Okay - ta

What is this nonsense from DPD - it's 11.25 and the tracking link still says "Your parcel has arrived at our depot".

Well hurry up and let me know when it's arriving please, parcel people!

Had mine updated, between 1pm and 2pm for me.

Did you get a text/email about it, or did it just update on the tracker when you checked it?

Mine's sitting at local homebase for collection on my way home. Did the claim just now, let me do it so we'll wait and see.

Yeah what's with that?

This isn't 2015. I don't understand why Google has made the pixel 5 be under NDA.

Compared to most phones these days, and their multiple optics etc this phone feels well light - good wind and it'll blow away.

The lighter the better Imo. How's the haptic motor quality feel?

Should have mines by then

3:15-4:15pm window

They're so-so , as is the sound. Maybe restrained by how light/flimsy the device feels. Definitely feels like a mid-ranged phone, especially after holding the 2kg Fold 2.

All about the SW and the camera with this device for me, so expectations are focused on those areas.

got mine. indeed does feel more towards midrange but maybe that's just all in my head. if this was the xl version, and i'd paid £850, perhaps i'd be assuming high price = high quality.

the screen is basically the exact same size as my 2xl, just a small sized phone. i feel i need to buy a little handbag to put this phone in

The Fold 2 is a murder weapon compared with the 5

Interesting to hear what people think of the green in the flesh. I think a lot of people went for it (sold out way before the black) just wondering if they stand by the decision now they have the device in hand.

I got black then changed my mind so hope I like it!

Right it's on the way, I got my text and it's coming between 4.30 and 5.30. Enfield Pixel Crew has to wait till the end of the day, but that's OK.

michty_me · 14 Oct 2020 at 12:09

Did you guys wait to receive the phone before putting in your claim?
My phone is still on the way to the depot so unsure if I should wait.

Sorry just seen this, no i didn't get any notification, i had just been checking DPD's tracking after 11am (when the time allocation was due with it being with driver/van).

I'm waiting till mine arrives. The claim form includes a tick box to state you have received the phone. I don't want them to have any argument to knock back my claim
