    Arrived today :)

    Although can someone suggest an app/widget to get a whole month calender onto one of the spare home screens?

    And is there any way to getting rid of some of the blank home screens?

    (Or a quicker way to turn on/off mobile data?)

    I dont have a nexus but my last Android update added a drop down tile menu from the top of the screen
    with flight mode,data etc

    Not possible in stock Android, if you want to, you'll need a Launcher such as Nova. Search Launcher or Nova on Play

    Try a Widget App, search on Play for Switches or Toggles there are lots of free ones. I use HD Widget although there is a small charge for this one.

    My order status says "dispatches by 10th September" and has been like that since I ordered on the 30th August.

    They charge £9.99 for 1-3 working day postage, so hopefully it'll ship today!

    What size did you order?

    Just asking, because on HUKD the theory is that there is a lack of 8GB models.
    I ordered a 16GB yesterday lunchtime, and it was loaded onto the Parcelforce van this morning.

    When I placed the order yesterday - mine too said "dispatch by 10 Sept."
  • Yeah, the 8Gb version!

    It's a bit rude they charge you £9.99 for 1-3 working day delivery when they know they have a shortage of phones.

    If you can stretch the extra £40 - I would say that you're better off all round, cancelling and reordering a 16GB.
    It'll futureproof you (to a certain extent) in terms of memory capacity - plus you're likely to get the phone quicker too.
    To be honest, I'm not sure that there'll be a huge amount left of either flavour - but it seems that the price has certainly shifted the 8GB stock very quickly.
  • Yeah, I think that's what I'll do! Cheers :)

    yeah - I saw that too....not sure where the story came from, but to be honest, it wouldn't surpise me.
  • I've re-ordered the 16Gb. Not surprised the 8Gb has sold out, the price is astounding.
