Not if you're a heavy YouTube user like myself, YouTube app is utter crap on IOS, quite possibly designed that way by Google, also you need Google Chrome installed on IOS to open links from YouTube.
Lastly no iPhone 6 is £184.99

Definitely be wary of eGlobal Central. I ordered a Nexus 9 from them before Christmas, which never turned up. They very quickly stopped replying to e-mails, after stating for a while that it was delayed in customs.
That said, they take paypal, so if that does happen you should be able to get your money back without too much hassle.

Genuine question, I currently have a oneplus one is the 5x any better to upgrade to?

Yes it is.. I upgraded myself from oneplus to Samsung Galaxy s6. Nexus 5x has a better camera n it runs googles latest software.

Good question. Some think the original one plus was better than the one plus 2 and still is a top phone. I think stay with your current phone unless your bored with it. You could try a different launcher and icon pack and maybe a new camera app like... A better camera... From app store... Will feel like a new phone.

add customs and the usual rip off £10 handling fee from dhl/royal mail.

Thanks for that, I think I'll stick with the oneplus for now and perhaps look to nexus in a few months, maybe when the price drops further. Just bored of the rubbish camera and slow updates.

Good phone but Chinese seller ? Personally I wouldn't risk buying from them plus you'll get import duty, vat etc charges.... Warranty returns go where ? Not sure why this is being voted hot .....

From the eGlobal UK Terms & Conditions:
16. Import, VAT & Customs
16.1 To simplify the process of buying internationally, eglobal central choose to handle the process of custom clearance for customers. By purchasing products through eglobal central, you authorise eglobal central to make arrangements for clearance of customs on your behalf for the products in your order. As importing products from overseas can be a hassle for most of our customers, we organise this process for you. We then provide you with fast local shipping to deliver the goods to your door. As a result, prices shown on this website are the final total you have to pay to have the order delivered to your door, without any hidden charges and customs delay.
16.2 After 3 month of receiving the goods and clearing customs, eGlobal Central will not be held responsible for any custom related fees.
Reads to me as though the price you pay includes all other costs of import.

YouTube app is crap agreed. Possibly designed like that by Google also agreed. You do not however need chrome installed on iOS to open links from YouTube. Original poster saying iPhone 6 is better, just looking for a reaction!!!
wowsers, thought they'd be quickly banned after a brief experiment

I hope so! I ordered the 32gb version of the phone! Didn't actually say whether or not it was the H791 or H798 variant, however, looking at the available bands that are listed, it can't be the H798, so took a punt on it being the international version of the phone. We shall see!

I was scared off imports from China after my Zenfone 2 went wrong and all I could get was a 2 week old response to an email suggesting I send the phone off to them and maybe, just maybe, they would fix it.
However, there were all the costs of sending it, then being without a phone for an indeterminate amount of time, plus no idea if it could be fixed, or if they would even try !
I won't buy again from someone with no customer service.

I like big screens. Anyone recommend an upgrade from Note 3, please? Perhaps Nexus 6P but same screen size.

Transcript from eGlobal earlier today.
He also said the item would come from HK and not China (not sure there's a difference any more tho...).
So whilst I'm all up for being cautious about import duties, and I've never used this company, I do think people should check their facts before stating something like this as if it were a fact.
Got mine a couple of days ago. The charger was a 2 pin one but it came with an adapter plug.

It's not a scam just a really **** company to deal with, they take your money immediately and then leave you dangling for weeks whilst they source the item they claim they already have in stock. I've heard the items turn up eventually but don't expect them to keep you in the loop.

Ordered the 32GB one on 14th March for £205 after £5 voucher. Little communication and was concerned with reviews but finally got email on 1st to say shipped and it arrived on 5th April. Has UK plug and says O2UK on the side of box although scored out. Great phone.
