    It's back in stock at my local Vodafone store now. Probably others too.

    I guess that 1 to 2 week wait was pessimistic. :)

    Still dispatched from the UK. Take note of the delivery times.
    I don't know why you are arguing. No one is suggesting that the Vodafone is poor value. £100 is good value for money. The suggestion is that we pay too much in general in the UK for this kind of thing.
    The reason I pointed out the seller is that they are China based and use a UK front, info here. As much as anything its important to know who you are actually buying from because if you have a problem there is no comeback. It would appear that they are the same company as Gearbest.com http://www.globalegrow.com/job/foreign/

    Once again, I'm not disagreeing with you. It's not a comparison with the Vodafone. But more that the Vodafone was seen as such a bargain at £125 in the first place.
    As to GlobalGrow, the issue for me is not that they are based in China, but whether their customer service is any good.
