Wiley Fox has cropped up out the blue and they have a new handset coming out soon. I may have a crack at one of those given the cheapness of them.

Do you have any news links to them having a new handset coming out?

Just found it on their website.

Like the look of the ulephone. Never heard of before.

Like the look of the vienna one which is the music specialist one. To be honest, prob listen to music on my phone for a few hours a day...

Where'd you buy yours?

Any cons?

I'd never heard of HTC when I bought my "SPV-100" back in the day, they were just badged "Orange"

Got mine from Gear Best, took about 2 weeks, tracked delivery, paid with Paypal for added protection (no arrival etc). Don't expect much support if it breaks after 9 months but that's unlikely and for £120 you can't argue.

Only cons so far (more niggles)

1) Fingerprint unlock seems to take about 2 seconds, but is always accurate (before update kept saying unrecognised)
2) Seems sometimes picky with standard chargers, cycles between charging and not, but swap the lead and it's fine. Also use the supplied fast charger and it always fine, 0-100% in two hours.

Best thing about it is the build quality and battery life, I couldn't go back to a phone that only lasts a day now.

Interesting comments regarding the last update[/url]

I got mine (early 5.5 firmware) from GearBest and no spyware, at the time there were people buying them from a UK Amazon seller complaining of spyware, I think they put their own ROMs on.

I'm happy with 5.5, but will probably upgrade it to 6 when a confirmed clean ROM comes out either OTA or flash.

Nicked my sons oneplusone for now - hes not happy. Takes a bit of getting used to but its a nice phone - maybe I'll consider the oneplus3. Certainly sound seems very good - better than my S5 was.

Talking about my old S5. Screen is screwed but I've got it to power on. Its insured but you need to send it off and they wipe it anyway. Trouble with the S5 is if you connect it to PC you can't access it if its locked (which it starts up in). No screen no unlock. :-(

Wish I had usb debug enabled now and had bothered with a samsung account (you can remote unlock). But there we go.

Looks like only option is to buy a special cable to plug into mini usb that has got hdmi output and usb input (for mouse). Plug into monitor/tv and usb mouse to unlock it.
