I hope so, but it's also possible that they'll sell all the current batch of stock in the USA, and we'll have to wait again.

Just got the shipping email 
. Finally!
I have to say, I expected them to be shipping at the very end of the "3 week" period.. Wasn't expecting half way. A little sugar on the whole sour experience.

Does anyone else's app drawer stutter flicking through the widgets section?
Soldato
How do you sideload?
Never done it before.
You need to boot into the stock recovery by:
- Holding vol down + power
- Cycle through the options using vol down until recovery is displayed
- Press the power key
- Press vol up and power together to bring up the recovery menu
- Select install via adb
- Use ADB command given to you by the phone, within a command prompt window on a computer with adb setup

^There's a way to avoid the tax?
Soldato
yeah im sure there is, just google it, properly something along the lines of him opening it, taking the paperwork out and wrapping it in xmas paper and labeling as a gift...
Soldato
Yup, gifts are usually tax free. I've sent stuff to my friends in Singapore before and the label that you stick on the package will ask you if it's a gift etc. Will be easy at this time of year as well I'm sure.
Had a quick play with an N4 today in the O2 store, couldn't do much with it as it was fixed to a stand so couldn't hold it or see the back.
The screen is nice, on my wallpaper below the screen is a lot less vibrant and saturated compared to my S3, but in normal use the colours are good and balanced. Couldn't check viewing angles though, and the unit was under a bright light.
The phone was fast and smooth, screen seemed responsive enough in my brief usage, no noticeable lack of sensitivity.

Yeah, probably going to ask him to keep the packaging and just send the phone and accessories. Save some shipping cost. Marking it as a gift usually covers you, it's just when ordering from companies that you can run into trouble because they don't like doing it.

They don't mind you doing it, they just want to pay the tax (that legally you should be doing!)

Having played on Nexus 4, iPhone 5 and Lumia 920 demo units on three occasions, the screens on the latter two seem slightly more responsive than the former.
