Saw a tweet from Paul O'Brien from Modaco who said that the normal P20 isn't worth the money at all and you really need to just go for the pro.
A curved screen is more of a deterrent than a selling point for me.

The headhpones sweeten the deal but other than that I agree, you might as well grab a view 10 and save ton of money.

few things
ive read the UK handsets are single sim with no MicroSD slot, true?
also does anyone know if this will support EE wifi calling and EE VoLTE?

Not sure on the SD situation but as EE are offering it I imagine it should have support... Will confirm next week ')

Battery size doesn't matter if the software optimisation is poor :/
carphone warehouse site says that the single sim ones they are selling take up to 256gb micro sd. I also saw something from o2 saying that they take micro sd so guess these are single sim too. EE site says External memory (Up to) 256.0 GB External memory type MicroSD. Three site implies it's dual sim and micro sd I think they might have it wrong.
Previous Huawei models including Mate 10 Pro have done very well on the battery front.
On the other hand I've been victim to these "well optimised" flagship phone batteries for last few years now. Especially once the capacity starts to drop after a year or so, my Samsung S7 Edge is very disappointing these days when it comes to battery life.

They're good until the software becomes bogged down and then battery life goes downhill - not to mention speed etc
Just reset my gf's Honor 9 and it was fine for the first few days, but battery life and speed has plummeted again :/
I just don't think I could own a phone again that isn't running stock android.

Well the nexus 6P was Huawei made and they had awful battery issues. Only just got mine replaced last month by them and it's already weakening again. Do I trust Huawei battery stats? No but then everyone else is the same too.
It's a good price phone if you sold the headphones though. I am tempted to change my 6P now.

mental, everything about triple cameras just screams wrong and yet it goes a posts a DXOMark score of 109. Hat's off to them, very impressive.
Yes it's true. I reached out to Huawei UK and they said the UK devices do not have a SD card. Dual SIM won't be released just yet..just 128GB and single SIM configuration for the time being.

That's just killed it for me. I really want a dual sim phone. I have to carry around an iPhone 6S and a Nexus 6P and when I am on call a iPhone 5C. I need to reduce my phone outlay by at least 1 at times haha.
EE just said the SD card is up to 256gb but no dual sim. Not sure who to believe Huawei or EE haha

Same I'm not too fused about the SD card but really wanted a dual sim phone.
GSMarena, Phonearena, CPW and Clove are all stating that the phone has a SD card slot whilst various YouTubers are saying it doesn't. I don't know who to believe either.
EDIT
Just had a look on the Huawei website and you can buy the dual sim versions from O2 and 3 in Black. If you want the Blue dual sim you can buy it from 3.
The twilight version only comes in dual sim and isn't available to buy at this moment in time.
Also specs on the Huawei website don't mention anything about the SD card slot.

O2 site doesn't have the Pro with any tariffs as yet 
edit: Pre-order from 29 March and claim a pair of Bose wireless headphones.

Same with 3. The headphones that are being offered are really good.
Not looking to get a contract just want a Sim free device. Might look at importing one of these my usual source if the price isn't too high. The international versions of Huawei phones always come with dual sim capability.

That is stock. Huawei continue to support the P9 and have recently sent an OTA update to Android 7.

Three will be selling the Dual sim variant http://www.three.co.uk/Huawei/P20_Pro?featuretab=Specifications&memory=128&colour=Black
