I thought it was 100 per reseller meaning thousands. If its just 100 a time we've got no chance.
That's what I've ordered, but it's cheaper from GearBest and if select NL post it should come via the Netherlands and hopefully avoid import tax.
Be aware it doesn't have LTE 800mhz so you might have limited 4g connectivity depending on carrier.

Decided to give this a punt for 120 quid.

Seems good value for money. The only downside I can see is, it doesn't mention gorilla glass.

Been looking at this. Same spec without the ordering faf. Let us know what its like when it arrives mate.
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
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.

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
) 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.Because its the best spec you can buy for the money? In the few videos I've watched the satnav works fine on kitkat. I'm sure Tauren will give us a good review when he gets it.
Not really bothered by the GPS tbh.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.
Not really bothered by the GPS tbh.
Yes!!!!
I wonder if you can connect an external GPS receiver using OTG or something :/
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!
