    Choices!... lately (all Chinese made phones) are lasting more than 2 years, but there is a bit of chance something might go wrong, hence buying from eBuyer selection would make "peace of mind" better option...
    Especially most highly rated WilleyFox brand ones at half of the price of Moto-G or Elephone P9000 from amazon, for the same price, but performance "1/3 higher", that a tad overrated Moto-G

    Ordered from John Lewis - thanks !!
    What is the procedure for swapping SIM once the phone arrives
    Do I have to inform THREE or will it just carry on working ?
    It is the same size SIM (micro)

    just swap , and it will send the settings you need


    logging into your android play account will transfer all your data and apps over


    make sure your old phone is set to back up all your photos to google photos and they will be available on the new one

    If I don't download one - no it doesn't !

    I had to buy a phone today for a family member
    I had a look around and if it were for me I would have bought this one :

    Lenovo ZUK Z2

    But as I was after the phone fairly quickly and a simpler set up
    I went for this one
    Nexus 5X ..it was £242 whenI bought it

    The review on Amazon for the lenovo is not good unfortunately.
