I bought my first Defy just before Christmas.
Well I lost my Defy in the Indian Ocean on holiday a couple of weeks ago..... waterproof video
Problem is I really liked the Defy but is it really worth paying for twice £260 x2 ?
What is it like with 2.2 and will it ever get an open bootloader?
Convince me to get another one, because I can't decide.
BTW I'm now using a Nokia 5800, so it may not take too long before I get the urge.

Question is: What are alternatives and what features do you need? If you need waterproof video, the selection is probably limited . 260 Pounds sounds a bit expensive IMHO.

1.Don't know yet, 2. probably not.
I personally think the phone is worth it's money and it is a solid and reliable device, but because of the locked bootloader I will not buy a Motorola phone again and hence will not convinve you in buying one.
By elementary economics/accountings, your bricked phone is historical and shouldn't be factor in your decision

Why pay so much? On ebay you can find new for 200-220 euros. i found mine for 190
problem resolved
checked on Ebay and put in a bid for £215 on a new sim free Defy and won. Was checking out Samsung Galaxy S as well, they look nice. FTR Nokia 5800 is fairly rubbish, but worth £70.... hello Ebay
The moral here was that we shouldn't be too tight with our money. Or tie string on your phone when in the sea, you choose.
out.
any idea, where can we buy it from and price?!

Haha, Vimto, we have, haven't we? Now I just need the darn phone! Come on T-Mobile, make up your mind, or I will just send it back to spite you and get it from Three (Been to one of their stores today, they had plenty of stock, and I know the manager).
I offered £5.50 and it was rejected today...just put another offer of £6 hope it gets accepted!
Your getting yours in t mobile?
Yeah you might i.no they put the price up but im sure they take 6, there great cases for the price, love the fact it doesn't really put any extra to size as well as look sleek

oh gr8..all i am worried is abt the punctuality of flipkart..where r u frm?? how much time did it take for u to ship??
Just would like to know if anyone is already using this phone ?
I ordered the ZTE Axon 7 (4GB) on Amazon - never got the gray one...
Thought about buying the Lonovo Zuk pro2 but don't like no sd-slot !
So I ordered the Asus with 6GB / only 64GB version is available right now.
Should be delivered in apr. 8 days.
My 256gb 6gb Ram version was mailed to me yesterday... Waiting for it though it may take around 5 days....
Waiting SUX!!!!!
Yes I got mine on Saturday.
Really loving it so far

Where did you buy the 256GB version?? US?
Sent from my SM-N930T using XDA-Developers mobile app
I have it !
I came from ZF2 to this. Purchased from Taiwanese EBay seller. Deluxe ZS570KL ,820, 64GB
Loving it. Disabled all the bloat until root is provided. This things so fast you don't even know its there anway. I'm a huge fan of vanilla, so Installed Google Launcher. Perfection.
CONS so far:
- Sim cover is loose fitting. This seems to be widespread - im tempted to put a pinhead blob of bluetack in there, as its the door, not the tray. Such a small issue.
- Its so well made its slippery, similar to the HTC10. Case is on the way so wont be an issue after that
- Understandably, Battery life is a < day. I have so many chargers around, its not an issue for me.
PROS so Far:
- Fast
- Screen is gorgeous.
- Photo quality is amazing.
- It has not spontaneously exploded in my pocket in close proximity to my balls
- Overall, as a package, I'm super happy. Its a flagship killer.
My one missing feature would be wireless charging.... but there's so much inside this small package already, that I understand why its not.
Quite happy to help with any root/bootloader/rom projects when someone something gets underway in the forums.
Cheers, Mike
I've got a Snapdragon 821, 6gb ram, 256gb rom version as well.

Seller on ebay... also got the tempered glass protector and the flip case...
The flip case is stuck on with the sticky stuff they have on phone holders... It is an ASUS case...
Don't have a problem with the sim cover, in really tight - 6gb 256gb Snapdragon 821 version..
Case is great, it sticks on well and no issues with it as yet.
Very quick, no real problems there.
Amazon app store keeps force closing - old version of Amazon appstore. Downloaded new one and everything works fine...
Otherwise no problems, though funnily enough I haven't actually called anyone yet...
64GB/6GB/820 Was delivered this morning. Took only a day and half to get to me!!! Was very impressed! ASUS nailed it. Beautiful phone! Even more beautiful in person. I was extremely impressed. CAN'T WAIT TO GET A ROOT/CUSTOM ROM on this thing!
@ GodKingKnight: Where did you buy ?
I did not receive mine....same as with the ZTE...no luck with those new phones.

No, no shipping info either...
I asked Asus store USA but they won't deliver to Europe. I should get some one from within the USA to ship to and then send to me.
Only Asus store where the 5.7" ones are listed is the Spain one, but none is on stock.
hey any comparisons with the one plus 3?

You could order it from ebay, this is what I did.
I ordered the 820/6GB/64Gb variant straight from the ASUS store on Amazon. It comes with US warranty but the expected ship date isn't until Nov 22.

That's way too much, unless that's in Canadian.
Anticipating $899 S9, $999 S9+ USD. Hopefully that $350 S8 trade-in launch deal is real.

I doubt it will be that much, my guess is $799US S9 and $899US S9+ mainly to separate its price brackets to the king crop Note 8. Id say a mild $40-50 increase in price from the S8 series would be probably more in line.

Yeah I'd have to agree. Its going to be a minor bump in price if anything.
Least the S9 I'd say mild bump if any on the phone... S9+, it does have more ram and the dual camera so I'd expect it to be somewhere between what the S8+ and Note8 was at launch time.
Rumors in some european forums are getting hot and angry since this morning:

Yes, that sux, but we all have to get used to the fact that every newer Galaxy S will have a minor better battery +200 mAh or no change and in RAM no change or +2 GB after 2 or 3 generations.
BTW Where's that trade-in for S9? I know that for current 8 there's one.

I agree, the price goes up while Samsung drop a flagship feature then overwhelmed the device with an non-practical feature. :crying:
That's the trend I am seeing.
Hopefully the MWC 2018 brings some devices with similar features and these are available immediately afterwards. Maybe than the price will drop rapidly.

That would be good.
I especially followed prices after the premier of S7 and a rapid price drop I noticed after 4 months from the start of the retail sale (EU).
A big price drop for S8 (again EU), I noticed for Christmas 2017.
BTW any idea what bonus will be added to the preorders? VR or the new DEX maybe?
No info here. The reveal show is sunday und preorder starts monday if I'm right. Personally I hope for a trade-in of devices which are 2 years or younger.

I've recently confirmed with Samsung that indeed there is no info on preorders until the Premiere is done.
I was hoping for some leaks...
The trade-in sounds better than the new Dex and much much better than VR.
But I think that 3 years or younger would be a smash hit, especially because of the prices that recently leaked...
So its a trade-in actually. My S7 is traded for fix 100 € + up to 190 € if its in a very good condition. So I could get a S9+ for roundabout 600€ with trade-in and a company voucher. I'll wait some couple of days to decide.
Quite a difference here among carriers:
