UK phone costs and delivery

[MartinS]

Yes, a travel adapter should work. The UK charger ships in its own seperate box while the US charger is in the Nexus One box. A seperate USB to Micro USB cable is also included.

Ooh, look at you Martin, playing with your spangly phone for the last two days and whatnot

thanks for the info on the travel adaptor - I once saw my boyfriend just plugging a two-pin American style plug straight into the UK mains and, to my surprise, nothing blew up. Clearly I don't understand electronics! Once the snow lessens a bit I might attempt the 30min walk into town and see if I can find an adaptor in preparation of delivery.

edit: so technically if you ordered the UK charger, you're getting two chargers for $19.99, plus a couple of

Yes that's correct - one for home and one for the office if you need it!

EDIT: I don't know about sticking the US adapter in our sockets (it doesn't have an earth) as I don't know electrics - I certainly won't be trying it though.

I ordered mine at 12:02am on the Wednesday 6th and it arrived at 8:40am on Friday 8th. Nice thing for me was I specified NO UK charger but was surprised to find a separate box with a UK Micro USB charger. The delivery note only said the phone so that saved me a few pounds with the import duty as well

I haven't recieved my DHL VAT bill yet but one strange thing happened on my credit card. I noticed the next morning (6th Jan) that there were two transactions from Google. The first for

How did you get it that cheap?

Ordered it on the Google Webshop, guess the exchange rate was pretty low at that moment

Orange have the best 3G network in the UK..

That's under debate, three claim that Orange measure it in a shady way, which if they did it the same, would mean they had vastly more than anyone in the UK. They have appealed to OFCOMedy to make them use a single way to measure coverage.

Vodafone have dire 3G coverage. It covers a big amount of *people*, by being in lots of cities, and having 4G or whatever the one above 3G is called now in many cities also.

However it is very poor in general coverage. I should know, I'm a bleeding vodafone customer
