Is this a misprice? Should this be the standard X5? If not, an absolute billy bargain. Black version only. Hong Kong warehouse so expect a 3-4 week wait. Spec is literally incredible for the money.

How to avoid PayPal conversion fee
When it comes to foreign transactions, PayPal defaults to use itself for converting rates in UK Sterling after adding a margin to their conversion rate.
Not only does it hide the "Not To Convert" option well, it also gives a false illusion that one may change the option when reaching PayPal's payment landing page. Even their customer feedback form has been made so difficult to submit any problem with screenshots. Their reply is equally pathetic that one has to start over again as they do not appear to even read the screenshots, as if the problem were just user error!
To avoid their conversion rate (eg, if you have Halifax Clarity card that does not add their own conversion margin), you must set it up first by going to :
It lists all credit cards on record. Click the "Conversion Options" for the credit card in question.
Select "Bill me in the currency listed on the seller's invoice"
click Submit
Logout
Now you can shop online without paying extra to PayPal. In the PayPal payment landing page, "Pay With" now shows $XX.YY USD, instead of a £ amount.

I think my wife was just talking about the Doogee the other night.
I'm sure I heard her mention something about the Doogee style.

Minor upgrade? Twice the storage, twice the RAM and 4G added. And this is actually cheaper than the standard X5. Crikey, there's no pleasing some folk.:stuck_out_tongue:

I have had this phone for a while now. And here's my take on it:
PROS
Superfast with the right type of launcher(Nova)
Excellent specs for the money
Very cheap replacement parts
Excellent video playback quality(only 720p, but looks much better).
Loud speakers.
Excellent GPS signal
Tried 4 different networks, all work perfectly fine with good signal.
Bright torch
Latest software updates.
Dual sim works brilliantly well
CONS
Camera is awful, not worth sharing pics from this phone.
Touch isn't as precise as some of the more recognised brands (may just be my handset)
Poor battery quality/life (replacement batteries are very cheap if main one fails)
Very little to no phone support from manufacturer
Speaker quality is not the greatest and some settings give poor sound(again could be my handset only)
Standard keyboard not for fast typists.
Small selection of specialised phone accessories(covers, protectors, etc.)
Very generic looking.
Telling your friends you have a doogee will always get sniggers from some quarters until they see the video quality.
No warranty
Overall I'm happy with my phone. It's got everything I want and I don't use social media so pictures are not important for me. I have one sim for calls and the Christmas package sim from EE for data. Works a treat.
I'd recommend it for anyone who prefers substance over style.

Yes, my wife accused me of having sex behind her back the other night to which I replied who did you think it was?

More likely it was you, snarf snarf. I said to Mrs topazz the other day that she never tells me when she is having an orgasm. She replied that she doesn't like phoning me when i'm at work. :confused:

Doogee style with the milkman, you should worry if you hear her say that.

Yeah sorry, I did ask her to speak quieter.

'Doogee Style' means she want's you to dress like a teenage doctor from the 80's.
Which is weird.
