Be careful, I got this message trying to review the Note 9. I assumed, as the message says, there was an issue with the device on their system. I found I could still leave a review for the international version, so I did and then within about 24 hours I was banned from reviewing anything on Amazon ever again... all my reviews were removed... 
I was looking at the reviews and wondered why there had been no mention of the issues, so I tried to leave one myself just to see and I got the above.
Won't be trusting Huawei again tbh, from shipping out phones with new firmware to reviewers and then lumbering people with outdated software and slow updates, and the whole screen issue.

wow thats very bad!
Just shows how corrupt big business is...Be careful, I got this message trying to review the Note 9. I assumed, as the message says, there was an issue with the device on their system.

I wanted to like this phone, however I too have conceded. Just too many bugs and quirks with the software, can't be dealing with that. EE have been great providing quick replacements and short wait times on the phone.
I'll be going for the 3XL as originally planned.

You still getting a decent deal on the 3XL?
Nowhere near as good as the Huawei. That was £960 all in over 24 months with free watch+ charger. Plus 60gb data. £40/m. No handset cost.
3 XL will be £48/m for the 128GB/ 60GB Data. £10 upfront. Not too bad.

My mate 20 pro is meant to turn up from EE tomorrow... thrid time lucky? But after reading this this thread im not sure if i want to swap fro m the note 8 to the mate 20 pro?
ideally someone over here would have offered up the mate 20x, but im not prepared to take a risk on buying that outright from abroad, glad i didn't now due to these problems from huwaei.
Anyone enjoying the handset? might be an idea to have a pole on the thread to see how many have given up and returned the device.

Yep, I am. I don't seem to have half/quarter of the issues many others do. It's a slick, device, with some great features and a fantastic camera.

just had a quick look on xda a lot of the moaning seems to be where people are trying to use a launcher rather than how the phone was intended. Which makes sense seems as though EMUI is fair new with regards to market share and most launchers might not cater for it yet.
im assuming if you use the device in its stock state it will most likley work as intended?

The stock launcher is awful.

oh really i was hoping that it was more stock android than the Samsung experience.
After the standard google/ nexus experience my next preference is Motorola as they seem to be very vanilla android. Ihave just not been able to get along with Samsung and having two app stores and two main accounts...

It is quite stock looking, but the launcher is stock from 2014 maybe...
Bar the gestures navigation not working as it should, a 3rd party launcher should not be causing the camera app to crash nor other apps crashing or closing randomly in general. Also I went to check the imei via the dialer and the phone screen just went all fuzzy requiring a reboot. These are just a couple of examples of the poor software.
Note 9.
Heads up!
Version 122 just came through on EE. This could be a game changer
I'll be surprised if they are mate, none of the issues I had were fixed with .122
