All the SIM cards I've seen lately are 3-in-1.

Cutting micro to nano may end badly.

Contact them and tell them to send out a new one, or go to Carphone Warehouse. Pretty sure they have the tool to cut it properly.

You could go to carphonewarehouse or three as they own them, otherwise get onto 48 website and they'll send you out a replacement sim in a few days.

Definitely.

Some have come from an S4 and haven't looked back.

The phone is excellent for the money, on a par with an S4 I've had, and probably better reception, although I've always had a feeling my S4 was a monday morning phone.

On the cotechs case, yes its a good fit and all, but the one i got has a lot of flashing on the right side on the power button. It is quite poor. I've left a message with the ebay seller.

My cotech is the same, but it was cheap so what could you expect. Not sure which tempered screen protector I got but the thing holds dirt & finger prints like there no tomorrow

Seems to be quite positive reviews for this phone, but the thread has been going some time, is there any upgraded or newer version in the pipeline, Id be a bit sick if I got one and then something else came along.

I'm tempted to switch over to vodafone as a PAYG user, but Im not too keen on their bundles, it seems to be calls,texts or data?

Given the price, I don't think there would be much annoyance in buying now and a new version being released in the summer. It's still a great phone for a great price.

Just get it unlocked and stay with your current provider.

Just disable/uninstall the vodafone apps. Messenger is Googles default sms application now and is installed already. Contacts is not a vodafone app.

Basically you can uninstall or disable all the uninstallable vf apps.

Difficult to complain with one of these phones for the price you pay for it. Its been pretty reliable for me bar needing a screen replacement under warranty because of some strange screen burn issue. The new panel has been perfect ever since. I'd reccomend the phone to anyone.

Much better than the S4 I had.

This is basically some Chinese phone made for vodafone. Look at other chinese phones with even better specs for the same price. My wife has a Smart Ultra 6 free from her cherry points and while good is not a patch on the phone i got for 200 euro unlocked

Ya but at least if something goes wrong you have a shop to go to :-)

what will go wrong. My last huawei honor 6x i had from the day it was released to now and it is still working fine. Two years and its the longest i ever had a phone. My new phone i have had since August and the shops have nothing in the same ball park at any price. I have a company iphone six which if it were not for the company email i would just pop the sim into my duel sim phone. Iphone 6 is such a crap phone it is unreal.

Any chance you could tell us what phone you got, and from where?

LeTV Max X900 from China.

Paid 200 euro and (I am told that many love the built in LeTV steaming service as it has loads of english content plus a music stream service better than spotify without paying for it and unlimited free downloads of tracks, i would not know of such things i really would not)

Are you sure it isn't the LeTV One or One Pro you have? The Max tends to be a good bit dearer.

Honor 6x (aka Plus) was released in December 2014.
