Looks like decent value. The main issue being delivery through and unlocking the phone itself. Maybe some techies here can advise. Delivery should work through Parcel Motel I'd say?

Sit tight the Irish networks should have there xmas offers out in the next week or two. That's working out at about 215 before parcel motel and cost of unlocking.

if your into music you'll get a way better set of headphones for the money than those beats and if they can include the P9 lite at that price you can be sure there's a price drop due on the P9 lite for xmas, Huawei will be mad for market share from Samsung this year.

100 euro headset with a soon to be 130 euro phone, no not a bargain with the effort involved. 2/3 weeks time is when to buy a phone and don't wait until after xmas to get a bargain as prices rise again after that.

How'd you figure it's soon to be a 130 euro phone?

There isn't a hope in hell this phone will be €130 at Xmas. It retails here at €240 you'd be doing well to get it for €200

Jesus someone throws up a bargain on bargain alerts and people try and knock it down.. why?

It's clearly a bargain due to more or less free beats headphones regardless of what people think of the brand. Plus Irish network rip us off with most of their payg deals.

Thanks op for the initial post

One thing about that deal is a tick box that says you need to provide proof of identity on delivery, which parcel motel won't be able to do for you.

I thought it looked like a good deal. I have no interest in the Beats and would hope to flog them if I bought this.

Fully agree. It's also an excellent phone, for €215 with a pair of Beats (which you can just sell for a good chunk) it's an absolute no-brainer.

It will not be €130 or anything close at Christmas. Seems to me people just want to take some bizarre satisfaction out of shooting down what is an incredible deal.

drunkmonkey

You've to buy it with 20 quid credit.

I'll bet 200 euro will get you a good deal here in the next few weeks happens every year.

Tried to buy this earlier in the week but ee wouldn't accept an irish credit card and wanted a uk one.

Anyone been able to successfully receive this phone.

Great bargain. Cant seem to buy online unfortunately but ill be making a journey to newry before Christmas some fantastic savings to be made.

I've worked for EE before, they really don't deliver the item without identification on receipt..... could turn out to be a lot of hassle

I hope the battery life on the P9 Lite is better than that of the P8 Lite ,which is appalling.

Cheapest price for both together in the republic I can find is €360. £179 is working out at €200.
Thats a huge saving.
Title is misleading in fairness.

I just ordered one with a Revolut card with pick up at an EE store. My family live in London so I'll be over before Christmas to collect. They may still knock the transaction back as I've not received confirmation of the sale from Revolut, but it's worth a try.

Thanks OP.

Think they will take the order, but not process it and your card wont be debited.

I think you're right. Although I've received confirmation of my order from EE the lack of confirmation from Revolut makes me think this isn't a goer.

I have a P9 lite and I assure you the battery is fantastic 3000mah (all day from 6:30am tell 10:30pm heavy usage" FB Instagram, steaming video) no problem

Yeah, I swapped my S6 for the P9 Lite and it's a big improvement in battery department. Excellent phone for the money.

I picked one up in Newry the weekend before last for £129.99 + £10 top up.

It is a smashing phone and battery life seems very good , but there is a big but, it must be one of the trickiest phones to unlock.
Dc-unlocker doesn't work for me, then I ordered a code online (everywhere it tells you that it will take up to a week, which I found bizarre, but even after the week was over, they got back to me stating they needed more time..) If that route doesn't work I will set up an account with EE and get them to unlock as a last resort..

When I am saying battery life seems very good, I obviously haven't used it a lot, but on standby with wifi on and a couple of hours playing around with it each day (taking pics, speedtests, downloading and configuring apps, emails etc) , it lost less than 40% after 5 days. My Moto G would loose that in less than one day by only being on standby.

kala85

Anyone have any luck with buying one online.

rabii

I unlocked mine using service in ebay for 7 euro or so. it's true sometimes it take's up to 10days. it worth it do. the item number is 222206951089 sorry I don't know if I could post the link or no but you can serch for the number in ebay.co.uk

Happy_Harry

I have just actually registered the EE number on their site and requested an unlock code from them directly.. doesn't harm having a few irons in the fire..

sapphade

Still waiting on this 130 euro phone. Three weeks are almost up and none of the networks appear to have offered any significant discounts here.

The first crowd I asked have now refunded me after 3 weeks, as they couldn't get it. So, yes, it is hard, still waiting for EE to unlock mine and I will go to ebay now as well

I got one during the week and the black one was £129.99 plus £10 top up and he said the gold one was £30 more. Anyway it seems to be cheaper in store than online. Lovely phone though. I will have to get it unlocked 🙄😂 at some stage and the free beats headphones are a plus too.

Thanks for the reply, would love to get one of these at this price before xmas but doesnt seem likely now

There are a few versions of this phone. Be careful.

Make sure you get the 3GB RAM version not the 2GB version.

With the 3GB version there are two types, the L21 and L22.

The L21 supports NFC (Android Pay) but fewer bands.
