Nice! Let us know your impressions once you get it!

I've got this protective sleeve from Begoos on Etsy.com. Will let people know what I think once it arrives (should be around same time as I get the phone next week, shipping estimate ~2 days).

Seems it has been sat in my local depot since 9am so not coming today wish I could just go get it!

I won't be getting a case I haven't used one on my last three phones now.

That sucks. Not long now though! You'll probably get it tomorrow

And yeah, I did intend on having this phone naked but decided I want at least scratch protection for when it's in my pocket/on the desk etc.

 

[Mrrikki]

Yeah should have it when home from work tomorrow!

The world may end between now and tomorrow.

Assuming no Armageddon, I'd be interested in your first impressions! Still thinking about it but so so close to picking one up....

I'm currently using an LG G4 so it will be interesting to see how it stacks up against what I think is the best phone of this year so far.

I'm using a one m8 and also have a nexus 5 which actually runs better on 5.1.1 than my one m8 does on 5.0.1. I'd be interested to know how the play stacks up against last years flagships to know if its a worthy upgrade or better to save the money and wait for something else

Come on guys I really need to hear your opinions on this phone as I am unsure whether to get the play or the style! I would like to hear the comparison between the LG G4 and the play, I recently bought the G3 and I really liked it but the best sot I got was only three hours which was just awful and there was nothing running that drained the battery but it did have a Quad display and a 3000mh battery and that is what the Style has and that really bothers me as I want more sot and that Quad display and 3000mh battery is a worry!

My useage is really only Web browsing a few emails and I do watch Netflix on it so I am sure the Play would be perfect but is the build quality good and is that processor quick enough?

I am no tech expert so I have no idea so I am looking forward to some of you guys telling me many good things

So DHL are idiots, I had a text asking if I wanted it to be left at an Inpost locker which I said yes to and they confirmed my request on email as I knew I wouldn't be in, So.....today they tried to deliver it to my house!! I will now be getting it tomorrow, grrrrr.

 

[Mrrikki]

Well DHL get better, they now have an issue with inpost.... They will now deliver it to my work but said Wednesday, I told them how unhappy I was and I have now been told it will be delivered tomorrow.

Fingers crossed.

I recently had a parcel delivered - not by DHL - for which the latest update to the order tracking, which I checked on a Tuesday, stated that the delivery would be on the following Thursday. In fact it came that same day, Tuesday....fortunately I was at home to sign for it, but only a little later and I would have left.

So far I am liking this, for my use email, social media, shopping, you tube, notes and calendar management. I have only played a bit of temple run so far so no heavy games.

I have had zero lag, it is responsive and quick compared to my LG G4 I have not noticed a difference in my everyday use.

It feels light in the hand, the sound is good for a mono speaker but the quality is good being front facing.

Camera is good but not LG G4 standard.

I have been using it for nearly 11 hours today and battery has been good also, 4 hours 25 mins screen time and still on 34%, not bad when I have been doing lots of set up stuff.

Will be using it full time for the next few weeks at least so can ask any questions people may have.

I'm going to hold back and let you enjoy. Your first impressions sound very good. Just one question....display quality?

Display is very good to be honest, i am not missing quad HD, this display should have been in the Moto G 3rd gen.

Also it's really bright, have not been over 50% brightness yet with some outside use.

It has teleporting capabilities - confirmed!

Estimated delivery was the 31st. It was picked up from China on Monday and now suddenly out of the blue it's out for delivery in the UK, on its way to me today! Amazing!

I'll be comparing it vs Nexus 5. I think it'll make for a very interesting comparison.
