uk release - Essential Phone Questions & Answers

Does anyone have any idea when the UK release is planned ,about to pull the trigger on a U11+ or pixel 2 XL ,but would love to get the PH-1 instead

Still waiting for it myself but Essential hasn't shared any news. Everytime they've been asked they keep coming back with a bot like response "stay tuned for more news" or " we are working hard to release the phone in new markets." I'm finding it harder to wait for its release and am considering competitors too. I personally think it's not looking likely.

If you have money rather than looking at a contract, I got it from Amazon US for about £500 delivered (Inc taxes)

I've considered this too but with the phone plagued with build quality issues isn't it a risky move. The warranty doesn't apply on imported phones.
Have you had any problems or are aware if amazon UK would accept a return if something goes wrong?

That's fair enough and have been fortunate to actually have no hardware issues, with only the few niggles that are part of the early release.
I'm actually not aware if Amazon UK would and me being me, would have just seen what happens should it occur.
I do appreciate your concern though

I looked into that phone and camera $699 about £530 ,but at checkout it was adding about $200 import taxes etc

Same here - too bad that they are not sharing any details on that matter. I'll be going with the competition too, even tough I would have loved to give it a shot.

Used my Pixel XL one mate

Perhaps they aren't coming to the EU at all this late.

Went out on a limb and bought it from Amazon US. For £388 (dollar to GBP conversion, Inc tax) the phone PLUS the 360 camera! Only for Cyber Monday!

Dame just ordered the one plus 5 T

Just cancelled one plus 5t and ordered essential phone £388 for phone and 360 camera including import duty is bargain of the year

I brought an American to UK converter plug on the way back through Gatwick, works a charm ...

I'm thinking of buying it also but there camera is the showstopper. Has it improved at all? What do we do for warranty?
Thinking is it even worth doing videos for my YouTube channel with it.

In terms of warranty for UK I think we are stuffed. I got sick and tired of waiting for a release date and we still haven't heard anything. I haven't actually checked but maybe amazon UK will be willing to take it back if something is wrong.

Buy a G1 on Ebay or Elsewhere

This seller seems to have multiple G1's to sell, the price is insane but that's what you get for a pre-release device, if anybody's interested go for it and come back with information.
Weeeeeeee
I think I will wait until mine comes in on the 22. That price is ridiculous. $850 buy it now. ROFLMAO!!
damn i paid more than that lol
G1 For Sale
I can get a G1 for a pretty good price, more than the retail will be but it hasn't released and will sell out quick, so yeah. Would anyone be interested in a G1 for like $600 shipped, I'll send it out on Monday morning overnighted USPS with insurance? Brand new, still in box. Let me know.
hey...buddy...wanna buy a watch?
Or perhaps an Iphone?......LOL
Just kidding
I actually do need a nice watch, my last Citizen watch finally broke after like 5 years. My wrist feels empty.
As for the iPhone, I have an iPhone 3G brand new in box like 8 feet away from me... And no intentions and/or temptations of removing it from the factory packaging.
Back to the G1, I think I have someone set to buy, but I'll update here later on.
Isn't full price $399...? Only having T-Mobile specific 3G bands, the G1 wouldn't get past EDGE on other carriers like AT&T...

Exactly, it would only get EDGE on AT&T... Why do you think I'd never buy one for myself?
And yeah, full price is $399 but considering they're already sold out and then some on preorders, good luck getting one any time soon.
I could get the phone for like $450-460 shipped right now, but like I said, I have no use for it. There are people paying $1000+ for them, so I figured 600 wouldn't be too bad for both sides.
The pre-order alottment is sold out, yes. The stores in 3G areas will be getting them on Oct. 22nd though. I guess if someone in a non-3G market wanted one ASAP and didn't want to wait until 11/10 -- might be happy to find you

There won't be plenty in stores, if you preordered before October 3rd you'll get yours shipped 22nd-23rd, if you preorder after it'll take them longer to get it to you. I'm willing to bet this turns out to be a lesser iPhone surge, but like I said it's irrelevant to me because I have AT&T. I was going to buy and re-sell it, instead I just gave the guy who asked me contact info of where to get it for $460, I'm too lazy to go through that.
Yeah can't say im shocked about people like this who try and rip people off, if i had that much money to spend on a phone it sure wouldn't be spent on the g1!!

Pretty expensive right? 626,95 USD (4 670,03 SEK) incl shipping to Sweden + tax and customs, but what options do you have when ordering to Europe? Is there a better deal, preferrable "Buy it now"?
Maybe I should wait till it reaches the UK or what do you think? I'm getting tired of waiting of Android to be ported to my current HTC...
I got an offer of $400 shipped to me, I don't consider that to be outrageous at all. When the phone comes out, what will it cost? $400 + shipping.

I have mine for a few hours and already have it listed on eBay. I had to just touch it and look at it and now .. UP FOR AUCTION. I have the Xperia on order. I think it comes the end of the month. All I know is Windows Mobile.
Any way .. the phone is awesome. The thing I like the best as to the way it is built is the slide mechanism of the keyboard,. I think I have owned just about every GOOD PHONE out this year, including the HTC Touch Pro .. this keyboard is the nicest and the feel and the weight is just perfect. Hoping I like my Xperia as well ...

... I couldn't do it .. My auction was over $300 and I cancelled all bids and put my sim card back in. I will probably still buy the Xperia when it comes out - unless I fall in love with the dream. And if I don't I think I will give the Dream to my son rather than 'scalp' it on eBay.
Haven't had time to figure out how to just do the simple things .. I want to learn how to voice dial .. When I close a program is it really CLOSED or is it still running in the background sucking the life out of my battery ?? Maybe tonight I will take a closer look . . couldn't skip work 2 days in a row.

Viable to purchase unlocked g1's off ebay?
Hey guys,
I've found some "unlocked" handsets on ebay for sale, but was wondering if they would still be restricted to the 2g network??
As that's where I thought they were currently with their "unlocking" process...
Also does T-Mobile do anything special in order for gmail to push mail to the device, or is that just like controlled entreily over a standard data connection?
2g/3g isn't a restriction. Its a hardware limitation.
When the phone is fully unlocked it will work on any network with both 2G and 3G.
From what I know it will not work with ATT 3G as they are different frequencies and I have heard lots of problems with peoples Unlocked G1's syncing to google/gmail under other carriers other than T-Mobile.

Refurbished Wifi Xooms 399$

Todays daily woot deal is the xoom wifi tablet for 399$, good deal!
http://www.woot.com/
I'm actually here because of today's woot... I had thought about picking one up shortly after they came out but decided against it for the price and my own lack of funds/need for it.
Now I've actually got a little money to spare but wondering if one of the other few competitors might be better so I'm trying to see what's best in terms of root, kernals, roms etc... Thinking I might end up picking one up at this rate.
I was looking at the same thing. Does anyone here have experience with the refurb items coming out of Motorolla? Are they generally in like new condition?
I am struggling with this one too...
I picked up a Xoom at Costco for $500 a few weeks ago, and could return it and pick up one off Woot for $100 cheaper. Only thing lacking is the fact that I lose the silicone case that comes with the Costco retail package.
Tempted to pull the trigger!
Does it still get the 4g upgrade?

No - this is the WiFi only model. Not the 3g.
I purchased a refurb Xoom direct from Motorola at the end of May and I've had no issues with it all. I have a friend that also purchased a refurb Xoom direct from Moto. Both came in retail packaging with charger, cable and OEM screen protector as well as stock warranty. Didn't think I could go wrong.
Well, I think I am going to eat the $100 bucks and keep the Costco 90 day return policy in my back pocket in case some other fantastic tablet comes along to temp me away from my Xoom. I have until 9/19 for my return... ;-)

Yeah I just realized that when looking at the woot site lol. I'm an idiot.
I spent about the same on a used WIFI model only a few months ago. I think this is a great price for the xoom. keep in mind that this is the google flagship, therefore updates come ASAP whereas other tablets have to wait for their respective companies to give the go-ahead.
i paid 570 for mine at launch and I dont regret it. So, yeah, go for it.
I have been wanting to get one since launch, and woot's deal of the day convinced me to finally pull the trigger on it. Can't wait to start messing with it when it arrives!

I doubt they have that many refurb, chance are that you will get new unit!
they are probably checking if lowering the price help them sell, in canada they just lowered the price to 499 like in the US at costco for the wifi and at this price point it's a great device! I lub mine!
I was too tempted and ended up ordering one last night as well. Just quickly browsing, it seemed like there are some good devs working on this and some good kernals/roms.
Definitely looking forward to playing with it! As much as I hate waiting around for it, I'll at least have time to research and prepare my plans of what to do to it.

Interesting that today Moto site shows no refurbished xooms available.
The same deal showed up again yesterday during the woot-off. I wasn't refreshing frequently so I don't really know how many they had left to sell, but I know they didn't sell out during the day of the deal.

Ordered the T-Mobile version!

I ordered the T-Mobile version earlier today, FINALLY. Not sure if I should have waited for the DEV edition, but the T-Mobile version comes with an unlockable bootloader so I guess that's good. If the DEV edition becomes available later this week I will simply return the tmo version and get that.
Anyone else order the T-Mobile Moto X?
UPDATE: Our Moto X's have started shipping, although the moto site still does not reflect it. Showing a delivery date of 9/16 (Monday)!

