Gearbest are good. You can trust them. I ordered a phone from them. They promptly posted it via Netherlands post, included a picture of the parcel and a tracking number. Took about 7 days to get here.
Edit. Didn't get stung in import duties either.

At £108 there doesnt seem to be any catch or anything to lose in getting one.

Going to Hong Kong in a months time. Is it worth picking something up? I've no idea about Chinese phones...
How easy are they to root? Are they well supported?

Just ordered one myself
Hows the fingerprint scanner?
Where did you order from?
I'm so tempted, this or the umi iron.
I ordered from Gearbest as per the recommendation above.
Eh? Hong Kong is in china. Elephone is a chinese brand
Heh, geography is not my strong point ! more embarrassing i have actually been there !!
I bought the P8000 from Focal Point, along with this that has come today, no customs charges on either -
Ulefone Be Touch 2, already i prefer this to the P8000, slimmer and lighter (though the battery is only 3050), it's very similar in looks and feel to the iPhone 6+ (though not metal unibody).
Completely stock android 5.1, dual slim, pretty much identical spec to the P8000, was slightly more expensive at $230.
There where rumours of this overheating so will have to see how i get on with it.
Got to wonder why with phones like this people (read me
) keep splurging on the high end Samsung's etc.

Not exactly a chinese phone but can get a brand new LG G2 33GB european version for £131.99 on the bay with import taxes works out at £158. Is there anything to look out for with these imports from HK?

Does it come with a UK charger or adapter?
When my phone arrived, it was shipped with a uk adapter. The charger, however, was not UK.
Its all micro usb nowadays anyways, so you'll have no trouble charging any phone bought from china.

It seems if you do look past Samsung/Sony/LG etc, you can get a ton of phone for your £££
Anyone been looking at the Lenovo Vibe Shot? Looks lovely with a metal casing, 800 / 1800 / 2100 / 2600 MHz LTE, Quallcom SoC instead of possibly-dodgy-GPS MediaTek etc. etc!

Looks like they're around ~£230 notes from HK on the 'bay, I'm very tempted!

I like the look of the R7 and the R7+, but apparently they're only on 4.4.2, and 6" is just tooo huge for me!
