it appears Gmac11 3 posts above spotted and shared that deal

He did indeed

I'll admit to being a little bit selfish, I wanted to make sure I got mine ordered before sharing

. Ordered Just Black but they have Panda in stock too.

Haha. Well spotted.

_Jimlad_ · 21 Nov 2017 at 23:05

Not bad deal tbh.

I am happy to share my ee 20% code if anyone else needs just pm me.

Eatchipz · 21 Nov 2017 at 23:37

Just ordered one also. Said I had no interest in this phone but that deal is hard to turn down.

Little apprehensive about moving from Three to O2.

LadFromWales · 21 Nov 2017 at 23:39

o2 aren't all that brill in Wales, so no good for me

Still waiting on my P2XL Panda 128 from EE, it's supposed to come tomorrow but before EE's site went down for maintenance it still said it was awaiting dispatch, and I've had no text or email from DPD.

Will see what they say tomorrow, though I'd rather keep my number and not go through the hassle of porting it out and back in again, to get one of the deals on mobiles.co.uk.

I just want my phone!

Does that work for sim only plans too?

Glad I could be of service! Out of interest did you try the DealEnvy code that was mentioned over on the HUKD thread? I didn't think it was applicable to the 2XL but be interesting to see if it worked.

I did and it brought the up front cost down to £175 and just got an email from qudico to say my £25 cashback has been tracked.

After reading more up to date reviews on the phone blue shift still seems to be the biggest issue. Anyone have any personal experience with the device and wish to comment?

Then that is weird. I'd say its time to contact Google.

Are you referring to Google themselves, if so, what's the best way of doing this?

Or do you mean through the Pixel User Community?

Fairly sure the answer is no said:
can you upload a photo of the live case around the screen. i'd like to see a close up from a some what side angle. i am sure any case that goes above the screen will create a well for lovely loads of fluff to collect

Try this link. You will see all the angles. And if you start to create it based on a photo, you can see it formed even better as you can rotate it to varying angles.

I'm not allowed to post my videos, but yesterday I uploaded my 35 minute review! I also have a video purely on the screen. Hopefully I'm allowed to say click the link in my sig if you want to see them

Yes, I'd use the built in support.

Did you got it from Google?

All I can say is I stopped noticing the blue shift after 24 hours and I only really noticed it on whites. Blacks look great on this phone. The live earth pic that comes with it looks fantastic.

I think so pal. You enter it on the website when you check out

No, I got it from CPW.

Sorry, if this seems like a lame question, but the built in support?

V_R · 22 Nov 2017 at 08:54

Go into settings, right down the bottom you should see 'support' - you can call/chat from there.

I've got some interesting pictures of a side by side comparison to my G6 with regards to blue shift.

I guess , but for me I don't notice it anymore and when watching a film or using anything is not 100% white screen it's not an issue

I have never bought a white phone before but I am sorta regretting not getting the panda edition of this phone now.

It looks nice but I prefer the black myself although I would have liked a different colour power button on the black.
