Got my invite earlier as well. Kind of changed my mind about it though, so if anyone wants the code (valid for 72 hours) then let me know (email in trust)!

Edit - Code Gone!

Got my invite too! Will be ordering this tomorrow as it does look like excellent value even if I hate the company.

Why do you hate the company?

Mobius 1 · 4 Nov 2015 at 20:38

Probably due to the invite system. It's pretty archaic.

Silly Goose On The Loose · 4 Nov 2015 at 20:50

Also the fact that they have horrible customer service and their marketing campaigns show contempt.

Ridiculous invite system, and the way they think they are superior to everyone. "2016 flagship killer" but the phone is a let down, even compared to phones that were out before it. They then had the cheek to offer people with either an S6, edge or edge plus the chance to swap for a Oneplus 2 which is just utterly laughable.

No 4g for O2 customers?

If you buy the EU version there is (band 20).

Oh that's decent then.
Was debating if to get this or the nexus 6 for its purer os...
Kinda tempted for this phone now.

When will the Icons (the earphones) come out?

daveski · 5 Nov 2015 at 09:09

Ordered one this morning. Hope I don't regret it.

Brozart · 5 Nov 2015 at 09:11

And now we wait.

I may well get the GF one of these, her S4 is quickly dying.

I doubt it, its a solid buy imo. The only features I would have liked to have is usb-c, a fingerprint scanner and ois - but these weren't a deal breaker at £200.

Ordered mine. Rather annoyingly the premium screen protector is out of stock.
I have a spare invite but I've no idea if I can share it.

GLF7-E3F1-524C-DCBE

That's the invite code. If somebody wants to try it then they're welcome to it. But please say that the code has been tried or used.

Here's another one:

So what's the thinking on this then?

My Nexus 5 is dying, and I'm uninspired by the 5X. For £200 it looks like a toss up between this and the WileyFox Storm.

Anything else to consider?

I'm not sure why people think this is a worthy Nexus 5 upgrade. Fair enough if yours is dying but don't expect anything special.

So my invite just arrived. You have 72 hours to convince me not to use it
