Sure thing. It's in the post as we speak. Was shipped out from gearbest 2 days ago. So i'm hoping it'll arrive next week sometime :D its worth a shot for so little money.

The thing that put me off the elephone was the HUGE black bezel/border around the screen. (i know the ecoo has one, but its much smaller) I'm not sure what elephone are thinking adding such a large border!

Here's the specs if anyone hasn't seen in the link.

The phone achieves an antutu score of over 40,000. so not bad

Seems incredible for the money. I agree on the bezels and I prefer the placement of the finger print scanner as well, can't see it being that easy to reach on the elephone.
Is there any risk of import duty or anything on gearbest? Looks like its gone up to £130 now.

They ship it via netherlands post I believe which is the best way to avoid import duty. (dont quote me on this though. I haven't ordered many things from china :D )

Some gearbest coupon codes you can try are..

Should knock you a few quid off.

I agree though, amazing specs for such a cheap price :) hopefully theres no hidden letdowns.
 
Not really bothered by the GPS tbh. :D and it can't be that bad.. Can it? :eek: either way, for the specs, it's a bargain! That's if the phone lives up to the specs ;)

If its the same as previous iterations of the MTK chipsets then they really are 'that' bad. Hopefully though Mediatek have made some strides and performance is much improved.
 
Ah well.. Nevermind. I don't use GPS so I'm okay with it being a bum feature of the phone. Maybe the new mediatek helios chipsets which are coming will be a much improvement of what they're offering at the moment.

For 120 notes I can't really complain if GPS is a little cack. I'm buying this as I need a bigger screen. Browsing these forums on a 4.7 inch phone strains the eyes a bit!
