardennes1944

Was tempted to get the 32gb which is 219dollars atm or the Pro which is 299do.

I'm looking for the letv x600 the only place I have found it shipping from Europe is oppomart is this a good store or is there a better one you could suggest?

Ardennes1944

Its 283euro delivered with no vat from Oppomart for 32gb Letv One Pro, good price!

JoeOD1998

I have a budget of 250 so I can't get the pro so I just want to know what the best website to get the letv x600 from Europe

Iseedeadpixels

30 Euro to customs at least my phone arrives today.

Thanks. I like the look of the ZUK, and the international version has just gone on sale, so I'll wait for some feedback.

Anybody any thoughts on a good 5", with or without dual sim?

Ardennes1944

A good 5"....Z9 nubia mini?

I'm waiting for the Xiaomi Mi4C. Will post a review whenever Oppomart get round to shipping it.

Jelle1880

Also looking at that Mi4C, it looks really nice for that price. But again no SD card slot

I like that. Lot of Indian reviews, one complaining about software but most ok.
Is gearbest ok? There seem to be recommendations in posts, but then mention of avoiding because of what they had done. Or is there someone else safer to go for?

Thanks

Just sign into freak tab .com and see for yourself, people are having lots of problems with gearbest.
