    Turns out that £180 was a mistake and it IS £130 and the vodafone site has been corrected to reflect that.

    Whilst shopping for prices on the G510 I found G520 for £140 incl shipping

    HUAWEI-G520-MSM8225Q-Quad-core-4-5-inch-IPS-Screen-GPS-Dual-camera-512MB-4GB-Android-4-1-3G-Smartphone-White-6350059749800000001.jpg


    couldn't compare the 2 but i understand the 510 is dual core and 520 is quad core but could be mistaken
    When will the "Edit" and "Quote" button get fixed on the mobile web interface?

    Sounds about right - remember we live on treasure island so it will not be that price if we ever see the 520! As far as I am aware it is currently only for china, so might not work here?

    Did you follow the link?

    Its advertised on a US website includes "free shipping"

    Actually gone up £10 to £150 since i posted - still sound like a good price for quad core - just wondering whether it would work here?

    "fully compatible with worldwide quad-band GSM and WCDMA 3G networks"

    worth a punt?

    Thats actually a Hong Kong site, they often price in USD. On something like this which customs can clearly see it isn't valued below the limits you may well get caught for £30 of import duty (+£8 to Royal mail for collecting it) So phone is nearer £188 with pretty much no usable warranty. Its still a lot of phone but not quite so cheap.