Might wait for the Dev. Edition and/or Motomaker edition, the appealing thing about the Moto X is the possibility of the 32gb internal storage and you won't get that with the carrier version.
Do we know if the Dev edition will come with T Mobiles AWS HSPA? If so, that is what I'm going to wait for.

It probably won't. The T-Mobile version does though, and is fully unlockable... so I'd go with that one.
Almost bit the bullet and bought one of these. Can't justify dropping 600 bucks for 16gb and from most accounts a poor camera and average screen. I really wanted to love the phone, but in my limited time in playing with one, I just don't feel it's a 600 dollar product. Motorola pays 220 dollars to have the phone made, they would have taken over the world if they didn't try to get 3x the price out of customers.

Thanks for wishing me luck, it worked. I bought a LG G2 for 600 dollars. Problem solved. I appreciate the luck! :good: 32GB, 1080P screen, Great camera with OIS, for the same price. It wasn't the fact that phones cost 600 dollars, its the fact that Motorola is charging 600 dollars for that phone. Its not a 600 dollar piece of hardware. Anyway, I'm good to go now, back to my regularly scheduled G2 forums. Best of luck X guys! Its really a cool and unique phone.

You're welcome
And congrats!
I tried to order one several times yesterday. I had it the basket every time and when I clicked the purchase button I kept getting a message about an error with my credit card which has plenty of money on it. Now I have three holds pending on my credit card in the amount of the purchase and they all say Motorola Direct. First chat session was cut off and second one was with a person saying the only moto x available for purchase was the att exclusive one. I told them they had bad information and they insisted I was wrong. I made a call about it and have had two call backs today but each time I was busy. Hoping for another call back today because I'm not going to sit on hold for another 20 minutes today to see what they have come up with. They did admit that the website has a problem but without more info I am in the dark still I'm losing my faith in this company and it sucks because I want to try this phone and give them a chance but it is frustrating so far. I know its early in the game for the T-Mobile variant but damn, its not looking good so far.

In other threads that don't have to do with the t-mobile version, people have reported the phone showing up even before the motorola order status page was updated. So....anyway, take that with some heavy salt.

To my fellow North Americans

Good evening,
Was looking around and seems like Z5 is what I've been waiting for, and like many of you I cannot wait to get my hands on one. Searched it up on UK and USA sites, prices are extremely expensive for a Z5 (imagine how much the Z5 P is going to cost), anyway I searched it up on USA Amazon and found a decent price. Ive never actually purchased a smartphone online before but have made Tablet purchases and simple manufacturer defects are covered by the seller.
NGP Store USA from US Amazon sent me a ridiculous response. See the attachments, I asked nicely whether it is covered under manufacturer defect if the phone does not perform as advertised. I understand it has no warranty but manufacturer defect is another thing, event written on their policies. I dont know are they implying the phones are not IP 68 certified.
Anyway, be warned my young jedis rather wait till it launches in Canada or find some seller that is actually a seller. Seriously, paying up to $1000 for a phone that is not as advertised is non-sense. really makes me wonder where they get their stock from.
Interesting response I bought mine on EBay from Taiwan. Seller is 23port. I bought Z2 and Z3 from them as well. They are one if the first to get the new devices and ship DHL for free. Went out 10/2 and arrived 10/5.
You can get it for about $650~ on Handtec. Not bad, considering

i have actually purchased from them before but the stupid canadian import fees, taxes, and currency is ridiculous lol it would nearly end up 1000+ sigh
Got my Z5 Graphite Black from Clove. Supposed to be delivered to my house by Tuesday hopefully! I only had good experience with them, would highly recommend them
To be honest, I like their response. The phone ip certification does not qualify it to be kept under the pressure of a running tap. The phone is gently submerged then taken out again, not blasted by a running tap stream of water.
Sent from my D5803 using XDA Free mobile app
i dont know what kind of sink you have there sir, but my sink doesnt blast out tap water. I avoided to use the word "submerge" under water to illustrate a point here. After checking out every other sites, including eBay, yes eBay, nearly all sellers provide 1 year warranty. Then again, warranty and manufacturer defect policy are two separate things. What they are doing is very skeptical, makes me really wonder where they get their phones.
Even aside from all that, this points out they have extremely poor customer service or the CSR is just unprofessional. Could have structured the sentence professionally.
Im trying to avoid purchasing from UK, most of the prices there are extremely high. i might actually order from 23port as proposed by augie. Thanks for the info tho guys!
It must be my European sink with strong pipes and forceful blast

The seller proposed by augie is selling at $704 usd with free shipping, one other seller (not the one I've encountered) from amazon is also selling around that price.
Handtec is selling a bit cheaper than clove if you want it from uk

I really wanted to try the Z line. I was excited to see that VZW had one of them listed as an upcoming device. I was hoping the Z5 would land on VZW instead of the Z4v, but now news has it that VZW ditched the Sony lineup period... This is really sad news.
$1000?? Try searching Amazon
The Z5C is $559 on amazon:
Honestly, I wouldn't spend more than $650 on the Z5 and that's being generous given the flaws we've seen thus far. Granted that's software that has yet to receive post launch updates that improve performance.

Bell will sell the Z5 as early as next week for 650$cad outright.
Bell will only be carrying the black or white versions, and will carrier-lock it. Here's their unlock policy: http://support.bell.ca/Billing-and-Accounts/Security_and_privacy/My_mobile_phone_is_locked

!! No uk release !!

Well after not being able to get hold of a ZTE Axon 7 from a UK seller looks like us who live in UK will get snubbed once again
http://m.gsmarena.com/lg_wont_officially_sell_the_v20_in_the_uk-news-20440.php
Lets help each other out and share where you will be getting yours from.
So far Clove UK have confirmed they will be selling it but no doubt at a ridiculous price http://blog.clove.co.uk/2016/09/09/lg-v20-not-coming-uk/
Lets also hope Amazon.de stock it too.
Are you also annoyed at handset manufacturers snubbing us please share your views and why you think this is happening more often.
Can't say I'm surprised, although it is disappointing. Apparently LG's decision was because they think Europeans don't like big screen phones. Hopefully, if there is a European release it won't have reduced storage like the LG V10.

Well after not being able to get hold of a ZTE Axon 7 from a UK seller looks like us who live in UK will get snubbed once again
http://m.gsmarena.com/lg_wont_officially_sell_the_v20_in_the_uk-news-20440.php
Lets help each other out and share where you will be getting yours from.
So far Clove UK have confirmed they will be selling it but no doubt at a ridiculous price http://blog.clove.co.uk/2016/09/09/lg-v20-not-coming-uk/
Lets also hope Amazon.de stock it too.
Are you also annoyed at handset manufacturers snubbing us please share your views and why you think this is happening more often.

I'm *really* hoping that Clove don't jack up the price to beyond reasonable. I mean they're providing 2 years warranty with it and are importing them too but if it's astronomical they'll only sell a handful if that and I don't know if it would even be worth it for them. I do hope it's fairly priced. Aside from that I'm going to check amazon.de and amazon.fr and I'll need to check my phone insurance will cover it since it won't be a UK released phone.
Such a shame LG aren't releasing it in the UK yet again....
Anyone know how one would approach the warranty situation if it's bought from Amazon.de or.fr? I'd guess just sending it back to Amazon wouldn't be too difficult within the normal warranty period for the device?
Waiting patiently for clove to release details also. With the debacle that is the note 7, I'm hoping a non UK release decision gets rethought.

One would've thought with all the note 7's being turned off and handed back, they would've wanted to sell it everywhere .

Blame Brexit - everyone seems to!
Disappointing we are left in the cold again. I was looking to V20 once I return my Note7 but if its not coming I'm not sure I will bother.

After the note 7 I might wait a couple of weeks for real feedback and to ensure no issues are present!

Hey mate. Where did you order the US model from? I'm interested in getting one but all I can see are Korean models for sale on eBay etc.
Darn !!! The phone has a faulty camera !!! The ois continuously shakes and the phone vibrates whenever I open the camera app... I purchased it from a seller who stated it was new ..BS they bloody would have known it was f#&!&#D . going through return processes now
On a positive side the sound was so good and loud I couldn't put it max. The Dolby atoms demo was friggen amazing. Screen is bright and very nice so no idea what some people are moaning about the brightness for as its similar to my G4. Couldn't test camera though !! Lol. Looks like this is a sign to get the EU model from Amazon.de then. Ha ha.
Never returned anything to USA before so let's see what happens with postage and custom fees.

There is Dolby on the phone it worked fine. Tested the demo video etc. Here is a video of the issue
can't see it was rooted or a fake device as it came with all the box and registration / warranty stuff and all serial numbers checked out . Seller has accepted return and he is going to do a warranty claim his end. Not really bothered as will get my money back. Shame I now have to get an eu model or go with the plan of getting a pal to buy one from USA but if it breaks warranty will be difficult with customs and delivery charges. Eekk

Sorry to hear about the issues with your handset, however, glad to hear you're able to get your money back.
THX for the heads-up on the Dolby Atmos , I'll be checking it out later today, when mine arrives.
