It's a decent phone for the money, but the one I used had less than 1.5gb free after a clean install. Appreciate it has an SD card slot, but it doesn't give you a lot of wiggle room for apps.

beat me to it! i think its a great price but maybe coz the Xperia M5 comes out in a few weeks...

none the less for price its bit of a bargain

Assume this is the 8gb version then if only 1.5gb left after install!

this or the sony xperia t3 from argos same price?

Won't let me order it :disappointed: Keep getting a white page on laptop and mobile

The Vodafone website is a buggy mess, try different browsers.

Also, I've found it fails to work correctly if you are an existing customer (when your email address has been used for a previous order). Instead, set up a new account for each new order.

Thanks for that. It was a white screen after logging in but I made another account up and it worked

BTW I checked one out in store and it had 2.9GB available storage left. I'm guessing the pre-installed apps haven't been updated. I'll disable most of them anyway and pray for root!

Anyone know if this has the Vodafone branding on it? Despite the specs, its a deal breaker.

This or moto g?

These are difficult and probably costly to unlock

i was thinking about this for a second [email protected], Vodafone messed up my order, than decided to go with Nexus 5 from ebay (China) £130

Shame it isn't the 16gb model but for £99 this is a steal!

I got this 5 days back for £125 from vodafone. Can i get the price difference back?

can confirm it has 2.9gb spare and more apps which can be removed for space.

Those that have already purchased this, are the pre-installed Apps easy to uninstall and how much space do they free up? Cheers.

This should be hotter! Much better than Sony T3 and even the latest gen Moto G

ordered thanks op

​I believe it's about 1.5GB free when all the preinstalled apps are updated. If someone figures out how to root this then we'll be able to use Folder Mount

has anyone actually purchased this yet at this price? I can't seem to order it using the mobile vodaphone site!!!

Just got one in store for my girlfriend. Just a note, when buying In-store I had to buy a £10 top up with the phone on PAYG so £109 total. Not sure if store specific but just a heads up. Still a sweet deal

OOS online might try instore make a good back up phone

Hot got one for the Mrs at £125, display is poor but allot of mobile for £99

why it didn't get more heat? Anything better for <£150?

​
Sony allow apps to me moved to the sd card on all the z series with the lollipop update.
maybe the same for these

If the app supports it then some of it can be moved to the SD card but some will always remain in the internal memory of the phone.

I bought this in purple unlocked for £105

tried to canx the 125 and was on the phone for an hour to foreign call centres. had to put the phone down and complain about the original sales member who set me on this unfortunate journey. the supervisor in sales sorted it in 1 minute. I cant deal with a company thats so **** retentive about its customer service so Im out ordering online. Maybe pick one up from the shop in Kendal on Sunday for 110.

Has anyone got theirs yet? Does it have any Vodafone branding on it? Startup, shutdown, etc? Mine is coming tomorrow apparently.

Thanks op, wanted a smaller phone, 5.5inch phone just too big. ordered :smiley:

Thanks OP bought one last night online. Was going for the k3 note, but this cheaper, no Chinese bloat ware and a tad smaller than the k3 note. Plus warranty and returns.

Not too bothered r.e. Root for this as I have been doing to background reading and hopefully Sony will unlock the boot loader in due course.

1-2 weeks delivery is a bit of a bummer, guess I need to keep using my troubled iPhone 4 for a little bit longer!

Ps anyone received theirs from Vodafone yet?

Currently with guff gaff and in 2 kind water to change to Vodafone payg.

No news from Vodafone since I bought it :disappointed:
I selected to collect it from a store.

battery is a shocker. barely used it and ran out of juice within 10hrs

Just used my m2 aqua and who put the talk back on the first of the accessibility functions 3 accidental clicks and 2 frustrating hours later without photo taking. Hope the m4 aqua cars better. Talk back makes the phone barely useable but then that's disability discrimination act taken to extremes. Poo on you sony

ordered - fingers crossed

ordered online today saying 2-4 days delivery, this is after trying to get one instore at bham high st which was showing stock online, yet surprise surprise they didn't have any. so ring the branch before making the trek.

wow delivered today, that was quick. Came with a slip of paper saying compatible with 128gb memory card and to go to settings- apps move app to memory card to increase onboard memory space.

Ordered on 31/8 - still not dispatched...

I bought an unlock for this phone and I was told that the IMEI wasn't able to be unlocked as the codes for this batch of phones isn't on the Sony server. I'm not sure what to do now..

Ordered this on Monday, took 9 attempts and finally with the help of online chat got the order to go through, 24 hours later and still no confirmation email so went on online chat, was told to wait 24 hours for it to update their system.
After 48 hours called customer support, they said it was still not on system and wait a bit longer.
Later that evening got a call from them asking how it all went, explained I was still waiting for confirmation, they said oh that's nothing to do with them and I should call customer service.
Just went on online chat again, was told no order had gone through and would I like to order again, said yes then was told phone had gone up to £125, I explained I had saved the page from Monday saying my order had been completed at £99, they said sorry it's £125. Told them not to bother.
What a sham!!!

Be thankful you had a lucky escape from Vodafone support hell. The M4 Aqua has serious problems with overheating. Users have been advised to download a firmware update which reduces temperature a little at the expense of throttling the CPU and crippling the phone.

Expired: now £125

Great deal this, great phone for the money. Thanks OP

Now £150

deal finished

150£ on the website !

now £150 online

It says 1 year for an unlock code on a number but you also need a different email too. However if you do fall foul voda aren't clever enough to stop you trying a different email address
